#fjdkslaf;j these kids are hopeless

[universalfanfic]

Time Travel AU where Owen, Maddie, and Connor accidentally go back in time to their parents' younger days, and Owen calls Sutton "mom" and she freaks out because kids? she has KIDS? And then she's like, "wait, WHO'S YOUR DAD?" (this is prior to Stutton being an official thing) Cue awkward silence as everyone tries to figure out how Owen and Maddie's parentage isn't the most obvious thing in the world (they're probs standing beside Steve). And Connor just, "This explains SO MUCH about you two."

Well, I wrote a bit for this and my computer ATE it, so here’s a bullet point instead!! (((((((: 

Connor was working on a time machine “for fun” and Owen Does Not Approve. Maddie is, of course, all for it, and an argument breaks out. 

Owen tells Maddie “not to be stupid”, much to Connor’s dismay, and that Does It. Maddie smacks a panel of the machine because “oh? You want to see STUPID?”

So, yeah. That’s how they end up time traveling. 

But not WHERE traveling

They are still in Tony’s lab and now are surrounded by some very confused not-yet parents 

Maddie tries to tell Tony, Steve, and Nat that they’re from the “Department of Interdimensional Affairs” because Connor flubbed introductions anyway 

Sutton comes in and she’s still healing from her time jumping dimensions. Seeing her looking beat up instantly alarms Owen which is why he blurts out “mom!” 

Everyone in the room FREEZES 

Maddie asks who the stupid one is now 

Of course some chaos ensues. Sutton is freaking out like, “What!? I am NOT your mom! WHo- WHAT” 

Owen is standing with his hands on his hips and turning red. Maddie has arms crossed and is grinning despite. All next to Steve (also with hands on hips, protectively next to Sutton) who is looking flabbergasted. 

Nat sees it. She goes from surprised pikachu to cheshire cat.

Tony confirms their spontaneous appearance and lack of records through Jarvis, so there’s really no use denying it. 

Tony, pointing to Connor: “Oh my gosh. Is it you? Are you my spawn? Look at those freckles, I’d recognize those anywhere.”

Sutton shouts, “WAIT” and everyone turns to look. “WHO is your FATHER???” 

There’s another silence as at least both Nat and Connor just stare at her. Steve looks a bit prickly. Like he doesn’t enjoy the idea of that question.

BLOND HAIR/ AUBURN HAIR, BLUE EYES, TALL, ATHLETIC BUILDS. WHO COULD IT BE??? 

Connor: “So you both get this honestly. I understand now. Everything is coming together.” 

They somehow manage to not give EVERYTHING away before Connor and Tony get the machine back up and running 

And neither Sutton or Steve have put the pieces together by the time they leave. They are hopeless. 

When Steve asks Sutton out much later, it takes them a second but they both Have A Moment. 

Sutton, the reddest red you’ve ever seen: “Oh my gosh… do you think..?”

Nat: “YES OH MY GOSH YES. IT’S BEEN 84 YEARS.”
