Avengers Assemble
I don't own Avengers or any related content.
Thanks Hollie for pretty much co-writing this with me and giving me some of the best ideas that will go into this fic!
Okay I had more ideas for Iron Man but I got bored so I've skipped straight to Avengers!
So this chapter would probably be set mid-Avengers about when Loki attacks the ship and they're all arguing and yeah, you know the bit I mean!
Thank you for reading and I would love any reviews!
Complicated Possession.
Chapter 3 – Assembled and Acquainted

She was hiding again. She spent a lot of time hiding; her father had upset her with a slight remark that he probably hadn't meant to be that offensive. But she found it offensive and now she was crying quietly to herself. She felt stupid for crying at the age of fifteen years old, but she just wished that he would be a little more considerate of her feelings once in a while. She didn't know many of the others in the team the only one she'd really spoken to was Thor, and that was only because she was a fan girl when it came to Thor.

She had spent a lot of time researching Thor and Loki, she gathered every scrap of information and every story she could possibly find to do with them. When she'd met the both of them she hadn't bothered to hide this fact either, she had almost squealed when Thor spoke to her.

But the rest of them she didn't really know, she knew that her dad liked Banner, but she didn't really care much for him and it scared her how he could lose control. Romanov had annoyed her from when they'd met before and Captain America and her father didn't get along, she'd given up trying to get them to.

She was now crying because she missed Pepper, because she wished she'd known her mother and because her father had snapped at her. She'd found a nice little hiding spot in a corridor, it was a little indent into the wall that she could curl up and slip into without too many people noticing. If anyone did notice then they would never say a word for which she was grateful.

Hugging her knees to her chest she sobbed gently, rocking backwards and forwards and occasionally wiping her cheeks with the back of her sleeve. She'd been there for about twenty minutes and she barely noticed when someone sat down beside her. They sat in silence for a while before Thor spoke to her.

"Your father had no right to speak like that."

She let out a little laugh, "Here on earth, a father has a right to speak to his daughter however he likes. I'm not really fussed…" she lied and he looked at her.

"You know, you are a terrible liar. If you were not fussed then you would not be crying."

"I'm crying for lots of reasons."

"You can confide them in me?"

She met his gaze, "I wish I'd known my mother, I feel like it's my fault she's dead. She died less than two hours after I was born, she died because of Me." she shook her head. "My dad didn't even think that I might want to know more about her and so threw everything he had away. I have nothing."

"Minnie, your mother's death was not your fault. It was simply an accident. I am not from this world and yet I know that."

"People say that, but it doesn't make my beliefs any less true. My mother's death was my fault and my father blames me for it. I just know." She turned away from him and leaned her head against the wall.

Suddenly there was a voice in both their ears, telling them to meet in Banners lab. They walked there together, Minnie occasionally rubbing her hands together. Her palms were starting to burn due to the overuse of the thrusters implants. It hurt but she ignored it. They arrived at the lab and walked in as an argument was ensuing. Minnie walked over to stand beside her father and in his rage at the Captain he snapped at her as she tried to break up their argument. Her fragile ego was unable to take another blow like that so she turned and went to run from the lab, determined to return to her hiding spot. As far as she was concerned the team didn't need her, they could avert whatever crisis they had now without her help. But as she went to run past him, Thor held out an arm and stopped her. He put a protective arm around her shoulders and faced her father with an angry glare amidst the other chaos around them.

"How can you bear to speak to your daughter in that way?" Thor asked him angrily and Minnie put a hand on his chest trying to make him stop.

"Please… don't." she begged them both.

"Hey, space-man, you can't tell me how to treat my kid. She's a big tough girl she can handle it!"

"You should show her a little more respect. She is still a human being!"

"Stop it!" she cried.

"She knows what's going on here, I'm sure she understands." Her father said, brushing it off and before Thor could retaliate they were all turning towards Banner who was holding the sceptre. Thor gently moved his arm in front of Minnie and pushed her behind him. She peered out from behind him, placing a hand on his arm and looking worried as were the rest of them. Something bleeped behind her and she turned to face it, Thor kept in front of her as Banner put down the sceptre and walked past them. He examined the screen for a moment before looking up at all of them.

"My God…" he murmured and the floor blew out from beneath them. She felt Thor's arms around her waist, she was yanked off her feet and she screwed her eyes shut. She felt her back slam into the floor and her head snapped back to join it. Her eyes flew open and lights danced in front of her eyes. She was paralysed with fear; she knew that she needed to get up, that she needed to know where her father was. She heard her own voice speaking and tried to listen, it took a moment but it finally got through.

"Get up…" she murmured to herself, "Get up now!" she was speaking louder and she finally found the strength to sit up, she looked into the lab ahead of her and saw that the floor was completely gone. She could see the Captain and her father across on the other side of the lab. Relieved that he was alright she returned her attention to herself. She felt a hand on her arm, checking her over and she turned to see Thor beside her, looking at her worriedly.

"Are you alright?" he asked and she managed to nod. She could feel that one of her pigtails had come out so she pulled out the other one and allowed her hair to fall free. She ached all over but she completely ignored it, she forced herself to her feet before checking each of her thrusters. The ones in her hands were weak and a little flimsy but they were working but the ones in her feet could barely hold her up. She decided she needed them to rest and so she would aim not to use them anytime soon.

Thor grabbed her hand and together they began to run through the corridors, she couldn't hear anything but she followed along in his wake. She would help in any way she could but her hearing kept coming and going. They arrived in the cargo bay and watched for a moment as the Hulk smashed his way through, Thor rushed forward but Minnie was rooted to the spot with terror. She had hardly any defence and no means of protection; she was basically a defenceless, fifteen year old girl, against a colossal, green monster.

She tested the thrusters in her hands again and found they were a little stronger and so she ran forward to help. She had a little protection from the serum she'd used to power herself. It strengthened her body a little, making it act a little more like her father's suit. But not by much, she only had this small amount of protection and she wasn't sure how much her body could take but she knew it wouldn't be a lot.

She ran forward toward the Hulk as Thor was thrown away and she took aim of the thrusters towards his chest and fired. She kept the stream of light going and it held him back. He tried to push forward but the light kept her at bay. But even now she felt them growing weaker and her body fighting to stop them, her brain was screaming trying to keep it open but it was burning her hands, searing pain scorched through her palms. She screamed out loud now, she knew she was going to give into the pain and stop and the moment she did the Hulk would tear her limb from limb. But she was forced to stop; she crumpled in pain, her scream turning to a whimper as she clutched her hands to her sides. The Hulk advanced towards her in a couple of short strides before raising its enormous hand and striking her hard. His hand covered from her shoulder down to her hip and she felt pain sear through her left side as she went flying, she hit some cargo containers and felt them dent as she hit them. She fell, crumpled to the floor, lying on her right side and staring as the Hulk turned to her to continue to kill her. Her hair was partly covering her face but she watched through it as Thor smashed into the Hulk and the monsters attention returned to him. Once that happened she allowed herself to think about herself, she ached even more all over and wanted to sleep. But she knew she could allow herself to, instead she rolled onto her back, it caused blinding pain but she dampened it down. Telling her brain to repair her body, the serum coursing through her bloodstream and to her hands to heal the burns and also to her ribs to heal them and any other broken bones, and soon, she was just tired and hurting. She gazed up at the ceiling and became aware of how quiet it was and in that one blissful moment she was aware that the Hulk was gone. But that raised the question, where was Thor?
