EDIT: March 31st, 2020

Alright. So it was mentioned in a review on the previous chapter (I'm sorry that I was only able to see it now) that I needed to introduce the children for those of you who have not read Avengers 2nd Gen. Now keep in mind, this story and the story mentioned previous are not related. It was simply me exploring a different route/universe for my characters from that story.

Introductions are:

Jamie Stark

Damion Stark

Sarah Thorson

Tanne Thorson

Cam Rogers

Luca Barton-Romanoff *

Ethan Banner

Jenifer Banner *

* These characters did not exist in the previous story what-so-ever. In this one I wanted Ethan to have a twin sister and I also wanted to put in a character for the child of Nat and Clint AKA Luca.

I hope this can clear up some things for you lovely people! Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review this story. :)

Previously:

I've crushed her. I have actually brought the strongest girl I know to tears. God! I'm stupid! Why wold I do that! I look up and see Jenifer and her friend move away mouthing something about giving us space, they haven't noticed her tears, that's good. She doesn't like crying, and I did this to her. I was with a boy she considers her second brother, and I left him with someone who is a complete stranger to her. I just hug her back tightly.

"I'm sorry Holmes." I whisper into her hair.

Central Park, New York

"And that's how this fountain works?" I inquire.

"Yes." Hill replies.

"What do you think Watson?" I turn around.

"Watson?" This time Hill asks.

"Where is he? Watson?" I call out.

"We'll find him." Hill assures, wether for her or I, I don't know.

"I trust you. I believe you Hill."

We spend the rest of the day wandering around looking for Watson. It was well after dark when we found him.

"Watson!" I rush over to him. After a quick look and embrace I hit him in the head.

"Don't you ever do that again! You had Hill and I worried senseless!" I all but yell.

"I was not worried." Hill protests.

"You know you'd miss us if we were gone." I taunt.

"Where were you?" Hill changes the topic.

"I found her!" Watson exclaims.

"Holmes?"

"Yes!"

"Where?"

"I can't remember the building! The city is too big and we've barley looked at it. She was upset I'd left you, I had to find you again."

"I understand. I don't like it, but I understand."

"That's enough action for one day."

"Let's head back, shall we?"

"Yes."

We head back to the car and drive back to the Helicarrier. Hill drops us off at the hall to our rooms.

"I swear, if you pull a stunt like that again, I will kick your ass back to 1914."

"I won't Lestrade. I was bored and you were talking with Hill. My mind wandered and I ended up finding Holmes. I am truly sorry."

"How was she?" My voice considerably softer.

"She was fine, strong even. She hasn't stopped looking for us since she woke up, and I highly doubt she'll stop now. She lost a few tears but she stayed strong. I wish to sleep now. I'll see you in the morning Lestrade."

"Right, good night Watson."

Avengers Tower

"Hey, where's Watson?" Jenifer asks me.

"He's gone?" I ask.

"You didn't know?"

"No but if he's gone, he probably went to look after Lestrade."

"How do you know?"

"It's what I'd want him to do."

"Oh, okay. Hey, Jamie wants to know if you'll join our dance practice tonight. It just got dark out and you could use a break."

"You guys want me to practice with you?"

"Yeah, I mean if you want to. After you showed us up then, tackled Cam, we've been thinking you could join us for fun while your stuck here. So, what do you say? Gonna join us tonight?"

"Sure. Your right, I could use a break. By now Watson and Lestrade would be telling me to take a break."

I walk with Jenifer to the elevator, then we head down to the dance studio. Jenifer walks over to the others and they start to run through a new routine. After they've done their run through Jamie brings me over to start a run through. We slowly go through the first few steps of the dance. This was slightly more difficult with what I imitated earlier, I probably would not be able to replicate the other dance gain because I don't feel motivated to actually do so. I learn these steps the hard way, by trying them. The beat picks up as we move on to another set of steps and we pick up the pace. I stumble a few times from lack of sleep, I usually go days at a time because I'm working on a case or a motorcycle I want to get done.

"Maybe you should get some sleep." Luca suggests.

I'm about to respond sarcastically when I stumble and trip again. Luca catches me and helps me stand.

"You do look tired Holmes, have you even slept?"

"Barley. Maybe your right. Could I at least stay and watch the practice then?"

"I don't see why not." Cam says.

"Thanks."

I walk over to the bench and slowly sit down. I watch a few more minutes before I feel my eyes droop and close. Not long after I feel someone arms around me lifting me up, defiantly one of the guys. All I do is groan, my eyes feel too heavy to open.

"Shh, it's alright. Go back to sleep."

I find myself drifting farther into sleep and enveloped by blackness.

I wake up in my bed. My real bed. Back home. I get up and head to my kitchen, I'm still in my clothes from the day previous. Father's left a note, he's going to be with Dr. Watson for the most part. I'm about to make something when an urgent knocking starts on my door. It does not stop until I open the door.

"Bloody hell Holmes, what took you so long? We have to get going!" Lestrade all but yells in my face.

"Pardon?"

"The case! We have to find Lord Ikrum!"

"How'd we get back?"

"Back? What the bloody hell are you talking about?!"

"We were stuck in the year 2026, I was with Jamie and Jenifer and everyone else. How did we get home?"

"Holmes, listen to yourself. What are you talking about?" Watson asks quietly.

"But-it didn't happen?"

"Is the great Amberlynne Holmes dumbfounded?" Lestrade teases.

"Oh shut it you idiot." I say throwing a cup at Lestrade.

"See? It was most likely a dream. With your mind, I would not doubt a dream like that happening with a case this long."

"Right a dream. I'm sorry, where were we in the case?"

"We were going to investigate Ikrum's loft today. That is, if your feeling okay."

"I'm fine. Let's get going, shall we?"

I grab some cash on our way out. On the way to the loft I stop in a café to grab a muffin quickly so can at least stomach something. I finish my muffin before we get there. We enter the loft and I know immediately that we will have to split up to do this quickly.

"Look for anything suspicious, but also try not to touch anything you may not be able to explain. We don't need any injuries." I say then walk off.

I get this strange sense of Déjà vu. I go the way I did in my strange dream. I find the papers easily. I go to find the boys but when I do find them I just see a light, then they're gone.

"Watson! Lestrade!" I run over to the place where they disappeared.

"Oh God no! This can't be happening!"

The day goes by in a flash. I grabbed the device and brought it to my room so I could try to bring my missing comrades home. The next day I'm in the other room when it looks as if my room has been lit on fire. Next thing I know, Lord Ikrum is walking out of my room. When he sees me he rushes me. He uses whatever he can find to hit me. Then, he has a knife. Right as it seems he's about to end my life, I blink and I'm not there anymore. I'm back at Avengers tower. In my borrowed bed. I blink.

"What the bloody hell just happened?" I ask the darkness.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier

It's morning now and I'm starting to wonder if I should have stayed with Holmes. Of corse not! I should have brought her with me! Of corse I would be so stupid. Now we have no idea where she is or how to find her again. I get dressed and leave to find Lestrade who, unsurprisingly, is in the caf.

"Where's Hill?"

"She said she had to go talk to Director Fury then pick something up."

"When will she be back, do you know?"

"Should be soon."

"Are you still mad at me?"

"Yes and no."

"Yes and no?"

"No because I understand that you were bored, and yes because you did wander off, then found Holmes, then left her."

"She would have wanted me to find you again."

"I know."

I want to continue the conversation, but Hill walks in.

"Follow me."

I grab my muffin and follow Hill and Lestrade. We head up to Hill's office. She has a bag on her desk and beckons us closer.

"What's in the bag?"

"I got a few things to keep the both of you occupied."

"Like what?" Lestrade asks.

"Cell phones, they're like small tablets but you can also call and text people. I'll show you how to do that after. I also got both of you wireless head phones."

"They look like ear muffs."

"They use Bluetooth to connect to your phones and tablets so you can listen to music and your games."

"Bluetooth?"

"It's like wifi Watson, keep up."

Hill hands me blue and white headphones and passes Lestrade a black pair, when they hit the right light they turn a deep blood red and has a red trim for the edges. She passes each of us a phone that say 'Stark' on the back.

"My number is in there if you need to talk. It's a touch screen like most these days and to call you go into this app and click my name. You click the small green phone to call and the little yellow envelope to text. Once you've started texting someone, to get back into the conversation, you click on this app here. I've also preprogrammed your numbers into each others phones. If you look under 'ME' you can see the information about your phone. To end a call click the small red phone. Now, Lestrade call Watson." Hill tells us.

We do the calls then we try texting. After we're used to it she shows us how to get music and how the headphones work. Lestrade thanks Hill then starts listening to his music on his new phone while playing a new racing game on his tablet.

"I hope you know we've now lost Lestrade to the world of technology." I comment to Hill.

"If that means he won't disappear on me then I'm glad."

"I'm sorry. I didn't want to interrupt both of you. I was bored and had decided to wander. I am sorry Hill."

"Just don't do it again. I'm responsible for both of you."

"I won't."

A few minutes of silence later and Hill starts to have a small smile cross her face. To be honest it kinda creeps me out. Hill rarely smiles. A few more minutes and I break the silence.

"What? Why are you smiling like that? It's starting to creep me out. Please stop."

"Your starting to sound more American. Starting to talk like you were born with the generation of your age in this time."

"Right. Sorry?"

"No. It helps you blend in. We don't know how long you will have to be here so whatever helps you blend in is better."

"Lestrade?" I ask.

No answer. I tap his shoulder.

"What do you want Watson?"

"Just checking to see if you still know reality."

"Shut up." He says and swings his arm back. It hits me in the stomach.

"Alright. No need to hit me." I mutter.

I turn and head to the seat I've claimed since I've been here. I sit down and examine my phone. I connect my headphones wirelessly to my phone and zone out.

Avengers Tower

"Hey, you guys gonna have lunch, or do none of us exist anymore?" I hear Damion call.

"Be there in a minute." I call back.

I've been working on an older motorcycle, closer to my time but a few years ahead. I really want to finish it.

"You should take the afternoon off. I overheard Jamie tell Jenifer that she plans to get you to join the dance practice again." Tony starts.

"Really?" I ask.

"Apparently she likes your style." He looks over at me and smiles.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask with a chuckle.

"Cam does too." He says with, now, an ear splitting grin.

"Alright? Just stop acting like a school girl on her birthday."

"Come on, you can work on the bike tomorrow."

"Well, if I have to stop working so do you. You need food as well Tony. Let's go."

I drag Tony to the elevator and we head up for lunch. The elevator doors aren't even open all the way when I see Jamie's face.

"So, I was wondering." She says as I step out of the elevator, her father in tow.

"You tend to wonder a lot. What was it this time James?" I ask playing dumb.

"You want to practice the dance again?"

"I don't know, my schedule seems to be pretty busy." I say while sounding serious.

"Oh, well alright." She say dejectedly.

"I suppose I could make some time." I say starting to smile.

"You were joking around!"

"Yes I am capable of doing that." I say as I sit down to eat.

It's in that moment that I realize, I've gotten a new life. New friends and I'm joking around. I've even given Jamie a nick name. I would be happy to stay in the future as long as I can at least find Watson and Lestrade. I wonder how they are. I'll need to work harder to find them.

"Yo! Amber!"

"What?"

"Done daydreaming yet?" Jamie jokes.

"Yeah, sorry. I was just thinking."

"About?"

"My father." I lie easily.

"Right, well, long distance and all. You're bound to miss everyone while you're here and they're in England."

"Yes well I think I will be staying here for a while, with having to fix thing and all."

"In all seriousness though, are you gonna join our dance? I mean you'd have to work with Cam to get caught up, he is the choreographer of our dances, but hey! You gonna?"

"Yes James."

"James?" Damion asks.

"Yeah like how you call her Jame but I add an s. I'm not calling her a guy, it's just a nick name." I explain.

"Yes! She gave me a nick name! I think I'm rubbing off on her." Jamie says with a smug smile.

"Not sure that's the best idea in the world. Turning a nice Brit into a Stark?" Cam jokes.

"Oh, ha ha."

"I'm with Cam. Two Stark kids are enough." Luca says.

"Anyone else?" I ask the group of kids.

"Yeah. I agree." Jenifer jokes.

"Sàràh, Tànne, and I agree as well." Ethan says splitting from his conversation with the twins.

"Hey! What's wrong with being a Stark?" Damion asks.

"Arrogant, stubborn, in the spotlight. Ring any bells?" Luca says.

"She can be arrogant and stubborn!"

"And I am usually the most recognizable out of my comrades and I." I say.

"See! She's practically a Stark already." Jamie says.

"Except she is clam, quiet, and collected. You two jump out, have fun, and are loud while playing video games." Luca says.

"I can have fun." I protest. "I like to solve mysteries and fix motorcycles."

"Yeah, but I'm talking about video games, laser tag, dancing, all that Holmes." Luca replies.

"Well then, we'll just have to fix that between me working on cars and bikes and the dance routines." I say with a smirk.

The days go on with me learning dance moves, playing video games and laser tag, and fixing bikes. The days turn into weeks and slowly the weeks into months. The agents left to do an undercover mission about two moths ago, two weeks after I became stuck here. We have word that they will be returning soon. I've now slipped into an American accent and have gotten very well with the technology. I haven't cried even one tear since I've seen Watson, but I also haven't stopped searching for him or Lestrade. I may have slowed down but I will never stop looking for them. I've started to really like living here. When I find them I would not mind staying here, being stuck in the future. Currently I'm practicing with the other teens. I finished training with Cam not too long ago and everyone else joined. We've been practicing for about 45 minutes now and we're at one of the most complex parts of the dance where Jamie, Jenifer, Sàràh, and I are doing flips and cartwheels and jumping around and over the guys while they part for Cam to do a quick break dance number. The four of us are lifted above and held for a few seconds then set down and with a twirl we finish the dance number.

"Not bad work guys. We could defiantly use more work with the flips, and my solo is not the best, but with work this could be the best dance we've done." Cam says with a smile.

"Well it's defiantly nothing we've seen before."

"Yes. When did you learn to move like that Holmes?"

"Wait a minute. Who are you?" Cam asks.

I know these voices. I've work with them for seven years, known them for seven years previous. I turn around. I huge smile splits across my face.

"Watson! Lestrade! How on earth did you get here?!"

"We found them after our debriefing. They were talking about a 'Holmes' and we connected that to you. Add the fact that you have a 'secret' case going on in your closet with the names Watson and Lestrade reappear repeatedly on the holo screens, we were pretty sure they were the friends you were talking about at dinners." Clint says from the door.

"Wait. You're working on a case?" Jenifer asks me .

"Yeah."

"Let me get this straight. Your working on a case, a car, a motorcycle, and this dance routine? When the hell do you have time to work on the case? You work on the vehicles in the morning and practice the dance with us in the afternoon." Jamie rants.

"At night. I don't sleep that much so I worked on finding my comrades."

"So. Who are you, and why are you here?" Natasha asks from beside Clint.

"My name is Amberlynne Holmes. I come from 1914. I am a detective with two partners, Watson and Lestrade. My father prefers that I drop my feeble job and act like a proper young lady. I was working on a case when at least one of my fellow detectives activated a device, we were engulfed in a brilliant light then I was here. I'm not sure of much else. I was hoping Watson and Lestrade could fill me in on what I don't know." I explain looking towards my friends.

"Lestrade activated the device." Watson says quickly.

"What the hell man! Way to blame me!" Lestrade cries out.

"It's not blame if it's the truth."

Lestrade moves to hit Watson, but Watson moves to hide behind me. Not very effective considering his size. You see, Watson is 5'8". He's got some muscle but not very much. He can handle a gun but it's not as good as Lestrade's or my own handling. He has short brown hair with dirt brown eyes. He is wearing a grey sweater and black pants with black combat boots. Lestrade moves to go behind me but I stop him. Lestrade and I are about even in muscle. He has sandy brown hair and blue-grey eyes. He's good with any weapon, improvised or otherwise, but more so with a gun. Lestrade is 5'7" and wearing a red zip up hoodie with black pants and black combat boots. He is also wearing black and red headphones. I look behind me and see that Watson has headphones too, but they're blue and white

"Hey! I finally see the both of you again in months and the first thing you do is try to kill each other? Some things never change." I say breaking up their almost fight.

"Whatever. Hey, is your hair longer?" Watson asks trying to change the subject.

"No. When I live for a few months my hair stays the same length." I deadpan.

Lestrade snickers.

"Did your hair colour change?"

"Are you purposely asking stupid questions Watson? It's the lighting."

I have chestnut brown hair that looks golden brown in certain lighting. My eyes are a hazel-green, most of the time, they change colour. I'm 5'6", I grew a little in the past few months that we've been stuck in the future. When on a case I carry a gun and a few knives. I'm a good shot with a gun, great really, but better with the knives. Like Lestrade, I make good with improvised weapons as well.

"So, how did you two know I was working on a case in my closet?" I say remembering that there were more then Watson,Lestrade and I in the room.

"We're spies."

"Alright, no explanation necessary."

So, Watson, Lestrade and Holmes have reunited. Yay! Thanks for reading so far, I know it's not the best. Follow, favourite, review, PM ideas. Later peoples!
