Britta landed down in the middle of the master assassins and Steve. Immediately she started blasting at the Chitauri, disintegrating a few of them but missing others. She looked over at the assassins and nearly got hit by an energy blast she was so shocked. "Nat are you using one of their weapons?!" She shouted over the fighting and exploding things.
"Yep!" Natasha shouted back before blasting back another Chitauri soldier.
Britta looked admiringly at Natasha until Clint caught her eye. They exchanged grins, grins that silently made them best friends for both finding the Black Widow beyond badass. "How you doing Quiver?!" Britta shouted at him, shooting down a Chitauri.
"Never been better Blondie!" Clint shouted back, firing an arrow into a Chitauri's face.
"Blondie?!" Britta shouted.
Clint's laughter was drowned out by the sudden lightning that came down from the sky and fried the Chitauri soldiers in front of them. Thor landed and Britta squealed happily, running over to him. She leapt at him, wrapping her arms around her neck. He groaned but patted her back. "It is good to see you too sister." Thor told her.
Britta grinned and pulled away, noticing the blood on Thor's armor as she did. "What happened?" She asked worriedly.
Thor looked up towards the Tower and his eyes darkened slightly. "Loki stabbed me." He admitted without looking at her.
"What's the news upstairs?" Steve asked, interrupting whatever Britta was about to say in response.
"The power surrounding the cube is impenetrable." Thor told the Captain.
"Thor's right." Tony said over the comm link. He was loud enough for Thor to hear though, thankfully. "We've got to deal with these guys." He said.
Britta nodded, looking around at the flying chariots. "He's right. The Chitauri are doing too much damage for us to focus on the Tesseract." She said, frowning sadly at that. She didn't want the Tesseract to close anymore. The power would weaken and she wouldn't be able to get away with using its energy. Britta shook her head, she shouldn't be thinking like that.
The others looked towards the sky too. "How do we do this?" Natasha asked.
"As a team." Steve said like the leader he was.
"I have unfinished business with Loki." Thor said.
"Yeah?" Clint said, catching Thor's attention. "Well get in line." He said. Britta smirked at that but she couldn't help adding herself to that line. She may have gotten her answer on why he didn't kill her but that didn't mean everything was settled between her and her once friend.
"Save it." Steve said sternly, almost sounding like a dad. Britta and Grid snickered but Nanna stared admiringly at Steve, as if he was the savior of the world. Well...actually...if they pulled this off he would be. Britta groaned at the thought, Nanna wouldn't shut up about Steve for weeks if they managed to save the world. "Loki's gonna keep this fight focused on us and that's what we need. Without him these things could run wild. We got Stark up top, he's gonna need us to-." Steve stopped his little speech when he heard the easily recognizable sound of a motorbike approaching.
Everyone turned and instantly they all saw Bruce riding up on a motorbike. A huge grin appeared on Britta's face and she ran over to him. He had just managed to get off the bike before she crashed into him, her arms wrapping around his neck. "Bruce I was worried!" She told him, hugging him tightly. She placed a kiss on his cheek and pulled away just enough to look at his face. Britta took pleasure in the fact that his arms were wrapped around her waist and she absolutely loved his flushed cheeks. "Where have you been mister?" She asked, giving him a stern look.
Bruce smiled at her. "Well I didn't exactly crash down near here. It takes time to reach a city under attack." He told her. Britta smiled at him and he gently pulled away from her. Britta grabbed his hand and squeezed it before letting him go completely. She smiled and scurried over to Steve's side, grinning like an idiot. Clint and Natasha exchanged looks and Britta stuck her tongue out at them which just made them smirk. "So this all seems horrible." Bruce said, chuckling a little.
"I've seen worse." Natasha commented, eyeing Bruce, which earned her a sharp look from Britta.
Bruce looked at her apologetically. "Sorry." He said sincerely.
"No we could use a little worse." Natasha said, making up for her comment. Bruce nodded a little and Britta grinned at him.
"Stark." Steve said, remembering he was supposed to keep Tony posted. "We got him."
"Banner?" Tony asked in confirmation.
"Just like you said." Steve answered.
"Then tell him to suit up." Tony said. Bruce heard him and smiled, looking over at Britta. She held up a thumbs up, grinning wildly at him. He chuckled at her, shaking his head a little. "I'm bringing the party to you." Tony said.
Tony suddenly flew around the corner and coming right after him was the gigantic freaking space whale. Thor growled slightly and readjusted his grip on Mjolnir. "I-I don't see how that's a party." Natasha said, staring at the space whale.
Britta laughed a bit. "You're right, it looks more like a ball." She said jokingly as the space whale smashed apart buildings. "Hey Tony if you get eaten I'm gonna kill you!" She shouted cheerfully.
"Roger that." Tony said and Britta laughed.
Bruce looked back at them all, catching Britta's eye. He gave her a look, a look that begged her to understand and not get frightened when he did what he had to do. Britta smiled at him, silently telling him that she was fine with him Hulking out. He nodded and started walking towards the space whale.
"Doctor Banner." Steve said, stepping forward. He sounded worried, mostly because he had no clue that Bruce was actually going to do what they needed him to. "Now might be a really good time for you to get angry." Steve said.
Bruce turned around as he walked and smiled. "That's my secret Captain." He said brightly. Bruce stopped and turned around to look at them all, his face serious now. "I'm always angry."
Bruce turned back around and as he did he transformed. He grew, his clothes ripping, and his skin turned green. Britta watched him in admiring amazement and when the Hulk growled, punching the space whale in the face, she grinned. The space whale sent the Hulk skidding back but only a little. The space whale's tail came up and started falling down. Down towards them.
"Hold on." Tony said and fired a missile at the space whale.
Clint dived behind a car and Steve held up his shield in front of himself and Natasha. Thor grabbed Britta's arm and pulled her against his chest, ducking over a bit so he'd get hit instead of her. The missile exploded and bits of it and metal went flying. The fire reached the two Asgardians and they both hissed a bit as they were lightly burnt. Their skin started healing though the second the fire receded and the space whale's tail turned directions, sending it crashing down onto the street below. They all rose up, staring around as the Chitauri roared in fury. The Hulk immediately roared back and Britta grinned at how much louder he was compared to the army.
"Hey Tony." Britta said. Tony turned to look at her and she smiled at him. "You're awesome." She told him sincerely.
"Duly noted." Tony said though she could feel him smiling.
"Oh and big guy." Britta said, turning towards the Hulk. The big green guy looked down at her and she smiled up at him just as lovingly as she would Bruce. "That was amazing." She told him. Hulk grinned, proud of himself.
"Guys." Natasha said, catching all of their attention.
Everyone turned and followed the Black Widow's gaze upwards to the portal. Two more space whales were flying down towards New York and behind them came even more Chitauri soldiers. "Call it Captain." Tony said.
"Alright listen up." Steve said, staring up at their enemy. "Until we can close the portal up there we're gonna use containment. Barton I want you on that roof," he pointed up to a nearby roof, "eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays. Stark, you got perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out you turn it back or turn it to ash." Steve said.
"Wanna give me a lift?" Clint asked, looking over at Tony.
"Right." Tony said, nodding a bit. "Better clench up Legolas." He said. He grabbed the back of Clint's uniform and took off towards the roof.
Britta chuckled and turned to Natasha. "The hawk just flew." She said, grinning. Natasha chuckled and shook her head at Britta's humor.
"Thor, you got to try and bottleneck that portal." Steve said, continuing his orders. Thor nodded and looked up towards the portal again. "Slow them down. You've got the lightning. Light the bastards up." He said. Thor started spinning Mjolnir and seconds later he was flying towards the Empire State Building. Steve turned to Natasha and Britta. He pointed at Natasha. "You and me, we stay here on the ground, keep the fighting here." He told her. Steve looked uncertainly at Britta. "I don't know what you should do. We need someone in the air but we might need you here on the ground too." He said somewhat awkwardly.
"Don't worry about it Cap." Britta said, smiling.
"Yeah, we can do both." Nanna said brightly.
"We'll screw these reptiles up in the sky and on the ground." Grid said, grinning maliciously.
Steve nodded, finding the changing appearance a lot easier to deal with now that he'd been fighting an alien race for a couple of hours. "And Hulk." He said, turning to look at the big guy. Hulk grunted as he looked down at the super soldier. "Smash." Steve told him and the Hulk grinned wildly.
Britta and the Hulk leapt into the air at the same time. He flew straight at the Chitauri on the side of the buildings while she took off towards the chariots. Britta grinned as she heard him smashing things and added her own destruction to the noise. She blasted two Chitauri chariots out of the sky with ease, laughing in exhilaration as she did.
