AN: ummmm... Oh yeah! I wanted to say that I have no clue why this hasn't been written yet. Like, it's super easy to write Splatoon crossover, you just have to come up with a plausible reason for time travel.
AN2: Criticism is welcome, flames will be used to cook my Quorn nuggets because vegetarianism

Agent Eight was on her first official mission as an agent, recapturing a single zapfish. It wasn't the most important, but still needed doing. She saw it in a protective bubble, much like the ones in Rainmaker, one of her favourite games. She shot it for a minute, but it still didn't burst, so she decided to try some of the octo tech she'd stolen from that facility. Ugh. She put it on her gun and shuddered a bit at the memories. She shot a few more times, but when it burst, it became an implosion, sucking in ink, the tiny zapfish, and her.
Tony Stark was falling through the wormhole at high speeds, his armour weighing him down. However, Natasha noticed before she closed the portal, there was another body falling through, seemingly more conscious than Stark. Huh. It shot something out of an... umbrella? However, she resolved to look later, as a member of her team could currently be dead.
It was only after the battle, in a shawarma shop, that Tony noticed a stain of ink slowly dripping down the side of his tower. So when they'd all finished eating, he'd sighed and grabbed a bucket of water. After all, no-one else could do it. Sure, Thor could fly, but his hammer would stop him cleaning.
He was hovering by the stain, ready to clean it all off, when he heard a garbled voice. He could recognise a few words as perhaps English and Japanese, but the rest was confusing.
"Hello? I didn't expect anyone to be living on the side of my tower, but so that you know, I'm evicting you," he said slowly. He expected maybe some weird robot thing or animal to move, but not for some kind of person (mutant?) to start falling off the tower. They (she?) shot more ink out of their umbrella (weapon, gun?) while cuddling an odd fish and jumped in somehow turning into a creature. (squid, octopus?) He decided to carry them (it?) into the Tower, if only to run some tests. Upon being picked up (definitely an octopus) it shifted back into the odd humanoid form.
Natasha was going to head out to check on that person that had fallen through the hole, after realising that she'd forgotten in all the shawarma-y goodness, but when Stark flew in carrying a humanoid, probably a mutant, she had to investigate. She followed the man into the common area, which while already easy, had become even easier after hearing the very loud... Talking? She supposed that it was talking, even if it was in the way animals talked. It was consistent and sounded somewhat frustrated with the man.
"Tony, what do you have there?" Bruce asked, somewhat accusingly. Before answering, he put the (creature, mutant?) down and got out of the suit, and for once, the (mutant, probably) was silent, and it appeared as if something was sinking in.
"Just a damsel in distress that I rescued, so I am very obviously a knight in the best armour to ever exist," he replied. Natasha was content to watch for a while, at least until she needed to intervene.
"Rescued, or kidnapped?"
"She was in a splat of ink on the side of the Tower!"
"We're not running tests on her then. Not until she can give permission." While the two Avengers were debating about the mutant, said person had found a pen paper and a fish tank (from where Natasha had no clue, Stark nearly always relied on computers) and started to write, after putting some ink and the fish in the tank. When she (no doubt, from her.. hair?) had finished, she made a sound and pointed at what she had written.
"Where am I?" Tony read, and Bruce wrote down a message, saying, 'Can you speak or understand English that's not written down.' She shook her head and pointed at what she had written. After an incredibly short conversation on paper, the mutant was looking very, very sad. Miserable. The Avengers has learned nothing and dll that she'd learned was that she was in Stark Tower in New York in 2012, but she looked distraught. Like she'd lost a loved one, or perhaps many. 'Toilet?' she wrote, and while the scientists looked unable to cope with a possibly crying mutant, Natasha was at least able to step in and show her to a bathroom. Outside, she heard the unmistakable sound of sobbing, and wondered what this person had lost.
Eight was trembling, inky tears pouring out her eyes, never stopping. The people who'd started to matter were gone, in a future 10,000 years from now. The woman was nice, probably one of the Avengers if she remembered correctly from the museum she'd visited with... Oreo. Oreo, the girl she'd diagnosed after remembering old friends, Oreo, the girl that was one of her best friends, still annoyed about Cuttlefish... Cap'n Cuttlefish, the guy who went through that facility with her, who had acted so ridiculous in that chat room... She remembered each of her friends, crying more for each one that she'd left... Behind? Ahead? It didn't matter really, but curse that stupid tech! She shouldn't have used it to get the zapfish... Wait! Maybe she could get back! Iron Man, he was a genius right? And she'd had experience with tech, she loved experimenting on it with Oreo! She wiped the tears away and decided that starting now, she'd do everything it took to get back. She might have to write everything down, but it might work. She opened the door, and knew that she was going to get back, no matter what it took.
Natasha saw the hope on the mutant's face as she opened the door, and braced herself for the potential consequences.
So? What did you guys think? I'm not going to hold chapters hostage for reviews, but I appreciate them a lot and they motivate me!
