Chapter 9
"Also, he may be stronger... but I've taken on the Hulk." I said, giggling to myself and Steve chuckled along. Barton and Natasha came out and we walked to a jet. As we came in, the engineer said "hey! You're not authorised to be-"
"Son- just don't." Steve replied
We flew to New York in the jet.
"Stark we are heading north east." Natasha said.
"What did you stop for drive through?" He said sarcastically
"Yeah I got hungry- we got a Burger King." I replied
"Sarcastic, cute." Tony replied
We all went to get out of the Quinjet when Steve stopped me. "Stay here until the fight is over." He commanded
"What?!" I protested "there is no way I'm-"
"Loki has a thing for you. I don't want you to be in danger." He interrupted
"I'd hate to break it to you but women have rights now. And I'm gonna go in whatever danger there is- Earth is my home too, because I'm one of the idiots that live here and to be perfectly honest what I do is none of your business. And I DON'T know why you care so much!" I retorted. I saw hurt flash across his face as I sighed and stalked out the jet.
I started fighting with Nat and Clint, pushing away all the Chitari. "It's just like Budapest all over again!" Nat said
"You and I remember Budapest VERY differently." Clint said
"First of all I wasn't there." I said
"Oh yeah- it would have been more fun if you were there" Nat said
"Mmm hmm" Clint agreed.
I felt a pair of arms around me from behind, so I head butted the blue alien and threw him in front of me, the stamping on its neck to break it. I had about 15 circling around me and I pushed them away with my energy but I didn't seem to help, because they were replaced by 15 more. Steve jumped in the circle and helped me take them all down but they just kept coming - until a lightning bolt struck all them all from above. I looked up in confusion and saw Thor. He landed next to me and I threw my arms around him. He hugged me back. "I'm so sorry I couldn't hold you up." I apologised
"It's okay lady Sophie, you tried your best. You passed out with all the power you generated- you pushed Loki through a wall!" He exclaimed
"What's the story upstairs" Steve asked
"The powers surrounding the cube are impenetrable" Thor said
"How do we do this?" Nat asked
"As a team." I said, looking at Steve
"As a team," he said and smiled at me.
