Chapter Three: "Ghost Of a Chance"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Few Months after that Incident, Alisha's Kidnapping, Falcon and Malia's Joining on the Team, Alisha had Healed up Mostly, Still a Scar of the Burn From Phantom's Blast Still Laid On her Chest, It wasn't Very Visable, But it was Still there.
Today Falcon was Actually Being Shown around the Tower now that Everyone Else Including Malia had Settled In, His first Day as an Official Member of the Avengers.
and it Looked as if he was Gonna Be Late, "Great, After Months Of not Being in the Field, Falcon is Late, This Day is Going Wonderful!" Alisha Sarcastically Said, Throwing her Hands Up in the Air.
She walked Out to See, Natasha, Steve Or Captain America, Hulk and Thor in the Meeting Room, Tony wasn't there Probably Went to Go Find Falcon. and Of Course Her Brother was No Where to be Found.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Falcon was Flying Fast Through the Air, Obviously Trying not to be Late Carrying a White Box Filled With Something important in it.
"Come on Falcon Push it." He Coached Himself, "You're Running Out of Time."
Suddenly He Heard Tony's Voice Out Of Nowhere Flying Underneath Him in his Iron Man Suit, "Well Someone's in a Rush." Tony Quipped Obviously Finding this Situation Amusing.
"Tony!" Falcon Yelped, Suprised at the Fact that Tony was here, "Hello." Tony Quipped Probably Smirking under His Iron Man Mask, "I Hate When you Do that." Falcon Added, Annoyed that he Did this Every Time they Met Up With Each Other.
"I Know, What's in the Box? a Bomb?" Tony Asked Nonchalantly, He Figured it Must be Important if Falcon was in Such a Hurry With it. "Let me jet it into the exosphere for you." He added as Well.
"It's Not a Bomb." Falcon Said, Rolling his Eyes, Ultimately Annoyed With Tony's Antics, "Rare Vaccine for a Plague–Stricken Village?" Tony Tried Again.
Falcon Replied With a Bored, "No."
"Huh. Well, it Must Be Important then." Tony Said Before Snatching it From Falcons's Hands and Flying Off.
"Tony!" He Shouted, Annoyed Once More, as they Flew in the Direction of the Avengers Tower.
"Eveidence that can Save a Wrongly Condemned Man?" He Guessed again, "No." Falcon Said as they Landed at The Avengers Tower.
"Really? now You've Got me Interested." He Quipped, Still Holding the Box In his Hands, "Give it Back!" Falcon Shouted Before Snatching it Out Of Tony's Hands Holding it to His Chest.
"Will you Quit it? I'm Nervous Enough as it is." Falcon Reprimanded Tony for his Annoying Antics.
Tony Chuckled, "For What?" He Asked, "Move–in Day? Sam I had your stuff shipped in Hours Ago." Tony Reminded Falcon.
Falcon Shook his Head, "The Morning Briefing. We're 10 Minutes Late." Sam Said It Like it was the Most Obvious Thing In the World.
"Seriously? No, I never get to those things on time." Tony Said Before Following Sam, "Takes Cap half an hour just to Make Coffee, He Added And then had a Huge Yawn.
Sam Shook his Head, "That's You. I'm New." He Sounded Exasperated as He Turned to Tony Once More, "Do I Look Calm?" He Honestly Asked.
"You've Got Wing–Pit Stains." Tony Honestly said Before Sam Let Out a Loud Groan, "Sam Relax, your here For a Reason, Trust me Everyone Is very Cool at these Things." They Opened the Doors To Reveal, Captain America, Thor, The Hulk and Black Widow, While Alisha was in the Corner With Malia.
"Alright Avengers, Strategically, the Hulk has six Options That We've Trained For." Steve Said, "Sorry I'm Late." Sam Apologized as he Walked in With Tony Behind Him.
Hulk Sniffed the Air Before addressing Sam and the White Box He Held, "What's in the Box Little Bird." Hulk Said.
Sam Chuckled Nervously Before Opening the Box, "My Mom made Made Cookies." He Said Slightly Embarrassed, "Mmm." was all Hulk Said Before Beginning to Munch Down on the Cookies.
Sam Continued To Ramble On, "A Little Embarrassing, She Didn't want me to Show Up Empty Handed." He Tried to Explain But was Cut Off by Hulk.
"Keep them Coming."
Thor Went to Grab one as Well But Natasha Stole it First, "Dibs on that Last Oatmeal." She Shouted as She Did.
"No Come on That's Mine!" Hulk Tried But She Only Danced Around Keeping it Away From him Which Resulted in Hulk Roaring Out Of Frustration.
"The Son Of Odin Shall have That Cookie! Hands Off!" Thor Shouted, Tony Started Steering Sam Off in a Different Direction, "Let's Get you Settled In While They Work this Out." Tony Said.
Thor Laughed as Natasha Taunted Hulk, "Say Goodbye." as Hulk Grunted at the Widow. "Avengers!" Steve Shouted Trying to Control The Situation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tony and Sam Bumped into Hawkeye Accidentally as He Grunted at them, "Who are you?" he Kind of Rudely Asked.
"Sam Wilson, Falcon?" Sam Said Trying to Prompt His Memories Somehow, "We Kicked Modok's and the Red Skull's Butts Together?" He added.
Hawkeye only Glared at him as Tony Stepped into the Conversation, "Ah, Hawkeye Gotta Love his Sense Of Humor, Don't Quit your Day Job." Tony Said As a Joke before Hawkeye Grunted Shoving them Both Out Of the way Moving on.
"Looks Like Someone Woke Up on the Wrong Side Of the Quiver." Tony Said, Before Leading Sam Away, "Come On I'll Show you your Living Quarters." Tony Said Completely Missing the Real Hawkeye Banging on a Window Seemingly not Even in this World Yelling, "It's Not me Tony!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alisha Knew Something was Wrong She Had Been Studying Hawkeye for the Past Few Hours, Her Brother wasn't Acting Like Him self, He was More Rude and Had no Humor or immaturity to him.
"Alisha?" She Turned at the Voice, Oh it was Malia, "Still Concerned?" She Prompted, Alisha Nodded, She was Concerned that maybe this Hawkeye wasn't the Real Hawkeye.
"Maybe–" Malia was Cut Off by a Crash In the Room they Resided in Which was Alisha's Computer lab Where She Researched things On her Own time Or When She Didn't Join the Avengers On Missions in the Field and Rather From a Computer Screen.
"What was that?" Malia Questioned, Using the Glow Of her Healing Powers She Lit Up the Room a bit Finding Some Kind Of Ghost Monsters.
"Are those Ghosts?" Alisha asked, Her Blue Eyes Widening as She Stared at them, It was Only a Few Seconds Before The Ghosts Charged at them, Not Being Ready To Attack Back.
they Both Ended up in a Weird Place, and What do you Know, Hawkeye was There Too, "Hawkeye!" Alisha Yelped Racing Over to Hug her Brother.
"Alisha! Malia! What Happened?" Hawkeye Asked, They Motioned to the Ghostly Monsters that had Possessed their Outside Bodies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This Still Dosen't Feel Real." Sam Commented as he Walked Down the Hall With Tony. "Oh It'll be very Real once we Go through all the Official Stuff" Tony Said and Then Paused Before Deciding to be Sarcastic.
"I'll Even Teach you the Secret Handshake." Tony Added, Sam's Eyes Lit Up immediately When He Said That. "There's a Secret Handshake?" He Asked.
Tony Shook his Head Smirking to Himself, "Note to Self, "Does not Get Sarcasm"." He Muttered, His Eyes Showing Amusement at Sam Geeking Out.
"You're Just Loving Every Minute of Watching me Geek Out, aren't you?" He Figured It Out, Watching as Tony Agreed with his Statement. "A Little. Here's Your quarters." Tony Announced Finally Stopping at a Somewhat Empty Room.
"Home–Sweet...Home?" Sam Said, a Little Confused for a Moment and Unsure, The Room was Filled with Stuff from Tony's Lab, After he got Done Working late in the Lab and Needed Space.
"This is My Room?" Sam asked With a Seriously Look on his Face, Tony Gave a Apologetic Smile Towards Sam.
"Yeah, I Know, but I was Working late in the Lab and I needed Space." Tony Told Him In which Sam Quickly Quipped Back With, "So Do i."
Tony Rolled his Eyes, "Unless you Know How to juggle unstable Particles Without Tearing a Hole in the Universe, It's Gonna Have to Wait. This Time I'm not Kidding." Tony Seriously Said.
"So What do I do if Moving in is on Hold?" Sam asked, Tony Shrugged his Shoulders, "Your an Avenger now. So Go on, New Kid, Mingle." Tony Said.
Sam Only Scoffed, "Maybe I should Move the Unstable Particles instead." He Somewhat Joked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Master Barton, Surely You received the memo that the arc–Reactor is not for popping your kettle Corn." JARVIS announced to Hawkeye who was Near the Large arc Reactor in Tower.
Hawkeye Only Replied in a Monotone, "I'm here to Pop Something Else." JARVIS tried to stop Hawkeye, "No!" But it was too Late.
More Ghost Like Monsters Stood there, "There's One More then We Planned For." One Announced, "Will the Human Impede On Our Progress?" One asked, "No, He's Insignificant." The Boss One Said, "Distract him until we can Bring Over Our brethren." They Said before Pausing and Continuing.
"If he becomes a nuisance, Destroy him."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Malia, Alisha, and Hawkeye Were Still Caught In a Weird Dimension Of the World, While Their Ghost Possessed Selves Created a Portal With the Arc Reactor.
"So You were First?" Alisha Asked Hawkeye Who Turned His Face Away, "They Just Caught Me Off Guard." He Defended.
they Just Shrugged Continuing on to find a way to Escape this Weird Dimension.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Thors Room." Tony Announced, Stopping at Double Door Once Again, Though Sam Looked Unsure, "So I just walk in?" He Said Nervous.
Tony Only Shrugged, "He Dosen't Bite." He Replied, Sam Motioned to the Asgardian's Weapon, "He has a Hammer." Sam Stated the Obvious as if Tony Didn't Have Eyes.
"Yeah Watch Out For that." Tony Said Shrugging Once Again, Sam Looked the Room Seeing it was Bigger On the Inside Rather then the Outside. "Um Explanation for being Bigger on the inside then the Outside?" Sam asked.
Tony Sighed and Replied, "Asgardian Inter–Dimensional Decorating." Tony Paused and then Added, "That's all I got until I figure it Out. I Hate it When I don't Know things."
a Roar Sounded From Thor's Room, "Don't Worry, Bilgesnipes love to wrestle. Especially on Earth." Thor Reassured as he Wrestled With the Strange Creature.
"We're Just Gonna See Who Else is Available." Tony Said and then Added, "You Just go on With Your Viking Thing."
"I am Not a Viking!" Thor Retorted at Tony's Remark Towards Thor's Ways as Sam And Tony Walked away.
"Falcon, have you more Cookies?" Thor yelled after them only to get Knocked Off his Feet.
They Arrived at Hawkeye's Room to See a Complete Mess, "Isn't Hygiene Training Standard at S.H.I.E.L.D?" Tony Sarcastically Said as He Went Though his Room.
"For a Guy With Perfect Aim, He Can't Hit a Garbage can, Can He?" Tony Added as Sam Looked at Tony, "Where is He?" He asked.
Tony Groaned, looking at a Hologram of where Hawkeye was at this Moment, "In the Lab. I Swear, if He's Making Popcorn Again.." Tony Muttered Before Walking off to go Find Hawkeye, "I gotta Go, Try Hulk. He's a Great Sparring Partner." Called Out to Sam as he Left.
Sam Scoffed, "Me, Spar the Hulk? now, I know you're Kidding." Sam Said Before Leaving Hawkeye's Room as Well.
Muffled Grunts Sounded as they Left, Too Muffled For Either Tony Or Sam To Hear.
So they Missed, Thor, Hawkeye, Malia, and Alisha Shouting Out, "Iron Man! Falcon! Look Out!" from the Other Dimension they Were Stuck in.
Sam Sighed as He Stopped at Hulk's Room, "Squashed by a humongous green foot. Not How I thought i'd go Out." He Muttered to Himself Before Knocking on the Door.
"Uh Hulk?" Sam Called, he Walked in, "Maybe I'll just go a Few Rounds with JARVIS. Like at Chess." He Quipped Before Being in awe at how Clean Hulk's Room is.
"Thia must be Widow's Room. No way it's Hulk's." Sam Said to Himself, "Looks Like my Mom Cleaned it."
Sam Then Moved to Look at the Glass anima Figurines in Hulk's Room on the Shelves, "Why Natasha, Who Knew you were the Glass Anima Type." Sam Said Unaware of Hulk coming in. "Cute Huh?" Sam Muttered.
Hulk Let Out a Growl, Causing Sam To look to His Left, "To the Right." Hulk Huffed Out, "We Don't Talk about this...ever." Hulk Warmed Sam as Steve Came in.
"I've Been Looking For you." Steve announced, "I was Just about to Start a Round of Training. you Want in?" Steve Offered Sam.
"With you? Yes, Definitely, Now." Sam Immediately agreed following Steve Out Of the Room. "Enthusiasm, Nice." Steve Complimented.
"How do you Like The Tower So Far?" Steve asked, Sam Shook his head Replying, "Not What I expected."
Hulk Let Out a Roar Behind Them in his Room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"JARVIS, Respond. I Didn't Program you to take Coffee Breaks." Tony Said Annoyed as He Walked into the Lab to See Thor, Hulk, and Hawkeye in there, The Phantom Versions Anyways.
"Gentlemen, Did Someone call a Meeting of the Break Tony's stuff Committee?" Tony Sarcastically Said. They Only Stared At Tony Blankly.
"We Do not Play with the big boy Equipment in the House Of Stark." He Once Again Sarcastically Said, They Stayed Silent Once More as Tony realized Something was Wrong.
"Oh Boy." He Muttered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grunting Could Be heard in the Training Room, "Good. But Don't Stay so Focused on the Forward drive that you forget your Flanks." Steve Advised as he Sparred With Sam.
"Would it be totally Wrong to Say How Surreal this is?" Sam Asked Before adding, "I just wanna fit in. but I feel like any Minute Somebody's Gonna say April Fool's!" Sam Explained His Feelings.
"What your Feeling is totally Normal Sam." Steve Reassured Sam, "But Don't Worry, I've Studied your bio and Fought at your Side." Steve Added.
"Truth is." Steve Paused, Turning into Phantom Steve, "I Don't think you Can Cut it." the Phantom Said.
Sam was confused for a Minute, "Wait What?" The Phantom Only Smiled Sadistically at Sam, "Fly Home Birdie, While you Still Can." The Phantom Said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Time Skip~~~~~~
after Defeating the Ghost Like Copies Of the Avengers Team they all Met Up again, "Great to be back in my Own Body." Alisha Said, Then Smiled At Falcon Softly.
"Great Job, Rookie."
