So I was supposed to write an AU Romanogers fanfic but ended up doing this kind of fanfic instead.

I kinda wondered what it's like to have Steve and Nat's children sent back to the past. And yes, I just also happened to be obsessed with the time traveling thing and all that.

Before you read this though, I'm just going to remind you all again that this fic is not related to any of the other romanogers fanfic I've written.

Which means it's NOT a sequel to Agent Romanoff or Against All Odds. This is an entirely different AU fanfic from these.

Hope you enjoy reading it!

"This sucks."

"Well, it's your fault for keeping your homework to the last minute. So stop complaining!"

"But it's a field trip to the woods! They do it just once in every four years!"

"Shut up and finish your biology essay, James!"

The seventeen-year-old boy groaned in annoyance, running a hand through his sandy-blonde hair in the process. He banged his head on his desk, making his sister jump in surprise. After a while, he looked back up to see her with a not so amused look on her face.

Her striking-blue orbs glared at him in intensity. With a sigh, he turned back to his desk and began writing, taking a peek at his biology book every now and then.

The red-haired girl rolled her eyes at her brother's antics. She pulled out her phone and busied herself with its apps. The two siblings sat silently in the detention room when a videotape of a certain star-spangled man started to play on the screen.

He had a look of disapproval on his face and spoke as if he was directly talking to them through the TV screen.

"So, you got detention?" The voice of Captain America had caught both of the siblings' attention. "You screwed up and you know what you did was wrong."

"Didn't know they still play this thing till now," James voiced out, still scribbling on the piece of paper.

Allie continued to watch the tape, "I still feel weird seeing dad on a screen though."

"I feel weird seeing him in that suit. It looks like a drawing taken out straight from a comic strip." He tried to hold back his laughter.

"At least we know his fashion sense improved tremendously," Allie said with a smile.

"Yeah, thanks to mom and Uncle Tony." he mused, before deciding to divert the topic to a new one, "Hey Als,"

"Hm?" she hummed.

"I know dad signed your consent form and agreed to it. So why didn't you go with the rest?" James asked curiously.

"To keep an eye on you duh." she deadpanned.

"I'm perfectly fine with you not breathing on my neck every minute."

She sunk back in her seat, "Well too bad you're stuck with me then. I stayed to make sure you finish it. Mom and dad won't be happy to hear you choose camping over homework."

James blanched. It is true though, their parents were very strict when it comes to their education. Well, being the children of two superheroes, they believe homework is nothing compared to what they do for a living. He was damn sure that his dad wouldn't have it if he put his personal interests first before his responsibilities, same with his mom. They would always him and Allie that.

And Allie...

His sister was two years younger than him. He didn't want to admit it but sometimes she acts more maturely than him at most times. She would mostly be the one to remind him that he needed this and that for a certain school project, or she'd tell him to not forget feed the fish before leaving.

Almost all the time, James would see their mom in her— yet he highly doubts she sees their dad in him.

Then a sudden thought clouded his mind. He remembered Allie telling him how excited she was to go camping with the rest of the class. She heard a lot of rumors from Torunn, Francis, and Azari, of how cool it was to sneak into the woods at night. That's the reason why she was jumping in glee when their dad and mom signed the consent forms. She wanted to go to the field trip more than anything and yet...

With that thought in mind, his expression turned to one full of guilt. He swallowed the lump in his throat, quickly took his pen and started writing again without any more complaints or daydreaming.

Allie smiled softly and simply watched his father's silly tape in silence.

Finally, after a struggling fifteen minutes— he was done. James released a sigh of relief and dropped his pen, cracking his knuckles.

Allie snatched the paper from him and started to read its content. Her brother rubbed his eyes tiredly, before glancing at her. After a while, she handed it back to him and nodded approvingly, "Good job. No grammar mistakes."

"Really? Not one?" his eyes twinkled in amazement.

She shook her head in response. With a triumphant grin, James stood up and started to clean his things. He held the book and essay firmly in his grasp before arranging his chair properly.

"I just need to put this on Mr. Hewbert's desk in the lab. Do you want to wait here or come with me?" he asked.

Allie stood up as well, swinging her backpack on her shoulder, "I'll come." She glanced back at the TV screen with a silly smile, "See you later, dad."

Captain America continued to play its tape, repeatedly telling them about the consequences of detention. James shook his head in amusement, "Come on, Als." He waved at the screen, "Bye dad!"

The two siblings went off and proceeded to the Science lab. James lead the way as he knew a lot of shortcuts in the school than her. Allie, seemingly impressed, taunted him how it explains the fact that he would never be late to their classes even though he woke up later than her.

James placed his essay on top of his teacher's desk and put the thick book back on the shelves. "Okay, I'm done let's go—" He paused when he saw his sister fiddling with something at the back of the room, "Allie?"

"Yeah?" she echoed, yet not glancing at him.

The blonde slowly walked over to her, curious at what caught her attention. His eyebrows furrowed at the sight of a weird-looking device. It had a circular object in the middle — one that they were sure was similar to the portals they see in Sci-Fi movies, and two buttons on the side of it. Beneath all of it was a blank plate.

Allie stared at it both in amazement and curiosity. She ran her thumb along the device, to which James caught her wrist to stop her.

"Allie stop!" he exclaimed.

"What? It looks completely harmless."

"Yeah for now," he snorted, "Come on, let's just go home."

"Don't be such a scaredy-cat. Nothing's going to happen," she said nonchalantly.

James shot her a glare, his bright-green eyes narrowed in intensity. This was the reason they often fight. Allie may be mature enough for her age but she always lets her curiosity get the best of her. In contrast to him, he may slack off sometimes, but he never dares meddle with something beyond his knowledge.

A trait that he acquired from his dad.

"Allie.." he warned.

The red-head completely ignored his brother as she continued to reach out and touch the smooth, silvery surface of the strange object. However, the second she pressed her thumb against the blank plate, it lit up. The portal opened up, showing a vast image of the Avengers facility— their current home.

"Wow," she whispered, mesmerized by what just happened, "I wonder what this is. Seems to me like it's another one of Uncle Tony's inventions. What do you think?"

"If it is anything like his inventions, it's best to stay out of it." he asserted.

She rolled her eyes, muttering, "Always the killjoy." She stepped closer to reach out to it.

James went to stop her, "Don't touch—"

Too late. Allie's hand had already made contact with the image inside the portal itself. She was startled when her hand went through the screen but cried out in shock when it started to suck her hand in.

She struggled to get it out, "Ah!" She cried, "It's... my hand.. I can't get it out!"

"I told you!" He hissed, tugging on her arm and tried to pull it back to them, "Just pull your arm out!"

"I'm trying you idiot!"

"So I'm the idiot here?" he asked flatly, still pulling her arm.

"Just help me out!" Allie exclaimed, exerting more force. But it was no use, in fact, it only made it worse. The extra force they exerted only made them lose their balance— sending Allie's whole arm into the portal.

"Ahh!" she cried out in worry.

"This is why we shouldn't mess around with things we don't know of!" James chastised.

"Save the scolding for later would you?" she snapped, before feeling another force pull her again deeper. Before they knew it, her shoulder was sucked in too.

James pulled on her other arm harder, "Allie!"

"I got an idea!"

"What?"

"Let go!"

"What?"

"Let go, James!" Allie repeated with more force,

"Are you crazy?" He looked at her incredulously, refusing to follow her orders. "You want to be sucked into this thing completely?"

"Just trust me!" she yelled back.

"No!" he said stubbornly, his green eyes flashing with fear and anxiety. He gave the hardest tug he could muster when Allie felt something pull near her stomach.

"Ah shit," she cursed.

The next thing they knew they were both sucked into the portal, its surface gleaming brightly before dying out as quick as lightning. The surface returned to its smooth and silverly state.

The Science lab was what it was again before the two siblings entered the room— completely deserted.
