Romanoff quickly stood up, shoot a few of rounds from her weapon of choice in retaliation while Barton quickly moved forward, still keeping himself hidden. Kagome kept on turning soldiers to ash one by one, continuing to take down those she could while ignoring the looks she was receiving from the others.

"Shoot first, ask later!" she yelled as she ducked to avoid the shot coming her way, more than a little upset that the others were just sitting there.

Her words seemed to jump start them, and Romanoff dismissed the Captain with, "Go, we've got this."

"You think you can hold them off?"

Barton, who had made it safely over to them, was crouched down next to Kagome. He tossed a look of satisfaction at Steve as he pressed a few buttons on his quiver, "Captain, it would be my genuine pleasure."

Kagome eyed his quiver when a mechanical whirring sounded from within, securing a head to the shaft. She offered a smirk when he raised a questioning brow, shaking her head and turned her attention back to the encroaching alien soldiers.

"So, Kagome, was it? How long have you been into archery?"

Releasing another spiritual arrow, she chuckled under her breath. Taking aim, she released another arrow before replying. "An interesting time to start up a casual conversation."

"So are your... arrows."

She raised a brow when one of his arrows hit it's target and released a number of rounds, taking down surrounding soldiers. "Mine aren't the only interesting ones, apparently," she quipped as they began moving forward, heading towards the bus Barton had mentioned.

"His aren't made up of light though." Romanoff quickly disarmed the closest soldier and turned it's weapon against it.

"That they aren't. As for your question however, since I turned fifteen. So a little over a year now." As the aliens got too close for her arrows, she began using the bow as if it was a blade; slashing at them while pushing her powers into the wood and turning them into ash.
