AU: When Karkat, Terezi, Tavros, and the other trolls begin playing Sgrub, they are transported to Earth. With the Avengers on the prowl after the recent Chutauri attack, it doesn't take long to discover the trolls.
(This will most likely remain a oneshot, unless requested to continue by poplar demand (or if the plot hole monster spits my plot back out for me).)
An AU I guess of Homestuck (since I feel too far back in the story to rely on canon( that i learned about through spoilers from friends) with out fucking things up)(Along with the whole fact that they are on Earth before they created it, but it's an AU I do what I want). I feel really guilty for writing this so early, as I've only just seen Jade enter the medium, but then again I don't know how early in the comic it is. But it's been crawling around in my brain for the past few days (especially since I couldn't find any Homestuck/Avengers crossovers), screaming at me to write it and present it to you all.
So excuse me if it isn't perfect, this is practically my first fanfic. Basically crack, making it up as I go, so feel free to suggest the next three trolls to show up on this fabulous adventure, I have three in mind but I am an indecisive little wriggler.
== Violently appearify on Earth
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT." Karkat sat up right, whatever just happened, it had thrust him against the ground. He couldn't remember what he could have done to have caused such a violent reaction, though had a suspicion it was of the work of the game. This was not a good way to start a game. Not a good way to play one either, since he was in the open outdoors.
This ground was very different from that of which he is normally familiar with, and he could feel things laying on him. All the items he had captchalogued where sitting around his feet, though he noticed that his sickle had flown quite a distance when everything was dropped. He couldn't find the cards that had been previously holding these items, which struck him as odd. He rubbed his ocular spheres and took in his surroundings.
Around him where the few things he had on him or in his cards, mostly random junk from his room (though he couldn't remember picking them up). Even his computer was there, but it had been smashed to bits on impact. Behind him was his recuperacoon, with the sopor slime spilling onto the ground. His sickle was lying at the foot of a boulder several yards away, moon beams reflecting straight into his eyes. The ground was lush grass, with small rocks scattered across the field. In the distance he could see the moonlight striking a pair of red glasses, on the face of a certain teal blood.
Her random items and furniture were scattered on the ground also, though she appeared to still have one captchalogue card. She sniffed and poked at it in her hands. After prodding at it for a few minutes, the card suddenly released her cane, making it shoot straight for Karkat. Reacting too slowly, the cane smacked him right between the eyes, making him flip backwards. He growled as he laid on his back, suddenly standing and chucking the cane as far as he could at the offender. His attempt at revenge backfired as it landed half-way.
Terezi laughed, leaving her random assortment of items on the ground and slipping the card into her pocket to retrieve her cane. Picking it up, she swung it lazily around as she strode over to Karkat. Stopping mid stride, she sniffed at the wind and immediately turned to the right. Confused by her sudden change in direction and lack of response to his questions, Karkat retrieved his sickle and followed her. They stopped, standing over a bull-horned troll by the name of Tavros.
"Um...what is going on?" He asked as Terezi helped him into his wheelchair after Karkat fetched it (as like their weapons, it had been thrown a fair distance). He looked around momentarily, but the barren landscape did not answer his question.
"I have no idea but I am going to pirouette OFF THE FUCKING HANDLE if we don't figure out soon." Karkat wanted something to rage at, but these two dumbasses were unresponsive. Terezi sniffed the air some more and licked the grass. After a few minutes of repeating, she smirked.
"Well, we aren't on Alternia anymore. Hehehe." She giggled. Karkat wanted to strangle her with how vague she was being. Tavros had a look mixed with worry and confusion.
"WHAT THE FLYING HOOFBEAST DOES THAT MEAN." Terezi whapped Karkat on the head with her cane before turning the other way and inhaling deeply through her mouth. She pointed the cane rigidly in front of her, toward the sky. Turning on her heel, she pointed at each of the boys in turn.
"Were aren't on Alternia anymore, exactly what I said dumbass. Whatever happened, the game shot us to this world, probably the other players too. Though they could have been shot to other worlds." She paused. "Hehehe, something is coming," She sniffed the air again. "Somethings. Probably the inhabitants." She adjusted her cane in the direction whatever they were, were coming from. As the soft sound of an engine and a trail of light pierced the night sky, Karkat pirouetted off the handle.
== Sense a disturbance in the force
It had only been three months since the attack, lead by the Asgardian known as Loki. New York had been repaired fairly well in that time(though there was still a long way to go), and the media was still finding new ways to churn out stories on the topic. Though more of the recent stories have been rather, 'diluted', and though the topic was indeed controversial and buzzing, it's media energy was waning. That is, when they weren't buzzing about the Avengers.
The Avengers also had very little to do though. The world still had crime, but everything interesting had gone suspiciously quiet otherwise.
That is until, a giant surge of energy (followed by a massive explosion) was detected/seen on a small, stray island connected to Hawaii. Luckily the island was uninhabited, judging by the size of the explosion, it would have been a hellish experience. The Avengers were immediately on the case, flying directly to a Hawaiian SHIELD base to meet up and debrief.
When Tony Stark walked into the meeting room, there was video footage playing on the wall, a camera shooting from one of the islands closer to the one that exploded. A monstrous burst of purple energy shot like lightning, the light too bright for the camera and blinding the onlookers. Shortly after, SHIELD agents swarmed the beach, having detected the energy surge just before the explosion happened. As he moved to sit next to Bruce, the video looped a few more times before Natasha suddenly sat up.
"Pause it right there, play it slowly." As the lightning materialized, three dark shapes appeared at it's origin. As it struck they were forcefully thrust at the ground, and something small could be seen hurled from the impact site. The rest of the party gave various expressions of surprise and confusion.
"People?" Asked Steve. Natasha nodded, everyone looked to Thor, who seemed to be deep in thought. After a minute Tony snapped a finger in front of the Asgardian's face, calling his attention.
"Friends of yours?" Inquired Bruce. Being the only alien/god in the room, he seemed the most likely to know anything about them. Thor shook his head.
"Nay, I know not of any creature that travels the realms in such a manner. We are to be wary if we are to seek them out." He advised. Fury dismissed the team, telling them to ready for the flight to retrieve the anomalies. Heading Thor's warning, the team suited up, fully equipped. Clint was loaded with tranqs for the 'Capture, not Kill' mission. Bruce was mostly coming along to get out, or if somehow things got completely out of hand and he could hulk-out. Though he hoped things wouldn't turn to that.
Everyone except Tony loaded into jets, as he wished to fly using the suit than the jet this time. It was close to midnight as they approached the island, and the Avengers hoped their first chance at a field day in the past few months wasn't to waste. Though according to the SHIELD agents keeping an eye on the island, nothing had entered or left since the explosion the other day.
Fury had the jets touch down briefly to let their land-locked Avengers down, while the jet carrying him and Agent Barton hovered over head. From here they could see the three unidentified creatures in the middle of the field, facing the direction of the oncoming Avengers. One was swinging around a small curved object around in wild, exaggerated movements, pointing it occasionally at it's companions. Though they couldn't identify the items from this distance, piles of things sat at various points on the field.
Clint loaded his bow as Tony, Steve and Natasha approached, Thor and Banner were lagging behind to watch from a distance to see how things played out, as Banner wasn't really there for battle anyway, and Thor didn't want to threaten what could be a peaceful meeting with his intimidating stature and Asgardian status.
Tony stepped out of the air a few yards from the closest one of the bunch. He looked them over with curiosity, they had gray skin, black hair, and warmly colored horns. This particular one had sharp red glasses and short, sleek, pointed horns, he couldn't tell if it was a trick of the light, but it's eyes appeared to be full red too. Immediately it lunged forward, making the one behind it jump forward in alarm to pull it away from him. Red was sniffing wildly in Tony's direction and practically drooling, but the other, one with short round horns; muttered something angrily at it and pushed it towards the third creature with them. It pointed at Tony with what looked to be a sickle, while muttering something to itself as it looked to the pointed-horned one. Tony heard Bruce and Steve make a sort of 'oh' as they saw the third creature.
It had large bull-like horns, colored like the other two, and a short mohawk, but was sitting in a wheel chair, making the two men wonder if the bull-horned one was hurt, or had been hurt. Though Bull was obviously concerned about the situation, it seemed more at ease than it's companions, even waving politely at the group. Tony's attention was grabbed by light reflecting off a sickle in the round-horned one's hand, and noticing the red and white cane in Red's hand. He saw piles of random objects sitting at two different locations, not far from where they currently where, as well as a small pile of things a few feet away from the wheel chair.
The two standing aliens were arguing in loud whispers, with Bull trying to input it's say every now and then. Candy Corn's voice suddenly escalated, clearly angry with whatever they were talking about.
"-FUCKING PIROUETTE OFF THE HANDLE RIGHT NOW." He yelled, before Red punched him hard enough to knock him to the ground, and stay there unconscious. It leaned down, wiping some blood off his nose and smelling it. Delighted, Red licked it and turned towards the Avengers with a mischievousness grin. With it's leash unconscious, Red leapt toward Tony. Bull tried to stop Red, but was stuck in the chair and the wheels were caught in the dirt. Red inhaled Tony's suit deeply, shuttering in delight. Everyone tensed when Red licked the suit.
Tony caught Red's voice as she muttered to herself, "Dark cherry red and golden honey." She said, dancing around the suit of armor. He caught glances of sharp teeth as she whisked around him, trying to lick and smell every bit. Natasha and Banner weren't sure what to make of it, though they were amused by Tony's confusion as the strange creature danced circles around him.
"Okay, this is taking far too long. We've already got one down, one immobile, just shoot it, Barton." With Fury's word, Agent Barton shot off a tranq, hitting the alien licking Tony's suit right in the neck. Red pulled it from her neck, staggering back. She licked it, suddenly tossing it away and making a loud 'bluh' as she tried to wipe away the taste. She giggled faintly as she closed her eyes, slurring something about her companion in the wheelchair before falling against Iron Man.
Bull raised it's hands in surrender, only to be gently lifted up by Steve, and Bruce carry it's wheelchair back to the helicopter. Tony had Red slung over his shoulder and Thor had Candy Corn. When Candy Corn was set down, Bruce began placing bandages carefully onto his nose, which had clearly been broken by the punch. Bruce did his best to wash the alien's face and his own hands of the red blood that had been gushing from his nostrils.
Bull rubbed it's eyes and faced the floor as they walked into the jet, as the lights were too bright for it's eyes. Bruce noticed, and when Bull was strapped into a seat he moved in front of it. Bright orange eyes squinted at him, startling him slightly. Bruce carefully opened the alien's eyes slowly, examining them; when it let him, he briefly hovered a flashlight in front of it's eyes, making Bull stifle a shriek as the light burned it's eyes. Bruce immediately stepped away at the noise, apologizing, though unsure of whether Bull actually understood him.
"T-that hurt! W-what was th-that for?" His eyes watered as he rubbed them, leaving orange stains on his face. The present Avengers looked down at him, obviously surprised that he spoke English.
== Be the bull-horned one
He had been thrust into this world as he started the game. He had watched both his friends knock each other unconscious one way or the other, then watched them both get carried into a jet. He was carried too, as his legs could not function because of a certain flarp incident. The natives, he guessed, were creatures not unlike them in bone structure, that he could see. Other than the blatant lack of horns, their fair skin, different colored hair(that appeared natural), and white eyes (instead of orange), they seemed very similar.
The one carrying him had smiled warmly at him when it picked him up. It had an outrageous outfit of red and blue, and was very strong and much larger than Tavros over all, with the exception of his horns. That seemed to be the most difficult for the creature, as all his weight was lopsided, making the native have to actually hold his head instead of his back because of how heavy his horns were.
Tavros kept his gaze down as they entered the jet, the lights being too bright for his nocturnal eyes. He was gently sat down and strapped into a seat. One of the natives, in a purple shirt crouched down to eye level, curious as to why he was squinting in the lights. Before he knew it, it had flashed a bright light in front of his eyes, and he wondered for a moment if this is what it felt like to go blind.
"I'm sorry." The native apologized, backing away from Tavros. When his vision faded back, he glared the best he could at the man before looking down again and rubbing his eyes.
"T-that hurt! W-what was th-that for?" They all seemed taken aback at his words, though now that he thought about it, it was curious that they spoke Alternian too. Not wanting to make anything overly complex, he continued to rub his eyes as they watered, staining the area around his eyes and his fists orange. The armored one mumbled something and the lights dimmed enough for him to look up, but still very bright, Tavros looked up from his hands.
"I was just...checking your eyes, I didn't mean to hurt you." The offender looked sincere as he apologized, making Tavros smile. He seemed mildly curious when he saw Tavros' teeth through the smile. He handed Tavros a wet cloth to clean his face and hands.
"Oh, w-well...Okay th-then. I-it's um, fine..." He looked at his friends, strapped in and unconscious a seat over to the right, as if they were any closer he would be hitting Karkat with his massive horns. Terezi's mouth was open and drooling slightly, her glasses askew but still on her face. Karkat was closer to him, and seemed to be waking up, groaning faintly as he reached up weakly to touch his nose, which had been covered in bandages and was oozing a vibrant red.
"Tavros..." He said quietly, drawing the attention of everyone but the pilots. "Tavros, I think- I think Terezi broke my nose. Why...why the elegant feathery fuck would she do that?" He asked dreamily. He hadn't opened his eyes, but was still feeling his nose cautiously. Tavros saw the red and blue dressed creature cringe at 'fuck'. Everyone else smiled to some degree at his drawn out question, a calmer manner than Karkat normally speaks.
"Um..Y-you t-told her that you w-were still t-team leader and um had t-to listen to you." The red haired one raised a brow at 'team leader'.
"I... I feel high as a kite right now, did Gamzee drop by or something...? Don't tell me I actually ate something he tried to give me...I hope it wasn't that Faygo shit." The red haired one and the one that had been thoroughly licked by Terezi snickered at Karkat's observation. That made him snap open his eyes, dazed by the light, and probably whatever drugs he had been given, he shut them again. "WHY IS IT SO FUCKING BRIGHT IN HERE?" He flailed in his seat, trying to get out, while shouting nonsense about the obvious situation the three trolls were in.
"Um, K-K-Karkat, c-calm down or-" The red haired one had stood up and stabbed him in the leg with what looked like a pen. Karkat screeched, but suddenly calmed, rolling his head over to look at Tavros, just as he too was stabbed. Tavros looked at the attacker, again the red haired one. She was remorseless as she sat back down. Tavros looked to the others, who seemed to have mixed feelings about drugging the obviously harmless one of the bunch.
"Orders from Mom." Said the man in armor, as if to answer him. Tavros weakly waved his arm, in a way that was meant to mean 'it's fine'. Though he wasn't certain how fine it actually was.
"Listen t-to your lusus." He mumbled getting a confused look from the man. Tavros looked over to Karkat, who was still staring at him. As both their eyes started to feel heavy, Karkat whispered.
"We are screwed harder than the hootbeasts can fly."
