MANHATTAN NEW YORK

1 WEEK AFTER AWOL

7:35 AM

While the city of Manhattan was quiet and asleep the sun barley coming up the light dusk blue sky was replaced with a dark red and light blue shatter

It seemed as if the Sky had imploded upon itself before soon enough above the city a girl had been dropped from the sky as if she was spawned from the clouds

Up within the sky the girl had hastily woken up when she felt a large rush of air push past her face and hair as she soon flipped over to find herself falling

With an extreme wide eyed expression the girl had immediately on instinct shot out a slew of webs from her wrist as quickly enough she had attached to a nearby building before yanking herself

Coming in with speed and ferocity the girl had slammed herself into nearby building as she gripped her the webs for dear life as she had just looked down from the giant skyscraper she landed upon

Blowing a heavy breath of air Anne-May just looked down at the height below her before growing a wide eyed expression when she saw the whole of New York in front of her and just questioned

"Where the absolute hell am I ?..."

AVENGERS ISLAND

12 LATER

"The clean up crew from your incident at the A.I.M. facility had reported your suspicious correct" Tony stated in the command room as him along with the Team and Steve stood around the holographic screen

"Multiple evil organizations have been shipping supplies to A.I.M. undercover. Flying under the radar for the past year"

With his hand on his chin Azari was in deep thought

"Why would other organizations help A.I.M. ? why not try to race and build it themselves ?"

With his hand on his hips Steve spoke

"That's what we hope you 5 can find out. With us being bigger targets it's almost impossible for us to even get close to A.I.M.'s list. But lucky for us you guys can"

Taking ahold of the Holographic screen Steve brought forth a display of Oscorp Tower

"I'm deploying you into an intel gathering mission. Drop in on Oscorp. Find out whatever you can, on what they have with their partnership with A.I.M. and report back to us about it"

"Oscorp's a big tower so you all are gonna have to split up from top to bottom" Tony suggested

"The lower levels are the easier ones to sneak around but the higher you get the more challenging the stealth will become. so my recommendation. Pym you might wanna take the top floor. Leaving James second to to last

The raven haired and redhead both nodded their heads showing their agreement

"Now Oscorp security is heavy. Even at night when the guards are futile. Luckily the genius I am always has a way to go to places. Even places I shouldn't be" he began before handing something towards Francis which made him raise an eyebrow

"It's a large scale EMP arrow. Stick this to Oscorp's main central fuze and the whole building will go dark for 90 minutes, should be enough time to go in and out. Security is gonna vary depending on the floor so again like I said choose your difficulty wisly"

With looks on their faces showing that that was manly all the information they were needed to be given for the mission Tony had closed the hologram display

"So break into a maximum security billion dollar company. Don't get caught. Find out what they have, and report back to you. Great. Are we superheroes or ninjas" Francis said

Truly after all the recon mission they've been on no one could really tell the difference

MANHATTAN

1 HOUR LATER

With the Jet in cloaked mode on autopilot the team Saw Oscorp within sight

Gearing up with their supplies of arrows and other gadgets something continued to gnaw on Pym as he had his finger rested on his chin in deep thought

Sneaking a glance towards his shrinking friend Francis smirked not once stopping himself from applying the different sorts of tools to his arrow

"Something on your mind there Pym" Francis asked

Clicking his tongue in a responsive manner Pym he began to speak

"It's just…..ok we were dropped back in time, specially a time where our parents are alive and Ultron's attack hasn't happened yet right ?"

"Yep, thanks for stating the obvious genius"

"Ok then why are we still alive ?"

The question Immediately made everyone pause

"What ?" James asked turning his head to face Pym

"...well….Obviously our Parents had us but in the past which is now our present we never were sent back in time so us being here causes an undefiable change in the timeline. Things like the fact we exist put thought in our Parents brain which could cause drastic changes in our birth. I mean hell most of our Parents aren't even together yet so-"

"By theory we should've disappeared the second we got here" James finished for Pym before trailing off in his own state of thought

With a raised eyebrow James began to bite his lip in new found theory's and thought of the sudden change. Sure the thought has crossed his mind once or twice since the mergance but he never gave much thought about it

Not until now

"So what ?" Azari began with his arms folded

"Now we're worried that we're gonna disappear out of nowhere suddenly-"

"No" Francis said in somewhat out a quiet roar

"If we would've been erased it would have happened already. Us being here. Being able to fuck with the timeline with our precense alone means we must have some kinda of protection or immunity to the time change"

The sound of the drop zone alarm blare had caught the 5's attention and they figured this would be done for a topic for another time since they have a mission at hand already

"Alright, Pym take top floor, James take 4th, I'll take 3rd Francis second and Torunn 1st"

The blonde female had just scoffed and groaned

"I still find it undeeming that you all think I can't be stealthy"

"Torunn you can't even keep your voice down when you sleep" Pym said immediately pausing her next tone of speech as she had just reverted to closing her mouth and crossing her arms

"I still find it hurtful" she mumbled as the back hatch of the ship had opened up landing them right above Oscorp Tower

And right there and then one by one the team had jumped from the jet all reporting to their individual spots and entrances to go to each floor

.

.

.

Getting into the Tower was the easy part. Breaking and entering and sneaking past the half sleep security guards and easily avoidable security system. Simple

No, the hard part about trying to find dirt on a multi million dollar company run by a psychological villain is FINDING THE DIRT

With a flashlight in his mouth James continued to search the endless files he was running through and rummaging only to find absolutely nothing on any Oscorp Shipments or trafficking or anything. Just publicity garbage that made them look better

Placing down the last file back in the cabinet before slamming it closed shut with a groan James just pressed into his comm link

"Guys I searched the 4th floor whole, I didn't find anything"

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"3rd floor clear" Azari announced sitting atop a beam in a dark hallway as guards passed by below him

"Same as James, nothing on Oscorp's partnership with A.I.M, no shipments or even any reports of missing tech or materials. I learned so through the mechanic system that's set up down here"

"Shit, well 2 floors down" James sighed

"Pym, Francis Torunn anything"

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Knocking over a pile of papers that were stacked on top of a desk Torunn had carelessly walked around the office station with her sword lazily in her hands

"Nothing. Nothing at all" Torunn said

But the tone of her voice only caused Azari to raise his eyebrows as he just let out a small sigh knocking his head back against the wall

"Torunn are you even looking ?"

Rummaging through the files of the small office the workplace looked like a tornado was ran through as Torunn was very clearly abusing the fact that there were no security guards on the bottom floor

The sound of trays and tables falling and being aggressively flipped over through the comms mentally reminded Pym, James and Azari why Torunn was given bottom floor

"Of course I'm looking Azari ! What do you think I'm doing ! just standing around twiddling my thumbs !"

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Hey Tor you mind keeping your voice down since what we are doing is technically illegal" Pym spoke through the shared com link

Continuing to surf through the secret files from within the building Pym seemed to run into the same problem everyone else was running into. He couldn't find anything related to the Oscorp shipments given to A.I.M

Letting out a sigh Pym shrunk himself before speaking into the comms right as a couple of guards came into the room with flashing lights

"I also found nothing" Pym sighed

"I think we need to call the mission and report to James's dad that-"

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Wait" Francis spoke as he continued to flood through the room he was in that being Norman Osborn's actual office

"Give me like 3 minutes" he said before he continued his search

.

.

.

.

.

.

Flying through the hall's in his tiny form Pym had passed by a glowing room that quickly caught his attention forcing him to stop as he lifted an eyebrow

No one was supposed to be here besides them and the guards

Slipping into the room Pym had flown form above to find himself in a small computer lab where the main stage of one mega computer was on and a nearby yell of anger could be heard

"No ! no ! what year is it !"

"2023"

"GAH ! STOP SAYING THAT !"

Growing a wide eyed expression over the voice, Pym knew he immediately recognized it making him glide closer to the computer

"OK, new question. Where am I ?"

"New York, Manhattan"

"That doesn't make sense. How would-"

"Anne ?" a voice called behind the red head immediately making her grow a shocked expression as her head began to tingle

Jumping back and flicking her wrist webs had shot out of her wrist making Pym shriek as he turned small bypassing the shot webs before growing back to normal

Gaining recognition from his face Anne-May's eyes soon went wide when she looked at Pym

"Small guy ?"

Pym rolled his eyes

"It's Pym"

Hoping off the ledge she jumped on Anne looked beyond shocked

"Pym ? how….where…I….IM SO CONFUSED !"

"You're confused ? I'm confused ! you should be dead !"

Anne looked at him up confusion

"Dead ?" she repeated making Pym nod his head

"Mhm, remember the blast…...wait a minute the blast…." pym mumbled

With his hands on his chin Pym had looked over Anne-May's features

From her ruffled red hair to her ripped and dirty clothing. She looked like she had just came from a war which make Pym's eyes grow even more wide

"How did you get here ?"

Anne blew a breath of air as she scratched the back of her head

"Hmm, it's gonna sound pretty crazy"

"Oh yeah, try me"

Accepting the challenge Anne Spoke

"So basically I was shot out of the sky into a giant free fall ready to hit the ground, But then my head started to tingle and I suddenly woke up and realized I was falling. So I shot a web hit a building really hard and now i'm here trying to get answers on where the hell I am"

Observing Pym's blinking reaction Anne just sighed

"Too crazy for you" she said but Pym's jaw just dropped to the floor

"More of us survived" he said making Anne raise and eyebrow

"What ?"

Shaking his head to try and at least adjust to the craziness of this all Pym took a deep breath

"Are you ready for this story to get even crazier ?" he sai and Anne's face of confusion grew even more

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Surfing through Osborn's personal files from within his office Francis went to his personalized computer where he was met with his arch enemy

"Password" he grumbled

Looking upon his desk trying to find any clues Francis did spot a picture. One of Norman his son and what seemed to be his deceased wife. Yeah Francis knew about the Osborn's from the stories his father told him back in the day….god that felt so long ago. How the times have changed haven't they

Turing back to the computer Francis typed in the word EMIL only to find success in unlocking the computer

"Gotcha you son of a bitch" Francis smirked before doing a deep dive from within the computer

Finding actual evidence against Oscorp and Osborn seemed like a dream come true to Francis. Of course his intel would be on his computer. Receiving a couple of secret messages from probably A.I.M. and hidden shipments of parts that he sent to A.I.M that he had hidden from the world

"I knew it ! I fucking knew it !" Francis chanted

Grabbing an arrow from his quiver the arrow revealed itself to have a hidden USB port that Francis stuck into the Computer's mainframe so he could copy all the info

Watching the download start Francis had spoken into his comms

"Hey guess, I found all of it. Oscorp is in bed with A.I.M and according to these messages" Francis said as he continued to scroll the computer with a smirk

"Everyone else we suspected is as well"

"Nice job Francis !" Azari praised

"Ok everyone randevu back to the ceiling. I'll tell the jet to meet us up there for pick up" James said

"Hey has anyone spoken to Pym recently, his comms have been quiet for the past 5 minutes" Torunn said making everyone's eyebrows arch

"Everyone head to the roof, I'll find Pym" James said leaving everyone to agree with the plan as they all started to set in motion

With a simple bleep Francis spotted the download complete and smile as he grabbed the drive from the computer and stored it in his quiver

Vaulting over the table Francis laughed

"Too easy, like taking candy from a-"

"Baby ?" a snarky voice spoke making Francis freeze and Immediately draw his bow to turn around

But once he did his eyes went wide before quickly tightening again as he laid his eyes on the centric millionaire himself

"Osborn" Francis growled as he held a tightening grasp on his bow

The older man just smiled, a drink in his hand as he walked out what seemed to be a hidden elevator that he was watching Francis in the entire time

Of course, how could he be so sloppy

Taking a sip of the glass Norman soon placed the drink down on the desk before tapping on his computer. He smirked before looking up at Francis

"You copied my files ? impressive, and here I thought you were an amateur"

"Shut your goddamn mouth" Francis growled once more making Norman chuckle

"Dear boy, you think that little toy scares me ? you clearly don't know me at all-"

"I know enough, Osborn"

"Oh really ? and who are you exactly ? another one of Mr Barton's goonies I suppose"

Deciding not to reply Francis kept his stern face as he kept his tight grasp on his bow

But he probably should've said something because Norman had just titled his head showing his thought

"Unless-"

Looking at his features from his purple and black theme, to the platinum blonde hair and the white and black goggles that rested atop his head a sinister smirk was soon upon Norman Osborn making Francis growl even more before he let an arrow fly scrapping the side of Norman Osborn's cheek making him grunt

"Whatever your thinking I suggest you don't unless you want my other one not to miss"

Feeling the small cut and blood that placed on his cheek Norman just growled before pressing a button on his desk

"You're gonna die for that you little brat !" Norman yelled

A small hovering noise made Francis's ears flicked before soon enough he ducked down right as a green glider came flying through the wall into the room

Hopping onto the device Norman's once brown suit was replaced with his green goblin armor

Springing to his feet Francis grabbed a remote from his back pocket and smirked

"Good luck chasing me in the dark" he said before pressing the button and soon enough the building went dark

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

All throughout the building each member of the team experienced the lights going out

Azari hanging from above saw the lights go out below him

It didn't bother James as much as sticking in the shadows was kinda his thing

Torunn happened to already be outside and waiting

But Pym and Anne had been mid conversation when the lights to the computer lab went out

"What was that ?" Anne questioned thinking they had been spotted but Pym knew

"Francis did something stupid" he groaned before taking her hand

"Come on we gotta go" he said as he began to lead Anne out the room to meet atop the roof with everyone else

"Is this how most of your missions go ?" Anne asked and pym just titled his head a little

"More or less"

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Arriving to the rooftop Azari came from the back entrance of a door fiding Torunn with her arms folded leaning upon a wall while James immediately made his entrance from a air duct

Looking around at the missing members James raised an eyebrow

"Umm ? Where's Pym and Francis ?" he asked before he could get an answer another door opened revealing Pym and Anne

"HERE !" he called out with his hand wrapped around Anne's arm

Immediately the trio's eyes went wide in shock when they noticed Anne

"Pym-" Torunn said in pure shock

"What the hell !" Azari yelled

Letting out a couple of gasps not being able to speak James mumbled words of nothing before Pym put his hands up

"I know, I know, A lot to take in. I found her here trying to piece everything together, Don't worry I filled her in on everything"

Giving Pym a look of confusion Pym just looked at them once more

"Everything" he said again making them nod their heads

Struck by Anne's view of even being here Azari scratched the back of his white hair

"So more of us are still coming from the future ? even now ? jesus when does it end"

"Trust me, This is just the beginning, I'll tell you more later but for now we gotta get out of here. Where's Francis ?"

Almost as if it was on que a door was barged open and it was Francis running as if the holy ghost was chasing him

"WE GOTTA GO ! WE GOTTA GO NOW !" he yelled

Immediately James caught him

"Whoa, whoa, slow down ? what happened in there"

"OSBORN ! GOBLIN ! GLIDER ! WHERE'S THE JET !"

"GET DOWN !" Azari yelled before Immediately creating a lighting forcefield around the team plus Anne that immediately stopped the impact of a mirage of bombs that hit them dead on

The impact Immediately disappeared when Azari took down his forcefield and in a giant cloud of smoke the Green Goblin had appeared gliding above them atop the roof

Immediately everyone hopped into fighting positions, Torunn, Francis and Azari grabbed their weapons

But Goblin just laughed through his mask not taking them any seriously

"What is this daycare ? how many of you children are there"

His glider continued to circle around them before he and Francis faced one another and he stuck his hand out

"Give me the drive boy, and Maybe I'll think about letting you all live"

Gripping his arrow tightly Pym moved himself to hide behind Azari before shrinking down to approach the glider

"Keep him talking Francis" Pym said through the comms before entering the glider

"Yeah, what if I don't dickhead" Francis challenged

Goblin again let out a laugh

"Well if you don't" he began as he flipped his hand and grabbed a nearby bomb that sprouted from his glider

"I'll just have to paint this rooftop red, some here, some there. And some all the way over there !"

"Please tell me no one takes this crazy man's act seriously ?" Azari said in a slight eye roll

"Watch your tone !"

"Why ?" Jame smirked

"Is there someone important to talk to ?"

Letting out a growl Goblin had prepared to throw the bomb straight at the group of teens, that was before his glider started to spark and burst in small puffs of smoke flying from out the glider Pym had revealed himself and dusted his hands with a smirk right as the glider started to malfunction causing Goblin to begin to fly around the roof wildly

"Alright we can go" Pym casually said as the Jet above them had decloaked itself

All sharing and glancing looks at one another they watched as Green Goblin continued to fly around in the sky and figured everything turned out ok. So they just decided to leave it at that and head home

.

"So on the battlefield…we didn't… die ?" Anne asked in pure confusion

Sitting around her the team all gave each other weird looks in how to explain the situation

"Well no…not really" Pym began

"See when Franklin and Valeria's powers merged. Instead of resetting everything in the universe it just sent everyone back to the past. Well everyone that already didn't have a similar phenomenon here. Franklin and Valeria's younger and older counterparts still work in tandem with one another here but…..Laura and other's didn't make the jump"

Taking in a deep breath Anne suddenly felt her heat begin to jump

"So…that means-"

Reaching out to grab Anne's hand Azari nodded his head

"Yeah…your parents are alive Anne"

She knew it was coming but the correction still made her heart jump 3 places when she heard the words out loud

"Anne, look, we know it's a lot to take in. Trust me we still are trying to digest the situation. But you need to know there's some rules you need to follow here. 1 you can't let anyone that doesn't know about Ultron, 2 you can't interfere with past moments-"

"So the basics of time travel got it, wow this…..this is. So much to take in all at once. But what I don't get is if you guys got here last month, why did I get here just today ?"

"Too hard to tell, we are still trying to figure it all out, some people arrived earlier or later than others Franklin and Valeria got here 3 hours later while Ian and Sam got here 1 day later. Time must randomly generate when they want to drop us in or not"

"Look this is a lot and you clearly must be tired and hungry and need to shower" Torunn began in which Anne nodded her head

"Don't worry. We have a place that can get you cleaned up and rested. And maybe tomorrow we can talk about-"

"Yeah" she said cutting Azari off

"Yeah I'd like that"

Figuring that was a good place to end the conversation they all turned back around and let the jet take them back to the Island where they were ready to call it for the day. Still mysteries unfold and now they felt like they were even more lost than they were before
