"Alex!" Clint shouted the name into the mike, "You're all clear! Shriek away!"
Clint covered his ears as Alex's high pitched scream made it's way to his ears all the way up 27 floors to his fragile ears. He watched as over twenty of the random creatures that were coming from all sides fell, blood gushing from their ears and mouths. "It's clear," Alex panted, turning back on her com before leaning herself forward, hands braced on her knees panting.
"We need to find this guy before he brings more of those things," Natasha ordered into her own com. Clint could see her moving about the wreckage in the streets, leaping over a car with the Cap and Thor close behind.
"I can't see him from above," Tony announced, whizzing onto the roof next to Clint and offering him a ride to the ground, which he gratefully accepted.
"I've already shrunk back down already guys," Bruce breathed into the com, specifically built to stay on his pants when he hulked out without breaking.
"There is no one on this side either," Alex agreed, standing straight to head over to were the group was now gathering in the middle of third street and Broadway. They watched her carefully make her way over cars, a weak smile made it's way to Bruce's tired face as Tony clapped him on the back. Suddenly she stopped, her eyes widening, "GUYS!" her shouted brought their attention back in full force a moment too late.
The world around them was shifting, suddenly there was nothing but darkness and then they fell to solid ground. Bruce shot up first, which was saying a lot considering that he had Hulked out only moments before, the memory of Alex's terrified face swimming in his brain. "Alex!?" he rasped out as loudly as he could, looking around the now crowded streets of New York.
Tony groaned, sitting up, noticing his lack of suit but lacking the stamina to mention it as he looked around, "How did everyone get back so soon?"
"Stark, when did you change the name on the Tower?" Steve's voice was wary suddenly, him always being one of the first to catch when something isn't quite right.
"I didn't…" Tony looked up quickly, noticing in the background that sure enough it that the tower said Stark once again…and there were three more in the background.
"When did you build the new ones?" Bruce wondered, looking over at Tony.
"He didn't…" Clint said, his voice was full of dread, fear was coated with a healthy layer of shock while he stood, "That one says Banner…and that one says Stone…Richards on the last one."
"What did you just say?" Bruce shouted, leaping up as quickly as he could, staring at what was sure enough said Banner tower.
"Where are we?"
"Doctor Banner? Tony Stark? What the hell are you two…" the voice trailed off, anger seething there, "What the hell did you do to yourself Tony? Banner you look like a hundred years old!"
The group turned quickly, only to notice that they were staring into the face of Remy… Gambit. "Gambit, what are you doing here?" Natasha asked quickly, noticing that Remy wasn't wearing anything even close to normal, but a suit, a very nice one at that.
"Gambit? What the hell did you just call me that for?" he shot back, raising his eyebrows, "And who the hell are you guys?"
"Gambit you don't…"
"My name is Remy, not Gambit, and you guys…"
"Remy, we have to talk to someone," Bruce said quickly, waving away the thought, "Someone smart, we need to see Alex."
"I don't think you are exactly on a first name basis with Alex, Banner," Remy shot back, a look of disdain that made Bruce flinch was shot his way.
"You don't understand," Tony announced, making his way between the men, "We aren't…we don't know what happened. We were fighting with a mutant ten seconds ago with Alex and now we are here."
"What the hell are you on Stark?" Remy questioned, looking the man up and down, "And how did you steal that reactor back from Alex, she bought that from you two years ago."
"What…" Tony slumped back suddenly, a shocked look on his face, "Where's Pepper?"
"Tony, you seriously don't remember do you? You fired her like a year ago, she works for Stone now, you said that she couldn't tell you how to run your damned life," Remy quoted, looking down at him, "You guys seriously don't…"
"We told you, we were fighting a mutant! We got sent here!" the Captain stood up for him quickly, moving forward, "It must've…"
"Done something?" Remy supplied, "Hell yea it must've done something for you to be here."
"What do you mean by that?" Steve asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Dude, you died like thirty years ago, you're Captain America right?"
Steve straightened suddenly, his eyes widening, "I'm seriously…"
"Dead? Yea that sounds right."
"That mutant must've been a jumper," Natasha hissed, "one that can jump through…"
"Dimensions," Tony gasped, a hand going to his throat, "He put us somewhere were nothing happened the way it did in our world."
"Yea, sure they did Stark," Remy half laughed, poking Tony's chest, "I'm going to get back to Al now."
"No!" Bruce shouted, grabbing onto Remy's wrist tightly, "We need to see Alex now!"
"I don't think that…"
"Now," Natasha ordered, her guns coming out to point at the mutant, "and I won't kill you."
Remy half laughed, raising his hands in defeat, "Fine, fine, don't say I didn't warn you Banner."
