Chapter 14

Author's note: I just realized that I didn't do a disclaimer and after reading a certain fanfiction I would not like the entire Avengers squad to come to life and attack me so I DO NOT OWN THEM! I wish I did, but I don't which sucks. But anyways, *twirls* on with the story.

*boom clap it's Tony and Steve*

Tony landed a few feet away from where smoke was beginning to form. Steve let go of Tony's arm and untangled himself, falling to the floor with nausea and groaning.

"Cap, we got other problems so if you can just get up and actually help that would be amazing." Tony said sarcastically as he scanned the crowd of frightened citizens.

Steve gave a thumbs up, still staring at the ground with a groan and bleary eyes. He unsteadily, however, got up and followed Tony who had migrated over to Clint and Natasha. They both seemed to be concerned and angry. Steve quickly ran over and looked around the crowd but it was becoming difficult to see due to the smoke beginning to spread.

Suddenly a voice boomed over the unclear vision. "Where is Steve Rogers?"

Tony, Clint, and Natasha all looked over at him with wide eyes and a straight line of a smile. Steve blinked and slowly took his shield and placed it so it was comfortably surrounding his hand. He slowly began to creep forward but a metal hand gripped his shoulder.

"Steve, don't." He said almost angrily.

Steve whirled around at him with shocked disgust. "Excuse me? Whoever that is maybe they have Payton. I'm taking the chance right now Tony."

Steve waved off his hand and walked at a faster pace. "I'm here. Show yourself and who you are."

A figure began to emerge from the clouded area and Steve began to relax; that is until he saw the outline of a sword. Steve quickly dropped down and rolled diagonally from where he was before. The figure quickly followed and Steve lifted his shield just as the sword came to clash. There was a resounding boom and soon Steve heard the shouts of the others. A lightning bolt shot across the street and hit the figure but it seemed to only make it angry. Steve quickly jumped up and swung his shield, hitting the person in the head. There was shuffling and soon the fog began to clear to reveal the Avengers all formed in a circle around Loki.

Loki snickered. "Well well, look who we have here, One Direction."

Thor began to swing his hammer. "You are wrong Loki for we did not go in one direction! We went in several!"

Loki furrowed his eyebrow and everybody else just groaned.

Steve chuckled softly. "You realize that he means the band One Direction, right?"

Tony sputtered out a laugh. "Wait Steve do you listen to them?"

Steve shook his head violently. "No! Of course not! I don't even know the name of their first album."

"It's Up All Night." Clint muttered which earned a look of pure confusion from Natasha.

Loki struck down his staff at that moment, tired of the conversation. "ENOUGH!"

None of them had expected Loki to do anything with his staff but suddenly as if an invisible force were pushing them, the ground began to crack and along with the buildings surrounding them. Steve looked at the staff in confusion for he had not seen anything like it. The others had begun to leave the area but Tony, in his metal suit attacked and shot a bolt of hot energy into Loki's body. He lurched backwards and Steve raced forward, tackling Loki. The ground was breaking even more so and one area had begun to make a canyon. Steve dangled Loki above the abyss.

"Where is Payton?! Tell me! NOW! I know it was you so don't waste your time lying." Steve growled.

Loki gulped audibly and just laughed bitterly. "She has no need for you. She's with someone who actually cares for her."

Steve tightened his grip, earning a wince from Loki. "What? You?"

Loki smirked deviously at him. "Well I would think that her father would be the best choice. You know Mark has always been the best code name."
