Fandom(s): Animorphs and The Avengers
Rating: T (as according to ffnet)
Characters In Chapter: Tobias and Pepper Potts
Relationships: Tobias/Rachel Berenson (talked about, not shown)
Part of me thought that just flying around would send me back and another part of me thought that it was better that I explore this Avengers Dimension. Spending a lot of time as a hawk didn’t exactly give me time to binge watch on movies. However, Jake and I had watched some of the Avengers movies together. I think there was another term but I couldn’t remember it at the moment.
How was I supposed to think up the slightest complex thought
now?
Anyways, because of the movies I had learned the layout a
little bit. Knowing who was where and Ax had helped figure out how everything
functioned. Marco had helped my Shorm and I think it had to do with how much Ax
annoyed us with his discoveries.
Marco was a loyal friend, but an asshole at times.
So when I had flown around I had tried to connect pictures
and diagrams to what I saw below me. It helped that I was the scout of the
Animorphs so I had a lot of experience just looking at stuff. And since this
was the Avengers Dimension, there wouldn’t be a stray Controller that would
happen to look up at me.
Not that a planet that now knew aliens existed would brush
off something strange. But a random bird flying around making people think
something was up? Those people would probably still be the conspiracy theorists
that no one took seriously. At least an organization like S.H.I.E.L.D. or Hydra
wouldn’t pay too much attention to them.
I was getting even more hungry and figured that after over
an hour of flying around that I had scooped out the place as well as I could
for now. Maybe something else would appear and I could find a way home, but for
now I had to eat.
As I flew away from the city, acceptance of what had
happened finally came to me. Or at least how much I could stand to accept at
the moment. I wanted to see Rachel again but if I couldn’t…I guess she would
have to learn to carry on without me. I would have to learn to do the same
without her.
And, hey, what if I joined the Avengers? What if I convinced
them to let me join? I couldn’t fight off the Yeerks anymore, but at least I
could still be useful. Maybe getting myself something to do would make me feel
better.
I wouldn’t let this Earth fall under alien invasion. But
would the Avengers even accept me or just laugh me off?
I sighed in relief when I left the city behind me. I didn’t
really like cities nowadays as they weren’t good for hunting. Awesome for
thermals and hangout spots, but they weren’t any place I’d like to make my home
in.
If I ever returned home, and if we ever won the war, maybe I
could find a way to live in one if Rachel wanted to.
I had to remind myself to focus so that I could hunt
correctly. I would get lost in the hunt and find a little bit of peace. I
looked around for other predators who wouldn’t like a random hawk hunting on
their territory. I tried to think of what birds lived on the East Coast that
didn’t live on the West Coast. What birds would I have to be really worried
about and which ones could I just brush off?
Besides the birds of prey, there were also birds like crows
who never ceased to amaze me with how annoying they could be. Crows were like
the Marcos of the bird world. There were also small birds that if you got too
close to their nest they would attack you.
Rachel had found out the hard way that sometimes cute things
that wouldn’t harm you as a human could harm you in morph.
I looked down below and saw a decent sized rabbit, but as I
prepared to dive down to get it, another bird swooped down for the prey. I
didn’t squawk after the bird or chase it, I didn’t have the energy to spare.
Especially not right now.
I just watched as the bird flew away with the nice, plump
rabbit. After watching it go away I turned back to hunting. I finally found
some prey but was highly unsuccessful at catching it. I dove down but I always
did so a few seconds too late. What was wrong with me?
If I couldn’t hunt then I couldn’t…no, I guess I could stop
by a McDonald’s and get something. Of course then I would have to come up with
some money. Though that would be easier than trying to hunt prey that I
couldn’t catch.
I turned my hunting towards areas that had some fast food
places. Maybe I could just steal something through the drive through. While my
reflexes seemed to have gone to hell, they couldn’t have been that bad as to
not be able to outmaneuver a human.
Looking down I saw a car, a fancy one, driving down the
road. Suddenly it pulled over and a woman got out of it, yelling at the car. I
laughed, not thinking that she could hear me, and suddenly I realized who she
was.
Okay, so she hadn’t been my favorite character in the
series. When you have Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr. in a series, can you
really concentrate on anyone else? Okay, Scarlett Johanson, but that’s only
because her Black Widow reminds me of Rachel.
Below me was Pepper Potts, a strong woman in her own rights who
had saved Tony Stark’s ass in the third Iron Man film.
I found a place where I could morph human without her
noticing. I morphed as fast as I could so I would have enough time with her as
I needed to. I walked to her with my hands raised, trying to appear as innocent
as possible, and she looked at me.
Pepper had been a few seconds away from calling someone.
