The jet landed on the Helicarrier and as soon as you stepped out, you saw Fury.
Yup. He was just as scary in person.
"Montgomery?" He said as you walked up to him. "Yes sir. Tony tell you I was coming?" Fury nodded and led you inside. "He didn't tell me much, only that you were important, and that you were on our side. Normally I don't trust Stark as far as I can throw him, but he seemed pretty adamant about this."
"Yeah, I will explain everything, but I'd rather wait until everyone is back, my story is long enough I don't want to tell it a dozen times, if that's okay sir." Fury eyeballed you for a second and nodded, showing you to a room you could stay in until it was time.
You didn't lie there for long; you were going over everything you remembered happening. Tony joining Steve on the ground, getting Loki into the Quinjet, Thor coming and taking him, then they fought in the woods, capturing Loki one more time. You heard voices in the hallway, what sounded like Thor's, they must be taking Loki to the big glass chamber that's meant for Hulk.
When the commotion died down and you heard Thor's voice pass your room once again, you poked your head out and headed in the direction of the main control room.
You paused right outside the entrance, taking a deep breath, listening in on the conversation between Loki and Fury. She had to admit. Loki was smooth.
"Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard. He is my brother." Thor told them.
'He killed eighty people in two days." Natasha deadpanned.
"He's adopted." You snorted. Tony and Coulson walked past you, Tony explaining why Loki needed the Iridium. You stepped into the room just a little, staying out of sight from the rest of the Avengers. You spotted Steve. You knew he had been okay, but you couldn't help the sigh of relief just seeing him in person.
Tony made the joke about Galaga and you had to stifle a laugh, and when he made the joke about Fury not being able to see anything, you noticed he was limping. You rolled your eyes and spoke up.
"You let Thor put the hammer down didn't you?" You said and all the eyes in the room snapped to you. You could see the color drain out of Steve's face out of the corner of your eye. Tony spun around and squinted is eyes at you.
"I didn't really have a choice kid; he really likes it."
You chuckled and shook your head, pushing yourself off the wall and entering the room more. Your eyes met Steve's and you smiled. "Hey Steve."
He stood and made it to you in just a few strides, wrapping his arms around you, kissing the top of your head. "You are a sight for sore eyes sweetheart." He whispered. You smiled, wrapping your arms around his middle. You pulled back and looked up at him. "I told you I'd find you. Sorry I'm late, I wanted to be there when you woke up, but I wasn't sure exactly when." He shook his head, pulling you to him again. "You're here now. And you're okay."
"I'm okay." You told him. You heard a throat clear behind Steve. You poked your head around him to see Tony standing with his hands on his hips, waiting for you to speak. You pulled yourself out of Steve's arms and walked over to the table, taking the vacant seat in between Steve and Natasha. The redhead kept shooting you looks, and you wondered if her hand was resting on a gun somewhere on her person, just waiting to shoot.
"When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?" Hill asked Tony.
"Last night." He told her. You smirked. "The packet, Selvig's notes, the extraction theory papers. Am I the only one who did the reading?" You raised your hand and Tony scowled at you. "That's not fair, you have an advantage." He told you.
"What advantage would that be exactly?" Natasha asked, looking at you. Tony nodded and you stood, walking over to where he was standing and he took the seat at the end of the table. You felt like a teacher, waiting to lecture the class. Fury wasn't in the room, but you were sure he was listening somewhere, he always was.
"So, my name is Allison Montgomery. I'm a metahuman. I have ice powers and healing powers, don't worry, there will be a demonstration later on." Tony laughed and you even saw a small smile on Steve's face.
"I'm not from this earth. Yes, there are more than one, I'm not sure how many. My earth was at war, and I was protecting my kind from the humans that wanted to kill us and experiment on us. We were losing, and my leader sent me to a portal to save me. It worked, only I ended up in 1943." Bruce's mouth dropped and he sat next to Tony. "Oh, it gets better." Tony told him. You shushed him and continued.
"On my earth, none of you are real." There was a murmur of 'whats' and 'hows that possible' from the people in front of you. "You are all characters in comic books and movies. Very well-known movies. Like twenty-two of them. And TV shows. It's all very popular."
"So, there's movies…about us?" Bruce asked. You nodded.
"Yes. A lot. Some of these movies have already happened in the timeline we are in now, some of them have not."
"So, you essentially know the future?" Natasha asked. You nodded. "This seems impossible." Bruce added. "I know it does Dr. Banner, but I promise you I'm telling you the truth."
Steve spoke up. "She is. When I met her in 1943, there were things that she knew that nobody but me and Buck could have known." You felt a pang of hurt when he mentioned Bucky, and you closed your eyes for a second. "There are things that need to happen, that I cannot change. There are also some things I'm going to try to change if I can. I promise you; I really want to help." You told them.
You tried to read everyone's expressions around the room. Bruce had his face twisted up, most likely trying to figure out the science behind how you had gotten there in the first place. Tony was in awe, and you knew he was never going to stop pestering you about the future. Steve had a smile on his face that you returned. You really did miss him, even though for you it had only been a few days. Natasha had a half scowl/amazement look on her face which you figured meant she at least believed you, or was starting to, she's always hard to read. Then there was Thor. His eyes were squinted, and he was trying to figure out if you were an enemy or not.
"Did you know of Loki's schemes? What he had planned to do? What he plans to do next?" Thor asked. You nodded.
"Yes, while I didn't wake up early enough to stop him from getting the Tesseract, I do know what his plans are for now, what he plans to do." You told them.
"So does Loki need any particular kind of power source?" Steve asked.
"He would have to heat the Cube to 120-million Kelvin just to break through the Coulomb barrier." Bruce told him.
"Unless Selvig figured out how to stabilize the quantum tunneling effect." Tony added.
"Well, if he could do that, he could achieve heavy ion fusion at any reactor on the planet." You smiled. Hearing Tony and Bruce talk science was probably one of the mor adorable things you'd ever heard.
"Finally, someone who speaks English."
"Is that what just happened?" Steve said. You laughed as Tony told Bruce he liked when he turned into a green rage monster. Fury came back in that moment, glaring at Tony.
"Banner is only here to track the cube. I was hoping you might join him."
You walked over and stood behind Steve when started talking about the scepter. Steve thought it worked like a Hydra weapon, but Fury told him is was powered by the cube, and that he wanted to find out how Loki used it to turn Barton and Selvig into flying monkeys.
"Monkeys, I do not understand." Thor said.
"I do!" Steve shouted. You laughed and Tony rolled his eyes. "I understood that reference." You laughed and patted Steve on the shoulder.
"Shall we play Doctor?" Tony said to Bruce as they exited the room, heading down to the lab.
"I'd like you to go down there with them Montgomery, help with any information you can about the staff and what Loki's intentions are next. You nodded and went to leave, Steve right behind you.
He stopped you down the hallway, pulling you into another hug. "When I woke up, they had me in some kind of room. I knew something was wrong because there was a game on the radio from 1941. I ran and ended up in Times Square, and Fury had told me I'd been asleep for 70 years." He whispered.
"I know." You told him, stepping back. "I'm so sorry Steve, I wanted to be there when you woke up, but Howard couldn't pinpoint the exact date, just the year."
"It's okay, I'm just glad you're here. The first thing I though of was that I miss my date with Peg. The second was that you hadn't made it here." He said, a look of hurt on his face. You took his hand and squeezed it. "I told you I'd find you. Peggy told me to tell you she missed you and that she loves you." Steve closed his eyes and tear fell down his face. You pulled him to you and ran your hand through his hair, telling him how sorry you were. "I'm so sorry Steve, I wish you had gotten more time together."
He nodded. "What about Bucky?" He said softly. You shook your head, looking down. "I have no idea where they are keeping right now, or if he's even awake. He could be in a cryo chamber. There's a lot of time in the movies between now and when we see him again, but I promise, let's deal with Loki and you and I will dig into it okay? We're going to find him." Steve nodded and gave your hand another squeeze, before leading you down to the lab.
