The Scepter
SHIELD had been splintered. Phil and I were the only ones to escape the attack on the new HQ, the playground. His orders had been to join up with Cap and Stark... and the rest of the gang.. Which meant I had, had to bring some friends to our world. Getting Percy, Eragon and Saphira had been the easy part... Harry had been a little harder, considering he left no forwarding address. He just kinda showed up when we needed him. And boy did we need our Chosen one.
Explosions, gunfire and shouts were all we could hear... oh yeah.. And roaring.. Lots of roaring. That happens when you have a Hulk and dragon on your side. Our mission was simple.. Infiltrate the Hydra base.. Grab the scepter. If the Avengers couldn't do that.. No one could.
"Stark, how is that shield coming?" Cap's voice came over our radio. Tony replied "Working on it." Then Harry said "I can't apperate in, we need to take it out." Thats when I interjected, taking on my role as leader of everything magical. "Eragon, Saphira, go help Tony. Try to magic your way in." And so our fight continued.
Hydra was not prepared for us.. Oh they thought they were, but they were far from it. They may have weapons which had not been seen since World War 2.. But we were a team, stronger than any orginization.. Nothing could break us apart. For the most part we fought on our own, but once and a while helped another buddy out, or was helped out by another buddy.
I dove down from the sky, landing beside Hulk. I blasted a few soldiers with my suits repulsor beams, then willed my sword to pop out of my suit.. The new mark 5. Modeled after the heartbreaker armor, this armor had all my weapons built into it, and could retract and pop out at will, making it an updated version of the mark 2. I pulled my sword from its sheath and stabbed a guy, twisted and slicing at another one. The Hulk jumped away to fight some other baddies as I turned and threw my sword away, it stabbing a guy about to shoot Tasha. I then turned to a tree falling, and saw one of the Hydra tanks.. The big badies, right in front of me, weapon already charged. No way to run.. No way to fight... the thing fired. The bubble of energy blew up on impact with my suit. Despite the ear splitting explosion, I heard Natasha scream "No!" I was fine though. The dust and snow from the explosion had just begun to settle when I lifted an arm, calling Kveykva back to my hand. Once it made contact I flew at the tank, landing on it and stabbing the magic blade through the metal. I then flipped over backwards and flew to a safe distance before I called lightning down to retrieve my sword, destroying the tank. I then lifted my hand and called my sword right back down. Once sheathed I took off into the sky saying "Ye of little faith Romanoff." I heard Natasha grunt as she took out another Hydra agent and said "Shit... don't do that to me ever again." Cap interrupted with "Language."
I laughed and continued my assault on Hydra. Tony said "Hold up.. Is no one going to comment on the fact Cap just said 'language'?" to which Steve replied " It just slipped out..Stark.. The shield." Silence.. And then "Taken care of." I smiled.. Finally.. "Harry, grab Percy and get in there. Eragon, come join the fight. We miss your knack of setting things on fire." There was a roar in the distance, to which I laughed and said "I know its your knack Saphira." Cap then said "Fly swift.. Hydra is sending everything they've got at us."
The fight continued as it had at the beginning.. The tides in our favor thanks to the Dragon on our side. It wasn't until Natasha said "Clint's hit." That we realized we weren't invincible. I quickly changed course and landed beside Tasha, looking at her, I said "Take care of him, I've got your back.. Always." I then proceeded to blast anything that got close.. Until it was all over. No more Hydra to blast. We had won this fight.
Steve orders "Potter, Grab Barton and apperate back to the Quinjet. Romanoff.. Its time to sing a lullaby to the big guy. Shadeslayer, go back to the quinjet and heal Barton. Thunder, Aqua, Thor, come with me and help me clear out the building... we've got empowered to deal with." I nod and look at Natasha. She throws me one of her smirks "Go kick ass love." I chuckle and say "Go not get your ass kicked hun" I then take off into the sky, angling towards the taken Hydra base.
Once inside there was little to nothing to do. Anyone inside had been taken care of by Tony, who has also found Loki's Scepter. The Captain began talking to the Hydra leader and that left Percy and Me with nothing to do except stand not to far off in case Cap needed backup. I had taken off my helmet and placed it on the table beside me. Percy lowered his hood, and I couldn't help but smirk at his new suit. A skin tight one like Steve's, except made from highly flame resistant fibers, and with body armor built into its layers. It was Aqua green, with a gold trident on his chest. I say "Tony did a great job designing that suit Perce.. Now you look like one of us" Percy rolls his eyes and said "I helped.. The trident was my idea." I rolled my own eyes and looked away, just in time to see someone with super speed zoom right past Cap and leave the area.
Strucker's experiments on the loose? That could NOT be good. However since we had no one with super speed on our team, we could not track him, so once we got all we could from the Hydra base, we left. I hoped never to return... it was too bloody cold.
