Avengers, or what's left of them at this point.

Jackie, Tony, Keira, Steve, Nick Fury and Maria Hill stood in the main room of the helicarrier, the four Avengers sitting solemnly around the glass table.

"I guess he never did get you to sign these." Director Fury tossed the vintage cards onto the table in front of the Captain. Both the teenagers thought it a little harsh, though necessary, that's why they definitely weren't going to mention that he survives and get's a while new television series for himself. There was blood splatter on the cards, really even knowing he was still alive... Gods it felt like he needed to be avenged.

The whole 'yes we were going to build an arsenal conversation' went on as it did in the movie. By now Keira and Jackie had worked out roughly where everyone was, at least it the course of events had changed too dramatically. Jackie, Keira, Steve and Tony were on the helicarrier (obviously) as well as Fury and Hill. Coulson who wasn't important right now was off getting some serious medical treatment. Leah and Romanoff were with Alaw and Clint getting their head injuries checked out. The poor things, it must have been horrible to be possessed. Clint by Loki and Alaw by Jessica. Keira shuddered at the very thought, the brains of those two were like a bag of cats, they were completely insane, really, to try and take over the world you had to be at least 87% crazy, that was a given. Jessica and Loki were off soemwhere preparing for the battle, so that either meant in some van or at Stark Tower enjoying a drink. Damn, Jackie could do with a drink right now.

Cora and Bruce by now would be on their way to new York after landing in the warehouse, and Thor et Alanna would be in some field after being thrown out of the helicarrier in the supposedly hulk-proof cage.

Keira couldn't understand how Alanna managed to get herself stuck in that cage too, the Coulson 'death' scene was a big part of the movie, because he was an awesome agent, and because it had a lovely brotherly bonding moment how could she not have remembered how things went? Seriously, when it came to those two tricksters they were all for cunning, nothing was ever as straight forward as you could hope with them.

The helicarrier was a bit of a mess at the moment, navigation was down, most of the electronics were down. The engines were keeping them up but still needed repairs finished to it, there were gaping holes on certain decks. Many of the agents had been taken down to ground level now, others brought up to help with the work. But mostly people were preparing for the battle.

Alaw

Alaw woke up and immediately noticed the pounding in her head.

"Fuck, who the hell hit me?" She asked, squeezing her eyes shut as she came to her senses. Suddenly she remembered everything that had come to pass and a sense of guilt came over her, she wan't a killer, never had been... Until now. How many people were now waiting to be buried because of her and Clint, oh God, queue panic attack. "How many?" Alaw asked nervously to no one in particular.

"No, you two, don't do that to yourselves." A voice called from somewhere near, where had she heard that voice before?

"Hey Alaw, you alright?" Alaw heard a second voice and quickly realized it was Leah.

"You punched me!" She shouted, trying to get up but getting a bit dizzy and deciding maybe she could spare a minute or two, after all she was a now fourteen year old who was apparently in one of her favourite movies, then possessed by someone she'd called a friend along with her psycho boyfriend and to finish it off was attacked by Leah, the mini Black Widow, could this get any worse.

"Really, that's what you focusing on here? Come on Alaw, concentrate, we're going to be battling an alien army soon!" Leah practically squealed. So apparently, yes, this could get worse, though it actually sounded pretty fun.

"What?... Wait? What are you doing here?" Alaw looked up, her vision cleared by now. She was sitting in a small-ish room, Leah on her right, Clint on her left and the person who most likely owned the first voice next to him. Who just happened to be Black Widow. Alaw hadn't really had very long to marvel at the fact she was in the freakin Avengers movie because she'd 'materialized' as you will in the underground base next to Hawkeye, she had quickly hidden, long enough to listen in to some of the conversation going on, but it seemed her presence had been known all along because she was called out moments later and the glow stick of destiny was filling her head with stuff, most she couldn't hope to understand.

This would have normally been the moment that Leah would have burst out and try and cram everything into about five seconds, making it impossible for her to understand but instead she just smirked and gestured for Alaw to follow her.

Glancing at Clint and deeming him okay to be left alone with Natasha, Alaw followed Leah out of the door, letting them have their clintasha moment. They two walked down a number of corridors that all looked pretty similar, though some were damaged, others were not. Finally they reached what Alaw recognised to be the bridge of the helicarrier, seated around a table (in order) was Tony, Jackie, Keira, Steve, Director Fury standing at the head, Maria Hill and now Leah and Alaw.

"How did we get here?" She asked, looking towards Jackie, that was the thing Alaw was most confused about, one didn't just simply disappear from a classroom in school to land in a Marvel movie.

"Well.-" Jackie started, looking purposely towards Alaw. "-I can't be sure, but... You know the box?"

"The crappy one?" Alaw furrowed her brows in confusion.

"What!? no, don't diss it. from what we've gathered it seems to be something Norse, you know since Jessica was all like 'oh look at this, Yggdrasil, runes, blah blah blah' and the inscription it may well have been the box of fates." Jackie nodded knowingly.

"The what?" Alaw replied feeling completely out of the loop, what on earth was the box of fates?

"The box of fates." Jackie repeated slowly, accentuating every syllable. "Basically, it's this box, that gives you a push when it comes to beginning the path that was set for you. Probably belongs to the Norns, since they are the keepers of fate. I've heard of it a few times in mythology, appearing in Greek, Egyptian (A/N: Yeah, I'm making this all up, if there really is something like this in mythology it's purely by chance I've 'created' something so similar.) and countless others, though only very rarely. Basically if you need a kickstart to get where you're supposed to be, it swoops in and, well the rest is history." Of course Jackie would be the one who knew that, her Jessica and Alanna were always looking at some sort of myth, legend or conspiracy, though up until recently Alaw had thought it was all a load of crap.

"Wait... Does that mean our destiny is to be the Avengers! Because that is AWESOME!" Then Alaw remembered from watching the movie that this was most likely the 'Coulson just died' scene and muttered a sorry. That wasn't awkward at all, but it was still a valid point. If the box had led them here, and they'd all turned up right beside the Avengers and inherited their powers and weapons (as well as outfits) then it obviously meant something. Were they supposed to be the successors for the Avengers or something? Then again that led on to the fact that as well as the powers they were transported into an alternate reality, did that mean they couldn't go back home again? Being that this was like a parallel reality or something did that mean there was another version of everyone here? There were so many questions running through Alaw's mind, and probably through the rest of the seven too.

"The mortal, Erik Selvig, has readied the portal." Came a voice through the comms, Loki quickly relayed this to The Other. "You're army better be ready." The reply:

"It is time." Was said with an almost insane glint in the creature's eye. Yes, it was time, time to rule Midgard.

(A/N: I know, it's a short update, but better than nothing. Needed to get this uploaded before it was automatically deleted from my drafts. The next update should be longer, after all, it's the battle of New York!)
