The jet was almost there, and Steve turned to you. "What should we know before we go in there."
"Well, most of the city is going to get destroyed, I don't think we can get past that. There's these really big alien ships that come in, they honestly look like whales. If we can keep them close to the water, they won't do as much damage when they are destroyed. A.s for Loki, he should be at the tower now, fighting with Thor." You told them. You glanced at Nat then back at Steve. "The portal can be closed with the staff. We need do that as soon as possible, because Shield is going to send a nuke to blow us all up."
Steve's mouth dropped and Clint's head snapped back from the pilot seat to look at you. "We need to stop that from happening." You told them. "Nat you go to the tower as fast as you can, knock Selvig over the head and use the staff to close the portal."
"The rest of us stay on the ground?" Steve asked you. You nodded. "Everyone but Clint. He stays topside for the most part, eyes in the sky and what not."
"Stark did you hear that?" Steve asked. "I got it. Come up Park I'm gonna lay em out for you." You heard Tony say into the jet. Steve handed you a comm for your ear. The jet flew up the street and took out the band of Chitauri Tony had set up for you. You hovered near Stark Tower and spotted Loki. "Son of a bitch." You said. He pointed his staff at the jet. "Get out of the way, get out of the way he's gonna shoot!" You tried to warn Clint, but it had already happened. The jet tilted sideways and you and Steve both grabbed on to whatever you could while Clint tried to land it safely.
The jet crashed into a plaza and you followed Steve out the back, running into the street. You stopped when you heard a roar and looked up to see the giant whale looking thing come out of the portal. "And there it is." You said.
"Stark, are you seeing this?" Steve said into the comms.
"Seeing, still working on believing."
"We need to get them out of the city." You said. You could try to freeze them, but they're so large, it would drain your magic. Steve jumped down to help trapped civilians and you stayed on the bridge with Nat and Clint. You shot ice shards out of your hands, taking out two in the head. Clint glanced at you and smirked. "Well, that's neat." You smiled and ran over to a bus with him, pulling the doors open to help people out. You led them to safety before joining Nat. She looked at Clint out of the corner of her eye. "This is just like Budapest."
"You and I remember Budapest very differently." He told her. You rolled your eyes, throwing another ice shard. "Oh my God, what the hell happened in Budapest?!" You yelled.
"What do you mean?" Clint asked. "You reference it more than once and never say anything about it!" You told him. HE and Nat share a smile. "Maybe we'll tell you someday." She teased. You groaned and ducked as an alien flew by your head.
"Tony, how we doin on getting the whale out of the city?" You asked into your comm.
"Uhh working on it kid, trying to find a weak spot now." He told you. "Tony, get it to the water." You ordered. Steve jumped back into the middle of you, Nat and Clint. Thor landed just after that, giving the status of the cube. Steve started handing out duties and you heard a motorcycle rumble from behind you. It was Bruce.
"Stark, we got him." Steve said.
"Banner? Tell him to suit up, I'm bringing the party to you."
You looked up in the sky and here came Tony, with a trail of Chitauri behind him. "I don't see how that's a party." Nat said. "Tony, you were supposed to get it out of here!" You yelled.
"Well, I didn't really get the chance, sorry kid, this is the best I can do." You sighed and turned to see Bruce change unto the green rage monster, punching the whale right in the face.
You threw up an ice shield to protect the group as pieces of the ship blasted everywhere. Tony landed and you turned to see the Avengers in a circle, and you teared up a little because dammit you swore you heard the Avengers fanfare ringing in your ears. If you weren't in the middle of a war, you'd be jumping up and down at the sight of this.
"Nat, you need to get to the tower now, we can handle this." Steve told her. You pushed at the ground around her feet and sent her up in the sky on a patch of ice, and she caught a Chitauri ship that was going by. Steve turned to the rest of you. "Our priority is containment. Barton, I want you on that roof. Eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays. Stark, you've got the perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out; you turn it back or turn it to ash."
You laughed when Tony called Clint Legolas. You would stay on the ground with Steve, trying to keep them coming at you, while Thor would go up to the portal and try to slow them down. Steve told Hulk to smash, and while you didn't think it was a good idea, mostly because it would cause more damage to the city, keeping him contained next to the team didn't seem like a good idea either.
If Nat could just get to the portal, all of this would be over. "Nat, how are we looking?" You asked. "I'm at the tower now, working my way up."
"Tony, Loki is going to be at the tower, try and hold him off as long as you can. Do whatever you can to subdue him. Banner should come to help you." You told him.
"Roger that kid."
You watched at Thor was able to get one of the giant ships over the water, Tony blowing it up, and it crashing down. Well, that's one less to do damage.
You turned and got knocked over by a Chitauri, grabbing his spear just before it connected with your head. You fought with it, and finally got your hand free, placing it on its chest, freezing it from the inside out. You pushed it off you and it crashed into the ground. You threw up an ice shard into the air, making it connect with a smaller ship, throwing the alien off it and right into Steve's shield. You pulled out your guns at this point, standing back to back with Steve, taking out as many as you can.
You caught a break and turned to Steve, wiping blood from your mouth. "None if this is gonna mean a damn thing Steve, if Nat can't get to that portal."
"I know." You both turned as another wave came at you, and you rolled your neck back and forth, reloading your gun.
"I've got Loki, Banner just came in and literally wiped the floor with him, which by the way, ruined my floor." You laughed. "Puny God." You whispered to yourself.
"I've got Dr. Selvig and I can close the portal!" You heard Nat say.
"Close it!" You and Steve yelled at the same time.
"Wait! The nuke is coming in, I know just where to put it." Dammit. You thought you had enough time. You watched at Tony flew the nuke straight up into the portal. "Come on Tony." You whispered. You waited another minute and you didn't see him, and you heard Steve tell Nat to close it.
Just as the portal closed, Tony fell through it, just like you knew he would, but you still let out a breath you hadn't realized you'd been holding. "He's not slowing down." Thor said, flying up into the air.
"He's gonna be okay." You told Steve. You ran over to where Hulk had landed with Tony and Thor ripped his faceplate off. Hulk roared and Tony's eyes snapped open. "What the hell."
"What just happened. Please tell me nobody kissed me." He said. You laughed. "We won Tony." You told him. He relaxed and put his hands in the air. "Oh, yay! Let's just not come in tomorrow, let's just take a day. Have you ever had Shawarma? There's a Shawarma join about two blocks from here, I don't know what it is, but I wanna try it." Yes, you absolutely wanted to have Shawarma with the Avengers.
Steve came over and wrapped his arms around you. You sighed and hugged him back, thankful that you had stopped it early enough. There had still been a large amount of damage to the city, but not as much as it had before. You counted this as a major win, all things considered.
You headed to the tower with Steve, where you met the rest of the team up in what was left of the penthouse. Loki was still on the floor, and when he came to, he asked for a drink. Hulk growled and kicked him in the leg. "That was for knocking me into a wall jackass."
You all sat around a table in what was left of the Shawarma, after the owners insisting they could fix you food. IT was pretty good you admitted. You had your ankle in Steve's lap, you had sprained it along the way and didn't have the energy to heal it right now. You would get to everyone's injuries when you were done eating. Tony had insisted everyone come straight here once Shield had taken Loki, you were all even suited up still.
You all got back to the tower, getting cleaned up and healed, and went to send off Loki and Thor back to Asgard. You hugged Thor, and he told you that he'd see you soon. "When the elves attack, keep your mother close to you at all times. Protect her Thor." You whispered in his ear. He pulled back and raised his eyebrow at you but nodded and bid you goodbye.
You met Tony and Bruce back by his car, they were going to do science things no doubt. "So, listen kid, I kw you don't have family here or whatever, so I wanted to offer you a place at the Tower." Your mouth hung open. "Tony, that's really not necessary." You tried to argue.
"Oh hush, you don't have a place to live, and you're an Avenger now, so it comes with perks. Seriously though Allison. If it hadn't been for you, today could have gone a lot worse. So, please, just let me give you this. Oh, and this." He said, handing you a brand-new phone.
"Wow, Tony thank you. This is…this is amazing. Can I come by later though? I have some catching up to do with my oldest friend." You said, winking at Steve, who rolled his eyes.
"You still owe me a little tidbit of information. Remember. You promised. No take backsies." He said.
"Really Tony? Take backsies?" You laughed, but hugged him getting close to his ear. "Nanotech. That's all I'm gonna say." He had a wicked grin on his face when you pulled back. He laughed and ruffled your hair, telling you he'd see you later.
You hopped on the back of Steve's bike and put your arms around his middle. "So, what do you say we get some junk food and I introduce you to some amazing twenty first century movies?"
He turned and smiled at you. "Sounds like a plan."
