I don't own this story, which was adopted from Redrougue17 or The Next Avengers, who are owned by Marvel.

I adopted this story from Redrogue17, but this first chapter is mostly edits. I changed Raven's name to Aya and aded a new OC. Enjoy!

"Can we hear it again, please?" Asked 5 year old James from his place on the top bunk, his red hair still wet from the shower and his sapphire blue eyes filled with wonder. His 2 year old sister Tanya sat in the crook of his arm, already half asleep. Her red hair was tied up in two small ponytails with black scrunchies.

"More! Tell us the story more, please!" Begged the other 5 year old, Torunn, from her spot next to him. Her blonde hair was held partially in a ponytail beside her face by a red scrunchy and her sky blue eyes were pleading.

On the bunk below 3 year olds Azari and Liz leaned forward in excitement. Azari's golden eyes glowed in contrast to his dark skin, while Liz was his opposite with her light brown hair, brown eyes, and pale skin. 4 year old Aya hung upside down next to them, her long black hair almost touching the floor and her golden eyes in line with her younger siblings.

"Ok! But then it's off to bed!" Replied Tony, the man formerly called Iron Man, from his place with 9 month old Pym in his arms. He took a deep breath and began his story. "And then came a day unlike any other, when earth's mightiest heroes were united against a common threat. The Soldier, the God, the Knight, the Spy, the Giant, the King, the Pixie, the Ghost, the Archer, the Beast, and the Spider. To fight the battles that no single hero that day, they became the Avengers! Time traveling conquerors, alien invaders, and masters of evil, the Avengers vanquished them all! And finally, when the world was at peace, the heroes built lives of their own.

"The Soldier and Spy fell in love, as did the Giant and Pixie. The King found his Queen, and the Beast, his mate. The Spider made his web, and the thunder-God returned to his kingdom, far away from the world of men. And one by one, the children of the Avengers came to be. Children who would, one day, become a new generation of heroes. But in time, evil returned. An evil called Ultron. Ultron wanted nothing less than total dominion over the world, but the Avengers stood in its way. Sadly, their defeat was inevitable. But before they fell, the Avengers hid their children in a place faraway where they would grow up safe from Ultron's grasp. Because the Avengers knew that as long as the children were alive, there was hope. Hope for the future."

He whispered the last part to the unconscious forms of the children. James was sprawled out on his bunk with Torunn draped across him like a blanket. Tanya had fallen asleep long ago, burrowing into the space between James's arm and body. Liz had fallen to the floor, face first and still slept soundly, Azari leaned on Aya's stomach like a pillow. Pym cuddled with his stuffed ladybug and he snored softly.

He gave them a last smile before switching off the light and closing the door.
