A/N: Life sucks, sometimes. That's all I got to say. When everyone is having "Summer fun", I'm stuck studying for some school entrance exam. And NOW is official my break. I don't know when I'll update, so yeah...Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic or Avengers and yadda yadda yadda, you know the drill.
Today was a weird day. First the accident with the Emeralds, Shadow collapsing, and now said person (potentially) losing his memory. But hey, it could've been worse, am I right? Vector and Charmy left a while ago, so that leaves Rouge, Knuckles and Amy sitting on the couch of Tails's living room; Sonic tapping his foot impatiently a few feet away; Silver looking down at the ground in shame, thinking this all happened because of him while Blaze tried to comfort him; Cream and Cheese watching TV on the ground. All were expecting Tails coming out with some info. And an hour passed by before Tails actually stepped out:
"About time Tails, I was starting to worry the Emeralds knocked Shadow into a coma." Stated Sonic, with a grin on his face.
"So sugar, what exactly happen to our resident Ultimate Life Form?" Asked Rouge, cocking her head so she could looked at Tails. She's probably the most worry about Shadow out of them all.
"Well...I got some bad news, the Chaos Emeralds DID do something to Shadow. According to my calculations, the Chaos Emeralds had somehow transfer his mind to another living host, and unintentionally taking their place." Tails said, giving the group a few seconds to let the information sink in.
"And...that other host took Shadow's place here." He said again. Silence fell for a what felt like hours. When suddenly...
"WHAT!? How is that even POSSIBLE!? The Chaos Emeralds are powerful, but this is the first time I heard about it having the ability to SWAP MINDS! Are you entirely sure about this!?" Exclaimed Knuckles, rising from his seat.
"Hey hey Knux, calm down. My little buddy is NEVER wrong about things like this. And beside, their aren't called the Chaos Emeralds for nothing. I'm sure it's just a something we didn't know about." Said Sonic, stepping in between Tails and the ever-approaching echina.
"I know it's hard to believe, but from what I've gather from "Shadow's" brain activity, I'm positive that this is the case." Said Tails.
"Maybe it's easier to believe if we see this ourselves. Tails, be a dear and get our "guess", would you?" Pipe in Rouge, hands cross. She too, was skeptical about this, but the things she've seen should really make her expect the unexpected.
"Well, I was planning on doing that anyway. You can come out now, miss Romanoff!" Shouted Tails, looking at the door to the lab. And lo and behold, "Shadow" stepped out. Everyone (ignoring the name) didn't find anything wrong with "him", until they look down to "his" feet.
"Miss Romanoff, why are wearing Sonic's shoes!?" Exclaimed Tails, hands covering his mouth in shock. Despite knowing this wasn't Shadow, it was still weird.
"The ones that I wore before has some sort of rocket mechanism that I can't seem to turn off. Not wanting to launch myself every time I take a step, I took them off and found some regular shoes for me to wear." Calmly explained Natasha, arm crossed with a bored expression. With things now making sense(or as much sense as it can get), Nat was now calm and can think clearly.
Amongst the Mobians, there was a dreadful silence. Nobody dare to make a sound. Well, all except...
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Sonic began to laugh hysterically, rolling on the floor. It took a few second for them to comprehend what was going on, and minutes before Sonic calmed down.
"Oh! I'm...sorry. It's just...weird seeing Shadow...in my shoes." Said Sonic, out of breath and wiping tears from his eye. "Now I REALLY know you're not Shad. With or without memories, he wouldn't be caught dead wearing those."
"Glad I can make you day." Out came Natasha, with a hint of sarcasm.
"And no complaints about the nickname. Yup, you're definitely someone else." Said the (in Nat's opinion, annoying like Tony) blue heghehog named Sonic.
"Can these...creatures really help me get back to my body?" Thought Natasha. These thing act like teenagers than anything else(kids, in Cream's case). Well, if they're useless, she can simply escape and find a way by herself, no biggie. Body or no, she wasn't the worlds most dangerous assassin for nothing.
"Okay, now with that out of the way, how about we introduce ourselves to her." Tails pipe in, gesturing everyone.
"Wait a minute, I've notice you keep using "miss" and "her". You mean to tell me..." Amy spoke, finally joining this conversation.
"Yes, my full name is Natasha Romanoff. I'm a woman and work for an organization called S.H.I.E.L.D as one of their top agents." Explained Nat, without hesitation. Her secret was out to the world when HYDRA was discovered infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D, so why should she hide it now? On a different planet and/or dimension, no less.
"S.H.I.E.L.D? Well, isn't that a coincidence. Shadow works for G.U.N as their agent here. The names Rouge the Bat, Shadow's(now, to an extent, your) partner in crime." Rouge said, stepping closer with hands on her hips.
"The name's Sonic, Sonic the Heghehog!" It's Sonic turn to talk, giving her his signature thumbs up.
"Knuckles the Echina. Guardian of the Master Emeralds. It basically controls the Chaos Emeralds, that things that SUPPOSEDLY swap your mind." As you can see, he's still not believing this whole mind-swap thing.
"Hi there! I'm Amy Rose, and it's so nice to finally meet another girl. I'll make sure you have the greatest time here, as long as you stay away from my Sonikku.~" Amy was staring at Sonic the whole time, causing said heghehog to sweet-drop.
"Hello, my name is Silver the Heghehog, I'm...the one responsible for this little mishap. It wasn't intentional, and I hope you can forgive me." Silver lowered his head in shame, not bothering to look up and met Natasha's gaze when they set on him.
"It's alright, accidents happened. Sometimes very frequently." Nat said, with a small smile to reassure the white heghehog. Silver looked a little better, while sonic commented:"Wish I brought a camera." in the background.
"And I am Blaze, princess of the Sol Dimension." Royalty from another dimension, why does that sound familiar?
"Greeting Miss Romanoff, my name is Cream, and this is Cheese the Chao." The smale blue "Chao" in Cream's hands gave a little "Choo choo" to Nat. Said person smile, and knelt down to Cream's level.
"Very nice to meet you Cheese, and you too Cream." She replied, slight patting her head. Cream giggle from the touch, before going back to watch TV.
"Well, now that everyone is well-informed, why don't get to the matter at han..." Tails was about to say something until...
"We interupt this program for some BREAKING NEWS! The notorious Doctor Eggman is attacking Station Square!" The show Cream was watching quickly turn into the news report, cutting Tails off. Suddenly "AUGH!" there was static, and shortly went back to reveal one of Sonic's enemies, doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik.
"Greeting Sonic, if you're watching this then as you can see, I'm taking over Station Square! And this time I made sure you can't stop me! But if you want to try, go ahead. It would be the most amazing show I'll ever see! The "Fastest thing Alive", trembling at my feet, begging for mercy! HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!" Eggman spoke, with his signature laugh, cocky as ever. The screen turn black, and the group was silence.
"Looks like Eggman's up to his old trick, again." Sonic was smirking. "Now would be good time to stretch my legs."
"Can someone please tell me who the hell was that?" Nat asked, and everyone else had a bored expression. That man on the screen was definitely human. And another to add to her list of "weird things about this place".
"Oh, that's just Eggman. He's just some guys that's tries to take over the world. But my Sonikku stops him everytime. That's actually how we met. Eggman kidnapped me but then Sonic save me..." Then Amy went from telling about Eggman to fawning over Sonic to telling sick love stories that Natasha couldn't care less about in a span of 10 seconds.
"Don't worry, I'll just have to teach Egghead a lesson. B r B." And with that, Sonic zoomed of, leaving a blue blur passing by, and nearly knocking Natasha off her feet.
"So he's fast, I'll have to take a note of that." Natasha thought.
"Don't worry, Sonic is more than capable of dealling with Eggman." Said Tails, looking at the spot Sonic was seconds ago.
"I can see that." She said.
"Well, while we wait. Why don't you hit the showers, honey? You did tumble down a hill and slam face-first into a cliff, after all." Now that Rouge said that, she did feel a little messy, and covered in dirt.
"Bathroom's upstairs, to the left of the hallway. I just stock the cupboards with towels, so you'll be fine." Tails pointed out the way to the bathroom. Nat wasted no time, proceeds to go upstairs.
"This will be easier than I thought. I hope this "Shadow" person doesn't get on their nerves." She thought, reaching her destination.
A/N: Phew! Another one down! I think this is my longest one yet. So R&R, and I'll see ya real soon. Oh! And one more thing, anyone knows how to deal with glitches? Just asking.
