The Battle #2
Madness. This was the only word, that came to your mind, as you watched the metallic whale fly above your heads and tearing apart the buildings with its fins. What was Loki thinking in releasing such creatures here? You flew up a bit higher, to see how Thor was doing with fighting the mentioned crazy god, and for your surprise, you saw Loki falling down and dropping on one of the Chitauri flying scooters. You wanted to fly after him, but Captain stopped you. "No, we have other things to do. He will wait" You looked at Steve with slightly annoyed look, but he was right, no matter how you were thirsty for revenge right now, you had to do something about protecting the city. You nodded your head and landed back to the ground next to Natasha and Clint, that were hiding behind a cab. Steve soon joined you three. "We have civilians trapped in there" Barton gestured with his head towards one of the busses and you cursed in your mind. You never were that 'hero' type, that would do anything to save people. God, you were a vampire, a creature that fed on them, why would you ever care about them in the first place? But you sure thing didn't want to become something like Stella... Maybe that's why you were so eager to become a heroine today?
Something flew right above your heads and you ducked from a sheer instinct. You looked up to see Loki with a bunch of his Chitauri minions, flying down the street and shoot at every single car, making them explode. "Wow, he really hates cars, doesn't he?" you commented, which made Natasha and Clint chuckle a bit. "We'll be sure to ask him about it when we catch him" Clint said, but then looked at you with a strange smirk on his face. "But only after I have some quality time with him alone..." You raised your eyebrows a bit, trying to imagine what could Barton possibly do to Loki for that mind control trick. "Just don't forget to leave some for me too..." you murmured, since you had some plans for the damned God also... While you four were watching what Loki was doing, some Chitauri managed to get behind you and one shot right at you, but missed and shot the cabs window. Natasha took out her two pistols and shot at the alien, while Barton moved to the other cab and took cover. As you watched, two more aliens jumped down and took their weapons. Natasha looked at you and Steve. "We got this" she said while nodding. "It's good. You two go" Steve looked at Barton, while you stood up and looked around, checking if there were any Chitauri behind you. "You think you can hold them off?" Captain asked, to which Barton just smiled. "Captain..." the archer clicked something which made his quiver buzz a little. "It would be my genuine pleasure" he quickly took the arrow and after standing up, shot the alien right in the head. "Nice..." you smiled slightly and while Natasha was giving you cover, you moved with Steve.
He jumped down from the little bridge you were on, on the bus and down from it, while you were gliding above him, trying to protect him from the shots that were fired at you two right after. You had to get back to the ground once there were more civilians around you. You didn't want them to be more freaked out by your wings then they already were. You were running down the street, more evading the shots, than actually doing something productive. Though you managed to get few with some cars hood, after you threw it at them, almost cutting them in half. You bit your lip a bit and ran after Steve. You'll have to be more careful with your throws. Even though Loki managed to revive your heart somehow, you didn't lose as much power as you thought you will, so basically, you were as strong as before. Not to mention that new power, that you gained after Loki started controlling you. Though you had no idea what it was, you still could feel something new inside of you, and the blue eye also kept reminding you that. But whatever it was, for some reason you wanted to get rid of it, as soon as possible. You already were a freak in your own eyes, there was no need to have another power that would validate your thought about yourself again...
You and Steve jumped on the police car, right in the middle of the conversation those two cops were having. Steve, as being Captain America, soon started to give orders. For some reason you almost laughed, seeing how confused the police officers were. "You need men in these buildings" he said, while pointing at the locations. "There are people inside and they will be running right into the line of fire." not paying attention to the officers, Steve continued to give the orders. "You take them to the basements or to the subway. You keep them off the streets". You were standing silent and a bit further, more looking at the surroundings, if any of the aliens decided to jump at them. But you still listened to what Steve was saying. He wasn't just ordering the cops, he really was worried about the civilians, not like you... Maybe that was because he was in the front lines during World War 2? "I need a perimeter as far as 39th" he gestured towards the street, while one of the officers started to smile. 'Oh boy...' you thought. 'Here comes the stupid questions...' and as you finished your thought, the cop opened his stupid mouth. "Why the hell I should take orders from you?" You were about to move towards the cop with a plan, how to make him listen, when a Chitauri flying scooter went right out of the building, making an explosion. Three of them jumped next to you and Steve. But just like before, you were victorious. Steve managed to get one of the guns from the alien and without even looking handed it to you. "Hm.. I might keep it.." you muttered and shot one of the passing aliens with the gun, that looked more like a spear. "Yep, I'm keeping this..." you nodded to yourself and looked back at the cop, hoping that now he will do what Steve said. Without any hesitation the cop turned around and repeated everything that Captain said back to his men. "Good job, Captain" you nudged Steve in the shoulder and went back towards where you left Natasha and Barton.
You crashed the little party that Barton and Natasha were having back on the little bridge. Giving few kicks here and there, you noticed, that Natasha was also wielding the spear gun. 'Wow, this thing is getting popular around humans' you smiled slightly and kicked another alien in the stomach, right before they were electrified with some lightning bolts. You looked up and saw a blonde God coming to you. "Well, look who finally showed up!" you smiled more widely. You had no idea why, but Thor always made you feel a little bit happier inside. Probably because he was blonde... and so not used to human world. "What's the story upstairs?" Captain asked while you didn't say another unnecessary replica. "The power field around the cube is impenetrable" Right after Thor informed you, you heard Tony in the ear-piece. "He's right. We got to deal with these guys..." You scoffed a little. "Well, ain't this fun?" you said with a little(a lot) of sarcasm in your voice. There had to be a way to shut down the portal, but you weren't very smart when it came to this kind of science. "How do we do this?" Natasha asked, while you were still gazing at the portal in the sky. "As a team" Captain answered and you had to agree with him. One by one, they won't do shit... "I have unfinished business with Loki" Thor said and made you and Barton look at him. "Get in line, Thor" you said with a slightly angry tone and crossed your arms on your chest. Thor looked at you, ready to argue, but he saw your look. Or more precisely - your differently colored eyes. "What...happened?" he clearly haven't seen anything like that before. "Your brother. That's what happened..." you growled a bit, again thinking how to kick Lokis sorry ass. "Save it" Captain looked at you and walked more towards Barton. "Loki's gonna keep the fight focused on us and that's what we need. Without him, these things could go wild." He turned to you and the others, lifting his hands up a bit. "We've got Stark up top. He's gonna need us to..." You tilted your head a bit, when you heard the buzzing motorcycle stop not too far away from all of you, which interrupted Steve. He looked behind him to see what it was. And the person that was standing in front of them right now gave that little hope, that all of this will be over sooner than they first thought.
"So... This all seems horrible..." Banner said, while all of you walked towards him. "I've seen worse..." You looked at Natasha, who didn't look very comfortable standing next to Bruce. Something must have happened between them back at the Helicarrier. Banner looked at the red-head too. "Sorry..." he apologized, but Natasha just shook her head a bit. "No.. We could use a little worse..." You gave a little smile. "Finally, we're all together again. Blah, blah, sentiments, now let's go kick some alien butt" you said, while Steve was talking with Tony. You could even see something like a smirk in Natasha's and Thor's face. They wanted the same as you did... "I'm bringing the party to you." You heard Tony say to you all and for a second you felt a bit confused. A party? Not a second later, you saw Tony fly around the corner with the whale on his tail. You and Natasha stood next to each other, a bit too calm for this kind of situation, while looking emotionless at the huge creature. "I..I don't see how that's a party..." she said to Tony, while Thor and you grabbed your weapons, ready to kill the beast. You stood still, holding your ground, while the raging creature flew inches from the ground, destroying everything around it. Bruce looked at you and the others and slowly started to walk towards the whale. "Doctor Banner!" Steve stopped him for a moment. "Now might be a really good time for you to get angry..." While walking Bruce looked at him with a smile on his face. "That's my secret, Captain..." he stood still. "I'm always angry..." The words were spoken and the green Banners beast was out. Hulk struck the whale right in the head, making its tail go all the way up. Few more seconds and all of you might have become a flat pancake, but Tony shot something at the naked spot of the creature and blew it up. You covered your head with your wings, that way protecting yourself. When the whales head dropped down on the street below you, you flapped your wings a bit and stood next to your comrades. "Well, this is getting fun, isn't it?"
