Summary: Time traveling and saving the universe can go right, but it can also go horribly wrong...
A scream escaped Alenas lips.
She looked around, desperately trying to get sight of her parents.
,,Mama? Dad?"
The 14 year old yelled, tears forming in her eyes.
She saw them running into a wakandian forrest just minutes earlier.
Alena had stayed behind on the battle field along with Peter, Tony and many others.
,,Light?"
Peters voice whispered faintly behind her.
,,Peter? What's wrong, Peter talk to me"
She responded.
Peter looked pale. He stumbled towards her.
Alena caught him.
,,Tony? Anyone, help, Peter's collapsing"
The 14 year old panicked. She had a tight grip on Peter, as if he was gonna turn to dust.
Little did she know this was excatly what was about to happen.
,,Light, Alena, I-I don't wanna go"
Peter stammered, his arms tightly clutched around Alenas waist.
Tony landed beside the two teens.
,,Mini Romanoff, Kid, are you alright?"
He asked, a concerned tone lingering in his voice.
Peter let go of Alena. He fell into Tony's arms now.
,,Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good"
He whispered, hardly audible.
Tony held the boy, while Alena watched the environment around them.
People were quite literally turning to dust.
,,No, Tony, Tony look, people are-"
The 14 year old stammered, overwhelmed.
Her eyes widened as she saw Peter fading into the air.
,,Peter? Peter no, no, this is not good"
Alena rambled, slowing sinking to the ground.
Tony turned his attention to the redhead now.
,,Hey kid, there's nothing you could've done. Sorry"
He sighed with an unconvincing, forced smile.
Alenas head suddenly shot up into the air again.
,,My Mom, my dad. I-I need to find them. What if they got snapped?"
She stammered, pulling herself up from the ground.
,,Мало света? Алена? Где ты? (Little light? Alena? Where are you?)"
Natashas voice bellowed. There was great fear lingering in it.
,,Alena, where are you? Honey, I think she got snapped"
Steve's voice rang after hers.
,,Mama? Dad? I'm here, я в порядке (I'm alright)"
Alena yelled, as loud as her lungs allowed her to.
,,Oh god, Alena, Ты жив, я так тебя люблю, мой маленький свет (you're alive, you're alright, my little light)"
Natasha sighed, as she embraced her daughter.
,,Mama, Mama I'm so glad you're here"
Alena sobbed, buring her face in her Mom's shoulder.
Natasha cupped the 14 year olds face, kissing it and hugging her even tighter.
,,Oh my god, you're still here. I thought I lost you, little light"
Steve finally sighed, embracing his daughter as well.
,,I-we lost Peter. He's gone"
Alena sobbed. Now that the initial shock was over, realisation hit her.
,,Shh, its gonna be alright"
Both parents soothed. They knew that this must all be traumatising for their 14 year old daughter.
5 years later
Nothing was the same in the Romanoff-Rogers household, or anywhere actually.
Alena was lucky enough to still have both her parents. None of them got snapped.
But, she lost Peter. Her best friend since first grade, up and gone one second to the next.
It wasn't only Peter though. Yelena, Dr. Strange, Wanda, Bucky, Sam, Maria, Fury and so many more.
The remaining Avengers split after all this happened.
Tony was god knows where, probably somewhere far away with Pepper.
Clint was in the city, but Natasha refused to tell the now 19 year old where and what he was doing. She only knew that his family got snapped.
Thor was somewhere down at the coast, in a place called 'New Asgard' since Asgard had been destroyed.
Bruce. Alena didn't know where he was. Probably hiding somewhere calm as well.
The only two Avengers who actually stayed together were her parents.
The family was still in Alenas childhood apartment, down the street from the former Avengers compound.
,,Alena, Steve, to the kitchen, right now"
Alena heard her Mom calling, causing her to be ripped out of her reminiscing thoughts.
The 19 year old got off her bed and closed the door to her room.
,,Coming Mama"
She yelled through the apartment.
Once she arrived, she noticed her mothers serious expression on her face.
Her father was standing over at a kitchen isle.
,,Pack your bags, were going to the compound upstate. We found a way to undo the blip"
Natasha explained bluntly, as if it was the most normal thing on the planet.
,,Excuse me what? How, when, why didn't you do this sooner"
Alena asked, her brain unable to process the newfound information.
,,No time for questions, свет (light). It's mad complicated"
The older redhead explained sternly.
...
The family of three arrived at a big, modern, ware house looking building. The new Avengers facility that Tony had build before the blip happened.
When their car came to a hold, Alena was the first to get out.
She wanted to get the blip undone as fast as possible. She wanted everyone back.
Her parents followed her quickly, at least Natasha did.
Steve stayed outside for another minute before making his way into the new compound as well.
Alena scanned the room she walked into. She recognised Bruce, but he looked different.
It was as if he somehow managed to combine Hulk and himself.
,,Alena? Is it you?"
She suddenly heard a familiar voice ask.
The voice turned out to belong to Clint.
The redhead whipped her head around, so she faced him.
,,Clint! Hey, I thought you were down in the city"
She smiled, running to hug him.
Clint hugged her back, cupped her face, looked at her, scanning her face.
,,You grew up, little light"
He sighed, a smile playing around his lips.
Alena gave him a smile.
,,You just grew old. A whole lot of grey hair you got there"
She teased, a mischievous grin on her face.
,,Ahh, cut it out, Mini Romanoff"
The man grinned as he ruffled her hair.
Alena gave a frown, before she turned her attention to a big, sci-fi looking machine.
,,Whoa that's cool. Is that the time machine?"
The 19 year old marvelled.
,,Yup, don't touch it, kid"
A man asked.
Alena recognised him as Scott Lang.
The two of them had briefly met back in 2016, when the avengers split into two teams.
,,Hello Antman"
The 19 year old greeted him, crossing her arms.
,,Wait, Alena? You grew a lot since we last met"
Scott noticed. Similar to Clint, he scanned her face with his eyes.
,,No wonder, I was 11. Did you build this?"
The redhead asked, pointing to the machine behind her.
,,Bruce did actually. Its an immortality machine, I think. We haven't tested it properly yet"
Scott explained.
,,Ahh, alright"
Alena responded, before she walked around the ware house to greet everyone else there.
A/N: Okay, this isn't really any time travel yet, but I think I will get this done in like one more part. I didn't want this to get too long, sooo yea, this is all you're getting today. (Also I'm not really ready to write yk, that part...)
Anyways, hope you had fun with this one, stay amazing and see you around, bye :)
