Rising of the Avenging Heroes

ESKK: Well let's begin the new chapter people.

(Start Earth)

A Month had passed since the Children went off on that mission and it didn't take long for it to be noticed. Tony had taken note of the children's disappearance and thus had Vision scout the location where they were last scene barely a week since they originally headed to the library. Needless to say it was troubling but also a bit humbling in an odd way. Their vehicles the Sky Stinger, which was an old Ultron Ship that they had used in the past to escape Ultra City, was there as well as the supplies inside. Vision had taken it back to the settlement and thus Tony worked on acquiring its last known footage.

What he found was not something he wanted to see so soon. The Young Avengers were seemingly dragged into another world to which he knew now where they were. From the looks of it magic was involved and he only knew one guy on the planet who could help him with that. The problem with that is if he was even still alive or not. "Sir what do you suggest we do about this?" Vision asked as he looked to Tony who was deep in thought.

"Magic was involved I can promise that much." Tony said as he sat on the chair in the head house of the place. Ironically Avengers Mansion had more or less survived Ultron's uprising and was being used to base their settlement at. "If it's what I think it is then the children were dragged into another world." Tony said as he sat with the group.

"Another world and magic we may have need of Doctor Strange but I have yet to locate any evidence if is alive or not." Vision said as Tony had an idea where he might be. If the Sanctum was compromised by Ultron then in all likely hood Strange may have retreated to the place where he was trained. But with the Quinn Jet gone getting there will be a hassle in of itself. Plus the Sky Stinger isn't made for such long distance of travel especially to the Himalaya's.

"Yes the problem is getting to him... or maybe having him come to us." Tony said as he began to have an idea. If Strange was in fact alive he may or may not have already detected the magic as it seems Vision was having similar thoughts.

"Should I have Viv and Vin be on their best behavior?" Vision asked as Tony was not the only one to discover he had family still alive.

Other than Pepper Vision's wife Virginia had survived and so did their children. Morgan had become fast friends with both Viv and Vin at the time and was mostly responsible for rebuilding them with whatever junk she had lying around. As if summoned Viv phased through the wall and smiled. "Best behavior for what?" Viv asked as she looked to the duo who were not at all surprised by her appearance. Viv shared a lot of similarity to her father save for the fact she had a full head of flowing emerald green hair. She was wearing a hooded coat/jacket of sorts with a green shirt under it, and baggy jeans with multiple pockets that seemed warn in this regard.

"Ah Viv apparently we are expecting company from abroad." Vision said as it was still awkward for him all things considered.

"Oh then in that case he's already arrived." Vin said from the other wall and in turn the door opened and a man walked in dressed in monks robes of a grand master with a cape around his shoulder. "Is someone sick the guy who just go here says that he's a doctor?" Vin said and thus Tony smirked to the new arrival. Vin was a younger ten his sister but unlike his sister he dressed more casual and stayed in the back in terms of combat. He looked a lot like his father but with a head of hair green like his sisters.

"For once I am glad magic was a cheat code." Tony said as the man removed his hood revealing the aged face of none other than Doctor Steven Strange a Neural surgeon and most of all the Sorcerer Supreme.

"I should have expected you'd be involved somehow Stark." Steven said as the Doctor looked to the group.

"Well I do like to make a statement when I come in." Tony said as he offered Steven a seat who happily took the seat. "We have a problem." Tony said and thus Steven looked to him.

"Yes I am well aware I investigated it before I came here and I assume that is the recording of it over there." Steven said pointing to the nearby Sky Stinger.

"Yes its dimensional magic your area of expertise I was hoping you could find a way to bring them back." Tony said hoping that was the case.

"In most cases yes I can but this isn't most cases." Steven said as he looked to them.

"How so?" Vision asked as he was concerned over this while Viv and Vin sat nearby listening in on things.

"They were basically summoned there for a purpose I know not. Due to this purpose and an unknown factor the children are basically anchored there, we can't bring them to us. We can bring almost anything else from there to us but we cannot bring them." Steven said showing he did his homework on this.

"Can we possibly send over a life raft of sorts to fairy them back?" Tony asked as he looked to the group.

"No otherwise we run the risk of tearing them to shreds and scattering their remains on multiple plains of existence." Steven said as he looked to the group causing Tony to growl a bit. "But you were right on the ball of sending things over to them." Steven said as he then looked to the Sky Stinger to which Tony and Vision saw where Strange was going.

"We can send some equipment over to them and maybe some aid." Tony said seeing what Strange was thinking.

"Cool when do we go?" Viv said getting everyone's attention as she wanted to rescue Morgan. She, Vin, and Morgan all grew up together after all. But more to that Vivian had a huge crush on the daughter of Iron-Man that she thinks she hides pretty well. The only one not really aware of it is Morgan and James. Morgan because she never tends to focus on romance and James well let's say Morgan is popular and leave it at that.

"You are staying here young lady." Vision said as Viv wasn't having any of it.

"Yeah sure dad maybe while you twiddle your thumbs I can get you a nice cup of kiss my ass." Viv said as she looked to her father as Tony smirked a bit. "Dad no offense but you and Tony have to stay here to hold the fort and I know how to use the Sky Stinger better than most of you after me and Morgan had modified it." Viv said as she looked to the group to which she had a good point. They can now activate it without attracting Ultron despite Ultron being no more. The Sky Stinger had everything the Avengers needed from a work bench for Morgan to use and build her armors to a storage spot for spare armors and their supplies. Morgan had even added a charging port for her armors if and when she needed said ports. The Sky Stinger even had beds now in case they needed to stop on the side of the road for the night.

"No offense Vision but she has a point." Tony said not liking this but someone had to stay and hold down the fort and as much as Tony hated to say it his daughter was probably smarter then him with all the modification she made to the Sky Stinger.

"Look dad Morgan is my friend as are the others if I can go help them I need to do it." Viv said as she looked to her father as Vision then sighed to this.

"Very well but you must exercise caution on this." Vision urged and thus Viv nodded in response.

"First let's get her set up with supplies for the others while we give Strange some space to prepare." Tony said as Steven was thankful for the last one.

(Scene Break Melromarc Castle Evening)

A party was going on to celebrate the heroes' victory over the wave of catastrophe. There was music, food, mingling, dancing, and FOOD. Luckily since the heroes didn't have to dress up like the nobles they simply came in their normal wear. The King then began to speak as he looked to the people with a smile. "Thanks to our heroes the battle was splendidly won and tonight we celebrate enjoy yourself to the fullest!" The King called out the toast and everyone joined in save for James who was in the far back by the window.

From their own spot Hawkeye glared at the King as the Avengers kept to themselves. "What a jerk." Hawkeye growled as he and the others stuck together here. They did all the work and from the sound of it the three stooges were getting the credit for it.

"If there wasn't a reward that we needed we wouldn't even be here." Azari said as Pym nodded as well keeping close to the others.

"Still after what we did to him and his bitch daughter last time keep your eyes peeled and ears open for anything suspicious." Morgan said as she had a plate of food in her hand.

"Come on guys no need to be sour." James said as he looked to the group. He may not want to be here but since he was a Cardinal Hero and was expecting a reward he had to deal with it.

"Trust me there is plenty of need for that." Hawkeye said as Pym noticed something.

"By the way where's Torunn?" Pym asked and thus Cody sighed.

"One word, feast." Cody said and thus everyone looked to see Torunn making off with a large plate of food treating this event as an Asgardian would.

"I don't know who has a bigger stomach Skaar or Torunn." James joked as Morgan chuckled.

"Hey Barton if you two ever tie the knot how bad is the food bill gonna be with her or worse when she's preggo." Morgan joked as Hawkeye glared at Morgan.

"You know what Stark." Hawkeye began as he looked to Morgan but had no retort causing the heroes to laugh together in response.

"Sir James." Raphtalia said as she walked over to the group. "The food here is really amazing." Raphtalia said as she smiled to the heroes.

"Yeah it is." James said as he looked to her.

"Do you want something to eat?" Raphtalia asked as she then looked to Torunn. "Hopefully before Torunn eats everything." She added as a joke in regards to the Asgardian.

"I'm good just have some things on my mind." James admitted as he looked to the window they were near.

"Is something wrong?" She asked to which James smiled to her to hide what he was feeling.

"Just personal stuff is all." James said and thus the Avengers knew what he was feeling right now.

"Well ok." Raphtalia said as she then headed off on her own for a bit.

James did in fact have a lot on his mind after recent events. The Wave it was like the more they killed those monsters the stronger it got as they came. Morgan was already running theories on this and was lucky to get a scan of the portals from the Wave. But without the proper equipment it will be a while before she can device a theory and work from there. But that wasn't what was bothering him right now. Back home the name Captain America meant something his shield was a symbol of hope but here that same shield had become the symbol of evil.

What hurt worse was that he barely remembered his father as far as he could remember Tony had always been there for them. It hurt in that regard that while Morgan was able to remember her father who is alive James couldn't. Even Torunn can see her father anytime she wanted and it made him jealous of her in that regard. James had anger he won't deny it he was angry at Ultron for taking everything away from them, he was angry at Tony for hiding the truth for so long, he was angry at Thor for leaving his parents to die and Torunn on Earth, he was angry at Bruce for not helping them until they made him help, he was angry of this Kingdom for dragging his friends into their war, and he was angry at the three heroes for acting like such tools while Malty and Aultcray made it their mission to try and ruin him and his friends to break them.

James normally had a good lid on his anger but sometimes he needed to be alone to help sort it all out. Still he was thankful he still had people he could talk to about his personal problems. But in this situation he had to keep it together for the sake of the others. Pym was young and impressionable and the others followed him no questions asked which made James have to do everything he could to not fail their trust. It was hard but he had to endure until they can get home safe and sound.

"So James," Morgan suddenly said to him, knocking him out of his thoughts, as she came and sat next to him at the window and asked him, "You learn anything on that teleporting system?"

After the wave James gotten a notifications from the status system as it told him of the group suddenly teleportation as he brought it up and said, "Yeah apparently I could bring people, and items that belong and registers with the party, being teleported with me into the wave, in a way I wish I found this out sooner."

"Well we are learning as we go, and by the sound of it, as long the said item belong to any of us, we could bring a Tank, a ship, or a some sort of war contraption into the next time a wave happen, which sound like I should try that out when it does."

Morgan soon through of what to do for the next wave if it happen as having a tank of sort could be useful drawing huge monster attention or shooting them down quickly, or maybe a missile or turret system that could take out many low level enemies quickly in the waves so they could focus on the strongest enemies, and if she could build a shop they could fly around and drop off troops at certain location while helping cover the skies with it, with possibilities were endless with the teleportation system to help them face the wave and maybe quickly end it if they could find the source of it, it's just a matter of careful planning to do and building if she can somehow make a ship out of whatever this world has with its limited tools and almost none existing tech.

Just because machine moving with wires, hydraulics, and power doesn't mean stick, stone, and steel couldn't do the same, it's just how to make it so.

"You sure you don't want some food." Raphtalia suddenly asked surprising the two as they turn to her as she held up a plate of cake with some on a fork already as she held it up to James as he said, "I don't know Raphtalia."

The raccoon girl held the fork up close to James to take a bite anyways as she said, "It's really good I promise."

"Come on James, she offering it to you. You don't want to upset our lovely mascot, would you?" Morgan said in a teasing way as James just sighed and take a bite of cake as Raphtalia smile to this as Morgan said, "I knew you could do it."

Where Motoyasu was at as Malty was whispering something to him as he seem shock and surprise of whatever malty is telling him before he went off towards James and his party was at, as the Avengers saw him coming towards them, each of them on guard of what could happen as they saw the look on the spear moron's face and it wasn't too happy about something.

The spear Hero just stop a few steps away from James, as he soon takes off a glove with his teeth before he called out, "James Rogers!"

James turn to the Spear Hero as suddenly the guy throw his glove down to the ground, with everyone around lightly gasp at this with Motoyasu said to him, "Time to fight."

The Avengers all looked wondering what brought this on as they looked to the glove on the ground and then at Motoyasu. "I've heard that you've made poor Raphtalia your slave that she obeys your every command." Motoyasu said as he glared at James.

"Ok why is this important now?" Morgan asked as she looked to Motoyasu. Motoyasu was about to retort but Morgan cut him off once more. "We didn't buy her I won her off some drunk slaver." Morgan said as she looked to Motoyasu.

"Morgan." James said as he looked to Morgan who sighed and raised her hands showing she'll let James talk his way through this confrontation. "Look Motoyasu yes as much as it galls me to admit it she's my slave in a legal sense." James said as he looked to Motoyasu.

"So you admit it, some hero!" Motoyasu began but James cut him off again.

"Like I said her enslavement was not my choice but if you actually read the laws in this crazy land as she is now she's probably safer." James said as he looked to Motoyasu. "From what I understand any random Demi-Human who are minding their own business can be picked off the side of the road and forced into slavery with no repercussions to the slavers in question." James said as he noted how Myne smirk from behind Motoyasu began to twitch showing she didn't anticipate James doing research. "Besides she isn't just a slave she's become a close friend even family." James said to which Motoyasu glared at James.

"You fucking hypocrite family and friends don't enslave each other!" He yelled but James looked to Motoyasu calmly.

"I will reiterate if you'd bothered to study the local customs and laws she's safer with us then wandering where some other bastard can capture her and do God knows what to her." James countered as he glared at Motoyasu almost sounding like he was scolding him more than trying to reason with him.

"How can you condemn others if you're doing the same regardless of your excuse?!" Motoyasu yelled as he glared at James who was being calm about this.

"I'm not condoning it but for the sake of others sacrifices have to be made." James said as he glared at Motoyasu starting to get annoyed with him. "If you really are a hero like you claim how about you act like it." James said as he was getting tired of Motoyasu's antics.

Just then Motoyasu pointed his spear at James and in turn glared at the Son of Captain America. "Let's do this!" Motoyasu began shocking Raphtalia but James simply walked away.

"No." James said while he walked off. "You're not worth the effort." James said as he barely paid Motoyasu any mind on this. After all there was no point in trying to reason with stupidity at its worst.

"Sir James!" Raphtalia called out and then chased after James.

"Jeez I knew coming here was a bad idea." Azari said as they could have just showed up for the reward and be on their way. "Come on Pym." Azari said and Pym nodded.

"Right!" Pym said as he shrunk down and chased after James.

Nearby Itsuki and Ren saw the conversation play out as they were on the bench with what was said. James did research or at least Morgan did so clearly he might be onto something. But Motoyasu was being an idiot after what happened during the Wave how they saw the Avengers not only fight it off but also caused all the Monsters to recognize them as a bigger threat. They weren't going to step in because if what James said is true then he may be onto something about Raphtalia being safer where she was.

Back with the Avengers they were taking their leave of the party when a Knight stopped him with his trident tipped spear. "It has been brought to my attention." Aultcray said as he walked forth from his perch to look down upon James. "That you a hero has been using a Demi-Human as your slave." Aultcray said as he glared down upon James. "You violated our customs and that is reprehensible!" He began until Morgan jumped in.

"Yeah um no we didn't in fact he followed your customs to the letter." Morgan said as he walked up and smirked.

"What?!" He demanded glaring at Morgan.

"Pick up a book folks you'll learn something." Morgan began as she then continued to speak. "See here 'your majesty,' your kingdom openly and willfully practices slavery on Demi-Humans and not once were any of the Slavers punished if it was such a bad thing." Morgan said as she looked to the King. "If Raphtalia was a slave in Silvelt then yeah we'd be having a problem but one this isn't Silvelt and two she's a Demi-Human in Melromarc." Morgan said as she smirked when she saw Malty growled silently to Morgan.

"She's right and also I serve Sir James of my own free will!" Raphtalia began but was then cut off by a Knight attempting to silence her. But when that happened Torunn grabbed the Knights hand and trusted it while crushing the armor on his arm. The Knight cried out feeling the pressure before Torunn flipped him over and knocked him down. When another came up behind her Torunn calmly yet shockingly to the people knocked the knight out without even looking at him.

"What's this? Trying to silence her before she says something to make you look bad, it's almost like you planned for this." Morgan said as she smirked to Aultcray who glared at Morgan who was playing the legal system like it's her own personal playground and worst of all she was the Queen of said Playground.

"The Slave crests forces her to say such things." Aultcray tried to defend but Morgan then scoffed to this.

"So let me see if I got this right its ok when your people does it but when any of the heroes or more specifically 'The Shield Devil,' does it then it's instantly a bad thing." Morgan countered as the King growled to this while glaring at her. The look in his eyes was his way of tell Morgan that she has no idea who she's messing with right now. "There's an old saying, practice what you preach, if you don't want the Heroes to have slaves then how about making slavery illegal in Melromarc." Morgan said as she smirked to the man who's hands gripped the wood above as his knuckles began to turn white from the pressure.

"This is check your move 'your majesty,' what you got?" Morgan asked as she smirked as it was clear she was trying to edge him on trying to get him to respond in anger. The tension in the air was so thick one could actually cut it with a knife. Morgan showing she was a Stark through and through didn't look worried at all as she was just waiting for the king to make a move. One hand was close to her strap to activate her armor if need be. Torunn was also ready to draw her sword as it was clear if it came down to it they will fight but they will NOT throw the first punch.

Morgan previous threat held firm punish the Shield or any of his allies and Silvelt will get involved. People still remembered that previous threat by Morgan and right now with the Waves a war with Silvelt would doom the Kingdom. Clearly someone had to make the first move and it wasn't going to be the Avengers and it wasn't going to be the King.

James saw this and knew he had to step in and settle this himself. "Fine." James said calmly as he stepped up to the occasion. "I'll fight." James said surprising the crowed as even the Avengers were surprised by this.

"James." Morgan warned knowing these crazies will use every method they could to make sure James loses.

"Don't worry." James assured Morgan knowing why she was worried. "But hear me on this win or lose, Motoyasu you won't be getting what you want out of this." James said while looking to Motoyasu with a calm front.

"You make it sound like you can win." Malty was heard as she walked out of the shadows. "Shield Hero." She added and thus James smirked to this.

"Sorry to say this but... when it comes to the Shield only one person can probably beat me in that aspect." James said showing he knew how to fight with a shield. Malty may not want to admit it but she saw the basics of what James did but in comparison to then and now James has had time to improve and evolve.

(Scene Break Later)

James was in a small room filled with weapons as he looked to them all. He paid them no mind as he didn't need any of them to beat Motoyasu in this duel. James then sighed as he waited for the doors to open for him. He made sure the Avengers were with Raphtalia 24/7 and kept her as far away from Aultcray as possible. He wasn't going to let the King or Malty touch one of his friends.

Eventually the doors opened and James began to walk forth. As he walked James saw two balconies so that the present VIP's that would watch duel as officials for its legitimacy were filled. One balcony had a man in priest Robes possibly a pope and the other of course being filled by the King. As he walked out Motoyasu did the same but the difference was that James path was empty while Motoyasu had knights leading the path.

"This duel will take place in the presence of King Melromarc and the Pope and is thus legitimate and official." The Announcer said as James already knew how to win this either make Motoyasu give up or make sure he can't get up. James rather do this diplomatically first but if Motoyasu forces his hand he'll do what he needs to do.

As James entered the stage Morgan in her full armor was there waiting while leaning on the wall. "Knock him off his high horse James!" Morgan called out as she was just here in case any fowl play was detected.

"Sir Motoyasu best of luck!" Myne called out from her spot cheering Motoyasu on while waving to him.

"He's gonna need it!" Morgan called out using her armors speakers to sound louder causing Myne to glared at Morgan.

As James and Motoyasu stared each other down James opted to try one last time to make Motoyasu back off. "Motoyasu it's not too late to back off." James said as Motoyasu glared at James.

"Sorry but I should be telling you that." Motoyasu countered as the two glared each other down. "Anyway James ever hear about the old folktale about the irresistible spear and the unmovable shield?" Motoyasu asked as the two glared each other down ready to fight. "James be a man and admit defeat." Motoyasu said as he took a battle stance.

James simply responded by taking a battle stance of his own ready for combat. It's time to show everyone here and this country just what the Shield of Captain America can really do in the right hands. "Ready?" The official began as Motoyasu's spear changed form. "Begin!" He called out and thus the battle began.

Motoyasu charged in with a roar ready for combat. James blocked the first few attacks from Motoyasu as the two did battle. The two then entered a deadlock and glared each other down. "Not bad I guess the Shield Hero has a few moves!" Motoyasu called out as James smirked to him.

"You have no idea." James said before he pushed Motoyasu back and back flipped away. "Boomerang shield!" James called out and thus threw his shield at Motoyasu. Motoyasu was surprised to see this as he blocked the attack. To his shock the Shield attack did as it was named and returned to James waiting arm.

(Aultcray)

The King was shocked to see the Shield Hero had attack skills. He had used the Appraisal spell to see it and this 'Boomerang Shield,' was in fact an offensive spell.

(Battle)

Motoyasu and James glared each other down as both had a battle stance. In turn Motoyasu got his next attack ready to use intent on taking James down. He then pointed his spear at James as the weapon came to life showing it was ready for what came next. "Chaos spear!" Motoyasu invoked and thus James acted fast.

"Energy Shield!" James invoked and thus an energy version of James shield came forth and grew enough to stop Motoyasu's attack in its tracks.

"What?!" Motoyasu cried out once the attack ended when he saw James was completely unscathed. His surprised gave James the chance to attack as the Son of the First Avenger went for the frontal attack. Motoyasu and James did combat as James sent punches and shield bashes Motoyasu's way.

Nearby Myne laughed when the Shield actually hit Motoyasu. "Is he actually trying to fight using the shield?" Myne asked but then to the shock of many Motoyasu went flying upward from the shield attack. James then performed a spin kick which then sent Motoyasu flying from it as he fell back down. He rolled on the ground a bit before eventually coming to a halt. "What, how?!" Myne asked as she saw Motoyasu actually take damage.

"That bitch is Vibranium the most versatile substance known to our world." Morgan said as she had her face plate up. "It's thicker the any known armor and half the weight." Morgan taunted as James was ready for more. "And the amount that was found was made into that shield." Morgan said as she knew James had the advantage in this fight.

"No way." Motoyasu said as he saw how James had the advantage. He trained in the ways of Shield based combat so as much as many would like to deny it... James Rogers was the perfect fit to be the Shield Hero.

James then charged in against Motoyasu and started performing attacks against him via punches and kicks. Once James did so he jumped back and changed Shields to one with the two head of the monster they bested a week before the Wave. The two heads charged at Motoyasu and bit down on him before he could react to the attack. The Shield changed forms again as James was far from done. "Shield prison!" James invoked and thus trapped Motoyasu in the Shield Prison. "Airstrike Shield!" James added and thus the Airstrike Shield hit the Shield Prison causing it to ring out and fly off both actions causing Motoyasu to cry out from it.

(Stands)

People were actually believing that James was going to win this fight as Aultcray even looked away from it as if he planned for this. Eventually the whispers began as the Avengers all heard the people. "Does that lowly Shield Hero think he can win against the Spear Hero?" A woman began as she glared down upon James.

"Have you no respect for the sanctity of a Duel." Another noble a male called out as the Avengers heard them.

"Assholes." Hawkeye said as Cody glared at them all ready to 'accidentally,' let Skaar out if needed.

(Battle)

James sighed and walked over to Motoyasu's Prison as it rolled back to the stage. James then ended the prison and looked down upon Motoyasu. "It's time to give up Motoyasu I'd rather not hurt you more than I have to." James said giving Motoyasu the chance to give up while he still can.

"And why would I want to give up now?" Motoyasu growled as James then sighed to this.

"Fine... when you wake up... sorry for the headache." James said as he was going to knock Motoyasu out cold. James looked ready to do it as Motoyasu was wide eyed to this.

"Wait no!" He cried out but just then Morgan was heard.

"James get down!" Morgan cried out and thus James acted and pushed Motoyasu down in time for a Wind Spell to meet with Iron-Heart's unibeam. But the Wind Spell proved weak against Iron-Heart's most powerful weapon in her arsenal as Myne was forced to dodge it when it hit the wall. A hole was made and that mind you was only destructive force not heat so Myne would be able to walk away from this.

"You red haired skank!" Morgan called out as she glared at Myne. "If you're gonna stand there and throw magic then you better jump in and throw down otherwise stay where you are." Morgan said as she glared at Myne.

"I have no idea what your." Myne began only for Morgan to produce the evidence in response which showed Myne preparing the Wind Spell before firing it off while James back was turned.

"Wanna try that again I think you almost hid the bull shit smell." Morgan said as she glared at Myne as she saw once more Morgan outsmarted her and her father.

As James was already back on his feet Motoyasu saw the image and assumed it was another lie but even Ren and Itsuki knew Morgan couldn't create false data like that so quickly. As Motoyasu was about to get back up he saw a hand before him. He looked and saw James offering his hand to help him up. "Shall we get back to it?" James offered as he was fighting fair instead of attacking while Motoyasu was down.

Motoyasu then growled and smacked James hand away before going for the attack. James easily dodged the attack as Motoyasu swung wildly at James intent on taking him down. It was clear Motoyasu was doing everything he could to win when, in his mind, Morgan was forced to help James by trying to accuse Myne of cheating. James easily dodged Motoyasu's attacks and thus caught his spear and pulled Motoyasu in. James then grabbed Motoyasus's arm and proceeded to put him in an arm lock. Motoyasu was force to his knees as James then flipped Motoyasu and knocked him down.

James caught his breath glaring at Motoyasu with contempt. "Motoyasu for your own good stay down." James said as he really didn't want to hurt the guy more than he had to. "This fight is over, have some dignity and give up." James warned before he began to walk away from Motoyasu.

"Some hero." Motoyasu began as he got back up refusing to surrender and opted to go the petty route. "I wonder how your parents would react to seeing you now the Son of the First Avenger a lying cheating bastard." Motoyasu began and thus caused James to stop in his tracks at Motoyasu's words making the Avengers who knew James go wide eyed in response.

(Stands)

"He didn't." Francis said as he knew how James was and right now Motoyasu is signing his own death warrant.

"Come on moron shut up before you make it worse." Cody said as he knew that there were some lines you just don't cross.

(Battle)

"Doubt they'd approve of you maybe you should go ask them when you see them." Motoyasu said as James fist began to clench and with every words he spoke his grip tightened as his knuckles turned white. "Oh wait sorry I forgot no point in asking because your dead and you... your just a failure to their legacy." Motoyasu said as he decided to take it a step further. "Your no Captain America, Gaijin you may have his blood but in the end you're a failure to that blood you will NEVER be Captain America." Motoyasu said and thus that did it.

A dark look came over James face as he then turned around and charged at Motoyasu. Motoyasu smirked and was about to attack but James was five moves ahead on this. He deflected Motoyasu's spear and knocked him down before pinning him down. He then pinned the arm with his spear and used his free arm to start punching him in the face.

"Take that back!" James yelled as he proceeded to repeatedly punch Motoyasu in the face. "Take that back you bastard!" James yelled as he continued to punch Motoyasu as he tried to stop James but to no avail. As Motoyasu tried to move his body eventually fell limp but James didn't care he just kept punching him as his hand began to get stained with Motoyasu's blood.

"Stop it!" Myne cried out as she saw she could use this to her advantage.

James was enraged as he kept up the punches as Motoyasu's face began to turn into a bruised and bloody parody of itself. Luckily he was still breathing but it James kept it up it won't be for long.

"James!" Morgan called out as she charged in and pulled James arm back. James glared and thus saw Morgan with her face mask off looking to him sadly. James anger began to die down as he then looked down and saw the state Motoyasu was in. He was breathing thankfully but when James realized what he almost did he hugged Morgan's midsection as it sounded like he was about to break down. Unknown to any of them a fire appeared inside the gem of his shield but that was beside the point.

"The fight's over people, Motoyatsu lost so go home!" Morgan ordered but the king begged to differ.

"I think not clearly the Shield Hero had." He began only for Torunn to appear just before Morgan fired a repulse beam.

"If you paid attention James had given Motoyasu every possible chance to give up, the spear idiot brought this on himself." Morgan said glaring at Aultcray showing she was not going to deal with his crap right now.

"If any of you have a problem you can take it up with me." Torunn said but Cody then jumped in.

"No! He can take it up with all of us." Cody said as the Avengers were glaring at Aultcray and thus with no other option was forced to call it. Still as the stands began to clear out the Avengers made a beeline for James spot and held him close. They each gathered around him as it was clear they were letting him burn himself out on this. This was his problem he always puts so much on himself trying to be every bit of Captain America as his father before him.

Even Raphtalia was here to defend James if any of their foes tried anything. It was clear Motoyasu had touched a sour subject as he began to come too. Motoyasu saw the Avengers gathering around James as Torunn then glared at Motoyasu as did Raphtalia. "Did I win?" He asked but instead was met with Torunn grabbing him by the throat making Motoyasu go wide eyed. "Wait Lady Torunn lets use our words." Motoyasu said scared as the healers had yet to arrive.

"Oh I have more than words for you, you sick egotistical, bastard!" Torunn yelled as she glared at Motoyasu. "If you ever do anything of that level again I don't care who you are or who gets in my way Melromarc will be short a Spear Hero!" Torunn yelled as she squeezed causing Motoyasu to start choking for air. She then slammed him down to the ground and stormed off back to James.

Once things began to calm down the Avengers all began to take their leave as Morgan and Torunn both guided James as Hawkeye stood sentinel over the kid.

"You guys are animals!" Pym yelled as he pointed an accusing finger at Motoyasu, Malty, and Aultcray who had arrived upon the scene, before rejoining the others.

(Scene Break Later)

The Avengers managed to find a room to themselves as Torunn was of course there. She let James use her lap as a pillow as each of the members took sentinel over him. The group one by one began to huddle up together and even start to fall asleep. Even Raphtalia had joined them in this regard. Despite everything they've been through despite it all if someone were to happen upon the group they would see not a party of warriors or heroes but a family broken and fractured in some ways but still a family who managed to come together when they had no one else.

In fact Ren and Itsuki happened upon them and thus opted to leave them alone. Their reasons was their own but as they left Ren told any Guard who came by that the room was empty and there was nothing to check there. He and Itsuki both knew James was strong but his greatest strength came his loved ones around him. Motoyasu will take time to convince but maybe... just maybe the people were wrong about James.

(Scene Break the next Morning)

James began to wake up as did the others he then took a look around and saw Torunn. "Morning." Torunn greeted as the way she looked armor or not she looked like the groups mother in a sense.

"Morning." James greeted as he got up.

"Hey man you doing ok?" Hawkeye asked as he looked to James.

"Yeah... I'll be fine." James said as Azari then came in.

"Hey we're dude we're all here for you if you need to talk." Azari said before Cody came in.

"That goes double for the both of us." Cody said as he was referring to himself and Skaar.

"Guys." James began before Pym spoke up.

"Come on James I know you're not as smart as Morgan but you're not an island your family." Pym said as he looked to James from his spot still being shorter then everyone.

"It's true, Sir-James." Raphtalia said as she looked to James. "You... all of you gave me something back that I thought I lost long ago." Raphtalia said as she looked to the Avengers. "You gave me a place to belong and feel loved. A home." Raphtalia said as Morgan heard this and smirked.

"Hey if that's the case then no more of that Sir-James libel." Morgan said as she looked to Raphtalia. "From now on I think it's only fair you call James by name." Morgan said as she looked to Raphtalia.

"But." Raphtalia began but James cut her off.

"She's right we're family like you said. Being informal is a part of it for us." James said showing he was ok with actually being called James only.

"Ok, James." Raphtalia said with a smile on her face as she looked to them.

(Later outside)

Once everyone was outside James looked to the sky as the wind blew by them. James was deep in thought as he looked over to it all in wonder and resolve. "This world..." James said as he looked to it. "It may look peaceful yet it's anything but." James said as his friends heard him. "It needs Avengers to avenge the wrongs caused by cruel and manipulative people." James said as he smirked to this.

"Alright then." Hawkeye said with a smirk on his face. "Where do we start?" Hawkeye asked as they looked over the village.

"Melromarc of curse." James said as that was their plan to try and fix the system from both within and outside.

"Think we can do it on our own?" Morgan asked as she looked to James.

"No but there are people out there who can help we just need to give them a symbol to rally behind." James said as they were all in agreement. "So guys... ready to do some Avenging." James said and thus they were all in agreement on this.

But before anything else could be said a flash of magic came upon them as the group ended up shielding themselves from it. As they got to cover from it they all shielded their eyes from its intensity until it began to dye down. They all looked and saw a familiar vehicle standing before them. "Wait is that?" Morgan asked as he saw the machine remembering it well. The pain job they gave on it was clear as it had a stylized A on it and was given a coating akin to the Quinn Jet.

"It is the Sky Stinger." James said as he recognized the machine instantly. When they escaped Ultra City to find the Hulk this was the vehicle that ferried them off. When they fought Ultron by some miracle it survived and in turn became their primary form of long distant transportation.

"How did it get here?" Azari asked as Raphtalia gave the vehicle a worried look.

Just then the side opened and from it a figure was seen. When she came it was revealed to be Vivian as she smiled to the group. "Viv?" Morgan asked as she saw the synthetic girl.

"Hey guys miss me?" Viv asked with a smile on her face. "So mind filling me in on what's been going on?" Viv asked as she was going to need updates before she gave the Avengers updates on their attempted rescue mission from this world.

"Trust me Viv... it's a long and shit story that you're gonna want to take a seat for all of this." Morgan said as she looked to the girl.

"Oh Morgan trust me I can handle it, since I did come with a few presents from home." Viv said as she pointed her thumb to the Sky Stinger.

"Oh baby yea." Morgan said as she was happy to have some tech once more. "But still you're gonna have to sit down and promise you won't get angry and pull an Ultron." Morgan said as Viv smirked to her longtime friend.

"Come on what do you take me for?" Viv asked as she smiled to Morgan being unusually affectionate to the Stark Girl.

"Well get ready then." Hawkeye said and thus they all began to enter the Sky Stinger to talk. Hopefully Viv can keep her word and not go on a rampage once she finds out about the unethical things bigot views in this world.
