So surprise surprise! Chapter 3 is here! You can thank the fact that I was on a flight to Florida while typing this for you guys. And because Disney is not really a vacation for my family, it was hard for me to find time to post anything when we have to wake up at 6:30 or earlier every morning, do a full day at one of the parks, and then return back to the room at 10 or 11 at night. So I did write this chapter and chapter 4 up on the flights down and I plan on writing more on the flight back up. By the way, what airport doesn't sell gum at any store in the airport…Orlando, Orlando does not.
Did I forget my disclaimer?
I do not own any characters or Marvel in this fic.
*Skye POV*
We were all looking at the stone embedded in Vision's forehead.
"But that cannot be," Vision said to the AI, "This is not the stone of time."
"Stone of time?" Thompson asked, "Ok hold up here, I first want to know why that guy looks like red skull and what that glowing 'stone' on his forehead is and this stone of time!"
"It's my fault," Tony spoke up, "If I didn't create Ultron-"
"What is it with Starks' and their inventions messing everything up," Thompson asked while receiving a glare from Peggy and both Starks.
"Wait," Howard said suddenly looking at Tony, "Stark?"
"We can discuss that later but for right now we have more important problems and questions that need answers," I said breaking up whatever the two Starks could start with each other.
"Fine," Tony said, "Friday bring up the infinity stones and Point Break take lead again in explaining."
"These are the infinity stones," Thor said point to the array of colored stones, "Each hold a power that can be dangerous if in the wrong hands, especially if all brought together."
"Well we learned how dangerous one was with a crazed god," Clint said aggravated.
"Dare you talk like that about my brother!" Thor said taking a step towards Clint, "A prince of Asgard!"
"He killed 80 people in two days," Natasha reminded him.
Thor looked sheepishly at the ground, "He is adopted."
"We are getting off track," I said making the Avengers stop refocus.
"My little sister is right," Thor said before turning back to the stones.
Let me explain here. After Thor saw that I would always chose Steve, he stopped courting me and saw me more as a little sister.
"The only one of the stones that could transport us through time would be the time stone," Thor said pointing to one of the stones, "I find that there is no coincidence that this is the fourth stone put into play on earth. Someone has started to enact their plan."
"Well we have one," Tony said pointing to Vision, "Thor destroyed one, another is back on Asgard, the guardians of the galaxy know the whereabouts of another, and we now know that the time stone is in play."
"And Ultron was just a piece in a larger plan," Steve said.
"And who is Ultron," Thompson asked.
Thompson seemed to be the leader of the agents, even Peggy Carter.
"Ultron was an AI that I found in the aftermath of a destroyed alien aircraft," Tony said, "I wanted to see what it was and how complete it was. Basically see how advanced the aliens that attacked us were."
"Which seems where everything went wrong," Agent Sousa spoke up who had been quiet for most of the time.
"Yes," Tony said sadly, "unfortunately I was not in the room when Ultron was activated and because of that he ended up destroying my AI who was trying to pacify him. Good thing I have many backups"
"Which is also my fault," Banner spoke up, "I helped him even though I thought it was a bad idea."
"It doesn't matter now," Natasha said placing a hand on Banner's shoulder, "He is destroyed."
"Well besides for what Little Witch has in her hand," Tony said pointing at the device still in Scarlet's hand.
At that same moment Wanda yelped and dropped the device onto the table. Pulling back wide eyed she held her hand close to her which looked to be slightly red from burns. All of a sudden the device opened, revealing a stone that looked like the time stone Thor showed us.
"That is why we are here," Tony said staring at the stone as it pulsed with power, "Little Witch must have activated it with her powers when I hit the central core of Ultron's device."
"I did not mean for such a thing to happen," Wanda said sadly while starting to break down into tears.
I quickly ran over to her and brought her into a tight hug followed closely by Clint.
"What is wrong with her," Thompson asked which earned him an icy look from Clint.
"She just lost her twin brother while we were fighting on the city," Clint said with his voice starting to soften, "I owe him my life."
At that Thompson effectively shut his mouth.
Once Wanda was calmed down I joined back into the conversation.
"Essentially we need to build a way to activate the stone again to be able to get home," Tony said already drawing up blueprints for experiments.
"I could help with that," Howard spoke up hopefully.
Tony took a deep breath before looking back to Howard, "Maybe. But I do want Banner's help."
Banner shook his head, "I need to figure out a way to try to connect to your systems in the future to let the others know that was are ok."
Tony sighed, "Ok Da-…Howard, you can help me."
Howard only nodded before following his son out of the room.
"Well," Steve said turning his chair back to face Peggy, "What is this organization?"
"This is the SSR," Peggy replied.
"The foundation of SHIELD," I heard Natasha whisper to me.
"And what is this SHIELD?" Peggy asked.
"Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division, or SHIELD for short," Natasha tells Peggy.
"And as for you," Peggy said looking towards Natasha, "How do we know we can trust you?"
"There is no need to question Tasha's loyalty," Steve said standing up from his seat angrily.
He winced however when Natasha wacked him upside the head, "What did I tell you about calling me that?"
The SSR agents were looking between Natasha and Steve in shock at what just occurred before them. However, it was Peggy who was sporting the look of jealousy.
I interrupted the long period of silence by clearing my throat, "In the meantime, is there any place for us to stay and train?"
"Yes," Peggy said, mood lightening, "I think I have a place in mind."
Ok I am going to stop it right here for now.
