OH MY GOSH IT'S HERE! AHHHHHHHHHHH!
Synopsis: Everything in the last two and a half years of Avengers work has boiled down into this amazing moment. (wow, I've almost been writing these stories for that same amount of time!). Clint, on a mission to take down his psychotic brother, Barney, is suddenly stolen from his mission. Together with Steve and Tony, they are dropped into the midst of a civil uprising on Alfheimr. With tensions between Alfheimr and Asgard boiling over since the Dark Elves' invasion, the King and Queen have done what they could to preserve the peace. But that is now threatening to shatter to the core. Someone wants Clint dead on Alfheimr soil. But what is their motive? Why now, when Clint would rather be just about anywhere else? Will he get back to earth on time to destroy his brother's evil plot? Or will the country fall before he can return? What in the world will happen to them! Find out!
Prologue
Ok, this looks bad but trust me, it feels worse. It's not every day I spend my morning hiding out in a snow drift from the sudden onslaught of HYDRA agents who were supposed to be my back up. It is typical to get a little bail out from Tony and Steve now and again, of which today, I am not grateful for. But seriously, trouble seems to find the three of us despite our best efforts to avoid it. I swear, this time, I had nothing to do with the sudden interdimensional portal that literally picked us up from my on sight mission in the Bavarian Alps and dropped us in the middle of a thousand year old forest in God-knows-what-realm.
I distinctly remembered the fight I was engaging Steve and Tony in. I cursed at them first, and then socked Tony in the face. I think I broke my hand at that point but I wasn't totally sure. Besides, they both deserved it. It was their fault that I'd lost the most important thing in my life. They'd destroyed me from the outside in and the last thing I wanted was their help now! I was on a mission. I needed to stay on that mission and the Avengers were getting in the way of my life.
But I never got the chance to tell them just how much I hated them. A mass of light and Asgardian energy swept us up. Starbursts blasted passed our eyes and the tail end of my rant was completed from my back which splayed against an unknown woodland grass bed. I hardly managed to get my feet under me before the first foreign arrow sailed near my skull.
I jumped to high alert. Steve barked orders as the clang of his shield sailing against some unseen foe rung into the air. Tony's repulsers flared beside me. I summoned my bow, set an arrow to the string and got my first look at this strange new land that was most certainly not Germany. A second arrow shaft burst from the copse of trees. I tried to move, avoid it, deflect it, but I could do nothing to get out of the way. The force of the impact slammed into me like a fist. It threw me back, the tip embedded into Tony's chest plates and suddenly I was stuck without my trigger arm. As you can imagine, I screamed like a wuss.
This is where that "it feels worse" line comes in. I tended to be the one putting arrows into people and I can tell you I did not appreciate being on the receiving end for once. Let alone the fact that I was stuck to Stark's chest like a pinned insect.
Steve mentioned something about getting to the woods but I was too distracted with maintaining the integrity of my collar bone to care what he said. Under the continued hail of arrow fire, I felt Tony's armored arms bear hug my chest to keep me still. We lifted off the ground and together, we blasted across the field and took off into the thick trunks of the overgrown trees. If I wasn't mistaken . . . this place actually looked familiar. It seemed we were on Alfenheim.
That meant we were mostly likely being shot at by elves.
Elves were supposed to be peaceful.
Ok, if dealing with a HYDRA invasion and my murderous brother weren't bad enough, this just got a whole lot worse.
