Chapter 2: Calling All Heroes

S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters 2016

The rescue mission was a success. Coulson led a mission to rescue Fitz and Simmons from a H.Y.D.R.A. base in England where they were forced to travel to the planet Maveth in search of an evil creature. As far as they knew, they succeeded in defeating H.Y.D.R.A. and making sure that creature remained on Maveth. Zephyr One, the plane they used to get there, now landed back at the secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base. Coulson and his entire team stepped onto the ground and were surprised to discover that they had visitors. Coulson, Skye, May, Fitz, Simmons, Bobbi, Hunter, Mack, and Lincoln exited the plane and found that Black Widow and Vision were waiting for them on the ground. They all took a brief moment to say hello to their old friends.

"How have you been?" Coulson asked. "I'm sorry we weren't able to help you out with Missy in New York last year."

"Don't worry about it." Black Widow said. "Hello Skye. Are you doing better with your powers?"

"It's Daisy now." She said. "And yes I'm doing much better."

"You didn't come here to catch up." Agent May said. "So why are you here?"

"Do you have a place where we can sit down and talk?" Black Widow asked.

Coulson then led the two Avengers and his team down the halls of the base into a large conference room. They all sat down and waited to hear what the Avengers had to say.

"Does this have anything to do with Inhumans?" Daisy asked.

"No." Vision said. "As far as we know they have nothing to do with this."

"Do you remember last year in Cardiff when we sent the Cybermen through the Rift?" Black Widow asked. When the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents nodded their heads forward, she continued. "Then, Rose Tyler fell out of the Rift. She warned us about evil creatures called Cyber-Daleks. She told us how they quickly conquered her entire parallel world and killed all those that stopped them, including the Avengers."

"Please tell me you're not going to say what I think you're going to say." Coulson said.

"Our biggest fears have come true." Black Widow said. "A Cyber-Dalek appeared at the Avengers facility and attacked us. It was looking for Iron Man."

"The other members of the team tried to destroy it and failed." Vision said. "The power of this stone was the only thing strong enough to kill it."

"The Cyber-Daleks have found a way to travel across parallel worlds?" Fitz asked.

"Yes." Black Widow said. "That's why we want your help to stop them before they can even get here."

"What exactly do you think we can do?" Simmons asked.

"We don't know." Vision said. "This is a dangerous enemy and there are only so many Avengers. You've been collecting Inhumans and training them."

"We've been finding them and helping them adjust to their new selves." Daisy said. "We aren't recruiting an army of super humans."

"Enhanced humans may the the best way to stop these monsters." Black Widow said.

"What about the Doctor?" Lincoln asked.

"We have no way of reaching him, but we're trying." Black Widow said. "We don't know if we'll be getting help from him this time."

"Then you can count on our help." Coulson said. "Mack. I want you to stay here and command the base. The rest of us are going with Natasha and Vision back to the Avengers Facility."

"Good luck." Mack said to them all.

"Are we really capable of dealing with those things?" Hunter asked.

"I guess we'll see." Bobbi said.

"Thank you for your help." Black Widow said. "Now let's get to the Quinjets and leave. We can't afford to lose any more time."


Malibu, United States 2016

A Quinjet landed on Tony Stark's front lawn in the middle of the night. The noise was enough to wake Tony and his wife Pepper. They rushed outside their mansion to find Captain America (arguably Tony's least favorite Avenger) and War Machine stepping out of the jet and walking up to them.

"What do you want?" Tony asked.

"We need your help." Captain America said.

"I told you." Tony said. "I resigned."

"Your life is in danger." War Machine said.

"What?" Pepper asked. "Who is it this time?"

"Has Tony told you about the Cyber-Daleks?"

"That's impossible." Tony said. "They can't even get here. They can't just travel between parallel worlds."

"Rose Tyler did it." Captain America said. "She's done it multiple times."

"One of them appeared out of nowhere and attacked the Avengers base." War Machine said. "it was looking for you. They want you for something."

"So what do you want me to do?" Tony said.

"Suit up." Captain America said. "And come back to the base with us. We'll go from there."

Tony glanced at Pepper, who gave him a look saying that it was ok for him to leave.

"Pepper." Tony said. "Go stay with your family. You're not safe here if evil robot killers from another universe are out to get me. Eventually, they'll find out where I live."

"Just be careful." She said.

The two of them then shared a kiss. Tony then went back inside to put on his special red armor. He was, once again, going to become Iron Man. What they did not know, was that two Cyber-Daleks had teleported to this universe and were on their way to California right now in search of Tony Stark.


Asgard 2016

The TARDIS landed in the grand, golden halls of the royal palace on Asgard. Inside the time traveling blue box was the Doctor and his current companion Rose Tyler. Ever since Rose came back from her parallel world, the old team had been traveling the universe once again, searching for a way for Rose to return home and a way for her to destroy the Cyber-Daleks once she got there. Their search led them to Asgard. The Doctor and Rose visited the Library in the 51st century. There, they learned about the six infinity stones. Any one of them would have enough power to destroy the Cyber-Daleks and perhaps even open up a hole in the universe where Rose could travel back to her own world. The infinity stones had been scattered across space many years ago. One of the stones was inside the Tesseract. The Tesseract was a blue cube that opened up a portal over New York City in 2012, allowing the Chitauri to invade the planet. Thankfully, the Avengers were there to stop it. The cube was used to open a portal for the Chitauri in New York City once again in 2013. This time the Daleks were also invading. It took the combined efforts of the Doctor, his friends, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Avengers to defeat both enemies. Now, the Doctor and Rose were preparing to step out of the TARDIS, but they suddenly got an alert on the screen by the console.

"What is it?" Rose asked.

"Let's find out." The Doctor said as they both looked at the screen.

What they saw horrified them. There had been a breach in the walls of the universe. Two Cyber-Daleks had appeared on Earth.

"How did they learn to travel across universes?" Rose asked.

"They're smart." The Doctor said. "It was only a matter of time before they figured it out. The good news is it should just be those two. They should've used up any power or whatever energy they used just to get them here."

"One Cyber-Dalek is all they need." Rose said. "They multiply. They're part Cybermen. They'll convert people until they have a massive army that no one can defeat. That's what they did on my Earth."

"Then we better get the Tesseract." The Doctor said.

The Time Lord and the blonde woman stepped out of the TARDIS and into the beautiful halls of the royal palace. However, a few yards in front of them, were four guards standing in front of a door. In the middle of the four guards was the warrior Lady Sif.

"Hello Doctor." Sif said. "Welcome back to Asgard. Thor informed me of your physical transformation."

The Doctor met Sif for the first time when he brought his wife River Song here and they teamed up with Thor to defeat the enchantress Lorelei.

"How is Thor?" The Doctor asked.

"Well." Sif said. "Why have you come here?"

"We were hoping to borrow something from you." Rose said.

"Do you know what lies behind this door?" Sif asked.

"The Tesseract." The Doctor said.

"Did you come here with the intention of taking the Tesseract?" Sif asked.

"Can't you just let us borrow it for a little while?" The Doctor asked.

"I have no choice." Sif said. "In accordance with the law of Asgard, I must arrest you and detain you."

"No." The Doctor said. "I don't think you will."

The Doctor and Rose then swiftly ran back inside the TARDIS. Sif commanded her guards to go after the old Time Lord, but the blue box had already started to fade away. They tried and failed to get the Tesseract. Perhaps they would try again later. For now, they had to get to Earth and deal with the two Cyber-Daleks.


London, England 2016

Clara Oswald sat alone in her apartment. She hadn't been quite the same since Danny's death. They were going to get married, but he was killed by Missy's Slitheen in New York last year. She still worked as a teacher, but she longed now for her days of adventure. The Doctor never returned her calls anymore and she hadn't been asked to accompany S.H.I.E.L.D. on a mission in months. Without Danny, she couldn't stand the quiet. Suddenly, her door bell rang. Clara then opened it and was delighted to find the Falcon and Scarlet Witch, two friends she made last year while fighting Ultron in Sokovia and Missy in New York. She happily invited them inside and they sat down at her small kitchen table to talk.

"We need your help." Falcon said.

"What's going on?" Clara asked.

"Do you remember last year when Rose Tyler told us about the Cyber-Daleks?" Scarlet Witch asked.

"Of course." Clara said.

"They're here." Falcon said. "One of them invaded our base and almost killed us all. We were barely able to destroy it. We need to contact the Doctor, but we don't know how. Is there any way you can call him?"

"I've been trying." Clara said. "He never answers his phone."

Then, something's strange happened. An unusual wind raced through the apartment, accompanied by a strange sound. Clara knew this sound very well. It was the sound of the TARDIS materializing in her living room. The Doctor had finally returned.
