Primarily from a single player CYOA/RP format called Jumpchain. Serial crossover travel. Can gain powers and characters some have deviated from canon but developed too.

The main character a self insert referred to as Jumper or The Jumper and eventually gets abilities to transfer and alter Stands. I ruled perfect transfers are nigh impossible or risky so some changed.

Benefactor is a Jumpchain term. A common conceit is you are contracted by a AROB to entertain it for a decade at a time in each setting. After that it moves you as a Quantum leap, rebirth, or ISOT'd to next link on or off chain

This uses a lesser format of entries the crossover stand thread in the Creative Writing Index thread

Okay got to edit some more...

Crossover from:

Flame of Recca

Stand Name:

Iridescent Nehushtan

White Snake only now with a more … investigative persona, but No C-Moon or MiH abilities, it explicitly, per Benefactor, cannot evolve into MiH. The closest being able to is channel and transfer kinetic energies from one thing, even living, to another

Stand User:

Katara

Crossover from:

Last Airbender

Stand Name:

Isis

Primary: Similar to Daniel J. D'arby's Osiris but instead emphasizes oaths, agreements, commitments, and triggers on certainty of being caught as well as if sensing defeat or Soul Energy lowest.

Secondary: Sniffing connections between things based on personal bond and association. Does extend ability to sense flow and movement of water if one part connects to another, so extends range of water sensing as one part near her its furthest reach can be traveled to by the stand and so the extension of her influence at no strain and THEN range limit applies from that point.

Tertiary: As kin to the Moon of her world has a favorable association with lunar things, this extends to her family and connections but through/because of her.

As alluded to this is a take off the Egyptian Ennead gods. Where she was conspicuously absent in Part 3

Stand User:

Koku

Crossover from:

Flame of Recca

Stand Name:

Rod it All Night Long (or less provocative and shorter Stewart Highway)

Personally Created based on own spiritual Abilities (was a ghost) after some time observing and trading others to develop his own.

RiANL is effectively Heaven's Door only due to spiritual nature Koku fires HIMSELF into the person and can read, and rearrange, even burn things. Allowing access to anyone and anything's "inner world" though some more active and defiant than others. Also can only reside until next sunrise or sunset and its not impossible for someone to notice or draw from him while he is within. This also allows him to "fire" himself ala Casshern or similar to a point. Air kanji, reading or seeing something his wrote or painted, touching him or his works makes you a valid target to zap into.

Stand User:

Love God

Crossover from:

Gravity Falls

Stand Name:

Dove's Eye

This "Stand" (actually all of his are akin to Earth, Wind, and Fire, Ballbreaker and similar "not necessarily true/normal Stands") represents his instinctive skill, acceptance, charisma, savant-ism, or so on with Love in all forms and experiences.

Gal'ga Cherubi Choir Cupidité -Dominos iracundos ululatus

Deep down LG isn't one being but a multitude or plurality. Once the words "Heus, audite clamores iracundos dominos!" shared his cherubim self manifests. Parabola of faces, eyes, feathers, vintage rock, cuteness, love, and retro coolness in ever ringing circling and dancing tie and motion like electrons, planets, or blood cells appear with his chosen flourish and presentation. These cherubs or amoretti or putti can become just abstract shapes of light and feeling conglomerating into as many bows as there are "eyes" that are on his light. Eyes meaning anything that receives and responds to said glow/image. He may then fire the effects of his sparkles as missiles through the arc-and-line shapes as far as perceived and knows who and what perceives him and their enthusiasm for or profile on love, or can glance their aura and skims 'the sonnet of the soul' in that context. Tends to burn in an impression as intensely and rapidly and continually as a light fills an area or as digs deeper to read a thing and so must responsibly limit his own distance and scope and luminosity which is a bit hard as mortal things don't shine as brightly as he does now.

Ur-Comet Mitre Dew Spark-a-Motion

The ability to manifest the spiritual/conceptual of love and self, powers, or so on he has or touches as cherubim into physical form. Once formed they are. And only undone or changed by mortal re/action or experience (can't just undo or de-materialize aside from going full unmask and reabsorbing, and however impossible seem subject to and respond to natural laws despite being and enacting its supernature) How he makes his potions and the underlying principle behind his powers over and onto not-Heaven places "

References:

Dove's Eye is a phrase of affection used in The Song of Solomon the Bible's unapologetic love poem that has mention of a bare breast and remarkably NOT so chaste in all expression as would assume or expect. The term used to compare someone's beauty/character and quoted a bit for how it hits or how precious and unique and so on.

The second stand is a bunch of references to angels, cupid, or spirits or feelings or acts of passion or ardor. Cupidity, the feeling which is much more in line how Eros and his roman counterpart feared/seen, Galga or Spheres being a type of angel that may or may not also be the Cherubim as both attributed to the same vision in Ezekial Chapter 1 verses 4-28. And there is a supposed choir of angels called the "Masters of Howling" given to celebrate at times of day aloud. The choir name makes up the Stand name AND trigger phrase but in MTL Latin.

Finally, spoken aloud, the final Stand name is a reference to Donnie Darko. Also mitre, a bishop hat. I don't think, there is comet named or associated with it. Or an ersatz child surburban dance troupe.

Frroyd

Stand is outgrowth of his spiritual mastery. He can filter things in an "atmosphere" hear far off sounds and bare witness when meditate and even draw information psychometrically by projecting himself into the past while making his body stone (actually time frozen so impenetrable and unmovable) as he exams an area. Because of this he is starting to invent Spin like arts from first principles. He also has the ability to travel to the future, becoming like air in the present and reforming there,, but the trip is one way for him and he will only rejoin the group after he has truly lived out ten years in a world.

The enthralled Fisk has been given a jailbroken version of Strength. It's enhancement and control/awareness abilities can be used on anything capable of holding.

One idea is gaining the Forever Bag then use the Stand power on it and make an oppulent palatial estate with Tardis meets Potter levels of space folding and development meets Dolmabahçe aims and architecture.

References:

Biggering is from The Lorax, the term from the book and a song recorded but not chosen for the Illumiation movie release replaced by How Bad Can I Be but released with soundtrack purchase.

Stand User:

Cyber Colossus Ralph

Crossover from:

Wreck-it Ralph

Stand Name:

Really more formalization of abitlities,encoding, or algorithms of exercises of his Titan power. Ralph can make and hold as many Stands as make up the number of bits that made up the actual renderings of him and Ralph Kong. He is literally a source and creator and granter of Stands. His are attuned primarily & 1st to e-space but can transition with work and redefintion. These are just more sampling.

___man-Fever- represents hows Ralph leaves imprints and shadows of himself in reduction from his Titan form and mind with limited thinking and feelings but permenantly working and asserting the impression and intention where made. Usually their prefix hinting at mood or function. One of him always exists beneath the most active commonly use code, holding it up like Atlas

G&B48 - Ability to shape and form cybermatter and space to new forms including Stands or any phenom or function, really.

Pinball Wizard - Savantism with code, electronics, and what have you. Uncapper on understanding and interacting with coding and current and can choose to without himsrlf being affected. Also can do cyber manipulation from his own limbs to do more on any device with a console or filled with electricity, or the parts of something that are. This includes brains.

Cabinet Man - Can merge flesh beings with electronics or electric devices. Allowing the sustenance of one to support the other as they develop and evolve from the union. May reprogram character or form when doing so, giving them new purpose, function, or drives

Owl City - controls the time of day or lights in the atmosphere as far as he is seen and can see

Polybius- Videogames and TV rots your brains, or eats it, or liquefies it. All who perceive Ralph's image or that he's wrought or present through can be affected and he may appear through efen the image in their minds eye. Combines with X-Man Fever so often has subliminal telepresence and influence and shadows in user population

Dew it - Much less effeciently translate things existing in his world to the real world as real things. Well ANY world/state of being but if not 'fit' or well constructed may fall apart over time into pixels. Most effective if he's consumed and processed it increasing ease and control. Also allows him to enable himself, others, or creations to subsist on screen lighting and gaming sound or music for energy, if not nourishment

References:

Pac-man Fever by Buckner and Garcia who, before one of the iconic duo passed, released a theme song for the Title Character of Wreck-It Ralph sort of explaining the 'canon' take on his game.

The ending theme of the song "When Can I See You Again" was the more international/english song associated with the movie and its end credits performed by Owl City.. apparently one guy who is not a techno musician but some other specific genre that uses electronic processing and so on to give his songs and performances edge.

AKB48 was an old 48 member idol group when WiR was new and hired to make the OTHER big song associated with the movie, Sugar Rush, the title of the film in Japan. Not a bad music video and got them a little more visibility.

Polybius is an urban legend of a random arcade cabinet that might have been an experiment to control minds for the government and this gaming legend semi-foundation for "Lemon Demon" group of...well they do nerdy or weird music.

Their big name is Neil Cicierega. They are attributed as the original minds behind Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, at the least did a much fresher cover! Cabinet Man, by them on their album Spirit Phone, about a man who somehow killed himself in some likely perverted way but merged with a video game arcade cabinet while still somewhat alive until the death of arcades lead to his death in an abandoned one some night in winter near Christmas. One of his powers was being "in their minds" and being half human and half machine he could play against any player to match their skill and efforts. A legendary challenge But also ate humans on the side.

I had to put a Game Fuel AND Meme culture reference in there.

Stand User:

Zelda

Crossover from:

Stand Name:

The Legend of Zelda (I)

Naryu's Temperance

Yellow Temperance allowing the shapes-changing skin as well as form a bubble that can be sticky, bouncy, floaty, and more over her, even adjust and focus lighter through as if lenses, prisms, or kaleidoscopes

References:

As said though also reference to the spell Naryu's Love which surrounds Link in a forcefield and the name Naryu attributed to the Goddess of Wisdom or Zelda's virtue most associated in the series.

Stark Spangled Banner

Ch36: I Bid You Farewell And Good Luck, Morons. Part 1- It’s Like A Pirate Had A Baby With An Angel.

Intro: Thor wakes up on a strange ship, surrounded by even stranger people, a talking tree and a rabbit. Meanwhile, back on Earth, the fight to save Vision is won and the group make their way back to the compound to understand what exactly it is that they’re facing.

Warnings: Bad Language words.

Pairing: Steve Rogers x OFC Katie Stark

A/N: So I HAD to write Thor and Tony’s POV over the IW chapters too, because, frankly, they had some of THE best scenes in Infinity War, and I love that freaking Norse God Himbo and chaotic Stark chemistry so bad! I know this is Katie and Steve’s fic, but Steve had so little screen time in this film all things considered…we were so robbed!!! Once again, I can’t thank @angrybirdcr enough for her edits, they’re awesome!

Disclaimer: This is a pure work of fiction and classified as 18+. Please respect this and do not read if you are underage. I do not own any characters in this series bar Katie Stark and the other OCs. By reading beyond this point you understand and accept the terms of this disclaimer.

Chapter 35

Stark Spangled Banner Masterlist // Main Masterlist

Thor wasn’t dead. But he felt like it. Every inch of his body ached and when he was jerked back to consciousness for a moment, just one split moment, he thought he saw Little Stark. Only it wasn’t her. The woman had dark hair, yes, but as he focussed he realised she looked nothing like the woman he loved dearly as a sister. This wench had huge eyes and antenna dangling from her forehead. And, whilst he knew it had been a while since he had seen his friend, she wouldn’t have changed that much.

Finding his feet he looked around, chest heaving, at the band of people stood in front of him; a woman with green skin and red hair, a man with grey/blue skin covered in red designs, a tree creature- a Flora Colossus unless he was mistaken- which was off to the side draped over a chair, some kind of furry, animal thing- a rabbit maybe- and finally a man who appeared to be a normal, human being. That was until he opened his mouth and Thor realised he was probably the most stupid human being he had ever encountered.

His rescuers had offered him soup, and then when he had explained about Thanos, the green skinned lady called Gamora had told Thor what the Titan wanted the stones for. Which she knew, because she his daughter.

Thanos had a daughter. Interesting.

“Families can be tough,” Thor spoke wisely, placing a hand on her shoulder. “Before my father died, he told me that I had a half-sister that he imprisoned in Hell. Then she returned home, stabbed me in the eye so, I had to kill her.” He shrugged. “That’s life though isn’t it I guess? Round and round, but I feel your pain.”

The human, Peter Quill, pushed his way between Gamora and Thor, and looked at her “I feel your pain, as well, because, I mean it’s not a competition, but I’ve been through a lot. My father killed my mother, and then I had to kill my father. And that was hard. Probably even harder than having to kill a sister. Plus, I, came out with both of my eyes.”

Thor wasn’t paying attention. The man was clearly a moron, and he’d just noticed he had bent the spoon in the bowl of soup and was having a flashback to the time he had tried to bend the Captain’s shield. Little Stark had laughed so much at how annoyed he had gotten when he failed that she had cried. And then, to make it worse, a few days later the Captain had managed to move Mjolnir. Just a fraction, but it moved. No one had seen it, bar Little Stark of course, but there was something there, Thor was sure. Steve Rogers was a man worthy of a lot of things, but his hammer was complicated. You have to prove your worth. That had been explained to him by his Father the day he had given it to him. Of course, he hadn’t realised then that Eitri had actually made it for Hela first.

Eitri… Oh, yes!

“I need a hammer, not a spoon.” Thor mumbled, as the idea took hold and he looked at the pod at the back of the ship. “How do I open this thing?” He began pressing random buttons on the screen next to the door. “Is there some sort of a four-digit code? Maybe a birth date or something?”

"What are you doing?” the rabbit animal, Rocket asked.

“Taking your pod.” Thor replied nonchalantly.

And then there was an argument in which the moron Quill tried to imitate Thor’s deeper voice telling him he could not take the pod, but Thor was going to take the pod anyway because he was the God of Thunder after all, and then the lady Gamora cut them off quite rightly directing the focus back to Thanos by stating they needed to find out where he was going next.

But Thor had already thought of that. “Knowhere,” he answered as he brushed past Quill and over to the refrigerator he had seen Gamora get his soup from.

“He must be going somewhere.” Mantis argued innocently.

“No,” Quill shook his head and Thor noted his stupid voice was back to normal. “Knowhere? It’s a place. We’ve been there. It sucks. Excuse me, that’s our food.” He jabbed, suddenly noticing what Thor was doing.

“Not anymore.” Thor shrugged, stuffing it into a backpack he found.

“Thor!” Gamora cut across the pair of them again. “Why would he go to Knowhere?”

“Because for years, the Reality Stone has been safely stored there with a man called the Collector.” Thor stated.

“If it’s with the Collector, then it’s not safe.” Quill snorted. “Only an idiot would give that man a stone.”

“Or a genius.” Thor shrugged.

“How do you know he’s not going for one of the other stones?” Gamora asked.

“There’s six stones out there.” Thor began to explain, “Thanos already has the Power Stone because he stole it, last week, when he decimated Xandar.”

He didn’t missed the shocked and horrified look the group shared with one another.

“He stole the Space Stone from me, when he destroyed my ship and slaughtered half my people. The Time and Mind Stones, are safe on Earth. They’re with the Avengers.”

“The Avengers?” Quill asked.

“They’re Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.”

“Like Kevin Bacon?” Mantis called out.

“Errr he may be on the team now, I don’t know.” Thor shrugged, having no idea who the man named after a breakfast meat was. “I haven’t been there in a while. And as for the Soul Stone, well no one’s ever seen that. No one even knows where it is. Therefore, Thanos can’t get it. Therefore, he’s going to Knowhere. Hence, he’ll be getting the Reality Stone. You’re welcome.”

“Then we have to go to Knowhere, now.” Gamora stated, looking around.

“Wrong. Where we have to go is Nidavellir.” Thor picked up the backpack.

“That’s a made up word.” Drax, the blue man countered.

“All words are made up.” Thor smiled, slinging the backpack onto his back.

“Nidavellir is real?” The animal called Rocket’s eyes grew wide and he jumped up onto the table and looked at Thor. “Seriously? I mean, that place is a legend. They make the most powerful, horrific weapons to ever torment the Universe. I would very much like to go there, please.”

“The rabbit is correct.” Thor grinned at Rocket’s excitement. “And clearly the smartest among you. Only Eitri the Dwarf can make me the weapon I need.” He turned to the furry animal. “I assume you’re the captain, Sir?”

Rocket grinned and nodded, “You’re very perceptive.”

“You seem like a noble leader. Will you join me on my quest to Nidavellir?”

“Let me just ask the captain. Oh, wait a second, it’s me!” Rocket grinned. “Yeah, I’ll go.”

“Wonderful.” Thor beamed.

“Uh except that I’m the captain,” Quill chipped in

“Quiet!” Thor was now beyond bored of the moron.

“And that’s my backpack.” Quill continued pointing to the bag that Thor was stealing.

“Quill, sit down.” Rocket tapped at the pad and keying in the digits to open the pod.

“Look, this is my ship. And I’m not going to - wait, what kind of weapon are we talking about here?” Quill looked round.

“The Thanos-killing kind.” Thor smiled.

Boy, was it going to be a big, fucking weapon like no one had ever seen before…

“Don’t you think that we should all have a weapon like that?” Quill frowned.

“You lack the strength to wield them. Your bodies would crumble as you minds collapsed into the madness.” Thor shook his head.

“Is it weird that I wanna do it even more now?” Rocket asked.

“Erm, a little bit weird. Yeah.” Thor looked down at him, frowning.

“If we don’t go to Knowhere and Thanos retrieves another stone, he’ll be too powerful to stop.” Gamora stepped forward.

"He already is.” Thor shrugged.

“Look, I got it figured out.” Rocket interrupted, looking at Gamora. “We got two ships, and a large assortment of morons. Me and Groot will go with the Pirate Angel here, and the morons will go to Knowhere to try and stop Thanos. Cool? Cool.”

“So cool.” Thor grinned before he climbed into the pod.

“For the record,” Quill said leaning down to Rocket, “I know that you’re only going with them because it’s where Thanos isn’t.”

“You know, you really shouldn’t talk that way to your captain, Quill.” Rocket smirked, walking backwards and gesturing outwards with his arms. “Come on, Groot. Put that game down. You’ll rot your brain,”

As Rocket sat down Thor nodded out of the pod to the rest of the people on the ship. “I bid you farewell and good luck, morons. Bye.”

******

It wasn’t hard for the team to track Wanda, her red power flashing bright against the dark sky over Edinburgh City Centre, and as the jet followed her movements, the four friends saw her spiralling through the sky with Vision and crashing through the train station roof, just as Sam put the jet on the ground.

Within seconds the Ex-Avengers were sprinting off the jet.

“Katie, Nat, take the side!” Steve yelled, as he vaulted over the railings at the edge of the road running down onto the bottom half of the concrete ramp which led to the station. “Sam, up high and remember, we protect Vision at all costs!”

“Got em.” Sam spoke over the coms. “Platform seven, near the café.”

Steve vaulted over another set of barriers, the station now deserted thanks to the evacuation taking place by the local police. As he ran onto one of the walkways over the lines, he was just in time to see two of the aliens crash through the station roof. Weighing up his options, he realised it was going to be quicker for him to hop down onto the platform he was currently overheard, and jump across the lines to help. He swung his legs over the railings and landed easily, looking up. Across from him he could see Natasha and Katie emerging to the right, as Wanda stood and moved protectively in front of Vision, building power in her hands. An express train whizzed past him and he stood still, waiting and it wasn’t long before the taller, blue looking woman spotted him, and she launched her spear over the platform. Steve easily snapped his left shoulder back whilst leaning over his body with his right, catching the staff in his hand.

“Heads up.” Sam muttered, and as Wanda and Vision turned to see Steve step out from the shadows, fury lining his face, Sam swooped in and kicked one of the aliens across the platform and through a closed café’s security gate, causing tables and chairs to go flying, before he spun and started to fire on the other alien.

Steve launched the weapon he had caught across the tracks where Natasha caught it and stabbed the second assailant in the gut as Katie moved in to head off the other who was stalking back towards them. The weapon Natasha had been using flew back into the alien’s hands and Katie ducked as she swung, jabbing her in the back of the leg with an electric powered escrima stick. The alien let out a yell, stumbled slightly and Steve cleared the platform in an easy leap, rolling and scooping up the second assailant’s staff from the floor, holding it up to block the blow that the creature aimed at Katie. He grit his teeth, planting his legs to absorb the power of the hit, as Katie rolled to the side, jumped up and the two of them began to fight the alien, joined shortly by Natasha. Steve had to admit, the woman (if you could call her that) was a force to be reckoned with, but the three of them were just about getting the upper hand when they heard Sam yell.

“DUCK!”

The three of them did so and Sam flew in hard, kicking the woman backwards where she fell and scuttled over to her fallen friend. Sam landed next to Katie, drawing both his submachine pistols on the couple.

“Get up” The alien instructed to her fallen partner, her voice was deep.

“I can't.” His gravelly, robotic voice replied.

“We don’t wanna kill you.” Natasha spoke coolly “But we will”.

“You’ll never get the chance again.” The female levelled them, with a cold glare and with that a beam shot down from the hole in the station roof and the two were transported upwards. The weapon Steve was holding also shot out of his hand. He frowned in surprise for a moment, looking at his hand then upwards as the beam of light disappeared and the ship sped off.

“Can you stand?” Sam asked Vision as Katie replaced her sticks and walked towards Wanda and the android. When Vision shook his head, Sam moved forward to help him up.

Supported by Wanda and Sam, Vision looked over at Steve, Natasha and Katie, electricity shimmering over his surface. He’d been badly damaged in the fight, and as he spoke his voice distorted.

“Thank you, Captain.”

Steve took a deep breath and nodded. His face stern, but his eyes were much softer than his expression and Katie knew why. It had been a while since anyone other than Sam, Nat or Wanda had called him Captain.

Steve looked at the android, he might have been damaged but they had the stone, and that was the main thing. Nodding, he spoke. “Let’s get you on the jet.” His voice was soft and he moved to let Sam and Wanda support Vision on their way past him, Natasha following.

Katie hung back a little, trying to stop the light-headedness she was feeling from washing over her.

“You okay?” Steve turned to her as she blinked.

“Yeah, just took a whack that’s all. “I’m fine.” She assured him as they took up the rear of the group, her fingers lacing into his.

Once Vision was safely settled in a seat at the side, Sam dropped into the pilot’s seat. Katie hit the button to close the ramp as the Jet rose into the air.

“I thought we had a deal.” Natasha spun angrily to Wanda. ”Stay close, check in. Don’t take any chances.”

“I’m sorry. We just wanted time.” The younger woman said gently.

Katie glanced at Steve, he was stood up in the middle of the jet, hands on the buckle of his utility belt, staring seemingly at nothing but clearly contemplating something.

“Where to, Cap?” Sam asked.

Steve looked up, he glanced at Sam then locked eyes with Katie as he spoke one word, one simple word that they had all been waiting to hear for almost two years.

“Home”

*****

After a few hours, with the morning sky being the only thing in sight, Sam started to lower the jet through thick white clouds and Katie couldn’t help but inhale sharply when the compound began to take shape as she watched out of the front window. It looked the same. The buildings, the grounds…she wasn’t sure why she had expected anything to change, maybe because it felt like everything had changed for them, but either way, there it was. The exact same as the last time she had seen it.

Steve noticed her demeanour change slightly as they landed. She stood up straight, her shoulders squaring as if she was about to face an onslaught. And they were, in a way. On their way Steve had called Bruce to tell him that they had Vision and were heading back, but had had no idea what they were heading back to, nor did he care. Be it Ross, police, the army, whatever, Steve was done bowing to anyone’s will, he was over playing other people’s tunes. The two years they had spent hidden had shown them all that they could operate on their own if required, and he wasn’t afraid to fight anyone who got in his way.

They stepped off the ramp and strode over the lawn, Katie taking a deep breath as she looked around. So many emotions flooded her system, she couldn’t explain or identify half of them. Memories flashed in front of her eyes, visions of long summer nights spent outside in the garden and on the BBQ patio until sunrise. Laughs during team dinners. Sam and Wanda collaborating on pranks. Training sessions with the team and Vision reading Tolkien aloud to Wanda before asking questions about humanity’s love of fiction. Walks and picnics and other things in the ground, just her and Steve. Their wedding, God their wedding! Frequent visits from Tony, bringing in new ideas and improved gadgets. Getting back safe after being out on a long mission. Feeling relaxed and at ease.

Feeling at home.

Steve’s arm curled round his wife for a moment before he pressed a kiss to the side of her head as Vision opened the door.

“Still no word from Vision?”

“Satellites lost him somewhere over Edinburgh.”

“On a stolen Quinjet with four of the world’s most wanted criminals.” “You know they’re only criminals because you’ve chosen to call them that, right, sir? “

“My God, Rhodes, your talent for horseshit rivals my own.”

The sound of the call between Ross and Rhodey echoed down the corridor reaching the group that were making their way through to the lab.

“If it weren’t for those Accords, Vision would’ve been right here.” Rhodey shot back and Katie glanced back at Vision as the sounds the voices grew louder as they neared their destination.

“I suspect it will be a Hollo Call.” Vision said gently, answering Katie’s unasked question. His suspicions were proven correct as they rounded the corner and the lab came into view. Rhodey was stood across from where the holographic image of Secretary Ross was facing off against him.

"You have second thoughts?” Ross was challenging Rhodey, who smiled simply as his eyes shot sideways. Steve strode forward, his presence as intimidating as ever, and the first thing Rhodey noticed was just how dark he looked. Gone was the upstanding, All American Hero, and in its place was someone much harder, far rougher round the edges. Kiddo looked different too. Her hair was shorter and she looked slimmer.

“Not anymore.” He grinned.

The holographic Ross followed Rhodey’s gaze and his eyes fell on Steve who was stood next to Katie at the front of the group, Natasha, Wanda, Sam and Vision behind them. Steve raised his chin a little defiantly and moved to take his power stance, feet apart, hands on his belt, before he greeted Ross politely.

“Mr. Secretary"

Katie couldn’t help the smirk on her face as she watched Ross attempting to cover up the shock he had clearly felt at the group of outlaws turning up again. She locked eyes with Rhodey who gave her the smallest of winks before he glanced back at Ross who was shaking his head slightly as he approached Steve, his holographic form almost trying to square up to him. Steve simply raised his chin further and looked down from the steps he was stood on.

"You got some nerve.” Ross sniffed, staring up at him “I’ll give you that.”

“You could use some of that right now.” Katie shot back bluntly, Ross turned his head to face her for a second. She held his gaze and arched an eyebrow until he turned back to Steve.

“The world’s on fire.” Ross said incredulously. “And you think, you can just walk back in here and all is forgiven?”

Steve levelled the secretary with a firm gaze. “I’m not looking for forgiveness.” his voice took on a threatening tone as he spoke “And I’m way past asking for permission.”

At that point the smirk on Katie’s face grew even wider as she stole a glance up at her husband, pride swelling in her chest as he continued, stoic and unyielding.

“Earth just lost her best defender, so we’re here to fight. And if you wanna stand in our way,” he stepped down to be at level with the hologram, and stared it square in the eyes “We’ll fight you, too.”

Ross was practically foaming at the mouth as his eyes went to Rhodey and he spat out his order, “Arrest them.”

“All over it.” Rhodey promised nonchalantly before shutting off the hologram, shortly after a beeping noise sounded from the computers.

“That’s a court-martial.” He informed the group as he slapped the back of his right hand into his left palm, though his tone said told Katie that he blatantly couldn’t have cared less for Ross’ demands. There was a short pause as the group glanced down at their friend, Steve smiling softly, before Rhodey’s face split into a huge smile of his own.

“It’s great to see you, Cap.” He stepped forward.

“You too, Rhodey.” Steve answered, taking the last two steps down before he shook Rhodey’s hand. Katie threw herself at her brother’s best friend and he gave her a huge bear hug before he looked down at her.

“You do something to your hair?” He teased. Katie smiled, stepping back from his embrace while he looked the rest of the group over.

“Well. You guys really look like crap. Must’ve been a rough couple of years.”

Steve looked round, an amused smile on his face as he glanced at his wife then to the rest of the team.

“Yeah, well, the hotels weren’t exactly five star.” Sam quipped back cheekily, the banter flowing between them like no time at all had passed.

“Uh, I think you look great.”

Steve turned at the new voice to see Bruce inching his way into the room nervously wringing his hands together.

Steve and Katie remained silent, exchanging a glance. In the rush around and the fray of the fight, we’d forgotten to explain exactly who it was that called.

“Yeah. I’m back.”

Katie glanced over at Nat, she had her gaze fixed solely on the scientist as she spoke “Hi, Bruce.”

“Nat.” Bruce answered inclining his head towards her slightly as he fidgeted.

“This is awkward.” Sam piped up. Steve and Katie looked at one another, before they both smiled and looked back up at Sam.

“Any news on Tony?” Katie asked gently, interrupting the silence that had fallen.

“Not yet no.” Rhodey said. “FRIDAY lost him when he left the atmosphere. We got NASA running scans and we’re trying to track his trail but…” He shook his head.

“Typical Tony.” Katie rolled her eyes “Always has to go one bigger and one better doesn’t he?”

Her blasé tone wasn’t fooling anyone.

“Banner.” Steve said gently, looking across the room at the scientist. “Can you fill us in on what we’re up against here?”

“Yeah sure,” Bruce said nodding hesitantly.

Without so much as another word, the group all started to make their way out of the room. As Katie turned to follow Natasha, Steve’s hand gently fell on her shoulder. Without looking at him, she reached up and gently wrapped her fingers round his, giving them a squeeze before she left.

Steve took a deep breath as he glanced around the room once more, before he too followed on, that sick feeling in his gut was getting worse.
