Steve POV
I ran into the room, only to see that there were children crying and facing the wall. "what have you done with them?" I asked the person in my
peripheral vision. I turned to see a man with a cruel smile. I noticed that he had only one eye. "look for , turn around."
"oh fudge no."(I avoided cussing in front of children) a mini Tony started talking. "whoa, your captain America! My dad will freak out, I found
you before he did!" I saw Natasha staring at me, her gaze cold and calculating. then something hit me from the side that the man was on, and I
passed out.
Jenessa POV
I saw a man leaning over a dead or unconscious Steve, and a couple of familiar looking kids watching in horror.
exept one, who looked like this was a normal occurrence. I looked at them closer. My eyes widened in realization.
I looked back at steve. He was shrinking. I jumped on the guy who had been leaning over Steve, and as I was doing so,
twisted the weapon out of his hand. we fought for a while before I realized, DUH! the avengers are sitting in the
corner. I remembered that her name used to be Natalia. "Natalia! begin." was what I said, hoping she would understand and listen.
She did. That is just beyond scary. I thought as Natasha and I fought the guy. He was down pretty fast. I guess the reason they
needed backup was the gun. I realized she was about to kill him. "no." I told her. she nodded stiffly and walked back to the corner with everyone
else. I cuffed him to the table and moved the gun to the other side of the room. I crouched down to the kids' level. "okay guys, I need your
help. I need you to be understanding, okay?" I waited for some nods. everyone except tony nodded."My name is Jenessa, Its the year 2015." I waited
for a reaction. Steve was waking up, he looked about six. I winced when I thought about how he would take it. "fury, we have a situation." I said into
my earpiece. "and?" I heard. "the avengers are children." there was silence. "but we got the guy." I said the last part almost like a question.
"I DONT CARE IF YOU GOT HALF THE BAD GUYS IN NEW YORK THIS IS A DISASTER!" he responded. Well this is gonna be fun.(cough sarcasm cough cough)
eventually fury came in. And started yelling at the children. "Nicholas fury!" I interrupted. he stopped and turned to glare at me. "don't ever cuss out
a child!" I scolded. "I am not a child, stop treating me like one or so help me," he left the threat in the air. "really? were right here you know."
said who I assumed to be tony. "if your going to kidnap us, at least do it right." "we are not kidnapping!" I said. "what about kidnapping? asked mini
Steve worriedly. "you know what? how about we talk about this over lunch. I'm hungry and I made cheesecake earlier. What so you say,kids?" silence.
"yes? no? maybe so? are you guys hungry?" There was a subtle nod from Steve. "okay then, do you guys want to eat at the tower or out?" then I realized my mistake.
"what tower?" "a great big one full of people that work for Mr. stark." I said sort of evasively. they would probably assume I meant Howard stark. I glanced at Steve,
wait a minute, didn't he say he got the serum when he was an adult? the kid was not scrawny like steve used to be. I pulled him aside. "hi Steve, my name is Jenessa. Today is going to
be a long day, and it won't be easy to understand, But you can trust these people, if you like, you can pretend like your a soldier and these people are part of your team." he looked
confused. I dont blame him. "okay." he said quietly. we gathered everyone's stuff(suit,shield,guns, bow,hammer.) thor had to carry his hammer for obvious reasons. When we got to the schwarma
joint(I had to) I began explaining to the best of my ability. Steve didn't take it the way I thought he would. "Does this mean there are flying cars?" I laughed. "sadly, no. We still haven't
figured that one out yet." "oh." he sounded disappointed. "but you know what?" "what?" "we have really yummy food, you wanna try some?" he nodded his head yes with so much enthusiasm i thought it
would knock him over. I chuckled. "okay, lets go." he grabbed my hand and started tugging me in the wrong direction. I laughed. "this way, Steve." I said, trying to fully stop laughing. Kids are so cute!
we caught up with everyone else. "y'all are gonna love schwarma." I told them as we walked in the door. For some reason I had a bad feeling, probably just paranoia. then I saw my parents.
