The Little Girl and the Ottomans

Chapter 12

Scar had finished the tour earlier. Everyone that hadn't come here before was mesmerized by the advanced look of Skyway Patrol's HQ. But something was still missing. Engi and his team haven't returned yet. It wouldn't be complete until they returned.

Gem sat on a crate, watching Val as she played with Shade. The adults left them to their own time when Vic mentioned having a private talk with Shifu. She still didn't trust Vic. She has a feeling he may be trying something.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she noticed one of the hangars opened up, letting an airship inside before it closed again. Val noticed it as well.

"You think that was them," Val asked.

"Probably. From what we heard, they are the only ones out and about. Let's go see," Gem replied. Shade allowed the two of them on her back, and rushed towards the airbase. Miniature drones flew around, making sure the aircraft stationed in the airbase were ready for their next mission, when that comes.

And, like they believed, it was Engi and his team who stepped out. Gem and Val were shocked at their new clothes and features, but it went away when they noticed them.

"Well ah be damned. You two are back already," Engi said. Soldier scoffed and looked away from them while Medic glared at him. Their arrival seemed to cause a stir in the base, as the others rushed over to them. Jenny gasped when she saw Owen.

He looked familiar to a long lost hero from the Golden Age of Heros.

"Hey Jenny! How's the..." Quinn watched as Jenny walked right up to Owen, the same shocked expression still plastered on her face. She looked at him, up and down, and stared at his face for a while before she stepped back a little.

"Starlord?"

Everyone looked at her in shock, Damien spitting out his drink when she said that.

"Uh...hehe...listen uh, I think you got me confused with somebody else," Owen told her.

"But...you look just like him," she said. Demo wandered up to them, placing his arm on Owen's shoulder. He tried saying something, but his voice was slurred to the point that he was just babbling to himself.

"You know, he does look suspiciously like Starlord, doesn't he," Scar interjected Demo's speech.

"Who is Starlord? China wasn't exactly known for knowing superheros too well. The only Starlord I knew was a bootleg action figure I got as a gift as a kid," Vinç questioned. Jenny knew she had some explaining to do, so she took in a breath before she began to speak.

"Starlord was...well...a superhero from the Golden Age of Heros, which spanned from the early nineties to late 2010's. He was a members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, who were destined to protect Andromeda from evil. They were also part of the Avengers, an Earth-based organization destined to protect Earth."

"I know them! Me and Quinn met Iron Man on a skiing trip back in our timeline," Val interjected. Jenny smiled at her before she went back to explaining.

"I have a full list of heros that were part of it at the end of the Golden Age of Heros," she said. A piece of paper ejected from her mouth, which shocked them a little, before she handed it to Val. The kids moved in closer to look at the paper.

"Let's see here...hm...Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, of course," Quinn began. "There's also Falcon, Hawkeye, Quicksilver, Spider-man, Vision, War Machine, Doctor Strange, and Scarlet Witch. Alright."

"Wait...who are these heros? Mario, Luigi, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, El Tigre...and Danny!?" Gem growled when she saw Danny's name. Dark exited from Val's ring.

"Danny!? Where!? Once I find him I'm gonna wring his neck," she roared.

"Calm down, calm down. I was just about to get there. Those other heros joined the Avengers during their late teens, while a few, like Danny, were already adults by the time they joined. Danny was a great hero, able to turn himself into a ghost and such. But then...many of the heros vanished."

"What happened to them," Val questioned with a worried look on her face.

"Back in 2018, the last year of the Golden Age, a new villain arrived by the name of Thanos. With a gauntlet that allowed him to control the power of "Infinity Stones," he simply snapped his fingers. That action caused most of the Avengers, along with half the universe, to vanish into thin air."

Everyone just went silent. They were too shocked to speak. One man, with some powerful stones, managed to wipe out half the universe with a single snap!?

"The only ones that survived from that last list were Blossom and Danny. Danny was full of anger. He lost his human form, and took on the life of a villain. He dissappeared for 300 years before he came back to terrorize Earth again," Jenny concluded.

"Wait, what happened to Blossom," Angel asked.

"She died a few years later during the Battle of Megaville. She had a daughter by then, Mimi I think, that the villain that destroyed her, HIM, took. Many heros died in the fight. I'm the last hero in existence, being created many years after the events that I explained and after the Golden Age ended."

The kids shuddered at the mentioned of HIM. Didn't he have another name besides that? Shifu fount them after he noticed Prieto was being escorted to the prison cells.

"Your back. Have you fount Tai-Lung yet," he questioned.

"Not yet partner. But we do have a lead. Our next baddie to beat is our good ol' pal Merasmus the Wizard," Engi told him. Rocco shot up at the mention of wizard.

"Wizard!? I was a wizard once," Rocco interjected.

"Who is Merasmus," Owen asked.

"Merasmus is THE oldest person in the world thanks to his magic. My team and him kinda have a long rivalry," Engi explained.

"Thanks to him, we can even cast a few spells of our own, with a spell book of course," Medic added.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go find Merasmus," Angel said.

"Oh no, you're going back to your timeline. Remember what I said before," Jenny said. Owen looked down at Val. He didn't want her in this place anymore. If what Jenny said is true, he doesn't want Val to be around if they come.

"I thank you for taking care of these guys while they were over here," Owen told Jenny. She nodded as he picked up Val. "Alright everyone, let's go."

"NO!" Val didn't want to leave. She transformed into a hummingbird and flew out of his arms, flying into a building that Engi and his team were about to head into.

"And there she goes again," Rocco said.

"Val!" Owen ran after Val, with those from her timeline following after. The others followed as well, because Val flew right into their team's personal armory, a place that Engi didn't want anyone in. Owen was the first one in, and fount Val hiding under a control panel with a big red button on it.

"Val, come on, we're going home," Owen told her, looking under the control panel. Vida looked around the room. It held a bunch of weapons and gadgets, some of which she has never seen before. Soldier looked at the button on the control panel. He was tempted to push it.

"Val, come out of there. Owen is simply wanting you safe," Devlin added to the conversation. Soldier walked passed her, standing over Owen as he tried to convince Val to get out from under the panel.

"Soldier, what are you doing," Aggie asked. Jenny looked over at Soldier, and her eyes widened.

"Soldier! NO!" He didn't listen as he pressed the button.

"I won," Soldier exclaims. Everyone from his timeline looked at him in anger while everyone else looked at him in confusion. "No, wait."

On the other side of the room, a portal was generated. It began to suck everyone in. Devlin simply used her magic to stick everyone to the floor...well, from her timeline. Soldier, Scout, Demo, Engi, Medic, and Sniper were sucked into the portal. Jenny gasped before she grabbed a small device and put it on her head. It stuck to her as she was prepared to jump in.

"What happened to them," Owen asked.

"They went into a dimension you REALLY don't want to be in," she told him. Owen pondered over what she meant, but shook his head as he jumped in.

"Come on! Let's go! We gotta help her," Damien said, trying to drag Jay.

"I'm up for another adventure," Gem stated.

"Someone's gotta go in after them," Claire said. She looked over at the wall of weapons and noticed a glass casing. Inside it is...

"Starlord's stuff. Wait... Owen, put these on," Damien said. He took out the gadgets from the casing and handed them to Owen.

"Oh no! I'm not putting these on," he told them.

"Come on uncle Owen! Do it for us! Do it for them," Val said. Owen looked down at Val. He would've said no again, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. Sighing, he put on the mask and activated a switch. The rest of the suit unfolded, and he grabbed the dual-wield pistols.

"Guess I gotta do it," Owen joked. Everyone clapped as Owen took omen of the devices Jenny put on, and jumped through. Just as he did however, the portal ruptured, and deactivated itself.

"Owen! Jenny!"

On the other side of the portal, Jenny landed on her feet. Before she could stand up straight, Owen crashed into her. He simply slid off of her as she turned back towards him.

"Wait, Owen!? Why did you follow me," she questioned while helping him up. "With Starlord's stuff no less."

"Meh, decided to come. Noticed Starlord's stuff there and decided to put it on, you know, since I apparently look like him," Owen explained.

"So...you wouldn't mind me calling you Starlord right?"

"That would be okay I guess," Owen told her. She smiled before the two looked around at their surroundings.

They were up in the mountains. Owen swore they were in the desert a few minutes ago. Jenny's attention soon focused on someone in the distance. The two walked towards the figure and finally fount who he was. It was Scout.

He was standing there, admiring his surroundings. Something on another mountain caught his eye. Owen looked at him in confusion.

"Is he alright," Owen asked Jenny.

"He's under the effects of this dimension, so I don't know," Jenny told him.

"What's wrong with this dimension anyway? Looks normal to me," Owen asked her.

"Well...this place is referred to as...the Smexual Realm." After saying this, Scout put his baseball cap on the ground before JUMPING INTO IT. The hat then floated into the air before flying like a UFO to the other mountain. Owen stood there, flabbergasted at what he had just witnessed.

"What...the...fuck."

"Yeah, I know. There is a lot more where that came from. These little devices stop these effects from happening, so we will be normal unless they fall off," Jenny told him. Owen breathed a sigh of relief before Jenny activated her thrusters and took off. Owen tried that as well...to some less desirable results.

Jenny was about to grab Scout's hat, which Scout was still inside, with a bucket of chicken floating under it. Before she could, Owen crashed into her, which sent her tumbling into Scout's hat, and the three began to free fall down to Earth.

"WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS!?"
