I'm having so much fun writing thi, but it is a work in progress and some characters are more developed than others
It's set in Earth-0927, it's like Earth-616 but it's more fantasy sci-fi then just sci-fi
The Avengers of 0927 are called SuperNova, and elite group of heroes who all set out on the same mission: Protect those who cannot fight for themselves.
The characters that I currently have:
Nicole Fulton (nick fury) who's the head of SuperNova(SN) She's this awesome, badass lesbian spy lady >:3
Tony Stark stays mostly the same but he more so focuses on harnessing magic through science
Stellian Rome (steve) is also essentially the same, but instead he's from the future and got thrown into the past, also, he's biomechanically enhanced, not with super soldier serum.
Bastian Barnes (bucky) was the same, from the future, now he's dating Atticus :] He knows a little magic and summons weapons :3
Atticus is Clint. He uses guns instead of bows and he's incapable of doing magic. So he's a sniper instead :D He's also transmasc!
Natalia Romanoff (natasha) is also kinda the same, the red room and stuff, but instead of training to be an assassin, they were trained to be sorcereresses >:3
Brooks Brenner (bruce) was a renowned female scientist, famous for her research on merging magic and science as one thing, but Stephanie got mad at this and cursed her to become Hulk when she showed to much emotion.
Stephanie Strange (stephen) is an extremely powerful sorcereress. She used to be in SuperNova but after a big fight about morals (basically civil war) she ends up leaving all together and basically becomes Thanos.
Loki is a little more expressive, chaotic good, and is more openly bi\genderfluid. He has a daughter named Hel, and three sons named Sleipnir, Jormungandr, and Fenrir. He's also in SuperNova :D
Thor is selfish and after Odin died, becomes a tyrant ruler of Asgard. He ends up dying and gets revived but without all his powers. So now he lives in the SuperNova Tower as this….weird powerless ghost
Elliot Emiliano (peter) is the spider man (spidergold) and became Loki's apprentice after what happened with Thor. He knows a tiny bit of magic but not much, only teleportation. (he's also based on my self insert lol)
S.S.: just a quick little blurb... Might add to the story. We'll see!

MASTERLIST
=============================
A soft melody floated down the hallway of my apartment complex. It was calming until I realized it was coming from my apartment. I racked my brain to try and remember if I had left it on before leaving for work this morning, but I recall removing the record that I had been playing.
My heart beat skipped, my anxiety peaked as I flipped open the knife on my keychain. I quietly turned the doorknob, pushing it open after realizing it wasn't locked anymore. My instincts kicked in as I snuck into my own apartment, checking around corners, using the few reflective surfaces that lined my walls to hopefully spot the intruder.
Suddenly the music stopped, the needle scratching against the record.
“I don't mean to intrude, but I need your help.” the unmistakable voice of the one and only Nick Fury.
“God damn it Fury. You can't just call like a normal person?” I ask turning the corner to see him face to face. He looked almost the same, maybe a few more wrinkles and a new eyepatch.
“You’re a hard person to contact.” he stated.
“Well, I didn't go off grid to be found, did I?” I replied rhetorically. “But here you are. What do you need?”
“Assistance.” his face showed regret, knowing that he was asking too much.
“I told you when I left that I was done with the hero act. No more missions. Not after last time.” I insisted.
“Just one more.” he said again, “I know I'm asking for a lot-”
“Too much.” I interrupted.
“I understand that but this is a life or death situation.” he pleaded. Knowing Nick Fury, he doesn't plead very often.
“Isn't every mission a life or death situation?” I asked.
“Just one more time.” He bargained, “One last mission and if you decide that you don't want to be in this line of work I will respect that. But I am desperate here.”
His face showed regret and despite his promise I knew that there would be another desperate plea, another mission that held the world in the balance.
“I’m sorry Nick.” My eyes found the floor as they filled with tears. “I just can’t.” My heart was beating out of my chest. I knew I was letting him down but I couldn't bring myself to say yes.
“I understand. I'm sorry that I bothered you.” His voice was full of sorrow and disappointment. He walked towards the door to let himself out. “I hope you know that we are still here for you if you need anything.”
I only hummed in response, knowing that I wouldn't be able to form any words. The sound of the door shutting softly sent relief through my body. The guilt still hanging tightly to my shoulders, a tear slipped from the corner of my eye.
I swiped it away and took a deep breath to try and shake off the guilt. I turned and followed his footsteps to my door, locking it and slipping my shoes off. I returned to my kitchen and noticed something on my counter.
A burner flip phone sat there with a piece of paper underneath.
‘If you reconsider.’ he knew me too well.
===================================
Hope you liked this quick little story. Let me know if I should continue the plot!
I don't really remember my movements, or how I ended up on the quinjet with Clint. I just remember Clint and I landing, then finding myself face to face with Fury, and boy was that a fight to remember.
"Agent Romanoff, Agent Barton. Welcome ba"
"How long?!" I angrily question the man, interrupting him.
"Listen.."
"No ! You answer the damn question!" I seethe, knowing he's dancing around it.
"A month."
"Are you kidding me?! Why did you wait so long to contact us?" I shout
"We've been sending agents, none have returned with her. The last set found evidence of Hydra's involvement."
"You should've called me! Us! Barton and I would've had her back within the day! Now you've waited so long, finding her will be so much more difficult."
"Agent Romanoff, this wasn't an Avengers level threat until the potential Hydra involvement." He says with a nonchalant tone as if Y/N's just some rookie agent. As if she's not the most important person here...
I shot daggers into him with how intense my glare is.
"Nick!" I seethe, knowing he hates to be called out of his title.
"If anything happened to her I will not forgive you! I was a SHIELD agent first, so when "Avenging" is not taking place, I'm more than available for lower end missions. If Barton and I don't get her back in one piece, I will not hesitate to kill you."
"Ditto!" Clint agrees, staring daggers of his own into Fury.
Y/N, Clint and I were the inseparable trio, so this clearly upsets him just as much.
~~~
"Hey Y/N/N!" Clint shouts as he approached us from behind. He jumped on her back and gave her a noogie, and in response she flipped him off of her and onto the ground with ease.
"Oomph... My back..." He whines
"Yeah! Well what about my hair?!" She giggles
She extended her hand out to help him up.
He groans and then turns to me.
"Natasha" he says with a nod.
"What's up Birdboy?" Y/N asks
"What do you two say to coming with me to the farm? Laura's been begging for some time with her favorite women! Also, Coop and Lyla miss you guys terribly."
Y/N and I locked eyes, knowing the answer is yes, but also wanting to tease ...
"What did you do?" I asked
"Wh-what do you mean? It's just that Laur and the kids miss you. Why do you assume I've done something ?"
"We can smell your fear Barton!" Y/N says with a straight face
He uncomfortably stares between us, scratching the back of his neck.
"Okay... I might've let our anniversary pass..."
"You forgot your anniversary?! You asshole!" Y/N shouts, while I slap him on his shoulder.
"Of course we have to save the day! You will be taking the next three missions I don't want, no questions asked!" I whine
"You just need to make sure Laura makes me her famous mac and cheese and has my cookies in the pantry." Y/N also states her demands.
"Go get us cleared with Fury for the weekend Barton, leave the fixing to us!" I state, shooing him away.
He scurried off, giving a thankful nod to us as he went.
"He's a hopeless idiot..." Y/N laughs out
"Yeah, but he's our hopeless idiot!" I quip back with a laugh back as we set off to save the day.
~~~
Fury nodded in understanding that Clint and I could take him out with ease.
"This is all the information you have?" Clint questions Fury with disdain in his tone.
"Correct. Keep in touch with Hill and I." He tries to command.
I scoffed
"We'll be focused on our rescue mission, the only updates you'll get will be when we return, and your fates decided." I bite back and make my way to the jet.
Clint and I landed in Russia, and settled into our safe house. We have our agents on standby for when we get her location pinpointed.
I called Stark in the hopes that he could help. He was able to track her comms to its last location. It's been a week since it was last online—we assume before it died, so he was able to pinpoint a general zone for us.
Hydra's not the type to stay in one zone, but they also aren't the type to run far. So after two days Clint and I had found a collection of abandoned warehouses and unclaimed land within fifty miles of the location.
"We set out tomorrow morning!" Clint asserts
"Yep!! The agents are at the ready."
Clint went to his cot, and I found my way to the kitchen. I couldn't sleep, so I sat in the kitchen drinking tea, and eating Y/N's favorite cookies...
~~~
"Where's Barton?!" Y/N shouts as she barges into my room.
Seriously, anyone else and I'd have killed them.
"Not sure, I also do not really care..."
I reply while reading my book.
Initially I didn't even glance up, but then I decided this could be fun. "Why?"
"He's dead is why! ... He ate the last of my cookies." She growls
I rolled my eyes in realization that my stories been ruined over stolen cookies.
"Y/N/N... You can just buy more cookies.." I whine
"Oh, I know! But I just got back from a mission, ready to relax, and now Birdboy must suffer the consequences of his actions." She growls
"Are you in?" She questions with a mischievous spark in her eyes.
I know this is petty, but everything around here has been slow, and the idea of Clint suffering is funny.
"I'm in!" I groan in response.
"So, what's the plan?"
"Oh. I hadn't gotten that far. I expected convincing you to take more time." She giggles
"Ugh... I have to do everything around here. Even plotting your revenge." I sigh
"You're the best Natty!" She grins and kisses my cheek.
"I know.."
So, the plan is Y/N stands by one end of the vents, blocking Clint from escaping. I'm at the other end throwing a nontoxic stink bomb in.
This will be fun...

After about two minutes of hearing him flail around and gagging Y/N chooses to abandon her post. She runs directly at me, and jumps into my arms, causing me to let my end go too so I can catch her. I spun her around in a tight hug, I stopped spinning to see Clint drop out, followed by a cloud of smoke.
Y/N dropped out of my arms, we locked eyes, and then we burst into fits of laughter while he lied there groaning.
Y/N and I waited for the smoke to dissipate before we walked over to help him up.
"That will teach you to never mess with my cookies again! Right?" Y/N says while gripping his shoulders intensely.
"Yes.." he whimpers then turns around, shouting back "They were absolutely delicious though!"
I then had to catch Y/N before she could chase him down, I basically saved his life...
I threw her over my shoulder, and carried her to my bike.
"Let's go get your cookies!" I groan out while handing her a helmet.
"You really are the best Natty!" She giggles while wrapping her arms around me, snuggling in close before I drive off.
~~~
I spent the whole night reliving all of our best memories. In doing so I realize how dumb I really was walking away that day. None of this would be happening if I hadn't.
"Ready to go?" Clint asks, pulling me from my thoughts.
"Let me just load my suit with my weapons!"
"Sounds good." .. "We'll get her back Nat! She's too stubborn to die." He sadly chuckles out
"Yeah! She really is." I agree almost finding myself reminiscing on all the old mission memories, but there's no time for that.
——
Three sets of agents have come up empty handed after making their ways through potential locations. Clint and I have as well. We're meeting in the middle, where there's two abandoned warehouses surrounding a lot of unclaimed land. This seemed most promising, which is why we decided to save it for when we were all together at once.
Agent Torres & Morris went into one abandoned warehouse, Clint and I went into the other—empty. Then as the eight of us advanced further towards the unclaimed land we stumbled upon a massive building. Nothing about this building screams abandoned, this is like the holy grail.
"You two take post outside. You two come with me, while you two follow Clint. Call out if you see anything suspicious. Let's get Agent Y/L/N back home."
Two minutes in and it's a shit show. Shots fired is all you hear. I left my more than capable agents to handle this warzone and I set off to find Y/N before they had a chance to take off with her.
I kicked in door after door, and as I began to lose patience and faith I heard a loud gasp. I skipped two doors down to where I heard the noise and I decided to slowly open this one instead of kicking it. I saw two Hydra goons, completely oblivious to what's taking place upstairs, towering over a figure tied to a chair.
Then I heard her voice.
"Look, Johnny, can I call you that? I don't have a single clue what the Avengers are up to!"
"Liar! You're one of them!"
"Ronny! You can't be this dense. I helped them once! I've told you this a thousand times. You guys suck at your jobs."
I couldn't help the laugh erupting from my throat. The goons turned to me, 'ready' to fight, idiots.
"Natty!" Y/N shouted
"Long time no see, kotenok" I laugh out
The goons went to charge me, but I used my widow bites rendering them both useless within five seconds.
"Pathetic."
I stepped over them and made my way to Y/N. I immediately looked her over, inspecting her for wounds.
"Natty, save this inspection for later. As much as I love to watch you fight, I'd like to keep the fighting to a minimum."
I nod, realizing we needed to get out.
"Clint, lower level! You and Torres come to help. The rest of you keep a clear path."
"You got her?" Clint questions, his voice raising up an octave or two, and I can envision the happy tears threatening to spill.
——
We got back to SHIELD's HQ.
Fury, Hill, and Cho were there to greet us.
"Agent Y/L/N! Welcome ba.." Fury tried to greet
"Get back! Cho, she's got obvious broken ribs, potential internal bleeding, and a slurry of cuts and bruises." I bark out
Y/N looked at me and sent me her best smile trying to reassure me. Cho took her off to work on her after I kissed her forehead.
"Agent Romanoff, your behaviors been abhorrent!"
"Yeah, yeah... If you ever think you can hide something like this from me again I'll end you. You're lucky, fate has granted you another day." I reply as I walk off towards the medical wing with Clint in tow.
"I'd cut your losses sir! You messed up, just accept it." Hill tells Fury
He should listen to her!
Cho informed us that Y/N would be okay, she'd just need to rest awhile. She stitched up a massive cut on her abdomen. Then she said she has three broken ribs that require bedrest. She placed a cast on her right hand for broken fingers. Clint called Laura and she immediately agreed that Y/N's coming back to the farm. Clint left to go get us all dinner from y/f/r. We're sure she'll be hungry, and also disappointed to be benched for who knows how long.
I felt a squeeze to my hand and I shot up with a glass of water in my hand.
"Drink!" I say as I shove the glass in her face.
"Thanks!" She giggles in response
Then it's silent, so much between us is left unsaid. We just had an intense staring contest.
"I missed you"-N ... "We should talk"-Y
We both blurt out at the same time.
"Yeah..." I say while looking down, losing all my confidence and preparing for the worst.
"Natty, look at me. I missed you too, terribly."
She paused briefly, then started talking.
"So, it's been awhile, let me give you an update. I came back after the battle confused, but within five minutes of being with Agent Lynn I knew it wasn't going to work. I told her what happened and she was sad, then angry, then she quit so I have no clue what next stage she went through. Oops. I realized I had buried my grief in losing you in her. Anyways, I wanted to call you, but I realized I needed to focus on me. You made me wait five years, I thought you could survive four months, well six but that wasn't my fault. I started to train more and accept more missions. I thought about you, and all we could be all the time. It was never a question of if there'd be an us, it was just a question of when. After four months I was ready, but then Fury sent me on a mission. Then I got found by Hydra, they weren't even on my radar, but because of NY I was on theirs. So, if the offer still stands, I'm all in Natty. I'll work at the NY SHIELD Base. I'll obviously have to talk to Fury. We can live in some off road house. It'll be 4bd, 2bth. One room for us, a room for your office, one for my collectibles, and a room for Clint to crash in during Avenging periods. Anything beyond that is a later conversation, no need to rush. Actually... I want two cats, non negotiable!" She rambles on, ending with her perfect smile, and a kiss to my knuckles.
"The offer was never going to expire Y/N/N. That's what forever meant! I understand you taking time for you, I just wish you like read a book or went to the beach. I know you love missions, but still... I'm sorry for confusing you, but I'm not sorry for fighting for us."
"I'll be the one to talk to Fury!" I growl out
She stares back at me amused, then she scoots over, tapping the spot beside her. I immediately climb in, adjusting myself carefully so that my arms behind her head, and I'm laying on my side facing her.
"Now, the living arrangement sounds perfect! For your recovery time we'll be staying at the farm. We can spend that time online, searching for our dream home. Also, I think that Avengers wouldn't be complete without you, so you might not even be with SHIELD much longer. That'll be perfect because we'd be on the same schedule, and I'd always be able to protect you..." I finish making sure I shift us closer, to get my point across.
"I'm getting ahead of myself, but I can't help it. I'm just so excited! I just love you so much and I can't wait to show you how true that is. " I squeal into her ear.
"I love you too! Now, please kiss me!"
"I" I whisper as I kiss her forehead
"Love" I continue to whisper as I kiss her nose
"You" I finish whispering as I land my lips onto hers in a sweet kiss.
"Ew! Get a room!" Clint whines in faux disgust, interrupting us before I could deepen the kiss.
"You're dead Barton!" I chuckle darkly as I get to my feet
"Run birdboy!" Y/N shouts
"Bu-but, I brought y/f/f!" Clint pleads, preparing to run for his life
"Baby... I say we let it slide just this once." Y/N pleadingly whispers
"Fine! Looks like fates on your side today as well Barton..." I concede, then snatch the bags of food out of his hand.
"Thank you guys for saving me." Y/N all but whispers as she shovels food into her mouth.
"Don't mention it, how many times has it been reversed?" Clint jokes, but is also telling the truth, that man can get himself cornered easily
"Always!" I coo, placing a kiss to her forehead
"Softie..." Clint whispers, and with that, Y/N could no longer save his life.
I chased him around the medical wing, while she continued eating, and laughing.
Sure, I wish I had loved her sooner, but I'm glad it wasn't too late...
For no particular reason, I just thought I'd share this pen-and-ink I drew a few years back. One of the first-ever Marvel comics I ever read --here redrawn to feature Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlet Johansson, and Simu Liu. (Fun fact: this issue literally guest-starred then-President Jimmy Carter.)
