Why does that always happen to us?

The Avengers and the Legends meet each other.

This happens when I watch three seasons of Legends of Tomorrow *rolls eyes.

I wanted to try something new and don't know yet where this story will lead or when the next update is. Tell me how you find it.

For 'Avengers' = Post Avengers 2012

Coulson survived and is the new handler of the Avengers, Thor is back from Asgard and Hydra never infiltrated SHIELD, so Sitwell is a good guy.

For 'Legends of Tomorrow Leonard' Snart didn't die, he is my favourite character. This story sets in Season 3 before Earth X.

Chapter 1

The legends were in the time stream and waited for the next appearance of a time-anachronism as Gideon spoke, "Captain, there is a weird disturbance in the time stream, we will get hit in 5 seconds."

Routinely the team braced themselves against the impact and hold on to something and not a second too late. The strong impact throw the Waverider out of the time stream in the orbit of Earth.

Sara tried to control the crash with the help of Gideon, together they managed a secure landing on earth.

"Can't just one week go by where we don't crash our ship?" asked Mick bored.

"Where or when are we, Gideon?" asked Sara and ignored Mick with long practice.

"I'm sorry, Captain but I can't answer your questions. We are on Earth in the late year 2012 but as far as I can say, it is not our earth. I connected with the internet and there are recent events described like an invasion of aliens in New York and a hero group called the Avengers which fended the aliens off and defeated them." Gideon sounded baffled.

"Can it be a time deviation?" asked Martin.

"No, there are no signs for it. I think we are on a parallel earth with another history."

"So it is like with Supergirl's earth?" asked Nate excited.

"So it seems. We are on the American Continent near New York." Gideon hesitated. "Oh my, we have caught attention through our crash. An organisation called SHIELD attempts to get in contact with me."

"Can you go in stealth-modus?" asked Sara.

"No, it was damaged by the crash-landing as was the time machine. Unfortunately we need parts for the repair that we have not available on the ship."

"So we will need help", replied Sara resigned.

"Yes, Captain."

"Then let's hope that this SHIELD is friendly minded to people from other universes", said Leonard dispassionately and he did not look like he believed it.

"Let's hope", agreed Sara. "Put them on, Gideon."

A composed middle-aged man with receding hairline and calm eyes appeared. "I'm Agent Coulson of SHIELD. Who are you and what do you want?"

"I am Captain Sara Lance of the time ship Waverider. My team and I were in the time stream as a disturbance catapulted us out of it and on your earth", answered Sara calmly. She had decided to go with the truth because she liked the eyes of Agent Coulson.

"You said 'your earth'?" asked Agent Coulson.

Sara was impressed, only a light widening of the eyes was his reaction to her explanation. "Yes, we come from another earth. The AI of my ship connected with your internet and found historic events, which did not happen on our earth.

We call ourselves Legends; we watch over the timeline or hunt down time pirates who change events for their own gain." Sara shrugged.

"Sounds like fun."

"It can be but sometimes this life gets complicated", explained Sara.

Agent Coulson's eyes crinkled. "Don't I know it? How is your crew?"

"They are ok but the same can't be said about my ship. We need help with a few parts."

"Can we send two of our agents on your ship so that they can make an assessment of you and your crew? These agents have experience with first contact." Agent Coulson looked fierce for one moment. "I assume you know what I talk about?"

"Yes, Gideon told me about the invasion which you fended off. Are your agents part of the Avengers?"

"They are", answered Coulson proudly. Sara recognized it as a personal feeling. "Agents Natasha Romanov and Clint Barton are two of our best agents." Coulson hesitated shortly. "They are still a little bit jumpy especially Agent Barton."

"I understand", replied Sara, she appreciated the warning then that was it. "Will they be armed?"

Coulson sighed. "Honestly, yes, I can forbid that they are carrying weapons but it will not make a difference for you. Both agents are very good in acquiring or making weapons out of objects, which were never intended with this purpose in mind."

"So it is better that they carry their usual weapons and we can so demonstrate our good intentions", summed Sara up.

Agent Coulson smiled and the smile was to see in his eyes too. "In a nutshell, yes. And I wouldn't call their weapons usual." The screen went dark.
