Daliasy Bautista disappeared during Niah's senior year of high school. Her body was never recovered and two years later, Daliasy Bautista was declared legally deceased. A forensic scientist on the case continued to push despite the lack of evidence, helping Niah's family and inspiring her to pursue forensics. [*]HYDRA operative Jim Kennedy did not die when he attacked Bonnie and Harry - he managed to narrowly escape with his life. [*]Pym worked on the Vision project, using the brainwaves of a volunteer (a costumed hero named Wonder Man) to fashion the artificial intelligence. The Ultron project was discontinued. [*]Latveria placed pressure on the United Nations to take action after S.H.I.E.L.D. agents contributed to the death of Von Bardas. Maria Hill has been appointed Acting Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. as of October 24th. [*]Colonel James Rhodes never had a nephew. [/list][/hider] The clock struck three in Pym's lab, located at Pym Technologies in San Fransisco. For some of those gathered there, everything was brand new - they had never seen the helmet looking device to Pym's right, with numerous wires hooked up to an enormous circuit board. They knew very little of the gigantic device, lined with copper wile and looking almost like a gateway across the room. Maybe they were shocked by the various ants and other bugs crawled all over the floor, moving whenever someone took a step in order to clear space - or maybe they were just disgusted. Others would notice the little differences - changes from their meddling with the timeline. Scott Lang, the current Ant-Man, stood by the Quantum Tunnel, looking eager as he finally got to put his engineering degree to use and he helped to get things set up. Hope van Dyne, the current Wasp, was busy at work calibrating all of the machines and equipment. Everything was right - it was cosmic, written in the stars that if they were to rescue her mother and the stranded agents, it would have to be within the next few hours or the probability fields would go out of alignment. The red-pink synthezoid was lifeless on the slab, a hole in his forehead awaiting his power source - a mini arc reactor stolen from Stark Industries by Agent Novikova. [color=697017]"Dr. Bautista... Huh,"[/color] Pym chuckled, recognizing the time traveler in the room. [color=697017]"If this doesn't free Janet, I'm going to kill you for not telling me what would happen to her."[/color] [color=E8FF00]"Calibrations are complete, Dad,"[/color] Hope interrupted, while Scott flashed a thumbs up to Dr. Pym. Barton was watching silently from the distance, his arms crossed. He claimed that he could observe things better that way, when he had a bit of space separating him and his targets. Of course, Dr. Pym and the other scientists in the room had more or less asked him to back off. There were so many expensive pieces of equipment in this room, it was enough to make anyone from Sci-Tech swoon and keel over in absolute happiness and joy. [color=697017]"Dr. Chase, how are her vitals?"[/color] Pym then asked. Bonnie had lowered the helmet onto Novikova's head, standing by with a variety of medical tools at her disposal. She was essentially the go-to person in the room when it came to keeping people alive and she had some experience when it came to working with the enhanced. [color=f6989d]"...Brainwave activity is heightening,"[/color] Bonnie murmured. [color=f6989d]"We're not in the danger zone, however, so I believe you can proceed."[/color] The blonde scientist then gently removed Novikova's glasses, in order to allow her natural abilities to kick in and help guide the Vision through the Quantum Realm. [color=add3ff]"...Maria, no matter what happens... I love you,"[/color] Novikova whispered. [color=697017]"Initiating Vision's Quantum Realm retrieval program in three... two... one..."[/color] Hank screwed in the arc reactor into the Vision's forehead and then pressed the [i]return[/i] button on his keyboard. The synthezoid started to spark, its limbs twitching slightly as Novikova began to scream. Her body instantly began to convulse as she started to have a seizure. [color=f6989d]"She's seizing!"[/color] Bonnie announced. The gateway was sparking as well, but the portal had failed to open yet. [color=697017]"Hope, increase the power,"[/color] Pym instructed, a bit of worry in his voice. [color=697017]"Full throttle."[/color] [color=E8FF00]"We're at full power,"[/color] Hope confirmed as Novikova's screams finally hit a plateau, but her pain did not. Every fiber of her being felt like it was imploding and exploding at once, a million little supernovas throughout her body. The Quantum Tunnel roared to life, a gigantic yellow glow emanating from it as the Vision opened his eyes and rose. [color=A49C63]"... This is strange,"[/color] the Vision stated, before gliding over to the portal. The synthezoid reached inside and began the extraction process. As he pulled his arm back out of the tunnel, he was holding a teenage girl with blonde hair, dressed in a white and blue and pink outfit reminiscent of Spider-Man. [color=D3589F]"...What universe is this?"[/color] The Vision repeated the process three more times, retrieving Agent Sparks. He then pulled out Agent Raynor and the Asgardian looked like he had an acute case of scurvy. His skin was the color of ash and he was covered in sweat, hardly drawing breath. [color=A49C63]"He requires urgent medical attention,"[/color] Vision explained, before pulling out an older woman with long, elegant white hair. [color=697017]"Janet!"[/color] Hank cried out, racing across the room and embracing her. Hope joined in on the hug as well and the family was reunited at last. Novikova's screams ceased as she passed out from the pain, the Quantum Tunnel powering down yet the Vision remained active, observing the scene around him with interest. He had, after all, just been born. [hr][hr][center][h3][color=84B4E2][b]The Triskelion - Washington D.C.: October 25th, 2020 - 6:00 A.M.[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][hr] Roman had been stationed at the Triskelion following the tragedy of his team and the HYDRA mole. It was incredibly early in the morning, the sun having scarcely risen, but he had been called here for a debriefing on the entire situation. It had been scheduled to happen at five in the morning, but with the entire fiasco of Director Fury being fired and the appointment of Maria Hill as Acting Director, things were more chaotic than normal at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s base of operations. Eventually, a woman with short curly red hair, dressed in a black leather suit came up to him. Her eyes were striking - intense and almost divine, yet similarly calculating. [color=9e0039]"Agent Carter?"[/color] the Black Widow asked, giving him a slight smile. [color=9e0039]"I'm Agent Romanoff - I'm here to debrief you on what happened yesterday."[/color] She then motioned for him to follow her, leading him down the hallway and through a series of doors until they reached an interrogation room. [color=9e0039]"Please, sit,"[/color] she added, sitting down at one of the seats across the table. There was a box of Dunkin Donuts with a variety of choices and two cups of coffee as well. [color=9e0039]"S.H.I.E.L.D. thanks you for your service - but we need to understand exactly what happened... Can you start at the beginning?"[/color]
