The Idea in Action Part II
Niklas was searching frantically for the smart, but mentally weak, girl that had run off. He thought that Bella had gone a little too far, and in order to keep peace among the PrePowers, he had to find her and make it up somehow. It wasn't just the desire for peace that fueled his determination; it was the girl herself. Youngest, only to Niklas himself, the boy had developed a strong sense of kinship ("Love? Psh, no way," Niklas had responded, once questioned about it by his older sister) to the nerdy girl. She was kind and slightly afraid to show it off to the world, and he needed that side of Ally to come out again.
"Yoo hoo! Nikki! Come dance with me, babe. I'm lonely," a very familiar voice whined, but slightly not familiar. A hug from behind nearly pushed him to the ground with its force. He managed to escape, but turned to see that it wasn't Ally, but Ally 2.0, who had a lot more extrovertedness than plain old Ally.
"Ally?" he managed to choke out. The girl nodded enthusiastically, her now short choppy layers bouncing with the nodding of her head.
"Of course it's me, you silly goose! One dance? Please? With a cherry on top?" Ally begged, her lower lip coming out to taunt the helpless boy. Let's face it; Nikki is helpless in any situation that involves girls. Numbly, Niklas nodded. Ally squealed, actually squealed, in delight, and drug Niklas to the center of the dance floor, sashaying her hips. He started holding on to them, unsure of what to do next.
"Oh, you can move too, silly goose! You don't just have to do one thing," Ally admonished, moving her hands to start swaying Niklas hips. Niklas blushed bright red. What had happened to the conservative stereotypical Ally he knew and felt a strong friendship (NOT LOVE) to? A crash was heard near the bar, and two voices yelled over the crowd.
"BOW BEFORE US, MORTALS! Loki was right when he said you were meant to kneel, but to a foolish god as he, is utterly ridiculous. Isn't that right, my sweet Revenge?" a familiar voice roared, a voice Nikki dreaded hearing again since the day Thor saved him and Alyssia. Nikki pushed himself and Ally to the floor, and started crawling for the exit.
"Of course, my Warlord," the woman agreed, cackling like a witch.
"Ow! What was that for?" Ally whined, pushing up against him. Nikki was in too much shock to notice the affectionate contact.
"Listen, Ally, or whatever person took over Ally's body. We need to get out of here. There are people here that will not hesitate to kill us, and put our head on a spear as a spoil of war. Be as quiet as you can," Nikki commanded, ushering the tipsy girl to an exit. Ally got out of his grip, disgusted.
"How can you call yourself a superhero, if you don't face danger like that? You know what? I don't care if you're going to stand by, I'm going to do something," Ally breathed, so she wouldn't be heard. Nikki inhaled her breath by accident and nearly gagged, but he knew the scent well.
"That's why she was being so affectionate," Nikki thought, vaguely relieved. "Ally! You're drunk! What the heck is wrong with you?! You'll be killed! Why did you even buy a drink in the first place?" Niklas hissed, pulling on her arm. Ally pushed him away with a surprising amount of strength and glared at him, with as much poison as Natasha's darts.
"I'm not *hic* drunk! I'm gonna save the day, and you'll look on in awe," Ally snarled, running to a corner of the party chamber. Niklas was about to run after her, but a strong hand clasped his shoulder.
"I know I'm the God of Lies, but I need you to trust me," Loki whispered pleadingly. Niklas rolled his eyes. Did he have much of a choice? Niklas then said a word that Alyssia would have killed him for saying.
"Aw, shit."

The other four remaining PrePowers had managed to meet behind the smoke machine, trying to make a game plan. Well everyone but Alyssia was trying to make a game plan because she was having a panic attack at not being able to find her brother.
"Omigod. They have captured him. I know it. I just fucking know it," Alyssia whimpered, praying to whatever force may be listening that her brother was ok. Kathleen was patting her shoulder, trying to calm her down.
"Hey, it's alright. We can get out of this. We have superpowers," Kathleen tried to reassure. Felicia snorted, unconvinced.
"Yeah, but they're gods. Religious power," she pointed to Ares, who was setting the bar on fire, and then pointed to all of the PrePowers she could see, "Unspecialized power. Gods," Felicia pointed to the unknown goddess, who was throwing electric bolts at the stereo, and then pointed yet again to the PrePowers, "Not gods. Understand? We have to get out of here," Felicia hissed, her cheeks bright red. Bella stared at her, face twisted in a mix of confusion, disgust, and awe.
"You're kidding me, right? You, the most violent, opinionated, independent person on this team, is backing down from a challenge? A challenge that if we don't do something about, everyone here will be killed?" Bella barked quietly, angry that nobody was coming up with a plan to engage the enemy. Soldier glared at Momentum venomously.
"Would you rather live or die? And don't you dare say die to be a fucking smart ass," Felicia growled, failing to see the point of Bella's so-called "motivational speech".
"STOP! I dare you, take a shot, and you'll lose one of your most valuable assets. If he even is under your control yet, that is," another new voice warned. Everyone, including Bella and Felicia went silent, recognizing the new voice. They all cautiously peeked around the corner of the smoke machine. Alyssia nearly screamed and fainted to see that a certain god had captured her younger brother. Niklas was pale, and frankly looked like he was going to piss himself, or faint, or both. Kathleen patted Alyssia's head.
"We'll get him back. I promise. We have, like, superpowers and stuff," Bailey reassured, basically saying the same thing Kathleen said before.
"Ok, we've got three gods now, one of which that is (A.) Supposed to be imprisoned, and (B.) The fucking psychopath that tried to take over the Universe. Perfect. You want to continue trying to make your point, Bella?" Felicia freaked out sarcastically. Before Bella could reply, the counters with all the martini, wine, shot, and margarita glasses and the shelves they were being stored on crashed down on Ares and the mysterious goddess. Then Loki passed out face first on to the hard wood floor. Niklas struggled to get out from under the bewildered god. Meanwhile someone was doing a Snoopy happy dance.
"YEAH! What do you think of that, you bastards!? Brought to your knees by a girl with a cyborg! I bet all your villain colleagues will just LOVE this. I'm so awesome; you should just bow before me right now," a girl boasted. The PrePowers paled, including Niklas who had gotten out from under Loki.
"This was SO not supposed to happen," Niklas thought frantically. He was supposed to be helping Loki , not watching as Ally brought Loki to his knees.
"Is that…?" Kathleen asked. Felicia shook her head rapidly, obviously in denial.
"No way. She wouldn't," Felicia argued, her panic and denial going hand in hand with each other.
"Um, but it, like, totally sounds like her," Bailey argued, utterly oblivious to Felicia's panic.
"Ally? She doesn't have the guts. Of course it's not her," Bella refuted, but inwardly panicking for the girl's well being as well.
"I disagree, I think it sounds a lot like Ally," Alyssia responded, throwing her two cents in. Felicia gulped and looked around the smoke machine again only to see a purple and pink cyborg doing the moon walk in mid-air. Felicia face-palmed and hid back behind the smoke machine.
"Yeah, that's her," Felicia admitted weakly.
"FOOLISH MORTAL!" Ares roared, waving his hand and throwing Ally against the wall. Felicia covered mouth at how brutal that was going to feel, but Ally never hit the wall. Instead her feet hit the wall instead of her body and rebounded back into the air. Immaturely, she retracted her mask and stuck her tongue out at the two gods. The goddess cackled again, her laughter filled with malice and undeniable glee.
"Oh, Allison, I knew you worth messing with! You do have a vengeful spirit, nearly identical to my own! Join me, darling. You will be much happier with us than you would be with the Powers of Pre," the goddess coaxed. Ally stopped, and floated to the ground. She slowly walked towards the goddess.
"No! Go back, Cadet! Go back," Felicia pleaded in a whisper. Instead of bowing before the "Justice" goddess herself, Ally looked up and glared at her through the pink mask.
"You mean to tell me that you were the one fucking talking to me in my head when I was trying to sleep?" Ally asked slowly, trying to wrap her mind around it. The goddess smirked and nodded. "YOU FUCKING TOOK AWAY MY PRECIOUS SLEEPY TIME! NO ONE TAKES AWAY MY SLEEPY TIME!" Ally aimed a beam at the goddess's head, hoping the honey gold and blue streaks on that stupid goddess's head would disintegrate. Then she'd be bald and ugly. Ha. Instead the beam was deflected by Ares' sword, which had seemingly come out of nowhere. It hit Ally square in the chest. The tipsy 14-year-old rammed into the wall behind her, groaning. She was yanked up harshly by Hannah's metal shoulders.
"That was a very unwise decision, Maiden of Iron. You are nothing compared to us. Now how about a fist or two to that pretty little mask of yours to knock some sense into your head?" Ally didn't reply, stubbornly but silently refusing. "Are you even listening?" Finally Alyssia couldn't stand it. Ally was her friend, and Alyssia wasn't going to let that douche bag hurt Ally like he hurt her. Elementia sent a huge wave of water and it rammed Ares against the wall. Auto grinned at Elementia, who was now out and ready for battle. Elementia uneasily smiled back. Auto Matron turned to the wall Ares had slammed into.
"I'm listening," she assured him, smothering her voice with fake innocence. Ally turned around to try and find Loki. Instead Loki grabbed her neck from behind with his forearm.
"Found you," Ally rasped, trying to get air into her lungs.
"Listen to me, and listen well, Maiden of Iron. I'm trying to help you. You have no idea what you're dealing with," Loki hissed, not in anger or warning, but in pure panic.
"Sure I do. Shakespeare in the club? Doth Father know you weareth his armor?" Loki sighed irritably.
"I knew there was a reason you were in the Man of Iron's care. You two are extremely similar," Loki hissed, this time with anger.
"Don't even try and compare me to that bastard."
"I'm trying to save you, you dolt! I-" A giant SWAT shield hit him in the head, his grip on Auto loosening. Felicia was kneeling next to her, glare on Loki turning to glare at her friend.
"Glad you wanted to join the party, Soldier," Auto greeted as if welcoming her to an actual party. Soldier rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, you're just lucky that I can't manage to stay mad at you for long," Soldier snapped. Auto grinned.
"Aw, I love you too!" Soldier face-palmed. Right after the face-palm, a beam blasted her in the side. Soldier yelped as she went down.
"How dare you try to defile me! I'm a god, you insolent brats," Loki hissed.
"Oh yeah, trying to help us, I could see that," Ally snarled. Before Loki could reply, a whine was heard, and Loki looked down to see a German Shepherd with icy blue eyes. The familiar German Shepherd looked up at the God of Lies and Mischief innocently, before squatting and releasing a certain foul smelling liquid from her system, right on to Loki's feet. Both Auto and Soldier crouched down and started to laugh.
"Omigod, K9, you're so awesome," Ally squealed through her laughter.
"K9, sweetie, did you need to go?" Soldier asked in fake sympathy before breaking down in laughter. A force slammed them both against the wall. Both girls groaned.
"Ok, I didn't see that coming," Auto admitted.
"You think?"
~L~I~N~E~B~R~E~A~K~Y~A~Y~~~~~~~
Niklas scouted the perimeter before trying his first attack. His first hit right on target, knocking the goddess right off her perch at the top of the chandelier. His pride ended when a rough calloused familiar hand clasped around his mouth. He struggled and fought against it, but it was just no use. He tried he wave thing again, only to have it hit Auto and Soldier. He hung his head. Soon enough, the other PrePowers had the same fate, even Alyssia. They were all captured and hanging from the ceiling, suspended 20 feet in the air by rope, and upside down.
"That could have gone better," Auto admitted, with no shame in her voice.
"Ally?"
"Yes?"
"Shut up."
Uh oh, what's going to happen to the PrePowers? Where did Loki go? Who is the mystery goddess? Answer what you think in the reviews, and you'll get a another kiss from the Avengers! YAY! First one only this time! I need to be meaner! :D
