DESCRIPTION:
The box of wishes, the box of fate.
Enclosed in here is the path you await.
Away you go now, to where this is true and real.
To begin your destinies, meet yourselves, the doppelgänger and your mates.
AKA, seven 14yr olds end up finding a box which pulls them into the Marvel universe as mini-me's. Starting right at the end of the first Thor movie when Loki - and now 'me' - fall into the void.
(A/N: As I mentioned, this is an RP sort of situation. Well no actually, my mates were like "write a fanfic! Write a fanfic!" so this is what they asked for loosely, them as the avengers. This is 1 of 2 stories like this I'm doing for them.)Disclaimer: I do not own, or claim to own anything from the MARVEL universe, as much as I'd love to. I don't own any of my friends who I incorporated as the doppelgangers in this fan fiction, this is basically an RP with my friends (and me!) in as our ideal characters. I don't own my school either, luckily, that would be a helluva lot of paperwork.
KEY (who our doppelgangers are):
Jessica - Loki
Jackie - Tony Stark
Keira - Steve Rogers
Alanna - Thor
Alaw - Clint Barton
Cora - Bruce Banner
Leah - Natasha Romanoff
Chapter 1
(A/N: I tried writing this 3rd person or whatever, just didn't work, writing from 'my' POV)
Jessica's POV
"Hey guys, what's this?" I asked as I picked a box up off the floor in the middle of the corridor. It was a normal day at school, Jackie, Keira, Alanna and I were making our way down to spend the lunch hour in the computer room as per usual.
We spent most of our dinner times fangirling, as one does - because fangirling is a serious business - over anything and everything that at least one of us loved. Jackie had a particular interest in vampires, who could blame her? They were awesome but her true fangirl moments appeared when you talked about Supernatural. I'd watched the first five minutes of episode one before turning it off, seriously, don't start watching at 3:00am it makes the night a whole lot creepier.
Alanna's fandom was PLL, she absolutely loves the television series. Neither I nor Jackie had watched it but we'd both admitted it sounded rather interesting.
My fangirl moments arrived when talking about the Avengers, more importantly Loki, but I liked that whole part of the Marvel universe as a whole. I mean, who couldn't like the Trickster? First of all, with Tom Hiddleston acting as him he was hot as hell, plus he had magic, was very British - being English myself I appreciated that - and was a mischief maker, what was there not to love?
"I'm not sure. Let's sell it on eBay!" Jackie said, I sighed, that was Jackie for you.
"Nope, seems pretty cool actually. Hey, wait a minute, there's Norse runes on this!" I said, feeling a fangirl moment coming on, Norse meant their mythology, and as well as it being a big part of the Marvel universe both Jackie and I loved mythology as a whole.
"Can you read it?" Alanna asked. I just looked at her, raising an eyebrow. Did it look as if I read old Norse? She saw my look and suggested be Google the runes, Jackie and I thought that was a reasonable enough suggestion.
"What do you think's in it?" Jackie asked as we ascended the stairs up to the third, and top, floor of the school.
"Dunno." I replied, I'd give it a closer look when I was sitting down. It was a bit odd that it was sitting randomly in the middle of the hall, it could be valuable for all we knew.
I sat down once we moved into the air conditioned room that was relatively empty.
"Hi Jackie." Leah and Cora called over from the far end of the room. No doubt Cora was looking at something to do with an upcoming airshow, she went to them often, her favourite plane was a Harriet or Harrier, I couldn't really remember, it was nice though. Hopefully I could convince my Mum to take me to an airshow sometime soon, planes are pretty cool.
Alaw was sitting there too, talking horses and tractors with Leah.
"Welsh through and through." I muttered under my breath, it was true though they were both very Welsh. That was an important thing to know about Leah, she loved animals, farming, countryside. There was a more important thing to know about her though. She made the best chocolate brownies in the world, and no, I really wasn't exaggerating.
"What's that?" Alaw asked gesturing the the wooden box in my hand.
"Not sure. That's what we're gonna try and find out now." I replied inspecting the box more closely now. I could tell these were definitely Norse runes, I could recognize a few of them though I was far from able to read it. I knew how to spell my name, write help and a few other runes but that was as far as it went right now. Also, the engraving of Yggdrasil was a little clue too.
Slowly I opened the box and found another engraving on the inside, this one in English, it read:
'The box of wishes, the box of fate.
Enclosed in here is the path you await.
Away you go now, to where this is true and real.
To begin your destinies, meet yourselves, the doppelgangers and your mates.'
Suddenly I was getting a bad feeling about this, the whole thing looked very prophetic, the irony was it mist likely had a 'made in China' stamp on the base and was probably mass made. So much for wishes though. Thought it would have been totally awesome if it all ended up as part of Norse mythology.
"Gods, I wish I lived in the Marvel world, only the Avengers there of course."
Everyone agreed, that was the moment everything changed.
(A/N: Let's blame this on fate, Asgard, Yggdrasil, whatever you want I know with books like these the whole universe swap is usually quite hard to believe but when is it ever? All I'm going to say it, the universe lives a long life, she - or he - gets bored sometimes, needs to mix things up.)
