Thank you so much for your kind review, Acae. Don't worry, the story's not over yet! (Not even close.)

I own Taylor, Tyler, and Reagan.

Pepper quietly slipped away after the movie was over, leaving the twins and Reagan to make conversation. After a long, awkward pause, Reagan finally broke the silence.

"So... you're from the future?" she asked.

Tyler pounced on the opportunity. "Yup! We're Tony Stark's future kids! We didn't mean to come back in time- it was a total accident- and now we're stuck here."

Reagan had to giggle a little bit at the ridiculousness of that statement, and how he had said it in such a matter-of-fact manner. "How does one accidentally travel back in time?"

"Long story short, we found a broken thingmajig in our Dad's lab, and Tyler fixed it, and it sent us back in time and now we're here," Taylor explained.

Reagan smiled. "What's it like in the future? Do we have flying cars and pet dinosaurs?"

"No flying cars, sorry. Dad tried a couple of times but the weight of the car was always greater then the maximum lift that could be generated by arc reactor thrusters," Tyler said.

"And as for pet dinosaurs... well, there was that one supervillain who covered an island with them, right?"

"You might be thinking of Jurassic Park," Tyler offered. "I knew you saw it at too young an age."

"We're twins! We saw it at the same time!"

"Yes, but I was better able to comprehend what was happening."

"You're not smarter then me!"

"That's not what I said," Tyler defended, even though it was exactly what he had said, except in bigger words.

"I might not be a frigging genius, but I know a

shit-ton of things you don't know."

"Like what?"

Reagan cleared her throat, reminding the bickering siblings she was still there. "Wow, you guys really are twins. It's funny, though. You look nothing alike."

Tyler and Taylor both shrugged, not sure how to explain that away without giving away their origin. Tyler finally said, "Our parents said that too."

Reagan seemed to accept the explanation and moved on. "You guys want to do something? We could go to the beach. It's super nice out."

Taylor bit her lip. She had a bad habit of electrocuting any large bodies of water she happened to be in, something that had been discovered when she almost killed Tyler when they were in the big pool at Stark Tower. Tyler had apparently tracked her thoughts.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea," he said.

Reagan looked disappointed. "Why not? You can both swim, right?"

Taylor said softly, "We can swim, but I never do."

"Are you scared to?"

"In a way."

"Well, alright. If you don't want to, I won't force you. I'll admit I'm a little disappointed, though," Reagan said before changing the subject. "Want to look around instead? We might find something really cool."

"Sure," the twins both said before attempting to jinx each other.

"Jinx!"

"Jinx!"

"I said it first that time," Taylor declared.

"No, it was the same time."

"No!"

"Hey, you can't argue this. You're jinxed."

"No, you are."

Taylor was getting really riled up, Tyler noticed. She was sparking a little bit. He leaned over and muttered in her ear, "Maybe calm down a little bit before our babysitter notices you're electrically powered?"

Reagan, in fact, had already noticed, and was trying to make sense of it, but soon gave up, becuase, well, you can't make sense of something like that. "Um, Taylor... why are you... there are sparks coming off of you. Should I be worried?"

Taylor was rendered mute for a moment. In the future, their powers were a well-known fact and they frequently helped their parents fight supervillains, but in the past... well, SHIELD already knew, but besides that, if anyone found out what they were capable of, she wasn't sure what would happen. It would probably be very bad.

"Static electicity?" she tried weakly.

"We were sitting on that couch for an awfully long time," Tyler said. He was also inwardly freaking out, but was doing better at keeping it under control because he'd had a lot of practice.

Reagan just shook her head. "Try again, kiddos."

Taylor took a deep breath and then recited the whole story. "So in the future our dad, Tony Stark, is part of a superhero team called the Avengers, and there are six of them. At some point this organization called SHIELD took blood from them, and made us out of that, so we got all of their powers. So Tyler is a supergenius who you never want to make mad, and I got lightning powers as well as being a fricking ninja."

Reagan stared at her for a moment before nodding. "Okay."

Tyler blinked. "Really? Just like that?"

"Sure. I've had my run-ins with shady science as well."

"Can I ask what happened?" Tyler asked tentatively.

Reagan thought for a moment and then nodded slowly. "Alright, but don't expect me to go into too much detail."

"What happened?"

"Basically, my dad needed a test subject and I was available. I don't want to say exactly what happened, mainly because I'm not sure. I was really young at the time, but you can bet your ass whatever it was wasn't legal. I ran away afterwards, and when I was old enough, applied for a job at Stark Industries."

Taylor and Tyler both stared at their babysitter for a moment, seeing her in an entirely different light for the first time. Tyler opened his mouth and was about to ask a question when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

I hope you liked this chapter! Sorry it took so long to write, I was busy with school and soccer.
