***New Avengers Facility, Front Gate***

A small minivan approached the gate and stopped a few feet away from it.

The passenger side door opened and out walked a young woman in her mid 20's and then the driver-side door with a man in his 50's stepping out.

"Hello! Is anyone in there?!" The girl called out at the security camera.

***Kitchen***

Pepper and Betty were talking over a cup of coffee when a ping came in on the security cameras.

Betty got up from her seat and walked over to the screen.

"Someone's at the front gate." She said.

"Is it Tony?!" Pepper asked, anxiety slightly apparent in his voice.

"I don't think so, I don't see him. You expecting anyone?"

"Other than Tony, not really."

***Common Room***

Bruce came in with a short-sleeved gray shirt and black jeans. "What's going on?"

"Someone's at the front gate." Betty replied.

He came over and looked at the live feed and almost immediately recognized them.

"You know them?"

"That's Eric Selvig and Darcy Lewis!" Bruce exclaimed unbelievingly. He remembered the stories Thor would tell of Erik, Darcy, and Jane Foster. Now, they were here. "Let 'em in!"

So after the two finally came onto the premises, the Doctor and the Intern walked in and joined the group with James and Nikki on a couch with Korg and Miek next to them reading comic books.

"Dr. Selvig," Bruce greeted as he approached first and shook his fellow doctor's hand.

"Ah please, just Erik, Dr. Banner." He replied, looking like he'd seen a ghost, but still shook Bruce's hand back.

Understanding, Bruce nodded and returned the courtesy by saying, "Bruce. Good to see you again, sir. What's wrong?"

"We need to talk to Thor." Darcy jumped in and replied. "Where is he?"

"Uh..." Bruce looked to Pepper and Betty, unsure of what to say at the current moment.

Pepper may not have know either, but she did know that whatever was about to be said didn't need to be heard by younger ears.

Turning to the group on the crouches, she called out, "Korg, could you take the kids outside for a minute, please?"

The Kronan was slightly confused, but given the look that Pepper gave him, it must've been something they didn't need to know or hear. So he complied.

"Sure!" He replied, picking up Miek as he stood. "Come on guys, we can play catch with Miek! You'd be surprised how light he can be."

Erik and Darcy were shocked by the sight of Korg and Miek, but not entirely scared on account of what they've seen throughout the years.

"Was...was that guy made of rocks and was that a giant purple cockroach in his arm?" Darcy asked.

Bruce turned towards them and shrugged. "Yes, and...I think, I don't know to be honest."
