I don't own any Avengers characters… only my 2 OCs, the story line and the new enemy of course. Sorry it took so long, but here you are…
…..
Charmain smiled at him apologetically, "Sorry." She jumped in between Lumina's horns and held on to them, "There's a reason I got the distinct codename Ryder." She patted the top of Lumina head and whispered to her, "Let's go sis."
Lumina snorted, but stood up and moved her wings up and down, causing everyone near her to shield themselves. She lift up in to the air and heavily flew over to the ships, her body swaying up and down at the movement of her wings.
"You need to get as close to the center as you can!" Charmain yelled and she points to the direction of the ships.
Lumina growled and stopped, maintaining her position. "What is it?" Charmain asked worriedly.
Four ships moved forward, blocking the way and Lumina gave another intimidation growl. Charmain stood up on the back of Lumina's neck and walked to the top of her head, "These guys really don't give up. I mean there is a freakin dragon flyin in front of em." she moved her hands out in front of her, "Guess they still train em all the same."
The ships bagan to fire at them, but it didn't reach the sisters. It only came as close to the front of Lumina's snout.
Charmain sighed sarcastically, "Nobody ever learns, do they?" Lumina chuckled in a ruff, deep, voice and Charmain smirked, "To bad. If they only scrambled, they would've been spared."
Charmain reached out to the ship at her right and swung her arms back to the left with all her strength, letting a growl escape her lips. As she did this, the plane to her right swung with her movement and knocked two others out of the sky. A huge explosion lit the sky in a sun-like glow, engulfing the last ship that was blocking their way. All four ships were extinguished.
"Now go!" Charmain yelled, "I'll stop the bullets from touching us. You just move to center!"
Lumina growled in agreement and made her way toward the cloud of smoke and fire still hovering in the sky.
The enemy's agents were watching the ball of flame in front of them, scared. "Shoot! Shoot!" the one pilot yelled as he saw something emerge through the flames. The dragon made its way through the fire, unscathed, but the woman standing on top of its head wasn't even being touched by it.
When they were at the center of all the madness, Charmain yelled, "Now!" Lumina lowered her head and swung it back up with a great deal of force. Charmain was thrown high above her sister. As soon as she leveled, she snapped her fingers and her hands where covered in the, all too familiar, blue flames. . Purple bolts of electricity surrounded the flames, boosting the 'punch' her attacks will cause, and wind accumulated under her feet, keeping her in the air. She yelled and the flames burst out of her hands, swallowing the planes to her left and right. She slowly began to spin, but quickly picked up speed, covering her entire area around her in flames and electricity, destroying the fleet around them.
Tony watched the sky in awe as it was colored in a magnificent blue-purple light. It was entrancingly beautiful.
Charmain stopped suddenly and all her abilities did the same as she fell back down. Lumina rose and caught Charmain in between her horns.
Charmain sat back down, "Well, there we go." She let out an exhausted sigh, "We really STILL can't fly out in to the open alone, can we? As soon as I left my confortable spot from your neck, I wanted to scream terrifyingly because of the heights."
Lumina gave an angry and disapproving growl. Charmain cocked her eyebrows, "What?" Lumina ignored her, "Is this about me falling back down?" ignoring, "Oh c'mon. I knew you'd catch me. You can't be angry at me for-"
Charmain was cut off by an loud unfamiliar ripping sound. Lumina letting out a sudden pained roar and she began to flap her wings rapidly. Charmain flew up in front of Lumina's face, "What's wrong sis?"
Lumina nodded to behind Charmain, who spun around. One ship, which was unaccounted for, was hovering alone in the air. Charmain furiously flew forward to it and, since he was alone, made quick work of him, but when she turned back around to Lumina…
Lumina was flapping her wings rapidly, but to no prevail. She sped to the ground and was picking up speed, falling to her end. Her form was only half-dragon by this time, but Charmain could see the hole in her sister's wing.
Charmain began to fly to her sister's aid, but was interrupted when a bullet was fired through her arm. She cried out in pain. ANOTHER ship moved up in front of her and she looked below her, where two more were hovering. "Were the hell are all these cockroaches crawling out from!?" she yelled as she fought with the other ships. She was tired and weakened; she needed more training to reach this level without trouble. Her eyes began to water and she felt hopeless, "LUMINA!"
'Lumina', that was all she could hear, somebody calling her name. All her senses were blocked by the pain of her body morphing back, the feeling of wind moving against her and the scent of Charmain's fire… the burning flesh of the enemy. "Am I falling?" she wandered. She could hear the explosions above her distancing even more. "I am falling." She concluded and relaxed her body, "I wander, if I fall from this height, will I actually die…? Seems like a pleasant death, I won't see it coming."
Lumina hear a load roar and felt some crashing in to her, grabbing hold of her. She opened her eyes in shock. Her face was nuzzled in to a bare chest and two strong arms were holding her tightly. Whoever it was, turned so his back was facing the ground, not hers.
"Hulk!?" she yelled, "What do you think-" she was cut off by an angered growl. "Bruce? What an odd time to be in control of the transformation, don't you think?" she hissed, "WAIT!" she yelled again, "This is even worse! What if ya transform back or something before we hit the ground? You'll die!"
She felt them closing in on the ground and tears forming in her eyes, "What were ya thinking? This won't help anyway! A fall is a fall… no matter what, OR WHO, ya fall on!"
Bruce, in the form of Hulk, gave no mind to her complaining and just held her tighter. He could control himself… he and Hulk had a mutual plan and interest. It was like New York, but also different somehow.
Lumina knew he wasn't, or couldn't really, go anywhere, so she nuzzled her face deeper in to his chest.
Charmain crashed exhaustedly on to the deck after she defeated all the ships and saw Hulk catch Lumina, going down with her. She knew she wouldn't have been able to catch Lumina with the distance gained between them, so, Hulk going down too, brought her some comfort.
Everyone ran over to her and Tony, still in the suit, picked her up bridal stile. Seeing as she was in NO position to complain, nor walk, she rested her head on to his chest.
"Will you guys be okay?" Natasha asked Charmain worriedly.
Charmain nodded weakly, "We have made it through pretty gruesome things and healed out of it." She glared at Fury," We will fly down and fetch sis with a ship. You can wait here."
Fury wanted to protest, but Charmain raised her and glared harder, "Say one thing to try and stop me and I promise I won't resist in ripping all your limbs off your body, burning your eyes out and slicing off your 'treasure' as soon as I am healed!" she yelled, but then winced in pain.
"You can let out all your fury out on Fury later." Tony hissed down at Charmain, which made everyone look at him surprised, "But NOW you rest. We will go find the two lovebirds in a while. Don't worry; Brucie will surely take good care of Tilly until we find them."
Charmain looked up at him pleadingly, to go now, but she felt her upper body wobble, so rest her head back down against his chest (or well, his suit's chest plate). Tony grinned victorious and made his way to the medical room.

I have sent messages to all the people I could, saying 'thank you' for their reviews, but I want to thank you all again anyway…. Thank you.
