TWO
“So, she just appeared in your lab?” Steve asked incredulously.
“No, she asked to come in. Yes Steve, yes, she just appeared” said Tony, sounding exasperated.
Her head was fuzzy, she must have hit it on the way down. She could hear voices in the distance, but couldn’t quite make out what they were saying.
“What was going on?” She thought she remembered taking her dog, Thor, outside and… blank. Wait… there was something else. Something red…. She felt sick. There it was! In a flash it all came back to her.
Bolting upright, she saw two people standing in the room with her. Making herself dizzy from the sudden movement, she noticed two men standing in the room with her. Two men who bore a striking resemblance to Tony Stark and Steve Rogers from the MCU…. Both men eyed her with suspicion.
“Finally, you’re awake.” Said the man she saw earlier. ”Ok kid, tell me how you got into my lab. One of the most Secure buildings in all of New York.”
Armani just looked at him, her expression blank as she tried to process the implications. “New York!!!” She screams. “How did I get here? I should be several hundred miles away from New York.”
She looked over at the other man, who had a striking resemblance to Captain America, suit and all. He too looked at her expectantly.
“I don’t know.” She began. ” I was out with my dog and then I was here. I was in Detroit. I have no clue how this happened.”
“Umm I think I’m going to be sick.” She moved to covered her mouth, but the second man was faster. He held a bucket out to her and held her hair back while she emptied her stomach’s contents.
Feeling a little bit skinnier, Armani looked up to see the door across the room. Through the door stepped a short man wearing glasses and a lab coat, and next to him… “Thor!” She screamed, delighted that her friend was okay.
"Thor you're ok!" She looked at her dog. The pup looked happy to see her and moved to jump on the bed and give her a kiss.

"Oh, so that’s what the dog is named, we’ve just been calling him dog." The other man.
She looked at them and then at her dog.
"Thor I don’t think we’re in Michigan anymore." She looked over to the man that she thought was dr. Banner, looking over to the other two, she really needed to see if this was really the MCU.
“ Hey Steve, can I talk to you for a minute?” Steve moved around and out the door that he came out of.
**************************
She looked up at what she hoped to be tony stark, god what the fuck is she going to say.
“ So kid, are you going to answer my question?” Tony asks, crossing his arms and looking at her.
“ I’m Armani Song, and I think that me and my dog are not Supposed to be here.” She looked at tony.
Tony looked at her and rolled his eyes. Getting up and getting her some water he put it in front of her. Hearing that her voice was extremely hoarse.
“Ok then Elsa then where are you supposed to be then?” He crossed his arms giving her a look. She was confused, one why was he calling her Elsa and did he know she was from a different world.
She looked at Thor. He was going to need to use the bathroom and he was going to be hungry. At this point she needs to play the game and play it right she needs to be careful. Everyone in the avengers are emotionally constipated and the last thing she needs to do is irritate any of them.
“ Why are you calling me Elsa?”
“ Your hair is white.”
She looked confused at him, her hair was not white it was brown and very boring.
She looked at him with a look. Her mother called it “ don’t fuck with me”.
Tony being a Smart man gave her some that she could see herself in, and he was right her hair was white and shit; her eyes were like a periwinkle color. She was very confused.
“ Umm ok will tonight be one of those nights.” She looked at Tony and took a Deep breath in and looked down at her hands before looking him directly in the eye.
“ What do you know about dimensional travel?'' Tony of course gave her a look.
“ Kid please, that is not theoretically possible.” He looked at her; she saw it in his eyes as he thought about it.
“ Yes in my world or my dimension, that is not possible but here I am.” This was it she needed to get him to Believe her.
“ Tony, I know you, I know all of you.”
“ Everyone knows we are the Avengers.” He got up and started to head to the door.
“I know how obadiah Stane died, i know what happened to you in the cave and i know about Yinsen.” She looked at the back of his head. He was just standing there looking at the door.
“I’m not just from a different world, I’m also from the future. I know how you die, I know who you loved and lost.” She looked down at Thor. He was looking at her with love in his eyes. She was not going to cry but if you looked up at him she knew that she was going to.
“ Tony, you lost it all but you saved the universe.”
She looked up at him , he was just looking at her with a blank expression. There it was. Shit if he doesn't Believe me then it’s game over…
“ Ok kid i'll believe you but I need to get the other and then we will see.” Tony walks out of the room. Leaving her there with Thor and all of her anxieties.
