I know I left you all on that awful cliffhanger in the last chapter, but I managed to do a double upload, so you'll be fine. Enjoy this chapter!

Chapter Eleven

"WHAT?" was the collective response to the agent's message. "No no no no, we changed that! We made sure he wouldn't die!" Stella began pacing the room. "We took every precaution, even getting Loki to come with us! And now, he's dead! He can't be dead! He can't! Coulson Lives! #CoulsonLives!"

"Stella, calm down." I put a hand on her shoulder, which promptly fell off as she started moving again.

"No, I will NOT calm down! Coulson is dead and we might be too after-" she was cut off by Rayna, who pointed to the agent still standing in the doorway, albeit confused.

"You idiot! If she finds out, then Fury will know! Do you want that?" she whispered furiously. Stella nodded in understanding and flopped down onto the bed.

"He's dead..." she repeated over and over. Sensing she should leave, the agent shut the door behind her.

"Look, I'm upset about this too, but we're about to go on a potentially life-threatening mission. You need to focus. Besides, remember what was supposed to happen? You knew that he lived, and it isn't any different here. You need to stop whining and suit up. Not all the Avengers are assembled yet." I said quietly. She nodded, and grabbed the bag on the bed, teleporting out of sight.

"If this girl gets any crazier, she might give Deadpool a run for his money." Rayna commented, as I picked up my bag from the bed.

"We leave in 20 minutes. Suit up."

Outside the door, Agent Melinda May smiled and began to walk back down the hall. She had all the information she needed on what the opposite-dimension girls planned to do. As she headed back to the main console of the Helicarrier, she could only hope that Director Fury could stop them in time.

Artemis was in her room, staring at herself in the mirror, wondering how the heck this had happened. Being a superhero, an Avenger even, was not at all what she was expecting to do in her life. She had put on the dark green sleeveless top and dark brown leggings, plus a piece of armor that went around her neck and covered her shoulders in the same color as the leggings. She had on fingerless gloves, combat boots, and was in the process of attatching a gun holster to her thigh.

"How did I get roped into this?" she said to nobody in particular.

"Whoever made that portal is the one to blame." came Rayna's voice behind her. She had appeared, in a tight fitting yellow shirt and black leggings, with metal armor over her chest and shoulders that looked wrong to take into battle.

"It helps me control my powers." she said, answering my questions. She too had a gun holster, this time on her arm, fully loaded. "All we need is Stella, and we're good."

"We'll get a signal from Loki on when the first Leviathin comes through the portal, so we can teleport in." As I continued on the location we would be going into, Stella came in, carrying 3 small pieces of metal in her hand. From her clothes, you could barely tell she was about to head into battle with an alien army. She had on a simple T-shirt, jeans, and a brown leather jacket. When we asked, she simply replied, "I'll be fighting as an animal. I don't need all that crap."

"Earpieces." she told us, placing them on us. "We need to be able to communicate from afar."

"And how did you get these?" I asked. "And what about connecting to everyone else?"

"I have my ways."

"Director, I have evidence that subjects 0A4, 0A5, and 0A6 have made plans to slip away into the city to help." Agent May began, stepping into the console area.

"I assumed this would happen."

"We can send in agents to retain them before they can-"

"Before they can do what? Make sure that this battle is won? They're from an alternate universe where what would have happened had they not appeared is a movie? Only the Avengers fought against the Chitauri, plus Loki, and won, so with them added and one less Asgardian on the other side, we will win."

"Sir, they're disobeying your direct orders."

"Let them."

She began to object, but she stopped and began walking back. "Yes sir." She continued on, towards the barracks. Director Fury may have no problem, but she wasn't going to let 3 barely of-age women launch themselves into battle. She tapped her earpiece. "I need 5 agents to report to room 770. I don't give a damn who, but I need them there NOW!" She smirked. They weren't going anywhere.

"That's our signal." I yelled, as my phone began buzzing on the desk.

"You sure you're ready for this?" asked Stella. "We're up against thousands."

"If 6 people could do it, then 10 should have it easy."

"I assume that's a yes." Rayna smiled at me, and we were standing on the streets of New York with 6 highly confused superheroes watching both us and the Leviathin headed towards us.

"Ummmm, surprise?"

Outside 770, Agent May and her backup were outside, picking the lock on the door. A quiet click was heard, and the door went slamming into the wall. "Nobody leaves this room!"

"There's no one here." one of the others pointed out. She searched the room, enraged, before finding a sheet of paper taped to the back of the door.

"YOUR FAULT WE LEFT ALREADY."

"Are you kidding me?"

So yeah, I incorporated one of the characters from Agents of SHIELD, because I'll probably tie in the series later on (once it premieres.) Also, the subjects issue will be discussed at the end. Next chapter: the battle part one! ~AriRee
