A/N: Welcome to chapter 2. I own nothing. If I did, I would be a very rich and happy cookie.

Slowly the air rippled as the faint outline of the arches that lead into the citadel appeared. Arthur could barely hold in his excitement as Merlin lead everyone inside.

"Whoa," Bruce breathed.

"Everything is perfectly preserved," Arthur said in happiness.

"Gwen and the knights and Gaius are sleeping in the throne room," Merlin said as they walked up the white castle stairs.

Merlin turned around and his eyes turned gold again as he shut the door that they had entered through. The shield around Camelot made the Avengers think of a giant window that you could see out of, but not into. They observed the beautiful structure as they made their way into the throne room. Even though it was daylight, torches and candles were lit, giving off a warm, orange glow. Eventually they came to a set of double wooden doors. Merlin gave Arthur a small smile before opening the door. Arthur's breath was stolen from him as he gazed upon his wife who lay in the middle of his trusted knights and one stranger. At the sight of an unknown woman, Arthur turned to face Merlin.

"Her name is Sarah. She came to Camelot a few weeks after you died. She found Percival standing on the edge of a balcony debating on if he should jump," Merlin said with a small frown.

"Percy wanted to kill himself?" Arthur asked in shock.

"Yes. Between losing Lancelot, then you and Gwaine in one day, he was lost. She talked him out of it though and Gwen immediately offered her a place within the castle. After she scolded Percy first," Merlin said, chuckling at the memory. Gwen may be smaller than Percival, but she could be very formidable when angered.

Arthur walked over to the bed that Gwen was sleeping on. Her face was peaceful, but Arthur could see a few new stress lines. It made his heart sad to see what had happened to his beautiful Guinevere. Arthur felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Merlin.

"Ready to be reunited with everyone?" he asked.

"Yes," Arthur responded, moving away.

Merlin held out his hands over everyone. A blue light emanated from his hands for a few seconds before putting them back down by his sides. Within moments, everyone began to stir. The first to awake was Sarah. She sprang up with a loud gasp, her eyes opening and glowing gold. Arthur turned to face Merlin, his eyebrow raised.

"Did I forget to mention she has magic?" Merlin asked sheepishly.

"You forgot, didn't you?" Arthur deadpanned.

"I'm old! My memory isn't what it used to be," Merlin joked.

"Don't be a girl's petticoat," Arthur shot back.

"Prat."

"Simpleton."

"Cabbagehead."

"Dollophead."

"Hey! That's my word you arrogant ass!"

"Merlin, I'm the king I can do whatever I please."

"God they bicker like an old married couple," Tony said.

"Do we do that?" Steve asked Tony, turning to face him.

"Yes," the rest of the team members answered.

"Boys, that's quite enough," a female voice said in exasperation.

Merlin and Arthur turned to face the woman. Sarah was very beautiful. She had warm brown eyes, long brown hair, and tanned skin that showed she spent a lot of time in the sun. She wore a simple dress that showed she wasn't wealthy, but she held her head up high. Sarah swung her legs over the side of the bed, and stood up. Well, tried to anyway. The moment she stood, her legs buckled underneath her. Luckily Merlin was close enough to catch her before she hit the ground.

"Easy. You've been asleep for a long time. You need to take it slow," Merlin said as he helped her sit back down.

"How long is a long time?" Percival's groggy voice asked.

"1,500 years. Give or take a few decades," Merlin responded.

"Damn. No wonder my body feels like lead," Leon sounded.

"At least you're young. Try being my age," came Gaius' voice from one of the dark alcoves by where the thrones used to be.

"Why is men always seem to complain the moment they awake?" Gwen asked as she sat up with a yawn.

"Because we are just children stuck in an adult's body," Tony said.

"Fair point," Sarah chuckled.

"Hey, not all of us are like that," Arthur argued.

"You complain more than anyone I've ever met." Merlin stated.

"Merlin," Arthur growled.

"Shut up?" Merlin asked with a nostalgic smile.

"You guessed it," Arthur said.

"Arthur," Gwen breathed.

Tears gathered in her eyes as she stared at her once dead husband. The hole that seemed to have taken the place of her heart began to dissipate at the sight of him standing in front of her. Looking the same as he did the day she last saw him. He knelt in front of her as she swung her legs over the side. He placed a hand on the side of her face. She leaned into it, smiling in relief and happiness.

"I missed you," Arthur said in a whisper.

"Not as much as I missed you," Gwen responded.

"And probably not as much as Merlin missed all of us," Sarah said as she attempted to stand again.

"What did I tell you about taking it slow?" Merlin asked as she once again fell onto her bed.

"Eh, you know me. Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk," she said a little breathlessly.

"That's what I say all the time," Tony said as he approached everyone.

"That still makes no sense," Natasha said.

"What on earth are you wearing?" Leon asked as he took in the new people.

"It's called a uniform," Merlin said. "Times have changed. Women don't really wear dresses anymore unless it is for a special occasion."

"You mean I no longer have to wear a dress?" Sarah asked.

"Nope. You could wear jeans or shorts if you preferred," Nat said.

"Sweet," Sarah said with a smile. "Would one of you be a gentlemen and help me up real quick? My legs don't seem to be cooperating with me."

Steve, ever the gentleman, offered her his arm. She took it with a smile, and was able to stand. She took slow, baby steps over to Percival's bed.

"Thank you," she said as she sat down next to the gentle giant.

"You're welcome, Ma'am," Steve said as moved back to stand with the others.

"Hey," Sarah said as she turned to face Percy with a smile.

"Hey," he responded with a smile of his own.

Perce reached up and cradled Sarah's face softly. She raised her own hand to hold his against her face. She leaned down and pressed her forehead to his and closed her eyes. Even though they hadn't known each other for very long, they strongly connected with one another. They both had lost people they were close to and loved. They had barely told each other they cared for one another before they went to sleep.

"Merlin, come help me up," Gaius demanded.

"I've gone from an independent adult back to apprentice within two seconds," Merlin said under his breath with a happy smile. "Coming."
