"Solar power cells recharged." Vision announced. "As I was saying, the Savage Land is quite lovely. I...Oh my. Have I missed something?"
"Man, it's been a long day." Pym declared as he flopped onto the ground.
Francis reached down and easily picked up the smaller boy by the collar of his costume.
"It's not over, short stuff." he said. "In case you forgot, there's a little important matter to take care of back in the city."
The teens all looked at Tony who smiled at them.
"Ready for a little family reunion?" he asked.

James kept his eyes locked onto his father's shield.
They were flying back to Ultra City and his mind was wondering about his parents. A million thoughts and questions racing through his mind.
Would they believe that he was that little boy they were forced to send away to safety while they tried to defeat Ultron?
What would they think of him? Would they believe he was their son after realizing how many years had passed? What would they be like? Would they be everything like Tony's stories and more?
James was sure that his father would be the shinning example of perfection like Tony always said.
"Excited?" Tony asked as he sat down next to the teen.
"Actually, I'm more nervous than anything." James answered. "I'm excited but I also really nervous."
"I don't blame you." Tony said. "To be honest, I'm nervous too."
"Why are you nervous?" James asked. "You've known our parent's for a long time."
"Well, think about it. Despite the fact that I've known them long before any of you were born, twelve years have gone by. I've grown older while they've remained the same. Still young and I am a little envious of that. This is the second time it's happened to your father. But what they're going to notice about me is that they'll notice I'm a completely different person from the man they once knew."
"What were you like before?"
"I was a bachelor enjoying being single." Tony answered. "I went to all of the best parties and knew all of the best people. I was really known for being an inventor and an Avenger. I didn't really listen to your father at first when the team first formed but I learned very quickly to believe in Captain America. He and I became good friends. Good enough for him to trust me with his only son."
James lightly smiled and looked back down at the star shield he held.
"Cap gave the order to get all of you to safety but he and your mother were the last to let you go." Tony said.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Cap made the others understand that we needed to get all of you to a safe location but he was the last to let you go. He wanted as much time with you as he could get. He hated the thought of possibly never seeing you again. I knew it tore him up to make that choice to give the order. But I know that he's going to be very happy to see you again, James."
James lightly smiled and now felt more confident about being reunited with his parent's. It was what he wished for for so long. Since he was young but old enough to understand what was going on.
Hearing the stories of his parent's made him miss them more than he thought possible. He'd only had a short time with them and now he was going to get them back.

Pym flew up to the case holding his mother and lightly smiled. Soon, he would be hugged by her. The first time since he was a baby.
He was excited beyond all belief. The chance to be with his mother and father again. He'd been too little to be able to remember anything about them but now he felt that he was getting the chance of a life time.
"They won't be in any kind of pain or anything when they wake up, will they?" Azari asked standing in front of his father's case.
"No." Tony answered as he typed at a control panel to the side. "They should wake up as if they were waking up from the best sleep of their lives."
"Will they realize how much time has passed?" James asked.
"I highly doubt it." Tony answered as he brought up the body readings of his friends. "But there is a possibility that Ultron kept them up to date on things through brainwave process. I'm sure he'd want them to know how close he was to closing in on their children."
The teens looked to the sleeping Avengers. All of them seemed to be doing just that.
Sleeping.
Were they dreaming? If they were dreaming, were they dreaming about their children they had to send to safety? Were they dreaming of the moment when they would be reunited and be families again?
