AN: Okay, so here's the next installment to my Alex series. Hope everyone enjoys it! It's all handwritten out, so it's just a matter of typing it into the computer and uploading it; so, it shouldn't take a long time to update. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing of The Avengers.
"I'm surprised your parents allowed you to come out here," Joey says as he hands Alex and Johnny a beer.
"They don't know I'm here," Alex replies with a smirk.
"Huh. You really are Barton's kid," Joey replies with his own smirk.
"Yeah. Wait till you see her temper. All Romanov," Johnny adds in with a chuckle. Alex scowls and punches him in the bicep.
It was the end of the school year and they were celebrating with the other kids from the SHIELD program. Of course, there was alcohol and Alex knew her parents would never allow her to come to the party. So, instead, she said she and Johnny were going to the carnival at the edge of the city.
Alex looks around the group surrounding her. There was the host, Joey, who was Telekinetic. Michelle, who could control people's minds. Lee, who could teleport. And Bree, who was a Junior SHIELD agent, before Hydra disassembled it, like most of the other teenagers at the party. There's a chuckle and Alex turns her attention back to the conversation.
Joey was moving water from the nearby pond through the air. He hovers it over a group of agents before letting it drop. The water splashes on top of them and they let out shouts and squeals of surprise. Joey, Johnny, and Alex laugh causing the wet agents to glare at them. They head in Alex, Johnny, and Joey's direction but there is a loud explosion that sends trembles through the ground.
"What was that?" Alex asks as she and the rest of the Junior Agents look around for the cause of the explosion. There is a large cloud of smoke billowing into the sky from in front of the rundown house they are at.
"Our cars!" someone shouts from behind them.
"Something's wrong," Johnny says from right next to her. He's searching their surroundings for anything out of the ordinary.
"Johnny. There," Alex says as she points into the sky where a SHIELD plane has appeared.
"Something tells me that's not SHIELD," Joey says with a scowl as he sidles up next to them.
"Maybe we should call your parents," Johnny says with a glance towards Alex. Alex shakes her head.
"No way. I'd rather take these guys on myself," Alex says as she watches the plane. Suddenly, two more planes zoom by overhead. One of them drops something the the three Junior Agents drop to the ground as the house explodes. Alex throws her arms over her head. Debris flies by her and falls on top and around her. Johnny and Joey look over at her.
"You were saying?" Johnny asks as the three of them push themselves to their feet.
"I got it. Geez. I'm calling," Alex replies with a huff. She pulls out her phone and begins dialing.
"You're calling your parents?" Joey asks with raised eyebrows, not really believing it.
"Hell no. I'm calling Steve," Alex says with a grimace. Johnny snorts and shakes his head. Alex turns towards her phone at her ear as the call is answered. "Steve, something's going…"
Another explosion occurs, cutting her off, and Alex curses as she looks over at the large crater in the middle of the yard as she hears Steve shout her name over the phone. The other Junior Agents are shouting and running into the woods nearby. One of the planes begins shooting at the retreating teens.
"We need to get out of here! Now!" Lee shouts as he abruptly appears in front of them.
"We need help!" Bree shouts from a few feet away.
"I'm getting there. Give me a damn minute," Alex growls out with a scowl.
"Alex?" Steve's voice calls again through the phone.
"We kind of don't have a minute Barton!" Michelle shouts at Alex from behind them. Alex looks behind her and glares at Michelle.
"Then give me a minute," Alex shouts in return. Michelle scowls but looks up at the plane shooting at them.
"Alex!" Steve shouts through the phone. Alex turns her attention back to Steve.
"We're under attack. I'm pretty sure it's Hydra," Alex explains into the phone.
"Pretty sure?" Steve asks and Alex can hear the scowl in his voice. Alex glances over at Michelle and sees her concentrating on the plane. Alex looks up at the plane and sees it suddenly nose dive into the ground.
"They have SHIELD planes. I'm 90% sure," Alex replies as she sees one of the other planes turn towards them.
"Alex…" Johnny calls out as they all begin backing up. "I think your minute is up."
The plane zooms towards them and Alex rattles off where they are to Steve and the six of them run into the woods. Alex shoves her phone into her pocket as they run. Bullets whiz by them and they dart in between the trees. Joey stops and turns around; he looks at a tree and flings a hand in it's direction. The tree rips out of the earth and Joey waves his hand towards the plane. The tree flies through the air and crashes into the plane. The plane tilts and dive bombs into the ground with a crash.
"We need to get to Avenger Tower," Alex says to the group.
"I can get us there but I can only take one person at a time," Lee says with a look at the rest of the group. A noise sounds from behind them and the group looks to see people run towards them with guns.
"Hydra," Alex says in a whisper.
"If you're doing it, you better start now," Joey says to Lee, who nods.
"I wish I had my bow and arrows," Alex mutters as she readies herself for a fight. Lee grabs the person closest to him, which is Bree, and they disappear.
"We're not getting out of this without a fight. Get ready," Johnny announces to the group. Alex looks back ahead of her and sees the Hydra agents approach them.
"Hundred points for every knockout," Alex says before attacking the nearest Hydra Agent.
AVENGERS
Steve lets out a growl as the call disconnects. He quickly runs to where his suit is to get dressed. This wasn't good; the thought the worst of Hydra was taken care of. Apparently not, and now they were attacking the Junior Agents. Steve wondered why Alex had called him but when she told him where they were he knew. She had gone to the party with the other Junior Agents and Barton and Romanov were not going to be happy.
"JARVIS, get the rest of the team," Steve orders before getting his suit on. He didn't know how bad it was, but it sounded pretty bad over the phone, and Steve knew he had to get there fast.
AVENGERS
Alex punches her opponent in the face, knees him in the gut, and then flips him over her hip onto the ground. She glances up as Lee appears and grabs Michelle before the two of them disappear.
A body flies past her and crashes into a tree before sliding to the ground. Alex looks over and sees Johnny turn to another Hydra agent and begin fighting again.
"Alex, watch out!" Joey shouts and Alex looks behind her to see a large gun aimed at her. Just as a beam shoots out of the gun towards her, Alex feels herself raise into the air. She watches as the beam hits another member of Hydra and they instantly freeze. The agent with the gun gets plowed into with another body as Alex is set back on the ground. Alex looks over at Joey and nods her head in thanks.
Lee appears and then, disappears with Joey and Alex turns to an approaching Hydra operative. Alex attacks her as the operative pulls a gun on her. Alex hits the agent a few times before breaking her arm causing her to lose the gun. Alex knocks the agent out and pick sup the gun. Turning, Alex begins shooting at the Hydra agents nearby.
Johnny glances to his side after Alex shoots his opponent and Lee appears next to him. Lee moves to grab him but Johnny steps back and shakes his head. A Hydra agent throws a punch at Johnny and he deflects it before throwing him into a tree. Johnny turns his attention back to Lee.
"No, get Alex first," he says with a nod towards his partner. Lee nods his head but Johnny calls out to him as he sees an enormous amount of Hydra agents descend upon them. "And no matter what, you get her out of here."
Lee nods his head again but gives Johnny a wary look. Johnny turns to the coming onslaught and attacks them full force. Lee runs over to Alex who slams her elbow into a Hydra agent. Alex turns to meet Lee's gaze.
"Where's Johnny?" Alex asks and Lee looks towards the other direction. Alex follows his gaze and her eyes grow large. "Johnny."
Alex moves to run towards her partner but Lee quickly grabs her. He knew what Johnny was doing and hopefully he'd be able to get back in time to save Johnny. Alex fights him and shouts at him to let her go but Lee remembered what Johnny made him promise and teleports his self and Alex to Avenger tower just as they see Hydra take down Johnny and restrain him.
AVENGERS
Steve waits as the elevator dings and the door opens. He rushes out, intent on getting his motorcycle, only to stop abruptly. Two teenagers appear directly in front of him and Steve readies himself for a fight. The two teenagers look at him with wide eyes and raise their hands in placation.
"Whoa! We're friends of Alex," Bree says before Steve relaxes. Lee disappears and Steve's eyes widen.
"What was that?" he asks as he looks over at Bree.
"That's Lee. He can teleport. I'm Bree," Bree explains and Steve nods his head. Lee appears with another girl before disappearing again.
"That's Michelle; she messes with people's minds," Bree says as she points at the newcomer.
"Hi," Steve says with a nod at the new arrival.
"Hi," Michelle replies with a nervous smile. There is angry talking coming from the elevator and when it opens, the rest of the Avengers' team rushes out clothed in their suits. They stop as they notice the two teen-aged girls standing in front of Steve. Lee appears with Joey and then teleports back to where Alex and Johnny are. The Avengers look at the recent arrivals.
"Hey, I'm Joey," Joey says with a wave and a lopsided grin, weariness leaking through the facade.
"Michelle."
"Bree."
"That was Lee," Joey says with a nod at the spot Lee was seconds ago.
"Alex? Where is she?" Natasha asks with a look at Joey. She had remembered seeing him a couple times when Alex's friends came over.
"She's coming. Lee could only take one of us at a time," Joey explains with a look at Romanov.
"I'm sorry but I'm not going to just wait here and hope he can get her back safely," Clint says with a determined look. He begins walking towards the door but stops as Lee appears with an angry Alex shouting at him.
"Dammit Lee, let go of me!" Alex shouts and Lee finally drops his arms. Alex whips around and glares at the teleporter. "Take me back! Now!"
"Alex…" Lee begins with a set jaw.
"Take me back! I'm not leaving him there!" Alex shouts back with a scowl and a set jaw of her own.
"Hold on, what happened?" Steve asks as he steps over to the boy and the girl who had become like his niece. In fact, he's sure Alex had become like a niece to all of the team, except her parents of course.
"Hydra got Johnny. We have to go back and get him," Alex explains looking over at Steve.
"Alright. Stark, Thor, and I'll go check it out. They're probably gone now but we'll look," Steve says with a look at the rest of the team. Thor and Tony nod their heads and the three of them exit the building.
"Are you okay?" Natasha asks after walking over to Alex.
"I'm fine. A few bumps and bruises but I'm good," Alex says with shrug. Her mind was too focused on Johnny to care. Bruce and Clint share a look and Bruce ushers the other four teenagers into the elevator.
"We'll get him back," Barton assures with his hand resting on his daughter's shoulder. Alex nods and sighs. They would; she wouldn't give up until they did.
