Hey guys! This is the prologue, so forgive me for it being short!
Disclaimer: I don't own the Avengers.
Pepper was casually sitting on one of the many balconies of Stark towers and enjoying a glass of wine whilst gazing up at the starry night. This was her favourite time of day. It was so peaceful and gave her time to relax after a stressful day of managing Stark Industries. Star gazing was a secret pastime of hers. She loved the watching the stars twinkle gently above her as if protecting her from the great dangers of the undiscovered galaxies. After finishing her wine she got out her star gazing equipment and flipped to a new page in her star journal. She kept all kinds of constellations and messages she decoded from the stars. She had already saved New York one time from a minor explosion disaster through the warning given by the stars. This was another reason she liked them. Even when all was lost she knew that the stars would always be there for her. She sat down and looked up at the twinkling sky. She recognised one of his favourite constellations The Great Dipper and one of her most recent discoveries a tiny speck of a far of galaxy. She found this particular galaxy 2 weeks ago by accident while hitting the zoom button on her telescope a few too many times. She made up her mind to ask Tony if she could take some time off minding the industry and conduct some research on the nearby galaxies. Although he may have more self-importance than what's good for him….. She loved him. He has been through so much and she knew she would always be there for him. Now she just needed to convince him of this.
She blinked a couple of times and realised she had been day dreaming. She resumed her star gazing and found some unusual alignments. She looked up puzzled and realised this was another message. She frantically fumbled around for is decoding book in the pale moonlight. Once she found it she quickly flipped to her handmade stardecoding guide. After a few minutes of copying down the star alignment into her book she sat down and began decoding the message. After about an hour she had the message. It read, -MUST-ASSEMBLE-THE-AVE NGERS-TO-SAVE-THE-UNIVERSE. BUT-THIS WILL-NOT–BE-ENOUGH. SEEK-THE-ASSISTANCE-OF-THE-AVENGERS-DESCENDANTS. THEY-ARE-THE-KEY-TO-YOUR-SUCCESS. YOU-DO-NOT-HAVE-MUCH-TIME. She had to read it a couple of times for it to register in her mind. The words jumped out at her - great danger. Now there was a problem with that phrase. Firstly the avengers haven't assembled in nearly a millennia. The last time they were seen together was the tesseract incident and that almost ended catastrophically. How were the going to do it again when perhaps the world was at stake? Secondly the avengers' descendants were supposed to assist in this mission. Descendants? Even if they were to have descendants how were we supposed to get them? Would there be an alternate universe? Maybe they lived on that galaxy she discovered? Thoughts were flying through her mind faster than she could comprehend. She let out a deep breath. This information must be delivered to Tony as soon as possible. She gathered all her instruments and ran to see Tony.
