Author's Note:This is an 'Avengers' collaboration fan fiction between me and my little sister. There will be a lot of switching back and forth between our points of view (POV) for certain parts of the story. In these cases, the chapters will be updated as each of us finish our points of view. We hope you enjoy our fan fiction, and feel free to give us constructive criticism. Thank you for reading!
The two sisters wandered the streets of New York, not knowing how they got there. The last thing the two remembered was sitting on the couch while watching "The Avengers". They lived all the way in Washington, so to end up in New York for no reason was next to impossible.
"What do we do!?" Julie, the older but much smaller sister panicked.
"Do you have your phone?" Jana, the younger but much larger sister asked.
"Of course not!" Julie snapped. "Where would I even put it!?" She motioned to her blue striped sundress.
Jana let out a frustrated sigh and searched her pockets. She didn't find her cell phone, but she did find a handful of quarters that had been long since forgotten in the pocket of her denim shorts.
"How much do payphones cost?" Julie asked, eyeing Jana's handful of quarters with a confused look. "And do payphones even exist anymore?"
"I don't know!" Jana snapped. "Just help me look for one!"
Julie looked around and spotted a row of payphones in an alleyway across the street.
"There we go!" Julie exclaimed.
Jana eyed the completely stalled New York traffic.
"Go." Jana said before walking between the cars to the other side of the street.
"Jana!" Julie called after her. "You're jaywalking!"
"I don't give a-" A taxi honked and blocked out the end of Jana's sentence.
Julie looked both ways fearfully, even though traffic was completely stalled, and then made a mad dash to the other side of the street to catch up with Jana.
"Here." Jana shoved the quarters into Julie's hands. "You call."
Julie walked down the row of three phones; the first two were broken. She picked up the third phone, shoved some quarters into the coin slot, and dialed their home phone number.
"Hopefully they'll pick up…" Julie muttered more to herself than Jana.
It rang once…
"C'mon…"
…twice…
"C'mon! Pick up the phone!
…once more…
"Mommy! Daddy! Please pick up!"
An automatic voice kicked in.
We're sorry. You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service-
Julie slammed the phone onto the receiver with a frustrated growl and tried to call again, but just got the same result.
"It said the flipping number was disconnected or something!" Julie hissed. "Here! Call Mommy or Daddy's cell."
Julie shoved what was left of the quarters at Jana.
Jana received the same "number no longer in service" message for both their mom and dad's cell phones.
"WHAT DO WE DO!?" Julie shouted at the sky dramatically. "SOMEBODY TELL US WHAT TO DO!"
"I'm gonna go get a map or something from the shop over there so we can at least find our way." Jana said, pointing in the direction of a nearby shop. "Wait here in case Mommy or Daddy tries to call back."
Julie nodded and Jana ran out of the alleyway.
