Here's the 3rd chapter…

READ BEFORE THE ACTUAL CHAPTER!

This story is unbeta'd. Do I need one?

You might be confused or not understand some points but everything will be clearer as the story progress. But you can ask anyway, after all everyone makes mistakes and maybe I made one.

Every chapter will end with a new dimension. If you want, you can try to guess it. Maybe I'll decide to add an OC to one chapter (5 or 6 chapters later) and whoever got the most right answers will create the OC. (as long as I like the OC)

I wish to focus on only Romanogers but as a writer, I have to cover the other parts such as The Avengers in original dimension.

I have a new discord link for Avengers. For Romanogers, there is already a good server. Here is the link of my discord:

New Dimension

Natasha and Steve walked toward the high school after checking out the perimeter to find out if they were alone. "Thankfully, there is no one here to spot us." Natasha said.

Steve smiled. "Are you competing for my Captain title since what you said was obvious and that…" his voice died down gradually after he had seen the look Natasha gave him. "…makes you Captain Obvious." He finished his attempted joke quickly as he looked everywhere but Natasha.

Natasha looked at him a few seconds then smiled at his lame joke. He must have spent a lot time with Clint. I'm sure Clint tried to teach Steve how to joke in 21st century. She noticed his behavior and understood his wish to forget that moment. He might be vicious combatant in battles but he becomes goofball in social life. That's almost adorable. She gave herself a mind-shake. I did not just find Steve Rogers adorable! She didn't press on the issue at hand since she wanted to forget last minute as much as him. "What are you waiting for, Cap? Let's get inside already."

Steve nodded and went towards school's door. Unluckily, it was unlocked. He opened the door and held it open for some time. Natasha raised her eyebrow, questioning him. He cleared his throat and motioned inside. "Madam… Ladies first."

Natasha smiled, barely holding a laugh. "Thank you, fine gentleman." She said softly as she entered the school. Steve entered after her and together they looked for the layout of school. While they were searching for the layout map, Natasha noted an important thing about herself. Come to your senses Natasha. You seem to lose control of your emotions lately around Steve. He is nothing more than a dear friend and teammate. While some women thought men opening doors for themselves is undermining of women, Natasha didn't think that way and couldn't tolerate people who thinks like that.* She was an actual feminist and found that gesture sweet. She knew that Steve knows she is capable of doing anything she puts her mind to.

While Natasha was distracted with her own thoughts, Steve found the layout. He gestured Nat the location of it and together they went to check the layout of school. Their target was computer lab because they wanted to make sure that Avengers existed in first place from internet before they could try and connect with Tony. "We go this way, take two rights and the second door on the left is computer lab." Steve pointed out one corridor after examining the layout.

Natasha was feeling mischievous and spoke with soft voice. "Where did you learn to read a map like that, Rogers? I would be lost without you."

The look Steve gave to Natasha was saying ha ha very funny, Romanoff. Instead of saying that he gave the actual answer. "Nazi Germany" With that he started on their route.

Natasha smirked when she heard his answer, recalling another thing he learned from there before following his route.

After reaching the lab, Natasha pulled a chair to sit while Steve turned on the computer. Natasha sat in front of the computer as the screen popped up. "Wow they are using Windows XP?" Natasha felt pity for the students using these computers.

Steve pulled another chair and sit next to Natasha and leaned forward. "Yeah, that's so..." Steve didn't know what Natasha was talking about and hoped that she could finish his sentence.

"So..." Natasha smirked at him, knowing that he had no clue on computer softwares. "You don't know what I'm talking about, do you?"

Steve shrugged. "Of course I do. That's a type of…."

Natasha interrupted him. "You are a terrible liar, Steve." She turned toward the screen. "Oh, they didn't put any account on computers." She said that aloud because she thinks that hearing 21st century words would make Steve familiar with them and thus learning what they actually mean would be easier. "Computer softwares offer making an account option. Just like we had in S.H.I.E.L.D. and have in Avengers Tower/Quinjet but of course this one much more simplified. Accounts makes it mor private and increases security. Although if they had an account here, I would hack it easily." The desktop opened and Natasha looked for browser. "Now I deeply pity those kids. This computer doesn't have Chrome or Firefox, only has Internet Explorer. If we go around and ask locals if they've ever heard about Avengers would take less time than searching on Explorer."

Steve didn't comment since he didn't have any clue about the differences of browsers. He thinks that they all are same. "Since we won't do that, Nat, better start looking." He nudged Natasha to continue.

"Alright then…" She clicked Explorer's sign and waited for it to open. As it opened, Natasha noticed something different about the browser. Strange. She thought as she wrote Google to search site. When Google opened, she noticed another strangeness. That logo is supposed to be different. She wrote Avengers to search bar then in another tab, she searched for Tony Stark. Steve saw what she did and asked why she did it. "This thing…" She motioned the computer. "… this browser, the logo…. They all seem ancient. I'm sure Google changed the appearance of their logo twice after this one. I don't think it's possible for people in 2015 to have this one appear on screen."

"Are you talking about time traveling?" Steve asked. First different dimension now time travel? This problem couldn't get any more complicated.

Natasha shrugged and gave her honest opinion. "Maybe… That's why I'm also searching for Tony. If we are in our universe and went back in time…"

"There wouldn't be news of Avengers or S.H.I.E.L.D." Steve finished for her.

"Exactly!" She continued while checking the browsers. "If you keep this up, people will think we are a couple."

Steve laughed nervously. "And we wouldn't want people to think like that." Just when the browsers opened, they heard voices coming from outside of lab. Steve put the chairs where they were before they used them while Natasha closed the screen. They quickly went to back of computer lab without making noise and hid under the tables. Luckily for them, the tables' fronts were covered. Now they could only hope that the owners of voices wouldn't come to their hiding spot. Neither Steve nor Natasha wanted to raise suspicion about what two adults are doing in high school. They heard the door of the lab opening and footsteps which indicated that there were more than one person who got inside. Natasha and Steve counted 5 different sounds of footsteps. To confirm his thoughts, he made 5 sign with his fingers. Natasha nodded, confirming his opinion but she had a feeling as if there was another factor she didn't consider. She shook her head, dismissing that thought. "Guys, I really don't think we shouldn't be here… or doing this…" said one of the occupants. A male voice. As if reading each other's mind, both Natasha and Steve looked at the other's eyes simultaneously. That voice sounded familiar for both of them but neither of them could match the voice with a face. Natasha raised her eyebrow, questioning him whether or not he recognized the voice. Steve shook his head in denial and did the same thing she had done which resulted in her shaking her head in denial too.*

"Don't be pussy now… We didn't force you here. You wanted this." Said another male voice. This one sounded familiar too.

"Language!" said different yet familiar male voice. Steve's eyes widened after hearing that voice.

There was silence for a few seconds then all occupants laughed. Both Natasha and Steve listened carefully to distinguish the voices so they would know how many man were in the room.

"Oh please! As if you never swear…"

That was it for Natasha to understand who that was. Smokey voice, sarcastic attitude…She didn't even notice there was a woman among the ones that arrived. Light feet, making no noise…She looked at Steve who was going through same emotions as her. Well damn it. She waved her hand in front of Steve's eyes to catch his attention which she did. She mouthed 'What do we do?'

Steve didn't want to act quickly and wanted to assess their situation better, signaling her to wait. Maybe we won't have to face them at all.

"Why do we have to do this at school? Tony, you're rich and your dad is CEO and founder of multi-national corporate. We could do this at your house." With that everything else fell into pieces. "Why are you even doing this? You already graduated from MIT at 16 with summa cum laude*"

"First, if we do this from my house, they could trace the signal easily and my dad would learn this before cops, which is way worse. Secondly…I just wanna have some quality time with my best friends beside Rhodes." Tony said while pulling a chair to near computer. "Now let me do my magic."

Another one spoke. "Shouldn't we do this at night? You know being incognito, like a spyyyyyy."

"Today is Sunday. The security has 1 hour break before he continues to work but at 1 pm his favorite soap opera starts which lasts for 1.5 hours. He only leaves the TV when the show gives break. At first break he checks gym and west side then south side and lastly this area and after the show ends he checks everywhere. He only eats something. Maybe pizza maybe noodle maybe something else but he always eats something. During the final break, I will sneak into his room and pour a non-harmless medicine to his food, he won't be able leave for a long time which gives us a long time to finish what we started." After a little pause "You can be my look out, Clint."

"I would be honored my lady."

"Got another question?... No? Good. How long will it take Tony?" spoke younger Natasha.

"I am not sure right now. 3 hours maybe. 4 at most. It depends on the speed of download. Hacking into government facilities and getting SAT questions from their servers don't challenge me."

Steve didn't know what SAT is but he didn't like the idea of bunch of teenagers hacking government. He mouthed "Should we do something?" but Natasha was also indecisive. We shouldn't get involved with this world's problems. Steve thought but internally he wanted to stop them from doing a mistake. Just when he decided to not get involved, he heard another voice coming from outside computer lab. "Hey honey… I know we had plans tonight but Harold got sick and they assigned me at his shift. We could use extra money….. I promise we will go out on Tuesday…okay love you…I will call you back on my break."

Suddenly the demeanor of teens changed from relaxed to panic. Shit; what are we going to go?; it's Mr Jenkins, if he sees us, we will be dead; I knew this was a bad idea… these were the some words of said teenagers. Younger Steve spoke "Alright team… Tony shut the screen and computer off, let's fix the chairs and hide."

That sounded so similar Natasha thought. She knew that she shouldn't get involved with these kids' affair but she felt like she should help them. I could have used some outsider's help when I was a teen in Red Room. She poked Steve and pointed up. She saw the same conflict on Steve's face as he nodded in approval. They got out of under desks.

The teen Avengers saw the two adult in the room, gaping at two as they were trying to fix the lab as if no one had been there. "We weren't doing anything./You can't prove shit." Young Bruce and Natasha spoke at the same time.

"Relax. You are okay. Just sneak out as we distract that man." Natasha continued. "But we will have a chat outside." She gave them her mean stare to make them understand that she isn't joking around.

They nodded in unison. Steve and Natasha walked toward door of the room. As he was going to open the door, Mr Jenkins, the security guard, opened the door. "Who the hell are you?" he asked and taking out his baton.

Natasha giggled, pretending to be drunk. "Awww but honey… you said it would be only you and me in our old school." She acted as if she can't stand on her own feet without assistance, leaning onto Steve.

Steve caught on what she was doing and tried his best to lie. "I am sorry officer. I don't know how got in but I've been trying to find her in entire school for the last 15 minutes, searching through class to class…. You see…. Her mother, my mother-in-law, passed away 2 days ago and she hasn't been good for the last two days. I don't know why but she insisted to go our high school." He turned his face to Natasha and kissed her head and continued, not looking at Jenkins. "I am sorry officer for the inconvenience. I guess she wanted to feel like our high school times so her mother would be alive then."

Jenkins put his baton back. His emotions changed from angry to sadness. "It's not problem." He stretched his neck. "Just don't let it happen again. I'm sorry for you loss, Mr?"

"Potter! Thank you, Mr?"

"Jenkins." He stepped away from front of them. "Allow me to assist you to exit." As they walked, Natasha acted like she was going to puke. "The restroom is this way." All of them with Jenkin's lead run toward the restroom Jenkins pointed out. While they were going one direction, he glanced back and saw teen Avengers sneaking out.

Natasha just rushed to one toilet, kneeling near it and made puking sounds as Steve went near her. "Did they sneak away?" she whispered and when received positive answer from Steve, she got up and flushed the toilet as if she really puked. Jenkins asked her if she is okay and she just nodded before Jenkins took them to exit. Jenkins bid them farewell and warned them not to do it again at the exit. Steve thanked him as they walked away. She was still leaning onto Steve for her drunk act which lasted until they heard Jenkins closing the school's door. She immediately straightened up. "When did you improve your lying abilities?" Steve shrugged at her comment. She smirked as she asked her next question. "Wait… mother-in-law? What? Did you imagine us as a married couple?"

Red came to Steve's cheeks. "I had to come up with something."

"And us married was the first thing?" she continued teasing him. "You're lucky that he didn't notice us not wearing wedding rings." She wanted to tease him a little bit more but they were interrupted by teen Avengers.

"Ummm thanks for the help…" Young Bruce was first to speak. Followed by thanks from rest of them. "Who are you? Why were you in our computer lab? Why did you help us?"

Steve and Natasha glanced each other. Steve started talking, thinking that they shouldn't tell them their true identities. He and Nat didn't decide on what to say but she can add something if she wishes. "We were around here and our cell phone batteries died. We saw your school and tried to find security guard but didn't find him so we thought we could sneak in and use your computers for ourselves. We freaked out when we heard your voices and footsteps so we hid. This is embarrassing to say to Jenkins so we pulled that act."

"Why were you trying to steal SAT questions?" Teen Avengers froze in their own spot after Natasha's question. "We helped you to stop you from doing something stupid. So tell us why? Maybe we can help."

When they didn't answer, Natasha gave them her intense stare as if compelling them to say the truth. And one by one they said the truth.

Thor was the first one. "My brother is a genius. He is younger than me but he graduated early. Now he is studying law at Harvard. My sister is also genius and she also plays professional tennis. I am just a football player…. I am not good at my classes as much as my siblings. If I pass SAT with high score, my father would be proud of me."

"I am sure he is already proud of you. Did you say you had a sister?" Natasha inquired.

"Aye… Hela. My name is Thor and my brother is Loki. Our parents and their parents love Scandinavian mythology."

Both Steve and Natasha thought what if Thor in our world also has a sister? but they dismissed that thought and continued to listen others. Young Steve, Bruce and Clint got involved in this because they needed high score for scholarship and they thought they couldn't get scholarship without cheating. Tony was in for the thrill and to piss off his dad. Lastly young Natasha answered "My adoptive father is a perfectionist. If I have high score then he would be happy."

"You know you don't need to steal SAT to achieve high score. The university won't be the solutions for all of your problems." Natasha started. "You know I have psychic powers, I can sense your real interests." Teen Avengers didn't seem to believe her but she continued. "You don't believe me? Then correct me if I'm wrong. Bruce, you are a genius and also interested in nuclear physics and biochemistry. You can pass SAT in your sleep. Clint, you look like you are great at archery. You can win Olympics with that talent. Steve, you can draw as if you are a professional. Just send your applications to art schools. Thor, your father is already proud of you. You don't need to pass SAT for that. Tony, you should make up with your dad before it's too late. And Natasha, forget SATs and colleges. You know that being a ballerina is what you actually want. Don't let Ivan get to you."

As she finished she heard questions like: how did she know that?; what the fuck is going on?; did she get answers from ghosts?;what did she mean by 'before it's too late'?; what if they are future Steve and Natasha came to warn us about stealing SATs? They look similar? After the last question Steve and Natasha looked each other. "We can't answer all of your questions. As for your exam, that is up to you. Maybe you won't score as high as you want. Maybe it won't be enough for some but it is on you. You can cheat and get those questions you want but the results won't show what kind of person you are. You need to ask yourself what kind person you wish to be."* Steve gave a small talk, giving a dramatic effect and continued "You should think this through, again and again until you are sure of yourself. My friend and I need to go now."

Natasha took the opportunity to speak one last time before they can protest. She took out her phone. "Smile for the camera." The teens were dumbfounded by the request yet she still took the picture. She put her phone in her pocket as she nudged Steve. "Come now, we don't have much time."

"But you didn't answer anything!" Younger Clint yelled as Steve and Natasha quickly walked away from them, ignoring the question.

On their way to a quite place, Steve asked why she took their picture. "We should document this discovery. We also should give name to the places we have been. Like Earth-1, 2, 3…We can call our own dimension Earth-0 and Earth-1 & 2 for the two places we have been. Hopefully they will be the last alternate universe." Steve found her reasoning logical and agreed with her. After making sure that they weren't followed and found a secluded place, they stopped. "Ready to go?" She asked, taking out the RC.

He didn't answer for a few seconds. "Do you think that we shouldn't move in case our Tony and the others are looking for us and they have the same pattern as ours? We would be running from them, not towards them."

Natasha paused, gulping the knot in her throat before answering. "As much as it pains me to admit it, we need to consider worst possibilities. What if the explosion that caused us to come here destroyed the lab and it will take year for them to rebuild or another villain will rise and kill them or delay the rebuilding of that machine? What if that explosion killed them and destroyed whole New York? There was too much energy, it might have destroyed everything we know…God, Laura is going to kill me!"

"Who's Laura?" Steve asked, thinking that she had friends that he didn't know about.

"No one" Natasha gave short and quick answer which made Steve think 'Maybe she is her partner' so he didn't question her. She wanted to distract him from asking more questions about Laura. It's not my secret to tell. "You want to try this time? Maybe your touch is good luck charm."

Steve took the RC and pressed the on button, opening a portal. "Ladies first." He slightly bowed while pointing out the portal with both hands.

"Why don't you go first then?" She quipped before she passed though the portal.

"Ha ha hilarious" Steve fake laughed before entering the portal.

Meanwhile on Earth 199999

Thor hasn't been to Asgard since he fought against Malekith. He expected everything same as when he left his homeland. Maybe with small changes and improvements but seeing another man, whom seemed quite familiar to Thor, in Heimdall's place was not one of them.

Unknown Earth

Right after they stepped into new world or their own world, a terrible headache hit both Steve and Natasha, causing loud ringing in their ears as if someone shot a gun next to their ears. Natasha was gritting her teeth, not wanting to make any noice while Steve was expressing his pain silently.* they both waited until the ringing stopped but it stopped earlier for Steve. Thank you Doctor Erskin for the serum. He closed his eyes, rubbing his temples with his index and middle fingers. He decided to check if she is alright after not hearing anything from her. He opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings first. Not understanding anything around him, he blinked a couple times, checking if he still had same vision. When the vision hadn't change, he rubbed his eyes to check the environment again. Oh this is real! He thought as he looked at Natasha. "Nat?"

Natasha looked at Steve while trying to register what was happening. "What the fuck?!" Before Steve could scold her for using swear word, she suddenly got up, checking her body. "We are animated!"

*If you work/live with someone for a long time, you would learn all of their expressions, their mood. And they worked together a lot between Avengers and CATWS. They are agent of SHIELD. Nat is a spy. Understanding each other without words is possible.

*this means he graduated with highest degree

*I hope that speech was in Cap's standard

*Women's pain tolerance is higher than men's and also I'm sure that Natasha was tortured to get used to pain during her RR years
