Stark, Cap, Strange, Rory, Chrys, Quincy and Niles stood around the table. Strange had patched up Niles's ribs and run almost a million tests on me. He had concluded that I was alive, which I could have just told him.
Peter hadn't let go of my hand since he first took it, and I didn't want him to.
"Strange, what is going on?" Steve commanded. "Why do the kids have powers?"
"So, our current theory is that the reality stone is combining our two realities. The children were the first pulled over, but it's been becoming increasingly common. There was a week between Miss Lewis and Rory arriving, but only two days between Quincy and Alex. The residual energy from the transfers gave them all powers."
"Why did we not know about this sooner?" Tony fitled with his phone.
"I kept them in my sanctum for training." Strange did not seem to regret anything.
"So you kidnapped them." Steve growled.
"As I said, I trained them."
"Sounds like kidnapping." I mumbled.
"Kids, go to bed. Peter, make sure you call May." Tony ordered.
We didn't go to bed.
However, we did raid the kitchen, then we all hung out in Peter's room.
"What happened, exactly, in the garden?" Rory gnawed on a piece of jerky.
"Yeah, what did the man who attacked you look like?" Quincy prompted.
"No, not that." A gleam appeared in Rory's eyes. Niles giggled.
"Piss off." I glared at them.
"The reality stone guy's powers didn't seem to work on Alex." Peter avoided the direction the conversation was being steered.
"That's because we have its energy inside us." Chrys rummage through the bag of combos.
Everyone stared her.
"Go on." I prodded. She looked up.
"Well, it's obvious isn't it?" No one answered. She sighed. "The reality stone pulled us here. It's excess energy gave us power, so naturally it recognize us as part of it and it wouldn't harm itself."
"Obviously." Quincy nodded as if he knew this all along.
"Duh." Rory grumbled.
"Shit!" I sat forward.
"What?" Peter stared at me, alarmed.
"What day is it?" Times seem to be a little different here.
"Thursday, June 14, 2018." He answered. I sighed in relief.
"Wait, why aren't you in school?" Chrys seemed interested or at least she was now looking at us.
"School ended last week" Peter answered.
"But I saw you going to school, that's where we met." I pointed out.
"Oh, yeah. I was just going to pick up some stuff from my locker, today was the first day it was open over the summer. Apparently a bunch the staff went on holiday." He explained. "Anyways, May let me stay at the compound this summer."
"Does she know you're Spider-Man?" I asked.
"Like you saw, she caught me with the suit on. She's not happy about it, but she's letting me continue hero-ing."
"Aren't you supposed to call her?" Quincy reminded him.
"Oh, yeah." Peter pulled out his phone and press the call button. Rory pressed speaker.
"Hello?" A woman's voice came from the other end.
"Hi." Rory said quickly before Peter could.
"Who is this?" May asked.
"Sorry, May." Peter glared at Rory. "That was my friend."
"It sounded like a girl. Peter, are you with a girl?"
"Three, actually." Quincy grinned.
"Does Chrys count?" Rory 'reasoned'.
"Three girls?" May sounded impressed. "I'm surprised."
"It's not like that!" Peter cried frantically. His face is burning.
"Ouch." I smiled.
"That's not what I meant." He looked to be on the edge of panic.
"Why did you say 'ouch'?" Rory's eyebrow raised.
A knock sounded on the door, and it opened. Shuri stood in the doorway.
"Got to go, May, a Wakanan princess just showed up." Peter blurted.
"Wha-?" Peter hung up.
"Hey, guys." Shuri moved into the room and hopped onto the bed with us. Peter and her first bumped.
"Yes!" I jumped with happiness, falling off the bed.
"What was that? Peter asked. Grinning, I picked myself up from the floor.
"Well, the entire Fanbase for Marvel really, really wants you guys to be friends. Oh, has Shuri met Michelle?"
"No," Peter shook his head. "I still have a secret identity."
"I'm surprise she hasn't figured out yet." Niles shrugged.
"You're a Disney princess." I remembered. "Everyone's favorite. Disney owns Marvel, and you're a princess so… tada."
"Cool." Shuri grabbed the Doritos from Quincy's lap.
"What is everyone doing?" Tony's voice came from the doorway. We turned a look at him. I noticed that Peter looked scared.
"N-nothing." Peter stuttered.
"It's late. One of you died today. One of you broke your ribs. The rest are you experienced a traumatic loss, whatever. Go to your own rooms and go to sleep." Stark spun and strutted away.
This time Tony ordered Friday not to let us out of our rooms.
I sat on my bed, legs crossed, debating whether or not I could get Chrys to bring my writing into this reality.
A red light flashed and alarms rang through the room. "Friday, what's going on?" I hopped off my bed.
"The avengers are needed. There is an attack in Washington DC" She responded.
"By what?" I demanded.
"It appears to be an army of dragons."
"Seriously?" I grinned, then remembering myself, I turned serious. "How can I help?"
"You can't."
"What?" I pressed the button that was supposed open the door. Nothing happened.
"Mr. Stark has forbade me from letting anyone under the age of 18 from their rooms." Friday didn't sound too apologetic.
"Oh, come on. He supposed to be cool." I groaned.
"There was a message left for you." A screen flashed to life on the door. It was a view of Tony sitting in the cockpit of the quinjet. Cap stood behind him. H
"Hey kids, we are off to save the president." He seemed excited.
"Ew, Trump." I sneered.
"The president is Alyssa MacArthur." Friday informed me.
"I love this universe."
"We're leaving you guys behind because, well, you're grounded." I frowned. "While we're gone, don't do anything I wouldn't do, and definitely don't do something I would do. There's a small gray area in there and that's where you operate." Did he seriously just quote himself?
The screen disappeared.
I tried the button again, nothing.
Hopefully I won't have to pay for this.
Taking a deep breath, I dug my fingers into the metal of the door. It was surprisingly easy. I pulled the door away from the frame. On the other side stood a surprised looking Quincy.
"How did you get out of your room? I tossed the door to the side.
"The door open when I told it too." He shrugged.
"So you hacked it?" I stared at him.
"With my mind, so yeah, I guess." He moved to Peter's door and opened it via the button. Peter fell to the ground as if he had been trying to pry open the door.
"Hi, guys." He picked himself off the floor. He wore his suit.
"I'm guessing you also want to help me Avengers?" I commented.
"Technically, I am an Avenger, so…" I could tell he was grinning under the mask.
"Come on, Bug Boy." I moved to Rory's room and pulled off the door. Rory stood behind it, looking annoyed.
"Finally." She stepped out past me.
"You're welcome." I grumbled.
A blue portal opened next to me. Chrys stepped out of it, and it closed behind her.
"I thought your portals were red."
"Only when I travel through realities. It's much easier to jump around the same plane of existence." She wore her sorcerer gear.
"Cool."
"How are we going to meet up with the Avengers?" Niles stepped from his Quincy-opened the room. The bandage around his torso was gone. I guessed he got a healing factor as part of his powers.
"We can take a quinjet." I suggested.
"This way." Quincy began to move for the elevator. "I can sense them."
"That's normal." Rory mumbled.
Quincy shot a glance back at her.
