Chapter 1

Four years later.

Skeets cheerfully opened the window blinds and said, "Good morning sir, it is a good day, the weather networks say so."

Andrew hissed as the sun hit him and said, "Skeets its, damn! Is it really that late?"

"Yes sir," Skeets said, "I tried to wake you up and you suggested that I should become a toaster, you have a big day today."

Andrew blinked and said, "I do? Wait, do I have to go back in time?"

"No sir," Skeets said cheerfully, "The timeline has remained unaltered, I would know otherwise sir."

As Andrew dressed he frowned and said, "So what is the big day?"

"Oh sir, of course," Skeets said cheerfully, "It's your graduation day, congratulations, you spent four years in College and I am so proud to have helped you with your studies and other activities sir."

"Yeah," Andrew said softly as he moved his arm and hissed.

Skeets floated down and said, "Sir, is your arm still sore?"

"The suit protects me," Andrew said, "But it still hurts when I get hit."

Andrew frowned and Skeets said, "I have good news sir; I have figured out where the Hydra time travellers have come from."

"Hmm," Andrew said with a smile, "When, it's when not where Skeets."

"Ah yes," Skeets said, "But sir, it seems that they are coming from a future time, I cannot say where sir."

"Future?" Andrew said, "Umm, yeah, that sounds good. Wait, can we go to the future?"

"First, graduate sir," Skeets said, "And I shall scan for the ripples that these time travellers cause."

As Andrew ran out of the dorm room Skeets mused, 'Andrew has improved steadily since we became partners, Andrew was horrified to find out how many time travellers there were but most of them seemed hell-bent on changing history for the better.'

Skeets flew about, packing Andrew's things that they would be needing when they head off to wherever or whenever Andrew wanted to go.

He decided to keep scanning the time stream, the time travel technology Hydra used was considerably more primitive than his and Andrew's technology but it seemed better than the technology today.

As Skeets scanned he hummed a tune Andrew sung every now and then, Andrew had stopped four attempts of this Hydra to alter history's path; one attack was on a young man named Tony Stark, Andrew explained to Skeets that since he was a CEO of a weapon manufacturing firm then perhaps Mr. Stark developed weapons to use against Hydra.

They had thankfully protected Mr. Stark without the young man noticing their actions, there were other operations that Andrew, with Skeets's help, had identified key points of history which Andrew considered Nexus points: World War two and a few points in the seventies.

A few hours later Andrew came back and said, "You're right, it was better than Tucker's high school graduation with no giant demon snakes, I wasn't top of my class but enough that I'm happy where I am right now."

"Good for you sir," Skeets said happily, "And Andrew, I found out where the main bulk of the Hydra agents we've been dealing come from, the era at least, it's ten years into the future."

Andrew sat down pensively and said, "So, they're in the future huh?"

"Yes sir," Skeets said as they sat next to each other, Andrew frowned and Skeets looked at him and said, "Sir, the future; you've always said that you didn't want to see the future."

"It's only ten years," Andrew said, "Right?"

"Yep, ten years," Skeets said, "so are we going to do what I think we're doing?"

Andrew sighed and said, "Let's go see to my affairs first, we should put the rest of my money in the bank."

Skeets floated around him and said, "Yes sir. Also, might I suggest making some investments with the money you saved up, I will make the investments for you."

"Alright," Andrew said, "But now I'll work up a story, I'll tell my family that I'm gonna be volunteering my time with some group or something like that."

Skeets simply nodded and said, "We shall begin to prepare immediately."

A few weeks later Andrew sighed as he got ready and said, "Umm, wow, I'm actually doing this huh?" As he put on the suit, he frowned and said, "So, ten years?"

"First sir," Skeets said cheerfully, "We should scan ahead," and sighed, "Yes sir, ten years."

Andrew held Skeets as he pressed a button and he and Skeets faded from the present.

Ten years later

As they reappeared in an alleyway Andrew took the suit off, save for the Legion flight ring. Skeets looked around and said, "Sir, this is the time period from which I believe the first attack happened."

Andrew looked at Skeets and said, "So the later versions came from further up the timeline but I believe sir that this is the best time to begin the fight against them."

"Okay," Andrew said, "Umm, let's see."

Andrew flew up, he frowned and said, "Cool, New York City, kinda awesome actually, I always wanted to visit this city."

"But you have sir," Skeets said happily, "Five times."

"I mean in a year where I was alive," Andrew said smirking and flew down to a newspaper stand, he quickly sighed, "Ten years goddamn it, I should be in my late twenties, now I'm what?"

"Biologically sir you should be thirty," Skeets said cheerfully, "And sir, let's see if the investments paid off."

Andrew looked at Skeets and said, "What did you invest in by the way?"

"Oh, umm, Star Industries, I admit to having some interest in it," Skeets said happily.

Andrew sighed and said, "Perfect, so Skeets, how did the investments pan out?"

"Excellent sir," Skeets said, "We now have in excess of fourteen million dollars that I held in trust for us, we should head to your bank."

As Andrew walked off he tapped the ring and frowned and said, "Skeets, can you see how my family is doing?"

"Of course sir," Skeets said, "Let's see your brother, hmmm, I cannot seem to access his files and, before you ask, I cannot find your friend Jonathon's file either."

Andrew looked down and he sighed, 'Perhaps it was for the best for now.'

As they sat alone a handsome man sat next to him and smiled at him, Andrew looked at him in confusion and said, "Hi?"

The man grinned and said, "Andrew Wells; a legend by my time."

Andrew backed away and the man smirked and said, "I mean you no harm boy, right now you are the only one protecting the timeline. I may be a threat later on but for now I am your ally."

"Who are you?" Andrew asked, "Umm, you're not with Hydra are you?"

"No, I do not associate myself with an archaic group such as Hydra," the man laughed, "I am Kang and I'll see you around and yes, you stay here in this year, good luck."

Andrew frowned as the man left in a shimmer and he blinked, Skeets looked around and said, "Hmmm that sounds a bit ominous."

"Yeah," Andrew said, "It is a bit ominous, isn't it?"

"But sir, we should find ourselves a place to live," Skeets said, "Perhaps a place in the suburbs, far from anyone who could be nosing in about your business."

"First," Andrew said, "To the bank, let's see if the money is untouched."

Skeets simply nodded and they walked to the bank.

At the bank Andrew sighed as he had to sign several papers saying that he was Andrew Wells and he signed even more papers, Andrew was gratified to see that the money had been untouched as he had expected it to be but he had a thought that Warren would try something.

That brought a bitter taste in his mouth, Warren had been the first to notice Andrew's change after he got back and Warren didn't like the "disobedient streak" as he called it, he told Andrew that he was through with the friend thing with him and then he began to turn way nastier than he had thought Warren could be but Tucker, to his surprise, had come to his rescue and he broke Warren's nose.

After they finished at the bank Andrew looked at Skeets who said, "I have found a good home, I purchased it under the name Michael Jon Carter."

Andrew blinked and said, "Booster Gold's real name? Interesting idea."

"I thought so sir," Skeets said, "Now I'm purchasing furniture for the place."

"Be careful," Andrew said, "You don't want to catch a virus."

"I'll be careful," Skeets said, "And you'll need a job and a vehicle, I will help you with that soon."

"We must meet the real estate agent soon," Skeets said as he hid in Andrew's backpack and Andrew flew, heading towards the real estate office.

Skeets had amazed Andrew again because the robot had arranged everything for them through the internet: a home, a vehicle and a fully stocked fridge and all before he got there.

"Sir," Skeets said, "Money can be, at times, the most powerful thing on the world and right now we have enough to live comfortably."

Andrew blinked and said, "True but I have to get ready and, hmmm, can you find something about this guy Kang? I mean I wonder how far in the future he's from."

As Andrew landed the last of his stuff was brought in, he looked around and said, "Is this stuff in this year?"

Skeets looked around and said, "I think so."

Andrew mused and said, "Rather open, isn't it?"

"It is the style sir," Skeets said, "But the basement is where everything we need is at."

They walked down and Andrew saw several computers, Skeets landed down and said, "I can work with them and use them to monitor the timeline far more effectively than I could at your place."

Andrew grinned and said, "Well, we should plan and, hmm, what about the targets that Hydra were after?"

An image appeared, "The temporal anomalies are here too sir," Skeets said, "But they are just observing for now and from what I can see they aren't after their targets and here is an image of Tony Stark."

"Handsome guy," Andrew said, "So are they still working on weapons?"

"No, Stark Industries quit building them a few years after we teleported to the future," Skeets said, "Stark Industries is now currently working in various areas."

Andrew frowned and said, "Let's try to get a job there, one where I don't have to work under the boss, something definitely as far away from the boss as possible."

"We shall see tomorrow," Skeets said, "But for now relax."

Somewhere in the future

Meanwhile Kang sighed and said, "Wells has no idea what's coming."

"Hmmm," another voice said, "He won't fight alone, you know this but it has to happen as this is part of history and even we may come to blows with Wells.

Kang simply nodded and said, "I have to keep an eye on him because Loki is attacking soon, I wonder if some of his old friends will recognize him for who he is?"

The other man simply laughed and said, "That will happen soon. Yes, let us watch for the boy's fate is yet to be set in stone."

TBC

Should Steve meet up with Andrew? Should he recognize Andrew? How will he react when he finds out that Andrew is a time traveler?

How will Kang affect Andrew's ability to time travel? Will he be friend or foe? Who is the mystery man that Kang was talking to?

Should the Scooby gang find out about Andrew being able to time travel?
