A/N: And here I present...

REWRITTEN CHAPTER 2! *jazz hands*

Lol I hope ya'll like

As weird as it sounds, Josh had a peculiar fear of getting abducted. Probably because of all those alien stories his cousins used to tell him during family reunions.

They would say stuff about an alien wanting to phone home or whatever (turns out they were talking about E.T.).

After a few years, he finally convinced himself there was absolutely zero chances of him getting abducted.

But when life shows him otherwise, he strangely accepts it like he's never heard a single alien story in his life.

He guessed the reason why he wasn't panicking was because an Avenger was the one who abducted him.

The Black Widow led both him and Alana (Josh didn't want to complain in front of Black Widow, but he would've preferred his pal Martin over Little Miss Princess) into a helicopter. Super cool.

Josh felt a bit guilty though for leaving his school at its current state, but Black Widow did assure them help was on its way.

He climbed into the black chopper and took the passenger seat. "I call shotgun!"

"Hey! I wanna sit there, too." Alana complained.

Before Josh could answer back, Black Widow entered. "Neither of you are sitting here." She said. "Both of you sit at the back."

Josh and Alana sighed and did as requested.

Natasha told them to fasten their seat-belts, only giving them a few seconds before taking off into the air.

The first few minutes of the ride flew in silence. Finally, Alana spoke up.

"Um, Miss Black Widow—"

"'Natasha' would do." Natasha said.

Alana nodded. "Uh, Natasha? Can you please explain what's going on?"

Natasha sighed. "About a week ago, Captain America, Falcon, and I went on a mission to retrieve some stolen weapons from HYDRA. It was a simple mission: go in and out. But it wasn't that easy, much to our surprise. Before we left, we came across this fleshy robot called—"

"Ultron Jr." Josh and Alana said in unison.

Natasha nodded. "We were surprised to see Ultron had a "son" in HYDRA, considering that Ultron wasn't affiliated with them. We came to a conclusion that someone from HYDRA had made a replica of Ultron, naming him his son. But the identity of Ultron Jr.'s inventor remains unknown."

Alana raised her hand. "And how do we come in?"

Natasha's green eyes darkened, similar to how Alana's own green eyes darkened when someone talked about fathers around her. Josh knew the reason for this, but always kept silent.

"My boss, Director Nick Fury, thought when there comes a time we need to talk or reason with the robot, a younger set of minds would come in handy, since Ultron Jr. was built with a teenage mindset. So it'll be like a "teen-to-teen" sorta thing."

"Then why do we have to learn to fight when we're just gonna talk?"

Josh rolled his eyes. "So that we know what to do incase Ultron Jr. attacks, obviously."

Natasha nodded again. "Correct."

Josh stuck his tongue out, closing one eye and pulling down the other with his index finger.

Alana huffed in reply and flipped her black curls dramatically.

"Any other questions?" Natasha prompted.

Josh, this time, spoke. "How long will training be?"

Natasha closed her mouth for a moment. "Three weeks at most, from 8 to 5, weekdays."

The corners of Josh's mouth faced downwards. "But my bros and I always have Bro-Bonding Time every Broday..."

Alana stifled a laugh. "Broday?"

"It's Bro Code for Friday."

"You know," Natasha interrupted, "I could kick you out of Avengers training if you want."

Josh immediately felt defensive mode turn on. "No, no! I-I'm fine, thank you. I can always have Bro-Bonding Time next time." He blabbered.

This time Alana couldn't hold it in. She burst out into a series of laughs, much to Josh's embarrassment.

Josh noticed that Natasha didn't even crack a smile, which he found quite disturbing and weird. Sure, he was grateful for the heroine for not laughing, but ever since getting abducted by her, he's never seen her show a sense of humor. Josh, as always took this as a challenge to make her even smile a little during his three weeks with the Avengers.

Oh, gosh. Three weeks with the Avengers. Josh still couldn't believe it.

"We're here." Natasha finally announced.

Josh twisted his body so that he could see the view from his window. As the clouds cleared, he was able to make out a grey, wide building not too tall, but really impressive. Green fields surrounded the building.

Sweet, Josh thought. Perfect for playing frisbee (which was his favorite sport).

At the center top of the building, there was a huge A placed there: the Avengers' logo.

"Wow." Alana said, clearly just as amazed as Josh.

After a couple of minutes, the quinjet landed on an area of the grassy fields. Natasha was the first to exit, followed by Josh and Alana.

Josh was suddenly struck by a cold wind, sending chills down his spine. Coming from a burning building, he nearly forgot that winter was on its way into becoming spring, meaning that there was still cool in the air. He crossed his arms in an attempt to heat himself up a bit, even though he was wearing a coat.

"So," Natasha turned to face the two teens, "welcome to the Avengers Facility."

Alana raised her hand. "What happened to the Avengers Tower?"

Josh wanted to tape her mouth shut. "Can you stop asking questions? We're already here and—"

"No, no. It's okay. I can answer your question." Natasha insisted, though it was hard to tell whether she was being sincere.

"The Tower's still there. Tony Stark currently resides there, enjoying his retirement from "saving the world". But he occasionally visits us here."

Alana nodded.

"Come on." Natasha said. "Let's go inside." She led the two teens into the Facility.

The inside was just as impressive. The floor was tiled with newly-polished white tiles, matching the ivory white walls at the side. The ceilings practically touched the sky, giving an impression of space. Josh felt like he could finally breath.

The trio went into a narrower corridor which had many sub-hallways (A/N: idk what to call them) at either side, leading to who-knows-where. Natasha turned to one of the sub-hallways on her left, which led her toward a staircase going up. Josh and Alana followed suit.

Upstairs, there was a railing that connected from one wall to the other. Beyond the railing, the view of the first floor could be seen.

"You could sightsee later." Natasha said, bringing Josh out of a trance. "But right now, we have to train you two."

Josh and Alana sighed before trailing behind her once again. They finally made it in front of two blue doors. Natasha opened both and the view that laid on Josh's eyes nearly made him faint.

It was a training room. But not just any training room. The training room that the actual, legit Avengers trained at. It wasn't as big as the room back at the entrance, but it was really breath-taking and quite remarkable. It was twice the size of the gym back at school.

Hundreds of gadgets and training equipment alike filled the sides, still giving space to exercise. Several blue mats layered the floor. Bug windows lined the walls, allowing sunlight into the room. And at the center of all this were five very hard-to-miss figures.

"The Avengers," Alana said, stealing the words out of Josh's mouth.

There they were. The Falcon,Scarlet Witch, The Vision, War Machine, and of course, Captain America.

Josh was most marveled (A/N: ba dum tsss) by Captain America because he was Josh's hero. A long time ago, back when Josh's grandpa was still a kid of the 40's, the Captain had saved hum from getting kidnapped by a HYDRA man. If it weren't for Captain America, Josh wouldn't even exist.

Just as Josh went out of his reverie, Captain America paused his training to approach them. Josh immediately felt tense.

The Star Spangled Man With A Plan was wearing his iconic red, white, and blue uniform. He was wearing brown combat boots and his blonde hair appeared to be shining under the sunlight. He was the epitome of the perfect American role model.

"Um..." Josh mumbled, suddenly finding an interest in fidgeting with the end of his shirt.

The Captain simply chuckled. "So these two must be Alana Hudgens and Josh Evansson, hm?"

Natasha nodded gravely. She leaned in a bit closer to Captain's ear. "Steve, are you sure they can handle this?" She whispered, probably intending for only Steve to hear.

Despite that, Josh could hear her. This made Josh feel underestimated, a feeling Josh hated.

Steve waved his hand dismissively. "Come on, Nat. Where's your sense of faith? I'm sure they'll be fine."

Steve turned his attention toward Josh and Alana.

"Don't worry about it. You guy will do great."

Before Josh and Alana could react, Steve went back to the middle of the training room. The two teens followed him. They seemed to be getting used to following people by now.

Steve turned around to face the teens. "According to the coordinates Natasha gave me—"

"Wait." Alana interrupted. "Since when did Natasha give you coordinates? She was flying the jet this whole time, wasn't she?"

Natasha flashed a sly smile. "I'm known for multitasking."

Steve rolled his eyes. "It's true."

Josh sensed there was something going on between these two, but he decided not to question it and go with the flow.

"Anyway," Steve continued, "according to those coordinates, you two were able to somehow beat Ultron Jr., correct?"

Alana nodded confidently whilst Josh nodded only half as enthusiastic. He'd never admit it out loud, but Alana had done way more than Josh in defeating the robot. He was already feeling quite inferior over the fact that Alana was of the same height as him (he tried to tip-toe sometime when he was around her just to feel a sense of superiority).

Plus, the only reason Josh went there was because Coach Table told him to get Alana. Not because he wanted to sacrifice himself and protect everybody from the evil monster threatening their school. Some Avenger he was.

"Well, for two teens with zero experience in fighting whatsoever, you've done a pretty good job." Steve said.

Josh may have felt his cheeks flush red. He noticed Alana's cheeks taking a shade of red as well.

"Unfortunately, I don't think that was the last you'll see of Ultron Jr." Natasha ventured in. "Which is why we should start training now."

Just from looking around the room, Josh could already feel the adrenaline rushing up. He looked back at Alana and the two Avengers. He flashed a smile, feeling a little bit more confident now.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" He asked. "Let's get started."

A/N: And that concludes Chapter 2. It's not as long as the first chapter, which had 3000+ words but eh. I'm lazy. Lol.

I'm sorry, btw, for removing the TØP part, TØP fans (especially to you, Thala, if you're reading this).

Now I'm planning on posting a new chapter every Sunday (despite HopeIsTheWorld's protests), if I'm consistent and not procrastinating or studying. FYI, I got at least three chapters already written down rn, waiting to get published. But I prefer to take things slow and I hope you could understand (YAH HOPE).

Ruby out. PEACE.
