Banner, who was now 'the hulk' punched it in what I could only assume was the huge creature's nose, and it started to come to a halt. Its tail then writhed up, and everyone flinched.
"Hold on!" Stark said and he appeared and started shooting at it, and everyone started to duck. Steve quickly looked at me and noticed I hadn't moved yet, and grabbed me and pushed me to the ground behind him and his shield.
"Thanks." I mumbled as we got back up, and Stark came back down. We were suddenly in a circle formation, with everyone's back to each other, Steve on one side of me and Tasha on the other.
I looked at her and glared as I cocked my own Chitauri gun while saying, "I thought you were out of bullets Tasha."
She laughed and replied, "Yeah out of bullets I could give you." She paused and looked up before adding, "Guys." I followed her gaze to see a fleet of Chitauri coming from the portal.
"Call it Captain." Stark said from beside Captain and hulk.
"Alright, listen up. Until we can close that portal up there, we're gonna use containment. Barton, I want you on that roof, eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays. Stark, you got the perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back or your turn it to ash." Steve said, and I realized how much the name Captain suited him. He was certainly good at sending out a good strategy plan.
"Wanna give me a lift?" Clint asked as he looked over to stark.
"Right, better clench up Legolas." Stark said as he quickly flew over to behind Clint, and grabbed him. Both of them flew up into the air and out of sight.
"Thor, you've gotta try and bottleneck that portal, slow them down. You've got the lightning, light the bastards up." Steve continued, and Thor nodded before winding up his Hammer and flying away.
"As for us, we stay here on the ground, keep the fighting here. And Hulk, smash!" Steve said looking at Tasha and I before commanding Hulk. Hulk was very happy with his job and literally jumped hundreds of feet off of the ground to start smashing.
I heard Stark and Clint talking through the ear piece but ignored it as my aim using the Chitauri weapon wasn't nearly as good as it was with a normal gun.
"Can we please trade, Tasha." I asked as it took me three shots to gun a Chitauri down.
I heard her laugh from beside me before saying, "No way."
I stopped paying attention to her and minutes later a Chituari attacked me. I realized she must have went shooting off somewhere. I was running out of ideas and air as he strangled me. Quickly I stabbed him the chest with the gun, then pushed him from off of me and stood up as Steve came bounding up to me.
I didn't even bother to grab the gun back, I knew I was no good with it anyways.
"Captian, we seriously got to close that portal. I am running out of both patience and weapons I can actually use." I told him as I brushed the dirt off of me.
"Our biggest guns couldn't touch it." He said to me, looking up at it.
"Maybe it isn't a gun sort of portal." I said while looking at him.
"Excuse me? Look, If you wanna get up there, you are going to need a ride." He said, completely confused as to what I said but deciding to ignore it.
"Don't worry Steve. I'm great at picking up rides. I might need a jump start though." I said while smirking at him. I slowly backed away from him.
"Are you sure about this?" He asked as he backed away to the other side of the road.
"I've had one hell of a day Steve." I said shrugging. He nodded and readied his shield. I ran and leaped on a car to get at the right height and momentum before jumping on the shield. I went through the air right as a Hover thing came by, and I grabbed the back edge of it.
I slowly tried picking myself up on it, and realized it shouldn't be as easy as if was for me. I guess Loki was right about something. Once I got up I quickly over threw both Chitauri and then was right up to the controls. I quickly questioned how I went to giving up on their gun to deciding to try to fly a hover thing.
"Turn this way, Turn this way!" I screamed as I tried turning, nearly hitting a building in the process. I looked behind me to see I was being pursued and was about to go into total flip out mode, but luckily enough for me Stark came and wiped them out. "There is a first time for everything." I said, realizing that was the first time I was actually thankful to have Stark around.
I continued to fly around, occasionally pressing a random button and hitting something. It started slowly dawning on me that I had no clue why I was up here. Was I that desperate to get killed? I was sad for Coulson and both mad for and at Loki, but why would that even compute in my brain that I should jump onto a bloody Hover thing that seems damn near impossible to fly?
"Sigyn!" I heard someone yell from behind me, and I was jolted out of my thoughts when a ray of blue nearly missed me. I looked behind me to see Loki behind me.
"Going from kissing to killing, Loki? That's a little rude don't you think?" I yelled back at him, and quickly turned to avoid a building.
"Well Sigyn. You are one hard lady to get attention from. Listen-" Loki started, I looked behind me and noticed Clint sending an arrow his way. I stopped breathing for a second until he caught it. I then circled around Stark tower to see he had fallen off his hover thing, and that Clint had probably sent one of those impressive explosive arrows his way. I jumped off my hover too, quickly regretting it as I fell down to stark tower. It took me a moment to finally get up after my painful fall. When I did I looked and wondered where Loki had gone. I shook that thought from my mind when I noticed I had fallen near where the tesseract was.
I looked around it and noticed Dr. Selvig, and ran to him "Doctor." I said as I knelled beside him.
"Loki's scepter, the energy...The Tesseract can't fight. You can't protect against yourself. " He said, and I looked at him confused.
"You didn't know what you were doing-" I started, but he cut me off.
"Well actually, I think I did. I built in a safety to cut the power source. Loki's scepter, it might be able to close the portal." He said as he looked down at a terrace bellow us. I looked down and noticed Loki's scepter was what he was looking at.
I jumped down to the terrace bellow us, yet again not thinking about the consequences or using the stairs. Ignoring the pain in my leg I grabbed the scepter and ran around, quickly finding the stairs and bounding up them. I joined Dr. Selvig who had opened his computer and was ready to help me.
Right when I got up to the tesseract I realized there was a sort of force field around it, and started poking the force field with the scepter. "Guys, I can close it! You guys hear me?" I said excitedly, continuing to slowly push the scepter into the force field.
"Do it!" I heard Steve say, only to be cut off by Stark.
"No wait, I've got a nuke coming in, and its gonna blow in less that a minute. And I know just where to put it."
I groaned and said "Does that mean I should not close it? Guys, I'm getting mixed signals."
"Stark, you know that's a one way trip." Steve said, totally ignoring me.
"So should I close the portal with you and the nuke up there?" I asked, only to receive dead silence. I groaned yet again. "I'm going to take silence as a yes." I said, and watched as Stark and the nuke came flying up near where I was, and continued going up to the portal. Right when I couldn't see him I couldn't help but hesitate, was I really to just shut him out to die?
"Close it." Steve said, and trying my hardest to ignore my feelings of sorrow, I stabbed the tesseract with the scepter. A giant blue stream a light shot up all the way to the portal, and I stared, completely amazed.
I noticed a small man falling from where the portal was and I keeled over laughing, knowing it must have been Stark. I laid there on his Terrace laughing, and didn't realize I was crying until Dr. Selvig asked if I was alright.
Once I had finally stopping laughing and crying, I heard Stark say, "Alright. Hey. Alright. Good job, guys. Let's just not come in tomorrow. Let's just take a day. Have you ever tried shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I wanna try it. " Which only made me laugh more. There was a silence before I then heard Stark say, "And then Sharwarma after."
