AN: Hi! This is something I wrote ages ago and posted on my quotev for an awesomesauce admin on and awesomesauce multi-fnadom facebook page. So, I'm just moving it here, although it can still be found on my quotev :)

"It has to be Loki," Natasha was saying, "I mean; he's the only evil Asgardian out there, and, how many other planets have inhabitants that we know of?"

"No one doubts that Loki is a possible cause, we just have to rule out all other possibilities Natasha," Clint replied, "You know that."

"How is talking to this UNIT place going to help us in our cause anyway," Tony complained, "And where the hell is Thor! Gosh, that stupid-"

"Stupid what," said a voice from behind Tony.

Tony recognised the voice instantly as Thor's, he turned slowly to face him, placing on the best innocent smile he could muster, "Why hello there, I was just saying how your my best friend in the-"

"Tony! Shut up! You are never going to convince anyone of that!" Natasha yelled," Thor," she continued calmly, "How is your brother these days, been getting up to anything unusual?"

"Loki is not behind this attack, I don't know who is, but it is not Loki," Thor replied, taking a seat in front of the large screen set up before them. They were sitting in a large room in Stark industries, preparing for a meeting with UNIT to discuss the threat of the latest attack on the Earth; they claimed to have more information.

"Does Loki know who is behind it, I'm sure that he must know of all kinds of plans for invasions," Bruce asked.

"If he did, he wouldn't tell us, you know him well enough to know that," Thor replied seriously.

"Hey Cap!" Tony yelled, turning to face the back of the room," You're in charge, what do you think, you have been awfully quiet."

"I've just been looking through these documents, you know, the ones we were all given, since the extra-terrestrial activity began, there has been an increased number in disappearances, it can't just be a coincidence can it. It must have something to do with whatever is hanging around," Steve said seriously, walking to the front of the room and facing the team.

"I hate to think what is happening to those people…" Bruce said picking up his copy and studying them closely.

"Wait," Tony said, I recognise that name, Howard Stark, that's my dad's name! That's my dad! My dad died in 1991!

"Probably just a coincidence," Natasha said reassuringly, "things like that happen all the time."

"No, it's my dad alright, I mean look at the picture, it's the spitting image him, except…he's younger…he looks about…twelve…" Tony said examining the picture attached to one of the pages.

"Tony, you must be seeing things-"Clint began.

"I'm not seeing things! I swear! I know what my dad looks like and that is-"

"Hello, is this the Avengers?" said a male voice from the screen, interrupting Tony.

"No, we're the Super Friends," Tony replied sarcastically, turning to face the old man on the screen, "Of course we are the Avengers."

"I'm sorry, I just had to check, it's part of the job. Anyway, my name is Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart; I'm the person who has been contacting you from UNIT."

"I was expecting someone younger…" Natasha said inquisitively, "Why did they assign you to this mission, from my understanding, UNIT has lots of competent young recruits."

"Well, technically they did not assign me; I assigned myself, with reason of course."

"And what reason would that be?" Steve inquired.

"Can I explain what is going on first? Good," he continued without waiting for a reply, "Okay, now, where to begin…"
"You could start by telling us who's behind all this," Tony said impatiently.

"Yes, that's a good idea, well, that would be the Weeping Angels, commonly known for their use of the form of Angel statues, but, they can in fact be any statue. These Weeping Angels have been on Earth for centuries, but, they have always been controlled. You know all those times when someone just vanishes, without a trace? That is the doing of the Weeping Angels. Because, you see, these are both the kindest and the cruellest alien life-form we have encountered. As soon as you are touched by one of these Angels, they send you back in time, meaning that you still get to live out your life, but, you will be dead to all those in the present day." Alistair explained.

"So that explains the increase in disappearances, the Angels have gotten out of control and are sending people back," Steve stated.

"So, you mean, my Dad was from the future? Strange," Tony said, slightly confused.

"What I don't understand Alistair is how does this work?" Bruce asked, "I mean, if they are statues, how are they doing all of these things?"

"That is the clever part," Alistair replied, nodding slightly, "The Angels take the form of statues, but, as soon as you blink or look away, as soon as nobody is looking, they move. Clever defence technique, isn't it?"

"Yes, very clever," Brue replied astounded.

"So, what do they look like, I mean, the Angels, so that we know for sure if what we are seeing is them?" Clint asked.

"That is another clever thing about them. The image of an angel shall become an angel," Alistair said.

"So you mean, if there is a picture of one of these angels, it becomes an angel, "Thor asked, "An actual angel that could send you back?

"Yes."

Silence fell in the room as the Avengers pondered what had just been said.

"I still don't understand why you assigned yourself this mission; do you have experience with the angels?" Natasha asked, still confused.

"No, but I have experience with the man we are calling in, his name is-"the connection went dead.

"Tony get him back!" Natasha yelled.

"I can't!" replied Tony, annoyed as he fiddled with the controls.

"You mean you can't even work the thing that you made!" She yelled.

The two of them continued arguing. Steve sighed, "I think I need a walk," he said, leaving the room. Nobody noticed he was gone.
