Chapter 2: Meeting a Legend
Asgard 2552
Helena brought back the souls of the fallen warriors called Spartans. These 5 brave warriors at Thor's will would be sent back to the year 2012 to help prepare them for the Covenant. The mother of the youngest daughter of Stark mourned the loss of her child. Thor, bowed his head and looked at the AI that the young Stark carried "Athena, it brings a smile to my face to see that you are well." Thor said
"It is good to see you as well. Sarah, is as strong willed as the man who sired her. Though he is a decedent of Crossbones." Athena replied.
Thor nodded in agreement "Maybe she can save Crossbones from HYDRA, it is yet to be foreseen." said Helena.
The five Spartans rested their eyes closed, souls with in their bodies. The memories of their deaths fresh in their minds. They were chosen by Thor himself. He looked at Athena as Doctor Strange appeared form a past timeline at his father's request "Ah, Steven my old friend." Thor boomed
"Thor, are they ready?" asked Dr. Strange.
Thor nodded "They are, who is going where first?"
"I will take Sarah to Stark Tower then the other four to the Heilocarrier." Dr. Strange replied.
Thor nodded and looked at Sarah "She will be out for the next twenty-four hours, that should give brother Stark enough time to figure out who she is." Thor said
"Or Athena could give him a heart attack." said Loki with a mischievous grin on his face.
Thor looked at his brother and shook his head chuckling "Oh I think I will have fun with that." said Athena "Besides Sarah, can use old tech as well as this time period's tech."
Thor laughed then looked down at Sarah, as Doctor Strange took Sarah "Good luck Team of Noble, you are going to need it." Thor said.
Loki groaned "Starks descendent will most likely beat me with in an inch of my existence and I will no doubt deserve it."
Manhattan, New York Stark Tower Tony's POV
"Sir, an oddly robed dressed man just arrived with someone in armor." the voice of my AI Jarvis informed me.
I stopped working on my latest armor and looked up at the security footage of a man leaving. He left someone in armor, I looked at Pepper and got up and got in my current armor and went to see who this was.
When I entered the room Jarvis scanned the armor clad body "Sir, I am picking up an AI on board."
I got closer and leaned over "Jay, is it alive?" I asked
"She is alive sir…that's odd. Sir, I have pulled this woman's file." Jarvis said
"Show me." I said
Sarah Savannah Stark
B-312, Noble 6 of Noble team/ Agent Alaska Project Freelancer
April 24th, 2527
Manhattan, Earth
Mother: Amelia Breanna Stark, Former Agent Alaska Project Freelancer in a coma
Father: John 117 Spartan II United Nations Space Command
I was blown away, the woman before me was related to me! This girl from the future, what the hell was going on "Hello, Mr. Stark. I am Forerunner AI Athena assigned to Freelancer Agent Alaska, Sarah B-312 of NOBLE team." came a voice
"Jay?" I asked worried
"Sir, she means no harm." Jarvis
I nodded "Athena, is it?"
"I am, do you have a question?" she asked
"Is this for real?" I asked
"It is Mr. Stark. It would be a good idea for you to get her out of her armor and somewhere to sleep until she wakes up so I can explain things more in depth." Athena said
I began to remove her helmet and gasped. She looked like a younger version of my mother, but not quite there. Her cheekbones were higher like Peppers and her hair was darker. I helped remove the heavy armor and then "Jarvis could you please call Pepper." I asked.
I waited for Pepper as I took her into a spare room and looked at Pepper as she entered the room "What is…Oh my god. Tony lay her on the bed and I will get her into something more well…" Pepper broke off
"That isn't skin tight?" I asked
"Yes." Pepper said.
I left Pepper to change the girl as I picked up all the pieces of armor. When I got to the helmet I saw a chip and pulled it out and put on the table. Just then a beautiful woman appeared form the clear spot in the chip "Hello Mr. Stark. This is my Holo form. This allows you to see me. I am here to assist you in understanding the young woman that is in a bed in another room. She is your descendent. She is like every Stark when it comes to the smarts and the snark, but she is selfless and self-sacrificing a trait that she gets from her father. She is a super soldier like Captain Rogers. A last line of defense against a Alien force beyond all imaginings. Sarah laid down her live getting an AI off of a UNSC ship building planet called Reach." Athena said.
I watched all the footage of her younger years, this girl was raised by god damn Aliens. The same ones that she had to fight only to die by. She had seen so much war, so much death. This girl was only 25 and the last thing she saw was her mother and a former lover before she died. I looked in the direction of her room. I looked at her AI. The AI had served her mother after she had built the chip that currently housed the more advanced Artificial Intelligence unit. Just then Jarvis's voice came over the speakers of the lab "Sir, Sarah is awake."
"Thank you, Jarvis, inform Pepper to send her down here to the lab." I said as I continued to look at her armor how could my descendent wear this god-awful armor?
Sarah's POV
My head was killing me, I slowly opened my eyes and looked around my surroundings. This was to low tech, way low tech. I slowly sat up, flashes of what had happened on Reach. My death. I was dead. Wasn't I? Why was I breathing? Why did I have a heart beat? I slowly stood up and went into the bathroom. I was out of my armor and into a tank top and shorts. I looked out the window and saw no pelicans, no cars that I was familiar with, nor warthogs. Hell, there was no Phantom, Spirit, Corvette, or Soul Carrier in the skies. I was quickly put on alert as a voice came over the speakers above my hear "Good morning Ms. Stark." said a voice.
Spartans didn't scare, but I was still on my guard as the door opened revealing a tall lean blonde haired woman in a sharp cut business woman's skirt. She looked at me "I apologize if Jarvis, startled you." the woman said.
The woman was kind, I could just tell. I relaxed as the light bulb turned on in my head "Jarvis, was the AI of Tony Stark my great, great, great, great, to many great grandfather. This had to be my great grandmother Virginia 'Pepper' Potts. I looked at her up and down "I had a long month ma'am, I am on edge." I replied
"I would believe so." she said casually "Your AI is talking with Tony."
Athena was talking with Tony?! What the hell was she thinking? Pepper saw the look on my face "Is there something wrong?" she asked
"What is year is this?" I asked.
Pepper looked at me "2012." she said.
I looked at her "Ah, do you have anything else I could wear."
"Of course, I will be right back." Pepper said, "I am Pepper by the way."
I already knew who she was and I couldn't risk letting her know that I was related to her. Then it hit me like a blast from a fuel rod cannon, I was 500 years or so in the past. Since when was I or any Spartan for that matter capable of time travel?! As my mind raced I remembered seeing a light, a bright light the color of a rainbow. Then it hit me, it was the light from the Bifrost, the rainbow bridge. It was a gateway between the nine realms. What if it was a gateway between timelines? It would explain why I was in the year 2012 in Stark Tower, right before…Son of a bitch. The Chitari invasion! It was the first ever recorded alien attack on the earth hundreds of people hurt a couple of hundred dead. Was I sent into the past to help save the future? Was I sent into the past to get the Avengers?
Just then Pepper returned with a change of clothes. Bootcut low rise jeans, a AC/DC Highway to hell t-shirt and a pair of cowgirl black leather boots "Your about my size so these should fit you." Pepper said
"Thank you." I said.
Pepper smiled at me "Call me Pepper." she reminded me.
I nodded and said, "Then please Call me Sarah."
Pepper nodded and left the room closing the door so I could dress. All of this felt so surreal. I wish the rest of the team were here to see this. I missed them. Kat was my partner in crime, she was the Bucky to my Steve. The irony of it all. When I had finished getting dressed I left the room and met Pepper in the kitchen "Tony, is waiting for you in the lab. I will take you to him since he has asked to talk to you." said Pepper.
I nodded, this was going to be an experience for me. I mean I was about to meet a man who has been dead for damn near 500 years and I am one of the last of his bloodline and legacy. Just thinking about it made my head hurt. I followed Pepper into the lift and when we reached the floor Tony was on the doors opened "He is down the hall, he will be able to see you and open the door for you and you can see him of course." said Pepper
"Thanks Pepper." I said and walked down the hall.
The familiar music of AC/DC could be heard down the halls as Thunderstruck played. I smile came to my lips I always loved this song especially if I had a sniper rifle in my hands. I could see Athena in her Hologram state. She looked over and smiled at me and gave me a wave. Athena was the only thing close to a mother I ever had and she followed me throughout my life except when I went to ONYX to become a Spartan III only to be brought back into the Freelancers to serve a man who tried to murder my mother, because she fell in love. Tony turned down the music and looked at me a soft smile coming to his lips "You know for someone of my blood, you have shitty armor?" he asked
"Not my choice, ever since ONI took the possession of Stark Industries after my mother's 'Death' I can't even touch anything to modify my armor. Then again, they don't know I am a Stark. If they do then they would have wanted me dead so they could turn it into a weapon making plant again." I replied
"The Ark reactor, does it still run?" Tony asked
"Yep, it powers half the United States on its own." I replied.
Tony smiled and did a little happy dance, the same dance I would do when I pulled a prank on someone. Mostly Emile back on Reach when we had down time even though it wasn't much it was perfect "So, this stuff is made out of a titanium alloy and it is ridiculously heavy may I tell you." Tony pointed out
I shrugged my shoulders "ONI and their eggheads make the armor I just wear it though there are many different types of armor that a Spartan can wear I just like that combo. It was my mother's armor."
Tony nodded "Well I could find a way to make it more lightweight and easier for you to wear."
"As much as I would love that I will have to decline that offer I am one of the few that know how that system works because I made the system in it when I was in Freelancer." I explained.
I admit I hid the tech in my suit from ONI and their bullshit because I didn't want them stealing it or Athena. There was no way in HELL I would let them touch it. I was a fucking Stark not some shadow lurking bitch that stole shit from other people, well I really couldn't say that because I stole a lot of shit from ONI as a Freelancer. Tony nodded in approval "Not standard equipment for a Spartan, is it?" he asked
"Hell no." I said with a grin.
Athena looked at me as Tony handed her to me "You went through a lot kid, I am sorry about your mother too, and your team. They were the only family you really had weren't they?"
"They were. I miss them. Kat and I would always get ourselves and Thom into so much trouble in basic." I replied walking over to my armor.
Tony watched as I began to work on my Hyabusia armor. I started fixing damaged wires that weren't fix and began cleaning it before setting it and my skin suit aside "That didn't take you long at all."
"I am a Super Soldier, I can work faster though I know how you detest them. Tony, your father saw Captain Rogers as a brother more than anything and seeing Peggy who was like a sister to him just made it that much harder on him to find him. Trust me I blamed my father for what happened to my mother for the longest time. Then I found out that it was he that put her into that pod to save her life." I explained.
Tony looked at me shocked "Your 25 and you have the wisdom of an old person."
I laughed "Its who I am Tony, I can't help it."
I began to fabricate and wire a charging and changing station for my armor with help from Tony it took a whole 2 hours to complete I looked over at Tony who was being hit by Dumb-E and I couldn't help, but laugh. Athena appeared before me "Athena?" I asked
"Sarah, it has come to my attention that your not the only Spartan here. I have picked up the waypoints of Carter, Kat, Emile, and Jorge." Athena informed me
"Where are they?" Tony and I asked
"S.H.I.E.L.D has them." Said Athena.
Well that was just fucking great, Fury better not have done anything to hurt them.
Third person S.H.I.E.L.D Heilocarrier
In a holding cells, out of their armor which none of the science teams could get into saying a smart AI system was protecting them laid five humanoid people. Director Fury, couldn't inform the council on this. He wanted to find out who they were first. The biggest and oldest out of the group had to be the leader he guessed. He looked in on the four men and one woman, her robotic arm had to be removed for safety reasons. Like they could get out of a shielded cell? The first one of the five woke up, he looked around and his eyes landed on Fury "Who are you and how did you get onto my ship?" he asked.
The man looked at him "I am Commander Carter UNSC, how did I get here?" he asked.
Alright this guy was the leader then "UNSC?" Fury asked
"Commander, we are in a different timeline all togeather. We cannot reveal to much of the future." said the woman as she sat down leaning against the wall
"Yeah boss." said the one who wore the skull on his visor.
The final the one Fury mistaken for as the leader just watched him curiously "Sir, if I may what year is this?" the eldest asked
"2012." Fury replied
"Sir, we come from the year 2552. We are from 540 years from the future."
"So, you are human?" Fury asked
"No, we are meat popsicles." the bonehead said
"EMILE!" Carter snapped.
Fury looked at the Commander "What you tell me won't make it to the council." said Fury
"UNSC stands for United Nations Space Command sir. We are their Spartan Super Soldiers." Carter said
"Like Captain America?" Fury asked shocked
"Same principle on the Serum but a lot harsher." Carter explained.
Fury listened to what the commander told him after he was done Fury turned to leave and said, "I need a way into your armor, someone from the outside has it locked down. We can't confirm that you aren't a threat until then."
"Get the first Spartan ever made in here and let him decide." Carter said.
That was going to be easier said than done…
