You are the boyfriend of captain America and black widow's son
Your eyes flutter open slowly, different shades of green swirling around you until your vision settles and you see you're lying on the forest floor. A warm body lies beneath you, and you turn your head to see your boyfriend, James, sound asleep next to you. Shaking your head to clear the dizziness, you sit up.
"James," you say, shaking his shoulder. "James, wake up."
After a couple of seconds, his blue eyes flutter open and he groans. "Where are we?"
You stand up and look around. "Hopefully 2015."
He pushes himself up and runs his hands through his blonde hair. He's a spitting image of his dad, but his blue eyes and his nose are more like Natasha's.
"It looks like we're near the base," he announces. You nod, recognizing the familiar forest. "We should get moving, we probably don't have a lot of time left," he adds.
He takes your hand and the two of you start walking in the direction you hope the base is in. "So, how do we know they'll believe us?" you ask.
"We don't," James replies, stepping over a log before helping you over. Even after dating him for a couple years now, you still blush.
"That's reassuring," you mutter as he sets you back down on your feet and you continue walking. "Let's hope your family doesn't kill us."
Suddenly, a loud, mechanized whooshing sound comes from your right, and you both turn your head to see Sam land a couple feet away, wings folding in and guns pointing at you.
James pushes you behind him and you yell, "Sam, it's us! Put the guns down!"
"I've never seen you before in my life."
"But you will," James yells. "We're from 2036, we came to warn you!"
Sam still doesn't put the guns down. "Why the hell would I believe that?"
"Look at him!" You yell. "His father is your leader."
Sam doesn't lower his guns, but he studies James. After a couple of seconds, his eyes widen. "Holy shit."
James sighs, relieved, and his arm relaxes around you as Sam says, "Come on, you two are coming with me."

Steve rubs his temples. "So, you're born next year and you're my son."
James nods. "Yours and Natasha's. You guys should've gotten married about a month ago if we got here on the date we were supposed to."
"And who's this?" Natasha asks.
James takes your hand and you smile at him. "This is my girlfriend, (y/n)." The couple nods.
"Let's get down to business," you say, leaning forward, "we probably don't have a lot of time left."
"Time?"
"We can only time travel for certain amounts of time," you explain, "and we already passed the normal time limit."
"Back in our time," James starts, "you guys are in a coma because an unknown person attacked the base on October 26, 2036. We still haven't found the attacker, but the poison is slowly working its way through your systems and–"
He stops abruptly, and you put your hand on his shoulder, watching tears well up in his blue eyes. "I can't lose my parents," he whispers.
Steve and Nat look at each other. "So, what do you want us to do?"
"Be ready on October 26, 2036," you say. "Be cautious and vigilant all day. And if nothing happens that day, be vigilant the next day too."
You look down at your hands and gasp to see they're gone. "James, we're leaving."
James nods at you and looks at his parents one more time. He smiles softly. "See you soon."
The last thing you see are Steve and Natasha's shocked faces before your world disappears in a stream of blurred colors. You hold James's hand throughout the whole transition, and, after a couple minutes, you shoot awake on the operating table you started on.
Wanda takes your shoulders as you gasp for breath. "Hey, it's okay, you're safe."
James jumps off of his table and takes your hand. He looks at Wanda. "My parents?"
She smiles. "They're fine. You did it."
