I have been through hell week of finals, and all those with finals yourselves good luck on them! I attempted to make this less confusing by throwing in line breaks to give you a sense of when a different fight was being fought.
Remember that Amora has similar powers to Loki and there can be more than one of her. I know I didn't put as much Darcy in it as everyone else, sorry about that. I'll try and bring her back later. Hopefully this isn't complete shyte. And don't worry, you'll like the next chapters if you're tired of the fighting by now.
Also, I honestly couldn't figure out what to name this chapter, forgive me.
Read, review, enjoy!
"Clint, what's happening up there?" Cap called through the headset.
"Got it, Cap." Clint replied calmly.
A single arrow was shot out from the rooftop; it was a sure shot straight to Amora's heart where she stood surrounded by ice. The woman simply raised a single hand to the arrow and it dropped mere feet from her.
"I ain't got it, Cap." Clint dryly added.
"Jane…Jane are you okay? What happened?" Darcy asked having crawled over to her, she was coming in and out of focus in Jane's sight.
"I'm…okay." Jane got out softly moving to sit up.
"Keep her down." Clint snapped, Darcy looked over to him and then back down at Jane, sitting down so her legs were crossed under her beside the other girl laying on the rooftop.
"Bird-boy says you gotta stay down." Darcy told her.
"But Thor…" Jane breathed out.
"They got him, you keep down." Darcy said simply.
"Tony, you and me will take Amora; your suit should protect you from her. Natasha you and Bruce take Thor and Axe Man. Clint you're not going to be much use against Amora, focus on the other two until we get Amora compromised." Steve told the group, he received mostly head nods and a 'got it' over the headset from Clint before he and Tony turned heading towards Amora who was waiting patiently. She allowed them merely a few feet closer before raising her hands, green light shooting from them. Tony stood solid as Steve raised his shield. After a moment both looked to one another, "You good?" Steve asked.
"Kinda tickled but I'm okay." Tony replied simply.
Amora let out a growl of a cry her hand reaching out towards Tony. Vines shot out towards him, wrapping around his leg and yanking him towards her. Tony rolled over onto his back, blasters shooting out at the vines as Steve chased after him.
Natasha looked back Bruce taking a deep breath, "You ready?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"Better sooner than later." Bruce said simply taking his glasses off. He pulled his large puffy coat off and began undressing down to a pair of purple spandex shorts he had been wearing under his pants. Natasha had been watching the fight between Tony, Steve and Amora when she glanced back and saw the shorts giving Bruce a look.
"Tony made em." He sighed, rolling his eyes, sitting his clothes to the side, "They…stretch, to fit him. Least they're supposed to, they're a prototype," He explained with a shrug.
"Right…well…see you in a bit." Natasha said with a nod and then turned heading towards Thor and Skurge. There was a pause before a loud roar shook the area around them; Bruce completely transformed into the Hulk took off bounding towards the two Asgardians, over taking Natasha quickly. Least the purple shorts had held up.
Finally, a blaster shot through the vines and Tony rolled out of it shooting up into the sky for a moment to drop down behind Amora. Steve ran up, but kept his distance from her, the woman looking down at him with a cackling smirk of a smile.
"Amora." Steve said sternly.
"Yes, midgardian?" Amora asked looking more amused than anything, she glanced over her shoulder and sighed, motioning Tony away causing him to be lifted and flung a few feet away. She turned to look back at Steve, still waiting.
"You have no right to be here, Amora, and any problem you have with Thor can be handled differently than this." Steve said simply.
"I have no issue with my beloved, we simply want to leave this disgusting, vile, realm in peace and if you would simply let us go this can all be over with." Amora replied in a seemingly too sweet of a tone. Tony flew up and landed in front of her, arching his arm back to throw a punch. The woman held her hand up, a seemingly invisible shield being thrown between them before he was shot back again.
"You can't have Thor against his will." Steve said simply.
"I'm sure if you asked him right now he'd be more than willing to leave." Amora told him with a playful smile. Tony stomped up behind Steve moving to make his way back to Amora, Steve reached out, grabbing his arm before he could pass him completely.
"Save it, Tony." Steve said simply.
"Have you seen the light soldier?" Amora asked curiously.
The Hulk reached Skurge first, raising his fist at him the Asgardian swung his axe, striking the Hulk's upper arm causing him to cry out. He reached down, grabbing the axe from the man and flung it, the blade sticking in the ice some hundred feet away. The Hulk reached out, picking the man up from his legs and threw him after the axe. Natasha reached the scene, jumping to the Hulk's back before jumping down, wrapping her legs around Thor's shoulders and using the momentum to fling them both to the ground. The Hulk grunted and then took off after Skurge. Thor rolled over, reaching out to grab Natasha's leg and pull her towards him. She kicked her leg up, catching his jaw as he let go of her. She moved to get over top of him but it didn't last for long. He might have been under an enchantment but he still had his strength.
Skurge rose to his feet as the Hulk raced towards him. He gripped the handle of his axe and yanked it up. He found his stance preparing for the beast to crash into him. Another grunt issued from The Hulk as he jumped up and then just as suddenly he came crashing down, his fist hitting the ice mere feet from Skurge who looked down at his fist chuckling, "You missed." He told The Hulk who gave the Asgardian a wide tooth grin.
"No." The Hulk said simply as the faint noise of crackling grew louder; the ice around the slice where the axe had been wedge began to crack and spread out among the ice. The ice sheet shook as the crack grew wider, Skurge moved backwards away from it but tripped over another large crack that had sprung up some feet behind him.
"Guys, Hulk made a mess." Clint spoke through the headsets.
"We felt it." Tony groaned, shooting another blaster at Amora who easily blocked it.
Jane had finally sat up, Darcy unable to keep her laying down much longer. She made her way over to the edge, looking down at the scene at the three fights going on among the ice. The cracks started by the Hulk towards the back right of the panel were starting to get closer to Tony, Steve and Amora. She looked back at Darcy before standing up.
'Where you going?" Clint snapped at her.
"I'm going down." Jane said simply.
"No, you get back here." Clint shouted after her.
"Jane, come back!" Darcy called standing up.
"Hey, not you too! Guys, I can't baby sit I got an uprising going on up here." Clint called into the headset.
"You had one job, Merida!" Tony shouted back.
"Jane, it's like a freakin war zone down there you can't go." Darcy reasoned following her to the edge as Jane climbed over to the escape ladder.
"She doesn't want me down there, she doesn't want me at all and there has to be a reason." Jane reasoned.
"Yeah, cause she's a crazy ex-girlfriend and they always hate the current girlfriend, duh." Darcy said simply.
"It has to be more than that." Jane said simply as she started down the ladder.
"Jane, this is stupid! You are acting stupid!" Darcy shouted down at her.
"I know!" Jane shouted back.
"You got one more scientist headed your way." Clint's voice rang through the headsets as Jane's feet landed on the snow covered ground. She ran down the alley and turned towards the snow bank when she stopped in her tracks. Amora had appeared in the middle of the street in front of her. Her long sweeping emerald green cape looked completely out of place in the down town city scape.
"You foolish mortal," Amora said simply as she walked towards her. Jane slid to a stop almost falling. She looked around the street and then began walking backwards. She could feel movement, people were starting to get up, a shop keeper or something, there was a fire place billowing smoke from one of the nearby buildings.
"You are not worthy of Thor Odinson, how could you even begin to fathom that you could possibly help." Amora spoke slowly, her green eyes locking in on Jane's. "You are nothing but a silly mortal who had no right to think herself equal to such a god as he." She hissed, raising a hand. The snow behind Jane rose causing her to trip and fall to her back. Amora raised her other hand, vines lashing out to wrap around Jane's ankle and pull her towards her. Jane rolled over onto her stomach, reaching out to try and grab something to stop herself. Her hands dragged through the snow, the concrete below scrapping her hands and knees.
Snow burned her face and before she could reach up to grab the leg of a trashcan on the side walk she was yanked harder and grabbed by the back of her coat. She was met eyes to eyes with Amora who glared down at her. "You will listen to me." Amora hissed at her, raising an hand. Jane braced herself for the strike that never came. Amora's grip loosened, dropping Jane to the ground. She let out a blood-curdling scream before she disappeared.
An arrow as lodged in her shoulder. As soon as she let out the cry Tony shot a blaster at her, hitting her in the gut and sending her flying back into the snow. The Hulk screamed out again, pounding his fist on the ground; Skurge had given him a few more slashes from his Axe. Thor had chased Natasha to the Stark jet on the bank and was now attempting to climb the wing up to her.
The Hulk had had enough of the tiny man with the axe, he grabbed him and flung him against the ice bank, breaking the ice in a weak spot and sending the man down to the water below. Red light shot from Amora's hand, Steve raised his shield against it, blocking himself. "Ma`am I won't hit a broad but you're fixing to change that." Steve snapped at her.
"Kill it with the gent trick and help me." Tony told Steve, blasting Amora with another hit, sending her back to land on the ice that cracked beneath her.
Natasha jumped down from the wing, landing on Thor's back and banging his head against the side of the StarkJet and then jumped off as he fell into the snow. A groan issued from him as he rolled over onto his back and looked at up at her. The Hulk was bounding back towards the jet, but stopped as Tony was flung past him. He let out a loud cry in Tony's direction, Tony waving at him to let him know he was okay before flying back past him in the other direction towards Amora, The Hulk following along behind him.
Jane finally made her way to the snow bank, knees skinned and hands rubbed raw. "Jane's in the area." Clint spoke through the headset. Natasha looked up and over to her, Jane catching her gaze and starting towards them at a faster pace.
"Jane, no." Natasha said sternly jumping up and running towards her. The assassin met her before she could get to the Starkjet, arms wrapping around her waist to pull her back. "Jane, you can't."
"Just let me talk to him."
"He's not himself. That is not Thor." Natasha said sternly.
"I know! Just let me." Jane insisted, fighting a losing battle against her.
Thor was slowly moving to sit up, shaking his head as he looked around, obviously looking for where Natasha had ran to. The assassin sighed and let go of Jane only because her intentions were to run back to Thor who was moving into a stance to prepare for another fight. "Sorry about this big guy." Natasha said softly.
'Nat, what are you doing?" Clint snapped through the headset noticing where her hands were going.
"What's going on?" Steve asked through the headset, slightly out of breath.
"Natasha, put the gun down!" Clint shouted
"Who's got a gun?" Tony asked.
A single shot rang out through the area. It was met by a clanking noise of Thor hitting the Starkjet and then silence for only a moment before Amora screamed again. The snow on top of the ice rose up and piled from all sides onto the Hulk. Another crack appeared under Steve and Tony's feet; Tony rose up and grabbed the back of Steve's suit to pull him up and drop him a few feet away before he flew at the Witch.
Jane stared in silence for a moment before running again, this time passing Natasha who stood stoic with the gun in her hand. Thor was sitting up against the Starkjet, red staining his shirt at his shoulder. His head was bleeding from the strikes to the jet behind him. He looked as if he couldn't see straight, but was still attempting to move to get up. Jane skidded in front of him, moving to sit down on her already wounded knees.
"Thor." She said sternly, catching his attention as his clouded over blue eyes met hers. "Thor I know you're in there." Jane said moving her hand up to his cheek, he reached up pushing it away.
"Be gone from me." Thor growled. "I do not wish to harm you again."
Jane's eyes went wide for a moment before touching his face again, "Thor…tell me what to do." Jane said simply. Thor pushed her hand away again.
"There is nothing to be done. Amora is a powerful enchantress, I fear I was foolish and weak and she proved more powerful." Thor explained looking up to meet Jane's eyes once more. "She's been weakened, her hold on me is not as tight, but she can demand of me anything at a moment's notice and I do not wish for you to be around me when that time comes."
"There has to be a way to help you." Jane said taking a deep breath, speaking through gritted teeth.
"I fear there is none." Thor replied taking a deep breath, his eyes closing.
Jane bit her lip, having not even heard Natasha walking up behind them. She was speaking in a hushed tone into the headset as the fight continued on the ice bank. She was obviously standing guard incase Thor attempted something else. Jane kept her eyes on the Asgardian who was attempting to catch his breath while Amora was distracted and no longer feeding him orders. Jane watched him for a moment before moving her hand to his cheek for a third time, this time leaning down to press her lips to his.
In that moment a series of events occurred seemingly at the same time. Skurge emerged from the ice, rushing to the aid of Amora who crumbled to her knees letting out another scream and from the distance Mjolnir flew through the air, slamming into Skurge before he could reach Steve with his axe. The hammer flew back, landing in the snow next to Thor. Jane had stood up by then looking down at him as she stepped back, Natasha grabbing her arm to pull her back quicker.
Thor opened his eyes taking a deep breath as he looked up at the two women before standing up seemingly unharmed any longer. "Thank you, Jane Foster." He told her with a nod and then continued to walk towards the battle that was still going on. As he walked from his hammer his armor began to cover his body, his cape flowing down from his back as he tossed Mjolnir from one hand to another.
"Did I just…sleeping beauty him?" Jane asked Natasha, unsure still herself.
"I think so, yeah." Natasha said with a nod. "Stay here this time." She said and then took off running towards the fight.
"What the hell is going on down there?" Clint asked over the headsets.
"Amora!' Thor shouted, Tony stopped his blasters, Steve looked up from behind his shield. Amora stood staring him down, Skurge behind her glaring to the other Asgardian.
"You will leave this realm!" Thor shouted at her, "Your quarrels are not with these people, they are with me."
"Yes, and they were almost reconciled." Amora spoke simply.
"They were not." Thor said in a lower tone. "You will return from the realm from which you came." Thor glared at her.
"Once I have that which is rightfully mine." Amora replied.
'I am not your property!" Thor shouted at her.
"The throne of Asgard is rightfully mine and I will take it as I see fit just as you have always taken that which you believed yours." Amora shouted in return.
"You will leave!" Thor shouted at her, the wind picking up, a lightning strike hitting somewhere in the distance.
"Your intimidation will not work with me, Odinson." Amora said calmly.
"Then intimidation no more," Thor replied holding Mjolnir up, lightning striking the hammer before he shot it at Amora. Skurge rushed the other Asgardian as Amora flew backwards. Thor made contact with the Asgardian, striking the man in the gut and sending him back. "I have tried reason, Amora!' Thor shouted as he walked towards her, Steve and Tony moving to take care of Skurge.
"I will have that which is mine!" Amora shouted sending a streak of red light at Thor who ducked out of its way, returning to his feet quickly.
"You will return home!" Thor shouted at her, his scream matched by the Hulks who had jumped to land behind Amora.
"You foul beast!" Amora shouted back at the Hulk.
"I would advise against that." Thor said simply.
Amora glanced back at Thor, but at the wrong moment. The Hulk reached down, picking her up and throwing her to the area of ice broken up. She landed in the ice water with a shriek. The Hulk lunged to Thor who backed up quickly and held up a finger. "No! Banner." He said sternly. "Not again." He said straightening up. The Hulk looked down at him for a moment before swiping him to push him to the ground to the side.
Thor was moving to his feet as Amora pulled herself out of the ice water. "Skurge!" She shouted the man having been knocked to his feet by Tony stood and made his way to Amora. "I will be back, I will return, I will get that which is mine." Amora hissed at Thor, there was a pause as an arrow broke through the air, landing at Amora's feet. There was a beep and then an explosion as the ice broke beneath her sending her into the ground again.
"Sorry, was I supposed to let her finish?" Clint asked over the headsets. There was a pause and then a blinding light shot up into the sky, water flowing up over the ice flooding it. It held the attention of the group until the Hulk let out a loud gruff.
"What's wrong, lassie?" Tony asked, his helmet collapsing back as he looked over; Thor had fallen back into the snow.
Bright light streamed through across the Asgardian's eyes. He groaned, covering his face with his for arm as he rolled over. The unfamiliar sensation of bedding under him cause him to open his eyes and lower his arm. He did not recognize the room he was in. He looked around to the wide window to his right and saw the cityscape of an unfamiliar place. It was snowing, a fireplace in the room had been turned on to compensate. Thor pulled the blankets covering him off, he had been dressed in a pair of red pajama bottoms like those had worn with Jane. He ran a hand through his hair as he moved to stand up, his body sore.
He groaned, stretching his back as he walked to the door and opened it. There was a wide open room in front of him. A sitting area with another fireplace blended into a kitchen area with a table area passed it as the room curved into a corner. Just as in the bedroom the entire right wall was a window. Thor looked around before making his way into the room, stepping down the three steps into the sitting area. He looked around, the t.v. was on but the sound was off, it was left on a news channel that was telling a story on masked figure that caught Thor's attention before another familiar voice from behind him did.
"Thor?"
