Bending down I grab a glowing stick weapon from a fallen Chitauri and examine it. On the staff, I find a button that must be the trigger.
Holding it steady I aim it at a Chitauri sneaking up on Cap and shoot. The blue pulse sends a knockback that bruises my shoulder but also kills the enemy behind Cap. He gives a nod of thanks to which I respond with a mock salute.
Whirling around I shoot the energy rifle at two more approaching Chitauri then look up to see one about to fly overhead. I wait until it is directly above and then I scream making it veer off course so I can shoot it down.
Near me Black Widow is taken off her feet by a Chitauri but before I can intervene she tiresomely cuts its throat with a knife and stands up. She then takes its weapon and turns on her heel prepared to fight Cap who came up behind her.
"Captain, none of this is gonna mean a damn thing if we don't close that portal," she sighs and leans on the energy rifle using it to support herself.
"Our biggest guns couldn't touch it," Cap remarks sourly.
"Well, maybe it's not about guns," Black Widow muses.
"You wanna get up there, you're gonna need a ride," Cap responds.
"I got a ride. I could use a lift though," she replies casually and gestures to the flying chariots above us that Gabie is currently racing after.
Watching curiously I raise an eyebrow as Black Widow backs up to and Cap angles his shield like a landing platform.
"Are you sure about this?" he inquires.
"Yeah. It's gonna be fun." Then she sprints at Cap, runs up an abandoned car, jumps onto Cap's shield, and launches herself into the air after he boosts her up. Once in the air, she grabs onto a chariot perfectly.
"Oh my god," I gape and hold a hand over my rapidly beating heart. That was so hot.
"You okay?" Cap asks, thinking I'm hurt.
"I'm just out of breath. You know never participated in gym class," I joke and he stares at me weirdly. "I already said that didn't I?" He nods and I shrug.
"If I may ask, how old are you?"
"Eighteen years old," I answer. "So you know old enough to die brutally while trying to defend a city." While talking I examine the surrounding rubble for more possible attackers.
Abruptly Cap grabs my hand and spins me around to face him. His grip is firm but gentle and though I should be scared at the sudden movement I'm not.
"You aren't going to die, I won't let you," he promises sincerely leaving me speechless. How could someone who just met me care so much?
Just behind him, I see a Chitauri hold up its weapon and aim. Moving quickly I leap up wrapping my legs around Caps waist, cover his ears with my hands, and scream over his head to kill the enemy. Cap's arms have tightened around me instinctively and even when the foe has fallen he doesn't let go.
"Sorry I-I uh had to act fast and I guess I wanted my legs around you again," I joke nervously and then blush bright red. "I cannot believe I just said that." Cap chuckles and carefully places me back on my feet.
That's when I spot the perfect escape, a Chitauri hoard heading down another street instead of at us.
"I'll go take care of those Chitauri you stay here, I see more coming," I murmur and break into a run to catch up with the aliens. My side complains and cramps up as I run but the intensity of the situation trumps the pain.

Flying through the battlefield I tear through Chitauri rides only stopping when I find Black Widow on one.
"Woah! Don't shoot!" she yells and I immediately put my hands up. I lose my balance at the lack of airflow but manage to keep myself afloat.
"I don't know what you're doing but I like it!" I exclaim as she jets by.
"Thanks!"
With a laugh on my lips, I continue my patrol.
Iron Man has landed briefly beside Captain America and fights with him. They move together utterly in sync and Cap even holds his shield up so Iron Man can shoot down Chitauri with its reflection beam. Once it's done Iron Man takes off again.
Just above Hawkeye is shooting arrow after arrow into hostiles. A small explosion behind me sends me rocking forward.
"Sorry there was a rider behind you," Hawkeye apologizes into the coms system.
"Thanks! Sorry for zoning out," I respond curtly and move along.
It's odd Allie isn't with Cap.

With a powerful scream, I take down two soldiers and knock the other one back. Before I can scream again it shoots me in the thigh and I fall backward. The pain is an electric feeling sting that makes my muscles seize up.
My back hits the ground followed by my head smacking against it hard.
My assailant comes back at me fast and grabs my neck squeezing it hard. Viciously I grab it's gross metallic but yet fleshy soldier and dig my nails in.
Air leaving my body makes my grip and the rest of me weaken.
The veins in my arm start running black and push to my hand. The Chitauri growls and recoils in pain as the black runs from my fingers to it. I hold tight until the creature is jerking on the ground. To end it I give a short sharp scream and grab away its energy rifle.

"That Leviathan has gone on long enough," I rumble and change course to intercept it.
Thor and Hulk are fighting on its back but can't concentrate on the beast while its minions hold defense. Thor is tearing alien and after apart while Hulk savagely punches. To help I hover by them and blow the Chitauri off it's back. Hulk instantaneously rips a metal spine off its back and slams it right back in pointy side down.
The Hulk is so ravenous and insane I contemplate not telling Allie that Bruce is her soulmate. He could hurt her or worse kill her.
"Thor! Shock it using the metal as a conductor!" I call. Thor raises his hammer and summons lightning right out of the previously sunny sky. A mighty cry comes from his lips as he forces his hammer onto the spine sticking from the Leviathan.
Right away the creature goes down and crashes through the history museum.
I soar through the shattered window and land by the dead alien to catch my breath.
Thor huffs and grins at his work. Hulk scoffs and punches Thor right across the building with his mighty fist.
If this weren't a serious situation it'd be comical.
