"Alright, you sit here and stay low. Romanoff and I are going to shut the machine off." Kagome turned to said woman. "Romanoff?"
"I have your back, but make it quick. We can't hold them out for much longer." Natasha was trying as discreetly as possible to take in the girl's features... it couldn't be possible. Could it?
Both of them stood up and made their way to where the machine sat, barrier still in place and Tesseract still behind said barrier. Now that she was looking for them, she was seeing signs of Stark in the girl, no, young woman.
But it didn't make sense. She hadn't been aware of this at all, and there had been nothing in the reports she had read before taking on the job as his assistant back in California. So how...
Her eyes widened when she watched Kagome reach forward, through the barrier and actually take hold of the Tesseract. Shifting slightly, she heard Selvig respond in same. Not only was this girl... possibly... related to Stark, but she also had the ability to create arrows of light that literally ashed the Chitauri, and she could pass through energy barriers like they weren't even there.
Today was really a day of awakening. Her world had expanded to whole new horizons.
"Make the call!"
Shaking out of her thoughts, Natasha did just that. "We can close it! Can anybody hear me? I said, we can shut the portal down!"
"Do it!"
At the Captain's call, Natasha nodded her head towards Kagome. Watching the girl smirk, she concentrated on the cube and began pulling it out of the heart of the machine.
"No wait!"
AN: I did not forget to update yesterday, I was busy visiting with family I hadn't seen for about 10 years. And everyone left to celebrate New Years else where this time and my Step-Dad left for Canada this morning so... all day yesterday was for spending time with family. On that note, I hope you enjoy celebrating the New Year and this chapter! Read, enjoy, and review!
