Chapter is a little short, but we'll get to more of the action next chapter. So yeah, I also started a new semester and it's been fun (eyeroll). Just got a couple of more then I can hopefully transfer.

I'm just glad I managed to get an update out.

In other news, the Spider-Man far From Home trailer came out, with possible Avengers: End Game spoilers, Black Panther won some awards that it deserved, a couple of trailers for Captain Marvel and Shazam. And a whole lot of theories for what will happen for End Game.

So yeah pretty productive year so far for Marvel and DC. Also if any of you don't know, I happen to like both Marvel and DC, and their movies. And yes I can see the flaws for DC, but they've been fixing them and making them better. But if any of you disagree, then I understand, I'm pretty understanding.

Which is also why I liked The Last Jedi. That's right I said it, and I'm not taking it back. Which reminds me, I really need to update my story Star Wars story 'A Time for Hope'.

But now I think I'm starting to ramble like The Doctor now...

I own none of the content and enjoy.

The Invasion of New York

Tony had made it to Stark Tower in record time, and on a good note, an alien invasion had not yet started, so they all might have some time. He made it to the roof that was connected to landing pad, and found the mind controlled Dr. Selvig working on the device.

"Sir, I took off the Arc Reactor. The device is already self-sustained." Jarvis told Tony.

"Shut it down, Dr. Selvig." Tony ordered.

"It's too late! It can't stop now. He wants to show us something! A new universe." He said.

Tony could see the blue in his eyes, which meant talking wasn't going to work, and he said, "Okay."

He fired one of his Repulsar's at the device. But the energy backfired and created a small shockwave and explosion. Tony was sent back a little, while Selvig was thrown to the ground and knocked out. Tony's sensor's picked up heat and a heartbeat from Selvig, which he was glad for.

"The barrier is pure energy, its unbreakable. The Mark VII is not ready to be deployed." Jarvis said.

"Skip the spinning rims. We're on the clock."

Tony saw Loki near the entrance to the Penthouse, and he was smiling slightly. Tony then landed on the suit gauntlet, and walked while his suit was taken off. After that, he walked into the Penthouse, with Loki waiting for him. Tony inwardly sighed in relief knowing Felicity and Pepper were out of harms way, and not in the building. Cause if Reindeer Games so much as laid a finger on his little girl or girlfriend, then Loki wouldn't be able to walk.

"Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity." Loki said in his usual condescending tone.

Tony wasn't fazed by his attitude and said," Uh, actually I'm planning to threaten you."

Loki chuckled and stated the obvious," You should have left your armor on for that."

"Yeah, it's seen a bit of mileage and you've got the… Glow stick of Destiny. You want a drink?" Tony casually said, as if the situation wasn't bad.

Loki's grin didn't falter and said," Stalling me won't change anything-"

"No, no, no! Threatening!" Stark corrected as he walked behind the bar. "No drink? You sure? I'm having one." He said as he poured a glass.

Loki moved to the window, staring across the city, looking at part of his future kingdom and said," The Chitauri are coming. Nothing will change that. What have I to fear?"

"The Avengers." Tony simply said.

Judging by the blank stare, Tony elaborated by saying," It's what we call ourselves. We're sort of a team. 'Earth's Finest', or 'Earth's Mightiest Hero's' type of thing. Well, the latter sounds better, but you get the point."

"Ah, yes. I've met them. But they are scattered. They cannot stop me." Loki mocked.

Tony reached for something behind the bar and said," Yeah, takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But let's do a head count here, besides yours truly there is: Your brother, the Demi-God, a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend, two super powered aliens, who are close to being invulnerable, one world-renown physicist with breathtaking anger management issues, a couple of Master Assassin's, a few mutants, one with a Spider theme going, another with ice powers and someone who can create explosions. And you, big fella. You've managed to piss off every single one of them."

"That was the plan." Loki smirked.

"Not a great plan." Tony said as he strides towards him and continued," When they come… and they will… they'll come for you."

"I have an army."

"We have a Hulk."

Loki looked unconvinced and said," I thought the beast had wandered off-"

"You're missing the point!" Tony said, getting more serious. "There's no throne. There is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe when your army comes, and maybe it's too much for us but it's all on you. Because if we can't protect the Earth, you can be damned well sure we'll Avenge it!"

Loki's facade of calm was gone, and now his eyes narrowed in anger.

"How will your friends have time for me, when they're so busy fighting you?" Loki spat.

He held the Scepter and reached it out towards Stark heart… and it stopped with a light metallic tap, which was thanks to his Arc Reactor.

Loki's anger was replaced with confusion. He tried again but was greeted with the same result.

"This usually works." Loki murmured.

Tony looked bored and said, "Well performance issues. It's not uncommon. One out of five-"

He didn't get chance to finish his snide remark, due to Loki seizing him by the throat. He launched Tony across the room with ease, and Tony skidded to a halt next to one of the windows. Loki strode over to Tony and grabbed him by the neck and hoisted him off the ground.

"You will all fall before me!" Loki's harsh, hate filled voice said.

"Deploy! Deploy!" Tony wheezed.

Loki tossed Tony, making him fly and crash out the window. And sent falling to the streets below.

Tony was sent into a free fall. A couple of lasers started to hit the bracelet he was wearing. And a pod soon latched onto him and transformed into his Mark VII suit. His boosters activated and he hovered for a second before he could hit the ground, and flew back up. He then hovered back where Loki was and said.

"And there's one other person you pissed off! His name was Phil."

Loki raised the Scepter, ready to fire. But Tony fired first and sent Loki crashing into the ground.

Outside, the Tesseract's energy beam shot out of the machine and into the sky for all of New York to see. The beam then formed a Vortex and opened a Portal. A couple of second later, aliens on Chariots holding Energy Rifles, started to come out of the portal.

"Right. Army." Tony stunned voice said.

Iron Man flew towards the portal. His shoulders opened up and fire multiple rockets, and made their marks and hit some Chitauri. But that didn't stop them, and they soon started to attack the city. They all then started to fire upon anyone in their path with civilians running for their lives. Avoiding blaster fire and explosions.

"Oh Rao."

Kara said in horror as she watched New York being attacked. All three aircraft had made it to the outskirts of Manhattan. It didn't help she had super-hearing and could hear all the screaming, explosions and possible death that was happening. She shut her eyes, and let her hearing be normal. She felt a hand hold hers and looked at Steve, who gave her a reassuring look, and she felt sorta better. And she also felt her stomach do a flip when that happened. But she didn't catch the raised eyebrow from Clark when he what just had happened.

Peter looked at Caitlin, who was looking out the window as well. He held her hand, and gave it a squeeze.

"Don't worry, we'll make sure we stop this soon." He said.

He was worried for everyone he knew, but he knew Aunt May would be playing poker with her friends at her house, M.J and Harry would be at Oscorp, due getting a group text saying she was going to go visit him for lunch. And he also knew Caitlin's mother wasn't in New York, this was due to Caitlin telling him she was out of the country for some Convention that specialized in research for something he forgot about.

"Thanks, although, once Jemma hears about this, she'll yell at me and kill me."

Peter snorted and said," Then she'll go after me."

"Stark, we're heading North-East." Black Widow said.

"What, did you stop for a drive-thru? Swing up Park, I'm gonna lay' em out for you."

"Supergirl, Superman, you guys head out." Steve said.

Both Kryptonians nodded, and the ramp opened up.

"Here we go, well, no turning back." Supergirl said.

"Yeah, c'mon, we got a job to do." Superman said.

Both of them jumped out and started to fly, while Clint made quick work with the Machine Gun against the Chitauri that were following Tony. The both of them did a nose dive and attacked a couple of Chitauri on the ground, and some who were clinging to buildings.

Supergirl was against killing. Sure she would punch hard or fire her Heat Vision at criminals, but would only intend small enough harm where they're incapacitated or knocked out. While for aliens, she would have to go semi-full strength due to them being a lot tougher. But considering the fate of the world on everyone's shoulder's, and a city was starting to become a war zone, she knew she had to go all out.

So she ended up picking up a lamppost and hitting three of them like a baseball. Two Chitauri saw this, and aimed their weapons at her. Supergirl blasted her Heat Vision, which hit one of the weapons and exploded in its hands, which took both of them out.

Supergirl heard a scream and saw a couple about to be attacked, she looked down at a fallen piece of concrete, picked it up and chucked it at the aliens, which hit it's mark and bashed them in the head. The civilians look at her in shock.

"Go! Get to cover!" She yelled and they did.

"Guys, did you find him?" She said into her earpiece.

"Yeah, but the jet has been hit by Loki's Scepter Blast, and we're going down. We could use your or Superman's help." Nat said.

Kara nodded, looked at Clark who was a few feet from her, nodded, which meant he heard and she took off.

It didn't take a genius to know where Stark Tower was, considering it had Tony's last name on the side. But half the letters were gone, which only left 'STA', and Thor and Loki were fighting each other on the balcony. But Kara saw that the Quinjet was in a controlled fall. And she soon got under it, and placed it on the ground. The ramp opened and everyone got out, which included Caitlin already in her Killer Frost form. Thanks to Kara getting them before the jet could crash, and the webs Peter made inside, the only injuries were minor bumps and bruises.

"Thanks, Kara." Steve gratefully said.

Kara grinned and said," Don't mention it."

They soon jogged out and went onto an overpass but had to duck when a lot of Energy Rifle Fire was trying to hit them. But luckily for them, Kara and Clark would take out the soldiers. The one's who avoided them were taken down by the group on the ground.

But they had to stop when a low rumbling was heard. It wasn't an earthquake, but came from the sky. Everyone looked up to see the portal, which was still spewing out attackers, but an ominous shadow started to appear. And what came out was something close to a nightmare.

A giant creature that seemed like a demon, mechanical version of a whale came out. It was huge, but it wasn't as big as the Helicarrier, or in Kara's thoughts, Fort Rozz, but it was still big. That was Kara and everyone else was thinking. It was covered in armor with large spikes on its back, sharp teeth and seemed like it was swimming than flying. Several Chariots flanked it, as if it was a celebrity and they were its entourage.

"Well, I've seen a lot of things on Earth 1, but this takes the cake." Bette muttered.

Steve looked at Bette and said," Do you think you can make it explode?"

Bette shook her head and said," Normally yes, but it's too close to the vicinity of the buildings. Whatever part of it I hit the energy with, it could cause more collateral or worse."

A couple of chains then shot out and latched onto the walls of the buildings. Kara used her vision to see that more soldiers had started jumping into the buildings, and heard the terrified screams and Energy fire. While the Space Whale passed over everyone, who were too shocked to do anything due to its size, and what it looked like closer.

"Stark, are you seeing this?" Cap asked.

"I'm seeing, still working on believing. Where's Banner? Has he shown up yet? Or more importantly, someone who has a version of my armor, but went with a dreary black and grey, and is armed to the tooth?" Tony said.

"Yeah, hate to state the obvious, but he was falling to the ground, last time we saw him." Frost said.

"If your talking about your friend James Rhodes, or how he is known, War Machine, we haven't seen him." Kara said.

"Just keep me posted. JARVIS, find me a soft spot." Tony and cut the transmission as he went to see how to take out the Space Whale.

Kara heard screams and looked down at the other street, and saw a bus full of people. They were trying to get out, but the Chitauri had them locked on.

"Hey guys, we got people trapped." She said.

Everyone flinched when a couple bolts shot near them. And saw a group of Chitauri warriors heading towards them.

"Well, it seems we may have to divide-and-conquer." Frost said, hands becoming misty.

Clint looked at Steve and said," Well, your the one who outranks all of us. What's the plan?"

"Romanov, Barton, Spider-Man, Killer Frost, will help the civilians. Supergirl, Superman, Plastique, and myself will take care of the bad guys over there. Stark, Thor did you hear?" Steve said.

"Aye, I will be there in a few minutes." Thor responded.

"Yep, kinda busy dodging all these aliens, but I can squeeze some time to provide cover." Tony said casually.

Steve looked at everyone else and they nodded and went to do their respective jobs.
