AVENGERS VS. DINOSAURS!

"Use the other door! Bruce yells, quickly slamming the door shut. The Avengers run across the building to the other door… and open it to reveal the pack of velociraptors! "Shit! They've got us surrounded!" Tony yells. "It looks like we're going to have to fight our way out!"

"Fighting is not the answer," Vision says, thinking back to when Ultron and its minions had the Avengers surrounded. "We can coexist."

Tony snorts. "Sorry to burst your bubble, but these are dinosaurs. You can't reason with them like a person."

"No, but as soon as we leave their territory, they will leave us alone. I have seen it in their minds."

Tony nods mockingly. "Ok, and how do you suppose we get OUT of their territory?"

"Mind control," Vision says simply. "It will not harm them the way a physical fight would."

"Mind control is difficult," Wanda interrupts. "I was not able to control more than three dinosaurs at a time, at the best of times. Even with the two of us, I doubt we would be able to control all twenty or so."

"It is worth a try," Vision replies, shrugging in a way that is, once again, surprisingly human. With that, he opens the door, causing the exhausted Avengers to freak out for fear of being eaten by the velociraptors. Before they have a chance to, however, Vision reaches out a hand, the mind gem on his forehead glowing brightly, and the front half of the velociraptors, about ten or so, stop in their tracks and calmly stare at Vision, as though awaiting instructions.

Vision turns to Wanda. "Now you get the other half."

"I already told you, I can't," Wanda says in defeat.

"I know you can," Vision replies confidently. "I have seen it in your mind."

When Wanda hesitates, and the second wave of Velociraptors draws closer, Vision says "Just try it. I can always close the door if it doesn't work, but I'm sure you can do it."

"Ok," Wanda reluctantly agrees. She closes her eyes, as though afraid to see herself fail, and concentrates on mind-controlling the remaining dinosaurs. Wanda hears a gasp, and quickly opens her eyes, afraid that she failed, and her teammates are being attacked. However, she couldn't be further from the truth. What actually happened is that all the dinosaurs are now being mind-controlled!

"I did it?" Wanda whispers, hardly able to believe it. Yet as all the dinosaurs remain under mind-control, she realizes it's true. "I did it!" she cheers.

Unfortunately, focusing on her success causes her to lose control of the dinosaurs… or so she thinks. "Oops, I need to keep my concentration," she says, embarrassed, reclaiming control of the dinosaurs.

Little does she know that this is actually the first time she's been in control of all ten dinosaurs. When Wanda closed her eyes and tried to control the dinosaurs, she wasn't confident she could do it, and ended up controlling exactly three dinosaurs, the same as before. However, Vision had a theory that Wanda was powerful enough to control ten dinosaurs, she just wasn't confident enough. He decided to test his theory by controlling the remaining seven dinosaurs along with the ten he was already controlling. He is actually more powerful than he lets on, and had no trouble doing this. What he wanted to see is if Wanda, after thinking she was controlling ten dinosaurs, would be confident enough to actually do it.

He is happy to find his hypothesis proved correct, that Wanda is quite powerful, just lacking in the confidence to use her powers. Now certain that he and Wanda can keep the dinosaurs hypnotized, he turns to the other Avengers. "Let us leave this island."

The Avengers just stand there, stunned for a moment, before silently following the two hypnotists through the pack of immobile dinosaurs. However, while none of the Avengers talk, they are thinking quite hard about what they have just witnessed. Natasha, Rhodey, and Steve are worried about what could happen if one or both of them turn evil, or worse, are captured by Hydra. Steve wants to make sure they are protected, while Natasha and Rhodey think they should be restricted. Bruce wonders if Wanda wasn't able to mind-control the dinosaurs at first because she feels like a monster, like him. Clint and Sam just think their mind control-powers are majorly cool. A bit freaky, but cool. Tony can't help thinking about a certain mutant named Charles Xavier, and all the trouble he could cause….

Yet as the Avengers make their way towards the plane, they realize that they've forgotten to think about one important thing: the t-rex! It comes up from behind the Avengers and bites Wanda's shoulder! Wanda screams, and, in her pain, can no longer focus on mind-controlling the dinosaurs. Ten velociraptors come running the Avengers' way… then ten more, as Vision, concerned about Wanda, is unable to concentrate as well.

"Bruce! Clint! Take Wanda and get the plane started!" Steve yells, slamming his shield against a lunging velociraptor's head.

"I'll go!" Natasha interrupts, taking Clint's place next to Bruce and letting Wanda lean on her. Natasha has energy left to fight, but she wants to apologize to her boyfriend for letting him go on a Hulk-rampage. Plus, Clint should do fine, now that he picked up more tranquilizer arrows from the visitor's center.

"Hey, Clint. Ready for the ol' one-two?"

"Sure thing!" Clint replies.

Sam picks Clint up, flying high into the air. "One!" Sam yells.

"And two!" Clint yells, firing arrows down on the dinosaurs. Unfortunately, he is not able to knock all of the dinosaurs out. Fortunately, Vision is able to mind-control the rest of them, effectively stopping the dinosaurs.

"Nice teamwork," Rhodey says, flying up beside them.

"Thanks," Clint and Sam reply. "I figured Clint could shoot faster if he didn't have to dodge dinosaurs as well," Sam adds. "It's something we practiced in training."

"Well, good job," Rhodey replies.

Tony has also joined them in the sky, thanks to the fact that traded his broken Iron Man suit for a spare one at the visitor's center. However, he's still too mad at Clint to congratulate him, he just gives Sam a nod instead.

Fortunately, there's even better news. "The plane's ready!" Natasha yells, and as the Avengers watch, the propellers start spinning.

The Avengers run to the plane and get inside, glad to be safe. Vision is extra relieved, both to see Wanda, who is still in pain, but getting better, as well as to drop his mind-control over the dinosaurs. He was starting to get exhausted, after all.

Between paying attention to Wanda, and paying attention to Bruce and Natasha's argument (it's ok to eavesdrop if the reason is knowing what to do if Wanda ever argues with him, right?), Vision isn't paying a whole lot of attention to the dinosaurs right before he drops the mind-control. That's why he doesn't notice how close the tyrannosaurus is to the plane. However, everyone notices how close the t-rex is when, just as they are starting to rise into the air, the t-rex roars and bites the plane's tail off!

The Avengers let out a series of screams and curses as the plane, unable to rise without the tail, starts falling back towards the ground. However, no one is as angry as Bruce, who, already a bit angry about how Natasha treated him, is now absolutely furious. "HULK SMASH PUNY T-REX!" Hulk roars, charging out of the hole in the back of the plane straight towards the t-rex. Everyone else finds their flying buddy, who flies them safely back down to the ground… and back to fighting velociraptors.

"What's the backup plan?" Natasha asks, as she punches a velociraptor between the eyes with her Widow's Bite, causing it to fall unconscious.

"There is none!" Tony snaps, still angry at Natasha for taking his stuff, but mostly just mad that he's trapped here.

"How are your suits doing?" Steve asks Tony and Rhodey. "Maybe you guys can fly us home?"

"No can do," Tony replies. "The dinos wrecked my good suit. This one isn't even finished yet. The aiming system is way off," Tony says, demonstrating this by firing a bolt of energy at a velociraptor that majorly misses, almost hitting Thor in the process. "If the suit's already doing this, I don't want to test it further and have something go wrong in the middle of the ocean."

"Same here," Rhodey agrees. "These velociraptors seem to think my suit is tasty," he says, showing them the bite marks full of sparking wires on his suit. "That can't be good."

Steve, however, won't give up. "Thor?" he asks, turning his head in the blond god's direction.

Thor shakes his head. "NAY, FRIEND STEPHEN! I REQUIRE REST OR THE BIFROST TO FLY US HOME, AND THE ALL-FATHER HAS DENIED ME THE BIFROST!"

Steve nods, trying not to show how hopeless he is feeling. "Sam?"

Sam shakes his head. "Sorry, but I'm with Thor on the whole 'rest and sustenance' thing. Can't fly across the Atlantic without it. Besides, do you really expect me to carry all nine of you? I mean, no offense, but you guys are heavy! You all would need to lose a few pounds first," Sam says, smiling.

No one else smiles, and Sam soon stops as well. He did the best he could to stay positive, but it's hard to see the bright side when you're trapped on an island surrounded by velociraptors and are getting more and more exhausted.

Hulk roars as the tyrannosaurs' claws scratch his chest. Clint swears as a velociraptor that he shot with a tranquilizer arrow just a few minutes ago gets back up… and then another one… and then another one. Wanda spins around in a circle, letting out a blast of magic that damages the dinosaurs that were sneaking up on her from all directions… then grits her teeth at the pain this causes her already-injured shoulder. All-in-all, things aren't looking good. Steve isn't sure how much longer his team can fight for.

Then Steve hears it: A PLANE! At first, he thinks his mind is playing tricks on him, that he's just imagining the sound, but when the air above them shimmers and reveals the Quinjet, he realizes it is most definitely real. "OVER HERE!" Steve yells, waving his hands in the air, but he needn't have bothered. No one could miss the huge swarm of snarling velociraptors fighting the mix of exhausted warriors, geniuses, and spies, and that means that someone who was looking for them certainly wouldn't, someone like…

"Pepper?!" Tony yells, making a wtf face as he sees her face looking out of the window of the Quinjet. "If you came to kill me, you'll have to hurry up and do it before this velociraptor does."

In fact, the velociraptor IS about to bite Tony, so he has to fight it for a few seconds. When he turns back to the plane, he sees that Pepper is shouting, but he can't hear what she is saying. Tony sighs. "Third switch on your left turns on the air-conditioning. Go two down, and that will let you broadcast your voice. Just remember I told you how to do that, when you say 'Told you so!'"

Tony has to turn away to fight dinosaurs again, but he hears Pepper's voice loud and clear. "You think I'm going to say I told you this was a bad idea? Tony, I thought you were dead! When you said you were getting attacked by a t-rex, I thought… I thought... I thought I'd never see you again!" Pepper says, a tear sliding down her cheek. "Now get in the plane!"

Shocked, Tony flies up and into the plane, the other flying Avengers following suit. A ladder drops down for the non-flying Avengers to climb up. A rather epic game of whack-a-dinosaur ensues, in which various velociraptors jump up and try to knock the Avengers off the ladder, and the Avengers have to punch or kick them back into their holes… err… to the ground. Eventually, however, all the Avengers make it into the plane, including Bruce, whom Natasha has lullabied back to human form.

The first thing Pepper does when she sees Tony is yell "Tony!" and give him a hug. Then she slaps him. "That's what you get for building a dinosaur theme park without my permission! I AM still angry about that, just more happy to see you."

Tony nods. "Point taken." He's so exhausted that he can't even think of a witty comment, earning him an extra hug from Pepper.

"Whoa! Look at that!" Clint exclaims, looking out the window. The others look to where he is pointing and see that the Velociraptors, which are no longer fighting Avengers and/or stunned and/or under mind control have just noticed the t-rex, which is no longer fighting the Hulk. Now that there are no humans to distract them, the dinosaurs find a new target: each other. The t-rex roars, charging at the velociraptors that are so much smaller than her. Easy prey… or so she thinks. However, the velociraptors know that there is safety in numbers, and twenty velociraptors is certainly more than one t-rex. They aren't backing down.

"I wonder who will win?" Clint asks, watching as the t-rex tries to shake off the velociraptors that are biting her.

"Who knows," Tony grumbles. "I'm just glad to be out of there," he says, looking forward, away from the latest disaster he's created.

In the months to follow, many things would change. The new Avengers, Sam, Rhodey, Wanda, and Vision would become stronger, more confident heroes. But the old team would fracture, the arguments that were once just petty disagreements turning into a Civil War. Yet during all this, hidden away from the world, an island of dinosaurs waits for someone else to discover it. Then, one day, a certain villain does….

AN: So did you like this story? Anything I can improve on? I'm not planning on doing a sequel, contrary to the sequel-y last paragraph.

Also, if anyone is thinking, "Gee, I'd love to leave a comment, but I'm not sure what to comment about," I would love to hear if you think I kept characters in character well or not. My goal was to make it seem like this could actually happen in the Marvel universe between Age of Ultron and Civil War, but I'm not sure if I pulled it off. I mean, not actually happen, obviously, since Jurassic Park is its own movie, but… you know what I mean.

Thanks for reading :)
