Prologue.

Andrew looked at the robot that floated around him and it said, "Sir, you are still confused but apparently the spell that brought me to life made sure I'd not be destroyed and I maintained your suit sir."

"Okay," Andrew frowned, at Halloween he had dressed up as a DC superhero, it was fun actually but he didn't even know who it was but, umm, it was fun to dress up as but he frowned as he remembered that the man who sold him the costume didn't quite know either.

"Sir," the robot said, "I should mention that you dressed up as Booster Gold: the hero of the 25th century. The spell created his suit and all its powers for you, umm, including the time machine circuitry and I have, at your insistence, limited your access to the time travel circuits."

Andrew blinked and said, "Wait, this isn't my room."

"Ah, of course," the robot said, "I should mention that we are currently in the late nineteen thirties right now and are, in fact, being sheltered by a young Steve Rogers, he found us and he currently believes you were wounded, I've kept myself hidden from him."

The robot disappeared as a skinny young man walked in, he looked at Andrew and said, "Mr. Carter, how are you feeling today?"

'Umm, Carter?' Andrew frowned, 'Yeah, I'm Mr. Carter,' he then smiled and said, "I'm feeling better."

Andrew winced as he saw Steve cough a bit, Steve smiled and said, "Sorry, would you like something to drink?"

Andrew nodded and Steve smiled as he walked out, Andrew looked confused and thought, "Late nineteen thirties? Oh crap!"

Steve walked in and smiled a bit shyly and said, "Here, I thought you'd like a cup of coffee."

Andrew nodded and he coughed as he drank it and said, "Wow, that's some really strong coffee."

Steve smiled and said, "Now why is a young man like you out so far from home? "You said that you came from California?"

Andrew stared wide eyed at him and nodded, "Yeah, umm, from a town called Sunnydale, why?"

"Well," Steve said, "I'm just worried, you're pretty young, aren't you?"

"Young?" Andrew frowned, "Yeah, I guess I am."

Steve nodded, he heard a voice downstairs and said, "We're up here Bucky."

'Bucky?' Andrew thought, 'Who the hell is Bucky and who would name their kid that?'

A taller man walked in, he gave a cheerful smile said, "James Barns, my friends call me Bucky but you can call me James."

Andrew nodded and after James took Steve away Andrew looked at the robot and said, "Okay Robot…"

"Skeets, sir, you may call me Skeets," the robot said happily.

"Reprogram the damn time thing," Andrew said, "I shouldn't be here and you're damn lucky I know the rules of time travel. Wait, I know more of them now?"

"Of course sir," Skeets said, "Booster Gold utilized time travel quite often but sir, it shall take me a month to allow you access to go home, it was just easier to block your access."

Andrew frowned and said, "I can't believe it but I believe you and I think you had the right idea; time travel is bad news if you're not careful."

"Indeed sir, please try to limit your interactions with the natives," Skeets said, "And remember: loose lips destroys space and time."

Andrew giggled and said, "Great."

"Hey Carter," James yelled, "You're staying with us until you get on your feet, better not mind sharing Steve's room."

As Andrew walked down James looked at him and said, "You're damn lucky Steve's a bleeding heart with big wide eyed kids like yourself, I'll help you get a job and Steve's an art student."

Steve smiled and said, "He likes you, honest, now come and have some good food."

Andrew looked at the food and frowned and said, "So, umm, what is it?"

"Well, Eggs and Bacon," Steve said, "Eat up."

"It's greasy," Andrew said, "Umm, thanks." He ate the greasy food and his stomach roiled at the food, he knew he couldn't exactly ask for the low fat stuff that existed in his time period.

Steve grinned, "So, do you have a first name Mr. Carter?"

"Oh, umm, Andrew."

"Andrew," Steve said, "Well, do you want to help me with the dishes?"

"So," Andrew said, "Umm, do you and James live together?"

"Best friends, my mom died a few months ago Andrew," Steve said and Andrew winced in sympathy, Steve smiled and said, "Thanks."

Over the next few weeks Andrew got to know the two and he liked Steve more than he should've, he guessed, and James finally let him call him Bucky.

Skeets kept hidden and kept working on the bright blue and gold suit, he told Andrew about Jon Michael Carter, the real Booster Gold, while Steve and Bucky were sleeping, and Andrew liked what he heard though he understood the beginnings of Booster Gold.

One night after Bucky convinced Steve to go out with him on a double date leaving Andrew alone, Andrew was reading the paper and he knew the war was going to happen soon, hell he was lucky he hadn't been drafted because there no way to convince people that he was like fifteen.

"Sir," Skeets said, "I am not completely sure but I think I'm getting a digital signal, do they have digital radios here at this time?"

"Umm," Andrew said, "I, umm, don't think they had those here, if they did they'd probably be the size of my arm and have a rotatory dial on them which, umm, I didn't know how they work, thanks for helping me learn about it."

"Your welcome sir," Skeets said, "But sir, I believe it is a terrorist organization calling itself Hydra, is that name familiar to you?"

Andrew shook his head and said, "No…. I don't know about any terrorist groups but I think Uncle Phil would know, he works for some government agency."

"Well sir, according to their signal they appear to be hunting down your roommate and his friend," Skeets said, "Sir, I think they should be stopped."

Andrew looked at the suit and said, "Umm, is it ready to be used? I kinda have borrowed memories on how to use it."

"Do not worry sir," Skeets said, "I am coming with you and I shall prepare for the battle as I do not believe this era can handle assault weapons."

A few minutes later Andrew was clumsily flying through the skies, he had no idea how this worked but it appeared to be guided by his movements and he was starting to get the hang of it.

"Sir," Skeets said politely, "The Hydra group is down there, I can detect the radio signals."

Andrew flew down and saw them, 'Hmm, four people and they have guns and yeah, they look pretty advanced,' Andrew thought, 'And they have some type of weird harnesses on.'

"Ah, sir," Skeets said, 'Those harnesses are keeping them anchored in this timeline, apparently they cannot stay here if those harnesses are damaged."

"Wait," Andrew said, "How are we still here?"

"I am unsure," Skeets said, "The time travel circuitry is more advanced, five hundred years more advanced, but we will investigate."

Andrew flew down towards them and he frowned when they saw him, 'Of course they do because my suit's radiating gold colored energies, it probably looks pretty.'

One of them looked up and said, "Umm, is that one of Fury's boys?"

Andrew held his hand out and fired a golden beam that hit one of them in the harness he wore, the man screamed as he was pulled back to his time period as the others pulled out their guns and fired energy bolts.

Andrew fired back as the suit's shields absorbed most of the hits but they still hurt, as he fired back he praised his gaming skills; all those hours of playing Doom finally paid off.

He fired another blast of golden energy and took down another one, he sighed, 'Why are they trying to kill Steve? The guy was a saint; he never saw Steve raise his voice but yeesh, he sometimes came back with bruises, Bucky told him that it was because Steve refused to let people get bullied and sometimes that got him beat up.

Andrew frowned, 'This doesn't make any sense really, Steve was just an art student, right?'

As Andrew dispatched the last guy he saw the guy smirk before he disappeared and Skeets said, "Sir, there is a small seeker drone of some sort heading to where Mr. Rogers and Barnes are dining with their lady friends."

Andrew flew off towards the seeker drone, he cursed and said, "Oh great, right in front the restaurant."

In the restaurant Steve frowned and said, "So Bucky, what do you think of Andrew really? I mean he's a nice guy but you seem a bit protective of him."

"Quiet," Bucky said, "He's dodgy about his past, I think he might've been running away from something, not sure what though and I want to help him."

Steve looked up and, "What the hell is that!?"

Bucky looked out and saw a flying device that he had never seen before and someone was flying towards it, then the person stopped in front of it and got hit by the machine.

Steve ran out followed by Bucky, Steve saw the brightly coloured man get up and he froze as he recognized who it was and said, "Andrew!?"

Skeets flew down and said, "Sir, the circuitry is ready, we can go home now."

Andrew nodded and felt time slip and saw the time stream open up, as he faded away from time he swore that Steve and Bucky looked upset. 'Eh,' he thought, 'I'll never see either of them again. But if someone was supposedly altering the timeline then that could lead to trouble for me too.'

"Sir," Skeets said, "We're back in your time period, the day after you disappeared in the past."

Andrew frowned and said, "Umm, can you detect other changes in the timeline?"

Skeets bobbed around and said, "Yes sir, indeed I can."

How should Andrew fight time traveling agents of evil? Should Andrew collect any souvenirs from his trips?
