from where to when

"...so whoever took her, blocked all her comms and that block wore off just now."

Everyone was sitting around the lab, staring at their phones. It was crazy. No one could find a way something like this could have happened. The blockade for messages wouldn't 'wear off' like a lousy spell or something, there had to be a logical reason to why the messages had only been delivered 40 hours or so after they had been sent.

"Maybe because she didn't have her phone with her. I tracked it. She left it in her locker in school."

They knew that Emma had often left her phone when she went on patrol but usually messages and phone calls worked just fine.

"What if the blockade had been active as long as she wore her suit. When her suit is deactivated the systems are a bit longer online than it takes the suit to retract into her shoes." The Russian spy didn't talk to anyone specific, just throwing anything that could help in the room.

"Which means her suit is no longer active…" Scott didn't know Emma that much or was close to the Avengers but he had still come over. He would want his teammates to do the same if Cassie ever went missing like this.

"Can you hack into her suit and try to activate it from here? I mean it's connected to her phone and the Avengers servers, right? They're both here…"

Tony turned around to the screen, opening a new window he started. "I'll only work if the housing isn't destroyed completely…"

The sound of the keyboard filled the silent room. Everyone was praying for this to work but also trying to think of other ways to use the messages to find Emma.

Ned stood in front of Midtown Tech. Usually one of his friends was here by now. Peter didn't pick up his phone and Emma's was dead. He didn't think much of it. After all Peter was Spider-Man and Emma lived together with the Avengers. Besides, it wasn't the first time they missed school.

Ned turned around and followed the crowd of students inside the building.

"No...nononononono...why isn't it connected? why...?" Tony stared at the screen.

No Connection. Why were bad guys nowadays smart enough to destroy the housing? How had they even known that her suit was nanotech? 

He tried another thing. If Nat was right, maybe he could follow the messages back and find her location. He started again.

After a few minutes he stopped again. Nothing. The only location he got was the one where the building in Queens had burned down. 

They tried a few other things for the next hours. But every time they found nothing. 

Soon Peter and Tony fell asleep in front of the screens. Exhaustion had finally gotten the better of them. Everyone left the lab, they didn't dare to move the two. 

The next day Peter and Tony woke up to Pepper and May standing in the lab. "I understand that you want to do something, I really do. But Pete, you can't skip school and stay up until your whole body shuts down. You need to rest."

The two women sat beside the heroes with worried expressions.

"You did everything you can. Let Fri do her thing and find Emma. You'll need all your energy once we know where she is…" 

Reluctantly Tony and Pepper walked upto the penthouse. In the kitchen Tony ate a bit but after that he immediately grabbed the first StarkPad he could get his hands on. He started to sketch and plan something. Even though he understood that right now there was nothing to do but wait, he couldn't just sit around and go on with his life. His notes were nearly as messy as Emma's, which made it nearly impossible for everyone to figure out what was going on in his mind.
