Chapter 11
I do not own The Avengers in any way.
A/N- Welcome back!
Steve jumped in the middle and started fighting.
Suddenly, all the aliens were electrocuted.
Thor landed with a large BANG.
"What's the story upstairs?" Steve asked.
"The power surrounding the cube is impenetrable", Thor said.
"How do we do this?" Natasha asked.
"As a team", Steve said.
"I have unfinished business with Loki", Thor said.
"Yeah? Well get in line", Clint said screwing the top onto an arrow. He turned to Alaina. "You good?" he asked.
She pecked him on the lips and said, "Yeah".
Bruce suddenly drove up on a motorcycle. "So, this all seems horrible", he said.
"I've seen worse", Natasha said.
'I think we all have', Alaina thought.
"Sorry", Bruce said.
"No. We could use a little worse", she said.
Alaina found it hard to suppress a smile.
Stark flew around a corner, with one of the large alien animal things.
"Dr. Banner, now might be a good time for you to get angry", Steve said.
"That's my secret, Captain. I'm always angry", he said and hulked out, punching the thing in the face.
Stark fired a small missile at it and it exploded.
Clint shielded Alaina's body with his own.
The Avengers gathered in a small circle.
Both Clint and Alaina loaded an arrow into their bow.
They looked up and saw more coming.
"Call it, Captain", Stark said.
Steve began giving orders. "Barton, I want you on that roof. Eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays", Steve said.
"I'm going with him", Alaina said.
"No you're not", Clint told her.
"Excuse me?" she snapped, "I don't believe I asked you".
"Can't you listen to me for once?!" Clint yelled.
"Last time I didn't do what you told me, you were taken over by a crazy Asgardian!" Alaina yelled. She turned to Thor and said, "No offense by the way".
"Alaina", Clint sighed.
Alaina grabbed the back of Clint's neck and brought his face close to hers. "We're a package deal Clint. A team. You can't have one without the other. Face it", she said softly, "Besides, you'd be too worried about me to concentrate".
Clint smiled and kissed her. He broke away and said, "Okay".
"You two have really bad timing", Natasha said.
"You heard the girl, Cap. Package deal", Clint told Steve.
"Fine", Steve said, "Barton and Alaina". He turned to everyone else. "Stark, you got the perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back or you turn it to ash", Steve said.
"Wanna give us a lift?" Clint asked Stark.
"Right", he said, "Better clench up Legolas and Katniss".
They shot up into the sky.
When he set them down, Alaina wobbled on her feet.
"You okay?" Clint asked.
"Yeah. The blood just rushed to my head", she told him.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Ready", she said.
