CHAPTER TEN
Bobbi was exhausted. She Natasha and Steve had been on the ground fighting for hours. Bobbi wasn't even a special agent, she was a scientist, she shouldn't be in the field. She wanted to pass out, but every time she was ready to stop, and let the aliens take her, she looked around to see the panic in everyone's eyes. She saw a child, clinging to their mother's or father's arms. She couldn't let these kids down; they shouldn't have to go through what she went through. They need their parents. They need HER to keep fighting for them.
Then, she saw her window of opportunity. "Rogers! Can you get me onto one of those?" she pointed up to a ship as she stabbed another alien with the gun she stole from a different one. As she shot the last one she saw him nod.
"You ready for this?" Steve asked.
"Yeah, it'll be fun," Bobbi looked nervous. But she ran, jumped off the overturned cab, then leaped off Steve's shield, grabbing the edge of a passing alien ship. As she climbed aboard she saw Natasha yelling at Steve for letting her do something so stupid. Aw, young love, Bobbi smiled, as she swung her leg onto the ship.
After she successfully killed the pilot of the ship, she steered the ship towards Stark's tower. She jumped off and rolled onto the roof, whipping her head up in time to see Selvig. He came at her, with a puny little knife, and she side stepped, remembering Natasha said a nice head banging would snap them out of it, she turned on him, grabbing his face with both hands. Face collided with knee and Selvig was on the floor, looking up at her seconds later, eyes normal, a grateful look on his face.
Bobbi saw Loki's staff, she ran for it, before Loki noticed and could use it again. "Anyway to turn this off?" she looked back at her friend, desperate.
"I actually put in a fail safe..." Once he explained how to disable it, she let out a mass news flash. "Guys, I can shut it off!"
"Do it, Morse," Steve replied, as she was putting the staff in place, Tony's voice came to life. "Wait, don't, not yet."
Then Bobbi saw him take a missile and guide it through the wormhole. Everyone shouted at her, she needed to close it, now. No, she thought to herself, come on Stark. But a soon as all the aliens fell she knew she couldn't keep it open any longer. As she closed it, she looked up, to see Tony just barely make it through.
Bobbi smiled, and then wondered to herself; how she would get down to congratulate the billionaire.
