I do not own the Avengers they belong to Marvel
It had started out as an ordinary day. I was walking through the tower on my way to my lab when we were called in for a mission. Apparently there was a giant robot attacking a town in California and we had to go take care of it. So the whole team piled into the quinjet and flew to the other side of the country. It was a fairly easy fight, took about twenty minutes. After the robot was destroyed we were not that enthusiastic about getting back on the plane, so I invited the Avengers to come and hang out in my mansion in Malibu for the day since it was a lot closer then New York.
We were all hanging out by the pool, and enjoying ourselves. Natasha and clit were playing what they called a friendly game of volleyball but to everyone else looked like a full blown tournament. Thor was sitting on one of the deck chairs trying to 'obtain a manly golden glow using the suns heat.' While me Bruce and cap sat on a pool chair trying to relax.
I was just about to fall asleep when something pushed me into the pool completely waking me up. All in up out of the water ready to find and scream at whoever had pushed me in when I noticed that something was not right. I looked around at my team, instead of their bathing suits they were all back in there usual outfits some of which were now completely soaked from being in the water. The one person that really worried me though was Steve he was still in his pool chair but looked completely frozen over. Man, that's two times now that he has been frozen I'm starting to feel bad for the guy. I swam over to him, also realizing I was wearing clothes too, and put my hand on his arm and sure enough he has freezing, jerking my hand away at the sudden cold I looked back at the team then put two fingers against his neck and let out a sigh of relief when I felt a faint heartbeat. I looked around at the teams' confused faces trying to see if one of them were showing sighs that this was all a prank but they weren't. I spoke first saying what was on everybody's mind.
"ok, what happened one minute I am about to enter a beautiful dream filled sleep and the next minute we are all in our clothes and Steve over here is a capsicle again." There was a pregnant pause everyone looked around at each other looking for an answer but no one had one. Finally Natasha spoke.
"I don't know what happened but think right now our top priority should be getting Steve unfrozen then we can figure out the rest." everyone nodded in agreement and began pulling Steve out of the water. Thor picked him up bridal style and brought him inside. He laid him on the couch in my living room and Bruce went over to make sure he was alright besides being well, frozen. When I finally got a good look at cap, He was wearing a captain America uniform but not the same one he wears now this one is torn up and looked worn out. It kind of looked like his original outfit.
I took a deep breath trying to calm down when I noticed something was wrong or rather right depending on how you look at it. i couldn't feel the ark reactor. I looked down at my soaked chest and frantically felt around. Feeling only skin, I finally lifted up my shirt and heard a few gasps from the others that had probably noticed me something was wrong. I myself had to hold in a gasp at what I saw. No hole, no shrapnel just a plain old chest.
