"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."

Avengers Tower

"Holmes, come on you've been at this for hours. Take a God damn break! Lestrade tell her to take a break, she'll work herself to death one day."

"I hate to say it but, Watson is right Holmes. You need to take a break."

"We will grab your new friends and force you out of here."

"Besides, you said you would show us around. You always keep your word Holmes, or has that changed?"

"Will the both of you shut up! I'm close, I can feel it!"

Deep down I know the guys are right but there's something here! I can feel it! Ugh, sure I wouldn't mind staying here but I do want to go home, I do have a father, and I do miss him. I tune the guys out and continue to work but my mind wanders. After Clint and Natasha brought Lestrade and Watson here we stopped our dance practice. Not long after the rest of the Avengers showed up and I had to explain everything. Steve then turned on Tony and I stepped in claiming that I didn't think it was a good idea to tell everyone I was from the past. I then dragged Watson and Lestrade up to the floor I was staying on and to the closet in my room, to the back and started working on the case. I've been trying to find where Lord Ikrum would be. I feel two sets of arms start to pull me back from the holo screens.

"The both of you let me go! I will hit you so hard your grandchildren will feel it!"

"Seriously, not the best idea to anger a Brit."

"Just don't let go."

"Wait a minute. What the hell?!"

"We did warn you Holmes." Lestrade says near my left.

"Damion, Cam, let go of me!" I yell struggling.

"Stop struggling Brit! God, you're hurting my arms." Damion complains.

"Good."

"Holmes, please stop. We don't want to hurt you." Cam said.

"Then let go!" I end up shaking off Damion but Cam's hold tightens.

"That's it!" Cam says as he readjusts his hold so he is carrying me.

"What the-? Cam, put me down!" I say as he runs down the hall.

"Lock the door!" He calls over his shoulder.

"As you wish." He directs at me.

He lets go and I land on the couch. I start to get back up but then Jamie comes and holds me down.

"Would you guys stop? By God! I'll take a break!"

"No lies Amber?"

"No lies James."

She lets go and we sit on the couch. For a few quiet moments everyone just stands around.

"Lestrade, were you implying that I no longer keep my word?" I ask raising an eyebrow.

"I was trying to get you to stop working."

"Well I guess I can show you two around now." I say getting up.

"Oh, and I hate you all right now." I say with a smile.

"Lord help us now." Watson mutters.

"Why? She was smiling when she said it." Damion asks confused.

"That means she's planning something. You, Cam Watson, and I are all her main targets." Lestrade answers.

"As long as it does not involve an injury that could stop us from dancing, I'm fine with it." Cam says.

"Good. Because it will not be easy." I say to the group behind me.

We all walk around and I show the guys the various floors. I explain some of the things that the guys had not seen while they were on the Helicarrier while they tell me about the Helicarrier. Finally I lead them to the arcade floor, a whole floor devoted to video games. We show Watson and Lestrade how to operate these video games then Lestrade picks Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Watson goes over to a racing game and before you know it were all playing various video games all spread throughout the floor. Jamie had managed to drag Jenifer, Ethan, and I over to just dance. We end up passing Cam, Luca, Lestrade and Sàràh playing COD. I look and farther down the floor, in a corner, I see Tànne and Damion playing poker, I think. The screen starts up and I turn my attention to winning the game. Jenifer and, surprisingly, Jamie had both already been eliminated so it was down to Ethan and I. We finished our dance but according to the game we were tied.

"That sucks." Jamie says.

"Why?" I ask.

"We went through all the songs, and you two are still tied!" Jenifer cries.

"What about a dance battle?" Ethan suggests.

"Sure." I agree. I quickly think back to what I was told about dance battles, store what information I need and wait for Jamie to pick a song.

"What about Shell Shocked?" Jenifer suggests over Jamie's shoulder.

"Good call Jen." Jamie's says with a smile I'm not sure I like.

"Remember guys just go with the flow." Jenifer says as Jamie starts the song.

I give a gesture for Ethan to start. He does. He listens to the beat and he uses moves I remember from Cam showing me hip hop. He dances for half the song then I take over. I start by combining hip hop with break dancing. Right as the song is ending I run up to Ethan, jump, and do a flip over him. I land in perfect time with the last beat of the song.

"So, I say group judgment is necessary." Jamie calls out.

"I think we'll leave it to you guys." Watson says.

"Yeah, we haven't exactly done any dancing. Except for the formal dances our parents force us to go to." Lestrade mutters the last part.

"I thought you guys were playing video games." I say.

"We finished."

"So you stopped and watched?"

"Yes."

"That's stupid, so are you."

"You're a dick." Lestrade says.

"No, I'm a girl." I counter.

"You're a jackass."

"No that's Watson."

"You're an idiot."

"Nope. I'm a Holmes."

"You're a bitch."

"I'm not a dog."

"Wait so Lestrade and I can't fight but you can fight with him?"

"Shut up Watson!" We both yell.

"Honestly, I don't want to sound bias, but, I think Ethan won. Holmes was a close second but Ethan's had years of training. It's all we've done, train and compete."

"I don't know Cam, for someone who hasn't had years of training, she's pretty good. She beet Jame and Jen."

"Despite the flattery Damion, I'll say Ethan won. He does have more experience." I say.

"Are you giving in Holmes?" Lestrade teases.

"No. It just happens to be the logical answer."

"You and your logic."

"Oh shut it Lestrade."

We decided, against my insistence, that Ethan and I tied. After, we headed back to the kitchen to have dinner. We grab our dinner then get pulled to the movie room to watch a movie with dinner. We end up watching Lord of the Rings, all three of them. By the time that was done, it was a little after midnight. We were all heading up to bed when Lestrade, Watson, and I identified a problem, they don't have rooms.

"Where are Watson and Lestrade going to sleep?"

"Yeah, we're not sleeping in the same room as Holmes. Last time we had to stay in a room together the whole night we almost killed each other." Lestrade says.

"Yeah but this time we won't be with a maniac trying to get us to turn on each other or talk about our case." Watson says.

"What are you talking about?" Jamie asks.

"Long story. Where will they sleep?"

"We have two more spare rooms on our floor before its full." Jenifer replies.

"Good. Watson, Lestrade, tomorrow I'm going to need the both of you to describe the device so I can continue to attempt my search to find it."

"What makes you think there's one here?"

"How else would Ikrum get back?" I say as I walk backwards into my room.

"Does she always get this creepy this late at night?" Damion asks in a hushed voice.

"Most of the time, but not always." Lestrade says as they all walk further down the hall to get to their rooms.

I, however, am not all that tired. Not really. I head back to my closet to work on the actual case. Just five minutes then I'll go to sleep.

"Holmes, might I suggest you get changed? You are due in the lab in ten minutes." JARVIS says

"What do you mean? It's only-shit! Why didn't you tell me it was almost six?!"

I hurry to get into new clothes and down to the lab. I rush down to meet Tony and continue the bike. Don't get me wrong, I want to go home, but I also want to finish the bike I've been working on.

Lestrade's POV

I wake up and the first thing I do after getting changed is head down to the kitchen that Holmes showed me yesterday. Once I get there I find Cam, Luca, Jamie, Jenifer, and Sàràh sitting around and talking. I walk past them to stand by the fridge.

"No good morning? Looks like someone needs coffee." Jenifer jokes.

I simply look in their direction.

"Ah! Shit!" Jamie yells.

"What?" Luca asks.

"My dads coffee machine broke in the lab and I forgot to give him his coffee yet!"

"So? Worst that happens is he falls asleep." Cam says.

"Don't mess with coffee."

"So coffee keeps people awake?" I ask.

"It can, it gives you energy and helps wake you up and keep you awake. Plus it tastes awesome, once you've added sugar and milk." Jamie says with a smile.

"Would I be able to get some for Holmes? She could probably use some by now."

"Sure. Did you guys have coffee back then?"

"Yeah we did, but it happened to be expensive. Of corse cheaper then now but money was also different back then."

"Well does she have a favourite then?"

"Not really, at least I don't think. She never really drank coffee around us, Watson and I that is."

Jamie makes two cups of coffee and gestures for me to take one and walks to the elevator.

"So, why do you call each other by your last names? Why not your first names and did you ever call each other by your first names?"

"Do you always ask questions?"

"Call me curious. Now, answer."

"It's more professional or something like that."

"Dude, you're like, what 14? 15?"

"Fourteen, yes. But we also happen to be detectives, trained, professional detectives."

"Alright continue."

"What?"

"My other questions."

"Right. Yeah, we last called each other by our first names at the age of 4."

"Really?"

"Yes. Holmes was always into becoming a detective and was determined to make us all call each other by our last names. She dragged Watson in when we were six and myself when we were seven." I say as we exit the elevator.

"How long have you known each other?"

I give her an exasperated look. "Since we were babies."

We stop our conversation as we approach the lab. Jamie opens the door and we bring in coffee, only we don't see anyone.

"Dad?" Jamie calls out.

"Hey! Watch where your pointing that thing Tony!"

"Well you got in the way!"

"Wow, you're so mature."

"Says the kid!"

"I happen to be a detective."

We slowly approach the garage at the other end of the lab.

"Well you and Tony are both arguing like children."

"Holy shit! What the hell are you doing jumping out of the vents when I'm holding a blow torch!"

"Yeah! Thanks to you, I just got burnt. Put the God damn torch down before I take it from you and give you a burn!"

"Okay this seems like a tense situation that can be solved by coffee." Jamie calls from beside me.

"What were you saying about being burned?" I ask Holmes as I pass her the coffee.

"It's nothing."

I remember Jamie talking about JARVIS, this AI that runs this entire building.

"Would it be possible to use JARVIS to contact Watson?" I whisper to Jamie.

"Yeah." She whispers back then says slightly louder, "JARVIS?"

Already been done.

"Thanks."

Watson's POV

After I woke up and had my breakfast, later then usual, I was sitting with Damion, Ethan, and Tànne watching tv when Jenifer, Sàràh, Cam, and Luca came in and asked if we wanted to head down to the paint ball floor. Honestly I'd rather prefer to stay on the couch with the tablet I was given but I know that will not pass as an excuse. As I am trying desperately to think of a reason JARVIS interrupts.

Mr Watson, you're presents is requested in the garage in the lab.

"Alright. Looks like I can't play paint ball, such a shame really." I say as I dash over to the elevator.

The others file in after me. Of corse. We reach the lab and find the garage.

"Good, you're here. We have a little problem, and by we I mean Holmes, and by problem I mean she was burnt with a blow torch." Lestrade says as he passes me a Med Kit.

"I told you it's nothing!"

"Be careful, I think she's mad." Lestrade says with a laugh.

"Holmes just let me see your arm. Then we can be done with this."

"I'm. Fine. Go. Away."

"I hold you treat?" Lestrade asks.

"No. You will do no such thing."

"Too late."

Lestrade holds Holmes down as I attempt to treat her burn.

"I hate the both of you."

"You'll thank us later when your father does not see the noticeable scar."

Holmes pauses.

"I still hate the both of you." She says as she gives me her arm.

"We know. Now shut up and be a Holmes." Lestrade says.

"The second you let me go, I'm going to punch you."

"I'm fine with that." I say.

"You guys fight a lot, don't you?" Jenifer says interrupting our argument.

"Are we done here? We need to figure out the description of the device." Holmes says.

"Are you uncomfortable?" I hear Lestrade tease.

"Immensely." Holmes says with an angry yet bored voice.

"Well, it's done now. If you don't aggravate it, you should be fine, it wasn't anything major." I say.

"I told you I was fine." Holmes says as she gives Lestrade a Charlie horse.

"That, was uncalled for!"

"I said I would punch you, I just didn't say where." Holmes says with a smirk.

Holmes POV

"Well, we should get to work boys. We don't need to be slacking now, do we?"

"Alright." Watson agrees.

"What're our jobs?" Lestrade inquires.

"Watson will work on where Ikrum could possibly be. What he's doing. Where he comes and goes. Why he chose America 2026. All based on my research of where we all appeared, well you'd have to input where you and Lestrade appeared. Mean while Lestrade will describe the device and I will attempt to get schematics planed to build another one to get home. Then we can determine how much longer we will be here for."

"Hey, so do you want help to sketch out any schematics?" Cam asks.

I had completely forgot everyone else was here.

"You could finalize what it should look like, if you want."

"Sure."

The four of us head up to my room and instead of going to my closet I have JARVIS transfer everything over to my desk.

"JARVIS, pull up file Alpha, sub file Foxtrot."

Anything else you require?

"No, that will be fine. Thank you JARVIS. Watson, that holo screen, far right, use it. It has all I know. Put the information of everything you remember when you woke the have Lestrade do the same. While we wait, could you describe the device Lestrade?"

"On it." I hear Watson reply.

"Yeah, sure. It was flat, round like a dish, but maybe a foot in diameter. There was nothing noticeable at first, then my hand brushed against the top when I tried to move it. Then it lit up blue, orange, green, then I couldn't move. I heard Watson come. He tried to move me only to be paralyzed as well. I heard you call out, then, nothing."

"Before you touched it, what colour was it?"

"Black, with some white. Almost like an ordinary dish."

"Something like this?" I show him my rough sketch.

"Almost. It looked a little different but similar."

"How 'bout this?" Cam holds out his sketch book.

"Yes."

"Lestrade, you need to write down everything you remember from when you woke up so I can continue." Watson calls from the other end of the information I had gathered.

"Fine."

"What's with the maps? Cam asks me.

"To try and triangulate where Ikrum could be. I never could get far because I didn't have my team or their locations. I figure that Ikrum is, or was, somewhere in the middle of where we ended up. The map of London to try and pinpoint why we ended up where we did when we came here. Overlaying the maps did nothing."

"I see. It must suck though."

"What? Being away from your families, trying to get home. It has to at least be stressful."

"I don't know. Some days I feel like I should just stay here. I'd only be missed for maybe a year, I'm 14 and a detective but they would have declared the lot of us dead by now. Some days I just want to go home. I don't know what I really feel now. You know what I'm trying to say?"

"Honestly, no. I have no idea what three of you are going through and I couldn't begin to imagine what it's like."

"Well, it sucks. But some days are better than others."

"Well I would say sorry, but that won't exactly fix anything."

"You're right. It won't fix anything."

"Okay, so we just have to figure out where the Helicarrier was when you woke up then we will have the places. And why exactly do we need them?"

"To think things through Watson."

"Yo, you guys gonna have lunch or not?" Jamie asks as she pokes her head in my room.

"We did not work all morning!"

"We do have a tendency of doing that."

"Okay, fine. What's lunch?"

"Food." She says with a smirk.

"Smart ass." I say with a matching smirk.

We follow Jamie out and to the communal kitchen.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, we're going out for lunch. Chinese, Mexican, or shawarma?" Tony asks.

"What's shawarma?" Watson asks.

"Shawarma it is!"

"What did you just do Watson?" Lestrade mutters.

"It's not too bad." I whisper to him.

We all head down to the shawarma place and connect a few tables to a double booth so we can all fit in one place, after all there are 17 people going to eat. We all order something. I order something small because of not only my appetite but because if we do practice the dance later I don't want to be sick. The adults all start talking and we ignore them in favour of our own conversation. We were talking about ice cream flavours when Jamie looks directly at me.

"What?"

"I have a challenge."

"For?"

"You and the guys."

"Sure."

"Whatever, I really don't care." Lestrade says acting bored.

"I don't know, I mean, we don't even know what the challenge is."

"You're not scared are you Watson?"

"Why would I be scared?"

"We never back down from a challenge, Lestrade and I, yet you shy away. Most of the time."

"I'm not scared!"

"Prove it."

"You know what? Fine!"

"Your "challenge"is…?"

"Call each other by your first names for two days."

"That is hardly a challenge." I state.

"I would have to agree with Holmes." Lestrade says.

"Starting now." Jamie clarified.

"Alright. Well, I was wondering, Dante, do you feel like making lunch tomorrow?"

No response. Watson elbow him in the side.

"What?"

"Lunch tomorrow?"

"Uh yeah, sure."

"So Jack, Dante, how do you guys like your shawarma?" Jamie asks.

"Not bad." Watson says.

"Not the best but not horrible either." Lestrade replies.

"So what do we address you as?" Lestrade asks me.

"What?"

"Amber or Amberlynne?"

"Latter."

Lestrade smirks and is about to talk but I cut him off. "Don't be a smart ass, you know what I mean."

"Fine."

We finish lunch and leave the diner about ten minutes later. Once we are all back at the tower Cam says we are doing a dance practice. Damion, Sàràh, and Tànne all groan at the thought of dance practice after their big meal. We do our dance practice with Lestrade and Watson watching the routine. Once we finish we're exhausted. We head back up for dinner and devour our food. Once done we watch a movie. I don't know what the movie was, I was too busy thinking about everything. The movie finished and I dragged the guys back to my room to work more. After about an hour we hit a stalemate, there was nothing left to do except wait. The three boys left my room and I got ready to go to bed. I planed on sleeping tonight.
