TVA2003
All the avengers were seated together and waiting, they all seemed very bored and were just looking at each other. "Nice going Rodgers, they tricked us now we are stuck here." Tony said.
"It's only been an hour, Stark, give it a second." Rodgers fired back. "As far as this place goes I have never seen a prison block like this," Natasha said. "Yeah neither have I," Clint said.
"According to my calculation we traveled quite a distance of about 231 km. So wherever we are we must have quite the land to travel." Banner said. An officer banged on the door and called out to you as a visitor. "Good luck. I heard she used to be an ice queen, back when she was a part of the rebellion."
Everyone looked at each other preparing for the visitor. A few moments passed when a small woman walked in. She looked to be in her early fifties but no one was able to recognize her except one person.
Steve just looked at her and couldn't believe it after so long. He was truly back home. After so much time. How long has it been here, since she looked older than he remembered? He wanted to hug her, but knew that would set off alarms in her so he just stayed where he was seated.
"I heard someone requested my presence." The woman practically shouted.
No one answered, all a little frightened of the chaos her intrusion had made. So they all pointed at Steve.
So she looked at him. And when she saw him she saw something familiar in him yet so different. Instead of investigating those thoughts, she pushed them away and said. "So you're the one who requested me."
He tried to speak but couldn't if he spoke he knew he would lose it. It had been too long, how could he finally be here, where does he start, would anybody still remember him here?
"Ok, so might I just ask why so suddenly Anakin sends his regards, before I pass my verdict on what should be done to this group of insurgents. ." Leia said a little more harshly, thinking that would finally get someone to speak, usually a threat of prison time, was enough to get groups to turn on themselves.
That finally got him to speak. "Umm…we aren't insurgents. Or maybe we are, but we aren't here to harm anyone.", Steve said slowly.
"What?" she said.
Steve fidgeted in his seat and he couldn't think of anything else to say, so he just repeated his earlier statement "We aren't insurgents. ."
Leia felt as her patience was thinning. It was too late in the night trying to deal with this. Was this man seriously, just going to repeat the same phrases, over and over? She felt her attitude and demeanor deteriorating, but quickly composed herself; she didn't want the prisoners to see that her attitude was faulting. She needed answers.
"So, why did you mention Anakin, was he an old classmate, did he hurt someone you know and now you want vengeance, or did just want to use his name to help bargain better conditions for you and your pals?" Leia said.
"Noo, none of that. No, we are not looking for vengeance. I just know something he would have wanted to tell his family. He would have told them that he misses them, and wished everyday and night for the passing years could see them once again, even if it was one more time." Steve said slowly while looking at his legs.
All the avengers stayed quiet and listened carefully at the exchange, alternating from looking at the lady that had walked in to Rogers, who was speaking as if he knew whoever this Anakin was. And not understanding how Steve knew so much. "Wait, Who's Anakin?'' Tony said.
But it fell to deaf ears as Steve finally looked up and looked straight at Leia and smiled softly at her, hoping she would figure it out, and he wouldn't have to fight her to understand who he was. He tried pushing through the force, calling out to her.
Leia just stared right back at him,why did he seem so similar, that smile it looked familiar, why did it look familiar? She couldn't piece things together. Then she realized why that smile looked familiar. She had seen that smile a dozen times in her husband and in her children Jacen, Jania, Bail, and…. Anakin. How was that possible though, that couldn't be. It couldnt be, Anakin he died to long age, but if not him then who? She knew she needed answers, maybe she should take Luke's advice and trust in the force. He did always say the force worked in a mysterious way, and would sometimes help you find answers to questions you might have. With that in mind she reached out in the force, something she would have done first, if she wasn't so distracted by the mention of her son's name. When she reached out and felt his presence, that presence she had not felt in a longtime, before, everything changed. It was warm, and confident, although at the moment it felt a little hesitant. But she knew after feeling him through the force, that it was him, she didn't know how, but he was truly here again.
"Anakin?"She said weakly, as a single tear rolled down her eye, as she felt that presence once more in the force, how could it be.
All Steve did was nod and spoke through the force. Mom?
How had she been so blind, it looked exactly like him, just a bit older since the last time she had seen him. But, how was this all possible, he died, that's what everyone that reported back from the mission had said, sacrificing himself to the force to help all Jedi's survive.
Han was watching the encounter from the outside though the tinted window. He couldn't believe his ears or eyes. Was it possible?
He stepped closer to the window to get a better look at this man, and what he saw he could not believe. It did look offley look a lot like Anakin. He had the same blue eyes and blonde hair as Luke, and the man shared his long and pointed nose with the same ears. Was it possible? He saw as Anakin stood and met with Leia to embrace her, while the others seated around them stared awkwardly with confusion written on their faces. He was deciding whether to walk in or not, when the man looked straight into his eyes through the tinted window, and muttered, "Dad?"
"Yeah, he's out there, you know him always being overprotected." Leia said while grinning ear to ear, now that her son was here again with her. Just ignoring for a moment, the inner question she had about his whereabouts in the last ten years. Those questions could wait for later, now she just wanted to treasure the moment she never thought she would ever have again with her Anakin.
Steve just laughed and said, "Yeah, I still remember it's why I spent most of my childhood on Anoth with Winter.." he finished sadly. That's when Han opened the door and said, "Yeah, well look where that has gotten us too."
Steve just smiled, and hugged his father.
The Avengers just stared at each other daring each other with looks to ask what just happened. Of course no one expected Friday to be the one to cut the tension. SIR WHAT JUST HAPPENED.
Tony didn't even know how to respond. That's when Steve remembered that he was here with his team and needed to catch them up, will they believe him, he asked himself.
"Oh, Sorry, guys, my bad, Umm this is…" he said, gesturing to his parents. "My mom Leia Organa Solo, and this is my dad Han Solo." and then pointed in the opposite direction towards the Avengers.
"Mom, Dad, this is the Avengers that Tony, Natasha, Thor, Bruce, and Clint." Steve introduced each Avenger, while pointing at each one while he called out their name. The Avengers just awkwardly smiled and waved.
"Hi, nice to meet you." Leia said first. Han just smiled and adjusted his glasses to help break some of the tension.
"Wait, your Mom and Dad? How? I thought you parents were Sarah and Joseph." Tony spoke up. Still utterly confused at everything he just heard.
Rodgers knew this was coming but did not know how to respond, so he just said, "Well, they were, kind of. It's a long story."
"We have time." Natasha said.
When they heard a beeping sound, Han knew it was his commlink that was ringing, so rummaged through his pocket and took out his commlink and read the message.
"Actually, we don't." Han said, then whispered to Leia. "Bail is looking for us and 3PO, and keeps questioning, where are we really at."
"Maybe, a little later , we'll have more, but we must get going," Leia said. She turned towards Anakin and asked "Where will your friends and you be sleeping, please comm me the coordinates, I'll be over first thing in the morning" Leia said.
"Actually, that's the problem, our home is..." he was going to say in another universe, but stopped himself thinking his mom would not believe him if he siad they were all from another universe, so instead said, "somewhere else far from here, so we actually have nowhere to go." Steve spoke up for the team.
"Nonsense, you will always have a home here, come along, your friends can come too." Leia said.
Steve smiled and turned towards the Avengers. "Ok, guys, let's go home." steve stated
"Hold on we are not just going to go to the house to who knows where with who knows who, in a world we know nothing at all." Tony stated
"Well, speak for yourself Tony, after a bit of hulking, I could use a rest." Banner stated.
"I Agree Green Friend. Plus Stark, Roger said it is his parents, did you not listen." Thor asked Tony in confusion. "Yeah, why not I could use a rest, I'll go." Clint said.
"Yeah, fine then, I'm guessing. Why Not then? Stark." Natasha said.
"Fine then" so Tony agreed since he had no other option. "Let's follow Captain America then shall we?" Thor stated eagerly.
Han looked confused and Leia could tell he was slowly losing his patience after many years of seeing how the different aspects of life had thrown at him. She knew the patience he had was long gone, nowadays it was easier to upset him. After all,he was currently fighting a war against someone he knew and loved. So she gave him a reassuring smile while indicating with her head to go ahead and lead the way. "Well then let's get going." Leia said while indicating with her opposite palm to follow Han.
"Alrighty lets go" Rodgers stated while following his mother out the door.
The avengers all walked following behind.
In the hallway a guard dressed in a more superior uniform than the other guards they had seen earlier, was waiting down the hall to ask where the prisoners were going without any report.
"General, where are you taking these prisoners?" the warden asked. "Just Han, I haven't been a general for a long while now, as for the prisoners I want them to be released in my custody.'' Han told the officer. "Yes, sir you just fill out the correct paperwork and they could be released to you in the next 600 hours." the warden said.
Han's temper just kept unraveling. Leia saw this and knew it was her turn to step in before Han completely lost his will, the Avengers just looked worriedly to each other, hoping they would not have to go back to the cell.
"Excuse me, sorry but this is quite urgent regarding the council, and you can tell your superior that they were released to the Senator Organa-Solo and I will be happy to answer any question regarding the prisoners. You can reach me on my office comm." Leia suddenly said. The warden looks with wide eyes to Leia and stutters slowly, "Yes, mame, I will let my superior know just on your way out give the code 9241, will you be needing a shuttle to export the prisoner or will you be using your own speeder." the warden said fastly.
Leia had not thought of how they were going to carry the whole group to their home. "Yes, as a matter of fact we will be needing a transport, Thank You, Sir." Leia answered.
