When the presence meets their future.

Avengers

Chapter 2: TEN YEARS LATER

The Avengers felt as if they were fast forward until they came to a stop, they found themselves in a forest very beautiful not a danger in sight that was when a tiny boy, the size of two inches in height, zapping through the thick forestry, his body illuminated with Neon-Green glow. Not even noticing two amber eyes peering through the bushes.

"If that was me, I would scan for enemies around me" said Tony

"Hey the boy is just a kid cut him some slack will ya!" Steve said knowing how it felt to be the little guy who people thought was not able to do anything for others. The others agreed with Steve not all the time but still did on this one.

But just as the boy was going to make it around the other tree to the clearing, a small bolt of electricity knocked him into the clearing he was heading for. The boy rubbed his head and was about to fly away when two hands gloves in Black-Violet colored trapped him within them.

When he opened them, the young boy could be seen; his arms were folded and tapped his foot in annoyance. "Tag, Pym" the boy in gloves said smugly.

"No fair, Azari!" Pym accused as he reverted to his normal size of a Ten year boy; which confused the Avengers to see someone change in size like that, in mere seconds well come to think of it they had a Hulk who can change too. Azari the African boy had to be at less Thirteen years and young Pym was ten so both had changed but not much because Azari's hair was the same just his out fit all the same color as his gloves but had a silver belt and cool tattoos on his shoulders.

Pym had not changed much either his hair the same when they saw him as a baby but with a strange outfit made of yellow and black similar to a Bee or wasp with wings on his back it was quite cute to be honest. "No fair?" Azari said rising an eyebrow "weren't you the one who said no powers then shrunk and flew off?"

"Yeah well, I meant no powers for you!" Pym rubbed the back of his head before he pointed to the African boy.

"Of course you did," Azari said soothingly, though not without an underlying tone of sarcasm which the younger boy caught "Guess what Pym? You're it." And with that, the older boy back flipped into a tree before leaping away though the tropical foliage.

"Hey!" Pym cried out "Not so fast! And no powers!" the younger boy could only stare after the older African boy before giving a huff. The shrunk and flew after Azari using the wasp-like wings he grew anytime he shrunk. This amused the Avengers to see this kind of tag not even Steve and friend did this kind of thing.

Little did two unknown; another was watching them from cameras he situated in that area. The Avengers too felt as if someone was watching them even when they knew no one could see them it still felt weird "any of you guys feel as if someone is tracking or watching our movements" Natasha asked first feeling out of line for the first time they got here "not just you Tash. Us too" Clint replied still having this feeling something big was going to happen even Thor could feel this feeling.

"DRAKOSTA, adjust environmental controls in the hanger plus two thermos," ordered a now older Tony from before but yet to be seen by the Avengers "The radar in Ray-7 needs adjusting and lets get lunch started, shall we?"

"Commands in progress" responded the computer

Again outside by a fountain;

The Avengers found themselves in the middle of what looked like a memorial sight for fallen heroes one in which a young girl with long blond hair blowing in the wind and a Asgardians weapon behind her like it did for Thor with his Hammer which he had in his hand in the this whole fiasco. which she was speaking too; "I dreamt of Asgard again Father and how the Bifrost was reaching out too me, I know this to be real father and hope that you will come back and get your daughter back;" just then Pym zoomed in, seemly unnoticed by the girl, he reverted back to his normal size and tiptoed to the sword stuck in the ground.

Thor knew like many Asgardians that no one but it's owner could pull it out or handle it's power so to be fair he pitted the young boy for even trying to pull out the Sword with all his might but the girl did notice and was no amused by him at all neither was Thor when he was on Earth learning of this the hard way.

Torrun looked much different then when they last saw her, her hair was thicker, longer and lighter. Her outfit was just like an Asgardian warrior women wore and yellow boots with silver wrist bands the same color as her out fit but parts were blue most likely to show her power in her. "And father lastly I beseech thee give me the power to smite Pym once and for all" she said as she got up lifting her hand up which the Sword came to her like Thor's Hammer.

"Uh…Thor is that what she said a good thing?" Tony asked

"it is to our enemies either a threat or death, we choose which would be fitting" Thor answered with a stern tone but was not happy why he left his only daughter to live here on earth for so long and only be able to speak to him by that statue.

"Either way that boy is dead" Bruce said worried and he could see Steve's face at Thor's words then at the girl "what?!" the Pixy-boy said shouted in surprise and shrinking then flew away, but when she got the sword in her hand and with a grunt, she hurled the sword towards the fleeing Pym. Fortunately for the young boy, the weapon missed its intended target and imbedded itself into the rock behind him.

"That's not how tag works, Torrun" Azari said from his perch on top of the rock that now had Torrun's sword in it, "you're suppose to run from Pym not attack us" as Azari watched the younger boy hid behind him.

"That's a human rule, immoral Asgardian warrior runs from no one. You Pym and James will taste my swords wrath!" Torrun said well pointing her finger at them which Azari was not amused and just made Pym even more scared by her words.

"Boy, she does take the whole Asgardian thing a little too far" Natasha said

"I believe, she has much to learn about Asgardian people and warriors such as I" Thor said even if inwardly he might be proud of how much of who she is or where she came from show well but way too much pride and it kinda reminded him of when he was sent to earth for punishment only to learn the value of human life from Jane which he is forever great full for.

"Am I, the only one who noticed she said three names and there are only two we've seen?" Clint asked

"Yeah, who is this James anyhow?" Steve asked they thought if they kept watch "hey! Where's James?" Torrun asked manly to herself but soon they found themselves in what looked like a bedroom a messy bedroom worse then Tony's work shop, cloths hanging everywhere, books and other things on the bed too with someone snoring under it and by the sound he was making he was dead asleep to not notice it was day time.

Suddenly a pair of feet comes popping out by the window, the Avengers thought this was amusing sight since when they ate at that place Tony suggested after the battle with the Aliens; however the three did not think the same thing Torrun looked angry, Azari was annoyed and Pym was still wondering how long he could sleep before they woke him up.

"Does he get the Sword, the Spark or the Sting today" Torrun asked them after hearing another grunt "I get it, it's like a morning wake up call for him" Tony said

"Glad I'm not him cause if it were me the other guy would come out" Bruce said

"No kidding, we saw how you and Thor almost tore the ship apart" Natasha said flatly seemly to insult them yet lay the fact's out for them.

"It's his Royal highness's turn" Pym said with a smirk and pointed straight at Azari; but only got from Azari was "I hate you Pym." Both Torrun and Pym smiled as the African boy walked over to the bed and his tattoo's light up blue and used his index finger to cause a spark at one of the boy's feet. Which in returned was a scream and Azari went flying out the hut and in a large puddle of mud, ok now the Avengers could say that was a bit too much of a wake up call.

But hell did they get a shock when a boy with a shield like Steve's well not the same as Steve's but still walked out ruffling his hair then pressed a button to hid the shield again much to their amazement with Torrun and Pym who flew out his hut looked down at Azari in the mud. Torrun leaned on the wall of his hut while Pym was zooming around "if you Dorks are all done bothering me now, I'm going back to bed" the boy said much to their surprise he really was if Pym had not zoomed in his face "but you missing the game" like it was some big thing before zooming to Azari who was wiping the mud off and Pym now back to normal next to him.

"What is your problem James?" Azari asked all irritated "you've been sleeping all day, missing training, blowing off your chores and generally being a real pain" the Avengers couldn't help but believe these kids had to train like for missions as the Avengers did but they could see on the boy named James, [who they did ask earlier was] show no interest in Azari's words or insult who just gain himself a whole lot of back talk.

"Who cares?" James said while walking back to his room "what am I going to miss Laundry day? So what if we don't do the chores or train?" he back-flipped over the railing, and landed behind Azari and Pym. "For what? Nothing gonna happen in this place. You can act like a King [to Azari] Pym can play superhero and Torrun can live in a fantasy land saying 'aye' and 'fairly' till she's blue in the face. What's the point?" James said in a way to hurt and insult his friends not something Steve would do not at all.

"That kid has some series anger issues, man that kid is a pain" Clint said not even noticing Steve's face of wonder if this is his kid then what happened to make him so angry. "You know as much as it kills me to say this but since we've been here the boy has a point" Brace pointed out and it was true with each word James used seemed to hit them hard.

"The point is to not be such a JERK!" Torrun shouted back which James must have been really stupid or brave to say what he said next "oh right sorry, there's no hope for us because our parents are dead, your dad just abounded you so there's still hope" James said in a mocking-sympathetically tone now even Thor felt his anger toward James for being as Torrun put it 'Jerk' not that the others could say anything to it but how they found out that like the story their parents did die.

Torrun granted at the hurt and anger coming out and going to use it on James; which is what she did when she jumped over the railing pulling out her sword and luckily for James he brought his shield up as the sword clashed against this shield both weapons and bearers pushed against each other while Pym and Azari watched when Pym spoke "do you think Asgardians say 'Jerk'?" Pym asked Azari who just shrug in reply to his question but both so they went back watching the fight.

"Your magic sword doesn't scare me Torrun." James said fearlessly and annoyed with the girl he grew up with "then allow me to put the fear in to thee" Torrun said back just as annoyed.

"You think they were rivals by the way they talk and treat each other" Brace said

"nah, just family issues that's all" Tony replied back watching the two battle one another even Thor knew that everyone moral or immortal would fear a weapon from Asgard yet this boy seemed like he could handle worse. "I think someone needs to step in because this has gone far enough for my taste" Steve said as much as the rest had their own opinions he was right.

"that enough" came a voice when both children stop fighting one another to see the same man who told the story but now was older with white hair and in a red long sleeve top and black jeans, brown shoes plus he had a beard and a mustache "Tony! I was just about to tell them to break it up…" Azari said in panic "wait! You mean to say that's Tony Stark, the oh so famous Iron Man ha" Clint said the Avengers just laughed as Tony only felt insulted to see his friends laugh at what he will be like when he was older but also to see he was these children's Guardian. Not something Tony pictured his life would be from play-boy to father figure no way was that Tony.

"come on Tony, at least you can see yourself and looking out for these kids" Steve trying to cheer him up as much as possible but not as easily seeing as they were not always on good terms with each other but Tony gave Steve a smile to thank him for some support much to the other Avengers amazement.

"James, Torrun, go to your bungalows and cool off" Tony address to them which both huffed then walked away Torrun seemed upset at this but James thought it was better then standing around his sublimes "heh, heh" Pym laughed but was cut short by Tony again "you and Azari too Pym" this dampened his spirit "aw" he said as he shrunk back to his pixie-size form with Azari following.

"James, wait," Tony called after the boy who stopped half way up to his hut with his back to Tony "I know you feel trapped with just the five of us, but try not to take it out on your brothers and sister. If you want to be mad at someone be mad at me" Tony tried to tell the boy who they could see was upset yet very emotional it was something most of the Avengers learned by their fault like Thor, Steve, Tony, Banner, Clint and well Natasha [ok so they all felt some what anger at themselves in their pasts, but still this kid had to learn to control his anger]

"I'll apologize to them later" James said still not looking at Tony which Tony took this moment to speak about something that stung the kid in a way "your father was not good at doing nothing either. James eyes looked like he was about to cry but stayed strong so no one saw how much pain he was in but the Avengers saw and felt bad too.

"so I'm going to take a guess and that Cap here is his father and Natasha was his mother which shows the anger part" Tony said he was good at that when thing were to be figured out; something he got from his dad Steve knew this every well too.

"Come to think about it Steve did act without order when he found weapons from his time and even now Steve does not like doing nothing strange huh?" Banner said

"Well, someone has to do something about thing then sitting around doing nothing" Steve said in defense "silence I wish to hear what is to happen here!" Thor said so they did and kept watch but Steve still felt a tad hurt for the boy who is suppose to be his son.

"you know you can always came and talk to me James" Tony tried again know how much James wanted his dad with him, how much he looked up to him "but it's not the same is it, like you say [as James looked over his shoulder trying hard not to show the hurt] you're not my dad" James said heading back to his room while to only looked down sighing at his useless attempt to help this did not go unnoticed by the Avenger who watched this problem start to show why he was so mad. Even so this hurt Steve to see his son need him more then ever and Natasha watched as her so called future son with Steve which never in her life would believe was so lonely.

Suddenly alarms went off and red lights appeared the four children where confused and scared as Tony acted out of his character "Tony?" Torrun flew towards him and James with Azari and tiny Pym in Pixie form "what's happening? What are all these lights? And that noise?" Pym asked confused as the others.

"everyone, into James bungalow until I give the all clear" Tony said to the Teens who looked at him confused "NOW" but still went in the hut which the Avenger found themselves stand by James watching Tony run off but James had this look on his face saying 'this is my fault or what is going on Tony?' before he closed the door with them falling inside his room once more.

"Is it just me or does something seem off about this picture?" Clint asked

"If I say that he is right, then I might be feeling like I am in the picture" Banner said who found the group was starting feel like something terrible was about to happen and might change the children's lives.
