Hello, 2216 here.

For those of you who know me and my stories, I have something new for you. A Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow fanfiction. This is one of two fanfictions I have planned for this cartoon film.

Originally, I had not planned to publish this until I had completed my favorite story, Jurassic Avengers, and had made significant progress on my other two stories I am currently focusing on. But, since I have already written enough of this story, I thought I would get started with the first few chapters, take a break to work on my other stories, then return this one.

As the title and story summary suggest, this story is about the Next Thunderbolts, the children of the Thunderbolts who have been raised to be true heroes, unlike their parents. Now, the roster I chose for the Thunderbolts is very different, and includes several villains that weren't in the Thunderbolts in the comics. Also, not all of the Thunderbolts from the story told to the children will have children.

Well, that's enough for now. Let us begin.

Chapter 1- The Story

In her crib, little 6 month old Lillian giggled and cooed. A pair of strong but gentle hands picked her up and put her on their owner's shoulder.

"Can we hear it again?" asked a 6 year old Gunther, dressed in his purple pajamas. "Please? Tell us the story more, please?" pleaded a 5 year old Emily, wearing a black T-shirt and white sweats, holding onto a 3 year old Nathaniel, who wore tan pajama pants and a T-shirt with dark and light green stripes.

"Again," repeated a 4 year old Derek, who wore his emerald green pajamas. "Yes. Tell us again," asked a 5 year old Eddie, wearing black pants and a gold and black striped shirt. Next to him, a 3 year old Adam clapped and smiled, dressed in his pure black pajamas.

From his bed, 8 year old Ivan, wearing his green T-shirt and silver pants, smiled and said, "Yeah, come on."

The man holding little Lillian against his shoulder chuckled and patted Lillian's back. "Okay. Just one more time, and then it's time for all of you to go to bed."

"And there came a day unlike any other, when the Earth's mightiest heroes were united against a common threat. On that day, the Avengers were born. Every threat they faced, they vanquished.

"Over time, several of the Avenger' former foes banded together. Intending to bring down the Avengers and accomplish their own personal goals. However, they began to doubt their motives. After some time, they chose to renounce their old ways. The swordsman, the monster, the goblin, the beast, the ninja, the thief, the insect, and the soldier.

"On that day, the Thunderbolts were born. They labored as they would, keeping their own interests in mind, but always remembering the safety of humanity.

"Then came the day when they faced the sorcerer, and were defeated. Their confidence lost, the Thunderbolts dissolved, as the Avengers brought peace to the world.

"With the world at peace, the Thunderbolts chose new lives. They found love, and settled into simpler lives. And, one by one, the children of the Thunderbolts came to be. Children who their parents hoped would grow to be true heroes, and even stronger than they had been.

"But in time, evil returned. An evil called Ultron. Ultron wanted nothing less than total dominion over the world. The Avengers fought against it, but fell. Ultron destroyed all heroes who stood against him.

"Finally, the Thunderbolts were the last line of defense against Ultron. Allying themselves with the sorcerer, they made a final attempt to stop Ultron. Sadly, their defeat was inevitable.

"But before they fell, the Thunderbolts hid their children in a far away place, where they would grow up safe from Ultron's rule."

By now, the children was asleep, and the light was off. The old man smiled from the doorway as he finished his story. "Because the Thunderbolts knew if their children were alive, then hope would live on."

With that, he closed the door to the children's room. He walked down the hall to his room, but stopped before entering. He looked up at the ceiling. In his mind, he said, Wherever you are Stark, I hope you've got your kids. When your kids and mine unite, Ultron will have good reason to fear.

Then he opened the door and walked into his room. Right before the door shut, there was a small flash of silver.

I'm going to end right there.

I hope this chapter worked. Hopefully, you guys will like the rest of the story.

I will post the next chapter very soon. Maybe today.

As for the roster, I hope I made it a little hard to tell who some of my Thunderbolts are. I think one is very obvious, based on his nickname. Also, I will tell you that the monster is Red Hulk, and he is dead. Also, he is the only one who doesn't have a kid in the Next Thunderbolts.

Well that's it. Review and tell me who you think my Thunderbolts are.

Until next time.
