Raven threw a couple of her needle like knives into some Chitauri soldiers that dropped right after. There's no end to them. We need to get that portal closed somehow soon. She looked over at Nigel who was breaking an enemy's neck. "You alright?" Raven asked her twin smiling.

"Never better," Nigel grinned. "You?"

"Great. Think you can handle things down here?"

"Yeah why?"

"I'm heading to the roofs then," Raven replied pointing up. "Try to stop them before they reach the streets."

Nigel smiled, "Good idea. As long as you leave some for me."

"I'll do my best," Raven said. She waved and ran up the fire escape onto the roof. She saw several Chitauri land on her and she smirked, "So who's first?" She ran at the Chitauri knives flashing. Soon the roof was cleared of standing Chitauri. Raven jumped over to the next roof and when she landed she knocked some of them down to Nigel on the street. "Incoming Nigel."

"Thanks Rae." Nigel's voice came to her over the comm.

"No problem," Raven replied throwing some of her knives before whippy a couple others out and attacking the Chitauri that were shooting at her. She hissed in pain as one of the Chitauri sliced her left arm. Raven snarled, spun on her right leg, and smacked the soldier with the rose on her braid. It embedded itself in the Chitauri's neck killing it instantly.

Raven attacked one of the other Chitauri with her knife and they traded blows as she heard Clint saying, "Well they can't bank worth a damn."

What is he talking about? Raven wondered wincing as she killed the Chitauri she was fighting but another one had shot her in the back. She fell forward as she felt a searing pain along the back of her right ribs. Bloody hell that hurt! Raven swore softly as she rolled over pulling her gun out. She shot the Chitauri that were on the roof and sat up. I really don't like guns. You have far less control over them. Raven stood up grimacing slightly.

She heard Tony over the radio, "Nice call what else you got?"

"Well Thor's taking on a squadron down on sixth," Clint's voice came back.

"And he didn't invite me," Tony replied.

"Well of course he didn't Tony," Raven told Tony. "You rarely ever get an invite since you just crash whatever party you feel like."

"Really Raven?!" Tony protested causing Clint and Nigel to chuckle. "Did you have to butt in like that?"

"No I didn't have to, I felt like it," Raven replied smiling. Tony snorted in annoyance.

"I swear you are so frustrating," Tony groaned and Raven could practically hear him roll his eyes.

"That's rich coming from you," Raven shot back as she ran along the rooftops. She didn't see any Chitauri on the roofs she was on and Tony had lapsed into an annoyed silence. Raven figured he was just sulking. She slowed to a stop on a roof which it turns out was the one that Clint was on. She sat down on part of the roof to catch her breath and rest her aching back when she saw Natasha riding one of the enemy hovercrafts and Clint near where she was sitting.

"What are you doing Nat?" Clint asked confused. Natasha said something and Raven noticed Loki was chasing her on another hovercraft. "I got him." Clint told Natasha nocking an arrow to his bow. He drew the string back and fired the arrow right at the God of Mischief's eye. Unfortunately Loki caught the arrow just before it hit him.

"Good shot. Pity Loki caught it though," Raven told Clint smiling. Clint looked over at her slightly surprised to see her there and then he smirked as his arrow exploded knocking the Asgardian out of the air. Raven blinked in surprise and then laughed. "Nice."

"Hey Raven," Tony called.

"Oh finally done sulking are we?" Raven asked smiling. Clint rolled his eyes as he shot another Chitauri warrior down.

"There's a whole squadron of aliens on the roof right next door to you. Think you can handle it? I'm stuck on the ground dealing with two squads."

Raven chuckled, "Fine whatever." She grinned at Clint before jumping over to the next roof. Raven was just beheading the last member of that squadron when Clint's roof exploded. She felt a wrench in her gut as she heard and felt the explosion. Raven picked herself up off of the roof where she had been knocked back. She put a hand to her ringing ear and radioed Clint hoping he'd answer. "Clint?" The worry in her voice didn't go unnoticed by Nigel, Tony, or Natasha.

"I'm good," Clint voice replied after a few seconds his voice slightly tight with pain. Raven let out the breath she didn't realize she'd been holding in relief.

Natasha's voice then came over the comm. "I can close it! Can anybody copy? I can shut the portal down!"

Finally, Raven thought.

"Do it!" Steve ordered.

"No, wait!" Tony countered shocking Raven.

"Tony, these things are still coming!" Nigel told Tony as Raven was about to ask Tony what the hell did he think he was doing.

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

He's not serious? Raven wondered as she saw Tony start to fly the missile to the portal.

"Stark, you know that's a one way trip," Steve told Tony as Tony disappeared into the portal.

Come on Tony you'd better fly back out of that portal or I'll tan your hide and wreck your lab. Raven thought worriedly gnawing her lower lip. Steve gave the order to Natasha to close the portal after they'd been waiting for what felt like forever. Raven watched the beam that held the portal open disappear and the portal started to shrink. Just before it closed completely a red and gold suit fell through and below the line of buildings out of Raven's line of sight. She sighed in relief as Steve confirmed that Tony was alive. Raven ran down the stairs and out of the building to rejoin the others at Stark Tower of which only the A was actually left attached to the building.

They all gathered in front of an unconscious Loki the sight of which made Raven chuckle as she pictured the god of mischief being thrown around like a rag doll. Clint knelt in front of Loki and pointed his last arrow at the God's eye waiting for him to wake up. After he woke up to all the Avengers standing or in Clint's case kneeling around him Loki sat up saying, "If it's all the same to you, I'll have that drink now." Raven snorted and smirked as Loki was denied his drink. Not long after Loki got up a squadron of SHIELD agents arrived at the tower to take Loki into custody until Thor would take him back to Asgard the next day.

"Well that's done," Nigel said putting his arm around Raven's shoulders as Loki was led away gagged and handcuffed. "So what now?"

Tony grinned broadly, "Shawarma!"

"Gesundheit," Raven told Tony looking at him strangely.

"I don't know what that means," Tony said. "But we're going to a shawarma joint around the corner and you can't say no."

Raven rolled her eyes, "It means bless you Tony. But since you don't speak German…"

"Give the guy a break Rae," Nigel said laughing. He threw her over his shoulder to carry her out of the building.

"Nigel!" Raven protested pounding him on his back. "Put me down!"

"No not yet," Nigel replied keeping a firm grip on Raven's back to stop her from wriggling out.

Seeing that she couldn't get free without hurting Nigel, Raven sighed and crossed her arms. She glared at Clint who was smirking while Tony looked at Nigel in shock. "Dude the last time I tried that to get her out of my lab I ended up flat on my back."

Nigel chuckled, "Yeah well that's because I'm her brother and one of the two people that can actually get away with it." He grinned. "It would have been three if someone participated in these games."

Natasha smiled, "Yeah well they're just a little too childish for me."

Nigel and Clint shared a look that unnoticed by Raven since they weren't in her line of sight. Tony started complaining, "Well then who's the other?"

Nigel set Raven down who started to say, "Well it's-" before Clint went and picked her up the same way. "Clint!" He chuckled as similar protests came from Natasha who had been picked up by Nigel. Tony chuckled, watching Raven and Clint noticing that they still had noticed that the other liked them. Oh well maybe they would bond over shawarma and if not well he'd get to have some fun.

In the elevator Clint and Nigel set Raven and Natasha back on their feet because they weren't mean enough to embarrass them by carrying them like that in public. That and they really enjoyed living. Once at the shawarma joint they all learned that shawarma was a Middle Eastern sandwich made up of shaved lamb, goat, chicken, turkey, beef or any mix thereof. So that's what shawarma is. Raven thought as they all ordered. Nigel and Raven both got lamb as it was one of their favorite foods but since it tended to be more popular in England, they didn't get it very often.

As Raven finished off her sandwich she saw Tony lean back in his chair wiping his hands with a napkin. He smirked and threw the now balled up napkin at Clint which bounced off of him. The archer's annoyed glare at tony made Raven chuckle. Clint chucked the napkin back at Tony hitting him square on the nose. Tony was about to throw his napkin back when Raven tossed hers at him. "Fair is fair and you did start it." Tony glared at her before flicking his napkin at her. Soon there was an all out napkin war going on between Tony, Clint, Raven and Nigel who had decided to join in giving them some much needed fun after the long fight.
