#my boss looks at me and says ''captain marvel''

[tamayokny]

accidentally called captain shazam by his previous hero name (captain marvel) so i had to explain to my boss about the history of shazam and the character lineup

Warfare

You see, Marvel’s mentioned the Wisdom of Solomon before. The JL never really thought much about it. As a result, the JL just thinks Marvel has all these… interesting ideas but just never says anything about them. Though, there are a couple times the ideas are actually voiced. (They don’t know Billy is just parroting whatever Solomon or occasionally another God with tell him)

Like the time Batman and Marvel got stranded on a planet that was stuck in the middle of war. They were promised

Rebel Leader: “Do either of you have any ideas to bring to the table?”

Batman: “No. Marvel?”

Marvel: “Huh? Oh uh… well I could magic a plague into the water near them. You said they’re using it for their water source, right? Then, when they’re weak, we can go around and take them out.” *sounds hesitant*

Batman: “Hmm… That could be a good idea, but what sort of plague are we talking about?”

Marvel: “Cholera.”

Batman: “What.”

Marvel: “Cholera.”

Batman: “Marvel, that’s fatal.”

Marvel: “Oh.”

Batman: “Yeah.”

*silence*

Marvel: “Well, if we’re quick, it we can get to them before they die.”

Batman: *stares for a bit, holding back a sigh* “We don’t even know if Cholera will affect their biology the same way it does humans.”

Rebel Leader: “What is this Cholera?”

Batman: “It’s a deadly waterborne disease.”

Rebel Leader: “I see… And you’re unsure whether it will work with our physiology… might I propose a different disease?”

So yes, biological warfare, that’s our first thing. Batman proceeded to spend a lot of time convincing the Rebel Leader not to nearly kill an entire group of people with their version of Cholera.

Then there was the time Bruce and Marvel were working together and got held up in a shootout at a lab.

Marvel: *looking at the various chemicals in the lab* “Gosh, I remember my first exposure to chlorine gas.” *getting nostalgic* (He’s from the 1940s in this one, guys)

Batman: “You’ve been exposed to chlorine gas?”

Marvel: “Yeah, and let me tell you, those dang Nazis were horrified when it didn’t work on me. Don’t worry though, we’re gonna be making mustard gas instead.”

Batman: “Captain, we are not doing that.”

Marvel: “Why? We have all the available ingredients.”

Batman: “Marvel.” *puts a hand on his shoulder* “Mustard gas can be fatal.”

Marvel: “Oh.”

Batman: “Yeah.”

*silence*

Marvel: “My bad.”

*more silence*

Batman: “Is this why you always let others plan?”

Marvel: “Are you gonna look at me weird if I say yes?”

Batman: “Hn.” (Translation: Yes, but it won’t be visible through my cowl)

This incident checks chemical warfare off the list. Bruce is now concerned as to why most of Marvel’s ideas are either nearly fatal or just fatal.

Then there was the time Marvel went undercover with Bruce Wayne, not Batman for whatever reason. They then got attacked by pirates while on a ship trying to gather information about some supervillain.

Bruce and Marvel: *taken cover under a table while the pirates fire cannon balls at them*

Bruce: “Any ideas?” *peaks over the cover only for a cannonball to whiz right past his head*

Marvel: “I think I have one. So here’s what I’m thinking. I take out their mast, steal all their oars, and then push them out to sea and let them drift wherever.

Bruce: “That’s… Intense. Wouldn’t they starve if you just let them drift?”

Marvel: “I guess. If they’re not saved, I mean.”

Bruce: *stares with the most deadpan face* “How about I come up with a plan instead?”

Marvel: “You got it boss.”

And last but not least, the physical warfare.

By the way, Billy doesn’t know Bruce is the Bat. No, no, no, he just thinks the guy is someone Batman wants him to work with. He was a little surprised to see the dude act all brooding like Mr. Batman when he had heard from others that he was a party boy. Oh well, not his business. Meanwhile, Bruce doesn’t know Marvel thinks he’s just interacting with a capable civilian.

That last part was inspired by @helps-the-writing-brain-go’s reblog of this post. Thanks for letting me write with your idea :)

DOUBLE TROUBLE

PAIRINGS: CarolValkryie x reader

WORD COUNT: 679

WARNINGS: smut, double penetration, degrading, punishment, slapping, edging, overstimulation, threesomes, that’s abt it :)

NO ONE IS PERMITTED TO STEAL, COPY, OR REBLOG MY WORK AS THEIR OWN!!

Reminder that this will be my last ever smut post!! Going forward I will not be writing smut so I apologize for those who did not get their asks answered

“No, I- I can’t,” You mumbled weakly, too tired to fight off the women surrounding you. Valkyrie was behind, her tip teasing the entrance of your tightest hole while Carol continued to slide in and out of your cunt. Her strap would rub her clit perfectly to cause just the right amount of friction, and her moans blended in with yours.

“Yes, you can, and you will.” Valkyrie groaned, seemingly tired of the ‘attitude’ you had been throwing towards both of them. Valkyrie wasn’t able to visit you and your girlfriend often, only when it was serious, and Carol had decided it was one of those times. You were nearing your period, and your hormones were spiraling like usual. Although, it was also the Holiday’s, and you had been missing both women, so you were in a worse mood than they could’ve expected.

“Look at that, baby, you’re taking Captain's cock so well,” You sniffled quietly, and they had to stifle a chuckle at your weakened expression.

“Don’t praise this little slut. They’ve been so, so naughty, it’s only fair we give them what they’ve been asking for.” Although it wasn’t at all what you were asking for. You wanted to be with the two women, between the two in a similar position as to how you are now. But you wanted to hear their soft praises on the shell of your ear. You wanted to feel their lips slowly moving down your neck and body. You wanted their hands to lovingly slide across your breasts, unlike the way they were groping you currently. You wanted to cum on their tongues, their fingers, their cocks; whatever it was they could give you. But you wanted them more than anything, and if this is what they were giving you, you wouldn’t dare to complain.

“Fuck, I’m already halfway, baby. You think you can take the rest of me, hm? You think this tight fucking ass can take Daddy’s cock?” You sniffled but lacked a response, causing a slap to arrive across your cheek. You whimpered, but quickly nodded without a thought, your mind barely registering what she asked.

“This must feel so fucking good, huh, darlin’? Having two cocks just destroying your holes, giving you no room to protest. This messy cunt seems to be betraying you when you say you don’t want this, little one.” Carol muttered close to your lips, quickly leaning down to take your bottom lip in her mouth as she bit down slightly, causing you to hiss in further pain. You didn’t know how much longer you could take, but you hoped they’d give in soon.

“C’mon, I know you want to cum for us,” She spoke once again, and you heard Valkyrie let out a deep groan as your skin touched the base of her strap. You shuttered, feeling both women deeper than ever before inside of you, the only hole left to fill was your mouth.

“Shh, just open, pretty girl.” You didn’t entirely understand what they meant, so you opened the barrier of your lips and spread your legs even further, both mumbling dirty praises in response. You felt two fingers thrusting into your mouth soon after, opening your eyes to see an arm from behind wrapping around to visit the said area. Her knuckles pressed against the sides of your cheeks, and you gagged as she forced herself impossibly deeper.

“I think this little slut likes having their holes filled, ‘cause they’re making a fucking mess.” You led your eyes down, quickly shutting them in shame as you admired the wetness leaking from you. You had never been this turned on, what were they doing to you?

“P’ease, Captain; please, D-daddy, let me cum f’ you.” In an instant you felt the two stilling inside of you, and it seemed they had wordlessly matched their arrivals as their moans seemed to bounce off each vibranium wall. This only brought you closer, and the dirty scent of sex filling the room only brought you further arousal.

“Cum for us, you dirty slut,”

TripleDate

April30th, 2004

Beware: bottom text leads to darker themes, as the story progresses! ♡

Before! › here! › After!

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯✦

“What, the hell, are you doing, Ryusei?” Baji aggressively whispered.

“C’mon it’s fiine! All I did was invite her out with us!” The taller boy laughed. “It’s not like you have anything to hide anymore.” He grinned pointedly at his blonde friend, who bashfully looked away. “I already apologized, damnass..” Chifuyu muttered.

Baji clicked his tongue in annoyance, fussing with the back of his head in agitation. “Whatever. Arcade is canceled.” Baji waved off, leaving no room for discussion. “What!” Replied a displeased grunt.

“I was looking forward to going, though.” You announced with crossed arms. “And stop trying to disinclude me, it’s very rude!”

“You act like you got any say in the matter, shorty.” Baji waved your attitude off with a huff. He really was stubborn, acting this way. “Last time I checked I can make my own decisions, Keisuke.” You rolled your eyes at him, linking arms with Chifuyu.

“Cancel yourself if you’re gonna be a prude,” you gave Baji a teasing smile. “But Arcade and Karaoke sounds like a great way to spend my Saturday night.”

Baji became stunned at your blatant shots against him, mouth agape at your new demeanor. “That’s right!~ Pizza’s on me!” Ryusei laughed in reply, draping his arm around your shoulders; lazily observing his captain’s next actions.

Baji tensed up at this notion. “That’s not what I meant..!” He spat, giving an exasperated sigh. “Whatever, what the hell.” Baji finally returned the teasing grin, dropping his glasses into the pocket of his shirt. “Looks like I get to school you in something for a change.”

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯✦

Once Baji finally came around, the day out went fantastic.

Chifuyu and Ryusei would get into an altercation every so often, but your blank stare paired with Baji’s threatening one seemed to keep the two in check.

“How are you so good at pin ball?” Chifuyu marveled at Ryusei’s high score. “I’m good at everything Chifuyu~” Ryusei bragged before settling you forward. “Your turn, pretty girl. Let’s see what you got.”

Blushing over the use of this overly affectionate nickname, you shrugged. “I don’t think I’ve played this before,” you admitted, checking the machine for all its buttons. “The concept is easy enough, I guess.”

Baji subtly pushed Ryusei, glaring. “Watch it,” he whispered to the other. “Make her uncomfortable and you die.” He spoke like a promise.

Ryusei readjusted how close he stood next to you, embarrassed at how clueless he felt. Ryusei’s own crush on you was slipping, and as oblivious as Baji was to signals, the overall closeness between you two was making his blood boil. “Sorry boss,” Ryusei whispered.

You’d been distracted by the game and Chifuyu’s little tips and tricks, he hovered his finger above the glass. “This tunnel gets you a bunch of points, so try aiming there!”

Smiling sweetly at Chifuyu’s innocent grin, you elbowed him affectionately. “Thanks chi! Here I go!” You hyped yourself up, putting in the token.

It took a little bit of trial and error, but before long, you were scoring higher and higher numbers, seemingly never losing the pin ball. “No way!” Chifuyu laughed with a huge grin.

“You’re freaking awesome, Y/n!”

The blonde’s praise boosted your ego, a wider grin setting in. “Check this,” you grinned back, flicking the nozzle just right to trap the pin ball, earning an overarching highscore.

“No shit!” Baji howled, ruffling your hair in praise. “Look’t that, new high score. The hell can’t you do?!” You embraced his words, leaning into his hand. “I wanna try that next,” you pointed, crossing the boys’ gaze across the arcade.

MORTAL KOMBAT2

All three of them smirked. A fighting game. How ironic.

The four of you blazed past all the games, winning more than most and poking fun against eachother failures. Ryusei’s car racing skills was no joke. Chifuyu had a sharp eye for point and shoot games, and of course Baji’s favorite, were fighting games. (despite being his favorites, he didn’t seem to not be very good at them)

“THIS IS BULLSHIT!” He shoved the machine backwards, earning some nervous glances. “I totally—-!” Baji yelled, turning to complain further, but halted at your quirked brow, apparently amused.

Chifuyu noticed Baji’s wordless response, face turning red with frustration from losing his seventh round of MK2. “I’m hungry! Ryusei, treat us to pizza!” Chifuyu distracted the group, for his captain’s sake.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯✦

The night’s escapades came to an end after long, the four of you laughing in unison.

“Thanks for inviting me out guys, it was really fun!”

Ryusei chuckled and wrapped his arm playfully around your shoulders, pulling you into him. “You’re the one who made the outing fun, princess~ Really surprised me with that death metal voice though.”

You laughed, clearing your strained voice. “I admire many music genres! Metal happens to be particularly entertaining!”

Chifuyu failed in attempt to hide a laugh.

“Your genre tastes sure are interesting, y/n!”

Baji seemed to recall something suddenly. “Speaking of, I just finished Volume 12 for Berserk, mind if I trade off for Volume13?” He asked you, earning a gasping reply. “You were supposed to finish NaNa! No more trade offs until you’ve gotten through what you already have!”

“Everyone, heads up!~” Ryusei flipped out a cell phone, amused.

“Come on boys, let’s take a photo to commemorate our Triple Date~” he declared jokingly, earning a harsh ‘ehh?!’ from Baji— and a wide grin from Chifuyu’s huddled closer form.

The photo encapsulated was a little dark and a little blurry, but clear enough to make out your confused face being pushed cheek-to-neck with Ryusei, Chifuyu’s bashful grin to the right of you, holding up a peace sign. And, slightly in the background, captured Baji mid-yell, canines full on display.

The photo Ryusei took, and kept as his cell phone background.

The photo that got you wrapped up in this whole mess.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯✦

June21st, 2004

“Who’s the girl, Ryusei?” Kojiro spoke menacingly quiet.

“Is she your friend? Really?” He scoffed, eyes flaring when he swung his fist against Ryusei’s cheekbone again.

“Thought that little tramp was Baji’s girl. You’re telling me you’ve been friends with her this whole fucking time?!”

He yelled, pulling white hair tightly.

“No…” he narrowed into Ryusei’s crying face, alone and vulnerable with no one but Kojiro for witness.

“No… that’s right.” Kojiro smiled.

“You were never friends. You’ve been planning this for a while; right?” Kojiro cradled the injured boy in his hands lovingly.

“You were never friends. You were getting her to trust you. Nothing more.” He cooed.

“You always were the more charming of us two in that regard, I suppose.”

“So tell me, Ryusei. Who is Y/n L/n to Baji Keisuke?”

Heat Of The Moment

Pairings: Carol Danvers x fem!reader; Maria Hill x fem!reader (platonic); Nick Fury x fem!reader (platonic)

Warnings: brief mention of injuries; reader gets hurt

Summary: you put yourself in danger one too many times and Carol gets worried. A heart to heart is needed…

Genre: hurt/ comfort

a/n: I watched the Marvels today so Carol’s on my mind ;)

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***

You were laughing with some of your SHIELD colleagues when Carol marched in. “I want you to quit your job,” she demanded.

“Um.. ok. What’s wrong?”

Your colleagues muttered awkwardly and moved away giving you and Carol some space. You sighed and gestured around you. “You had to do it here?”

“I’m sorry,” she replied gently. “But when Maria Hill calls me up to inform me that my girlfriend’s been injured, I get worried. You didn’t think to mention you got shot?! Twice!”

“Let’s start with the part where Maria called you. Why?” Carol looked away. “Why Carol?”

“Oh it’s ‘Carol’ now?”

“It is until you stop acting so damn mysterious and tell me why my boss has you on speed dial!”

“Ladies!” Nick Fury’s voice rang out across the office. He pointed to the conference room. “Both of you. Now.”

You refused to sit down, instead pacing the length of the room looking anywhere but at Carol. You were angry and confused that she’d gone behind your back and taken protective measures without consulting you.

Carol sat down, watching you and saying nothing. Fury finally broke the silence. “What’s the damn issue? Yelling in the workplace like children is not professional.”

“Going behind my back is not professional!” you shouted. “Checking in on me without involving me is not professional! Having my boss on speed dial is not professional Carol.”

“Please stop calling me Carol!” she snapped. Taken aback, you stared at her in surprise. “And don’t give me that look. You know why. I’m off world 355 days a year. I’m not here. And it’s great you’re working for SHIELD. I know that’s your dream. But then you signed up to missions, to more, and suddenly I’m two galaxies away receiving calls from your boss telling me you can’t talk to me because you’re lying unconscious in a hospital bed, damn near close to dying!” Tears were pooling in your girlfriend’s eyes.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry I don’t make it easy. I’m sorry I don’t always communicate. But I’m not quitting missions or SHIELD to make you feel safer. I came alive Carol. Storming those bases, analysing intel, working with the Avengers, working with you… I’m not giving it up now I’ve experienced it. You can’t ask me to do that.”

Carol rubbed at her eyes then looked at you coldly. “Then I guess we’re not meant for each other y/n.” She got up and left the room, ignoring your stammering voice.

“I think you just got dumped,” Fury informed you.

“Yes I’m well aware of that!” you snapped, exiting the room angrily.

You headed straight for your room and fell on your bed, bursting into tears. You were so happy when Carol had first looked at you then talked to you and then eventually kissed you. You had everything you could possibly want… and you’d just lost it all.

***

Several weeks later, you were on a standard recon mission for SHIELD. Captain America was supporting but it was considered unlikely he’d be needed. You knew he was there to keep an eye on Sharon Carter, as they’d recently started seeing each other.

The thought made you smile and your heart ached with a memory of Carol and the cheeky looks she’d send you in meetings that were meant to be serious.

“I’ve got the back,” you informed your team mates on comms, running to a padlocked door. A simple silent detonation device blasted it open and you headed inside, gun at the ready.

“All clear-“ Someone crashed into you making you gasp and drop your gun. You scrabbled with one hand trying to find it and someone trod on your fingers making you yelp.

The attacker picked you up and threw you with force against the far wall. You hit your head, cried out and everything went black.

***

Slowly you opened your eyes to see your hand smothered in bandages, an IV poking out. One leg was in a cast, supported by a sling from the ceiling. You could feel tight skin across your right cheek and winced when you touched it.

“I wouldn’t do that.” Maria strode into the room, clipboard in hand, Dr Cho behind her. “Helen’s done some cell reconstruction on your cheek, it was ripped apart by exposed steel supports in the wall.”

“Deputy Director Hill, with all due respect, Agent y/l/n should be resting right now. She has just had major surgery and needs time to recover. Questioning can wait,” Dr Cho announced.

“Doctor, as I’ve told you, I just need a few minutes to ask some questions.” Maria shot the doctor a firm gaze. “Five minutes.”

Helen muttered then swiftly left the room, talking intently to herself. Maria watched her go then turned to you. “Agent.”

“Maria,” you replied, “you’ve known me for six years.”

“Fine… y/n, don’t you ever pull crap like that again.” Her tone was firm but her eyes twinkled. “You gave us all a fright. What were you thinking charging into danger like that?”

“Cap was on support and I’ve run far more dangerous ops than this one Maria.”

“Cap’s eyes were on Sharon Carter.” Maria sighed. “I’m over-ruling Fury on that one next time.”

“Hmm.. let me be a fly on the wall for that conversation,” you smirked, making Maria roll her eyes.

“Now then, as for the – “

“WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!” Carol barged into the room, breathing heavily like she’d run a marathon and glaring at you.

“Why hello to you too,” you replied. “You’ve interrupted a mission debrief so if you join the queue in the corridor…”

“You’re not that popular, don’t flatter yourself,” Maria teased, shutting up when she noticed Carol’s side eye. “Okay, y/n we can resume this later.” She quietly exited the room.

You glared at Carol. “I was working.”

“You got thrown against a brick wall, had your face torn apart by a steel barrier, broke three bones in your foot and fractured four fingers… that is not working!”

“Touche. Someone read my file.”

“Y/n…” Carol whimpered. “Please. Talk to me.”

“As I recall we’re not meant for each other so we probably shouldn’t be talking,” you replied coldly.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry y/n.”

“Sorry isn’t enough anymore.” You leant back on your pillow and closed your eyes. “We’re done here Carol.”

“Sweet…”

“Don’t even start.”

Silence fell. You slowed down your breathing and heart rate. Having Carol back was making you feel all sorts of emotions and you didn’t want to admit you were over the moon to see her. You lay further back against your pillows and soon drifted off into a restless sleep.

***

Hours later you opened your eyes. You turned your head slightly to see painkillers being drip fed into you.

“Hey… how are you feeling?”

You looked tiredly at Carol. “Like I lost a fight with a brick wall.”

“I deserved that.”

“Yeah. You were mean.” You sighed.

“But?”

“What makes you think there’s a but?”

“Always is with you,” she chuckled and your heart leapt at the sound.

“But… so was I. We both said some things.”

“We sure did.”

“We’ve said worse,” you commented dryly making her chuckle again. “But you were mean. I get where you’re coming from though.”

“Oh yeah?”

“You’re away 355 days of the year. You live in space. I’m not always up there. I worry too. This isn’t a one-way street hun.”

“Hun?”

“Term of endearment. Short for honey. Aka you.”

Carol smirked and moved closer, perching on the edge of your bed. She ran a hand over the good side of your face, pressing her fingertips against your lips gently. You kissed them smiling up at her.

“I miss you,” you whispered.

“I was out of line,” she replied. “What I said… I said it because I love you y/n.”

You stared at her. Neither of you had said the three little words yet and hearing her say them made you smile. “I love you too dumbass.”

“Oh I’m the dumbass? You’re the one who took on a brick wall.”

Firefighter AU, Part 2

Warnings: Semi-public sex (in an ambulance), making out in an office, smut, sort of name calling, hair-pulling, praise kink

A/N: Tony is a Firefighter Captain, Reader is an EMT Captain. All Marvel characters are also part of this universe. Also Tony and Reader are more of friends with benefits but with a bit more romantic feelings than normal.

Hello to all my new followers! I wasn't expecting the reaction I received yesterday on part 1 so I'm so excited to get started on this journey. Honestly, I love this series and if anyone has any ideas for future installments then just let me know! Thank you to everyone! Also photo creds go to @tonysfarts

"What's a pretty thing like yourself doing in this office all alone?" Tony asks from the doorway. You turn your chair and look at him, noticing that he's gripping the top of the door with both hands and leaning inside the door. "I had some paperwork to fill out from that last call we went on to explain why we had to do a field tracheotomy on our patient. The usual fun stuff." You say filing the paperwork away. He moves from the doorway and walks over behind your chair, placing his hands on your shoulders and massages gently.

You moan softly as he moves his hands and notice how he pays special attention to your shoulders. A comfortable silence falls over the two of you, with the occasional moan falling from your lips. Tony leans down and kisses your forehead so you lay your head back to steal a kiss. He chuckles against your lips and kisses you again.

"If anybody walks in, they're going to have a field day with this one." You laugh. "Well then let's give them a show, honey." He stands you up, pushing your chair to the side and kisses you deeply. Your arms wrap around his shoulders as he lifts you up and sits you on the desk as his tongue swipes across your bottom lip and you open slightly, letting him attack your mouth. You grind your hips against his, feeling his erection as he moans in your mouth.

"You're such a dirty girl, honey. Getting me all hard knowing anybody could walk in right now." His kisses trail down your jaw and neck. "I should punish you for being such a naughty girl." He nips your skin just above your t-shirt. A moan escapes your lips as you pull him closer. "Does my dirty little slut want that? To be punished for being so naughty and impatient?" He asks. "Fuck, yes sir. I want you to punish me." You moan as you pull on his hair.

Tony comes back up and kisses you again, unbuckling your pants to pull your shirt out but a loud ring fills the fire station. "Shit!" You both exclaim, standing up and fixing your clothes as fast as you can. "Catch you later?" Tony asks mid way down the stairs. "You know it, baby." You smile running over to the ambulance and getting in while he gets in the firetruck.

------

"Rhodey, Romanoff, take a well deserved break. I'll finish up here." You tell them as they finish organizing everything in the back of the ambulance. "Alright, captain. Thank you." Rhodey says as they walk upstairs. You start spraying everything down, smirking when you feel someone's presence. "You know it's rude to stare at people, right?" You ask. "I'm sorry, can't help but admire you sometimes." Tony flirts as he steps inside the ambulance. He takes the spray from your hands and sets it aside. "Remember that idea you had a while back? That involved us and this ambulance?" Tony asks as he pushes your hair out of the way, leaning down to kiss your neck.

"You really are trying to get us caught by everyone." You chuckle. "Everybody here knows we're messing around, darling. Luckily they like us so they won't expose us to the higher ups." He mumbles as he trails kisses up to your ear. A moan escapes your lips and you feel his hand sliding up your thigh. "At least shut the-" He shuts the doors quietly before you can finish your sentence. "Where do you keep the extra sheets at?" He asks looking around. You reach across and grab one, handing it to him.

Tony spreads out the sheet on the floor, crawling over to you and helps takes your boots off. "Come here, honey." He says helping you to the floor. "I guess it's a good thing I took the stretcher out of here, huh." You chuckle. He laughs and kisses you deeply, unbuckling your pants and slowly pulls your pants off. Biting his lip, he leans down and trails kisses up your leg before taking your underwear off. "Look at you all ready for me, darling." He moans as he slides his tongue up your slit. "Taste so sweet for me.." You moan as he starts to praise you and you tug on his hair.

"What do you want, hon? Hm?" He looks up at you with those sinful, lust filled doe eyes. "I want you, baby." You moan. "Yeah? How do you want me?" His tongue slides across your clit. "Your tongue. Please." You whimper. He smirks and lowers his head, using his tongue to tease your clit while he slips a finger inside of you. "Fuck.. Tony." You moan as he slides another finger in and starts moving them. He sucks and licks on you, using his other arm to move up your body and squeeze your breast softly.

You moan, knowing you won't last much longer especially after what happened earlier in the day, and you start moving with his fingers trying to chase your orgasm but he pulls them out and sits up. "What the fuck, Tony!" You exclaim sitting up. "What? You think I forgot about earlier when I told you that you needed to be punished for being naughty?" He says innocently. You look at him, shocked but knowing why he did it.

Tony leans down and kisses you again, laying you back down. "You'll be able to cum soon, I promise," He unbuckles his pants and pushes them down to free his cock, "I always take care of my baby." His hand moves down and grips his base as he teases your entrance with his head before sliding in. "Shit, Tones." You moan as he bottoms out. He starts moving at a medium pace, placing his hands behind your knees and pushes them down so your knees¹ are by your ears.

"Such a pretty little slut for me. Letting me do whatever I want to you." Tony moans as he leans down to kiss you. Your arms wrap around his shoulders, holding him close as he pounds into you. You hiss as you feel your orgasm getting close again. "Can I cum, please?" You beg. "Yeah, cum on my dick, darling." He moans as he feels your walls clenching around him.

You pull his hair as you cum, feeling his movements stutter as he releases inside of you. "Shit, I wasn't expecting to cum yet." He says pulling out of you. "I have that effect on you." You smirk as you sit up, hearing his chuckle while you grab some wipes. He cleans the both of you off and kisses you deeply before helping you get dressed. You fix your hair and start cleaning up, throwing the sheet by the door as he opens it.

"See you later, okay?" He kisses you softly. "I'll be here." You chuckle as he walks off. "Hey, Y/N." He calls from the steps, making you turn towards him. "Do you want to go out on a date tomorrow? I know this great restaurant a few towns over if you're interested." Tony asks, shyly. "Yeah, I would like that." You smile as he smiles. "It's about time you two asked each other out. Maybe then you can stop having sex in our ambulance." Natasha calls and you cover your face in embarrassment. "Or make us want to do it more." Tony says laughing as he heads to his office.

"He was being a little fussy earlier today. He pooped all over himself and we had to bathe him. He wasn't having any of it, but we got through it."

Bucky looks at the kitten, "You being a little stubborn, Al?"

"Think you're rubbing off on him," Yelena says with a smirk, patting the white kitten's head.

Bucky rolls his eyes, "Don't think I've rubbed off on him that much yet." He then turns to you and softly smiles, "So, what's on the agenda boss?"

You check your watch, "It's about lunch time so divide and conquer. Take out and feed half. The ones out and eating need their enclosures cleaned. I'll need some help sorting donations we just received."

"I'll help you," Yelena immediately spoke up, which caused Bucky and Kamala to look at her with raised brows. She shrugged, "What? I like being helpful."

"Well okay. Kamala, Bucky, you guys know where the food and cleaning supplies are, right?"

"We got it, Captain!" she salutes to you and nudges Bucky to follow.

You politely smile at him and point at the kitten on his shoulder, "I assume I can trust you with Alpine?"

He shoots you a grin, "Of course!" his smile fades and then he looks concerned. He rubs the back of his neck "but, uh, you good? I'm sorry but you look a little frazzled today."

You can't help but laugh a little at his statement and you rub your forehead, "Yeah. Today's already been a long day and I've been here for only three hours."

Bucky steps closer, "Anything I can do to help?"

You give him a soft smile and place a hand on his shoulder, "You being here helps." Realizing how it sounds you immediately retract your hand and clear your throat, "I-I mean, you guys, like, you, Kamala, and Yelena being here helps. Extra hands means more stuff gets done and what not."

He smirks at you, "Right. Got it, but, uh, if there's anything you need, you let me know? Or, uh, Yelena or Kamala. We're always here to help."

You nod and nudge him, "Thanks, Bucky. I appreciate it."

Yelena clears her throat and you two completely forgot she was still there. You and Bucky step away from each other and you turn to Yelena, "Uh, follow me to the back and we can start sorting everything."

The blonde nods and turns to Bucky as you start walking away, "Smooth, Barnes."

He rolls his eyes, "Shut it, Lena." He turns on his heel and goes to join Kamala in the cat room.

___________________

Yelena helps you sort out the donations of food, beds, towels, etc. in the storage room. There's a comfortable silence as you two work. There's occasional grunts and sighs as you lift things onto shelves. You two eventually pause for some water and that's when Yelena decides to ask you, "So I hear you're being haunted."

You snort, "Yeah, I guess you can say that." You sigh and place a bag of dog food onto a shelf. You sit on a bin and explain, "I bought a bracelet from an antique store and turns out, the spirit of Bucky's girlfriend from the forties is still attached to it. In order for her to pass on, I need to help her with her unfinished business. At first, I thought it was just for her to see Bucky one last time, but she switched things up on me," you say with a chuckle and you feel a flick to your ear. You pout, "Quit it, Dot."

Yelena's brows rise, "Do you see her or something?"

You shake your head, "She flicked my ear. And, uh, she kinda goes wherever I go as long as I wear the bracelet," you hold up the vintage jewelry.

Yelena nods, "That's beautiful. I can understand why you wanted to buy it."

"Yeah. Apparently Bucky purchased it and gave it to Dot before he left for the war. After Dot passed, I guess the bracelet got passed around and eventually ended up in the antique store I like going to."

"It's funny how big yet small the world can be. Who'd have thought that a bracelet can bring the Avengers into your life?" Yelena asks with a playful grin.

You laugh, "I for sure didn't expect meeting the Avengers or having a ghost companion when I bought it," you look at the bracelet on your wrist, "but, honestly, I don't regret it. It's made my life a little more interesting and it's brought more help to the shelter," you wink at the blonde Avenger and she snorts.

__________________

As Kamala is wiping down an enclosure, she speaks up, "Is it me or did Y/N look a little-"

"I know. I talked to her," Bucky says as he wipes down another one of the cat's enclosures.

Kamala stops to fully face him with a smile on her face, "You talked to her?"

He rolls his eyes at the young Avenger not stopping his task and wanting to face her, "It was a friendly gesture."

"What did you say?"

He shrugs, "Just that if she ever needs anything to just ask."

"Ask you?" Kamala asks with a wiggle of her eyebrows.

Again, he rolls his eyes, "Ask me, you, Yelena, any of us."

"Riiiight. Right. Got it." She doesn't say anything else after that and Bucky's relieved. He just wants to get his task done. He checks behind him to see if Alpine is still there. The white cat still eating on the floor along with the other few cats.

Two hours later it's around lunch time and you gather them all together in your office.

"So I ordered some pizza for us!"

"NICE!" Kamala cheers and immediately grabs a slice and moans in delight.

Bucky smiles in appreciation, "You didn't have to do this."

You shrug, "I was craving it and I'm sure the Avengers need to take a break and eat too right?"

You put out some foldable chairs out in your office and you settle in one. Bucky sits in the one near you and an invisible force pushes you closer to his side. You and everyone else in the room pause for a moment with wide eyes.

You're not sure what to say or do but then Bucky bursts out into a chuckle and everyone looks at him in surprise.

He shakes his head, "Dot's being mischievous still?"

"You have no idea," you say with a smirk before biting into your pizza.

[Earth 616 - Avenger Tower, 15 minutes before you enter the lab]

"So, if I heard correctly, you want to bring her back and let her join the team again?" Tony asked Steve.

A few minutes earlier, Captain America had ordered a meeting; almost all the Avengers were here except for Clint and Thor. The topic of this meeting? Wanda Maximoff. Since what happened at Westview, nobody could contact her, and it's an understatement to say they were shocked to learn she almost killed a teenager to find her nonexistent sons.

"It's rare, but I agree with Tony here. She almost kills a child." Sam said.

"Yes, but we need to be honest; she was the most powerful Avenger, and with Thor, who went with the Guardians, she's the most powerful human on this planet." Steve replied.

"Yeah, but I think you don't know what that mean. We enrolled her after all the Ultron because she wanted to change, but now, she is what we all feared in Sokovia. A powerful witch who killed a super soldier and another Captain Marvel in another universe, and she didn't use her own body. What do you think she can do to us if we upset her?" The billionaire said. And Natasha scuffed.

"You don't mind when it comes to Thor," she replied.

"Because Thor is an avenger who's almost born to protect the earth." he argued.

"She is an avenger too." the woman countered.

"She WAS." Tony spoke harshly. "She was still an avenger after what she did in Westview, but she stopped to be one of us when she did what she did to a fucking SIXTEEN-years-old girl."

"Listen, Tony, we all make mistakes before we become avengers." Bucky said this time.

"No, it's totally a different story, Bucky." The falcon interrupted his friend, "You, you did what you did before and after you decided to be good persons. But she did all the bad things after she became an Avenger." he explained. Honestly, it was understandable, they were afraid. The old Wanda, who tried her best to make up for her past with Hydra, the same who had a pretty romance was gone now. Vision, maybe—

"She did that because she lost all the people she loved," the Black Widow replied. "I'm not saying her actions are justified, but I dealt with death; I don't even know how you could bring me back. But what I'm saying is that I know why she did that." she said. "If it was Pepper who died this day, what could you do?" she asked.

"Don't play this game with me, Romanoff. I know how to deal with death." Tony replied.

"That's why you hated your father." Natasha said, and the billionaire started to be angry. He wanted to argue, but he was stopped by the IA.

"Boss, it seems there is an intruder in the lab." Friday announced.

"Can you tell me who they are?" he asked.

"The facial recognition doesn't work, but judging their clothes, it's Miss. Maximoff." she said, and everyone looked at each other totally shocked. Why would she come here? And precisely in the lab?

Without a word, they all made their way to the lab. Tony equipped his new suit; Steve grabbed his shield; Bucky, his knife; Natasha put her widow bites on her wrist before grabbing a gun with Sam and Banner, was ready for green code. The lab's door slid open without a sound. When they were ready to arrest whoever was in front of them, they heard you say proudly. "Oh yeah, I did it."

"Oh, and what exactly did you do?" Tony asked, and his voice surprised you. You quickly reassemble your widow bites before turning around and facing the Avenger.

"O der'mo (oh crap)," you mumbled. "Uh, wait, guys, I’m not here to fight or anything." you said, and their only answer was to hold up their weapons to you. And you thought it couldn't get worse; you saw red magic around your hand; your eyes turned red; but you were oblivious. Iron Man wanted to blast you, but your magic reacted in time, and a red whip sent him away against a wall. "Sorry," you said. But you knew they'd not accept your excuse.

Captain America threw you his shield, but you unconsciously stopped it and sent him back, thankfully, he didn't end up like Captain Carter, the shield just hit his head and fell on his buttocks. You didn't have to apologize this time; the Winter Soldier attacked you. He was too fast to use your magic without hurting yourself, so your body moved itself. All the training sessions with him and your mom in your universe seem to have taken control of your body, and you easily put him down.

You were just on your feet again, and Sam and Natasha started to shoot you. They definitely saw that you were not an ordinary teen. Your magic activated himself again and blocked the bullet, giving you a relief sight, but the bullet abruptly changed her direction to the two Avenger. "No! Stop!" you yelled, and the bullet just fell to the ground. Okay, there was definitely a problem with your magic, but you didn't have time to think about it before the Falcon rushed to you. It was not a surprise when you knocked him out beside Bucky, but what was surprising, at least for the Black Widow, was that you used her special move. She engaged the fight, but she was more careful than her teammate; she was winning when your magic decided to not listen to you again and a powerful red wave of chaos magic sent her crashing onto the opposite wall.

You watched what you did; did you just win against the Avenger? Wow, it was certainly something you would tell to—. Your body collided with a wall brutally, and you instantly passed out. You forget the Hulk.

------

[Earth 717 - Avenger Tower, two hours after your disappearance]

Heavy footsteps could be heard in the lab; they didn't need to ask Friday, they already knew who they were. The door opened to show an angry Natasha and a worried Wanda. "Where is Y/n, Morgan?" the Russian asked, but the teen didn't find the courage to face her. "America? Peter? Where is my baby girl?" she asked again, but this time she couldn't hide her cries.

"We lost her," America said lowly.

"What do you mean by saying you lost her?" Natasha said. "She's a teenager who wears a fucking scarlet suit; how can you lose her?" she added, obviously angry by the response of the older brunette girl. Wanda couldn't keep the tears from streaming down her cheeks.

"Hey, Natasha, please calm down; we will explain," Peter said softly, and your moms did.

After they explained what had happened on the mission, the Sokovian was officially falling apart, and the Russian was afraid but so angry. "How can you lose her in the multiverse?" she asked.

"The time machine exploded before I could close the portal, and I was sent to another universe too. When I came back, Morgan told me what happened, and I searched for her for an hour and a half, but I couldn't find her. Even if I focused on her. I was sent to some universe where there was a Y/n, but they were not the right." she admitted.

"We need to find her." Wanda said for the first time, she was unstable visibly very worry.

"Hey, it's okay, my love?" Natasha asked, but her wife shook her head.

"I can't feel her, Natasha." she said, and Natasha seemed to understand. "I don't know if my little angel is alright. I can't feel her." She cried harder. "I can't feel her," she repeated. "Why can't I feel her?" she asked her wife, but the redhead didn't have an answer. It was something Natasha didn't fully understand, since when you kicked Wanda's belly for the first time, a bond was created between you and your mama. You were always able to feel the other, even if sometimes you hated that it was reassuring you, when you developed your power at five years old. Your moms don't stop being avengers until you were ten, so during the five years you used this special bond to make sure she was alright every time she left.

"Don't worry, Auntie Wanda. I may have a solution to locate her wherever she is." Morgan announced, and everybody looked at her and seemed to wait for an explanation. "I made her new widow bites since she broke the previous. And I decided to add a tracker who worked in the entire multiverse. That's mean when she will use them, I will be alert." she explained, and it seemed to low your mom worries a little.

"Thanks, you Morgan," Natasha said, and the girl smiled,

"Of course, auntie Nat, she's my best friend too. I will do anything to find her," she assured them. "But for now we can't do anything more. I’ll call my dad and see if he can help me, and America will alert Strange." she said, turning to Peter. "Peter, you'll bring Khrono and the red Goblin to the cops." she said, and he nodded.

~~

"How is it even possible to lose her?" Tony asked her daughter, and Morgan sighed.

"Honestly, I don't know; it all happened too quickly." she said.

"And how are they?" he asked.

"Not good. Auntie Wanda didn't stop crying; auntie Natasha called Yelena and Kate to inform them. Wanda should call Pietro soon," she explained.

"And how are you?" he asked again.

"I don't know. I'm angry at myself for not being able to save her." she replied, and some tears started to fall on her cheeks. "But I need to be strong, because when Pietro comes he will bring Luna, and I will need all i have to not let her miss her cousin." she said, and she chuckled.

"We'll be here this night," he said, and she smiled, "I love you Morgan." He added,

"Me too, dad, more than 3000." She said, and they both chuckled.

"Yeah, more than 3,000," he repeated before hanging on.

"Who was it?" Pepper asked when she entered the bedroom.

"Morgan," Tony replied, and the blonde woman frowned her eyebrows.

"Is she okay?" she asked worriedly, but her husband nodded.

"Her yeah, but they lost Y/n on their last mission," he confessed, and Pepper almost fell apart, but Tony caught her before. "Hey, it's okay. We will leave in one hour, Morgan needs me to help her." he said, and the tall woman nodded.

~~

In Ohio, Melina was on the couch in front of a picture of you. She took it when you celebrated your seventh birthday there, you pleaded for an entire week to convince your mom, but it was worth it; it was one of the best birthdays you had. Your grandma was too focused on your face in the picture to hear Alexei came back until he sat beside her and wiped a tear with his thumb. She looked at him, and she cried. He didn't say anything; he just let her use his chest for support.

After a moment, she raised her head and looked at the frame and at him, "They lost her." she said, and immediately placed her again against his chest. She didn't see it, but she felt it, the Red Guardian was crying as well.

~~

"But how? I mean, we all know she's reckless and she's started a rebellious phase, but how can it be possible?" Pietro asked. He just came with his daughter, Luna, and with Yelena and Kate.

"You're sure you search everywhere?" the blond asked America. With all the time she lives here, her accent slowly fades like the twins'. The brunette just nodded, and everybody sighed. Kate sat next to Wanda and gently rubbed her back.

"It's okay, we will find her." she said. The brunette was always optimistic when it involved you, but for the first time she started to doubt.

'Morgan was in her lab, she was working on the last details for your new widow bite, when her phone rang.

"Miss. Stark, Y/n try to call you." Friday informed her, and the teen picked up the phone.

"Hey, Y/n/n, are you okay?" she asked, but you didn't reply; you just sobbed, and she immediately worried. "Y/n. What's happening?" she asked, more anxious this time.

"We fought again," you replied, and she sighed. "Can I sleep in the tower tonight?" you asked shyly.

"Yeah, of course. You know you don't have to ask; the door is always open." she replied.

"Thanks, Morgan." you said quietly.

"Always." she said, and after that she hung on. You were in front of the tower in less than ten minutes, and she greeted you with a tight hug while you sobbed against her chest. "It's really that bad?" she asked, and you nodded. She led you to the kitchen when you told her everything.

"I don't deserve them." you concluded your monologue.

"Don't say that you were just angry. I say awful things to my dad when I'm angry too." she reassured you.

"Yeah, but you never said that he didn't deserve to be a dad," you said, and you chocked with saliva at the memory of your mom's face when you said that. "I really hurt them this time. Most of anything or anyone. I'm sure they started to miss their time with the Red Room and Hydra when they didn't have to raise a girl like me." you added. Morgan stood up to hug you.

"Don't say that. We both know you don't mean it." she whispered to calm you.

"And if I mean it," you said. She tried to protest, but you stopped her. "You should see their faces. I'm a bad daughter." you added and started to cry again.

"Shh... Just go take a shower and sleep, and we will talk about it tomorrow," she said, and you nodded. You left the kitchen, and Morgan just stared at you. She started to think about a plan to cheer you up a little.'

Knocks on her door bring her back into reality. "Hey sweetheart are you alright?" Pepper looked visibly concerned.

Your best friend cleaned up the tears that fell because of the memory, "Yeah, don't worry, mom. It's just that... all this stuff, I don't know what to do." she admitted, and the tall woman received the message and hugged her.

"You'll find a way to bring her back like you always have since the last three years." her mother whispered in her ear. "I'll stay with Wanda; your dad should be here soon," the blonde woman informed her, and she started to leave but was stopped by the voice of the teen.

"Mom?" Morgan called her, and Pepper looked at her, "I love you." she said, and her mom smiled.

"I love you too."

[Earth 616 - Avenger Tower, the next morning]

What's left of the Avengers was in the kitchen, where there was a tense silence. They were all reflecting on the previous night, when everything had happened so quickly. Some footsteps let them hear them and enter the room; it was Doctor Cho. "I finished patching up her wounds; I don't know how she could fight when she was stabbed in the abdomen. She's young but pretty strong." she said, and she picked something up from her pocket. "I don't know if you want this, but I think we shouldn't throw it." she added, and let the widow bite on the table. "I changed her clothes, and we moved her into the special room like you wanted. I'll leave, but I should be here tomorrow to check her injuries." she informed them and left.

All eyes were now on the weapon on the table. Only one question was on their minds: who are you? They exchanged looks before looked at the redhead. "So, nobody wants to talk about it?" Sam broke the silence.

"What do you want to talk about? That a mysterious girl found a way to enter the tower without alerting Friday? Or the fact that she wore the same clothes as Wanda? Or the fact that she has the widow's special weapon?" Tony asked sarcastically.

"And if we talk about the fact, she easily laid down five Avengers?" Bruce said, and everyone glared at him. "What? If I wasn't here, she would escape." he added.

"You knocked out a poor little girl." Bucky said.

"A girl who can knock out two super soldiers is not 'a poor little girl'." The big man said.

"Talking about it." Steve said, and everybody looked at him. "Do you know her, Natasha?" he asked, and all the men looked at her.

"Yeah, she fought like a widow," Sam added.

"No, she didn't fight like a widow." Natasha said, and they were confused. "She just fights like me," she added.

Bucky wanted to talk, but Friday cut him off. "Mr. Stark, Doctor Strange is here." she announced, and everyone was confused. Why would he come here suddenly. Tony didn't have the time to ask the IA why he was here before the sorcerer appeared in the room. But he was not alone; there was a boy in a blue and red costume and a girl with a jean vest; they knew the girl but not the boy.

"So, where is she, Spider-Man?" Strange asked without even acknowledging the other adults.

"We're happy to see you too, mister magician," the billionaire said. And, Strange finally noticed everyone.

"Nice to see you alive, Stark, but I thought Miss Romanoff was... you know?" he said, and Natasha just sighed.

"And who are they?" Steve asked while pointing at the two teens.

"I’m Peter—uh, I'm Spider-Man," Peter said.

"Oh, the little spider boy who plays the hero in New York." Sam said, and the other avengers looked at him. "What? You don't watch the TV." he added, and the boy nodded shyly

"And you?" Bucky asked the brunette girl.

"I'm America Chavez." she replied.

"Okay, but what are you doing here?" the blonde super soldier asked.

"The boy said someone wanted to talk to me, and this person should be here." Stephen explained.

"So, the little teen who broke into my tower and knocked out the two super soldiers was yours?" Tony asked, but the sorcerer frown his eyebrows.

"What, don’t you know her?" Natasha asked, and he shook his head.

"We didn't tell me her name, but if she's here, I assumed she was a new recruit." he replied.

Sam wanted to talk, but the IA spoke again. "Avengers, the mysterious girl is awake," she informed them. They didn't waste any time and walked to where you were. For everyone, you just looked lost in this room alone, but for Steve, something seemed familiar.

You looked at the group and noticed Strange, "Hey doc." You greeted him, and before he could reply, you noticed America, well, a young America. "Oh, I didn’t see that coming." you said, and the ones who were in Sokovia looked at you, shocked by your words. "O naiba, încep să vorbesc ca unchiul Pietro [Oh crap, I start to talk like Uncle Pietro]." you mumbled to yourself.

"What did you say?" Steve asked, and you looked at him. "What did you say before you spoke in another language?" he repeated.

"Oh that? Oh, it's nothing, don't worry. I say that sometimes when something happens. Mama says it's a family thing." you said, and you lowered your head at the memory of your mama.

Tony cleared his throat and brought you into reality. "I think we all want to know who are you and what you want." he said.

Captain Marvel: Final Part

Pairing: Carol Danvers x Female!Reader

Word Count: ~1.2k

Warnings: canon violence and angst

Author’s Note: For the sake of the rewrite, Howard and Maria Stark dies on December 16, 1997 instead of 1991. Tony is 23 when they die.

x

With the Skrulls now saved from the Kree, at least for right now, you and Carol met Maria and Fury back at Maria's house for a last-dinner kind of thing. Most of the Skrulls decided to go back to Mar-Vell's lab to prepare to move again while Talos, Soren, and their child join you back at Maria's house. She did a really good job flying the plane to avoid whatever Kree was on her ass, and Fury won't let her forget it.

"That's some nifty flying you did out there. SHIELD could always use a good pilot like you."

"I'll consider it, as long as you don't call my flying nifty again."

Fury's eye is all scratched that you assume came from Goose.

"How's your eye?" you question the agent.

"Getting better every second. I'll be fine."

"Is it true that Goose scratched your eye?"

"I will neither deny nor confirm the details of that story."

"She did. I saw it happen," Maria confesses, making you cackle.

"Just so I'm clear, you were Soh-Larr and the SHIELD agent?" Carol asks Talos.

"Yeah, he tied my boss up and stole his identity," Fury interjects, ignoring your teasing remarks about how a cat got the better of him.

"I borrowed his likeness. I'm no thief."

"It's a little like a thief," Soren shrugs.

"Whose side are you on?"

"You're good to go here until you recover, but you and your family will need a new look."

"I could go back to being your boss."

"Please don't."

"Come on. I love sporting his beautiful blue eyes."

"I'll help you find a home and finish what Mar-Vell started," Carol offers.

You open your mouth to agree but nothing comes out of it. First, you think about Bucky and Steve and how you left this planet to get away from the pain it caused you, but then you think about how you promised yourself that this would be your new home away from Xenia and Markus. You fled once, you can't do this to Earth again. It needs protecting, and who will protect it if you leave?

"They can stay here with us, can't they, Mom?" Monica asks from the stairs where she and Talos' daughter are.

"They won't be safe here, baby. Auntie Carol is right. They need their own home."

"I'll be back before you know it," she says.

"Excuse me," you whisper.

You grab your plate of unfinished food and walk into the kitchen to do the dishes. Carol and Fury look at each other before getting up and doing the same. Leaving Carol behind and staying on Earth hurts differently than when you lost Bucky. Bucky died and you didn't have a choice but to move on with your life. You're deciding to leave even though it hurts you to do so.

"Are you okay?" Carol asks.

"Yeah."

"Let me help you with that," Fury offers and takes the wet dishes to dry.

He notices dry tears on your cheeks and gestures to Carol to talk to you.

"We beat the Kree and Ronan. What's wrong?"

"I don't know if I can go with you when you leave," you whisper.

This is a conversation to have privately so she puts it on the back burner for now. She rubs your back in a comforting way and takes out the pager that she took from Fury. She's modified it a bit so that he can always contact her whenever she may be.

"Here, there is something I want you to have. Plus, I need you to keep the Tesseract hidden here on Earth." She hands him the pager. "I upgraded it. The range should be a couple of galaxies, at least. For emergencies only."

"What? Do you think I'm gonna crank call you?"

"For emergencies only. From the looks of it, you'll have Y/N in case something goes wrong."

"Well, if you're ever passing back through this galaxy, be sure to give a brother a shout," he says. "I can finish up here. You two can take off."

"Come on."

Carol takes you outside to have a private conversation with you. She knows what you're going to say but lets you say it anyways.

"As much as I want to go with you, I can't leave Earth. The universe needs you, Carol but Earth needs me. The Tesseract is here, so someone is going to come for it sooner or later. She'll need someone to protect it."

"I agree."

"I'd be too selfish if I kept you from everyone else," you sigh sadly, "but I don't want to leave you. I love you."

"I love you, too. I'm not asking you to choose but I do have to leave. I can't stay on this planet knowing wars are going on out there that I can help fight."

"I know."

She pulls you in for a hug and allows you to cry on her shoulder for however long you need. 

"This doesn't change anything between us. I want you to live your life. I don't know when I'll be back, but I don't want you to be lonely. I want you to meet someone, fall in love, and live your life. You'll always have a special place in my heart."

"So will you," you sniffle and pull away from her.

"If we are meant to be, we'll find our way back to each other. I can guarantee that."

"I should go, then. I wish you the best of luck, my love."

"Same here."

You kiss her one last time knowing this will be the last in a while. If you stay any longer, you're going to cry so you pull away from her and take off toad the sky. With no viable threat over your life, you can pick a place and settle down. You haven't had a home for at least fifty years.

New York has too many painful memories and London reminds you of Bucky. When you first came to Earth with Carol, you landed in Northern California. The beaches there are beautiful so maybe living in that state won't be such a bad thing. You can get a place along the beach and enjoy your life by yourself.

Malibu is nice this time of year, and you settle in quicker than you thought you were. You have a bit of money saved from the 40s that you never got to spend, so you use it to buy yourself a house on the beach. The town of Malibu is compact and busy but you don't mind being surrounded by this many people. It gives you an opportunity to learn about humans from what you missed over the years.

It takes a week after moving in to explore the town, so you're walking along the coast when you pass by a tall man sporting white hair and a mustache and a shorter woman with blonde hair.

"Y/N?" 

You stop and face the couple with a confused look on your face.

"Yes. Do I know you?"

"It's me. Howard Stark."

"Howard? Wow, you've grown."

"You stayed exactly the same."

Hearing him say this makes you a bit sad knowing you'll probably never grow old. You'll always be the same age as you were when you first injected Markus' serum.

"Well, you know..."

"Wait, I thought you died. I thought you and Steve died when the plane went down. We searched for you two for months after the wreck."

"Steve died. I left Earth for fifty years."

"She's the one you were talking about?" Howard's wife says. "She's the Avatar?"

"That's me," you shrug.

"What are you doing here?"

"I bought a place on the beach. I spent the last sixty years fighting in wars I shouldn't have been fighting in. I figured what harm will it do if I take a few years to myself. What have you been up to?"

"I'm retired now. I have a few billion dollars to my name. I got married and had a son. Would you like to meet him?"

"Of course."

Howard and his wife, Maria, take you back to their house where their young adult son is.

"Tony? Come down here. There's someone I want you to meet." Tony comes down the stairs with a bored expression on his face. "Tony, this is Y/N."

Tony's heard the stories his father used to tell about a righteous man with super strength and a woman who can control the elements. He didn't think those stories were true until he sees you. There are very few pictures of Howard back in the day, but some of them contain you and Steve.

"Is this the same Y/N that you worked with back then? The one with Steve?"

If you're going to be in Tony's life, then he has a right to know exactly who you are.

"Yes, it is." You stick your hand out for him to shake, and you give him a polite smile. "It's very nice to meet you, Tony."

“Y/N, please..." Steve begged, breaking the silence that reigned in the room and trying to move a little to calm down.

“What did you call me, and what did you say?" You turned to look; he knew the rules; he shouldn't defy you.

“N-nothing, sorry, mistress." Steve apologized and looked down a little. There was nothing he could do to make the feeling of wanting more go away; it was up to you.

You smiled and looked down. You knew what he wanted and needed, but you also loved it when he begged. On missions, he was the boss and had control of everything, but in sheets, it was the other way around, so he had to do whatever you said.

You got on top of him and ran your hand over his bare chest, then moved to his ear.

“I forbid you to make any noise; otherwise, I will have to punish you," you whispered.

“Yes, mistress," he answered, a little embarrassed but very excited.

“Good," you smiled. You took his dick and began to move it slowly, locking and releasing your hand several times.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..." Steve moaned, closing his eyes.

“I want you to be quiet and shut up," you ordered him, even though you were sure he would make some noise again. For every noise, I will punish you," you whispered again. You had been doing it for a while, but he couldn't do anything if you didn't want him to make noise; he couldn't do more than moan; he couldn't touch you either; you were really torturing him.

“Yes, mistress! “he nodded in agreement, a little chagrined.

Steve closed his eyes, as he did at the beginning, and breathed deeply, even though he wanted to make some noise. You didn't know if that would bring him out of his trance, but he should stay that way for a few minutes.

A few seconds passed, and he began to pant very loudly as if he were running.

Your hands began to move a little faster, although it was not much, but enough to excite him to the point that he began to beg. You knew it would not take him long to start doing it.

“Mmmm... “ Steve grunted as he put one of his hands on your thigh.

“Hey, I didn't give you permission to touch me," you scolded him, giving him a little push on his chest.

“I'm sorry, mistress," he apologized again.

“Okay, it's okay," you smiled, running your hands over his chest again.

“Uhmmm... uhmmm," he said, moving his hips.

“What did I tell you?"

“Yes, mistress, I'm sorry," he answered again. He was exhausted, he was hyperventilating, he was... he needed more, and you started to move on top of him. “Please."

“Whatever you say," you interrupted your movements, dropped your head a little, and put your forehead together with his.

“Mistress, I..." He started to speak; he needed to be inside you, but you silenced him.

“You are mine and mine alone!" You exclaimed, you put one hand on his face and the other you held, and you lifted your head a little and kissed him. You wanted to feel it. Tell me that you love me, and I will give you what you want, will you?" You asked, almost begging.

“I LOVE YOU!" Steve screamed; he couldn't take it anymore.

You settled in, and finally, you both got what you wanted.

SPOILERS!!!!!

SPOILERS!!!!!

SPOILERS!!!!!

SPOILERS!!!!!

I wanna talk about this show (btw pls watch it, it's so fucking good, the characters are peak and the animation is fucking amazing!):

Episode 1:

-I can't believe they foreshadowed the final boss with fucking Sonic trivia

-Ngl if I asked out a girl and she didn't know anything about neither Sonic or X-Men, I'm dipping the first chance I get

-I was wondering why Scott had the star t-shirt at the beginning, since he only got that at the finale battle with Gideon, to signify his love for Ramona, but with the added context it's not supposed to matter, it's there because it's his most recognizable look

-Matthew's entrance doesn't have the same umph as the movie's. His actor really went all out in that scene, XD

-Sucks that Scott wasn't very involved in this, since he is the title character, but I still loved everything about this. Hope we get to see his arc in the next season

Episode 2:

-Why is Ramona dyeing her hair so damn satisfying?

-Edit: The fact that STEPHEN of all people was the one that gave Scott a euology and was the only one that actually gave a damn XD

And it's pretty sweet that he would have been ok to find out if they sucked, if they found out they sucked together

-"Mommy!" yeah

-I can fucking believe she actually sang that fucking song XD

-Brie Larston is so talented; if I didn't already know she played Envy, I honestly could not tell that was her, but then again I only know her as Captain Marvel, where she has a deeper and much cooler voice

-So, if in the Scott Pilgrim world people just re-spawn at home after being defeated, does that mean that there no one can be murdered or manslaughtered? And if so, how do people actually get a "permanent game over"? Does everyone just die of old age? Also if people bury the coins dropped after someone dies, would that make grave-robbing the most common crime in the world?

-The fact that all Matthew needed to defeat Gideon was confidence is actually very inspiring. The probable reason why he's so extra (besides being a theater kid) is because Ramona dumped him, which really hurt his self-esteem. And while it's kinda sad and pathetic to let a middle school break-up bring down your self-worth, that doesn't mean it didn't suck for Matthew; and after realizing that Ramona wouldn't take him back just because he beat Scott, he finally got a reality check and decided that their goal was pointless, so he moved on from Ramona and decided to make something out of himself, and using the confidence he got from "beating" Scott, he unleashed his true power and was able to defeat Gideon, take his company, and then became successful Broadway actor

-"Et tu, eat me." Roxie is a fucking queen

Episode 3:

-Hey, I didn't asked to be fucking attacked about my writting process, Scott Pilgrim!

-Knives getting more character development besides being obsessed with Scott is everything I didn't know I ever wanted

-I feel you Stephen, I do 😞

-Omg I ship Knives and Kim so much!

-Since Roxie predates Toga, then should be saying that Toga gives off Roxie vibes?

-I'm in lesbians with all of them

-Roxie is so fucking horny lol. Tho I can't blame her, I would go rent to that video store everyday to talk to Kim or Hollie... and immediately choke and explode before a word comes out my mouth

-Also, fun fact: Hollie looks like a milf, but she's actually 26!

-Nice of that lady to apologize to Robot-01. He doesn't deserve all the mistreatment he gets, he's a good boi

Episode 4:

-Holy fuck this animation

-Bro, what is that song? XD

-'Edgar Wrong' XD XD XD

-Young Neil is a fucking treasure

💚 :3

-Straight Wallace is an anomaly that should not be allowed to exist

-Notorious heterosexual

-People are 100% saying some bullshit like, Lucas is only going out with her because he's secretly a pedo is only likes her because she's PLAYING a 17-year-old and that feeds his fetish

-Already saw a meme of the "My God!" clip, keep those coming people!

-Holy fuck this animation!!

-The paparazzi looking like cockroaches, nice

-I feel really bad for Lucas, he's actually a nice guy

-And then he fucking yeets a kid and steals his skateboard XD

-"Watch out guys, Vegan comin' through!"

Episode 5:

-I feel a little bad for Todd, but it's also so satisfying seeing this jackass, who thinks he can get away with anything because he's a rock star, get wrecked

-Weird the Vegan Police didn't show up to take away his powers tho; maybe they were informed of the situation and decided to give him a pass this time.

I really hope they expand on the whole concept of being Vegan in season 2

-Edit:

Envy: Hey, ask them what it feels like to always get his sloppy seconds?

Ramona: How does it feel-?

-I love how they expanded on the Stephen & Knives friendship :3

-I did not recognize Simon Pegg and Nick Frost until the end where they had the cornettos XD

Episode 6:

-Honestly, surprised they didn't bring up that Julie had a crush on Scott, and that's why she's always a bitch to him, specially because this is an anime, they can actually call her a tsundere!

And while we're on that, anyone think it's weird that nearly single girl in the comic had or still has a crush on Scott? Like, seriously? This asshole, really? And you just know that if it was a manga made in Japan, Stacie would have a goddamn bro-con complex with him

-Idk how I feel about them just glossing over Gideon just being an absolute monster; like yeah, Ramona was a bitch with most of her relationships and she does tend to run away from her problems, but Gideon was a manipulative, ego-centric, abusive piece of shit. I mean, the guy kept his 6 ex-girlfriends frozen in stasis for appearences or for whatever else he wanted, and he wanted to do the same to Ramona. I like him and Julie being assholes together, but seriously, I hope they touch on that in season 2

-Dude fuck those kids, I would give Gordon so much respect for actually trying that; I wish I had a third of his confidence

-I never knew I needed to see Captain America and The Spot being goofy friends until now

-I headcanon that one of the reasons why they had Matthew take over Gideon's company was so they could finally give him a job XD, tho it was always insinuated that he was in the army, because of the Private Rank patch on his jacket, which they removed in this version and that really sucka because I liked that little detail; it was also another reference to him being the 1st Evil Ex, because Private is the 1st rank in the military

-At least Ramona does recognize that what she did was messed up, even if the Twins were also being dicks, she should have just called them both out and be done with them

-Those fucking Vegan Robots man, I swear to God

Episode 7:

-When Old Scott spoke, I thought it was Ben Schwartz at first lol

-I love how the world isn't the cliché "terrible post apocalyptic world caused by something that happened to the main character", it just looks really crappy, which... yeah, accurate; the look everyone has just seems to be the current fad, they just embraced the post-apocalyptic looking world they live in.

Also that tech is not that advanced, they have hover vehicles and board, and holo-phones, that does seem like they kind of tech we could have in a few decades, maybe

-The fucking Virtual Boy XD XD XD, surprised Scott's eyes weren't on fire after staring into that thing

-Old Wallace is a fucking GILF

-That lucky motherfucker! He probably got the Switch for free!! 😬😬😬

-Nice Death Stranding reference

-Ramona changing her hair color every week was symbolic of her always running away from her problems, but I like that she keeps doing it in the future, just because she likes it

-Of course Future Ramona has fucking Back To The Future roller blades XD

-Both Ramonas are the same fucking size XD

-At first it felt that they just speedran Scott and Knives, but then again Scott probably read a little of Old Young Neil's auto-biography and figured things out. And since Knives wasn't as obsessed with Scott at this point it makes sense that she'd take this a lot better, Kim and Stephen probably helped her out too

-But at least she catharsis by seeing Scott and Ramona not being able to kiss XD

-Oh! And I just realized that she didn't waste her first kiss on Scott! 😃

Good for her!!

Episode 8:

-I think it's dumb they gave Knives her look from the comics without any reason. She only changed her look to look more appealing to Scott in the comics, and in the epilogue she's back to her normal look, like, at least have people mention the look and her saying that she's trying something new

Edit: I rewatched the whole thing and I just realized that Even Older Scott punched the highlights out of Knives' hair XD

-It's basically a meme at this point, but pls have the Katayanagi Twins do something! They had such a bigger role in the comics. At least I wanted to see their combo moves animated!

It's nice that the Exes are actually cheering for them to kiss, or maybe they're just teasing because they can't; either way it's nice

-Even Older Scott is Ramona's 8th evil ex. He debuts in the 8th episode and has studied the powers of all the other 7 Evil Exes along with his own, which adds up to 8.

Sucks he didn't actually use their powers, I would have loved it if he used Vegan Powers combined with mystical powers, maybe instead of Demon Hipster Chicks he summons little Nega Scotts, he has stronger skateboard tricks than Lucas, he some robot arms that can shoot lasers and can help him do the Twins' combo moves, but doubled

-Edit: The fact that Knives went for Ramona instead of Scott. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!!!

-Even Older (Nega) Scott is just Evil Ryu and I fucking love it!!

-Even Older Scott's color scheme not only signifyes just how jaded and lost he's become, but also that Nega Scott has completely taken him over is just *chef's kiss*

-Edit: Todd still has the Wallace tattoo XD also his was my favorite attack, he just teleports and slams down, simple, but awesome

Also Even Older Scott defeated him with a headbutt

-Edit: It would've been funny if he had also punched Roxie in the boob again

-Every future character has "Old" in their name, but Ramona is just "Future Ramona", she will cut you if you call her old. Real missed opportunity to not call the oldest Ramona "Future Future Ramona".

"MILF" and "GILF Ramona" also would have been acceptable

-Sex Bob-Bomb became the new Crash and the Boys, except that instead of having an 8-year-old, they have a 17-year-old.

And Scott now has his actual girlfriend watching him perform

-Looks like Ramona actually enjoyed the stunt double gig. Good for her, tho honestly, she should have stuck with Netflix, Idk why, but I feel like they're gonna blow up at somepoint

-I like the idea of Lucas x Kim, but I would still prefer Knives x Kim, and my personal made-up ship: Lucas x Stacie. I just love big bois with cute smol gfs

-At first, it didn't make sense to see Todd and Roxie hanging out, but then I realized that just like Roxie, Todd was hurt by someone who treated their relationship like an un-important after-thought, a phase; and just broke it up like it was nothing, without any consideration for the other's feelings. And now that Roxie got closure with Ramona she's helping him to move on from this in a way healthier way than she did. (That and they're both gay) That is so fucking wholesome, I need to see them being friends in season 2 pls!! Also sucks she didn't interact much with Matthew, because Satya Bhabha said that he thinks Matthew and Roxie would be friends.

Also this was kinda foreshadowed in episode 2, at the end of Matthew and Gideon's fight, where she mentions wanting to get Vegan Powers after seeing how convinient they are. I need Half-Ninja, Vegan, Lesbian, now!!!!

-Wallace: Holy shit! True love does exist!?

-Ramona is finally gonna stop running away, so she keeps most of her hair as her natural color with a little green at the end to not forget her past and where she came from

-Get wait to see what Goose's game, but it must be in pretty early development, probably untitled even

SEASON 2 PLSSSSSS!!!!

[datusaguy]

Here’s a bunch of cool Easter eggs/potential references I’ve noticed with Karai’s sprites in Shredder’s Revenge. I’ve already done a color reference post for Karai though (which you can read here), so I won’t go over that very much in this post.

Firstly, her electrocution animation, 2nd pallet option and “flying attack” animations all seem like references to her time as Shredder in various media. As seen below, she displays a Shredder helmet and Foot Clan symbol when her bones light up. Then as I mentioned in my “Karai color references” post, her 2nd pallet is similar to colored Mirage depictions of the Shredder.

For her flying attack, she uses claws which I think she’s generally only seen with when wearing Shredder’s armor. Additionally, I think it might be a reference to X-Men’s Wolverine, most likely in one of the Marvel Vs Capcom games. I couldn’t find a specific move he has though quite like this though.

Like her flying attack, I think this is 2 references. 1st is that I’m pretty sure she did specifically fight with a chain in the 2003 show quite a bit and I’m not sure she did much (if at all in other versions). 2nd, it reminds me a lot of Scorpion’s “Get Over Here” from various Mortal Kombat games. It’s also the only Charged Attack that pulls in opponents.

While I’m not sure about any Karai-specific references for her “Super Flying Attack,” it does seem similar to Magneto’s Magnetic Shockwave in Marvel vs Capcpm 3.

Her standard attack string (“combo attack”) does look similar to moves both Ryu and Ken have done, although I’m not sure if either of them have all the attacks in one game (feeling like it may be MvC3 Ryu, but idk). Captain Falcon does seem like he has practically all the attack, even though realistically I don’t think you’d ever combo them all the way Karai does. Also, the string seems generic enough to probably look closely to multiple other fighting game characters.

Next are all the TMNT Tournament Fighters references. As mentioned in my Color References post, Karai has 3 (maybe 4) colors from the Genesis and SNES. In terms of her animations however, I think most (if not all), of them are for her SNES appearance.

As to what references there are, firstly I do want to mention her “neutral” stance is practically the same in this game and SNES TF. I can’t put anymore pictures in the post since I’m already at 30 pictures/gifs for the post and don’t think I can put anymore in, but you can see it in a lot of my gifs for both games.

Second is her dash attack which resemble her godly walk animation. It doesn’t have a hitbox in TF, but it’s also incredibly fast.

Third is her “Fling Slam” which ends off similar to her “Air Breaker” attack in TF. There may be a different command grab it’s specifically referencing, but I’m not sure, especially when there’s a plethora of command grabs in fighting games (off the top of my head though, it does end similar to a Tager grab from BlazBlue).

Fourth is her Dive Attack which looks similar to a dive kick she has in TF. It may not send her full screen, be as insanely fast nor cover up so much of the screen, but it’s still cool.

Fifth is TF’s Dark Thunder. Both her taunt and standard super remind me of Dark Thunder, the ladder especially since she can literally say “Dark Thunder” sometimes when she does it.

Last of the TF references for now is her “Super Flying Attack” which is similar to both Lightning Fists and one of her air normals.

As a side note, the TF air normal specifically is so incredibly good lol. She is a boss character in that game and her moveset in general is nuts so I get why it’s like that, but I love it. I do the air normal 3 times in the gif and I think it literally true string-ed into itself for the last 2.

This isn’t the rest of her animations, but I feel like they’re probably references as well. I do want to acknowledge Karai has used a sword multiple times before in multiple versions, but I don’t know more specifics than that.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the post. Feel free to mention any extra info you might pick up on in the comments or reblogs and I could try to add it to my main post. I probably won’t do this for other characters since there’s so many references I wouldn’t pick up on, but who knows~. If you wanna see some other references, here’s a link to all of my color references posts.

(Also added this picture here cuz she looks so cool).

In case you need a good laugh ( Marvel Fic rec)

"Had a terrible day? Your boss yelled at you, your colleagues finished the coffee and didn’t bother to make more? Then, on your way home, you step in dog poop that someone didn't clean up. To top it off, it starts pouring rain and you get home soaked and freezing.

But hey, don't let a crappy day end that way! Snuggle up in bed, pull the duvet over your head, and head to AO3 for some hilarious fics. Just because the day was awful doesn’t mean you can’t end it with a good laugh."

Here are my top funny marvel fics:

I love this Fic so, so much. It's light, fluffy with a charming Bucky Barnes and a happy Steve. The friendship between Nat and Bucky is so beautifully described here! And of course one of my favorite marvel w/w ship Nat and Maria.

Steve had gone fully red-faced with pedantic altar-boy fury. “Did your computer forget how to Google translate?” he bellowed, sticking his head up and over. Bucky yanked him down again. “What are you even trying to say?”

Bucky tried to shake the sparkles off the grenade he had been planning on lobbing over the divider. “It sounded like Latin to me,” he said reasonably, pursing his lips and frowning at the explosive. It dripped a sparkle, and a puff of purple smoke curled up where it hit the concrete.

“That’s because you spent Sunday school flirting with Sarah Cunningham,” Steve accused, bobbing back up to throw his shield and ducking back down to dodge a shining ball of blue light. “You wouldn’t know Latin if it came up and kissed you on your ugly mug.”

“I’d sure know it if Sarah Cunningham did, though.” Bucky grinned, struck by the memory. “That gal really knew what she was doing.”

Main Ship: James “Bucky” Barnes/Steve Rogers

AggressiveWhenStartled writes such good, funny stories, check out their profile, you won't be disappointed. If you like bickering Stucky then this is the fic for you, so funny and there is also such a nice podfic (As always from Quietnight)

If you like the fic, there is also a Sequal to the story and it's just as funny, if not funnier.

“Nat, be honest, he was going for the Full Monty.” Says Clint.

“I’m pretty sure we interrupted him in the middle of giving ‘emergency CPR’,” Tony agrees, “Or the stage after emergency CPR. Emergency Dick? Is that a thing?”

“That’s not a thing,” Natasha and Clint reply.)

“I know I spent a while frozen in the arctic,” Steve said as he slowly reshut the driver’s side door and stepped back to take in the view. “So I guess I haven’t had a chance to see everything here in the future. But I was not expecting a Bavarian-themed Taco Bell with the KFC guy standing out front wearing lederhosen.”

I have to laugh so hard every time I read/hear the story. The whole side story with Bucky constantly calling Steve and annoying him. The beginnings of the poly relationship between Sam/Bucky/Steve. Love every minute of it.

Hey Three things

I love that you do older Star Wars comic dubs! I only have these comics in digital because no matter how hard I look I can’t find the paper comics. I’ve had people from three separate comic book stores say that Star Wars and marvel fans refuse to part with their comics so that’s why 😂

Dude the voice dubs you do are great! I listened to Sings dub first that’s how I found your channel the one with Torgo Tahn and the anzati school

I just watched the Quinlan Vos one with Aayla also with Volfe Karkoo! Great voice acting! From a great cast. Now this is just me putting my opinion, I still loved what you did. However Volfe Karkko threw me off. Because knowing that anzati have spent their lives tailoring themselves for the hunt I mean they have minor shape shifting abilities to change facial features and eye color for crying out loud which is cool 😂 I’ve just always imagined Volfe with being so old that he’s tailored his voice and it being anything other than smooth, almost like the deceiving calm before the storm messed with me. I’ve always thought like Lion King original Scars voice, Loki, or Bram stokers Dracula without the accent. But like I said even with the voice throwing me off it was great, I could tell the work and dedication you and the other voice actors put in and even if Volfe’s voice didn’t line up with what I thought the voice actor still did an amazing job and I hope you all are proud of your work!😄 I hope my input wasn’t offensive and if it was I really do apologize 😓

Hello, thank you for the message! I'm so glad you enjoy the hard work of my team and I!

Depending on what language you want to read the comics in, there might be reprints availible to you. If you want them in english, most of the comics I dub can be found in the "Star Wars Legends Epic Collection" by Marvel.

The one with Aurra Sing and her days in the Anzati School is one I'm especially proud of because I did compose a whole new soundtrack for that one. I've also been hired to compose new music for a different Star Wars project recently, and I intend to reuse that one for my dubs as well.

It's alright you disagree with me on Volfe's voice, and you're entitled to your own headcanon as to what he should sound like. Nontheless, his voice is still one of my favourite parts of the dub and it might still make for an interesting discussion to explain how he ended up with the voice he has now.

As I haven't watched either the Lion King, Brian Stoker's Dracula or anything from the MCU, I am afraid I might not entirely understand your imagination for how he should sound, but if you are saying he should have a calmer and more harmless voice, I respectfully disagre. That sort of voice is what I gave the villians who make more of a secret about their evil intents, such as the Gran Protectorate, or villians who are more outwardly charismatic such as Iaco Stark (who hasn't appeared yet but all of his dialogue has been recorded already).

When it comes to villiany, Volfe Karkko does not beat around the bush, he's an ancient vampiristic alien with a lightsaber, the ability to shoot lightning and a thirst for brains. He's pure evil and I wanted him to have a voice that makes him as terrifying as he needs to be.

Now, one of my favourite voiceover jobs that I did for someone else was in 2017 when I joined the cast of the YouTube webseries known as Dragon Ball Absalon. There, I had the incredible honor of voicing alongside an actor named Roy Bunales, who performed the voice of my character's boss; Captain Horenzo, and I was immediately amazed by the deep, commanding presence his voice brought to his character. In other words, this is a voice actor I've been a fan of even before I did comic dubs.

So you can imagine my exitement when Roy did agree to join the cast of my comic dub series! Originally I wanted him to play Even Piell, but he fell ill and wasn't able to record when we went around to do Emissaries to Malastare. His audition lines can still be heard here, though:

Thankfully, he had recovered from his ailment by the time Darkness rolled around, and I thought, and still do, that he and the role of Volfe Karkko were a match made in heaven. As inspiration for Karkko's performance, I sent him this video of the Lieutenant in Fallout, originally performed by the late Tony Jay, who is another voice actor who gave the exact sort of voice I pictured Karkko having.

I don't know if any of this will change your perception of Karkko's voice in the Darkness dub, but it still was fun for me to go over, and I hope you enjoyed learning about it. Your input wasn't offensive at all, in fact, strongly I appreciate it, and I'm happy to learn about different viewpoints in such great detail.

Feel free to message me again anytime!

Listen to 'Without You' -by RIDERS

xxxvi: Settling Scores

Kraven had to be sedated before they could take him away. Fury and Agent Ross showed up to complete the task, now that Harley was awake, he'd been able to call for backup.

"What happened?" Cat scowled as she and Kurt mended the few bruises and scratches he had. "This was unlike you, Harley, didn't you say you took precautions?"

"I did! But he was crazy fast, Cat. He killed half of my people in like a minute, knocked me out in less than a second. I don't know how you could fight him alone..."

"I wasn't alone," Cat smiled up at the others, who were explaining who Kraven was to Fury and Ross. "My team was looking after me."

When Cat spotted the black man approaching, her posture straightened out of habit, she almost blurted out a "Hi, sir." But clenched her jaw before any sound could come out. She thought he'd be mad, she'd shown up here and there doing whatever she wanted for years, but to her surprise, Fury chortled.

"If it isn't Miss I'm-no-hero!" He taunted her, the most striking part about him was that he no longer wore an eyepatch. "How's that working for you?"

Cat felt terribly self-conscious about the logo on her back. "Alright, yeah, I might've spoken too soon..."

"No shit!" He raised a brow. "Imagine my surprise when I heard that little country prince had been saved by Copycat and her team of young Avengers!"

Cat grumbled her response like an angry kid. "What's it to ya? You're not the boss anymore..."

"So you'll be the leader?" Fury pressed, his smile evaporating. "You can provide transport, weaponry, and contacts?"

Her brows furrowed. "Maybe."

"Maybe!" He let out a short, dry laugh. "Eyes up, agent!"

Cat obeyed. She groaned, scolding herself for having such a quick response. "What?"

Fury eyed her with amusement, Cat had always been impertinent, he enjoyed seeing her eat her words. The man reached to shake her hand. "I look forward to working together, Copycat."

Cat stared at his hand, she shook it firmly and spoke in a wary voice. "Yeah... I guess."

He glanced over her shoulder at Spider-man and the rest. "That your whole team?"

Cat responded with certainty this time. "No, just the Hawkeye."

"What about the rest?" Fury scowled.

"They're just my friends," she shrugged. "This concerned Nightcrawler too, so he came here to put an end to this. Spider-man's just a good guy, he likes to be helpful."

The man glanced at the other mutant. "Why is he not on your team? Heard he's good."

"He's not here to stay." Cat smiled, her eyes a little dejected as she spoke.

"Keep an eye on him either way. Do you have recruits in line?"

"A few," she nodded. "But don't meddle with that, I'll take care of 'em."

"What about the compound?"

Cat gestured at the mansion. "You're looking at it."

The man huffed, might've been a laugh, but she wasn't sure. "Is that right?"

She smirked. "If you can get someone who can make it happen, I guess it is."

Fury groaned. "Always getting me in trouble..."

"Wouldn't be me otherwise," Cat joked.

Fury said he'd look into it, he and Agent Ross left with Kraven numbed and handcuffed. Kurt approached her hesitantly. "We need to talk..."

"You're leaving," she didn't meet his eyes, still looking at the black vehicle that was driving away. "To become a Guardian."

Her friend stared at her carefully. "Who told you?"

"I kind of guessed it, when I heard you talking with Rocket," she sighed. "You called him 'Boss' and 'Captain', which means you're working with him again."

Kurt drew out his blaster and started tinkering with it. "Out in space, no one bats an eye when I walk into a room. I'm normal, handsome, even... It feels right. "

"I think you're handsome—"

"You know what I mean," he pressed. "You met a mutant that lives underwater, not so long ago. You said he proved to you that we can do anything... so I'm doing it. I'm reaching for the stars."

The thought of Kurt living galaxies away made her soft, but not for the reason she'd expected. Cat was happy for him, and very proud. "I knew this would happen," she said. "When we met I promised you a good life in space... and you used to love it there, I never forgot."

"I love being here as well," he shrugged, "it's not bad, it's just..."

"It's not for you," she pushed. "Your real family's out there. Apart from me, the Guardians were the first group of people who loved you, I understand why you want to be with them."

"But you'll always be my best friend," Kurt said hoarsely.

Cat teared up, yet she did her best to smile. "We're soulmates, Kurt. Nothing's gonna change that."

They hugged as if trying to suffocate each other. It felt weird, knowing they were parting ways. No more team-ups unless they faced a Thanos 2.0, and if she was honest, she hoped that would never happen.

Maybe he'd visit, maybe he'd call, but they would never spend time like this again, and it wasn't bad, but it made her feel uneasy. Cat broke the hug and cleaned her nose, Kurt dried his tear-stained face.

Kate approached with worry. "You okay, guys?"

"Kurt's leaving," her lip started quivering again. "I need a moment..."

She walked away while Kurt explained everything to their friend, what he'd decided to do now that everything was over. Cat had barely controlled her crying when Spidey approached and tapped her shoulder.

"What?" She asked quietly.

"There's something you should know..."

"Oh man, what now?" She complained, rubbing her eyes tiredly.

"Please, don't get mad," Peter groaned, pressing his hands over his masked face. "Maybe it's not a good idea..."

"Just say it, Webs," Cat sniffed. "I can take it."

She was trying to be brave, considering she most certainly could not take any more. Peter hesitated, but in the end, even if she couldn't, he had to do it. "Parker's not gone, he's in my apartment. He wants me to go to his universe with him so I can take the beeper back once he gets there."

Cat stared at him. "Oh my god," she breathed. Parker would leave forever because he thought Cat didn't care, that she didn't like him. He was right, Cat didn't like him. She loved him.

It came down on her overwhelmingly fast. That feeling of despair was longing, the fear she felt when he was around her was only a rush of expectation. It was her brain asking many questions at once.

Can I do this?

Can I be happy?

Do I deserve it?

Is it real?

"He can't go," she said, more to herself than to her friend. "Not like this."

"I thought the same," Peter's voice brightened. "What are you waiting for, C?"

All this time, the ticking in her head had been three words in disguise.

Is this real?

Is this real?

Is this real?

Every time she lost the sources of joy in her life, those thoughts pestered her relentlessly. But Parker was real still, she hadn't lost him yet. He'd looked into the darkest parts of her soul and treated them with respect and understanding since the start, and even knowing all she could be, he'd stayed.

Cat gave Peter a brief hug. "Tell the others I'll see them tomorrow— Make sure Harley is truly okay and tell Kurt he can't leave without saying goodbye!"

"Will do!"

She sprinted out of there, the mutant heard the others shouting her name but before any of them could reach her she teleported to Peter's apartment.

The place was empty, the sun was going down, and she was panicking a little. What if Parker decided to leave and destroy the beeper in his universe?

No, the beeper was a gift, she didn't think he'd have the heart to break it. Cat copied Matt's ability and heard a heartbeat on the rooftop: young and anxious.

She stormed out of the apartment, went upstairs jumping two steps at a time, and quickly reached the rooftop access. Cat tugged the door open struggling to breathe, everything seemed to be moving fast and dreadfully slow at the same time.

"Peter Parker!" Her eyes spotted the young man standing at the opposite end of the roof. He turned to her, confused.

"What the—" he never got to finish the question, because Cat rushed to his encounter, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and kissed him as if her life depended on it. Her hand went up to his hair keeping him in place.

Parker's hands found their way around, one settled on her waist and the other on her cheek. He reciprocated so eagerly that Cat's knees buckled. Peter kept her steady. "I—" she was cut short by his lips, then tried to speak without moving away. "I...mmove... u."

"What?" He pulled away to breathe just a second, his eyes remained closed as he leaned down once more, searching for her mouth blindly.

Cat positioned both hands on his shoulders, she needed him to hear her as clearly as possible. "I love you. I couldn't let you go thinking I didn't care. Peter, I want you so badly it makes me look stupid."

"You hate looking stupid," he replied in awe.

"I don't care anymore," she shook her head, breathing heavily. "Kurt said he'll reach for the stars, and if he's brave enough to leave this place, then I should too."

Parker's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"

"I've been too comfortable in my misery," she sulked. "It's a type of pain I know how to handle... and I've met people who make me want to be better but you... you make me better. That scared me. There is always a chance to fall back to rock bottom when you're good."

"I'm scared too," Parker cupped her face tenderly. "But you're worth the risk. And I want to be worthy of you. Even if it hurts, or if you're scared. Even if you can't promise to stay forever. You are worth trying for," he emphasized his last sentence. "So, please, let us try."

Cat let out an incredulous laugh at how certain he sounded, she was overwhelmed. "But I'm... I'm so hard to keep, Peter..."

"That just means you're human," his brows furrowed. "Doesn't mean you don't deserve to be happy. I know you don't know what to call yourself outside that suit, but you wanna know who you are to me?" He leaned his forehead on hers, voice tender. "The whole package."

Cat's eyes softened. "It's a package with a lot of mistakes, though..." she replied, though no longer trying to argue against him.

"Everyone makes mistakes," he shrugged, Peter didn't seem tired of hearing the same response over and over, he was willing to repeat himself too. "And if somebody doesn't, they aren't trying at all. The beautiful part is that we keep learning, we can always get better. Your mistakes are just a part of who you're meant to be, but I don't see them as something unforgivable, only things that make you a real person."

Tears started spilling down her face and onto his thumbs, she held his wrists gently. "What if that's not enough to keep us together?"

"We have so much to experience, so many dreams to accomplish, and people to meet... we'll get hurt, Cat, we don't know why or how much... but I rather live through that with you, than never see you again. The life we could live is worth being a little afraid. And I love that. I love you."

Cat leaned in for another kiss, not as passionate as before, just enough to feel him close again. "Have you considered starting a career as a poet?" She said with a shaky voice. "I think you'd make more money than by working as a scientist..."

"Shut up," He chuckled, his smile only getting bigger. "I know what you're trying to do, but I won't let you ruin the moment. Let me have it," his doe eyes gazed down at her as he brushed her nose with his. "I have to go back, don't I?" He said, pouting a little. "I can't take you away... I won't do that to you."

"I may have a way of fixing your problem," she said, starting to come up with one of her outside-the-box plans. "It might be nonsense, though... can you stay one more day?"

"Probably not," he shook his head, biting his lip to try and stop smiling. It wasn't working. "But I bet we'll have fun if I do."

Meta-Fic Sequel - Chapter 2: Catching Up

Meanwhile, in the Marvel universe…We have Wong being a mother hen, Avengers banter, and questionable decisions being made. Yayyyy! Here we goooooo!~ TRIGGER WARNING: Language, passing mentions of trauma and one drug reference, a couple of real-life scary news stories mentioned (but not in-depth).

*After Stephen’s return to his home universe, it took a few weeks at Kamar-Taj for him to fully recover.  Being in a non-magical universe for so long had drained him and the Cloak of Levitation of magical energy and it unfortunately cost Cloak its sentience and “life”.  The sorcerer, aided by his mentor and friend, Wong, took the relic to Enitharmon the Weaver.  It was a tough job re-enchanting the Cloak, but it was done as Stephen gradually regained his own magic.  Stephen is overjoyed to have regained his silent companion.  Though he still conceals his excitement out of pride.  Wong smirks knowingly.  After both relic and mage are sorted out, the older man resumes training Doctor Strange for the Trials of the Vishanti.*

Stephen (going through what was probably the 20th practice round of the day):  How long did anyone else have to undergo training before this?

Wong:  Decades if not centuries, Strange.  Your case is more of an emergency promotion if anything.

Stephen (sarcastic):  Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Wong:  I did not say anything negative about your capabilities.  Just that you lack experience.

Stephen:  Experience?  I literally lived through millions of different timelines to find the right one to beat Thanos!

Wong:  I mean in a breadth of things, Strange.  Not necessarily in terms of time.  You will get there.

*Stephen huffs and continues to train as hard as humanly possible.  After a few more hours, Wong decides enough is enough.*

Wong:  Strange, as great as your devotion to the role may be, rest is essential for general well-being.  Stop for now.  You can continue tomorrow.  *He gives Stephen a look.*  …and don’t even think of stealing more books to memorize overnight.  I WILL know.

*Stephen gets a stubborn expression at first, but then he gets a text notification on his normal phone from his own universe.*

Wong (slightly smug):  I let your teammates know that you’re back.  I’m sure that they have many questions for you.  *His expression softens slightly*  Go.  Spend some time with your friends, Strange.  They’ve been concerned about you.

*Stephen checks his home universe’s phone.*

Tony Stark (text): Hello to the consulting wizard of Bleecker Street. I hope you know I have chosen to believe you get no signal in there whatsoever. Because you definitely did not leave me on read for weeks. Also Cap told me to message you again, so you can go complain to him all you want. He keeps insisting we meet to debrief, as if 80% of meetings could not be resolved through email. You back from the universal tailor shop yet?

*Stephen sighs and decides to reply.*

Stephen (text):  Hello, Tony.  My apologies for the delay.  Being trapped within a non-magical universe severely drained me and I needed to recover.  I’m back on my feet and the Cloak has been successfully repaired.  If the team wishes, I can portal over to Avengers Campus posthaste.

Tony (text): Posthaste? Who the hell - -

Tony (text): The team (Steve) very much wishes you get your magical ass over here posthastily – Yes!!

*Stephen glares at the messages and grabs his Sling Ring.  The Cloak glides over and latches onto his shoulders.  He pats it fondly.* 

Stephen (to the Cloak and himself):  Okay…Time to debrief.  

*He opens the portal to the common tech lab in Avengers Campus and steps through.  When he does, he’s greeted by the sight of a rather irritated Tony Stark with Captain America hovering over his shoulder while the younger man attempts to hide his phone screen.*

Tony (to Steve): I don’t care if he gets offended, I was not going to type “at your convenience” as if I was writing a memo to my boss. I’m usually the one getting memos from nervous employees!

Steve:  Was the cursing really necessary, Tony?  *He points over Tony’s shoulder at the offending text.*

*Peter Parker is leaning against a nearby table, glued to his own phone.  When he notices the portal, he looks up and straightens quickly to greet the sorcerer.*

Peter: Doctor Strange! Hi! You did pop by. *He shuffles his weight nervously and crosses his arms over his chest, nearly hiding his phone under his armpit. His eyes shift from the sorcerer to the two bickering heroes*

Tony: *His head whips toward Stephen and the portal the moment Peter talks, and he throws a hand out toward the sorcerer as he addresses Steve* See? Worked like a charm. Now get off my back and go bother him for a change.

*Steve sighs and shakes his head before walking over to greet Stephen.  The portal closes behind Doctor Strange as he walks to the group.*  

Steve (polite):  Hello, Stephen.  Welcome back.

Stephen:  Hello.  *He gives Steve and Peter a respectful nod.*  It appears that this universe remains intact, which is a relief.  *He glances at Tony to acknowledge the other man’s presence.*

Peter: *He reels back at the odd expression and squints his eyes up at Stephen* Wait…was there a chance that it was not going to? You were gone for like a week!

Tony: *He leaps off his stool the moment he sees Stephen drawing breath to answer Peter* Nope, can it. The universe is still very much where and how it should be. We saved it. Kinda traded my arm for it as part of the deal, in fact. The least it can do is stay saved for more than a few months. *He waves his right arm as if Stephen could have possibly missed it when he was the one who saved Tony in the first place. The sleek nano tech is the red, gold, and silver colors of the Iron Man armor*

Stephen (raising an eyebrow):  It was actually two weeks.  As for the universe, that WOULD be nice, but unfortunately, interdimensional crises don’t take months off.  *He snarks.*

Peter: Right… *His voice is quiet but his small frown remains. It’s clear he’s attempting to appear unbothered in front of the adults.*

Tony: *He rubs his left hand down his face tiredly. He then sends Stephen a fulminating look and nods his head toward Peter, urging him to mind his words of doom and gloom in front of the teenager* So, Steve, you wanted to interrogate David Copperfield here, right? It’s why you disturbed the sanctity of our lab party? You asked, I delivered. *He waves his hands in front of him again, silently conveying a “have a it” at the Captain*

Steve (stepping forward):  All right.  Well, Stephen, it’s been several weeks since you’ve contacted any of us.  So, care to update us on what exactly has been going on?

*Stephen looks at the group and gives a small nod.*

Stephen:  I suppose all of you deserve an explanation.  So, I’ll keep it concise.  Essentially, there was an accident while I was in the middle of fighting an interdimensional being and as a result, I ended up trapped in another universe with no way out for 2 weeks.  *He looks at the group.*

Steve (raising an eyebrow):  Another universe?  Could you please describe it?

Stephen (a bit reluctant):  This universe is similar to ours, but without magic, mutants, or any versions of us.  They have knowledge of us, but somehow, we’re all just fictional characters in comic books and movies to them.  In addition, they’re suffering from the results of a global pandemic that killed millions *Gives Tony a sideways look when the other man immediately goes to speak*  —Yes, I quarantined during my recovery—, immense political corruption, and numerous other crises.  

Steve:  That sounds surreal and more than a little intense.  What are the inhabitants like?

Stephen:  The inhabitants I met were kind and hospitable people.  However, due to the lack of magic, the Cloak and I were slowly drained until the Cloak lost its sentience and I could no longer cast spells without aid from what little residual magic leaked through the interdimensional rifts leftover from my arrival.  *He’s containing his displeasure at this part.*

Steve (sympathetic):  It doesn’t seem like it was an easy time.  How did you finally get back here, then?  Also, what have you been doing since you came back here?

Stephen:  After my final attempt at casting a portal failed, Wong managed to pick up enough of a magical signal to find me.  My time after that was mostly spent repairing the Cloak, recovering my magic, and training for the role of Sorcerer Supreme.  My Trials begin within the next 2 months.  *Something occurs to him.*  While I was trapped in the other universe, the group helping me provided some research materials for us to view and interact with.  To ensure that none of this affects our own timeline, they omitted anything related to us.  So, feel free to go through it.

*He conjures the large bag that Trix gave him before he left.  It has the dvds, cds, cell phone I gave him, some covid tests, and a few books in it.  Stephen sets it on the table in front of the other three heroes.  Captain America gives Stephen a shocked look, but decides to rifle through the bag curiously.*

Steve (glancing at a movie that he recognizes):  That’s…quite a story, there.  *He looks at Stephen for a moment, concerned.*  Are you feeling all right now?

Stephen:  Better, thank you.  

Peter: *He immediately perks up at the sight of the large bag Stephen procured, and he eagerly leans closer for a better inspection* Did all this really come from another universe?

Tony: Ah ah ah *He quickly snatches Peter’s wrist with his good hand before Peter can reach the zipper* FRIDAY? Do we know if this is toxic to us in any way?

Peter: What? Doctor Strange is magic. Surely he just…decontaminated this with a spell, right? *He gives Tony a weird look before turning to Stephen for confirmation*

*Stephen nods*

Stephen:  I did, but since our magic isn’t in their universe, we can check it just to be sure the effects of the spell worked.  It hasn’t hurt me or Wong.  So, chances are that things are reasonably safe.  There are also some antibody tests in there for the disease.  So, we can always reverse-engineer it if anything is contaminated.  *He’s levelheaded about this.*  

FRIDAY: My scans did not detect any anomalies, boss.

Tony: *He sighs and releases Peter* Alright. Have at it, kid.

*Peter opens the bag and pulls out the first thing that sticks to his fingers, which happens to be a DVD. He turns it over a few times before placing it on the table in front of Steve and Tony.*

Peter: Huh, this is weirdly uncanny…*He continues to pull the items out before one in particular catches his full attention. It is a special edition of Jurassic Park* No way! Did that universe also still have dinosaurs around? Could that be a thing? What is the world like if the meteor never hit?

Stephen (patient):  Oh, those are their special effects for movies.  They’re revolutionary in that universe.  A way of compensating for the lack of magic and mutants.  The dinosaurs there are still extinct like ours.

Tony: Give it here, Pete, you take forever. *He hooked the bag’s strap with his finger and dragged it closer, curiosity finally taking the better of him as he dug in elbows-deep into the bag*

Peter: Aww *He deflates for a moment before his eyes catch on to another plastic case Tony just discarded* No way! Star Wars? Wait, this one looks mostly the same…

Tony: *Totally ignoring Peter’s rambling* Yeah, say, Strange, did your summer holiday universe also happen to be stuck in the 80s? This thing is ancient. *He turns his hand to reveal the phone Stephen brought back with him. It’s a far cry from the latest Stark Phone model.*

*Stephen gives Tony a sour look.*

Stephen:  Their technology is, admittedly, rather behind ours in some ways.  They haven’t even gotten beyond their moon yet in terms of space travel.  *He holds up a dvd of a moon landing documentary.*  

Tony: *His eyes immediately zero in on the documentary Stephen has, and he leaves the phone on the table to instead make grabby motions at the sorcerer.* Gimme.

*Stephen passes Tony the dvd. Tony quickly flips it over and reads the information on the back cover.*

Tony: Neil Armstrong, Charlesworth, Milton Windler…They really don’t mention Howard at all in this… *He looks back up at Stephen, finally seeming to understand their absence in the other universe*

Stephen (reiterating):  Howard Stark never existed.  Nor did any of our families or us.

*He digs through the bag and pulls out a thick book.*

Stephen:  Steward, one of the women there, also left us an encyclopedia.  It has some descriptions and photos of their technology.  Plus, a bit more of their history.

*Steve picks it up to look.*

Steve:  You weren’t kidding.  Some of their modern, government-issue machines look like the ones that I was trained to use back before I got frozen.

Tony: *He leans over to glance at the book Steve is holding* The Manhattan Project. Without Howard…did they still…?

*Stephen nods grimly.*

Stephen (deadly serious):  The Cold War also still happened and Russia is currently trying its damndest to restart it AND has been threatening the world with nuclear missiles.  Not to mention their North Korea…

*Steve looks horrified.*

Peter: But… They’ve got fail-safes, right? They must have. The UN should have been created too if they’ve been through the same wars we have.

Stephen:  They do…Though apparently, a false alarm got set off a few years back and alerted Hawaii to an incoming ballistic missile.  There was a huge news story about that.  So, they’ve come dangerously close to nuclear war multiple times, but have managed to narrowly avoid it.

Steve (looking at an article):  Who is this Donald Trump?

Stephen:  You don’t want to know, Steve.  Trust me.

*Tony rubs a hand over his face, clearly upset by all the information. He nibbles on a hangnail while he takes in the entire contents of Stephen’s bag now strewn about his lab table. There isn’t much, all things considered. He probably won’t find much use for the outdated tech either, regardless of its otherworldly origin.*

Tony: Alright. Well, it sure sounds like one depressing world to choose for a vacation, but this is it, right? You made it back and our universes are not going to collapse like one lame Big Bang reenactment.

Peter: *He leans his elbows on the table and looks up at Stephen with his head tilted in curiosity* So how did you survive all that time in another universe? You said you met kind people, but we didn’t even exist there.

Stephen:  Yeah.  Their names were Trix, PrettyWitch, Tear, Steward, Fox, Laer, Tua, Alexis, and Weevil.  Steward let me stay at her house and everybody helped me research different ways to try and get home.  Oh!  Also, Steward did offer to keep my cell plan active over there, but needless to say, the phone doesn’t work between dimensions.  *He toys with the buttons absentmindedly.*

Tony: *He squints his eyes at Stephen suspiciously* I thought magic didn’t exist there either. How could you have anything to research?

Stephen:  They don’t have magic, but they do have mythology, urban legends, and occult books.  They were willing to help me try anything vaguely supernatural that might work.  None of it really did with the exception of one spell, but that was a side effect from my being there.  Also, unfortunately, a group of miners there was consumed by an entity that came from one of the rifts…*He looks considerably ashamed of that last part.*

Peter: Dude…

Steve (gentle and understanding):  You did what you could, Stephen.  Even if we want to, we can’t save everyone.  You did the best you could with what you had.

*Tony gives a deep sigh and observes Stephen carefully, from the guilty slump of his shoulders to the way his scarred fingers continue toying with the ancient cellphone. He’ll probably never understand this so-called multiversal travel, but he’s no dimwitted asshole either. Whatever Stephen lived there seemed to be of great impact to him, and the Avengers had long learned to have each other’s backs.*

Tony: Well… We’ve cracked how to build communication devices that can transmit messages thousands of lightyears away. FRIDAY, where did we get Nebula’s last message from?

FRIDAY: Last message was received from the Guardians of the Galaxy’s headquarters in Knowhere, boss. But she confirmed the new propulsion engines you helped design were successful in making the Celestial’s head mobile, so calculating their distance in relation to us is impossible.

Tony: Of course they were successful. My point is, what do you think of figuring out a way to communicate between different universes, Pete?

Peter: *His expression brightens at the mere idea* Do you think it can be done?

Tony: Between you, me, FRIDAY, and our good doctor? I wouldn’t say our chances were abysmal. *He crosses his arms over his chest and sends Stephen a smug smirk* If anything, it’ll be a fun challenge.

Stephen (small grin): All right.  Challenge accepted. 

*A few months pass as Tony, Peter, and Stephen attempt to modify the phone for multiversal communication.  Stephen can only help sporadically due to his intense training and Trials, but after he passes, he gains his new title of Sorcerer Supreme.  He does have more responsibilities now, but still manages to come by Avengers Campus regularly to help work on the project.  The former surgeon also works with Dr. Bruce Banner and reverse-engineers a vaccine to the covid virus from the antibodies in our universe’s covid test kits and every Avenger gets inoculated just in case something happens later on.  Eventually, they think that they might have gotten a breakthrough with the phone. Which is why Stephen sneaks out of Kamar-Taj as soon as he finishes teaching novices after he suddenly got a new text from Tony.* 

Tony (text): Hey, Stranger Supreme. Drop by the lab whenever you’re on a break in this dimension. Turns out one of the pockets in that alternate universe bag of yours had a hole. Found a USB stuck in-between the fabrics. You’ll want to see this.

*Stephen portals into the lab.*

Stephen (curious):  Did they save some other documents for us or something?  

*Tony looks up from where he’s busy soldering something onto what appears to be one of Sam Wilson’s Falcon wings. His face is smudged with black stains, and his eyes are wide behind his protective glasses. He smiles when he sees Stephen and quickly puts away the soldering iron.*

Tony: Wow, you really are here. I figured you wouldn’t see my texts until next week at the least, what with you being out of town so often after you got promoted to Headmaster.

Stephen (raising an eyebrow):  *Mildly sarcastic.*  Very amusing, Tony.  So, what exactly did they leave for us to find?

Tony: *He hops off his stool and removes his protective glasses before approaching Stephen with a big grin* Something close to state secrets, I would say. Definitely the type of thing that could be universe altering. It might even break the multiverse.

*Stephen stares at Tony for a moment, worried, before fully processing the shit-eating grin.*

Stephen (realizing what it might be):  They didn’t…

Tony: *He squints his eyes at Stephen’s reaction, tilting his head to the side* Oh, you know what it is, do you? FRIDAY, privacy mode. *He crosses his arms over his chest and leans his hip against the nearest workbench while FRIDAY darkens the glass windows surrounding the lab, his eyes never leaving Stephen’s face as if he could read his thoughts through sheer force of will.* Show Stephen the contents of the first folder, cheer him up a little.

*A hologram flickers to life near them, large enough to cover almost an entire wall. Yet Tony’s gaze stays fixed on Stephen, unwilling to miss his reaction as a video of none other than Wong begins to play. He’s listening to music in a dark library, and Beyonce’s singing voice can be heard despite the fact that he’s wearing earphones. A small portal fizzles into existence behind him, and a disembodied hand quickly snatches a book off the shelf and is gone before Wong can turn around and see it. The action gets repeated a few more times until even the book Wong was reading gets taken from right under his nose. Tony didn’t need to use his genius to deduce Stephen had been the one pulling the prank.*

*The video is followed by a couple others, all of them depicting Wong as if viewed through a camera lens. The final video in that folder clearly depicts Wong singing karaoke with two young adults Tony had never met but was not surprised Wong never spoke about. Tony had technically just shown Stephen a gold mine of blackmail against his best friend.*

*Stephen watches the videos, a grin spreading widely across his face.  He seems relieved, thinking that he got away scot-free.*

Stephen (amused):  Wong is NEVER living this down…Thanks, ladies.  *He looks like a kid on Christmas morning.*

Tony: *His expression shifts into something that screams smug victory* Glad we both agree. Because I…will certainly be looking forward to tons of new favors from both our ex and new Sorcerer Supreme. FRIDAY?

Stephen (suddenly going back to dread):  What?  *He stares in horror.*

*FRIDAY smoothly swaps to the contents found in the second folder of the USB file. The following video looks distinctly homemade in comparison to the previous ones. The resolution is different, giving away the fact that the video was taken with a cellphone, but the image is still impressively clear. There is no denying that it is Stephen himself standing in the middle of a cozy living room with a younger woman. They are both singing karaoke to the lyrics that appear on a TV screen, and three other women are singing along with them on the surrounding couches.*

Stephen (exasperated):  …Of course.  Trix was filming that night because it was our last night together.

Tony: *He laughs* And it sure looks like it was quite a night!

Stephen (sighing):  Damnit, girls.

*The video is followed by a few others, each full of carefree singing, silly dances, and laughter. There are a few photos as well, candid and selfies alike. Everyone sports tispy blushes, and a few pictures even include ugly and funny faces being pulled at the camera. Even so, the final picture looks incredibly tame and sweet in comparison. It is a selfie of all five of them with Stephen squeezed into the middle of the frame, surrounded on nearly all sides by the girls’ bright smiles. FRIDAY leaves that photo up for Stephen to admire, and even Tony drops his teasing aura to give the sorcerer a moment to enjoy his memories.*

Tony: Sure looks like you met some good people. *He has finally stopped looking at Stephen, staring instead at the sweet picture with a sincere smile.*

*Stephen’s expression has gone from dread and exasperation to more of a gentle, reminiscent smile.*  

Stephen:  Yeah.  They are.  I can’t really be mad at them for this.  They literally risked their lives and even faced interdimensional entities to try and help me.  *He looks at the picture for a bit longer before getting back to business.*  So, you mentioned a potential breakthrough with the phone earlier…?

Tony: Oh yeah. That new spell you and Wong tried on it seems to have done it. Still bothers me to hell and back that I have no idea what that dimensional energy even is. *He scoffs in annoyance and pushes himself off the workbench with a roll of his eyes* FRI? Lift the privacy mode. Super secret wizard files won’t be displayed again. *He moves to the little food station shoved into a corner of the lab, where he fiddles with the coffee maker until a secret compartment pops up. He extracts Stephen’s USB from it, and turns to hand it over to Stephen* Here. I’d keep that far away from Wong if I were you.

*Stephen accepts the USB drive and tucks it into his pocket for now.*  

Stephen (back to his old self):  Thanks.  *He gives a grateful nod before narrowing his eyes suspiciously.*  So, how many copies of those files did you make?  *He curls his lip, knowingly.*

Tony: *He reels back, a hand pressed to his chest purely for show* Your lack of trust in me is absolutely appalling. What kind of tech genius do you take me for? That’s obviously the only physical copy in existence. In this universe, at the very least.

Stephen:  Mhm…A pot-stirring kind.  One with plenty of cloud storage for electronic copies waiting to be sent.  Don’t even think about it.

Tony: *His lips twitch in amusement, holding back a smile* Cloud storage, he says. This is why monk wizards should not have state secrets. FRI?

FRIDAY: A single digital copy of the file has been made and saved in Mr. Stark’s personal server. It is heavily encrypted with a code Boss programmed himself, and the files have been locked against any online uploads or physical downloads.

Tony: *He puts his hands on his hips, quite proud of himself* There you have it. No one but me can access them, and even if they did there was nothing they could do with them. I could easily change that though, so keep an eye on your phone. I’ll text you the specifics of my first wish, Jeannie, dear.

*Stephen makes an irritated noise.*

Stephen (exasperated):  Besides…that…When is a good time to test the phone?

Tony: How about this weekend? Say…Sunday? Peter’s coming over again, and he made me promise I wouldn’t test it without him here. Cap should be back with Nat from Wakanda on Friday night anyway. Guy’s engaged with the storyline as if it was a soap opera, so you might want to save yourself the bother of being hounded for another briefing.

Stephen:  *Giving Tony a weird look at the soap opera remark.*  That, I can do.  Should be free after checking the wards on the Sanctum.

*When the weekend comes, Stephen joins Tony, Peter, Steve, and Bruce at the lab they claimed for themselves in Avengers Campus while they worked on this project together. Bruce usually only popped in for short periods of time to give his input on the different energies they could experiment with to make Stephen’s phone work again, but he made sure to come see what happens with the interdimensional cell phone now that they are ready to test it.*

Stephen:  Okay.  I’ve let Wong know what we’re doing and he wants to keep posted on any updates.  Thanks for joining us, Bruce.  How are you feeling?  It’s been a while.  

Bruce (calm and amiable):  Alright.  I’m just curious to see how well this works and observe the properties of the other universe.

Peter: *He stands next to where Tony is sitting on a stool. He’s nearly vibrating in excitement as he stares down at the phone on the workbench* I think it’s going to work. It should work. I mean, Tony and I got the battery working again, and then Doctor Strange and Wong seem to finally nail the spell they created together.

Tony: Well, there’s only one way to find out. *He reaches over to push the phone in Stephen’s direction, silently urging him to turn it on*

*Stephen pushes and holds the “On” button and the phone activates.  Everyone waits in tense silence, holding their breath as the phone’s screen lights up and the little bars at the top desperately search for signal. After a few seconds, they stop in a complete set of solid white bars, and the first chime of a notification is the first sign of their success.*

Peter: Yes! *He pumps his fist in the air and instantly turns to high five Tony, who is smiling as widely as he is.*

*Another notification ping from the phone interrupts them, followed by another, and another. Stephen’s eyes widen slightly as the screen suddenly floods with a wall of notifications. There is a large backlog of text messages from the group.*

Various texts:

“Test”

“Hi, Stephen!  Can you see this?  We know you’re busy, but please reply with a simple “yes” if you’re there.”

“Erm…We think there’s some leftover magic here still.  Some weird stuff is happening.” 

Articles texted:  

“Glowing Baby Born in China, Experts Baffled”

“New Genes with Unknown Origin Discovered”

“Populations of Extinct Animal Species Re-Discovered”

“Cryptid Sightings Rising, Mass Hysteria Blamed”

“Russian Oligarch Dragged off of Yacht, Killed by Mermaids”

“Mothman Attracted to Headlights, Steals Car”

“Florida Man Swallowed Whole by Megalodon, Massive Prehistoric Shark Dies of Drug Overdose”

More texts:

“It’s starting to get bad.  Please help if you can.  We know these texts aren’t going through, but we have to try.”

 “We have a problem.  If you ever get this message, please help.”

*The last one is a blurry picture of a Chupacabra, teeth on full display outside of a tent.  The only text with the image is “HELP”.*

*Stephen’s eyes get wider with concern.*

Stephen (quietly):  Oh shit…

Bruce: (concerned): What’s wrong? Did it work?

Stephen:  Yes, but the rifts in their universe got bigger and now they’re being flooded with interdimensional energy.  It’s pure chaos.  *He shows them the articles and pic.*  This is my fault.  I have to get over there and fix it.  *He texts Wong to update him on what’s going on so the older sorcerer can help him get back in case he gets stranded again.  Then, he gets ready to go it alone.*  

Steve:  Wait!  This is an entire other universe getting flooded with energy from our universe, right?  That’s a job for a team.  We’re coming with you.

Stephen (stubborn):  It’s my mess, Steve.  My responsibility.  

*Wong portals in.*

Wong:  Exactly. So, you will take responsibility and resolve this properly with your team.

*Stephen deflates slightly, having been called out.*

Bruce: I will hold down the fort here. Their world doesn’t need a Hulk in it and you don’t have to worry about taking multiple Avengers with you.

Steve:  I’ll let the others know what’s going on.  Stay put for a minute.  *He runs to go tell Natasha, Vision, Clint, and Scott what’s happening.  Sam is unavailable due to an ongoing mission with Bucky while Thor is busy being King in New Asgard.*

Peter: I’ll be going too! As I’m sure you recall, I make excellent back-up.

Tony: *He immediately jerks his stool around to face Peter, face gone completely pale.* What? Absolutely not. Your aunt would kill me.

Peter: But Mr. Stark, the people in that world don’t have heroes to protect them! Dr. Banner is right, we’ll need a discreet team. Spider-Man is perfect for the job!

Tony: I don’t care! Didn’t you learn anything last time? I can’t… *He bites back the words “protect you in a different universe.” Peter grits his teeth and looks away, stubbornly crossing his arms over his chest. Tony looks at the other Avengers for help.*

Bruce: Why don’t you compromise? Peter gets to go but you go as well. Who knows what technical issues they’re having over there that they might need help with and a suit of armor sounds more…grounded compared to the rest of us.

*Tony turns to Bruce, brown eyes wide and nearly pleading. He really doesn’t want to go on another mission into the unknown. He doesn’t want to leave his universe. He likes his universe! Likes it so much he gave his right arm for it, in fact.*

Stephen (to Peter):  As long as you don’t go off on your own, kid.  Stay within at least one of our lines of sight.  Deal?

*Stephen doesn’t like any of this, but he figures that since Peter was involved with the Thanos debacle before and several other crises, he’s pretty much a fully-fledged member of the Avengers anyway.  He’s still protective of Peter, but the kid’s growing up quickly and given the collective trauma that they’ve all been through, they should have each others’ backs.*

Peter: *His head snaps toward Stephen, and he gives him a bright grin* Yes! Deal. I promise.

*Tony turns to send Stephen a betrayed look.*

Bruce: Tony, you don’t even have to be gone that long. Stop the major stuff and set up something to help them learn to protect themselves then come home. Wong and Stephen know how to get back and forth between the two universes now plus think of all of the data you collect not only while you travel but in a different universe completely!

Peter: *Hesitantly* Mr. Stark…you know you don’t have to come. You could stay behind with Dr. Banner. We can replicate our work on Doctor Strange’s cellphone on all of our communication devices, and…and I could take all the samples you told me to.

*Tony looked even more crestfallen as Peter spoke. Probably everyone in the lab knew that would never work. He shifted his attention back to the two sorcerers, wondering and gauging if he was willing to put his life and Peter’s in their hands again. It annoyed him that his answer was a confident “yes.”*

Tony: Pete, I know you only want to go there for bragging rights about Star Wars. I cannot in good conscience throw you at Strange with no babysitter.

Peter: *His mouth drops open, offended* Who says I need…? I’m nineteen!

Tony: Exactly. *He puts up his fingers to count* Can’t vote. Can’t drink. I’m going. *The moment the words leave his mouth, he slumps on the workbench and runs a hand down his face tiredly* Pepper’s going to kill me.

*Captain America runs back in with the other Avengers in tow.*

Natasha:  Hey. Steve filled us in. I’ll help hold the fort with Bruce.  I doubt you guys need a spy.

Clint:  Same.  The campus shouldn’t be left unguarded.

Vision:  I shall ensure the smooth operation of Dr. Banner’s equipment by patching myself into the system.

Scott: I’ll go. You guys could use someone who can get into small spaces undetected.

Clint: No Hope then?  

Scott: No, she’s on vacation with her folks…Hank’s gonna kill me for taking his suit again, though. 

Stephen:  Okay.  Looks like we have our away team.  *He turns to Wong*  Happy?

Wong: Very.

Stephen: We should go.  *He opens a large portal to our universe for the group of heroes to go through.  He can already notice that it looks and feels…different there.*
