Chapter 12
I folded my arms over my chest and huffed angrily. I leaned further back on my uncomfortable chair silently sulking.
Josh raised an eyebrow at me but didn't say anything, he had known me long enough to know what was coming.
"I can't believe they'd just leave me here like that!" I finally let out.
Josh didn't say anything.
"I mean I can be useful!" I flapped my arms around a bit, "I can be very VERY useful! Can they shoot blue lightning out of their palms? No! If Hydra is looking for me, doesn't that give me more of a choice whether I want to go or not? They can't just leave me here!"
I breathed out a sigh of relief at letting that out.
"Can they leave you?" Josh asked intently.
"No, they can't" I said quietly.
"You can't beat Hydra though, can you?"
"I can, i can shoot electricity out of my hands!"
"So why'd they leave you?"
I shrugged.
"Guess they think strong enough," Josh twirled his messy blonde hair.
"I am!" I clenched my fist, Why was he doing this?
"They still left you," He stood up.
"They did!"
"What you gonna do then?" He was standing face to face with me, I could feel his hot breath on my cheeks.
"I don't know!"
"What are you going to do then?" He asked again.
"I'm going to go there!"
"Yes?"
"And beat the shit outta Hydra!"
"Why?"
"Because I'm Kat Smith and I can shoot lasers out of my hand."
Silence fell across the room, Buzzing was the only sound I could hear (I can hear electricity, is that weird).
"Did you just?"
"Yeah."
…
The Avengers were struggling.
A lot.
They were overwhelmed by the hordes of soldiers and not to mention the teleporting freak who was accompanied by a guy who could change whatever weapon he had.
They had managed to drag the fight into a secluded street.
Steve was pretty sure that this area had once been a bustling area with expensive flats, beautifully decorated interiors of hotels and plants that lined the pavement.
However most of that had probably been burnt to crisp,trampled on, used as a Javelin (by the hulk), turned to ash or rubble, cut down, jumped down and many other ways you can think of demolishing things.
Tony shot a blue tinted beam directly into a wave of Hydra soldiers coming at him. It knocked down those in the front of the waves but more just trampled over the dead bodies.
Hulk was attempting to take out another large group of soldiers and was certainly doing better than Tony but still, not that well. He'd just pick up someone throw them around for a bit then throw them off. There was still too many soldiers for him too handle.
The hawk and the widow weren't doing bad. They stood up on the rooftops shooting anyone that came close to the entrance. They chose a better vantage point to get rid of the soldiers creating chaos.
Thor and Steve weren't so much concentrating on the soldiers but more on the two men circling them.
One called himself Swish.
The other Shifter.
They both had interesting abilities: One could teleport to any location he desired another could change the weapon he was holding.
Thor was battling it out with the teleporting psycho, neither of them one winning. No matter how many times Thor would swing his hammer at the ginger haired man, he'd miss. No matter how many Swish would stab Thor in the back, The demi-God would heal.
Both struck blows. some powerful and painful, others weak and unharming. Either way no side was winning.
Steve was battling the stout man who could change his gripped his shield tighter and face the man. Shifter's weapon now matched his own. Except instead of red and silver with a grey star on a blue background, It was a simple black cross on a blood red background with a silver outline around the shield.
Steve threw his shield directly at the brown haired man who easily side stepped out of the way. He watched it narrowly miss cutting his face with a calm expression on his face. The 'Shifter' swung his own shield at Steve, he protected his own face with his hands. He felt the shield dig into his palms and he bit back at his tongue to stop himself crying out in pain.
"Who are you?" Steve grasped at his own shield.
"I came here to fight not give away precious information," The stout man said in his surprisingly deep voice.
Steve gripped his shield tighter, "why do you want Kat?"
"He told me to get her, I did not ask for a reason." Shifter bluntly told him in his monotone voice.
"Okay?" Steve charged, His shield covering his face.
He suddenly felt something blunt hit him in the stomach. He felt the wind being knocked out of him and he collapsed to the floor clutching his stomach. He looked up to see he'd been hit by the wooden hilt of an axe. The Shifter held it above his head and prepared to swing.
Steve looked frantically around for his shield but he couldn't see it.
He braced himself for a hit. And…
Nothing happened.
A loud ringing sound echoed around the street, causing everyone fighting to stop and look at the commotion going on.
Steve looked up slowly and saw something he did not expect.
The Shifter kneeling on the floor gasping for air.
A very very familiar blonde kid standing over him with his right hand stretched out. In his left hand he held a small gun.
Behind him stood a black haired girl holding his shield above her head standing where the shifter once stood.
Steve took Josh's hand and stood up. Steve dusted himself off and turned to face Kat, "how dare you leave the-"
"Blah, blah, blah," Kat mimicked his mouth moving with her hands, "I'm here to kick ass not get lectured by you."
"Fine but afterwards i am going to-"
"Okay this is the point where I stop you and we fight, okay?"
"Okay."
The fighting restarted after a moment of awkward silence.
