I thought the drive up to NYC was going to be silent and awkward because it was just Nat, Sam, and Me in one of the cars but after about fifteen minutes of awkward silence Sam and I started talking.

"So, who are you?" Sam asked.

"What'd you mean," I looked at him through the rearview mirror.

"Like, you just showed up here yesterday, who are you, what's your life, normally."

"Umm, well I'm in highschool. I get mediocre grades and overall I don't do much. It's funny when I was transported or whatever I was hanging out with my best friend Erin and we were going to finish our Marvel binge watching the next day. Every so often Erin makes me rewatch all of the Marvel movies. I think we were on Ragnarok but I honestly forget."

"What's Ragnarok about?"

"Well it's towards the end, its Thor's third movie and its honelty fucking amazing. Like the soundtrack and visuals alone are beautiful not to mention Taika Waititi directed it and was in it as Korg, who is the best character ever. Lots of shit happens, not giving spoilers yet," I wanted to wait on things like, all of Asgard might need to be destroyed, or Odins going to die and Thor's unknown sister will try to kill everyone. You know big stuff like that.

"Really, you're not going to tell us," Sam frowned at me.

"Yeah sorry but it's like way future stuff, it happens two or three years from now, so don't worry"

"Ok whatever, another question. How popular are we, who do fans like the most."

Oh boy, I'm going to have to choose my phrasing carefully. I started outright laughing because I couldn't help myself.

"Umm, you ok"

"Yeah I'm fine it's just, well you're all very popular but people really like some of the villains. There's also a lot of really weird ships. But some of the most popular characters at least in what I've seen are Loki, Bucky, and Tony. But in reality every character has their fans and their haters."

"Wait, people like Loki?" Nat spoke up for the first time.
"Hehe yeah it's mostly because lots of teenage girls think he's hot"

"Do you think he's hot," came from Nat.

"I mean he's not ugly, but like he's not really my type"

"That's weird, he literally tried to enslave the human race, people just ignore that" Nat said.

"Yeah, but also in their mind that is just a story and Loki's character is actually really interesting. He's done some bad things of course but overall very morally grey. His life hasn't been easy."

"I'm starting to think you're a little crazy, this is Loki we're talking about" Sam said.

"I know, Loki's one of the better villains we've had, and don't tell anyone this yet but he comes around, eventually."

"Really, that is hard to believe and I didn't even fight in the battle of New York" Sam said.

"I get it," came a soft whisper from Nat.

The rest of the car drive Sam and Nat just asked me more questions on what I thought of certain people or what my family was like. I told them that I had a soft spot for Bucky, thought Steve was good but far too self destructive and reckless, and that I was an only child with a pet frog.

I'd been to the mansion where they filmed the 70s adaptation of the Great Gatsby in Newport and that had been the definition of opulence, Avengers Tower however was completely different with its modern aesthetic and everything but it gave off the same vibes. Like I was going to break something and wasn't supposed to be here. We first went into this elevator and there weren't any buttons but it was my first interaction with Jarvis.

"Please state your name and what floor you would like to go to" omg, I need to stay calm.

"Natasha Romanoff and others, 82nd floor. Thanks Jarvis"

Holy shit I don't think it ever processed how tall the Avengers tower was, like I knew it was tall but I don't think that actually processed right. Wow my stupidity is amazing sometimes.

The doors opened and I walked out into a living room common space area, it was huge though, and the left wall was all windows looking out over Manhattan.

"Where's Cap, I thought he would be with you guys, oh and this must be Allison." Tony fucking Stark walked into my line of sight. Stay calm, calmy introduce yourself, wait he already knows your names and probably who you are, say hi, maybe, but say something.

"Hi, this is kinda crazy" Did I really just say that. Why am I like this.

"What, my house, yeah it's pretty big I guess, or are you talking about me. Either is fine"

"Tony, she's from a place where none of this exists, stop talking. And Steves came in a different car with Bucky. He'll be here soon" Nat came to my rescue.

"Oh I almost forgot about that part, now that is interesting. Bruce and I, I assume you know who Bruce is, have come up with a couple theories but aren't sure on anything yet" Tony led us into the living room as he talked. I was relieved to see that Sam looked just about as amazed at this place as I was. "Hey Jarvis,"

"Yes, sir"

"Can you tell Bruce that Natasha, Sam Wilson, and Allison are here."

"Of course"

"So, Hill said you needed to talk to me"

Oh boy, I had hoped for more than a couple minutes and maybe not in front of other people to have this conversation with him. Also ideally Pepper on hand if things get out of control. "Yeah, I need to talk to you but maybe now right now"

"Ok, just call me over whenever. Anyway I want to know all about your world, I've heard some things but not much"

"Well in my universe I guess you would call it, the avengers, all the aliens, villains and everything that you guys have done doesn't exist, and most if not all of the technology doesn't either. You guys are characters in what we call the MCU or Marvel Cinematic Universe. There's you guys in comic books but those versions of the characters and the story are different and we are definitely in the MCU. Also Marvels is just the company that produces all of the comics and movies. In my world your characters and stories were created by Stan Lee and adapted to film by many different directors. So far the franchise has 24 movies, it's incredible how they all exist in the same universe. Right now we're technically right before the events of Winter Soldier but also we've just prevented the events of that movie so I guess if you skip over Guardians because they're too far away then it's about a year till Ultron I think but that can also be changed. But overall all of you are characters, at this point all the Iron man movies have already happened, to be fair 2 and 3 are kinda blurry for me. But yeah, your characters, there's a huge fandom, the last Avengers movie in the current saga made a disgusting amount of money its opening weekend. Something like over a billion dollars globally, it broke all kinds of records."

"First of all, that's amazing. Second who's the most popular I need to know if I'm as famous in your world as I am here"

"Ahaha Sam asked the same question on the way here, you're not going to like the answer"

"It's Loki, apparently everyone loves Loki" Sam cut in.

"That makes no sense, he's evil" said Tony.

"Yeah, I explained this to them also, people think he's hot and his character is actually pretty well thought out. It's different when you've seen more of his life, or course there isn't a Loki movie yet but I think one's set to come out at some point."

"People think he's hot, what about me!"

"Yeah you get shipped with a lot of people also don't worry"

"What's shipped" came from Tony, Sam, and Nat simultaneously.

"Ahahsdfnevajlnl ummm well shipping is short for relationship, when someone ships two, or more, people they want those people to get together. All of you guys, like all of the avengers and everyone are shipped with many different people. Tony you are a popular one though."

"Ok, I don't want to know who you people have shipped me with do it"

"Oh, absolutely not, but I am going to tell you that you and Pepper's ship name is Pepperoni"

"Ok, that's great," said Nat.

"Hmm can you possibly bring that up with pepper the next time she's around, I want to see her reaction to that"

"Ok, sure I guess"

Then Bruce entered the room, he looked pretty tired.

"Hey get over here, I've been asking Allison some questions about her world"

"Hi "

"Umm hello"

Tony kept asking me more questions about the nature of how I came here and I dodged some of them because, spoilers but most I didn't have an answer to. Like I don't know how I got here, one second I was at home then I was falling then I was here. What do I know.

Authors Note- Sorry that was a short chapter, I haven't been as focused as I would like to be recently so hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to put out a longer chapter. Love hearing your reviews and comments, thanks for reading.
