Standing in her temporary room on the helicarrier, Liana strapped on her silver armour over the top of a loose, black shirt and pants. A plan had been created between, stark, the captain and herself on how they were going to beat Loki at his own game.
Steve was informing Natasha while both liana and Tony suited up in their armour. She laced up a pair of back boots, pulling the strings tight. Plaiting her blonde hair back she let it fall behind her so it wouldnt get caught.
She flicked open her steelcase, pulling out her already strung bow throwing it over her shoulder along with a black quiver, silver arrows with a blue tip at the end inside. Liana strapped that one as well before twirling three daggers in her hands, placing them on her knife belt.
Finally she unsheathed her sword, checking its sharpness, the small drop of blood trickling down her finger before her magic healed the tiny wound. She strapped the belt around her waist before sheathing her sword.
Liana joined Steve, Natasha and Clint walking down the helicarrier's quinjet section. A young shield pilot looks up from inside one of them and stands in their way. 'You are not authorized to be here...' He begins but Steve cuts him off 'Son... just don't' he warns.
They climb aboard, Steve and Lian strapping themselves in while Natasha and Clint take control of the jet, flying it out of the helicarrier and into the cloudy, blue sky.
Tony had gone ahead to confront Loki, not necessarily for negotiations but to keep him busy for a while. Liana didn't know how long the distraction would work, after all it was Loki, the God of mischief, if he couldn't see through a diversion then no one could. However right now it was their best hope.
The jet rocked as it zoomed through the sky towards New York City and Liana stares out of the window in stunnedshock. On the roof of stark tower a large blue beam is bursting up into the sky, a vortex appearing at the end of the beam. The darkness of space is a large contrast to the light blue sky. Through the ripped hole in the sky, the chitauri army spills out in flying chariots, carrying energy rifles with a bayonet on the end.
Liana can see iron man flying in between the chitauri warriors, sending out misses from his shoulder pads, however it only hits a few of them the rest flying straight for the city.
'Ever seen anything like this before?' Steve wonders from beside Liana and she turns to look at him.
'No' is all she's able to mutter out as she stares down at the destruction the aliens are creating throughout the city. Explosion rips through the window of the top corner of buildings, flame and stone raining down to the streets below. Liana could almost hear the screams of the people.
'Stark, we're heading north east' Liana hears Natasha speak over the comms.
'What, did you stop for drive-thru?' Tony speaks through the line, in his usual sarcastic fashion before he becomes serious 'Swing up park, I'm gonna lay 'em out for you'.
Liana sees through the window as iron man banks around his tower. Frowning, her eyes narrow spotting Thor and Loki battling it out on the outside of the tower. However she sets her emotions aside, focusing her attention on the problem at hand.
Flying up, iron man puts the following chitauri in view of the quinjet and Natasha takes out the jet's machine gun, firing at the aliens .
Liana looks forward as Natasha and Clint fly the jet up the side of stark tower, shooting at every chariot that they come across. Finally they reach the penthouse, seeing Loki and Thor continuing to fight out on the balcony. 'Nat?', Clint speaks and Natasha nods.
'See them'. Hawkeye banks the jet forward and Nashua begins shooting at Loki while Thor is down. However Loki is able to aim an energy blast their engine from his scepter.
The quinjet's engine goes up in a ball of flame causing the jet's occupants to rock from side to side from the impact. Both Steve and Liana grasp hold of the jet's roof to get themselves stabilised.
With only one engine working hawkeye maneuvers one wing of the jet as they spin and slow. Liana feels the ground slip away from her as they turn, passing building before crashing down onto the street below.
With everyone okay, Natasha and Clint unfasten their seatbelts and open the ramp. Liana follows Steve out, followed by the two agents. 'We've got to get back up there' Steve urges and the other silently agree following after him.
They all arrive in the middle of a four-way street when suddenly, the city lurches to a stop, a deep, primal rage echoing out through the city. The four of them look up to sky.
A large chitauri leviathan flies out of the portal, carrying hundreds of solider, his sheep being pure steel plates of armour. The four of em stare wide eyed as the leviathan flies over them, all completely out of their element even liana who's never had to face anything like this before. From both sides, chitauri warriors jump off the leviathan attaching themselves to the sides of buildings, sliding down. Some even crash through windows, terrifying the occupants inside.
'Stark, are you seeing this?' Captain America questions through the comm.
'I'm seeing, still working on believing' stark mutters before asking 'Where's Banner? Has he shown up yet?'
'Banner?'
'Just keep me posted. Jarvis, find me a soft spot' Tony say as he quietly flies behind and parallel with the leviathan.
Liana follows the other, hiding behind upside down taxis. 'WeKev got civilians trapped.., was all Clint could say before the chariots shot energy beams at the street.
'Loki' Liana mutters as she watches Loki take the lead as the chitauri begin to fire, creating a chain of exploding that smashes cars hurling them into the air in a ball of fire and smoke. Terrified expressions are on the people's faces as they run away from the destruction.
'Those people need help down there' Steve mutters just bolts of energy hit one of the cars near them. Liana throws up a force field, protecting them from the shots so Natasha can fire in their direction without being harmed while Clint slides over to the taxi opposite, bow ready in his hands.
'We got this. It's good. Go!' Natasha urges Steve as she kneels back down beside him, Liana dropping the field.
'You think you can hold them off?' He addresses hawkeye who turns and smiles.
'Captain' he pulls a trigger on his bow; an arrow mechanically chosen 'It would be my genuine pleasure' he grins before he shoots an arrow into the creature's head. Natasha begins shooting at them and liana pulls out her own bow beginning to fire.
Liana covers Clint as he runs over to a bus full of trapped people. From the windows, small children are held by their parents for hawkeye to pull them out to safety. Liana flicks her wrist, opening up the bus for so the adults can hurry out of the bus as well. Liana narrowly ducks as an energy beam is sent straight for her head as soon as she drops the field. Grabbing her bow, she fires at the offending alien, hitting him straight in the head.
Fighting together, the trio fire either bullets or arrows into the chitauri solider's, the alien body count climbing. As soon as they start to get a little too close for comfort, liana pushes them back with a jerk of her hand, sending them reeling over the side of the bridge with a beam of magic. Hawkeye trips a solider before ramming an arrow down his throat while Natasha gets her hands on an energy rifle and begins to fight them.
Out of nowhere captain america reappears slamming the soliders away with his shield. Then lightning strikes down from the sky, channeling the blast, firing the electricity out at the chitauri around them. They're blasted back in a massive shockwave and convulse before dropping dead to the ground.
Thor falls to the ground and steadies himself using a nearby car as the other crowd around him, 'What's the story upstairs?' Steve urges.
'The powers surrounding the cube is impenetrable' Thor explains.
'Thor is right' Tony backs up the god over the comm 'We gotta deal with these guys'
'How do we do this?' Natasha questions, looking for a plan of action.
'As a team' Steve states firmly.
'We have unfinished business with Loki' liana speaks up, glancing over at her brother who nods in agreement.
'Yeah, get in line' hawkeye says as he checks his arrows.
'Save it. 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...' Just then, Banner arrives on a small motorbike.
Getting off, he looks around the city as the others move towards him 'So, this all seems horrible' he observes.
'I've seen worse' Natasha mutters.
'Sorry' he apologises with a regretful look in his eyes.
'No. We could use a little worse' Natasha corrects a small smile playing on her lips and banner nods.
'Stark? We got him' captain rings in through the Comms.
'Banner?' Tony guesses.
'Just like you said' Steve nods.
'Then tell him to suit up. I'm bringing the party to you' iron man comes out from behind a building with the chitauri leviathan following, impatiently.
The rest of the avengers look up, getting ready and standing still, 'I... I don't see how that's a party...' Natasha mutters and Liana nods in agreement staring wide eyed as iron man swoops down the street. The leviathan also swoops down, barreling down the street like a freight train that keeps building and building its intensity. Banner looks behind him before he begins to walk towards the monster, the team's eyes following his movements.
'Dr. Banner. Now might be a really good time for you to get angry' Steve calls out after him as the leviathan comes closer.
Banner turns around as he walks 'That's my secret, Captain. I'm always angry' with those words his body starts to swell and stretch and harden, turning green as he transforms into the hulk.
Turning around just in time, hulks fist smash straight into the creatures nose, an it begins to flip over in a full 360. Iron man, in mid-flight, extends his arm out and a rocket, ready to shoot 'hold it' he calls before he fires, the rocket hitting the alien's soft spot, blowing it to pieces. Other pieces of meat catch and withdraw, sizzling as they hit the pavement. Liana raises a force field to protect the team as burning pieces of leviathan rain down on them.
Seamlessly all the avengers gather in a circle as the chitauri roar in furious anger but the hulk roars back equally as loud. Subconsciously they all display their weapons, Clint with his bow, arrow nocked and ready to fire. Thor retightens his grip on Mjolnir, Natasha reloads her gun, liana eyes glow fiercely as magical energy appears in her hands and captain America hold up his shield. They all stand together as the chitauri roar echoes throughout the city, ready to fight as a team.
From above, Loki watched emotionless as he spoke 'send the rest'.
