"Got your flashlight over there." Tony said entering his work shop.

"Thank you for not destroying it."

Niobe grabbed her blade and attached it to her belt.

"Would you like to go out and see our planet at some point?"

"I would." Niobe said standing beside him and looking at the wreckage. "Can any of it even be saved?"

"You tell me."

"It's not a new model. It was made before the war. I never cared too much for flying, Anakin was the one who knew it all. He could fix anything."

"What's your plan if you make it back?" Tony said releasing a mapping hologram around the ship.

"I-"

"Because you will need a plan."

"Well, I guess I would need to find my master."

"Master?" Tony asked as he read the stats.

"He trained me, he is a master Jedi. Well, more like he's The master Jedi. What about your world? You've asked so much about mine but I am clueless about yours."

"What's to know? You think you have problems in your galaxy, we can't even elect officials without there being a riot on either side. It's complete chaos here. Trust me, you don't want any part of it."

Niobe frowned

"How were the Avengers formed?" She asked pulling away pieces of her ship that was beyond saving.

"It's a really long story."

"And it seems I have nothing but time." She said with a grunt, "please, share."

Tony moved over to the women who was looking over at the holograms. He sat beside her, leaning on his palm unsure of what he was getting into.

"Well, I would love to think I started it all but unfortunately the big guy in blue back there was the first. Although some would argue for Thor, he is technically older. Anyway, Steve is what we called Captain America. Earth was at war for a second go round-"

"Your planet was at war?"

"I told you, we have issues."

"Can't say I'm terribly surprised. I'm sure there are many planets that deal with war internally."

Tony nodded with pursed lips.

"So after Steve was frozen for a good many years, I created my suit and became Iron man. Bruce became the Hulk, the master assassins, and the rest all joined to protect our planet from the rest of the universe."

Niobe gave a quick tip of her head in understanding of the story. She respected his honesty.

The pair started working, hoping that they were actually making the correct changes. They worked in silence until the sun was gone and Tony looked as though he was going to pass out. Niobe could feel his low energy as well as his ambition. She told him they needed to stop and go to sleep. Tony agreed and dropped his tools.

"I can show you to your room."

Niobe nodded and followed him down the hall. Her room was only a few floors away, it was small but pleasing to the young Jedi. After Tony left, Niobe moved a pillow to the large window where she sat and gazed out at the city. Tony had called it New York, she found it similar to Coruscant and it helped her feel settled.

Meditation brought her sleep.

oooooooooo

Niobe woke to footsteps in her hall early at sunrise, it was Steve and his mind was filled with questions. Niobe rose to her feet and turned to face him as the door slid open.

"Good morning Steve, how are you?" Niobe said

His eyes widened in surprise as his fist lowered no longer needed to announce himself.

"I'm good…" He shook his head and moved forward to meet her. "How are you?"

"I am well, thank you. You have come for answers. You are lost and believe I can help fix your befuddled mind, correct?"

"I-I don't know."

Niobe laughed and gestured for him to sit down on a pillow beside hers.

"You are lost in this world, in this time; I can see it in you."

The man blushed but nodded as he took his seat. She too sat down and gave him a serene smile clearing his embarrassment, calming his body.

"You should not fear the changes you see, changes inspire growth and growth allows a civilization to excel. The technology you see feels frustrating but you only need to open your mind and let it in but do not let it control you. I can tell you are special and not because of the chemicals that gave you your strength."

"I have grown accustomed to the changes; I have lived in this new world for a few years now. My friends have helped but I feel-"

"Alone?"

Steve nodded.

"I would be shocked if you weren't."

"The modifications they made to my body, it frustrates me. It leaves me angry when I have no need to be."

"Your friend is coming." Niobe said turning and standing in time to see Tony walk in with her comm-link in hand.

"Hey, um, your little device her is beeping like crazy; thought it might be important." Tony said, handing Niobe the device and looking at Steve., "Hello Steven."

Niobe took the com-link and activated it. A hologram of Obi-Wan appeared and she could see the worry on his face.

"Niobe, I have received information of your survival. I have set up a place on Tatooine and hope that you will be able to locate me soon. Anakin has died and so has Padme. There is much we need to do. Come quickly."

The hologram faded in sounds of static and Niobe placed the com-link in her belt pocket.

"Who was that?"

"His name is Obi-wan, he was Anakin's master." Niobe said gripping the cloth of her pants. "I need to leave."

Niobe headed towards the door, she needed to help him. Her ships repairs would need to speed up.

"Niobe, wait."

Tony grabbed a hold of her arm and she succumbed to the gesture. His eyes were full of concern, she could feel his worry.

"I have to leave Tony, I do not belong here."

"Your ship isn't even ready." He argued releasing her arm.

"It will be soon, my work needs to be focused on that. I am needed on Tatooine."

"You can stay here, you can help our galaxy grow in the way that yours has."

"Tony, you cannot ask that of me. You know it is unfair. I will do what I can while I am here."

Niobe, Tony, and Bruce had nearly finished the repairs on the space craft when and alarm went off in the tower. The two men dropped their tools on the desk nearby and walked to the intercom. Niobe watched as the talked about an alert they had received. Tony walked back over to her and she stood.

"We have a thing we need to go do. You know, kick some ass take some names." Tony said with a laugh, "Anyway, we were wondering if you might want to come along?"

Niobe nodded in agreement, she did, after-all, say she would help while she could. The man smiled and began telling her about the outfits and how amazing it will be to see her in action.

oooooooooooo

Niobe waited in the hanger where their aircraft sat. They came in one after one in outfits she couldn't help but find interesting. There was so much leather. She did stifle a laugh when she saw Steve despite the fact that he did look quite handsome.

"Where are we going?" Niobe asked as they began to walk up the ramp.

"A little country in the middle of nowhere." Tony said closing the opening in the ship and sitting down.

"What's the objective?"

"Take them out and come back safe and sound."

"They are harming your planet?" Niobe asked

"Yes, they have hurt a lot of people." Said Steve

"Then I am happy to aide you in your fight."

ooooooooooo

The landscape was very different from where Tony's tower sat. It was colder but she didn't mind. The wind howled and rugged at her braids. She glanced over at Steve, the group gathered around.

"We take care of this and we go home. Stay alive and finish the objective. You know what to do."

With that everyone dispersed moving deep into the woods. Niobe looked to Steve who still stood beside her.

"Stick with me."

The pair moved forward and Niobe searched for enemies ahead. The further the got the more on edge she became. Her mind was peering through every turn with the trees grey and jagged against the sky. Niobe looked to Steve who waved a hand over at a road on their left. Niobe nodded and used the force to push herself upwards into a tree. Her hand hovered over her blade and she crouched waiting for Steve's signal. Their language was strange and their weapons unique, she was certain they weren't going to fire lasers.

Niobe could see Steve moving in behind, he waved his hand out forward. Niobe jumped down in a spiral motion activated the light saber and removed their heads. Steve halted mid run and lowered his arms.

"I suppose you can handle yourself then." Steve said with a slight laugh.

"Your weapons are primitive and so are their defensive strategies. This should be an easy fight."

A bullet moved past and Niobe held out her hand shoving it aside. They continued moving through the woods and along the road. Steve let out an exclamation in surprise watching as she cleared the area with a grace he was unfamiliar with.

He hadn't moved until she called his name and shoved her hand out flinging him to the ground. The bullet struck Niobe's skin and she gritted her teeth. It was a foreign pain. It ripped through her side but she could tell it hadn't damaged anything. She gave a sharp grunt as she got back to her feet. The two leapt back into the fight protecting each other's back as the bullets flew.

"I've set up the device, we're good to go." Tony said before flying past them.

Niobe looked back to her surroundings, the ache in her side growing worse. A group was headed towards them. She gathered the strength she had left and slammed her hand to the ground. In a ripple the rough earth erupted throwing them back several yards, killing the majority. With that she dropped.
