Avengers of the Future
Chapter Three
James carried Sophia to her room that was attached to their bunker like house and got her ready for bed. James supervised, making sure she brushed her teeth, brushed her hair, washed her face and then read her a story. James kissed his daughter on the forehead when she was asleep and slowly and carefully got up and left her in the bunker. Sophia slept soundly in her bed as James left to go to Laura’s lab only to find his wife sitting at her desk, doing nothing. “What’s wrong?” he asked, sitting on the desk slightly. “I thought this would be a lot easier but it isn’t. Just ignoring our parents until they help us get rid of Ultron. I’m just glad that I uploaded the blocker into the systems. Hopefully, it will hold long enough for us to figure something out.” Laura said before the communication monitor lit up. “Breaker Breaker.” Azari said from his base. Azari was The Black Panther and Storm’s son. He has the power of electrical shock by touch. He was in charge of the only base in Africa. “Hey Azari. How is it going?” James asked before the other monitors lit up with the others. Thor’s daughter, Torunn, who was sent to Midguard to learn about humanity, is in charge of the main base in Asia. Pepper was currently in Berlin at one of three European bases and was on the screen. The other people on the screen were assorted mutants, honorary Avengers and Johnny Storm. “Did you succeed?” Azari asked and Laura nodded. “We brought them back but not before the machine short circuited and died. Ultron got the prototype working and we almost didn’t make it back.” Laura sighed. “Did you upload the blocker?” Johnny asked and James nodded. “We were interrupted but Laura left the flash drive or whatever it is called, in the computer.” He replied and sighed. “What are your reports?”. Azari went to explain that their base was still well hidden but the Drones were scanning the surrounding which was odd. The other confirmed that the Drones were doing that there as well. “They are scanning for something. We just need to figure out what and soon before it is too late.”. Laura said and the others agreed. “Pym almost got himself killed today. Who wants him after he turns 17?” James asked. When a person turns 17 or 18, they are assigned a base and sent there using different methods of stealth and modes of transportation. Johnny raised his hand and said. “I’ll take him.”. James nodded. Pym’s powers were a mixture of his parents’ powers. He could grow and shrink like his father and shoot ‘stings’ like his mother. The group talked for a while longer before they all signed off. James rotated Laura’s chair towards him and he placed his hands on either side of the chair, looking into his wife’s eyes before kissing her softly. “You know I love you right?” He muttered into the kiss before he pushed the chair back slightly. Laura laughed slightly. “Yes, I do and you are not going to flatter me into having sex with you.” Laura said and pulled away, smiling at him before slapping his face jokingly before standing up and walking out of her lab and to their room to get ready for bed. Inside the lab, you could hear James groan loudly in frustration before walking out of the lab after locking it up. “You are a tease, you know that?” He caught up to Laura and smiled slightly before kissing her. Laura smiled widely before they headed into their private bunker where James still tried to convince Laura to have sex. From outside the bunker, you could clearly hear a hard slap and James saying. “Ow, Woman!” before a laugh and then went quiet.
Tony was showing Bruce, Natasha, Steve and Clint their bunkers to sleep in. “I hope that you can sleep tonight.” Tony said before he left to his own bunker. Bruce entered his bunker and sat down on the bed. He couldn’t believe it. His own daughter hated his guts and he couldn’t change it. Bruce wondered if he should go and find where his future self is and confront him about it. He rattled his brain for reasons and he could not find a reasonable one. Steve lay on his bed as he remembered his father and mother. Steve was born weak and fragile which made his mother almost coddle him. He had so many health problems that it shocked doctors that he was still alive. From what he could remember, his parents never looked at him with distaste or disapproval. He had damaged his son and he felt horrible about it. Soon the bunker was very quiet as everyone was falling asleep. The next morning, Sophia was up before her parents and went into their room. She smiled and giggled before jumping on the bed repeatedly. James woke up and looked up at Sophia as Laura groaned. He smiled softly before getting up, grabbing his daughter and saying. “Shhh. Let mommy sleep.”. James quietly took Sophia out of their private bunker and into the open area. “Can I have breakfast?” she asked and James nodded with a smile on his face. “Ok, lets go.” He said and took Sophia to the kitchen. Steve heard James outside and quickly got up to talk to his son because James wouldn’t do anything with his daughter there. Steve quickly made his way to the kitchen to see James making breakfast. He stayed at the door for a while and watching James cook eggs, bacon and pancakes. Steve noticed a few tattoos on James since he was shirtless with only cargo pants on and noticed a particular tattoo on his upper arm. It looked like his shield but instead of a star in the middle, there was a black window. James then noticed Steve at the door and his happy smile instantly disappeared. “Hey.” He said and Steve returned the greeting. “Look, James, I just want to-“. James held up his hand. “Save it.” He said but Steve continued. “I want to just tell you how sorry I am that I treated you like I did. I guess I just never thought that I would have a child out of wedlock. I thought I would be married when I had children.” Steve said and Sophia looked up at Steve. “Who is he, Daddy?” she asked and James answered. “No one, Sweetie, drink your juice.” She nodded and began to drink from her sippy cup. Steve was hurt that James wouldn’t tell Sophia that he was her grandfather. Steve looked down at Sophia and saw how adorable she was, how innocent she was. Steve looked at James again and noticed scars covering his body; most of the scars were covered with tattoos. He noticed that on his chest, over his heart, was a tattoo with Laura’s name in it, surrounded by a heart. James’ body was similar to Steve’s, muscular, tall and was almost an exact replica of Steve only with red ear length hair. Sophia had a similar face to Laura and her eyes but had James’ red hair Soon, James placed a plate of breakfast in front of Sophia and Steve saw that the pancakes had a smilie face on them. James then asked his daughter. “Do you want Daddy to cut them or do you want to try and cut them?” Sophia smiled. “Daddy!” she said, making James smile and walk over to cut the pancakes for her. James was doing everything he could to be the best father to Sophia and did his part in raising her. He changed diapers, fed her, did his part in getting up during the night when Sophia was a baby so Laura was the only one doing everything. Soon, Laura walked in with PJ shorts and a tank top on with Bruce trailing behind her saying that she needs to go back and change into something more appropriate then a tank top and shorts. James rolled his eyes at this and handed Laura a cup of tea before pouring himself a cup of coffee. Laura was doing everything she could not to snap at Bruce in front of her daughter. Her eyes flickered green and James wrapped his arm around her waist to calm her down. Bruce couldn’t just come into her life when she is 21 almost 22 and be like a father to her. Tony walked in and could feel the tension in the air. “I smelled food, so I thought I would come help make breakfast for the rest of the people here. James nodded as Pym and Francis walked in to help. Pym went through a door at the far end of the kitchen and brought back two baskets of eggs. Tony explained. “We have chickens through that door in an underground farm area. There are skylights that are on the ceiling that are disguised as water wells on the surface.”. Steve furrowed his eyebrows. “Surface?”. Tony nodded. “This base is underground and it is about as big as a professional football field. We have livestock for fresh food, canned food that we got from the surrounding stores and we also cleared every store out of anything valuable like food, supplies, weapons, furniture. We also have an indoor garden for vegetables and fruits.” Tony said as Francis, Pym, James and himself began cooking for everyone else in the base. Laura created a super bacterium that broke down the manure from the animals into safe fertilizer in a matter of minutes so the smell of animal poop didn’t stink up the place. They had a few people that took care of the animals and made sure they were healthy. They couldn’t have the animals outside because the drones would kill them all. After about an hour of cooking, breakfast was ready for everyone in the base and it was first come first serve. Laura made her a plate and ate it in the kitchen as James cleaned Sophia up from breakfast and brought her back to their bunker to get her dressed for the day. Today would be the day that The Avengers would help find a way to help bring Ultron down for good.
