From the sky
She landed with a heavy thump, and sat up gingerly taking in her surroundings. However, before she could make out anything more than cloudy grey skies, a voice rang out, "Stop, on your knees, hands behind your head." She glanced around, and saw a red and gold robot-man-thing, who appeared to be the one who had spoken. Carefully, she moved to obey, as the man seemed to be holding a weapon directed at them. A quick glance to her right showed Five- also moving to obey the order- and beside him were Diego and Luther. In front of them, sprawled on the ground, still unconscious, was Vanya. On her right, Klaus had obeyed the order, and next to him was...Ben? She let out a small gasp, "Ben?" All heads turned to Ben, even Five's. They all had a moment of joy at the sight of their supposedly dead brother, but it was short lived. A man standing next to robot-man ,wearing a red, white, and blue outfit that appeared to be modelled on the American flag, spoke up, "Who are you and what do you want?"
"Who are you? Are you commission?" Five's voice was the same as it always was: accusatory and grumpy, however Allison could detect a note of fear that only someone who knew him well would see.
"We're the Avengers," Robot-man had spoken again, "your turn"
"The Umbrella Academy. What are the Avengers?"
The two men looked at each other, and Allison noticed a women and another man behind them, both wearing black, one holding bow and arrows, the other holding two guns. "Where are you from?"
"New York... well... not technically but we were raised there soo..." Klaus' voice trailed off at a look from Five. "Your from earth?" Robot-man seemed to relax a bit from that. "Yes. What year is it?"
"Uhh, 2021?"
"Shit." Five appeared to be deep in thought when the woman spoke up, "As lovely as this is, boys, I think we are missing two quite vital questions: Why did you just appear out of a portal, and is she okay?" She gestured to Vanya, who was still unconscious."She'll be fine. She just passed out," Five hissed, "And it's a long story."
"I got time," the woman smirked.
Five grinned, "I'll answer yours if you answer mine; who is the president of the USA?"
The woman looked slightly confused, but answered, "Matthew Ellis."
"Who?" Allison asked
"Matthew Ellis- have you been living under a rock?"
"Five? Where the hell did you take us?"
"I dont know. It's possible that I..."
"That you what" Diego snapped.
"When I took us back to avoid the apocalypse, my powers must have been thrown off by the amount of people I was carrying with me," Five took a deep breathe, "And I may have transported us to an alternative universe."
They all looked shocked at that, and robot-man spoke, "Look, as long as we know your not a threat, we will accommodate you. Your sister needs medical attention, and you have some explaining to do."
Allison stroked Vanyas hand as she slept, in deep thought. Five had said they were in a different universe. They were in their sixteen year old bodies, and Ben was alive. A doctor- Dr Banner- had said Vanya was fine, and should wake up soon. Klaus was sitting on a chair- Ben leaning against it- head in his hands, clearly suffering. Diego was slumped on the sofa, twirling his knife in his hands, looking thoughtfully out the window. Five was pacing. He did a lot of that. Luther was sitting on the sofa too, slightly hunched over.
The door opened, and the woman- Natasha- walked in, "Dinner's ready. You'll get to meet the others. There are two your age, their on patrol though. Should be back before dessert, or Tony will have words," She smirked, and lead them down a flight of stairs, "FRIDAY will notify us if your sister wakes up."
"Who's FRIDAY?"
"The A.I. Tony built her."
The dinner table was large, and set for thirteen. Six people were already there, and Natasha introduced them, "This," she said, turning towards a man wearing an AC/DC shirt, "Is Tony- the guy in the weird red and gold suit," Tony turned and waved, before going back to his conversation with a man in a red cloak, "That, is his boyfriend, Stephen Strange," the guy waved, "Next to them is Bruce, Dr Banner. And next to him is Thor," Bruce gave a shy wave, while Thor said a hello, "that's Clint, you know him, and next to him are Steve and Bucky- the second cutest couple in the team," she grinned, and Steve rolled his eyes, but smiled, "finally, there is Maria Hill, the other half of the number one cutest couple in the team," Maria, a scary looking blue eyed, brown haired woman, laughed as Natasha took her place next to her. They stood nervously, unsure of where to sit, until Tony spoke, "Sit wherever you want, no seating plan," they all sat down apart from Ben, who made to lean against the wall, until Klaus grabbed his arm, dragging him to sit down, "Did you just forget your alive?" Klaus laughed, and the others gave them all perplexed looks. "What do you mean 'forgot he was alive'?" Clint questioned. Ben smiled, sitting down, "Long story," he still looked pretty dazed, and Five thought it best if they kept the attention off of him, so he spoke, "We can get to that later, you still havent explained who you are and what you do," Tony glanced at Steve, before answering, "We are... earths protectors... the front line, anything that threatens this little old planet goes through us." He nodded, "So... you can all do things... powered and stuff?"
"Well... some if us... what about you?"
"We were all born spontaneously from different mothers around the world, and our father bought us, because we were special, born with powers," Diego grimaced, "I can direct anything I throw, mainly knives, Luther," he pointed towards Luther, "has super strength, Allison," he touched Allison on the arm, "is very... persuasive, Ben has a monster inside of him with all these weird tentacle things, Five," he jerked his thumb towards Five, "can teleport through space and time, Vanya.. well we dont really know what to call it- that's another thing for later- but she's pretty powerful, and Klaus," he glanced at Klaus, who's knuckles were white, and face was sweaty, "can communicate with the dead."
"Wow"
"Yeah"
Klaus stood up abruptly, and wandered towards the door, Ben followed him. Klaus, however, didn't walk through the door, instead he muttered something and shook his head. "Uh is he ok?" Tony looked mildly concerned.
"Yeah, he sees every dead person. Hears them. I think you have a lot of ghosts."
"What?!" Tony looked shocked, and Ben elaborated, "When you die, you can either go... on, or stay. What Diego means is a lot of people who decided to stay decided to stay with you."
"Not that reassuring. Do you want to take him somewhere quieter?"
"Yes, thanks." Klaus and Ben left, in the direction of Vanyas room. Tony watched their retreating backs, and turned to the others, "He can see everyone?"
"When he's sober, yes." Allison smiled slightly.
"Is he often sober?"
"He's been clean for two weeks" Diego noticed the undertone of pride in Five's voice, and smiled. Tony just nodded, and went back to his meal. They made small talk after that, until the door banged open, and a boy walked in, limping slightly. "Hey, kid"
"Hi Mr Stark," the boy walked over to the kitchen, and served himself an abnormal amount of food, sitting down. He didn't appear to notice the kids, until Tony cleared his throat, "Kid."
"Mmhmm?" They boy looked up, and noticed the new people, "Oh, er, hi..I'm uh Peter Parker."
"Diego"
"Luther"
"Allison"
"Five"
"Hi... not to be rude but, erm, who are you?"
"Kid, they came from that portal. They're from earth, just not this one"
"Wow. So like and alternate universe? That's so cool, it would confirm the multi verse theory and open up new opportunities for science that's insane..."
"Yeah, it is. Though it also puts things into a greater perspective, making us even more insignificant and the opportunity to explore universes could even be possible." Fives voice betrayed a hint of excitement.
"Ok you guys can go do all the sciencey stuff in the labs tomorrow or whatever, Peter, where's Wanda?" Clint turned to Peter.
"Oh, shes resting. She's a bit shaken."
"What happened?"
"Some creep tried to put his hand up her skirt, but she kicked him in the balls before anything happened."
"That's my girl, I'll go check on her." Clint stood up, and walked out. "I'll bring up some food when I'm done," Nat called after him, and he gave her a thumbs up. Just then, a voice rang out, "Miss Hargreeves has woken up, sir"
"Thanks, Fri."
"What was that?" Luther frowned slightly, looking around.
"FRIDAY, dont worry. Wanna go see your sister?"
"I'll take them," Maria smiled at the kids, and led them to Vanyas room. Steve and Bucky muttered something about training, and Nat got some food to take up to Wanda. Bruce and Thor said something about a movie, and left the room, leaving Stephen, Tony and Peter. "So, kid. How was school?" Stephen loved hearing about Peter's day; the boy always babbled in the cutest way. "Oh it was great, we had a math test and I did pretty well, though we did have sports which I hate because I have to hide my strength. Science was fun though, we did an experiment and blew up one of the rooms. That was cool."
"Was it you specifically who blew up the room?"
"No. I dont think so..." Peter trailed off, trying to remember who did it, and Stephen smiled, turning to Tony, "I have to get back to the institute, let them know the portal wasnt anything to worry about. I'll be back before midnight and with that, he kissed Tony on the cheek and left via portal. "Right, kid, bed time."
"But it's Friday."
"Doesn't matter, you've barely gotten any sleep this week, and Clints kids are coming over so you need to be well rested."
"Fine." Peter left the room, and Tony decided to turn in, too. It had been a crazy day. They would unpack it all tomorrow.
