READ THIS FIRST! This is a side story for my other one, A Whole New World; if you haven't read that than this story will make very little sense.

For those who voted for this: I will post chapters as the story continues in the other one I wrote. I will let you know when there should be an intervention so you can read the next chapter of this story. Also, the Avengers as a group are not formed yet as you will read in this chapter and will not be till around the end of season 2, BUT that does not mean that there aren't going to be chapters posted; oh no, that would take all the fun out of it. ;)

Enjoy!

"Steve, you need a break. Some time to get readjusted to the world." Fury said in his calm tone.

"But…" Steve started to protest.

"No buts. The world has changed a lot in fifty years, as has its people, you need time to get readjusted to it."

Steve did not look happy, he was never one to take a vacation. "Fine, but where? What's different about getting adjusted in New York vs elsewhere?"

"You'll be spending a month in a small town called Jasper Nevada. It's out in the middle of nowhere and very low key. Just spend the time getting to know the people, how they talk, act, just how they function nowadays. And do yourself a favor and try and get up-to-date on the technology, at least that which the public has."

"You mean learn how to use it?" Steve asked sarcastically, "I still don't see why I can't do that here."

"Steve, you just need a different setting, at least for a little bit. And I'm not asking you too I'm ordering you too." Truth was, was that SHEILD had its hands full. Billionaire Tony Stark had just revealed his identity as Iron Man and declared that his company was no longer going to be making weapons, and as he provided a lot of SHIELD's weaponry they were trying to convince him of otherwise; Earth had been visited by someone, apparently from Asgrard, a few months back, they were still sorting through that mess; and now to top it all of the had a man from the past to deal with, which they really didn't have time for. "I'm calling an old friend of mine who will help you with the transition, his name is William Fowler. He's stationed near Jasper and goes there often."

Steve let out a small huff but said nothing, he was a soldier and he followed orders. At least he wouldn't be alone, "When do I leave?"

"Tomorrow morning, so you better get packing." Steve left and Fury just shook his head.

"Got a stubborn one there." A voice suddenly said, though not startling Fury.

"That's only the begging, I was expecting you sooner Fowler." He looked up at his friend.

Fowler chuckled, "Sorry for making you wait, so is he the one you want my help with? You do realize that I've already got my hands full?"

"Yes, well I'm sorry but I really need your help. SHEILD is in neck deep and the last thing we need is an overgrown child asking what everything is. Besides, it's only for a month, maybe you could have your coworkers help you."

Fowler's eyes went a little wide, Captain America, gigantic alien robots, and an energy crazed girl all under one roof, what could possibly go wrong? "Yeah, probably best that I not. Well I'll see what I can do, I need to get going. I have a meeting with Stark." You could hear the enthusiastic joy in the last statement.

Had Fury not been Nick Fury he would have shuddered at that, "Good luck."

"Thanks, I'll need it with that man." Fowler got up and left.

"Jarvis, what's on the agenda today?" Tony asked while getting himself some coffee.

"You have a meeting with Fowler, but other than that the day is free." JARVIS's automated voice answered. Tony nodded, more time to work on his new Iron Man suit. "Sir, Fowler is at the door."

"Let him in," Tony said walking into the living room, "Fowler, long time no see!"

"Cut the jokes Stark, I'm here on business and business only." Fowler said dryly, he really didn't want to be here.

"Alright fine, so how did it do?" Tony hated it when people like Fowler were around, they took the life out of everything.

"The D.N.G.S. did well, not as well as the Ark Reactor, but the next time you need transportation ask someone else." All the memories of the hassle it took to keep the D.N.G.S. out of Mech's hands came flooding back and he viably shuddered.

"That bad eh?" He took another sip of his coffee.

"Let's just say that a massive terrorist organization wanted it."

Tony's brow knitted up, "Of course they did, it's a massive power source. How did you manage to keep them from getting it?"

"I had to call in some specialists." Fowler said plainly, Stark in no way needed to know about the Autobot's. That would be a disaster waiting to happen.

"Was it SHEILD?" Tony asked worriedly.

"No I did not call in SHEILD. It was someone else." He felt a buzz in his pocket, again, "Excuse me for a moment." He took his phone out and unlocked it, 'you message box is full.' He looked at who had sent all the messages, Ratchet. His eyes went wide, "What in the name of Sam Hill!?"

Tony peeked over Fowler's shoulder, "Dang, got enough missed calls?"

"Back off Stark." Fowler growled then called the number. He was instantly answered, "This is Special Agent William Fowler, why in the name of Sam Hill have you filled my missed message box?!"

"Oh, someone's ticked." Tony said with a laugh.

Fowler didn't say anything for a minute then, "One of the few time I actually leave and you 'bots need me. Alright I'm getting on it." Tony came back from the kitchen, having set down his coffee, "I have to go."

"Shocker, see you soon." Tony waved to Fowler.

"I hope not." Fowler grumbled.

Fowler was waiting for Steve when he got off the little prop plane, "You ready?"

"As ready as I've been since I woken up." Steve said getting in the car, "Where are we going?"

"Where do you want to go?" Fowler asked.

They began driving, "I don't know." They drove in silence for a bit when Steve saw something he recognized, "Hey, Dairy Queen. Didn't know those where still around. Want an ice cream?"

Fowler laughed and pulled in. "They've got a lot more than just ice cream now."

They walked in, the place was almost empty except a small group at a table. "Come on Jemina! You promised O.P. that you would tell!"

"Maybe we should go somewhere else." Fowler said, going white. If Miko found out who Steve was, it could be catastrophic.

Steve looked over at the group of kids, "Why? Do you know them?"

"Unfortunately. Get your order and we'll head to the hotel." Fowler kept trying to turn Steve's attention from the kids.

"Why? Are they bad kids?"

"Hu, no. Their great kids, it's just…" Steve gave him a blizzard.

"Well what's the problem then?"

"It's…nothing. Can we just go?" Fowler kept moving towards the door, "I really…"

"Hey, it's Fowler!" NO! Jack got up, as did everyone else.

"Hey kids, where are the uh…how are you?" This was getting complicated.

Miko was the first one to respond, "We're great, thanks for the bust. I got my history report written really fast after that. Who's your friend?"

Steve came over, "She's a chatter box isn't she?"

Fowler shook his head, "Terribly so."

"I know you." Jemina said suddenly.

"Of course you do, you see me every week." Fowler said trying to get their attention off of Steve. And if anyone was to recognize Steve in less than a minute it would be Jemina.

"No not you, him." She pointed to Steve.

Jayce looked at Steve closer, "It's him! It's him Jemina!" He was bouncing up and down. "It's Captain America!"

"It certainly looks like him doesn't it?" Jemina laughed.

Fowler was flabbergasted, they hadn't been in Jasper for one hour and someone had already recognized him. He moaned. "Captain who?" Miko asked.

"Some WWII hero I think." Jack answered.

"Yeah, he basically made comic books. I don't think he was ever really real though." Raf said.

"You guys are kidding me right?" Jemina asked, the guy was a completely made up, fictional character.

"Hi, I'm Steve Rogers." He held out his hand.

"You're funny, who are you really?" Jemina asked, it was probably just his actor or someone who looked like him.

Steve gave her a funny look, "I really am Steve Rogers. I've been frozen in ice for fifty years."

Jemina crossed her arms, "Sure. Am I supposed to believe that the Red Scull, Hydra, and Bucky being the Winter Soldier are real too?"

Both Steve and Fowler were taken back by what she said. The fact that she knew about the Red Skull, that was something they hadn't put in the comics, how the heck had she known?! "I-I oh." Then it stuck him, she was from another world, Captain America probably didn't exist where she was from, not literally. "Uh, Jemina?"

"Yeah?"

"He's real here." Fowler said as vaguely as he could.

"Oh," The realization kicked in, this was awkward. "Nice to meet you Steve."

"Likewise." He didn't understand what Fowler meant by 'he's real here,' but the girl seemed to finally believe who he was.

"So what are you doing out here?" Raf asked.

"Rehabilitation to put it shortly. He was pulled out about a month ago and woke up just last week. We figured Jasper would be a good place for him to get readjusted." Fowler explained, there really was nothing left to hide with Jemina around.

"We?" Jack asked.

"A friend of mine who's helping Steve." Fowler explained.

Fury probably, Jemina thought, "Why not go somewhere like Post Falls where you know nothing happens?"

"I was told that Jasper was the most boring place on Earth." Steve said.

Jemina looked at Jack, "That's what I was told too."

"Hey, how was I supposed to know you were going to get caught up in it?" He said defensively.

Steve looked at the group of kids, they were all hiding something as was Fowler, though that was to be expected from him but the kids? Something was wrong. "Watch it Jack or I'll make your hair stand on end for the next week." Jemina threatened.

"Then maybe you would tell me whatever it is!" Jack came back with, Fowler and Steve completely forgotten about.

"No!" Jemina crossed her arms defiantly, "I don't want to. Besides, I'll do it when everyone is together so I don't have to say it twice." Steve laughed, he hadn't felt so care free in years. Jemina may be the oldest but she sure could have a childish nature when she wanted to. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing, I just haven't seen a teenager act so childish in a good way in a long time."

"In a good way?!" Fowler almost yelled, "You obviously don't know the girl, she's caused me more trouble than…"

"Than what? Miko's more trouble as far as I'm concerned." Jemina said playfully.

"Yep, and you know it!" Miko agreed with a fist pump.

"Is there anything we can do to help you Fowler?" Raf asked.

"No, not really." Fowler said quickly. A honk was heard outside the building which made them all turn. To Steve it looked like a random collection of vehicles, to Fowler it looked like his way to escape the unending questions of the kids, and to the kids it was there guardians.

"Bee!" Jayce cried out happily.

"Go on I'll see you in a little bit." Jemina said to her brother who ran out of the DQ and into the backset of the yellow Camaro.

Steve's eyes went wide, a six year old was riding in a Camaro and he acted like he did it every day. "A good friend of yours?"

"Very good friend." The other's had already left, "Well, see ya. Oh, and Stark tower." She said quite suddenly and left.

Both were confused by what she meant, neither knowing that she meant the Tesseract would be on top of Stark's tower and it was her way of a hint should the events of the movie actually come to light. "She always like that?" Steve asked.

"Most of the time unfortunately." Fowler exasperated, "Well, we have a month to kill, what do you want to do?"

So, did you like it? Review and let me know what you think.

Also, there's a lot of time between now and the time the Avengers are formed and I would like to keep this update fairly regularly but I could really use some ideas. Cough-hint-cough.
