Here's the 2nd chapter… I didn't expect this much view/review for the first chapter. After all there wasn't much action, it was just the intro. My expedition was low. Thank you!

READ BEFORE THE ACTUAL CHAPTER!

· This story is unbeta'd. Do I need one?

· You might be confused or not understand some points but everything will be clearer as the story progress. But you can ask anyway, after all everyone makes mistakes and maybe I made one.

· If you're reading this in a different language other than English and using translator to read, is it a good translation? I try to pay attention to grammar and punctuation.

· I own nothing but the plot which I got inspired by stevensnatalia's post and Marvel's own multiverse.

· Every chapter will end with a new dimension. If you want, you can try to guess it. Maybe (NOT CERTAIN) I'll decide to add an OC to one chapter (5 or 6 chapters later) and whoever got the most right answers will create the OC. (as long as I like the OC)

· I wish to focus on only Romanogers but as a writer, I have to cover the other parts such as The Avengers in original dimension.

· At first Steve on the ground will be mentioned as Steve and the original one is Steve or I'll write specifically. If you have a better idea, tell me.

· There is a question at the end of this chapter. Please write your opinion. I couldn't decide what to do with it?

New York, Abandoned Alley

Steve was too shocked to speak. Natasha managed to find her voice. "S-Steve?" 'Steve' on the ground looked first Natasha then Steve on his feet. His eyes widened; he, too, was too shocked to speak. All three of them had million questions in their heads but one thing was common what the hell is happening?

The figure who happened to be look exactly like Steve whispered. "Tasha?"

The alley suddenly got as silent as the night. Get a grip, Romanoff. You've seen weirder things. Maybe he is… Natasha narrowed her eyes. "Are you an LMD?" She hissed angrily. She couldn't help herself. Of course a real LMD would tell that it's an LMD. She answered her own question sarcastically.:oughts æ…¬˚∆˙©ƒ˙©ƒ∂ß∑´®†¥¨ˆ the more clear as the story progress:oughts æ…¬˚∆˙©ƒ˙©ƒ∂ß∑´®†¥¨ˆ the more clear as the story progress

Both Steves were confused and spoke at the same time. 'What's an LMD?" They looked at each other while Natasha ignored their question. Steve who was on the ground tried to get up but the look Natasha gave him was enough to stop trying. Natasha looked at Steve's eyes. He looks so... human. Maybe they really improved LMDs. Tony made a design maybe, he isn't a genius for no reason.

Steve looked at her. "Tasha" he whispered again. "H-ho-how could this- how could you be here? Are they here too? And what happened to your hair?" He was only looking at Natasha as if he forgot Steve who was standing was there too.

Steve was observing their conversation. No one seemed to ask the most important question so he took the reins and asked the question he's been dying to ask since he saw the man's, Steve's face. "Who are you talking about? And most importantly who are you?"

Natasha was still thinking about LMDs, how could SHIELD or HYDRA or Tony or anyone could make Steve's LMD without her or his knowing and thus she wasn't really listening them.

Steve looked at his alive and kicking carbon copy. "Steve Rogers" he answered then turned to Natasha but little did she know the words he was about to say were going to draw out her attention. "Your husband"

Your husband... your husband…. Husband…. These words echoed in Natasha's mind. "My what?" She asked while fake-laughing a bit. "No offense Steve, pardon me Steves" she said mockingly while looking back and forth between them. "But I'm not a marriage type."

Steve seemed to miss when she said Steves. He mumbled to himself. "That's what you said before marrying." But what he didn't know was that he was next to one super soldier and super spy who could hear what he said.* He turned to standing Steve while Natasha scoffed at his comment. "Who are you?" He sounded harsh. "Why do you look like me?"

"My name is Steve Rogers." Standing Steve answered.

"Of course you are" Steve spoke sarcastically then turned to Natasha. "Did they make a mask and voice changer? Are you even her?" He deliberately stressed her. The word 'deliberately' here means "on purpose".*

Steve didn't let Natasha talk. "Could Tony and Bruce' device work?" He asked looking for her reaction.

Natasha chuckled. "Don't be ridiculous. It doesn't suit you, Cap." She answered then turned to Steve the LMD. "He is an LMD. Life Model Decoy. Fury used a couple times." She was going to continue but she noticed the expressions of both Steves. I am surrendered by idiots. She briefly thought and decided to explain. " LMD is simply a robot with human looks and voice and organic skin." She turned the Steve she came here with. "Did you watch Terminator franchise? Tony suggested it to you to freak you about robots taking over the world."*

"I was going to….. but I just didn't have time for it." Steve answered truthfully.

"But you understood the concept of LMD right?" Both of Steve nodded while she rolled her eyes. They really did well with this one. He or it can even imitate reactions although he called me Tasha. Well that's one con. "So LMD looks like human, behaves like human, talks like human but LMDs don't have heart beat or their pupils dilate in the dark or they eat or have a need to go to bathroom." She turned Steve while pointing with her finger the other one. "Look at him, listen him. I bet he doesn't have a heart beat or blood or any other humane things."

The one on the ground looked offended. "Excuse me, Tasha but I'm sure I'm a complete human." While he said that, standing Steve was saying was observing him.

Steve knew the answer but he still had to convince Natasha. "I can hear his heart beat and it's really fast right now. Plus he has sweat on his forehead."

Steve asked "How did you hear my heart beat? And I certainly don't sweat." He put his hand on his forehead to prove but he met with wet forehead. "Ohh!"

Unfortunately for Steve, he was ignored by both Steve and Natasha. She turned to standing Steve but didn't want to believe himself even though she knew he was right. She too noticed those traits but she couldn't just say 'Hey Steve I'm a super pardon me enhanced human like you but not as enhanced as you.' Yet, here she was trying to create other reasons for Steve to be an LMD because if he wasn't an LMD that would leave other stupid options such as dimension traveling or cloning.

Steve looked at her in the eyes and said softly. "Nat, I think… no… I know it worked." The other Steve asked. "What worked?" Then again he was ignored.

"That's impossible." She answered shortly.

"Like Demi-Gods? Thor? Loki? Me being under the ice for nearly 70 years?" Steve said, annoyed by Natasha's answer.

After hearing what his other self said, Steve's thoughts were rambling. Demi-Gods? Thor? Loki? Under the ice? 70 years? What the hell is going on? Maybe I'm still asleep and dreaming about Tasha. Yeap that's the only explanation for this fucking day. Common I cant meet with my doppelgänger and Tasha's at the same day, with them together and her with red hair.

Natasha didn't answer but she saw impossible things, she's done the impossible. There are no such thing as impossible.* She thought bitterly then heard Steve say "Where is the Avengers Tower?" to the guy she knocked down to ground.

Steve shook his head when he heard the other guy asked him something. "Avengers Tower? Avengers? What's that, a rock band?" He asked, he was confused. If this was a dream, I wouldn't ask myself something so ridiculous. So it's not a dream then what is this? Am I drugged?

Natasha stumbled back, hysterically laughing. "This is a joke. A. FUCKING. JOKE!" She pointed Steve and started shouting but not enough to draw unwanted attention. "It's a fake heart beat! He-It doesn't even have blood. See!" She quickly took out the knife that she always hides between her back and pants. Started to walk towards Steve and kneeled beside him, took his left hand forcefully and sliced it.

"Ouch" cried Steve. The red liquid, his blood, was flowing through his hand. The realization hit her hard but not fast enough. No no no NOOOOOOOO! PLEASE LET THIS BE A JOKE, A DREAM OR A SIMULATOR NOT ANOTHER DIMENSION!

Steve held her shoulders and lifted her up slowly then turned to Steve and after letting Natasha go, he offered Steve his hand. "Everything will be explained but first," Steve took the offer and he got up. "You said 'Are they here too?' and you were angry and a little afraid while saying that so I assume have enemies that could send someone to follow you."

They looked into each others' eyes. It was like looking into mirror but the reflection was alive and kicking. Steve chuckled. "You understood that from talking to me?"

The other Steve answered. "No, from me." The current dimension's Steve was about to say something but Steve continued. "Is there a safe house where we can't be listened by anyone?"

Steve certainly wouldn't tell anyone where he lives or take them there but he somehow knew the talking man, his doppelgänger, was sincere and his instincts were telling him to thrust them. If they were with them, they would know where I live and I can take care of them better if the environment is familiar. "My place is safe enough. It's not far from here. 15 minutes walk." He hissed when he closed his hand, forgetting his injury caused by red headed Tasha.

The original dimension's Steve pointed Steve's hand. "I would ask if you need help with that but I got nothing."

Steve answered while pressing the wound to prevent further bleeding. "It's okay. I will take care of it when we get my home."

Natasha was listening to them while trying to evaluate the situation. Red Room trained me for every situation but not this. This is something they could never foresee. "Alright," she clapped her hands to draw their attention. "There is something before we proceed" Both Steves looked confused. She turned to her dimension's Steve while pointing him. "I'm calling you Cap or Steve" Then she turned to the other one and pointed again. "And you, Hoody or Grant assuming your middle name is also same. It depends on my mood what I call you." Both of them started to murmur about it being ridiculous. "Hey, hey! I'm saying it, not asking for your opinion. You two have same appearance, voice and name. It will be confusing for everyone. And if you are talking from somewhere I can't see, I will say your name given by me. Deal?" Steves nodded. Both of them knew that it's useless to try to change her decision with Natasha.

"Okay then, follow me. Oh by the way, yes my middle name is Grant and what's up with Cap? He ain't wearing any cap in case you didn't notice." Grant spoke sassily which caused Natasha to roll her eyes.

"Keep moving or..." Steve interrupted Natasha's threat before she could finish. If the looks would kill, Steve would drop dead by Natasha's stare but Steve just smiled at her in return. Natasha sighed. "Alright let's go already!" Grant motioned the exit of alley and together they started to walk to his home.


On their way to Grant's home, Grant couldn't help but glance at both Steve and Natasha, especially Natasha. He knew she wasn't his wife but she looked like her twin and never saw her with red hair. It looked good but weird. He wasn't focusing on the road and without noticing how long they walked, they finally reached their destination. He and Natasha lived in a two-stories flat. Normally this type would be too big for them but in their situation, it was adequate, they had a secret room for guns and other weapons. Old habits die hard Tasha said when they first arranged the room for that. He smiled at the memory and put his key to the lock and turned it. "Home sweet home" he sighed.

Steve and Natasha walked into the apartment behind Grant who rushed to the bathroom to get the bandage for his hand. Natasha was observing the flat when Grant came back. "Nice one but isn't this big for you?"

Grant ignored her question. "Alright we're here so talk." He spoke with annoyance in his voice. He wanted to get over this shit as soon as possible, not wanting small talk.

Natasha didn't like the way he ignored her question and was about to make a sassy comment about it but Steve beat her to it. "You might want to sit down for this." He motioned the couch.

Grant walked towards his kitchen and opened the fridge, taking a beer. He showed the duo. "You want?" They both shook their head simultaneously indicating 'no'. He closed the fridge and walked in front of the counter and sit at the edge of it, facing his doppelgänger and his wife's doppelgänger. "Well start then!" He exclaimed. He waited until home to listen their story or whatever the hell they were going to tell but they haven't even started to it. He looked at his watch. It was 14.30. "You have one hour to tell me whatever the fuck you're going to tell me." I have places to be. He added on his mind.

Both Steve and Natasha sat on the couch and they looked at each other, Natasha nodded and Steve began to talk. "We are…. How to say this…ummm" Grant rolled his eyes and murmured 'ohh come onnnnn'. Steve saw this but decided to ignore it and continued. "We are from another dimension."

The second Grant heard what his doppelgänger said, he spew out his drink then started laughing hysterically. "What…. Are…. You…. Talking…. About? Another dimension?" He barely managed to say anything comprehensive between his laughter.

To say Natasha was annoyed would be an understatement. She was angry that Tony's device worked, they landed in a different universe, they met Steve of this universe and here he was laughing. I admit I did give the same reaction but being in the receiving end is so infuriating. She counted to 10 on her mind in 5 different languages. Calm down Natasha! Don't smack his face! Or kick. "Are you done?" She asked Grant.

Grant wiped his face with his hands and tried his hardest to not to laugh. "Yeah yeah I'm done." He answered while thinking seriously that's the explanation they came up with. Oh man if only Tasha was here.

Steve cleared his throat to gain their attention. He had hoped his doppelgänger would be as sensible as him but clearly that was not the case. "Hear all I have to say before making a judgementC." He gave his signature 'I'm disappointed in you' frown. According to the situation, it would morph into 'where is your righteousness?' look. "Our friends, Tony Stark and Bruce Banner…" Captain America hoped he would get a reaction with saying their name and he was not wrong. His counterpart's expression changed when he heard the names. "…are both geniuses. They were making an experiment about intradi…"

He was cut short by Natasha. "Interdimensional. Parallel universes, alternative universes, multi-verse, multi-dimensions. Pick anyone." She looked at both Steve, they both nodded simultaneously for her to continue. Geez, they both give same reactions! Originally she was going to leave the talking to Steve but the scientific words might confuse him. After all he was beneath the ice for almost 70 years. She was more adapted to science than him. "As Cap said, they are geniuses. They rarely fail. I'd say %12 of their toys, experiments are failure. They thought if they have enough energy focused on one point, they could open a bridge, a portal between worlds. Not just planets or the same galaxy. At least that's what I gathered in 5 minutes." Grant was going to ask what she meant with the last part. He thought 'what now, they did it in between planets?' but Natasha made a gesture to stop him. "Q&A is at the end, Hoody. On our Earth, strange things happened, still happening. You need to see in order to believe. This multi-verse portal thing could have been real and it is real as we are here. Personally I gave it %12 chance of working." Grant looked confused. He wanted to ask 'what's with %12?' as if it was the only thing that wasn't weird but Natasha continued ignoring him. "There are too many variables, unknowns and too much to risk whether it worked or not. We, I and Captain here, tried to stop it but as you see, shit happened."

"LANGUAGE!" Said Captain America. The other occupants of the room turned to him: Grant was looking confused, on the other hand Natasha looked as if she was about to bust out laughing. He coughed. "Ahhhmm….Uhmmm… I guess I continue from here. There was an explosion. I don't remember the time between the light taking over and waking up in the alley. I don't know if any time passed between them." Grant was about to retort but Captain didn't let him. "I understand if you don't believe. I wouldn't either. I would think this was HYDRA's doing but we have proof other than us looking exactly like each other. Clint, our other friend, threw us the remote control." He turned to Natasha. "Common Nat show him."

Natasha was glad that they inverted 'ugh' emotion because this was precisely what she felt now. Sureeee Steve, lay down everything we know to the table. She wasn't going to do as Steve said but she wanted this to end quickly. She pulled the RC and showed to Grant. "I'm not sure how this works nor if it has enough energy to work." Grant walked towards her to get the RC from her. She mumbled. "Ohh, it has a start button." Then she pressed the button as Grant almost arrived her side.

A loud sound came from the RC and Natasha dropped the RC with instinct. The RC fell to floor and an energy beam shot thought its head which created a blue-white circle that looked like vertical, two-dimensional vortex. While Steve and Natasha, the Super Soldier and Super Spy, were taken aback by it, Grant stumbled back and fell to ground, he didn't expect this. The 2-dimensional vortex started to vacuum the things around it slowly while making noice that would make people cover their ears. "CLOSE THE DAMN THING!" yelled Grant while covering his ears.

Natasha picked the RC. She was looking a way to close it but she didn't need to because it closed itself. They all froze where they were. Not a sound came for awhile. Maybe one of them said something but they wouldn't hear either way because there was a tinkling in their ears. Steve was first to recover due to his super soldier serum. "Can you hear me?" he looked first Natasha then to Steve. Their expressions didn't change so Steve assumed they didn't recovered yet.

Natasha was the second. "I seriously need pain-killers." She said that louder than she wanted but she didn't even notice it. She turned to Cap. "WHAT?" She yelled but to her it was normal.

"Yeash Natasha, no need to yell." Steve said in normal voice.

"WHAT?" Natasha answered.

"NO NEED TO YELL!" Steve shouted for her to hear.

"WHAT?" Natasha said a little louder than Steve.

"I SAID NO…." He was going to say it louder but saw Natasha smirking. "Ha ha very funny, Romanoff. You must be very proud of yourself now."

"Oh common Steve-o, it was an opportunity I couldn't miss." Steve now gave her a look saying 'where is your righteousness, Natasha?'. "Okay I admit I first had trouble hearing you but then it passed." She looked the Grant who was still on the ground covering his ears. "Huh, he hasn't recovered yet. So he isn't like you?" She turned to her Steve.

"I guess." He sighed. "But we can't learn anything else before he recovers. Until then we can go over what we know."

"Nahhh… We'll say same things to him anyway. I don't want to repeat myself." Grant stirred. She beckoned Cap for him to look at his twin. "Guess we don't have to wait that long." She waved her hand in front of Grant to get his attention. "You okay?" He nodded. "Suppose you've got questions, so do we since I'm a nice person, I'm letting you ask first."

Grant breathed heavily. "Just one second!" He rubbed his temples while collecting his thoughts. He swallowed before speaking. "What was that?"

"I guess it was a portal to our world." Steve answered.

"But we can't be sure if it's ours. Think about it, before this thing happened, multiverse, other Earths were just a theory. If there is one different Earth, that means there can be others too." Natasha continued.

Stark would have a field day, Grant thought before asking rest of his questions. "Who are you really? What do you want? When will you go back? Is everything same as in your world?"

"My name is Steven Grant Rogers. I am Captain America. And this is Natasha Romanoff, Black Widow. We are the Avengers along with our friends, Clint Barton, Bruce Banner, Tony Stark and Thor. Avengers' mission is to protect the Earth from any threat. We didn't want to come here and wish to go home as soon as possible but we don't know how. Well… pretty much everything looks same. Just I don't have a beard and there is no Avengers Tower in New York. Are you also from Brooklyn?"

Natasha rolled her eyes as Grant answered. "I guess Brooklyn never changes… What do you mean by not knowing how…?"

"It's not like we travel between Earths during our free time. We know as much as you do. The RC shut itself off before I could do it myself thus I think the battery is off. From your previous reaction, I believe there is Tony Stark or Bruce Banner here and you know at least one of them. Take us to them then hopefully they will sort this thing out." She debated in her mind before continuing. "Well there are other differences. Like I'm not blonde and my close allies..." Steve coughed. "...friends call me Nat. Before we go, could you tell me who is the young girl with you and your wife in the picture on the wall? And where is me?"

Grant took a deep breath and looked at Steve. "Frankly I know all of the people you listed and we have this organization called SWORD*. We kinda work for SWORD. Tony is like Q from Jamie Bond. Do you have Jaime Bond in your world?"

Natasha didn't thrust Steve's pop culture knowledge so she answered for them. "We have James Bond. Male. But I liked the idea of woman spy." Geez, I wonder why, Steve thought. "I bet she is femme fatale, a black widow sort of." Natasha almost smiled. "You know we all know you avoided the question. So answer it and be done with it."

Grant walked toward the picture and picked it up. He went to where Steve and Natasha were sitting and passed the picture while sitting the other armchair facing Steve and Nat. "We were out that day. We didn't have any date for a long time and didn't have any time for it. We went a restaurant, had great time. Until... until..." Grant got up, his back was facing them. "A giant group came in and took her. They took her somewhere and did something to her. I don't know what they did to me but all I could do the entire time was just watch. Telling Sarah didn't go so well."

Natasha and Steve both suspected Sarah was the girl in the picture. Natasha swallowed. "And who is Sarah?" She knew the answer but couldn't handle it.

Grant turned to them. "Our daughter." Natasha froze in her seat. I have a daughter in alternate universe. Steve received the news better than Natasha but he was shocked too. After seeing their faces, Grant continued. "Wait a minute, you aren't married but you aren't together and you don't have a daughter?"

Steve and Natasha ignored his question. "Let's go to your Tony and sort this out." Steve said while getting up.

"I can't. I need to take Sarah from school." Grant checked his watch. "Then I will bring her to Bucky, my brother at arms, and I will come here."

Natasha got over her initial shock. "Was it Red Room?"

This time Grant was shocked. "How did you know?"

"I guess evil incarnates are same in every universe. Could Bucky pick your daughter up? So we can go to Tony sooner and I can tell you Red Room's locations sooner. It's better if Red Room diminishes from the face of the Earth asap."

Grant picked up his phone and dialed Bucky asking for him to pick Sarah up. Normally he wouldn't do this but what Tasha's doppelgänger said rang alarm bells in his head. "Let's go!"


In the car, Steve asked about Bucky and his previous group, Howling Commandos, and Peggy. He longed to see them again but didn't want mess this world's order. Grant talked about them. Apparently Peggy Carter was the director of SWORD and married to someone called Daniel Sousa. And rest of the Howling Commando were also called Howling Commandos here too and they were The Special Force.

After arriving Tony's lab, Grant told them to wait outside and went to talk to Tony. He explained everything he knew. Tony came out of his lab. "Oh. My. GOD! You really are a replica of Steve and Tasha but you too are taller, strange." Tony observed both of them. "Common talk! I wonder if you sound alike."

Steve wanted to get into the business. "Look, Tony..."

Tony shrieked from excitement, clapping his hands. "And you, my dear?" He turned to Natasha.

Natasha smiled and decided to pull a small prank. She changed her voice a little more high-pitched and spoke with British accent. "We need your help, Mr. Stark."

Tony scoffed then smiled. "You know Tasha and I met for the first time when she tried to infiltrate my company and do you know what? She used the exact same voice and accent you did seconds ago." He got in the middle of both of them and threw each arm around them. "Come we have so much to talk."

When they got into lab, Natasha gave Tony the RC. While Tony was looking at the RC, he asked the burning question. "How is me in your world?"

Steve and Natasha looked at each other's eyes, nodding then answering at the same time. "Same"

Tony laughed as he opened the RC. "Ohhh, the cables are fried. I will change them but what other me used in the system... I've never seen such thing before."

"It's alien tech." Tony gasped while Grant shook his head, not believing Steve. "That's how the Avengers formed. To fight Chitauri army."

"The Avengers? Grant said something about it. Do you have a picture?"

Natasha took out her phone and found a group picture in their suits, showing it to both Tony and Grant. "That's you, Tony as Iron Man. Thor is Thor, the demigod. Clint is the archer, Hawkeye. Bruce is the green one, Hulk. He had an accident involving gamma rays. That's me Black Widow and that's Steve, Captain America, the First Avenger, the Super Soldier, the man wit..."

"I think they got the point Nat." Steve stopped her before her saying other names for him. He wanted to change the subject. "How long would it take for you to fix the RC, Tony?"

"I don't know. A couple hours maybe." He looked at the RC again. "Aha! I knew there had to be something familiar in this. There is a miniature arc reactor in here but it is crashed. I can repair it. I will call you in a few hours when I finish it. I need to call my dad for help. He will love this. Now shoo shoo. We will need space."

Steve gulped. "Howard is alive?" He couldn't help himself.

"Yeah? Isn't he in your world?" Tony asked.

Steve and Natasha looked at each other. Natasha took a deep breath. What the hell? There is no point in hiding it from this Tony. "In December 16, 1991, HYDRA, a nazi organization, brainwashed James Barnes and ordered him to kill Howard and Maria Stark. I know they aren't your parents but I'm sorry." Natasha responded because she knew Steve couldn't do it.

"Ohh" Both Tony and Grant were shocked. "Awkward silence." Tony tried to smooth the air but failed miserably until Grant took over.

"Alright we'll go then and wait for your call Tony." Grant ushered others.

Tony yelled as they left. "I want to know more about this boy band plus Tasha."

Grant told them to get in the car so they can leave for a safe house in the city. After starting the car, he asked the one million dollar question. "Tell me about the Red Room." He looked at Natasha briefly. Natasha was sitting on the shotgun seat while Steve was in the back.

"Alright but I need to check a few things first I'd they are the same. Give me your phone." Grant took phone from his pocket and gave Natasha.

"The password is 23072004." Grant saw Steve's confused face through the rear mirror. "That's when we first met in European style." She mumbled smart woman. "No one knows except us. Not even Bucky or Sarah. We couldn't tell the whole truth."

As Natasha unlocked the phone to search for some incidents Red Room caused to see if they were the same as in her world and the satellite view where Red Room bases located, Steve wondered how did they met and why it was kept secret even from Bucky. "How did you meet?"

Grant laughed. "It's a funny story. I was working for SWORD and she for Red Room. She got framed and exposed by Red Room. I was sent to kill her. I've made a different choice obviously. I saw the real her behind the mask Red Room made her wear and together we destroyed Red Room or so we thought. Along the way we fell in love. It was hard for her to admit though."

Natasha stopped for a second after hearing what Grant said. "It's funny. In my world it was Clint who made a different choice although we didn't have any romantic relationship. Steve wasn't available during that time." I wonder if it were Steve, would we be together like this world's Steve and me. She chuckled at her thought. Yeah right, Captain America and Black Widow, American soldier and Russian spy, two extremes of each sides, fell in love. I wouldn't hear the end of Cold War jokes from Clint. "Let me guess. You first encountered in Russia but when you started working together, the mission dragged you to Budapest. And, well, hell broke loose."

"Same here. You know, Barton was my partner in every mission except in the one when I met you, I mean Tasha, I was solo then. He covered me back in SWORD while we fought Red Room." Grant explained quickly.

As they neared their destination, Natasha finished her search. "Alright I'm done. I'm going to write the location of Red Room and will add satellite photos to it along with some special features. When we reach the safe house, we can talk about Red Room."

Steve leaned toward the front, his face was between the heads of two seats. "You also noticed two black SUVs following us?"

Natasha rolled her eyes millionth time that day. If I keep doing this, I will have eye problem. Before Natasha could say anything, Grant beat it to her. "I know. That's why I changed the way. I tried to lose them without getting unwanted attention but it obviously didn't work out. Now hold on be..." He didn't have time to finish because another SUV crashed them from left. Grant regained the control of the car. "Oh common, I just got this out of the service!" He yelled as he floored it. Another SUV came from right and Grant turned the wheel hard to left and went into another road. The road was blocked by an 18-wheeler. Grant took a sharp right. The road seemed safe for now until they noticed it. Someone was standing in the road. Grant wanted to turn the wheel but it was impossible. "WHAT THE FUCK?! WHEEL DOESN'T WORK!" He tried again but failed then he stepped on the brake but it didn't work either. As they got closer the figure in top speed, the figure's image seemed clearer. "Tasha?" Grant whispered, all three of them looking right into her. She wasn't moving an inch, they were going to crush her but then the car flipped into the air and fell the ground. The momentum caused the car to drag a little.

When the car stopped, Steve kicked the door which caused the door to break. He ran where would Natasha's seat would be and ripped the door. She was upside down, safety belt was holding her. Steve didn't waste any time and he ripped the safety belt from its base. Natasha fell then hissed from the pain. "Go help Grant I can get out." Natasha spoke quickly. Steve went to the other side to do the same thing to Grant. Normally Grant would ask how did he ripped the car but they didn't have time as a group of men in black suit came running toward them at the same time shooting at them. Steve took the car door he ripped from the car and used it as a shield for him and Grant. "You okay?" Natasha yelled from the other side.

"WE ARE UNDER HEAVY FIRE ATTACK SO YEAH I'M OKAY! JUST ANOTHER THURSDAY FOR US!" Steve responded sassily.

"REMEMBER İSTANBUL?!" Natasha asked then without waiting for an answer, she proceeded. She quickly picked up the ripped off door and used it as a shield. She dragged the door to a near building.

"Do you have any gun in your car?" Steve asked Grant.

"I've got 8 year-old daughter of course, I don't have gun in my car!" Grant looked around and spotted a nice cover. "On your 4." Steve looked at Grant who betokened a place. "When they reload, we can run and roll to there so we won't be shot."

"No need!" He lifted the door. "Let's go!"

"How did you…" They started to run while holding the door as cover.

"Finish them first, ask later."

"We can't do much until Nat gives us opening. Did you say something before we crushed?"

Grant sighed. "I saw Tasha. She was standing there but she can kill us with a thought if she really wanted it. I don't understand why she didn't already."

"I don't question why people don't kill me. You can ask her after we get out of here.

Meanwhile Natasha had already entered the building, climbing the stairs as fast as she could. When she reached the rooftop, she carefully opened the door. Her instincts are never wrong. There were two enemy men on the roof of the building where she was standing and another two on the next roof. Stealth mode activated. She crouched and silently went to next two them. Gosh if only I had hidden blades on my both arms.* she wrapped her both arms around one's neck, breaking it while her feet were around the other's neck, snapping it. I did balet bitch. She was about to crouch to be hidden from sight but a shot was made to her. Seriously? I was standing, not covering and they missed me? Red room got sloppy*. She grabbed one gun from the ground and checked the bodies for a phone. After finding it, she quickly went to the nearest small wall. (What are they called anyway? You know small walls surrounding the roof). She unlocked the phone and opened the front camera, pointing the men's location. She aligned the gun according to the image on the phone and shot both men. She jumped to the other roof, took the guns men were holding. She went to edge of roof to shoot rest of the men from above but something prevented her from doing that. She couldn't move any muscle except to breathe and to blink. She was pulled by a force into the building and got slammed to the wall. In there she saw her…herself…this world's Natasha. She had short blonde hair with black-brown roots and she seemed a little shorter than her. So they didn't give her SSS then? There wasn't anyone on the roof. She brought me here and held me against the wall on air with her…mind? She became a telekinetic? "No I just became smarter." Blonde one answered. And she can read minds. "Who are you?"

"I am you from another world. Your husband and my friend are here and under heavy fire. We can help them. By we, I mean you. You flipped the car without moving and you did this now. You can save them with a thought right?" Natasha came to a conclusion and waited for her to confirm.

"I don't have a husband."

"Red Room brainwashed you. They did to me in my world too. They brainwashed me, altered my memories, deleted them… If you don't believe me read my mind. I will let you enter it." Natasha gulped then relaxed. She knew herself very well and that she wouldn't miss this opportunities. Tasha, blonde one, closed her eyes as she touched Natasha's temples with both hands. She saw the images from Red Room and then Natasha thought about Avengers, Steve, how they got here, Steve of this world, the picture she saw in their house and she focused on the picture. Tasha stumbled back, holding her head. It's good thing that brains' response to commands are faster than anything.* Tasha screamed and everything around them started to float. Natasha has been through enough experience to know that she was losing her control over emotions and knew enough that a telekinetic with no emotion control is dangerous. "I know what you feel, you know that I do. Breathe please and focus on my voice." She repeated the last part until Tasha calmed down which caused the floating things to go their respective places. Natasha dropped to ground and immediately went to near her. "You can go back to your family but first you need to save your husband and mine then if you want, which I certainly would, you can avenge your family." Tasha looked at her. "Are you ready?" Tasha nodded and got up. She walked toward the stairs while Natasha followed her. When they reached the base of stairs, Tasha, without saying anything, lifted them up from ground and descended. After landing on the ground Tasha walked straight into street.

One of the Red Room agents yelled at her in Russian. "What are you waiting for? Go find your double!" Natasha then walked next to Tasha and smiled wickedly at the agent. The agent turned his gun to Natasha and told her to freeze. This attracted others too but one of the girls gave a damn. Tasha looked every single one of them then she lifted them up, snapping their necks.

After hearing there are no more guns firing them, Steve and Grant both looked at what happened. Grant froze when he saw Tasha. "Tasha?" he whispered. "TASHA!" He started to run toward her, not caring if she doesn't remember her. "TASHA!" When he reached Tasha, he threw his arms around her, giving her a tight hug.

Tasha didn't hug back. "I'm sorry." Was the only thing she said.

"It's okay… it wasn't your fault. Do you know me?"

"Steve…" She whispered. She couldn't help herself but to hug him back. "You are my husband. The person I love more than anything aside from Sarah. I'm sorry!" Tears fell down from her eyes.

"It's okay…it's okay…" Steve of this world patted her head until they fulfilled their longing.


"So in this alternative universe, am I really red, white and blue spandex wearing superhero from 40s?" Grant asked both Steve and Natasha. After getting Tasha back from Red Room, Steve and Natasha of this world invited their friends, who were same with the members of the Avengers from the original universe, to celebrate Tasha's return.

Steve grumbled, saying "It's not spandex."

Natasha always liked to tease Steve so she added to humor. "Oh trust me, the outfit is just the start. He's also got giant matching Frisbee."

Everyone laughed. "But my friends, you are forgetting the most importing thing here. I am a God in their universe." Thor gave a huge smile to the group.

"I knew you weren't normal." Clint said.

"Good for you. I turn into giant green monster!" Bruce was horrified.

"Hey hey hey… Hulk isn't a monster. He saved our saves on multiple occasions. He is a friend." Natasha defended her teammate… ally…friend as much as she doesn't want to admit to anyone from their world except Clint and maybe… that's a big maybe… Steve.

"Alright, it's ready!" Tony came from his lab. He gave the RC to Natasha. "This one here shows the battery. This button opens the portal. And this one closes it. I tried it and the portal is stable." He then gave back her phone. "I did what you asked and I kinda get some info on Avengers and me. Hope you don't mind!" Natasha gave her phone to Tony, asking him if he could upload some basic info about their world and counterparts of the Avengers. They came to another world, at least they could leave with something. "Oh before you go let's take a group photo." In that moment Howard Stark came to where they were. "Dad, good you are here. Take a photo of us from this and this." Tony took Natasha's phone again and he gave both her and his phones to his dad.

After taking the photo, Steve went to Howard. "It's good to see you again Howard. You aged well." He shook Howard's hand. This might have seem weird to anyone who doesn't know Steve personally but his close friends would know. It was hard but nice for Steve to meet one of his friends before he went under the ice.

As Steve and Howard were talking a bit, Tasha approached Natasha. "I think he is more handsome than my husband." Both ladies shared a laugh. "You sure don't feel anything for him or are you trying convice yourself that?"

"He is my friend from my team. Nothing more nothing less. He deserves someone better than me." Natasha was uncomfortable talking about this. She knew Tasha could read minds but she also knew Tasha wouldn't invade her piravicy after their encounter in that building.

"Life is short, you know. Well certainly not for you but you never know what can happen next. Don't waste any time." Tasha said before going back to her husband.

"I'm ready!" Steve came near Natasha. "Are you?"

"Let's go home." Steve held out his hand for her to take. "I'm not holding your hand, Steve. You aren't 5."

"I was just stretching!" Steve defended himself. You are a terrible liar Steve. Steve remembered what she said to him. Hopefully she didn't notice it.

After saying goodbyes, Natasha pressed the button. "Here goes everything." The portal opened but this time there wasn't any noice. Before she and Steve crossed the portal, she looked one more time to Steve for reassurance which Steve responded with a nod.


Steve and Natasha landed on grass. They looked around and spotted a high school, Savenport High School. "Why didn't we just land in Avengers Tower?" Steve asked.

Natasha was rubbing her temples. "I don't know. Can you call Tony from your phone? My head is killing me."

Steve took out his phone and tried to call Tony but failed. "Uhhh, it says no signal?" He still wasn't sure about the tech.

"What? Let me get that." She snatched the phone from his hand and checked it out. "Huh, weird." She then checked her phone which resulted in the same way. "Maybe changing dimensions caused signal problems."

"Or maybe, we aren't at home." Steve suggested.

If this hadn't happened before, Natasha would dismiss it. "Maybe. Let's check from the internet in the school. If we exist then we call Tony to pick us up. If not… We'll think about it." Together, they walked toward the school.


Avengers Tower, New York, The Original Universe

"TONY BRING THEM BACK!" Clint yelled at Tony.

"I'm trying okay? Yelling won't help!" Tony turned to computer to recheck what happened.

"You need to calm down Clint. I'm sure they are okay." Bruce comforted Clint.

"Don't tell me to calm down!"

"You aren't the only one who lost them Clint. We all did. They are our friends." Bruce countered.

"Natasha isn't my just friend. She is…" Clint stopped herself from saying anything else. She is my sister, aunt of my children, not just a friend. Bruce didn't know what to say other than "oh".

"My friends, I will go to Asgard to ask Heimdall if he can find our friends. I will be back shorthly." With that Thor went to the balcony and called for Heimdall. "HEIMDALL! OPEN THE BIFROST!"


· What they gave to Tasha made her like Lucy from Lucy (movie)

· I know there wasn't much romance but I want to develop the characters as with their relationships.

*In comics Natasha is enhanced, similar to Steve's in comics. She was born in 1928 and her serum kept her young. I think she is enhanced in MCU too. Just watch Civil War's first Natasha fight. She hits too hard for a woman in her size.

· Big question! When should be Natasha's birthday? Her birthday in MCU is November 22 and born in 1984 (because of Scarlett Johansson. It's her birthday date) but I'll change the year (maybe I wouldn't be changing if they make a Black Widow movie with flashbacks of her past. If not, I already plan to write a fanfic about only her.) Her name is Natalia which means born on Christmas and she is Russian so I assume she is orthodox thus Christmas is on January 7 (Is it correct?). The question is should I change her birthday to January 7?

· Oh my damnnnn! I wrote this question in March 2017 and now there are rumors about BW movie which would get Scarlett minimum 25M. Wow! And we have IW trailer!
