The Enchantress had magic pouring right off of her even Tyler's demon could sense it.
Tyler spoke up, "A plan would be nice."
She laughed for she knew that these mortals weren't a threat and she even knew that where Loki had failed she would succeed. This realm called Midgard was no match for her and she also noticed that Thor had changed as well. "So you had got a new weapon Thor son of Odin and I sense an awakening of power."
Thor gripped his new hammer ready to battle. "Leave this realm for it's under my protection."
She smirked. "Please these mortals are nothing but dust for their lives are short and I will rule them all." Soon she felt a direct hit as Ravi's shield hit her.
"You talk too much," he said with a smirk. She stumbled and counter attacked. He raised his shield but he felt someone protect him and it was Steve himself.
"Everyone attack!" Steve ordered.
Ravi glanced at the others especially Tyler. "You are in control you can do this."
Tyler nodded and closed his eyes. "Curson this is it I trust you but don't you dare do anything to harm my friends."
The demon smirked. "Human if you put your trust in me you better mean it." Soon Tyler felt himself hit the ground and then he saw The Enchantress right near him.
"You will be the first to go for you will be a lesson for the rest." She raised her hands in an attack.
"Back off, skank!" Phebe yelled and shot a white hot beam of energy that knocked the enchantress off-balance. The Enchantress growled and soon she and Phebe were in a magic shooting match. Ravi was giving her back up.
"Hey are you alright?" Cairo asked as she held a hand out to Tyler to help him up from the ground. Tyler hesitated a moment before taking it.
"Yeah thanks," Tyler said, but he inwardly projected annoyance towards Curson. 'I do put my trust in your power…' Tyler thought. He felt Curson's delight in his answer. It made Tyler uneasy, the more he relied on this demon the more power over him it gained.
'Alright, I'll lend you a bit of my power for now,' Curson laughed and as soon as the demon answered him Tyler felt dark power spread through him.
At that same moment Phebe was overcome by Enchantresses power and was sent flying into a nearby building. Ravi was quickly overcome as well, a pair of energy vines shot up from the ground and wrapped him up in a vice-like grip. He was suddenly immobilized.
"Crap…" Ravi grunted as he struggled to free himself. Enchantress just chuckled at his pitiful efforts and walked forward and grabbed his face so hard that her perfectly manicured nails left crescents in his cheeks as red as her nail polish.
"Well that was annoying…it's going to be fun crushing you like the bugs you all are," she growled.
Tyler stepped forward with his hands gripped into tight fists. His teammates needed him now more than ever.
Cairo moved to the side and put her arm on the Enchantress's. "Don't touch my brother!" She felt the strange power course through her and she heard her brother yelling at her but she couldn't comprehend. She felt the magic and she knew that she wouldn't have control over it. "Get away from him I said."
She blasted the Enchantress so hard that it completely sent her flying from him which also led to the release of her brother. She than felt faint and her brother caught her as she hit the ground.
The Enchantress was shocked by the power of that girl. "You are a strong one but I will kill you all." She was pissed now and set her sight on the siblings but Tyler stepped in front of them.
"Take them and you will have to kill me too. I hate magic I wish I had a normal life. I wish the past could be changed but it can't because there would be a price if you tried. I hate aliens who think that Earth is theirs to take when humanity was better off not knowing but thanks to Thor and his crazed adopted brother Loki we can't change that either. I assume you are Asgardian as well since you know Thor but I know one thing for sure is that I can do this for my friends. I will avenge them."
The Enchantress laughed. "You possess great power join me little one."
Tyler smirked. "Sorry but I don't take orders. I call upon the demon gate of hell come forth Curson and lend me your power." He felt the surge of darkness multiply tenfold and he blasted her so hard that she was knocked into the building.
The Enchantress turned to the Avengers. "This is not over not by a long shot." She vanished and Tyler felt himself starting to lose control. It took all of his strength to regain control.
"Curson stop!"
Soon the darkness lifted and he fainted.
Tony turned to his team. "Get them back to the headquarters now. He had Tyler while Steve got Cairo and the Hulk got Phebe which soon everyone was on the quin jet that had been summoned to their location. Once they were back at the headquarters the kids were taken to the infirmary where Bruce started checking the kids and Natasha stood nearby keeping a watchful eye on them.
"Hey, how are they doing?" Clint asked as he came up to stand next to Natasha. She had a tight smile on her face.
"They'll all recover, but that was a tense situation today. I'm afraid we have a lot of training ahead of us," she told him. Clint nodded. He knew it was thanks to Tyler's powerful but volatile magic that they had walked away victorious from the fight with Enchantress.
"Well, it wasn't bad for such a powerful enemy…and it was their first battle as a team after all. I know they'll get better," Clint said and he really did feel confident. They just had to work on control with the kids' powers. Natasha smiled for real this time and let out a little sigh.
"Alright, you have a point," she relented. "It was just hard to see them being thrown around and I hate seeing them injured."
"Yes, but really all things considered their injuries were pretty mild," Bruce broke in. "I've released them all to their rooms to rest."
Natasha was thankful the kids were fine considering how lucky all of them were. She turned to Clint. "Come on we need to talk over the training schedule." She thanked Bruce and Clint followed her out. They made their way to their room to talk.
Tony was back in the lab when he heard FRIDAY announce Tyler was waiting outside. He allowed the kid inside. "I thought you would be in recovery."
Tyler gave him a small smile. "I wanted to talk." Tony ushered the kid to sit down and Tyler took it. "Thank you for helping me back there." He wanted to show his appreciation but Tony had a feeling there was something more.
At the same time Cairo knocked on Ravi's door waiting for her brother to answer and she had invited Phebe to come with her but she told Cairo that she just wanted to stay where she was and thanked her for the invitation.
Ravi opened the door. "You should be resting Cairo."
Cairo smirked. "I came to talk brother." He invited her inside the room.
Ravi sighed as Cairo skipped across the room and deposited herself onto his bed. She then pulled out a small pouch and patted the space in front of her. "Come sit," she said. Ravi did as she asked and Cairo smiled as she pulled out a bottle of rubbing alcohol and some cotton balls. She dipped one in the alcohol and then gently touched it to the cuts the Enchantress had left on her brother's face. He didn't flinch but she knew the alcohol had to burn. "You look funny with these nail imprints trailing down the side of your face," she told him.
"You said that you wanted to talk?" Ravi asked as the corners of his lips turned up.
Cairo dropped her guard a little. "You know when you were captured I thought I was going to lose my only remaining family. I was scared brother."
Ravi knew that he was responsible for her since their parents were gone, well Cairo still had hope that they were only missing since they never saw the bodies, but it had been years. He was her guardian now after all and guilt slowly came upon him.
"I'm sorry for worrying you, but you had done the same to me today."
Cairo knew that. "I know and I'm sorry as well."
Ravi met her gaze. "I trust you sister and you must trust me because in the end I will fight with everything I have to stay alive."
Cairo smiled. "Than I promise you this that I will try to not take unnecessary risks and I will do the same." She gave him a quick hug which he was glad that they were going to be ok. She got up and took her leave to go check on her friend which Ravi decided to go check on Tyler.
Thor had told the team he had to leave for he had something important to do. He arrived in Norway and found the one person he needed to talk to.
"Brother I know that we had somewhat helped each other on Asgard but I need your help."
Loki smirked. "You must be desperate to come to me for help."
Valkyrie spoke up. "I will help you as well your majesty."
Thor turned serious. "I need information on The Enchantress."
"Well, I can help a little with that…she stole the form of one of my sisters…," Valkyrie told them. "Her name was Brunnhilde."
"Hmm," Loki said as he took in that information. "I also have her name mentioned in the mages' circles. Apparently she uses her…assets" Loki looked Valkyrie up and down as he said it and holds up his hands in surrender when she gives him a menacing look, "..to trick the most powerful mages into revealing their secrets and she is quite powerful because of that."
Thor took in this information but it really didn't help much. "I need to know what weakness she has."
Loki knew that answer immediately. "It's easy really she never fights herself she always summons minions for her bidding. She is vulnerable in a one on one fight. If you want brother I can help you fight her and so can our friend here." Loki smirked for he knew that Valkyrie would want revenge for her sister in arms.
Thor wasn't so sure if this was a trick because Loki could ally himself with her than there would be more of threat to deal with. "I think we can handle it brother and thank you for the information." He left giving the look to his friend who nodded for Loki wasn't going to escape her gaze.
Loki laughed. "You will need me again brother." Thor heard that as he made his way back to Headquarters.
Meanwhile back in the lab, Tony waited and Tyler spoke up, "This thing that is attached to me I didn't ask for it. It was placed upon me because it's a curse."
Tony knew where this conversation was going. "You didn't ask for it kid but I'm glad that you have it because you saved us today and listen to me. It doesn't rule you kid you have free will that is what makes you human and you have strength deep down that surpasses that demon. You showed it at the end of the fight today. I'm proud of you and all of us are as well. You are on your way to becoming an Avenger and you will be a great one. So be confident and take the step forward and you will go far."
Tyler felt a little emotional and he quickly wiped his eyes.
Tony smiled. "It's ok kid I won't tell. But just out of curiosity how did you come by this thing?"
Tyler didn't answer at first for he had carried this burden for so long now. "It became attached to me when my father died because he had been originally cursed with it and the demon killed him. My mother is also dead it had been a car accident. I have my uncle who is my guardian."
Tony understood what it's like to lose those you care about. Hell, most of the kids who had come through his Avengers program had been orphans. "I'm sorry for your loss and I'm sure your uncle is proud of you and so am I kid like I said. Go get some rest alright and know that we are here for you kid. The Avengers are all here for you kids and will be after you leave here."
Tyler smiled for real this time. "Thank you, Tony." He got up and left the lab. He ran into Ravi who had been waiting for him.
"You alright?"
Tyler nodded. "I have something to share with you guys."
Ravi nodded. "How about we do a mini meeting tomorrow then?" Tyler agreed for right now he was exhausted. The boys headed back to their room to rest only to be awoken later by Steve while Natasha awoke the girls for food and movie night. It was a bonding tool that Tony had started years ago and it was the down time they needed after a long day.
