New, York City; Naruto's Penthouse, Morning.
Naruto groaned as the sun hit him. He used his right arm to block it and hissed at the cold from the metal surface.
"I thought you took that off when you slept." Naruto moved his arm and saw Janet walking in.
"I forgot to. Had some friends over to christen the place."
"Would these 'friends' be girls?"
"Some. I think they left earlier." Naruto replied looking up at the ceiling.
"And were they-?"
"No, they weren't in here! Unless I'm a heavy sleeper." Naruto got up in boxers and pulled off his right arm, showing he has wrapped around his stub before taking that off as well. He went into the shower as Janet walked to the kitchen and sighed at the food on the island in the middle. And the dirty plates in the sink.
'It's his place now Janet.' She thought going to the fridge and pulled out the orange juice. 'Besides, he's usually cleaner than this. It's just because he had a party... I hope.' She finished as she poured a glass.
A few minutes later, Naruto walked out attaching his arm back in place, and flexed his fingers.
He went to the cupboard and picked out a box of cereal before going to the fridge and pulled out some milk.
A Few Days Later, Antarctic.
The Avengers flew over the Antarctic with Shinobi, Ant-Man, and Wasp flying in the Quinjet.
They came up to three men fishing with a net as Thor flew down beside Iron Man.
"Hey, hi guys." Iron Man said hovering under the Jet. "You haven't seen a cranky, giant green-" He stopped as each man pointed in front. "OK then."
They flew in the direction as Naruto sat behind Wasp who held the flight stick.
"This is the coolest thing I've ever done. I'm driving a jet!"
"It's actually on auto-pilot Wasp. Sorry." Iron Man said over the radio.
"And it's 'flying' not driving, Janet." Naruto corrected her.
Before she could comment, they came up to a crater.
"What is that?" Naruto asked standing up.
"The Hulk throwing a tantrum," Ant-Man said having Naruto look at him.
"Well, he does think we think he's a monster like the public does."
They landed the jet as Iron Man and Thor floated down.
Naruto walked out as the door folded down before Wasp flew past him. She flew past the two flying heroes before hitting the ice.
"OW!"
The others followed and looked wide-eyed at the ice she hit.
"Holy shit," Naruto exclaimed seeing Captain America frozen in ice, tears on his costume and his iconic shield at his feet.
Later, all the Avengers flew in the Quinjet as Captain America thawed out. Once the ice completely melted, Wasp spoke up as Ant-Man put his helmet on.
"Is his brain alright?" Naruto looked down just as Captain America's blue skin turned back to normal and he gasped as he opened his eyes.
"BUCKY!"
He brought his shield up and hit Naruto in the throat with it before kicking Thor into Ant-Man and got off of the table.
Naruto held his throat before hearing Kurama. "I wouldn't talk yet, Naruto. From the looks of it, he still thinks he's back in the '40s. Japan... wasn't on the best of terms with the U.S. at that time."
Naruto looked to see Captain talking about Zemo as he pinned Iron Man with the table and threw his shield. It bounces off the walls and hits the controls, having the door open. Captain America caught his shield and jumped out near the Statue of Liberty.
New York; Avenger's Mansion.
Black Panther broke inside the mansion and put a flash drive in one of J.A.R.V.I.S.'s ports, shutting off the alarm. He went to the fireplace and went through the secret passage and went to the underground lair. There, he accessed the computer from the tale and brought up pictures of the Avengers.
Naruto having skull teeth on his mask and sunglasses.
The Avengers, Ennis Island.
Naruto landed by the water to see Captain America get punched. Jogging over to him, Naruto's eyes widen seeing the shield fly towards him. He reached out with his right arm and caught it. Naruto threw it back to Captain America, sending the war hero back several feet as he caught it.
Thor flew down and brought his hammer down on Captain America, who brought up his shield.
CLANG!
An electric shockwave came from the collided weapons before Captain America sweep kicked Thor to the ground.
Ant-Man, in his giant form, came out of the water and looked down at Captain America. "Sir, we really need to get you to the hospital." He said as a cruise ship sailed near.
The people on it started taking pictures getting a confused look from Captain America as he saw the digital cameras. Iron Man flew in front of them and spoke.
"Enough! You have to come with us. You don't understand, Captain. This is not 1943."
"He is a warrior, Iron Man. He will not yield." Thor said as Captain America threw his shield.
"You got that right, buddy!"
Naruto jumped up and grabbed the shield before it went to the shop and tossed it away as Captain America tackled Iron Man. And had him hit Ant-Man, forcing him into the water. Wasp got his attention and had him follow her to his memorial statue.
"You've been gone a long time, Captain." Iron Man said having his faceplate fold up. "Welcome back."
Unknown Location, HYDRA Base.
A tall man with shriveled green skin wearing a dark blue cybernetic suit with a scythe mounted on his right arm, wearing a dark blue cape as a hood to cover the upper part of his face stood in front of another man on a throne.
He is wearing the HYDRA uniform, a glass spectacle in his right eye, a bald head, and has a red clawed robotic right arm.
BOOM!
An explosion tore the doors down as a man walked in, sheathing a sword on his hip. He's wearing a purple HYDRA baron suit and a tight mask with yellow boots and gloves.
"Zemo? So, you escaped as well?" Strucker asked as Zemo walked up.
"Yes. I escaped the prison you left me to rot in." Zemo said as the HYDRA men pointed their weapons at him. Only to kneel once seeing who he is.
Grim Reaper attacked, only to have his scythe pulled off and thrown to the other side of the room.
Strucker got ready to defend his position, only for one man to run in, kneel, and explain about the reports that Captain America is alive. Zemo walked out before speaking.
"Keep HYDRA, Wolfgang. All I want is to destroy Captain America."
Unknown Location, Zemo.
Zemo walked past tubes filled with what looks like putty as some formed behind him and made arms to attack. Only for Zemo to attack, seeing the putty form eyes and a mouth.
"That is enough, my pet!"
They looked to see a broad-shouldered male, with a camera instead of a face, which is presented on the stomach on a yellow tv screen. He's wearing a big orange scientist safety vest with large purple gloves
"You'll have to excuse Doughboy. He is very excited to see that you too have escaped prison."
After getting treatment for his condition, Zemo explained Captain America was alive having Zola explained they could use his D.N.A. to make an antidote for his virus and create an army of super-soldiers as well.
Avenger's Mansion.
Black Panther was looking at the files before the lights came on. Taking out his flash drive, he hid as the Avengers came in with Captain America. They explained what's happened since he was gone and that the Allied Forces won the war as he brought up an old newspaper of Captain America on the table's holo-screen.
"There may still be hope for Bucky, but from the reports I've read, he was on the rocket when it blew up," Naruto spoke for the first time and had his mask go down.
Captain America looked at him having Naruto sigh.
"Naruto Uzumaki. I'm from a different universe, but it shares many similarities to Japan. I kept quiet as I didn't know how you would react."
Captain America sighed as he laid his shield down and walked out.
"Cap," Wasp said before Naruto placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Give him some time, this is a lot to take in. To him, yesterday was a World War in 1943. And today, he's suddenly 60 years in the future."
"ALERT! Reports of giant monsters attacking Ennis Island." J.A.R.V.I.S. said having a report of a large mass of Doughboy form on the island and the Statue of Liberty.
"Avengers assemble!" Tony said bringing his faceplate down.
"Uh... We're already here." Ant-Man said as Naruto sighed.
"This is sooo going to suck! I don't know why, but I just feel it's going to."
All but Wasp ran out as Black Panther watched from the rafters.
Later, a Doughboy looked at the outside gate before flying through it and up to the mansion.
Inside, Wasp walked to Captain America's room and saw him sitting on his bed, his cowl pulled down showing short blonde hair.
His room is decorated like the early '40s and an updated version of his costume is folded beside him.
"Cap? Steve?" She asked walking in. "Iron Man tried to make it seem as much like the '40s as possible." She said before an alarm went off as a digital speaker came out of the top of the old radio.
"Excuse me, Miss Wasp. There appears to be a guest at the main gate." J.A.R.V.I.S. said before the speaker went back inside.
"(Sigh) I just can't imagine the world still needs Captain America," Steve said before the mansion shook. They ran out to get Captain America's shield before stopping as they saw a Doughboy floating towards them.
Missiles suddenly launched at it, only for the Doughboy to absorb them and burp.
"OK. You're fat and disgusting." Wasp said before shooting out her lasers and actually hurt the Doughboy. The Doughboy quickly attacked, having Wasp dodge as Captain America tackled it to the floor. Doughboy pushed him to the wall before floating over to Wasp and ate her.
"NO!" Cap yelled as the Doughboy flew to him and exploded as Wasp glowed yellow and got covered in the putty.
And was hit by a laser.
Cap looked back and saw Zemo holding a gun. "Captain America. It's been a long time."
"Zemo," Cap said before jumping over and kicked Zemo to the ground.
"I was afraid you wouldn't be as I remembered you," Zemo said as Cap placed his foot on Zemo's chest.
Zemo kicked Cap away before kipping up and kicked his sword up to catch it.
"How are you still alive, Zemo?" Captain America asked circling with Zemo.
"Death means nothing to me. I have evolved my body over the years. While you remain as you ever were." Zemo slashed Cap's chest and forced him to dodge several strikes. before slashing him again appearing behind Cap.
Zemo jumped and went for the killing blow as Cap raised his right arm.
Clang!
And had his shield thrown on his arm, and into the wall. Cap looked to see Black Panther stand on the support beam beside him before jumping away. Cap threw his shield at Zemo who ducked.
"UGH!" And had it bounce to hit him in the back of his neck. Cap easily took care of Zemo before bashing him to the floor.
"Give up Zemo. You lost the War. And you'll always lose. Whether I'm here, or not." Cap said before Zemo threw a small bomb as Wasp. Cap ran and dropped his shield in front of it, covering Wasp from the blast as Zemo escaped.
BOOM!
The Avenger's, Ennis Island.
The Avengers tried to attack the Doughboy, only for nothing to work, and had Doughboy wrap around them.
"SON OF A BITCH! I knew this would suck!" Naruto cursed before seeing Wasp and Captain America drop from the Quinjet and helped him out.
Cap explained that this was one of Zola's experiments having Ant-Man use his helmet's wavelengths to keep it at bay as Iron Man matched the wavelengths to destabilize Doughboy.
"Victory is ours," Thor said covered in the putty.
"Hooray," Wasp said covered as well.
They heard cheering and saw people walking out from the Statue of Liberty
Night, Avenger's Mansion.
Tony talked to Steve who had his cowl down before Tony gave Steve an old picture of him and Bucky standing beside a man who looked like Tony with a mustache.
"My father. He looked up to you. We all did. We all do."
"When do I meet the Avenger who saved me? The one in the black catsuit?" Steve asked getting Tony to raise an eyebrow.
"Wait, who?"
Zola's Lab.
Zemo walked into the lab, only to stop as he heard a female speak up. Looking to his left, Zemo saw the Enchantress and the Executioner standing over a knocked-out Zola.
"Baron Zemo. I have an... offer for you." She said as her hand glowed green for light as Zemo narrowed his eyes at her.
A Month Later, Avenger's Mansion. (1.)
"What year is it again?" Wasp asked as she, Iron Man, and Shinobi looked in Cap's empty room. "Because every time I come in Captain America's room, I get confused. Seriously, it's like a hotel room from 1940."
"1943 actually, Wasp. Give me some credit, I had to call Pepper twice to make her make this happen." Iron Man replied as Naruto looked at the room.
"This is to make Cap feel at home, Janet."
"I'm just saying, are we sure this is healthy? I can't even imagine how hard this has been on Cap... But he's been unfrozen for like a month now. He's not really getting out there and adapting to the present day. Or future, I guess."
"It is his day off..." Naruto replied crossing his arms.
"Whatever. You know he's out there, probably all sad and moping around. He lost his whole world! He's probably hanging out in a museum or something."
"Pardon me, sir... But I'm receiving an intruder alert-" J.A.R.V.I.S. said but was interrupted by Iron Man.
"Really? I got a burglar?"
"Indeed, sir. Except that the 'burglar' in this case is the Advanced Idea Mechanics. They are raiding a Stark Industries experimental technological warehouse."
"What?! J.A.R.V.I.S., you could have just said so! Wasp! Shinobi! We got to go!" Iron Man said running out the door.
"(Sigh) I wonder what a Super Soldier does on his day off?" Wasp said before she and Naruto ran after Iron Man.
New York City, Times Square.
Thor floated down as Captain America took out four criminals who were a part of the breakout.
"Victory is yours, Captain... And yet you look as if Ragnarok itself were upon you. Thor Odinson would know why." Thor said as he landed. "You fought well from the looks of things.."
"No, I didn't. I was sloppy. I got distracted by the man with mechanical weapons. His technology... I've never seen anything like it. I wasn't ready for it, Thor. But I don't know if I can adapt to this." Cap said as Thor took off his helmet.
"I understand."
"Is that so?" Captain America asked having Thor nod.
"Aye. For I am immortal... And I have watched this world change over thousands of years. I have watched whole cultures be swallowed up, wiped from the Earth... because they could not adapt." He explained putting his hand on Cap's shoulder. "But I do not believe Captain America is like them."
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Thor's card went off as Iron Man called for him.
"Though in truth, I am not a fan of mortal technology, either," Thor said picking his card up before pocketing it. "Iron Man's 'card' once again beckons. Iron Man believes you to have 'the day off', but warriors do not vacation! Follow me, Captain... For battle is nearby!"
Stark Industries, Warehouse 410.
The Avengers flew in just as Captain America and Thor fought a silver android that took Vap's image and held both a silver image of his shield and Mjolnir. He absorbed the other powers before Captain America spoke.
"All Machines have a power source! Thor, Cover me!"
"HAVE AT THEE, ADAPTOID!" Thor yelled as he brought lightning down and hit the android giving Cap an opening to slice a light on its chest, powering it down.
"How'd you know where to hit it, Cap?" Shinobi asked as Thor put his arm on Cap's shoulder.
"No matter how much the world changes, a true warrior finds a way to change with it. Wouldn't you agree, Captain?"
Avenger's Mansion.
Captain America walked into his room where he saw a small present from Wasp. Opening it up, he saw a small digital music play before placing the earbuds in and turned it on.
"Begin playlist... Greatest hits of the 1940s..."
Captain America pressed the button again and smiled as the device spoke again.
"Change playlist... Modern."
