Chapter 9- Avengers Assemble!

Iron Man flew towards his tower at full speed.

"I have turned off the arc reactor", Jarvis told him, "This device is already self-sustaining."

As he reached the top, he said, "Shut it down, Dr. Selvig."

"It's too late. It can't stop now." Eric rambled like a delusional person, "It wants to show us something! A new universe."

"Okay." Tony fired a beam. A barrier protected the device and he was sent flying back while Selvig was knocked out.

"The barrier is pure energy." Jarvis informed him, "It's unbreachable."

"Yeah I get that." Tony agreed before looking down to see Loki staring at him, "Plan B."

"Sir, Mark VII is not ready for deployment." Jarvis informed him.

"Then skip the spinning rims. We've run out of clock." Tony said as he descended and got the armor removed from him.

As he and Loki marched towards each other into the tower, the latter said sarcastically, "Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity."

"Uh...actually, I'm planning to threaten." Stark said casually.

With a humorless chuckle, Loki said, "You should have left your armor on for that."

"Yeah, it's seen a bit of mileage." Tony joked as he walked down towards his little bar while pointing at Loki, "You've got the blue stick of destiny."

"You want a drink?" Stark then offered friendlily.

Loki laughed and said, "Stalling me won't change anything."

"No, no, no! Threatening." Stark quickly corrected him before getting himself a drink, "No drink? You sure? 'Cause I am having one."

Walking towards the window, Loki said, "The Chitauri are coming, nothing will change that." He turned back around, "What have I to fear?"

"The Avengers."

Loki looked at the billionaire in puzzlement as he unstoppered the bottle.

"It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team." Tony explained as he poured himself the drink, "Earth's Mightiest Heroes type of thing."

"Yes." Loki chuckled, "I've met them."

"Yeah." Tony chuckled, "Takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But, let's do a head count here." He pointed at Loki, "Your brother, the God of Thunder."

Loki cringed and looked away. During that time, Tony put one of his two bracelets on his wrist.

As Loki turned back, Tony sipped his drink and walking towards the former Asgardian, continued, "A super soldier, a living legend, who kind of lives up to the legend, a man with breath-taking anger management issues, a blind man who is not blind, a modern day Robin Hood, a young man with arachnid-like powers, a couple of master assassins, and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them."

"That was the plan." Loki smirked arrogantly.

"Not a great plan." Tony warned as he continued walking, "When they come, and they will, they'll come for you."

"I have an army."

"We have a Hulk."

"I thought the beast had wandered off." Loki said in confusion.

"You're missing the point." Tony told him, "There's no throne, there is no version of this, where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you."

And then the Iron Man declared, "Because if we can't protect the Earth, you can be damn well sure we'll avenge it."

He then took a sip of his drink as Loki marched towards him.

"How will your friends have time for me, when they're so busy fighting you?" He said as he raised his scepter and touched Stark's chest. Both of them were shocked when they heard a clang.

Loki tried again to get the same result.

"It should work!" he wondered aloud in shock.

"Well, performance issues." Tony mocked, "You know-"

He was cut off when Loki lifted him by the throat and threw him to the floor.

"Jarvis." Tony said as he got back up, "Anytime now."

Loki grabbed him by the throat again, "You will all fall before me."

"Deploy." Loki lifted him higher, "Deploy."

Loki threw him off. He crashed through his window and to the street below. As Loki watched his descent, he heard something and turning around, narrowly avoided the flying suit.

As Tony fell down, the suit flew after him and detecting his bracelet, put itself on him and just when he was near the ground, he was fully armored.

Activating his thrusters, he flew up and was face to face with Loki.

"And there's one other person you pissed off!"

As Loki raised the scepter to strike, Tony fired a repulsor, throwing him back, "His name is Phil."

That moment, a blue light shot up into the sky from the device. As Tony looked up, a portal opened in the sky. On the other side of it was space.

Out from it came dozens of flying vehicles. Flying them were reptilian-like creatures which looked like they were a mix between organic human tissue and machine.

The Chitauri!

"Right." Tony muttered in horror, "Army."

As he flew up, one of them fired at him but he dodged and destroyed the offender with a repulsor. He tried to fire again but one of the transports smacked him on the head, staggering him.

Spinning around to dodge, he fired mini-missiles from his shoulders, destroying more of them. But even Iron Man couldn't hold back an entire army of aliens all by himself.

Many of them flew past him and towards the streets. The people were standing still in horror and shock, jaws agape.

The Chitauri then started rapidly firing from their transports and the people ran off to protect themselves as their vehicles were destroyed.


Loki stood on top of the tower and looked down with a smirk while his armor and horned helmet appeared. It had begun!

"Loki."

Loki turned to see Thor who had just descended, fully dressed in his battle armor.

"Turn off the Tesseract or I'll destroy it!" He commanded.

"You can't. There is no stopping it." Loki declared as he pointed the scepter at Thor, "There is only the war!"

With a snarl, Thor declared, "So be it."

With a roar, Loki leapt on Thor who side-stepped to avoid. Thor struck with Mjolnir but Loki blocked with the scepter and swung at Thor who ducked to avoid.

Loki fired a blast which Thor deflected before both of them clashed their weapons. The resulting energy wave destroyed the "K" at the end of "STARK" on the building and sent it down.


On the ground below, police vans pulled up but even the cops were horrified at what they were witnessing.


The Quinjet flew towards New York.


"Stark, we're heading north east." Natasha informed him.

"What, did you stop for drive-through?" Tony asked sarcastically, "Swing that park, I'm gonna lay them out for you."

As the Chitauri flew after him, he flew past where Thor and Loki were battling, dodging some shots and making them hit each other.

The Quinjet arrived and Natasha brandished its gun, firing at some Chitauri and killing them.

"Sir, we have more incoming." Jarvis told Tony.

"Fine, let's keep them occupied." Tony simply said.


Thor swung at Loki who ducked to avoid before grabbing Thor and slamming him into some glass.


"Thor and Loki are down there." Matt informed Natasha and Clint.

"Nat." Clint said.

"I see him." She said.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Oliver smirked.

"Let's go all Arnold on his ass." Peter quipped.

Loki slammed Thor down again before the Quinjet fired on him but he fired a blast of his scepter and it hit a wing, damaging the vehicle.

Thor roared angrily on seeing that and started pummeling Loki.

The Quinjet was all haywire before it started going down. Steve, Matt, Oliver and Peter hung on the top to avoid losing balance as Natasha and Clint tried to safely crash it.

Suddenly, Matt said in alarm, "Three of them are about to fire at us."

Natasha tried to steer it away but nothing happened due to the damage.

The three Chitauri were about to fire. Suddenly, a flying blur destroyed them.

As the Quinjet was going down, it suddenly stopped in midair. Natasha and Clint looked at each other in confusion.

"Someone else is here." Matt said simply, "Not human."

The Quinjet then gently descended to the ground and was gently lowered by whoever had caught it.

Natasha and Clint then threw off their headsets and the backdoor opened from which they, Steve, Matt, Oliver and Peter walked out.

Who they saw made their jaws drop.

It was a tall man in a dark blue suit with a red cape flowing behind him and boots of the same color. An "S" was embedded on his chest. There was a smile on his face. One that radiated hope, warmth and kindness.

"Who are you?" Oliver asked as he recovered himself.

"I'm Superman." He declared.

"I thought you were just a myth." Peter said in disbelief and excitement, "This is so awesome."

"We were going to look into you after this was done." Natasha told him.

"I'm here to help." Superman said.

"Well then, son, come on." Steve said as they walked out into the open.

As they walked to the center of the city, what they saw horrified them.

A giant reptilian creature floated out of the portal and all the people were paralyzed in fear on seeing it. From it jumped Chitauri foot soldiers, crashing into buildings and killing people with their firearms.

"We need back up here." Steve said on comms, "Stark, are you seeing this?"

Stark said dryly, "I'm seeing, still working on believing."

He then asked, "Where's Banner? Has he shown up yet?"

"Banner?"

"Just keep me posted." Stark said.

"He hasn't." Matt said, "But someone else has."

"Who? Chuck Norris?" Stark asked sarcastically.

"No." Clint said, "Superman."

"The man. The myth. The legend." Stark declared with a smirk, "Sorry. Not a legend. But still a man and myth."

Flying after the reptilian creature which was called a Leviathan, he said, "Jarvis, find me a soft spot."


"Look at this. Look around you." Thor asked Loki angrily, trying to reason, "You think this madness will end with your rule?"

With a guilt-ridden face, Loki said, "It's too late. It's too late to stop it."

"No." Thor said, "We can, together."

Loki looked like he was going to break down but he suddenly smirked and stabbed Thor in the abdomen. Thor grunted and staggered back, dropping Mjolnir.

"Sentiment!"

Thor angrily kicked him through some glass and lifting him up, threw him down. Loki rolled away onto a Chitauri transport. Thor ripped out the knife.


"You got civilians trapped in the roof." Clint noted as some transports flew past them.

"Loki." Steve muttered as he noticed him on one of them, "They're fish in a barrel down there."

Turning to Superman, he asked, "Can you get them?"

"I will." Superman said before flying after the transports at a speed even Thor and Iron Man would be hard pressed to match.

Superman fired his heat vision, destroying some transports and just rammed into some of them.

Loki was shocked on seeing that, "Okay, what?"


Some Chitauri arrived in front of Steve, Matt, Oliver, Natasha, Clint and Peter and started firing.

Natasha returned fire while Oliver got one with his arrow. Peter fired a web and grabbing one, slammed him against a car.

"Take that, Stormtrooper."

Matt flipped and knocked one's gun out of his hands before flip kicking him into a car, knocking him out. As another arrived, he pointed his club at it and fired a projectile at its neck, knocking it out.

"We got this." Natasha said to Steve, "Go, go."

"You think you can hold them off?" Steve asked them.

"Captain", Clint said as he notched an arrow, "It would be my genuine pleasure."

He fired, getting one of them.

Steve then ran off, avoiding their shots.

Peter used his web to open up a sealed bus, helping the people get out.

Clint fired another arrow, getting another one.

"Oliver!" He called out, attracting his fellow archer's attention, "Two already."

"I'm on seventeen." Oliver said casually.

"Huh!" Clint said in shock, "I'll have no modern day Robin Hood outscoring me!"

Clint smacked an alien down with his bow before shooting him out.

Oliver fired at two of them in quick succession, getting them both.

"Nineteen!"

"Archers." Natasha rolled her eyes.

Spider-Man swung on his web and kicked two away before pulling one down from its transport and slamming it down.

"Just like Budapest all over again!" Natasha commented as she got another.

"You and I remember Budapest very differently." Clint said.

Matt barely dodged a smack from one of them before hitting its legs with his club, knocking it down and then hitting it another time, knocking it out.


Steve leapt in front of some cops on a car and started ordering, "I need men in these buildings. There are people inside that can run into the line of fire. You take them through the basement or through the subway, you keep them off the streets. I need a perimeter as far back as 39th."

"Why the hell should I take orders from you?" their leader asked.

That moment, some Chitauri destroyed a vehicles and caused a small blast, making the cops back off.

Steve blocked one and smacked it away with his shield before turning around and blocking another. He punched it away and turning around smacked one out before using his shield to cut off one's weapon and smacked it away.

The captain now knew why to take his orders and said on comms, "I need men in those buildings, lead the people down and away from the streets I wanna shut off the perimeter all the way down of 39 Street."


Iron Man fired mini missiles on the Leviathan and it turned to him.

"Well, we got its attention." He said as he flew off, "What the hell is step two?"


Clint threw a Chitauri down and jammed an arrow into it while Natasha snatched one's staff and in a rotatory motion, fired at two of them, sending them flying off.

Spider-Man rotated one in his webs and smashed him into others.

Matt flip kicked one out into a car and hit another on the neck with his projectile.

Oliver kicked one down in a rotatory motion before smacking it out and fired an arrow, getting another.

Steve arrived and smacked more of them away.

Lightning bolts descended from the sky and killed more Chitauri before Thor landed on the ground. Some more were hit by heat vision as Superman landed.

Thor's eyes widened in shock, "You're a Kryptonian."

"How do you know?" A shocked Superman asked.

"Talk about it later." Steve said to the two gods, "Thor, what's the story up top."

"The power surrounding the cube is impenetrable." Thor informed.

"Thor is right, we gotta deal with these guys." Iron Man said.

"Let's do it." Matt said.

"Come on." Oliver said.

"How do we do this?" Natasha asked.

"As a team." Steve said.

"I have unfinished business with Loki." Thor said.

"Yeah, get in line." Clint said.

"Brave man to threaten a god." Peter muttered.

"Save it." Steve said as he started ordering, "Loki's gonna keep this fight focused on us and that's what we need. Without him these things could run wild. We got Stark up top, he's gonna need us..."

He stopped on hearing a bike stopping behind them. They turned to see Banner getting off, a smirk on his face.

"So, this all seems horrible." He said.

"I've seen worse." Natasha said.

"Sorry."

"No, we could use a little worse." Natasha clarified.

"Yeah, that's what she meant." Peter said.

"Stark, we got him." Steve said on comms.

"Banner."

"Just like you said."

"Tell him to suit up." Stark said, "I'm bringing the party to you."

He then flew towards them, the Leviathan on his tail.

"I don't see how that's a party." Natasha said as Banner marched forwards.

"Dr. Banner." Steve said as he turned around, "Now might be a good time for you to get angry."

"That's my secret, Captain." Banner smirked, "I'm always angry."

As the Leviathan came closer, Bruce turned into Hulk and punched it hard, toppling it.

"Hold on." Tony said as he fired a missile while Superman fired heat vision in his aid.

The Leviathan exploded and the debris fell on them, though Steve protected Natasha and Clint with his shield while Thor and Superman protected Matt and Oliver respectively and Peter leapt back.

The Chitauri roared angrily.

Hulk roared back louder as Clint and Oliver notched arrows next to him and Superman stood still while his cape flowed behind him and Thor raised Mjolnir while Peter flipped and stood next to him as Matt divided his club into sticks and Natasha loaded her guns. Steve stood with his shield as Tony descended next to him. The Avengers had assembled in a circle.


Loki saw the spectacle below and commanded, "Send the rest."


Finally, done!

Hope you enjoyed. Superman is here. Imagine Tom Welling. He is not any particular version though.

And he is still a beginner here, learning to use his powers so he isn't very OP and he won't steal any other character's moments. Like he said, he is here to help.

Next chapter will have more surprises.

Unfortunately, I have exams and a train journey after that so no updates for a week.

Please review. I always appreciate your feedback.
