The world was in absolute chaos, that was the only way Peggy could explain the scene. Large aliens of some sort patrolled the streets.

Steve froze. His eyes wide. "Where are we?" He demanded.

Even if the buildings were rubble she could tell it was London, probably the early twenty-first century.

One of the aliens grabbed a woman with bright red hair and began herding her into one of the few remaining buildings. The woman let loose a high-pitched scream. Peggy and Steve both glanced at each other silently agreeing they were going to help her before stepping into the shadows.

They stayed in the shadows, never taking their eyes off the building the red-haired woman had been dragged into. They watched as the aliens paced in front of the buildings. Steve easily figured out their rotation pattern after two minutes.

"Now." He whispered as the path cleared. They sprinted across the streets, dogging rubble as they went. "Those are Chitauri." Steve hissed as they darted behind a large pile of dirty bricks with glass shards mixed in. Another group of soldiers passed by. Steve counted to five and they darted into the building.

Peggy and Steve slide off to the side of the entrance and took in the crowd. There were several cots on the floor but not enough to accommodate the massive amount of people. They were all covered in dirt, and their hair hung limply. Some mothers or older sibling clung to young children. Sometimes a Chitauri would grab someone and take them into another room. Peggy decided not to dwell on what happened next.

She glanced up at Steve and could tell he was trying to figure out a plan. Peggy's mind whirled trying to figure out a way they could save everyone without knowing more information. Steve's brow furrowed and he frowned.

Out of the corner of Peggy's eye she saw a glimpse of blonde hair weaving her way through the crowds. Rose, she realized. Peggy watched Rose slowly make her way to the exit. She peered out the doorway before turning and climbing up a stairwell facing Peggy and Steve. Peggy was surprised no one noticed the blonde.

Peggy nudged Steve before darting up the stairwell with Steve close behind her. The top of the building was the same rubble as everywhere else. This was the only roof that remained intact in this general area, Peggy noted. Rose glanced behind her as Steve and Peggy appeared.

"Peggy?" Rose's eyes widened as she pulled knotted blonde-hair into a pony tail.

"Care to explain what's happening?" Peggy asked. Rose grinned. She opened a door that was mostly hidden by bricks before glancing back up at them.

"Coming?"


The room was the exact opposite of the scene outside. Peggy couldn't help but grin when she realized it was The Doctor's Clone and Rose's Tardis. She glanced up at the coral, the inside had the same yellow glow as the tenth regeneration's Tardis. The only difference was the amount of sleeping mats on the metal grating.

"She isn't as big as the original." Rose explained. "So some of them used to sleep out here." Peggy nodded, concerned about the past tense. Steve's eyes landed on the only other person in the room, a dark figure huddled up against the far wall.

The figure slowly stood, his face covered in shadows. The man slowly approached them, Peggy easily noticed his left leg was injured due to his limp.

"Loki," Steve breathed.

"I thought we agreed, Rose." Loki whispered faintly.

Rose shook her head. "Oi, I didn't bring you here to be unfriendly." She muttered.

Loki gave a faint chuckle before studying them. He arched an eyebrow at the barely visible costume Steve wore. The two men stared at each other, Steve in shock and Loki curiously returned his gaze. Steve's eyes fell on Peggy.

"Loki died. Why is he here?" His mouth opened and closed as if wanting to add more.

"Steve," Peggy whispered softly. Unsure of how to explain the mess they're in. "We're in a parallel universe." And the Tardis is probably dying due to all the energy it took to get us here, She added silently.


Please let me know how I can improve my writing. And if there's anything you want added to the plot tell me and I'll try my best to work it in!
