Outside

"Here's the academy office, of course."

"I saw that." I said to her, "do you know of it's history?"

"Ahh history isn't my thing. Kicking bad guy butts, party planning, and Super hero fashion design is. Oh right my shop! I have to show it to you!"

"Wait! Before you shrink down into Tinkerbell size again how about we get there like normal people. I mean you really kinda surprised the snot out of me doing that."

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry I did that to you." She said embarrassed, "I mean I didn't mean to get carried away."

"It's okay it's next time I'd like a little warning ahead of time, please and thank you."

"Wow you're as nice and polite like Steve is!"

"I come from a very christian family with a little old school ideals, my folks are strict yet laid back."

"Cool. Okay come with me I'll show you my shop next."

"Sure."

Her clothing shop was simply amazing. It was high quality fashion couture right down to the price tag... "I love you're fashions but I can't afford these... I'm from a middle class family and my allowance for here isn't much either. Then again that might change too."

"Well how about we work something out then."

"Well I do have experience making and designing clothes."

"Awesome! That's it you're my partner!"

"Ok that is a deal I never disagree to."

She showed me the Library, Dr. Hank Pym's laboratory, Stark Tower, the club, the firing range, the Timeless Archives, the race track, SHIELD HQ, and the robo dojo before finally showing me the dormitory.

"Due to the time fog there are a few places still blocked off for now, and the campus is still in the works."

"I can see that Jann."

"Jann... I love it!" She said hugging me as I smiled. We went inside as Hulk saw me.

"Melly!" He said as he hugged me... surprisingly not as tight as I expected, I was still able to breath.

"I was only gone for a short while Big Dude." I spoke as I hugged back.

"Are you ok?"

"Hulk I'm a tough girl Big Dude, I've learned a lot the past few years."

"You want to talk about it Melly?" Asked Natasha.

"Some of the stuff that happened there had a tendency to follow me home, but my faith and making new real friends that helped more than anything."

Natasha gave me a hug, "How do you stay positive after all that happened to you?"

"I learned to forgive fast after all that was done, but you should never forget it because stuff like that should only make you stronger on inside."

"Are you sure you are not related to Steve?" asked Loki.

"Loki, right eh?"

"Indeed I am, and I will admit you're mother's cookies are a delight."

"Hulk likes Melly's Mom's Cookies too."

"Awe man, you guys had cookies?" said Sam.

"Relax guys Mom gave me a care package before I left!" I said as it wasn't long before everyone was after me wanting one. Luckily I had my bullwhips as I was hanging around trying not to lose any of Mom's fresh baked cookies. Maybe I should ask Spiderman for acrobatic tips.

"Those little things aren't good for a lady's figure. And you my dear are no lady." said a long blonde haired chick in green top with black skirt, gold jewelry and matching thigh high boots.

"That would be Amora the Enchantress, she's from Asgard too." said Jann.

"Ahh." I spoke, "I'm Melanie Hansen, it's really nice to meet you."

"Charmed I'm sure." Amora sneered, "now excuse me."

"Um Sure." I spoke letting her move by, "Is she ever nice?"

"Rarely," Jann replied back.

"She reminds me of a lot of people at the place you guys hauled me out of."

"Well I'm glad you were able to join us Melly." said Steve finally joining us, "I was finishing up my report to give to Fury in the morning."

"I thought so..." I yawned.

"Get some rest girl, I'll let you know when we need you for a mission," said Steve.

I nodded as he guided me to my room.

Morning

I woke up feeling sore and stiff, "Great," I thought, "just the way I want to start my first day in my new School."

There was a knock on my door as I saw a woman with orange red hair, Pepper Potts I guessed.

"Good morning." I said with a smile and cheery voice.

"Morning Miss Hansen, I'm Pepper Potts." She said, smiling at me.

"Nice to meet you." I replied shaking her hand.

"Thank you it's wonderful to meet you too. Here is your schedule for the week and Tony Stark is making you a smart phone so we can text or call you're schedules and assignments for the day." She said as we shook hands, "Now this week will be easy because you're still recovering from yesterday since the Gang rescued you from Hydra hiding in your home town. Now don't do any physical training for a few days, Director Fury's and Doctor's orders."

"Sure thing, and Thanks for the morning briefing Ms Potts."

"Have a good day Melanie. And don't worry you're among friends here."

"You too Ms Potts. And thanks for the advice too." I said as I went back to my room.

"What a super nice girl." She said as I overheard her. I smiled, maybe today will be a good day after all.

I arrived in the cafeteria as the gang saw me as I got in line to get breakfast then joined them at their table.

"Any leads on Bucky?"

"Not yet Melly." said Steve, "How are you feeling today?"

"Sore." I said, as I sipped my decaf tea, "Pepper dropped by with my schedule for the day and the Fury said no physical stuff for two days."

"So you don't remember the life the Time Fog gave you?" Asked Natasha.

"Not sure actually. Give me a minute me to test that," I spoke. I thought for a second, as I closed my eyes as I saw Steve, my brothers and I playing together in New York...

Back then I had my long hair in two braids, Anne of Green Gables style with bangs over my forehead... Which I didn't quite care for the bangs but I wasn't going to pick a fight with my mom about my hair back then. I did remember I grew them out once in High school, as I liked the longer bangs. How I first met them well I was looking for a distant cousin of mine as I saw him picking on Steve as Bucky and my cousin were fighting, near by where we were staying.

"Cuz! Stop!" I said, angrily.

"Melly you're nothing but a tattle tail!" said my Cousin Arin.

"Oh yeah well you can't catch me!" I said as I started to run back to his place.

"Cousin Melly get back here!"

"Yeah well you can't catch me," I said.

"I am not going lose to a girl!"

"Well go ahead and try!" I said as I made a dash for it.

"Come Back here Melly."

"Not planning on it!"

"She's fast." said Steve.

"She's cute." said Bucky.

It was a hour later when Steve with his Mom and Bucky arrived at the place my family and I were staying at as they clearly saw my cousin was grounded.

"Hello, Rita is Melly and her family here?" asked Sara.

"I'm over here." I called.

"My aren't you a brave little girl."

"I am?"

"Yes you are, you saved my boy Steve and his best friend Bucky."

"Awe it was nothing, Mrs?"

"Rogers, Sarah Rogers."

"Nice to meet you Mrs Rogers," I said shaking her hand as I then looked to the boys "Are you guys ok?"

"We'll be fine." Said Steve, "can I hug you?"

"Sure." I said doing just that.

"I like you," said Bucky, "can I be your boyfriend?"

I giggled, "I'm not from here Bucky."

"Where you from, doll?"

"Prince Edward Island."

"As in Anne of Green gables?"

I looked surprised, "Yeah."

"You almost look like her."

"I do not!"

"True but you look more like a doll."

"I do?"

"Yeah you're my kind of Doll."

I opened my eyes, "I remember how I met Steve and Bucky the first time."

Steve smiled, "She saved Buck and I from her older cousin's wrath."

"Yeah he asked me plenty of times to be his girlfriend." I said with a chuckle, "every time I came to New York that was the first thing he ask me."

"Awe that's so adorable Mel." said Jann.

"We were just kids Jann." I said, "Besides, since we know Hydra has him I don't think he'll remember me."

"Oh you may never know Mel."

"Well looks like someone's optimistic." I chuckled.

A thought came to my head, as I looked at my purple magic star pendant. Steve caught on "See Dr. Hank Pym maybe you're pendant is the key to restoring the world to its natural state."

"Steve I'll see him when I can I got classes to go for first."

"Oh right," he said, "Um Melly what should I tell Bucky when we find him?"

"The truth and that it might take me a second to remember certain memories."

"Seems fair."

"Look I'm just going along with everything like a good sport."

"So Fury doesn't know that we started remembering a alternate lifetime?" Asked Bruce, "Tony would want to see you about that theory."

"That's actually my first stop to pick up a smartphone."

"I hope his charm doesn't get you into trouble Melly." Said Bruce.

"Me too." I agreed, "Speaking of Tony why isn't he here?"

"He lives a few blocks from here."

"Oh okay." I said, "He's not a spoiled rich kid is he?"

"Ehnn that's not all the words I'd use to describe him." said Sam.
