Chapter Twenty-One

Once again, my tests end in failure. Seanna is fine, as long as she doesn't change into anything too large, while I am still pretty much powerless.

I sigh, "I am really getting tired of this. It's plainly obvious I don't have anything wrong with me. Why do we still do this?"

Bruce says, "Because, we don't know why nothing is wrong, and we don't know for how long that will last."

"I really think this is pointless," I complain, sliding off the table.

Seanna speaks up, "I can see what she's saying. It really does look like she's perfectly okay."

Peter states, "We know that, that's why we keep doing these tests. We need to find out why she's perfectly okay."

"Well, until then," I stretch, "I'm going to make sure Loki doesn't try to kill Sara."

"I got your back, bae," Seanna follows me out. When we get there we see Loki has a very confused look on his face. This could only mean one thing.

"Sara, tell me you didn't," I face palm.

She just grins at me, "I did!"

Seanna states, "I'm confused, what did she do?"

"She showed Loki Homestuck," I deadpan, "Sara, in what world did you go to to make you think that was a good idea?!"

"This one!" she responds cheekily.

I turn to Loki, "I am very sorry about that. It seems I have to make a few more rules for her."

"Aw, come on, no more rules!" she whines.

"It seems as though you are the one in control," Loki chuckles.

"Not really. I mean, I guess I was, but now Seanna is here, and she's the closest thing to an adult we have," I explain.

"Nope, you keep doing your thing. Be the responsible one for once," Seanna waves her hand at my comment.

"Alright then," I blink, then turn back to Loki, "Yes, I am the one in charge."

"You really do not trust me?" he asks me, a laugh still evident in his voice.

I reply, "Nope. Sorry, not going to trust someone who destroyed half of New York."

"Fair enough," he conceded, "Now, explain exactly what your predicament is. I'll need every detail if I'm to help you with this."

"Well," Sara begins, "We don't really know what happened. Mandy and I woke up in a dumpster and later got involved in a fight with the Juggernaut. I fought him and found out I got cool tech powers."

"We joined the Avengers and after Bruce, Hank, Tony, and Peter ran some tests, we found out we were emitting gamma radiation, which is why Sara has powers. We're still trying to figure me out, as you could tell," I continue, "But we also found out the more Sara uses her powers, the more dangerous she becomes. So that's where we are now."

He turned to Seanna, "And you?"

"I dunno, man, I just got here. I was at Falcon's place when I found out I could shapeshift. Then I came here and found out if I turn into any large animal, I can blow up," Seanna tell him.

"Very interesting," he muses, "Well, I'd have to say the Tesseract is involved in some way."

"But, I thought the Tesseract was taken to Asgard," I cut in, confused.

"And so it was," he acknowledges, "However, it is not incorrect to assume it might have been taken."

"Dude, wouldn't someone know by now if the Tesseract was taken?" Sara asks.

He admits, "Well, yes, but stranger things have happened before. For all we know, it might have been taken and replaced with an exact replica." That seems a little suspicious. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Well, that's one theory," Sara stretches, "I'm going to go get another pop-tart."

"I thought we ran out," I mention, slightly confused.

She responds, "Pepper went out and got more."

"Wait, you got to meet Pepper?" I exclaim.

"Nah, Tony told me she came by with more pop-tarts," she says, "And I'm going to go make one." She starts walking off, Loki trailing after her.

"Don't fight Thor over Pop-Tarts again!" I call after her.

"No promises," she yells back.

"She fought Thor over a Pop-Tart?" Seanna asks.

"Lemme fill you in," I explain everything that happened to her.

"Okay, I think I get it now. Damn, you guys weren't bored at all, were you?" she states.

"Nah, we got to meet a lot of our favorite superheros, and now one of our favorite villains. I almost don't want to go back home," I sigh.

"Yeah, back home kinda sucks," Seanna agrees, "But you really wanna go back there?"

"We don't belong here, bae," I say, " That's what I've been saying ever since we got here."

"I dunno, I mean, two out of the three of us have powers now," she comments, "I don't think we belong there either."

"Well, we don't know when we're leaving. They haven't found a way yet," I tell her.

"Apparently, it was a one- way transporter," she brings up, "Do we know if there is a way back?"

"No, no we don't," I admit, "But if anyone can find one, it's the Avengers. I have full faith they will find a way to bring us home."

"What if by then you don't want to go home?" She questions.

I whisper, "I'll just have to suck it up, then, won't I?"

"I suppose so," she conceded, "Now, what point in time is this? What's happened?"

"Well, it seems to be a combination of the movies and comics, so the line up is a bit different," I begin, "I think that it might either be after the Phase Two line up or right before it. But it's probably neither and it's a completely different universe entirely."

"That seems to be the case," Seanna agrees, "After all, some of these characters don't appear in the movies. And let's not forget what happened to Quicksilver-"

I cut her off, "SHHH!" But it's too late, Pietro comes zooming in and catches what Seanna said.

"What happened to me?" he asks.

I answer quickly, "Nothing you need to worry about! Just something that happened in our world, but clearly didn't happen here." He just shrugged and zoomed off again.

"No more talking about Avengers' fates, okay?" I hiss quietly.

"Okay," she agrees, nodding her head.

WELL THAT WAS THAT! I guess this counts as another filler chapter, but I think there was something there. Maybe.

Justin: I think her brain was fried while she was writing this.

Me: ... Rude.
