"That hurt," Clint groaned, "Move your heavy ass legs OFF me, Wilson."

"Shut up, Barton," Sam said, getting up.

"Is everyone fine?" Steve asked, wiping away some dust from his face.

"We are," Nat confirmed.

"Where are we?" Bucky asked.

"Forget that, where's Peter?" Bruce cut in.

"Pete? Kiddo?" Tony immediately shot up.

"I'm here," Peter's voice echoed from somewhere further ahead.

"Stay there, kid, we're coming," Clint called out, "Note to self, never underestimate magic people again, they'll leave you in a dark cave."

"Shut up, Clint," Nat rolled her eyes, already walking ahead.

"Spider-Brat, are you okay?" Sam asked.

"Yes, I am," Peter beamed brightly, mask off. The Avengers immediately relaxed and smiled back, "I just saw something shining on the ground so I went to pick it up," he pouted, "It was a bottle cap."

Tony chuckled and pulled Peter in a hug, quietly asking FRIDAY to scan for injuries.

"I can hear you, Mr. Stark," Peter rolled his eyes, "I'm fine."

"I'll be the judge of that," Tony retorted.

"Now that we have our Spider-Baby," Nat said, smiling teasingly when Peter huffed, "Where are we?"

"Last I remember, one of the Sorcerer's opened a portal of some sort under us," Steve said,  removing his cowl and running a hand through his hair.

"Let's find an opening first," Bruce said, "We can figure out where we are from there."

Time skip: They find the opening.

"This answered nothing," Sam groaned.

"Who are you all?"

All of them immediately turned around and fell in their battle stances.

.

.

.

"Tony?" Bruce asked.

"Yes?" two voices said.

"How the fu-"

"Language," Bucky huffed.

"Let it go," Steve groaned.

The AUTony narrowed his eyes calculatingly, "Time travel or alternate universe?"

"I think it might be an alternate universe," Bruce said mildly.

"FRIDAY, scan," AUTony and Tony commanded in unison.

"Scans confirm that the unknown persons are the Avengers," AUFRIDAY and FRIDAY replied dutifully. AUTony lowered his gauntlet, followed by the others.

"Hey," Peter bounded in front, "Where am I if this is an alternate universe?"

"Who are you?" AUNat asked coldly.

Peter's smile dimmed, "Peter Parker? Spider-Man?"

"There's no Spider-Man," AUSteve said.

"Oh," Peter deflated slightly.

"Doesn't matter kiddo," Tony pulled him towards himself, ruffling his hair, "This means you're one of a kind," he winked obnoxiously, heart lifting when Peter giggled.

AUTony watched this conversation weirdly, then said, "Come along to the tower then."

**********

"Wow, this room is depressing," Clint said, collapsing on the generic white sofa.

"What is the living room like in your universe?" AUClint asked.

"Pete and Thor had decorated it," Tony said, "They had put this comfy brown sofa and bean bags. Peter has also framed many of the cards our younger fans sent us, along with the gifts and plushies."

"Steve nearly fainted from the cuteness the first time he saw the living room," Bucky chuckled, sitting next to Tony.

"Hey, it was cute," Steve said, sitting on the ground and resting his back against Tony's legs, "Did you see what the kids had written and the small little spelling errors?"

"Understandable," Nat chuckled, settling down next to Clint.

"Wait wait wait," AUTony cut in, "How are you," he pointed at Tony, "Sitting with them," he pointed at Steve and Bucky, "So comfortably?"

"What?" Tony frowned slightly, sharing a look with Bucky, "What do you- oh."

"What did you just realize, impart your knowledge on us, oh genius of mine," Clint said dramatically, kicking off his shoes and resting his head on Nat's lap.

"Shush," Tony said, not even looking at him, "Remember why we talked everything out?"

All the Avengers' eyes lit up and they looked at Peter in unison, who was bouncing around in the kitchen.

"We talked everything out because of him?" AUSteve pointed at Peter doubtfully.

Sam shook his head, "You don't know the kid's power."

"What are you guys talking about?" Peter asked, sitting down beside Bruce and curling up against him.

AUBruce choked on air, "Are you not afraid...?"

"Afraid of whom?" Peter frowned.

"The Other Guy," AUBruce clarified.

"Hulk loves him," Bucky interrupted, "They play catch every Saturday."

All the AUAvengers stared at Peter in shock.

"He's cute," Peter shrugged, "And I want something to eat please," he looked at Steve with wide puppy eyes.

"What were you doing in the kitchen?" Steve huffed, but got up and went in.

"I was familiarizing myself with the place," Peter defended.

"You couldn't understand what to eat," Nat concluded.

"I couldn't understand what to eat," he agreed.

AUNat tilted her head slightly at the soft smile Nat wore on her face as she ruffled Peter's hair.

"Peter, come choose what you want in your pancakes," Steve called from the kitchen.

"Get some blueberries in," Tony whispered.

"Aye aye," Peter winked and ran into the kitchen.

.

.

.

"Tony if you wanted blueberries, tell me yourself," Steve yelled from the kitchen a few seconds later, "And don't make the kid do all the work."

"I want blueberries, Capsicle," Tony yelled.

"I got you, Shellhead," Steve yelled back teasingly.

"It's so weird seeing them all comfortable," AUClint whispered none too gently to AUSam.

"Is there a Doctor Strange in this universe?" Tony asked, stretching like a cat.

"Yes, Sorcerer Supreme, Super-Serious All The Time, No Fun Wizard," AUSam said.

"Cool, we'll contact him, he'll be able to send us back," Clint finished the thought.

"He's away," AUNat said, "He'll be back in a few hours."

No one questioned how she knew that.

"We'll entertain ourselves for a while," Nat shrugged.

"Pancakes," Steve called from the kitchen, "I've made enough for everyone, so settle down."

"Steve's pancakes," Tony moaned and ran to the dining table.

"Never let me hear that again," Sam deadpanned.

The AUAvengers exchanged looks and walked to the dining table too. Steve seemed to be waiting for everyone to settle down. Then...

"I have pancakes," Steve announced, flourishing the plates, "And a Spider-Baby," he turned around dramatically to reveal Peter clinging to him, looking tiny against his broad back. Peter giggled and turned his head to grin at the Avengers and AUAvengers, "Heyo muchachos."

All the Avengers burst out clapping and cheering.

"They do this every time," Sam whispered to AUSteve, who was looking at Steve as if he couldn't believe they were the same people.

"Can I have some pancakes now?" Tony whined.

"There's no appreciation of art in this place," Peter huffed and dropped off Steve's back as he served Tony his pancakes. He stopped and stared, "There's no seat for me."

Bucky coughed pointedly and pushed back his seat slightly. Peter brightened up and settled on his lap. Steve placed another plate on pancakes in front of Peter.

"Why are the other yous so tense?" Peter whispered to Bucky.

"Butterfly effect, kid," Bucky murmured. Peter's eyes lit up with understanding.

"That's sad," he took another bite of his pancakes, noticing the stark contrast between the two teams. The Avengers were teasing and talking with each other, stealing food and sharing amongst themselves. The AUAvengers were sitting stiffly, a clear divide between the two sides of the Civil War. Peter frowned slightly, then made up his mind.

He needs to break the ice.

"Guys," Peter said, standing up, "We need to give each other names to communicate with each other!"

"What do you suggest, kiddo," Tony asked, chewing on a blueberry. Peter smirked, "Glad you asked."

"What have you done?" Nat hissed. Tony shrugged, stealing a blueberry from Bruce's plate.

"You," he pointed at AUTony, "Are Tones. And you," he pointed at Tony, "Are Tony or Mr. Stark to me."

"Or you could just call me Tony," Tony said, raising an eyebrow.

"Don't you ever make a suggestion like that again, Mr. Stark," Peter said seriously.

"Hold up, I didn't agree to this," Tones said, raising his hand.

"Well, you need to agree now, Tones," AUSteve said, slightly teasingly.

Tones huffed and slumped in his seat.

"You!" Peter pointed at AUClint, "Are Legolas. And you," he pointed at Clint, "are Clint."

"Why are you giving us the weird names?" Legolas asked, wrinkling his nose.

"Because it's fun, keep up, Legolas," Peter huffed, "You," he pointed at AUNat, "Are Natashalie. And you," he pointed at Nat, "Are Nat."

"Never point your finger at me again," Natashalie said.

"You," he pointed at AUSteve, ignoring Natashalie, "Are Froggy. And you," he pointed at Steve, "Are Steve."

"Why?" Froggy asked despairingly.

"A wood frog can be alive after being frozen," Peter promptly said, "You!" he pointed at AUBruce, "Are Green Bean. And you," he pointed at Bruce, "Are Bruce."

"I'm not even going to try," Green Bean sighed.

"Now you!" he pointed at AUSam, "Are Birdy. And you!" he pointed at Sam, "Are Sam."

"That nickname got old a long time ago," Birdy rolled his eyes.

"Shut. Finally, You!" he pointed at AUBucky, who was looking entertained, "Are Cyborg. And you," he pointed at Bucky, "Are Bucky."

"These nicknames got worse and worse," Froggy muttered.

"And now, you guys collectively," he pointed at the AUAvengers, "Are the Avengers. And we," he pointed at himself and his family, "Are the Assvengers because we have amazing asses. Well, you've all been christened. I'm going to sleep now, you guys do... old-people things," and he ran out of the room, dodging the slipper Nat threw after him.

"He's cute," Legolas said, chuckling.

"He is," the Assvengers agreed.

The two teams stared at each other for a moment.

"Excuse me, I need to talk with myself," Tony said, standing up and pulling Tones out of the room.

"We do too," Steve and Bucky said, motioning Froggy and Cyborg to follow them.

"Well, this is awkward," Clint whistled, then he brightened up. "Do you play Mario Cart?" he asked Legolas.

Legolas smirked.

Clint smirked.

Nat, Natashalie, Sam, Birdy, Bruce, and Green Bean looked at each other despairingly.

**********

"What are you lot doing here?" Dr. Strange asked exasperatedly.

"Magicians," Tony shrugged.

"We went yeet," Peter helpfully added.

Strange sighed but opened a portal for them.

"Bye Avengers," Peter waved at them, eyes sparkling as he noticed that all of them (specifically Tones, Froggy, and Cyborg) looked much more comfortable with each other after their talks with their counterparts.

"Bye Assvengers," Legolas waved back teasingly.

The Assvengers stepped through the portal, breathing a sigh of relief at the familiar living room.

"Arrow!" Clint went to the sofa and collapsed on top of a huge hawk plushie, "Oh, how I have missed you."

"First things first," Tony clapped his hands, "We will throw Peter a huge party."

"What?" Peter looked at them with huge puppy eyes, "Why?"

"For being in our lives and knocking sense in us," Steve promptly said and began discussing the food for the party with Bruce and Tony.

"We're nothing without you," Nat murmured, pressing a kiss to his forehead.

Peter blushed, hiding his face in a very amused Sam's neck, who began teasing him mercilessly.

All was well.
