A/N: Okay, so this will be the last chapter for a week. :) I hope you guys are enjoying it.

"Loki!" I heard Thor yell, as the aliens started coming out in droves.

"Turn off the Tesseract or I'll destroy it." Thor growled.

"You can't. There is no stopping it. There is only, the war." Loki said as I stepped back from the fight about to go down.

"So be it," Thor said before Loki jumped to attack.

I watched them fight, unsure of what to do besides throw a couple of my knives at passing Chitauri, sad that I'd never retrieve them. I watched as a massive creature emerged making my eyes go wide.

"Dad," I said into my comm, surprised it was still there.

"I see it Sera, trying to figure something out." He replied as saw Loki and Thor talking through their fight. Loki stabbed Thor with the knife I had thrown at his head, which enraged Thor. Taking Loki, he threw him to the ground so hard that the walkway cracked. Loki simply rolled off the side, catching a ride on one of the Chitauri's small ships. I noticed he left the scepter, but I chose to leave it.

"Mind giving me a lift down?" I said, to which he nodded. Pulling me to his side, he swung the hammer and it sent us barreling down to the ground. The landing was rough but Thor managed to zap a couple of the soldiers before we did.

"Thor, what's the story upstairs?" Steve said, as he checked me over for injuries.

"I'm fine," I said quietly. He gave a short nod before turning back into the Captain he was.

"The power surrounding the cube is impenetrable."

"Thor's right, we've got to deal with these guys."

"How do we do this?" Natasha asked, hugging me. Clint nodded at me, a large smile on his face.

"As a team," Steve said, before Thor added, "I have unfinished business with Loki."

"Oh yeah? Get in line," Clint said, fiddling with his bow.

"Save it! Loki's gonna keep this fight focused on us and that's what we need. Without him, these things could run wild," Steve, said, in an authorative tone.

"We've got Stark up top. He's gonna need us to-" Steve stopped at the sound of a motorcycle approaching. I smiled as I recognized Bruce, a lot less green.

"Well this all seems, horrible." He said, approaching the group.

"I've seen worse," Natasha said.

"Sorry," He said sheepishly.

"No, we could use a little worse." She said smirking.

"Stark, we got him."

"Banner?"

"Just like you said."

"Tell him to suit up, I'm bringing the party to you." Dad said, before he rounded a building about 9 blocks away.

"I don't see how that's a party," Natasha said, not quite getting my father's joke.

"Dr. Banner, now would be a really good time for you to get angry," Steve said, looking worried as Bruce approached the oncoming threat.

"That's my secret Cap," Banner said with a hint of a smirk. "I'm always angry."

With that, Banner's body grew into the Hulk's, his clothes ripping, skin turning green and muscles thickening. He reached full form as the slug reached him, where the Hulk smashed into it, the body building up and with the help of my Dad, exploding.

Steve used his shield to cover himself and Natasha as I ducked behind a car and Thor protected his eyes from the light, but watching as the dust settled. Hulk roared loudly, ready for battle. The group circled together, Tony landing next to me and saying, "You better stay safe, or you're grounded."

"Dad, I'm 23 years old," I laughed.

"Guys," Natasha said, drawing their attention to the incoming Chitauri members from the portal.

"Call it Captain," Tony instructed.

"Alright, listen up!" Steve began, falling into the leader role so easily. "Until we can close that portal, our priority is containment. Barton, I want you on that roof. Eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays. Stark; you got the perimeter. Anything get more than three blocks out, you turn it back or you turn it to ash."

"Give me a lift?" Clint asked.

"Better clench up, Legolas," Dad joked before the two soared into the sky.

Legolas, why didn't I think of that? I thought as Steve gave Thor his orders, the demi-god using his hammer to fly into the air.

"Us," Steve said drawing mine and Natasha's attention. "The three of us stay here on the ground. We keep the fighting here, and people off the perimeter. And Hulk," The green monster turned around at Steve's words, looking at him expectantly. "Smash."

The smile they received before he jumped high into the air was both terrifying and adorable, his happiness to get permission to smash overwhelming. I let out a deep breath before running forward, jumping on a car and onto the back of one of the aliens, stabbing it with my knife. Throwing their own weapons at them was the most fun I'd had in awhile.

"Why is it always New York?" I said to myself, moving back to help Steve and Natasha.

"I can close it," Natasha said as myself, Steve and Thor stood, surveying the area. "Can anyone copy? I can shut the portal down."

"Do it!" Steve responded quickly.

"No, wait." Was my Dad's reply.

"Dad, look around!" I called out. "They keep coming."

"I got a nuke coming in." Tony explained. "It's gonna blow in less than a minute. And I know just where to put it."

"He wouldn't…" I said quietly, not wanting to believe it.

"Stark," Steve said, looking at me sadly, "You know that's a one-way trip."

"Dad," I yelled, "NO!"

"Sera, I need to do this, for you. I love you," Dad responded no waver in his voice.

"I love you too Daddy," I cried, as he disappeared through the portal. I hadn't even told him that I liked him as a father, but I knew it needed to be said soon enough. Crying in public seemed so humiliating, but I didn't care. I was alone again.

I could see the explosion in the other universe and all the Chitauri around us stopped and fell to the ground, their power source gone. The group was looking up, waiting, hoping, none of them wanting to be the one to make the call, but knowing that the portal had to be closed before the after effects of the explosion travelled back.

Steve wrapped an arm around my body, as I clutched onto him tightly, as we waited a couple more seconds. "Close it," Steve finally said. I couldn't watch it close, turning to cry into Steve's chest. I kept crying until Steve gasped, making me look up in hope.

"Son of a gun," Steve said, watching as Tony's body fell fast. I smiled in relief, wiping my tears away.

"He's not slowing down," Thor spoke, starting to swing his hammer to catch him when the Hulk jumped from nowhere and caught Tony before he hit the ground. The three of them quickly ran to where the Hulk and Tony were laying on the ground. They all gathered around him, kneeling to assess his condition.

"Is he breathing?" Steve asked.

"Daddy?" I asked quietly.

Thor pulled off the lid of the helmet, showing Dad's dark features, eyes closed peacefully. Steve leaned down to listen to him breathe, only sitting back up and placing a comforting hand on my back.

"Daddy," I said quietly, letting my tears continue to fall, "Daddy, please don't leave me."

A loud roar from the Hulk made me jump, but also brought my father back to the land of the living.

"What the hell?" He demanded, his eyes wide. "What just happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me."

"Dad!" I said, crying happily. He lifted an arm to gently pat my arm.

"We won," Steve told him, a small pant in his tone.

Dad let out a relieved right, eyes closing in relaxation. "Alright, yay! Hurray. Good job, guys. Let's just not come in tomorrow. Let's just take a day. Have you ever tried Shawarma?" He asked looking at the Hulk. "There's a Shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I want to try it."

"We're not done yet," Steve reminded him.

"Then Shawarma after?" Dad asked, making me laugh.


A/N: And I leave it here for this week. Hope you liked it!
