OK, this is my first Avengers and Skulduggery Pleasant Crossover Fanfiction, well, second actually... I wrote one but took it down after a day coz it was the crappiest this I'd ever written. Hopefully this won't be.

All chapters will be over 1,000 words, maybe even 2,000. I know that 1,000 is still kinda short but it's better than nothing.

Chapter 1

Wake Up Call/ The Stupidity Of Erskine Ravel

...

The tapping that she was woken to began as a casual tap at 6 in the morning on her day off one that she was obviously going to ignore. Valkyrie had tried in vain to fall back asleep. But the Skeleton outside her window was having none of that so he began to knock. Now, Valkyrie didn't know if Skulduggery wanted everyone to know that her best friend was a skeleton or what. Because banging on a waindow is a great way to wake up neighbours, and trust Valkyrie, she knows they will freak out. He'd done this before of course, Valkryei smiled at the memory. It had been Halloween and a certain skeleton was thumping her window at 10:30 pm. Her neighbour, a A grumpy old man named Mr Dickson (figures) had stomped out with the oldest and most out of date flash light ever made. He had seen the skeleton and nearly had a heart attack. Valkyrie had to lie and say that she'd bought an Skelton robot for Halloween, Mr Dickson was still grumpy and annoyed. Even though he belived her, just to prove her point and irritate Skulduggery she shoved him off the ledge and had said 'see, not real!". Valkyries as tempted to do just that. But, since it wasn't Halloween, mr Dickson would probably think she was a Wacko. So, she tugged her bed sheets around her and stumbled over to her window where, there was a Skelton in a pin-stripe suit and matching hat. She sighed, this better be urgent for him to of been keeping her up for two hours, or he was just really lonely. And had resorted to annoying her. Valkyrie stubbornly opened the window.

"I swear to God Skulduggery, if your favourite hat has gone missing again then I will call Ghastly or Erskine so they can have a restraining order on you" Valkyrie threatened

"I doubt they'd listen to you, Valkyrie" Skulduggery said

"some how I think they'd agree" Valkyrie said

"Where would you be without me?" Skulduggery replied smugly

"Sleeping"

Skulduggery was silent

"that's what I thought" Valkyrie sighed and moved to close the window

"This is urgent" Skulduggery told her, the tone in his voice told her to listen

"What's up?" Valkyrie asked

Skulduggery was tempted to say 'The Sky' but he dint want to become a piano, so... "Well, You know those Nut Jobs who apparently saved Manhattan Island from that Alien attack"

"Yeah, I watched that live, they did a good job of demolishing it"

"Yes, well, they call themselves The Avengers and a new path rear has risen and apparently they need help"

"what's the threat?"

Skulduggery looked sheepish "Well, they haven't actually told us yet"

"So it could be something really stupid"

"It could be but I doubt it"

"But it could be, and I have been awake since 6:00 in the morning for something stupid"

A moment passed "Yes, that could be the case"

"Oh My God" Valkyrie groaned

"What?"

"If this is something stupid then I will kill who ever is in charge"

"and If you can't"

"I'll kill you"

"oh"

...

Once Valkyrie was dressed she tapped her mirror and the reflection stepped out, Valkyrie didn't bother to explain to it. It just nodded. She jumped out the window and cushioned her landing with air, she made her way over to the Bentley. Skulduggery was leaning against the bonnet, he turned when he saw her.

"Hey, where are we going Then?" She said and leant against the Bentley

Skulduggery scowled, as much as a Skeleton could "Do Not lean against my car"

"But-"

"Do Not"

"You-"

"My Car"

"that's-"

"Off"

Valkyrie grumbled and reluctantly gave in, she stomped over to the passenger seat and jumped in. Skulduggery tilted his skull triumphantly and got in. He started the car and they drove in silence.

"Are you sulking?" Skulduggery asked, his eyes- No, eye sockets on the road.

"Yes-No- Maybe..." Valkyrie sulked

"Ok"

"you haven't answered my question"

"what question?"

"Where are we going?"

"To the sanctuary"

Valkyrie pouted "Oh"

Skulduggery looked over at the 18 year old girl sat next to him "What now?"

"I thought we'd go to there headquarters"

"No, they won't tell us where it is"

"why not"

"They're probably too cheap to have one"

"It would be too much shame when they take us to a diner to exchange information"

"probably, not that I would know what that shame feels like" Skulduggery said

Valkyrie sighed "So, who's on the team?"

"Shouldn't you know?"

valkyrie gave him a look "I'm not a Superhero nerd"

"No, you just don't read any files"

"true"

"anyway, on the team is Tony Stark, AKA Iron Man, He's a billionaire and he is self obsessed, eccentric and according to Agent Romanov he's also Narcissistic"

"Joy..." Valkyrie said sarcastically "Who's Romanov?"

"Natasha Romanov, AKA Black Widow, She's a Russian Spy who works for the S.H.I.E.L.D who has, let's say a very specific skill set"

"what's SHIELD?" Valkyrie asked

"A secret, Secret spy organisation"

"What does it stand for?"

"I don't know, All I know is that someone wanted it to spell SHIELD very badly"

"Yeah, Who's next?"

"Thor Odison, The God Of Thunder, He's from some planet called Asgard-"

"Do They have dragons?"

"What?"

"dragons. do they have Dragons on Asgard?"

Skulduggery ignored her and carried on, this made Valkyrie scowl "He has a magic hammer called the Mjolnir, no one else can lift it except him, like the sceptre of the Ancients nearly. And you know Loki"

"The imbecile who tried to take over earth?"

"Yes, well he's Thor's brother"

"let me guess, He's adopted?"

"Yes... Next is Clint Barton, Codename Hawkeye He is a skilled archer-"

"And can make Katniss Everdeen look like a Girl Scout" Valkyrie said with a smirk

Skulduggery sighed "And was under mind control, thanks to Loki"

"Yeah, He's so Badass" Valkyrie grinned

"Next is Bruce Banner, who goes by the Hulk or 'The Other Guy' when-"

"He"s transformed into a green rage monster"

"He was In a Lab Experiment gone wrong, He suffered Gamma Radiation when he was trying to make Super Soldier Syrum, basically he tried to make a replica of Captain America Syrum, thing"

"Uh huh"

"Like you"

"what?"

"Well he transforms when he gets angry and you turn Darquesse when you nearly die" Skulduggery said

"Your comparing me to a giant, green rage monster?" Valkyrie raised a brow

"Yes..."

"you know what happened to Fletcher"

"Anyway, onto Captain America, He is a super soldier who was trapped in ice for about eighty years, His name is actually Steve Rogers"

"Ha!"

"What?"

"Well, Fletcher thought his name was Fletcher, because Fletchers an idiot"

"That's true"

"so now I get to cut his hair"

"Fletcher betted on his hair?"

"No, I'm cutting it so I can take a picture of his face and send it to everyone"

"Well, he always wanted to be famous"

"yup, be careful what you wish for"

They drove on in silence while Valkyrie debated wether she should burn Fletcher's hair or not...

...

The Bentley pulled up at the Sanctuary, The two detectives got out and headed for the doors, Valkyrie stopped Skulduggery.

"Shouldn't you put the Façade on?" Valkyrie asked

"No-Wait yes, then I can scare them" Skulduggery said

Valkyrie smiled evilly

...

Director Fury was not Happy, Infact he was Furious as Stark had said (pun intended). He had been waiting in this damned Meeting Room for over 2 hours, apparently they were waiting for Valkyrie Cain who was a Top Detective. Her Detective partner, Skulduggery Pleasant who he had not seen yet had gone to get her. Apparently they were both Top Detectives. Although Nick thought that their names were Crappy and weird (Sorry reader about Nick). The only thingies knew about Pleasant was that he wore a suit, not much to go on there and he knew zilch about Cain. Not only that, Fury was stuck with this absolute Numb-Skull who was apparently Grand Mage and had been elected. His name was Erskine Ravel and the amount of crap that came out of his mouth was un-believable, he was also a war hero... That too was un believable.

When Fury had asked Erskine if he could phone pleasant to see what was holding him up! Erskine had sheepishly replied

"Well, My Phones kinda Plastic..." Erskine had handed over a toddlers play phone

Fury had been ready to give up at that point, of course, Stark was loving Fury's desperation... Although, nothing was funnier than when Tony had tried to look under Madame Mist's (an Elder) veil. The response that he got from that was hilarious. Fury had resorted to talking to Ghastly Bespoke (an Elder), the man was scarred all over his face. But Fury just wanted to talk to someone who wasn't creepy or and Idiot. Bespoke obviously didn't want to be here, it was written all over his face. The only people who wanted to be here or where to stupid to care where, Mist, Erskine and Tipstaff, the Administer.

The Avengers where all slouching in their seats around the meaning table, Stark was hacking into the Sanctuary's database, although he had discovered that most of their files and secrets where kept in actual files, not on a computer. Widow and Hawkeye where sharpening their equipment , Natasha had her knives and Clint had his arrows, yes, they had brought weapons... Much to Tipstaff's annoyance who they had discovered was kind've a target for annoying people who were bored and liked to annoy people. And much to Tipstaff's annoyance, Tony had constantly been chatting away and annoying Tipstaff and everyone else. (That's a lot of Annoyance for one sentence). Banner was clenching and un clenching his fists while Steve (poor Steve) was trying to make a conversation with Erskine (with no succeed). Thor was swinging his hammer and saying 'I am Thor, God Of Thunder!' Tipstaff was trying to calm down Thor.

So, everyone is pissed, annoyed and bored... Not for much longer

everyone was silenced by two loud voices that were coming from two people who were just entering the room, everyone listened.

"Don't be so spineless" The teen with black hair, dressed in black clothes said

"Valkyrie" the Man dressed in a pin-stripe suit groaned

"Sorry, Am I getting on your nerves?" The girl grinned

"Stop"

"Am I giving you a Skull-Ache?"

"No..."

"It's rude not to make eye socket contact with people when you talk to them"

The Man said nothing but he seemed to notice everyone looking at them, he nudges the girl who turns a shade of pink when she notices.

The Man clears his throat "I'm Skulduggery Pleasant and this is my Detective partner Valkyrie Cain"

the he whole room was silent, even Stark...

"you guys are so late, I've been stuck with these dumb idiots for the last 2 hours!" Erskine yelled, Valkyrie almost laughed at the stupidity of Erskine Ravel.
