Archer vs Avengers
Chapter 2
A Week to Prepare
Emiya knew he had time to kill, so he decided to go see an old friend that lived in this time period. He was currently in his spiritual form and for five hours he has been heading to London to see his past self. He knew that Shirou Emiya of this time was in London attending the magician's school there.
It didn't take long to find him through his memories from when he was the boy. A good sized flat on a random street homed Shirou, the boy that would one day become a counter guardian. Emiya walked through the door and could tell where he lived by a listing to the side wall.
He walked to the correct door and knocked on the door and heard, "just a minute," come from Shirou before he opened the door. "Hello, what can I do for... ARCHER," was all he got before shouting the last part and passing out.
"Shock must have been too much for him," Emiya said out loud before picking up the boy and walking inside the flat.
"What's going on Shirou," the voice of Rin Tosaka came in, only to pause at seeing the guardian. "ARCHER," she yelled before tackling him in a huge hug that might have broken a few of his ribs.
"Good to see you as well Rin, but could you let go, I would like my ribs intact for when I fight the Avengers," Emiya said.
She let go of him just as Shirou came to and saw that it was indeed Archer, his future self and counter guardian to the world. "Did you just say something about the Avengers," Shirou asked as he set up.
Emiya turned to look at his past self and said, "yes I did, the world sent me to finally deal with them since any hero of this current age lacks the power to do so. There is also the matter that my particular skill set and power is best suited to combat the avengers, that doesn't mean I am the only one, just the best."
"Thank heavens that the mage's association is still a secret, even though the world now knows about magic," Rin told him.
"On top of that, the avengers and other groups that have revealed magic has put all the other mages on high alert," Shirou stated.
"I can't understand why anybody would do what the avengers do, the aftermath of them revealing themselves led to cosmic events that didn't need to happen," Emiya stated.
"We all know you will destroy the avengers, but why are you here with us instead," Shirou asked.
"I had time to kill, gave them a weak to put their affairs in order, but they won't take me seriously so they'll waste the chance," Emiya informed.
"That leads me to another thing, what about the cosmic threats too big for the government organizations," Rin asked.
"That is the only time the avengers can reunite, but threats like that are rarer than you think so you might only find them reuniting very little if they live through our fight," he stated.
"You didn't tell them that did you," Shirou asked as came in from the kitchen with some tea.
"I figured that point was rather obvious, but considering they got riled up, their judgment is clouded because of what I told them," Emiya guessed.
"It is obvious, I mean, it's not like the organizations like SHIELD or SWORD could fight the likes of Thanos or Galactus," Shirou remarked.
"Hydra is also a threat, but that group can be fought against by SHIELD, they have tons of agents and some heroes work for them as well," Rin mentioned.
"In truth, the avengers are just overkill on a lot of things, if they took their time to see the bigger picture then they would see that," Emiya said.
"Well, you have a weak to stay here, I'll let the association know what they need to know, just don't go overboard and destroy New York," she said.
"Thank you, and don't worry, I plan on moving this fight to my reality marble as soon as it starts to reduce the amount of damage," he said. They prepared the guest room for him so that he could rest for the fight, and they didn't see him much after that.
Avengers tower
The avengers were all sitting down and having a meeting about everything they just heard from the visitor. "We cannot disband on the whims of some mad man who believes he was chosen by the world," Stark stated up front.
"I agree, if we do we risk catastrophes happening and not getting there in time, we need to stay together," Falcone reasoned.
"Aye, I see no reason to listen to someone who says my birth mother, Gaia, sent him to force us into disbanding," Thor proclaimed.
"He said that it is referred to as Gaia, he never said that it was your mother, that would have been mentioned if that was the case. I think that it is just one of the names the world is referred to as, but your mother must be the actual Gaia," Captain America said.
"That sounds accurate, but what are we going to do about this guy when he comes in a weak. It's not like we can just do nothing and let him threaten New York to get to us, that's always a possibility," Black Widow theorized.
"We do what we always do, we take him, that's all we have to do," Hawkeye said while twirling an arrow.
"Don't be so sure, Jarvis didn't sense him when he came in until after we arrived, my gut tells me this will be a very tricky opponent," Captain America said.
"I'm always inclined to believe cap's gut more than anything else, and if he says this will be tricky, I believe him," Stark said.
"That may be, but in the end, we will still win, tough battle or not," Hawkeye said with a smile.
"That is certain, but what will we do about him, he isn't in our database at all, so we don't know what his powers are," Widow said.
"We know he can turn invisible, but that can't be all his powers if this world has decided to send him, a being like that would only send someone they were sure could win," Captain America guessed.
"It's more than that Cap, even if invisible, Jarvis should have been able to sense him with the new advanced sensors I installed. Which include inferred, by the way, the only way for him to did what he did would have been a hologram, but there were no signals coming from or into the tower," Stark said.
"On top of that, he was here before any of us and Jarvis didn't sense him until after we arrived in the building," Falcone informed as he pulled up video footage of the minutes leading up to the meeting.
"He made tea, how did Jarvis still not tell something was up when he made the tea," Widow asked.
"How did I not catch that, and how did Jarvis not, Jarvis, why couldn't you tell that the guy was making tea," Stark asked.
"I wasn't looking for it sir, you told me not to bother you unless there is an intruder in the tower, tea moving on its own was not a concern," the AI told him.
"This means we need to be extra careful when we face him in a week, but I think we should at least train a little for him," Captain America suggested.
"Why, this will probably just be somebody who we will humiliate so badly that the extra training will be overkill," Hawkeye guessed before standing up to leave.
"He's has a point Cap, just think, if he was really so powerful, why didn't we know about him till now, this will be more embarrassing for us rather than him, we'll have to fight him," Stark said before he also left.
"I'll train with you Cap, I don't like how that guy felt," Hulk said.
"I'll help as well, I'm with hulk about the guy," Widow offered.
"Good, we need to get to training then, I have a feeling that we don't have long before he gets here," Cap said.
