Adopted By The Avengers

5 years

I climb into the helicopter. Today I'm traveling to a couple of countries to create shelters for the kids without parents to live in.

I start up the helicopter and take off in the direction of Greenland. I look down at the water beneath me since I'm flying close to the water, a decision I would learn to regret.

I whale comes out of the water hitting the helicopter. I feel the cold water surrounding me as I struggle to stay conscious.

Steve's POV

Jackie was supposed to come back yesterday. We've been searching for her since 10pm last night.

"She's gone." I say sitting down.

"She's got to be somewhere. She's strong she's okay." Natasha says.

Tony's POV

I create another video for Pepper. Air runs out tomorrow I just wish we would have won.

I close my eyes.

I open my eyes to see a bright light getting closer and closer when all of the sudden in the light I see a woman.

She flies under the ship and it starts moving to Earth.

We make it to Earth and I'm met by Steve and Pepper.

"She's gone." Pepper says holding me as if she'll never see me again.

"Who?" I ask worried.

"Jackie, She's gone." Pepper says burying her face in my neck.

"She faded away?" I ask and she looks at me.

"No. She went to another country to help. She was supposed to come back weeks ago, she's gone." Pepper says looking down at the ground.

Time skip five years(still Tony's POV)

"Daddy!" Morgan shouts running up to me.

"Yes pumpkin?" I ask.

"What if Jackie was frozen in the ocean like Uncle Steve?" Morgan asks.

I told Morgan about the other Avengers and about Jackie. Morgan normally tells me it will be alright but this time I think she's on to something.

I pick her up and go inside. I take her to my office and set her down in a chair.

"Friday pull up news about all helicopter crashes in the past six years." I say.

Friday pulls them up like I asked.

"Get rid of all the ones that weren't anywhere near cold waters." I say.

She does as I say leaving only five reports left.

Helicopter crashed near Antarctica. No she wouldn't go there.

Helicopter crashes in Alaska. No that's not a different country.

Helicopter crashes with Titanic. No that's in the middle of the ocean.

Helicopter runs into plane over the pacific. No she would have seen that.

Helicopter crashes by whale. Maybe.

I pull up the article to see that a helicopter flying close to the water on the way to Greenland was hit by a whale as it was next to Canada. The pilot was the only person on the helicopter and was announced dead after a week of searching.

"Pepper I'll be home in about a week!" I shout walking out of the house and getting in my car.

I drive to the beach where the crash happened. I put on scuba gear, grab the stuff they used to get Cap, and got on a boat.

I reach the crash sight and I dive into the water. I find the helicopter half of it being frozen. I look into it to see Jackie completely frozen.

I start working on getting her out.

Steve's POV

We arrive at Tony's house. Pepper walks out.

"I don't know where Tony is. He said he would be home in about a week as he ran out the door." Pepper says.

"Do you know where he might have went?" Natasha asks from beside me.

Pepper shakes my head and I nod before we get back in the car leaving.

Jackie's POV

I wake up shivering. The only thing I remember is being surrounded by cold water as it filled my lungs. I look around and see a man who I recognize as Tony.

"Tony?" I ask.

He turns his head to look at me.

"Oh thank goodness your alright." He says engulfing me in a hug.

"How am I Alive?" I ask confused.

"You were frozen." He answers.

After the doctors made sure I was okay me and Tony made our way to his house.

"But Tony I live at the compound." I say.

"Jackie you've been frozen for five years. Everyone thinks you're dead. I have a daughter who would love to meet the girl I'm always trying to find. Besides she's the one who thought maybe you were frozen." Tony says.

I nod as we pull up to a lake house. Tony gets out of the car and picks up a little girl.

I step out of the car and everyone looks at me.

"Who's that?" The little girl asks.

"Jackie?" Pepper asks.

I nod hugging Pepper.

"Is that Jackie?" The girl asks.

"Yep. And who are you?" I ask.

"I'm Morgan." She says smiling.

"Oh my gosh." I say my smile dropping.

"What? What's wrong?" Tony and Pepper ask.

"When I went under I had been taking care of a little girl. Nat and Steve were taking care of her. You have to take me to the compound." I say.

Tony nods and we get back in the car.

We arrive at the compound and Steve and Nat walk out with Lily who is no long the little nine year old girl I was taking care of. Tony steps out before me.

I get out and Lily turns looking at me.

"Jackie!" She shouts running over and hugging me.

Nat and Steve both turn their heads to look at us realizing I'm alive.

"Jackie?" They ask as me and Lily break away from our hug.

I run over to them hugging them. We walk inside and the start talking about time travel.

"I got my second chance. I'm not gonna mess this up." Tony says.

"Jackie?" Nat asks looking to me.

"I mean it feels like the war just ended. I'm in, because Lily used to tell me about her mother and I want Lily to see her again." I say and they nod.

Tony leaves and they go to see Bruce. I walk into the office and look at the papers. Clint is missing and there is an assassin killing people with his first shot.

It's Clint. Wow everything is really bad. Nat, Steve, Bruce/Hulk, And Scott return.

The guys get to work.

"I'm going to go find Clint." Nat says.

"Then I'm coming with you." I say.
