Chapter Seven

Luke's P.O.V

As we walked to where ever Fury was leading me and my older self to where ever, I took in the hellicarrier. It was basically the same, except it not a bit more full. Fury told me that this was the main base of operations and that since most of the other hellicarriers had to be used as refugee camps (Safely off the ground) most of the agents lived here. I silently wondered what had happened to the rest of the team. And was honestly a bit scared to find out...Peter was alive, I'd heard my older self talking to him before. But what about Danny, Ava and Sam?

As we rounded a corner Fury stopped when a small girl, about seven, with golden blonde hair and brown eyes with flecks of green in them tugged at the end of his long coat. What was a kid doing here anyway? I thought that there weren't any civilians here. And it was a bit weird that a small seven year old girl, was tugging at the coat of a man whom even I at times found terrifying.

I resisted the urge to let my jaw drop open as Fury smiled down at the little girl. "Hello Difector Fury!" she said brightly, Difector? Sure she was still little but had she just called the director of S.H.I.E.L.D difector?

Fury's smile didn't waver as he answered. "Hello Sheara," he said kindly. Ok, it was an apocalypse, and the girl was a sweet kid, so I guess everyone could appreciate sweetness at times like these...

"Are my mommy and Daddy coming back soon?" She asked innocently. "In a bit, they should be here in three hours. Why don't you let you uncle Luke take you back to the nursery huh?" she looked over at me and older me and then back at Fury. "Which one? And why are there two?" she asked. "It's a long story, and we'll tell you when you're older," he said, motioning for older me to take charge of the situation. "C'mon Sheara, let's go see what Ben and May are doing," with that he led her away.

"Who was that" I asked after older me and Sheara had disappeared down the corner. Ignoring my question Fury just kept walking. As we walked I couldn't help but wonder if I wasn't as freaked out as I should have been with the whole situation. I mean...I WAS IN THE POSSIBLE BLOODY ZOMBIE DOMINATED FUTURE FOR PETE'S SAKE!!!

********

After I had eventually gotten the idea that Loki, god of mischief, the guy who had destroyed the city a couple of years ago and still caused trouble for me and the rest of the team was actually good, and had been doing the latter bit to keep to a magical contract he'd sighed with his other daughter Hel, to reincarnate his first daughter Freya, whom he'd had with Natasha Romanov AKA the black widow, who happened to be half of practically everything in the freaking nine reals, a few thousand years ago...and the fact that they'd had another daughter this century, who had gone from an infant, along with her reincarnated sister to a fully grown woman in less than a decade, had told me that I'd been transported here by 'fate', (which once happened to be a person until he transcended to a cosmic force that makes everything happen for a reason) or rather, one of 'Fate's' servants. 

And yeah, I know that whole damd thing made a whole load of sense....

NOT!!!

No actually, it...kind of did. Sorta...

Esmeralda, Loki and agent Romanov's second daughter, had told me that since Fate had brought me here for a reason, I'd just have to live with it until Fate thought that I'd fulfilled whatever purpose it'd sent me here for, and until it sent me back to my time and universe.

So basically...Great. (Note Sarcasm)

I was expecting to be stuck there for months, years even...but I'd actually been there may be less than two days...
