"Iron Man! Keep these things inside the perimeter, if they try to get past it, turn them to ash! Hawkeye, what's the status?" Captain America and the others were having a busy day. Someone named 'Doom' had sent some kind of robots to fight the Avengers, who were holding their own and seemed to be finally be getting the upper hand.
Falcon, Thor, and Vision were covering the air, blasting any robots that were air born. Iron Man was flying and watching the perimeter, making sure none of the robots made it to where civilians were bunkered down. Scarlet Witch and Black Widow were teaming up a few blocks over, using hand to hand and the Witch's awesome powers to defeat the bots. And the Hulk and Ant Man were taking care of the bigger bots that had begun to climb buildings.
"Looks like the majority of the bots are down Cap, Hulk just finished smashing the ones on 34th and is heading your way for back up," came the archers reply. He was up on a building scanning the area for any unfriendly movement when he noticed one of the bots lift a weapon they hadn't seen yet and aim it at their leader, whose back was to the bot as he battled another.
"Cap! Look out behind you!" was Hawkeyes frantic yell, but it was too late, the bot had fired a deadly looking blast at the Captain.
As the Captain turned, expecting to be hit by the blast only to find himself protected by something that looked familiar to him. It was something he had been trapped in for 70 years. Ice, at least 10 feet thick, and it had blocked the blast. But where had it come from? At that moment a piece of the Earth shot up and pierced the bot that had fired the blast, effectively destroying the last enemy.
"Steve!" Came Tony's worried cry, ignoring his boyfriend's codename, "I'm headed your way. Are you ok?"
"Yeah. Although, I thought I was about to be a Capsicle again." Everyone could hear the smirk in the Captain's response to Tony, which eased their fear of the Captain being hurt but made them curious as to what his statement meant.
"You will never let me live that insult down. Wait what do you-" Tony suddenly stopped speaking as he flew up and saw the scene. "Where the hell did all this ice come from? It's summer."
"I don't know," Clint said walking up with the rest of the team, "Steve was fighting and when he was about to get hit the ice sprung up out of nowhere to shield him."
"Not only that, but look at this," Steve said walking over to the last downed robot. "A piece of Earth formed a spear and pierced the robot. Stopping it from doing anything else."
"Ok, I know I am knew here," Scott Lang said as he returned to his normal size, flipping his face mask up, "but I'm pretty sure we don't know any super people who do that right?"
"No we don't, which means we need to find this person. We have to establish if they are friendly or a threat." This came from Natasha as she looked at the destroyed layers of ice that had no doubt saved their friend from being blasted into many pieces.
"Nat, whoever this was saved Cap here. I'm pretty sure that's friendly." Tony didn't who it had been, they had saved his love and they deserved a huge thanks.
"Tony, she's right," came Steve's strong voice, "While this person did save my life, they may not the next time. I mean, no one saw this coming. We didn't even know this was possible!"
"Well then, Friday, hack into government security files for potential threats. See if you can find anyone who matches the description of being able to create ice and manipulate Earth."
"I will begin immediately sir," came the AI's obedient reply.
"How'd everyone hold up? Any injuries that need immediate treatment?" Captain was scanning his eyes over each teammate even as he asked.
A chorus of 'we're fine's echoed around him, followed by Clint's sarcastic 'mom' directed at the Captain. Tony fired a small shock at the archer.
"Ouch! Damnit Tony!"
