Previously:
Thor grinned and went to check Steve's reaction but the other teen was missing. Frowning and looking around, Thor was about to call out for the missing blonde when an evil laugh interrupted him.
"Oh well done young Steven! I didn't expect you to bring me ALL of the avengers!" Loki said in fake sweetness.
The just reunited group turned to see Steve standing beside Loki with a menacing smirk on his face.
"Hello Avengers." Loki greeted with a smile and a hand on the mind-controlled Steve's shoulder.
"Loki." Clint acknowledged the tall god of mischief.
"What did you do to Steve?" Natasha questioned with a harsh glare.
"Oh just a little spell… it'll pass." Loki replied with a sickly sweet grin.
"Why are doing this may I ask?" Tony asked with confidence and curiosity, leaning forward a bit.
Natasha put a careful hand on the brunette teen's shoulder and pushed him back a little bit protectively. Loki sent Tony a big smile which made the teenager step back further behind Natasha, feeling slightly creeped out.
"This is all a part of my magnificent plan, young Stark. My plan to destroy the avengers and take over what is rightfully mine! Soon every mortal on this puny planet will be taking orders from me, their king."
"Brother! This isn't right! What would father think? Asgard is your home! They treat you highly there do they not?" Thor said in a desperate matter.
"Ha! Oh almighty Thor, how oblivious you are." The evil man replied with a half annoyed look on his face.
"Do you feel like a big shot Loki? Having to turn the avengers into children to defeat them?" Clint spoke up with attitude. He was steaming with anger towards the villain in front of them.
Loki snickered a bit and took a step forward, "I'll do whatever it takes."
As he stepped forward, Natasha slowly placed her hand on the gun that was strapped to her side.
Noticing what she was doing, Loki chuckled a bit and stopped his steps forward. "Lady Natasha… Place all your Midgardian weapons down, trust me when I say they are useless compared to this staff I hold." Loki smirked at the women. He held his staff up high in a threatening manner, it glowed a magical green colour. Natasha lifted her gun out of the place where it sat and slowly held it out, it looked like she was going to drop it to the ground but anger and the need to protect her loved ones took control of her. Natasha lifted the gun higher and aimed it towards the tall enemy and at the same time the enemy aimed his own weapon. It was as if it was slow motion when the staff blasted a green strike of light and the sound of a gun shooting was heard.
The shot didn't come from Natasha's gun.
Time went back to normal speed and everyone jumped or ducked in surprise, when Loki, at the same time as shooting out at Natasha, was also being blasted off his feet and across the change room.
Loki being taken out didn't stop his own blast shooting out and striking Natasha on the shoulder. Letting out a pained yell, her own gun went flying and she fell back into Clint's arms. "Nat!" Clint shouted looking down at her in concern and softly lowering her to the ground.
"I'll be fine, I'll be fine!" Natasha gasped out swatting away Clint's attempt at checking out her wound. Pushing herself up and ignoring the near unbearable pain in her shoulder, she tried to see where the shot had come from.
All of the de-aged avengers were surrounding her.
Bruce looked like he was near a panic attack.
Thor had a terrified look on his face, his eyes darting all over the place.
Tony was crying and he kept repeating the same question, "Is she going to be okay?!"
And Steve, still under mind control was just staring at the scene, emotionless. It was as if he was a robot.
Clint was looking over Natasha in shock and concerned and kept asking her if she was okay and how much it hurt. He was interrupted by Natasha herself when she hit him and gestured to something in front of her. Looking up quickly, Clint stopped breathing as soon as he saw what she was gesturing to.
"Phil?"
Agent Coulson was standing there with a smile and a large gun in his hands that looked as though it was a new invention from either shield or Stark from before the de-aging. Maria Hill was also there standing beside Coulson with her own hand gun in her hand.
"We need to go." Maria suddenly said, walking forward. Coulson, agreeing, followed after.
"Wait. What? I- wha- huh?" Clint had trouble speaking as he looked upon the friend he thought had passed away. Natasha just stared wide eyed, not evening attempting to speak.
"I'll explain later but we need to hurry, that's not going to keep Loki down for long!" Coulson said in a hurry, helping them up and then leading them all in a quick escape back into the school's hallway.
Clint went to grab hold of Steve but the boy was gone.
Dashing down the hallway, the group ran towards an unknown destination. Clint supported Natasha as she ran as well holding onto her shoulder.
"Can we stop somewhere and talk for a second?" Clint suddenly stopped with a frown. "I really need time to think right now."
Coulson nodded and led them all into the classroom that was across from them.
They all spread out on different desks, catching their breath.
"Fury and shield are on their way here." Maria said after reading a message on the device in her hand. "We can't stay here long. Loki is probably on his feet hunting us down right this moment." She continued speaking.
"Can't you just shoot him again?" Tony mumbled from where he was sitting, resting his head on his hand in exhaustion.
"You can only use it once and then it runs out." Coulson replied from where he was leaning on the teacher's desk.
"Well that's helpful." Tony spoke again with sarcasm.
"It's just a prototype, we are working on it." Coulson explained and Tony just rolled his eyes, he was tired of this whole situation and just wanted it all to be over.
"Does anyone here have any weapons to help defend ourselves if he finds us?" Coulson asked the room.
"I have my bow." Clint replied and all the de-aged avengers, Coulson and Maria frowned at him with confusion as the bow and arrows couldn't be seen anywhere. Clint sighed at the looks and stood up; he pulled out a small black square object and clicked the button on it. Suddenly it expanded and transformed into a bow. He then pulled a small tube and yanked it down, forcing it to expand into an arrow.
"Tony made it." He said simply, at the shocked faces.
Teenage Tony smirk, "You're welcome."
"Clint I'm sorry, but I don't think you're arrows are much against Loki's staff." Natasha said softly.
That's when Tony shot up from his sitting position with an idea, "They might with a bit of help with chemicals!" The others looked slightly confused so Tony continued, "If we go down to the science labs, I could create something that we can put on the arrows that might help to produce more damage to Loki! It could create more of a distraction so we can have a head start in getting away." Tony explained.
Coulson nodded, "That's actually a great idea Tony."
"Have I mentioned I'm a genius?"
"Once or twice." Clint replied and grinned at the boy.
The group silently and cautiously made their way to the science labs and as soon as they reached the rooms Tony got straight to work on making all kinds of chemicals to put on the arrows.
"I can make one that will cause the arrow to explode at impact." Tony informed them, not looking up or stopping his work.
"Yeah, future you made me some explosive arrows." Clint said as he watched the teen concentrate.
The others waited patiently and Maria kept watch at the door.
Natasha simply stared at Coulson from where she was seated, holding her bleeding wound. Feeling the stare Coulson made eye contact with her and sent her a small smile, "I would've told you but shield wouldn't let me." Coulson suddenly said.
Natasha simply nodded, "Shield and their secrets…" She muttered quietly but still loud enough for Coulson to hear.
"Why fake your death in the first place?" Natasha then questioned, tilting her head to the side.
"You guys needed the motivation; it also helped make you all become closer as a team." Coulson explained.
Natasha only nodded in reply; they would talk more about it later.
"That's five arrows done, all will have different reactions." Tony said as he pushed the five arrows carefully to Clint.
"We should keep a look out for Fury and shield. I'm going to go look out for them at the entrance of the school." Maria said pulling her hand gun back out.
Clint nodded and collected his bow and 5 arrows, "I'll come with you just in case Loki decides to make an appearance. I'll come back for the rest of the arrows after we get a hold of shield." He said, the last bit directed to Tony.
Tony nodded and handed Clint the sixth arrow.
"I'll stay here and keep watch." Coulson said standing up and heading to the room's door.
Maria nodded and with that both she and Clint went off in search of Fury and Shield.
The science room was silent with the exception of the sounds coming from Tony's experimenting. Natasha sat and observed the others in the room, her wounded shoulder still hurt but she was starting to become used to it. Moving her head to the side she looked at what Thor and Bruce were up to.
The two were seated close together, their legs touching. Thor was looking down at his fiddling hands in his lap and Bruce looked lost in thought as he stared into the space in front of him, there was silent tears sliding down his face.
"Hey Bruce," Natasha broke the silence, Bruce looked over to her in acknowledgement, "Come over here." Natasha said gesturing the boy over. Bruce stumbled up and walked silently over, sitting himself next to her. Natasha wrapped her arm around him and pulled him close in a comforting manner. "This is all very scary isn't it Bruce?" She spoke softly.
Bruce nodded and curled closely into her.
"It'll all work out in the end though. You're very brave you know?" Natasha told him with a small smile.
The boy looked up at that statement, his eyes wide and bright.
"One of the bravest kids I know!" She added, rubbing his shoulder softly to reassure him.
"What about me Lady Natasha?" Thor spoke up from where he was still seated.
"Oh you are definitely one as well, Thor!" Natasha sent the other a grin and Tony, overhearing the whole thing, smiled to himself.
"What about me Nat?" A voice came from the doorway.
Everyone looked up to see a crazed looking Steve with a gun held up in his hand.
"Steve? Put the gun down, okay? Don't let him control you this way!" Coulson said from where he stood next to the teen.
Steve swung around and pointed the gun at the older agent, "This needs to be done!"
"Why does it need to? Steve, don't believe his reasoning! He's evil!" Coulson tried again.
"IT JUST NEEDS TO!" Steve said in hysterics, from where Natasha was frozen in place she could tell the boy was shaking.
"Steve, don't let him do this to you, take control of your own body!"
"SHUT UP!"
Natasha saw that the boy was about to pull the trigger and made her way up to tackle him down so Coulson wouldn't get hurt, she wasn't going to lose him again. But before she could get to the boy Tony beat her to it and splashed some type of liquid in Steve's face. Instantly the blonde teenager was unconscious and limp on the ground.
"It's okay he's just sleeping! It'll wear off." Tony quickly informed them before they panicked.
Everyone let out a breath of relief and Tony put down the test tube that housed the liquid he threw at Steve with a sigh, "This has to be the longest day of my life."
