I awoke yawning at my tired muscles, my stomach grumbled but I know that it's either MRE or nothing but water. I sighed and adjusted my mask, looking down I notice I'm still in my hero suit. To be honest it kinda stinks, I mean I do laundry on a place near campus after all I do keep my secret identity very closely almost paranoid on it.
I feel my stomach kinda empty but I know for a fact that I didn't sleep that much, for a fact I know I slept for about 4 hours because I know what that feels like. I mean what
I know for a fact is that this day will go to hell in a few hours or minutes not really sure, but from what I think will happen is that in a few hours things are about to be hell.
I think that something isn't right; I mean reminiscing back to the last few hours, there is a distance between all these people and I do feel the urge to annoy them. I can't believe it I was being annoying to everyone here not on purpose but I'm doing it.
Yawning I decide that I won't get a lot of sleep and walk to the lab, maybe I can make a way around the arc and make my repulsor shots more narrow or not, maybe the attack will happen in a few minutes.
I walk into the lab to see Tony and doctor Banner looking at the screen which says 'access denied' but Tony begins to tap into the keyboard accessing the files to reveal a few secret projects that look like missiles made from tesseract energy.
"So they are making weapons." Tony says as a statement.
"Pff obviously." I say aloud making my presence known and making doctor Banner jump in fright.
"JESUS! You scared me!" He says alarmed, I chuckle a bit.
"Yes they made weapons with the tesseract." Tony interjected. "You're quite sneaky for being a human. You sure you're part spider? Antlers or more eyes?"
"Nah, that be would be gross. But if you read the file you could be seen that the output for the cube is too high and recording a really low output is ridiculous. Also calibrations made to the energy output and samples are ridiculously specific down to the gigadecimal." I said as I made my way to the nearest seat as I fiddled with my wrist, because if
I'm right, I believe that this is when everyone gets at each other's throats.
Fury walks in with Thor, and a second later Romanoff arrives. "What are you doing, Mister Stark?" Fury arrives with anger in his eyes... eye.
'Huh.' I extend and retract my web shooter making sure it works correctly; I made my web shooter expansion speed increase by just a second, that will make a difference. I slip in my gloves after leaving them during the few hours of sleep.
A slam is heard but I ignore it as everyone here seems on edge as Fury's plan for making weapons is uncovered. "And you! You don't even care. What are you doing here?" Romanoff asks me.
"Well I looked forward for the use of a lab, see these." I pointed at my web shooters. "Free materials, no garbage from these things. Also I deduced they were making weapons. It was obvious, for electrical outputs you write until hexadecimals not gigadecimals. Gigadecimals are for specific outputs." I snorted as I felt a small headache forming and just like that everyone began aiming at each other's throats. 'I feel as if it's something else here.'
My headache increased as what I deduced is my silk sense going crazy, I turned my head to look around. But "You don't even deserve to be here with everyone else, you're just a homeless useless person." I tried to ignore the snap at me from Romanoff. But my headache increase.
"You can kiss my ass. You're not even enhanced! You're just a good shot but not as good as the other traitor." I said as I looked around focusing on sounds around us, making sure that the attack that happens isn't just as much of a surprise as it is.
Everyone stops arguing as everyone looks at Banner "IN CASE YOU NEEDED TO KILL ME. BUT YOU CAN'T, I KNOW, I TRIED!" He runs a hand through his hair. "I got low. I didn't see an end so I put a bullet in my mouth and the other guy spit it out. So I moved on, I focused on helping other people. I was good until you dragged me back into this freak show and put everyone here at risk. You wanna know my secret, Agent Romanoff? You wanna know how I stay calm?" Banner takes the scepter and suddenly everyone tenses up the rooms tension is so thick I can touch it, even I feel tense.
"Doctor Banner put down the scepter." Steve says aloud trying to defuse the situation but
"Got it!" Fury said aloud.
"Sorry, kids. You don't get to see my party trick after all." Doctor Banner exclaimed as he placed the scepter on the
"Located the Tesseract?"
"I can get there faster." Tony makes for the door where I'm standing; I place my leg on the door.
"Look, all of us-"
"The Tesseract belongs on Asgard, no human is a match for it." Thor said aloud in a clear warning. Stark turns to leave and Rogers holds him back.
"Yeah, you're not leaving." I said casually as I give him a light glare.
"You're not going alone!" Tony smacks his hand as he takes another step and looks at me and then at Steve.
"You two gonna stop me?" I snort as he glares at us.
"Put on the suit, let's find out!"
"Or if you want we can put you in your place right now. Not like you can hit me."
"I'm not afraid to hit an old man, or a girl wearing rags." I glared at him.
"Put on the suit." Steve and I say at the same time, but my headache increases.
"Oh my god." With that my head made me groan in pain, as my silk sense went through the roof. 'Shit.' I jumped back just as the explosion hit, I was back enough to avoid
the damage, but I could see everyone dazed. My headache disappeared. 'It was the fucking scepter.'
"We need to fix engine three, Silk go with Stark and Rogers you will be needed there." Fury ordered as he handed me an earpiece, I place it on, and begin following Steve and Stark as I made my way over there I can see that everyone is getting into positions as alarms blare on my ears.
"Get to engine three I'll meet you there." Stark says as he walks towards another door.
"How do we get there?"
"We follow the panic and where everyone is running away from." I answer as we begin running towards the nearest airlock. Steve knocks the door which gives us the signal that we have the clear. A technician opens the door, as another group carries and injured mechanic.
"Stark! We're here!" I can see the damage, thanks to our powers we can breathe with a little bit of problems, but it's bearable. Iron man arrives as he begins flying beside the damaged engine.
"Good, Lets see what we've got." Iron Man says as he places the cooling system back in place.
"I need you to get to that panel and tell me which relays are in overload position." He points as he flies into the engine through a door he removed. Steve looks at me; I grab him by the hip and throw a web line to a nearby piece of metal that I can use to swing.
"Don't scream." I say as I swing the both of us into the panel, Steve is eager and rushes over to the panel and pulls it out. 'Damn, that thing is barely working.'
"What's it look like in there?" Iron man asks as Steve tries to figure out what's happening.
"It seems to work on some form of electricity." Steve says in a confused tone.
"You're not wrong. Silk." He says as I make my way to get a closer look.
"Alright, I can see from the amount of wires, is that from the twelve relays only nine are overloaded. I can reroute power to the others, since they're about to be turned into a fine black goo if they continue to work like this, or we get blown to hell." Steve looks at me with worry.
"Silk I need you to give me at least two thirds of those relays back in working condition." Iron man says as he begins to work on the engine. Steve stands to my side. "What can I help with?"
"I need you to give me six of these things to replace them. They're in a box over there." I point at the box that is in another catwalk just below us.
"Got it." I begin to work as Steve jumps down, as I begin to redirect the flow from the overloaded ones to the other three making sure they work correctly and are not getting turned black.
"Here." He gave me the six replacements.
"Thanks." I began moving deftly replacing the relays. "God, whoever made this circuit deserves to get an award for being so stupid. Who the hell doesn't install a way for the system to not overload? It's like they want this ship to go down." I sigh as I place the panel back in place.
"Full power and a bit of a personal touch there for more power." I say over the comms.
"What's our next move?" Steve adds.
"... I'm going to have to get in there and push." Iron man says as he pauses.
"Well, if that thing gets up to speed, you'll get shredded!" Steve says as he looks around.
"Then stay in the control unit and reverse polarity long enough to disengage maglev and that should allow me to get out in time."
"English!"
"Panel, that wall, red lever."
"Steve, stay there and wait my signal, Silk I need you over here." I got taken aback since we're around 11,000 feet into the air.
"Uhh, I can stick to walls and surfaces, not flying." I yelled out.
"I need you to hold things together." He said annoyed as he ignored me.
"Oh that makes sense." I say as I begin to crawl my way into the engine and made my way to the top.
"Be careful." Cap says as I reach only to see Iron man pull out a huge metal spike that is embedded in the engine.
Iron man nods at me as he begins to fly. "Go!" He begins to push the piece of engine that was about to fall. "Cap be ready for my signal." But just as he began to go faster, but the ship destabilized. I begin to hold things together using my web but we begin to lose altitude, and the weight of the entire engine began to weigh a lot
"Cap the lever!" I struggle to keep hold of the engine I only need a little more webs as Iron Man begins to speed up.
"Need a minute!"
"We don't have one!" I say as I throw web balls onto the rotors to hold together the engine as I use as much web as I can I make my way out of the open air as it is getting harder to see.
I rush into where Steve is and jump launching myself into the fray dodging bullets and launching a line to sling myself towards the mercenaries, landing in front of them beside the door and jumped into the shard embedded in the wall.
"Shoot her!" I jump towards the ceiling and to the wall jumping along the way avoiding the bullets and get a shot into his googles as well as the other mercenaries behind him, and gave me an opening for taking them down. In swift punches I punch them knocking them down and webbing them up using the web shooters.
My Silk sense goes off as I duck down in a matrix like style only for Iron Man to tackle him into the ground knocking him out. "Thanks." I say as I take a seat.
"I feel like my hair has been through a giant hair dryer and am even more stylized than in previous years and that says a lot about me." I say as I stand up and throw a hand over to Tony, which he reluctantly takes, he then removes his helmet.
"Agent Coulson is down." Fury says over the comms.
"A medical team is on its way to your location." Someone else says over the comms.
"They're here." Tony and Cap stand together by the engine, quietly listening deathly still.
"They called it." Fury finishes, we looked at each other, and Steve has a sad and haunting look in his eyes. While Tony looks like he can't grasp the situation.
I feel a pang in my chest and my eyes water, we weren't friends, he wasn't my superior but even though I know he's alive, I know that I will never see him again. We can't look at each other in the eyes. I may not have spoken to him in person but I did spoke to him over the phone every 2 days.
'I know he didn't die... but it's what we need for them to be united.'
I walked over to the bridge while the other went other ways; I know Tony will get his suit off him. Walking over to the bridge I can see Hill with a sad look on her face.
"Hey... how you holding up?"
"I'm... dealing with it." I sigh as I take a seat beside her.
"Sorry I wasn't there for you, I had..."
"You saved everyone here, well-" I interrupt her after all I didn't do much.
"They saved everyone here." I look around to see agents moving around running diagnostics and other being treated.
"You helped." She said as she looked straight at my eyes.
"They're the team, I'm just a passenger they will stop him." I say in a saddened tone. "I don't fit with them, they're legends, I'm just a girl that got powers by chance...
they're people with amazing opportunities and abilities. I-I'm just an orphan from nowhere."
"You're wrong they're legends but just like you, you have saved thousands of lives, reduced crime rate and... You're not a nobody. You're someone, everyone is." I sighed as I reclined back and rested my head on her shoulders.
"I may be someone but I... think I need to be somewhere else. I have to talk to widow." I stood up as I began to ponder why I'm here, a question I have made myself over the last fifteen years, and the answer is always the same. I am sure that if I said that answer out loud people would react badly to that, I make sure to hide it well nobody notices it, but it's not like I hide it away or talk to anyone.
Looking through the door in the med wing I can see the red locks of widow. I knock on the door softly and open it, Widow looks conflicted her eyes show doubt, she's not sure what she'll do, it's odd that she has that face she's always so stoic.
"What?" Her voice is sharp and just like that all her emotions are gone and locked up.
"I came here to say... sorry." I say honestly after all I was a bitch to her. "I acted like a bitch and a pain in the ass, but it's big and I'm sure I'm not that much of a pain in yours." She rolls her eyes.
"Yours is just as big." I looked behind me to my butt. 'It's not that big.'
"I'm just teasing you." She said in a flat tone, I smiled behind my mask. 'It's weird having a mask on for so long now that I think about it.'
"I want us to bury the hatchet? The throwing knife? The gun... bullet?"
"I suppose we can place things behind us and move on."
"It's what we have to do and work together... so no more of that passive aggressiveness, or well aggressiveness?"
"Sure." I extended my hand over to her.
"We can be friends, I think."
"We can be accuentaincess." She replied immediately. I felt a little pang in my chest. 'I know we can't be friends but, why does it still hurt? Things to worry about later.'
"Get to the bridge." We heard Steve's voice from the comms; I looked over to her, her gaze fell on Barton.
"I'll go, you can stay here." She nodded and I made my way over to the bridge once again. Steve, Tony, and Fury are gathered at a table, while Hill stands to the side. Fury pulls a handful of cards from his pocket.
"These were in Phil Coulson's jacket. Guess he never did get you to sign them." Fury threw them on the table. Some are wet with blood and the table gets stained.
"We're dead in the air up here. Our communications, location of the cube, Banner, Thor. I got nothing for you. Lost my one good eye. Think I had that coming." Fury begins to make his way around the table to Steve and Tony as I take a seat near them.
"Yes, we were going to build an arsenal with the Tesseract. I never put all my chips on that number, though, because I was playing something even riskier. There was an idea; Stark knows this, called the Avengers Initiative. Fury reaches a chair between Tony and Steve
"The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, see if they could become something more. See if they could work together when we needed them to, to fight the battles that we never could. Phil Coulson died still believing in that idea, in heroes. Tony stands and walks out. "Well, it's an old fashioned notion." Steve walks after him.
"So we gonna talk now?" I ask as I turn towards him.
"Why didn't you tell me anything?"
"About what? Me living on the streets or the fact that I live in misery?"
"Both... I worry about you."
"You worry because I am powerful enough to lift a bus over my head like it's nothing; you want to keep me close to you. I'm sure that if you knew about me when I was on the orphanage with my powers you would've sent some government agents to get me and either lock me in a cell or become part of your suberfutige crew."
"I would've-"
"You know I'm right." He sighed loudly.
"Fine, yes if IF I would've known about you I would've taken you in in a heartbeat. But, I would've asked what you wanted to do. But right now that doesn't matter, get ready to go after Loki."
"How are you so sure I'm going, I'm nobody, as I've said before they're legends... I'm just someone from nowhere." I replied as nonchalantly as I could.
"You have to go." He said as his gaze landed on the door.
"Silk! Time to go!" Steve's voice sounded in the bridge making my body jump in fright as if ready to help.
"Sup, you moving out? Good luck." I say as I take my seat placing my feet on the other chair.
"What are you talking about? We're The Avengers and you're part of the team." Steve... no Captain America said in a commanding voice, he doesn't know it but he just made me a public figure. I can't help but obey his orders.
"Alright." I said as I got up and looked straight at Fury while following Cap.
"Suit up, meet us near the hangar bay." He said as he walks away, from what I assume is his gear and the rest of us.
Walking into the lab to see tony finishing his touches on his helmet. Launching web at the cameras in the room, I walk straight to the table holding chemicals and just as I've done a few hundred times I make my webs making sure to do three bottles from which I use half of one to refill my web shooters, I have to make the cartridges but I don't have enough tech or materials to do.
"Ready." Tony says as he takes the helmet and places it on and looks at me as I finish refilling my web shooters; I nod my head towards him.
"Let's go." I say with as much courage as I can, we're about to fight for our lives and I'm nervous, my heart is bouncing in my chest, and I'm ready to go.
I wait by the hangar bay door my equipment ready as well as the two bottles of web that are make shift bombs they will help in some way during the fight. I see Cap walking beside him is Hawkeye and Black Widow, I join them walking beside Widow to the nearest Quinjet which I learned the name a few minutes ago from mechanics talking about them.
"You guys are not allowed in here." A tech who's looking into a tablet says aloud.
"Son, just don't" Cap sighs.
"He outranks you, so get out." I say and he shrinks down and leaves the Quinjet.
"Everyone strap in we leave in twenty." Hawkeye takes the pilot and Widow the Copilot.
I look behind us to see Iron Man walk towards us the armor is banged up to hell but it should fly, he nods towards us as the hangar door closes. Cap looks at me reassuring my doubts on the upcoming battle.
I strap in in the same spot I've taken over the last day.
"I'm moving ahead, follow me, we stay on the same frequency I set up your comms for that." Iron Man says over the comms as we take off behind him.
"Copy that, we're right behind you." Hawkeye says over the comms and Iron man speeds up.
"I'm going ahead need to get my Sunday best." Iron man says as he disappears into the clouds.
We reach New York from the sea and the comms return from the radio silence from Iron man.
"What, did you stop for drive-thru? Swing that park, I'm gonna lay 'em out for you." He says as he begins gives us a location. Steve gets up from his seat I follow suit. The
Quinjet begins shooting I can see some Chitauri get blown to hell.
The Quinjet comes around a building, blasting the army who are firing at them. But Widow gets rid of them, until we reach the top of the Stark tower where Thor and Loki are fighting, only for Thor to get head-butted and thrown back. Loki just lifts his scepter and shoots at the rotor blades.
"Oh come on." I say aloud as we begin to lose control, I grab the nearest arm rest and stick myself to the floor as we begin a descent into the ground while cap is just hanging barely, we end up imbedded into the cement on the street, both spies just remove their seatbelts like that just didn't happen.
"So... I'm never getting on a plane with you guys." Hawkeye pushes the button to open the door, the screams of civilians and police sirens fill our ears as we run outside.
"We gotta get back up there." Cap orders as we take the bridge in front of the city hall, all three of us stop as a roar sounds from above and only for one of those things that carry more Chitauri flies in destroying a part of a building and flies above us releasing Chitauri.
"Stark you seeing this?" Cap says over the comms, but the units just keep coming. I'm itching to just jump and start punching those things. I tune them out as I launch a web line to stop one of those things from shooting a man in a suit at point blank. I pull him and with as much strength as I can I punch him breaking his neck and ripping off his jaw.
"Get to the subways, avoid streets."
"You got this here?" Cap says as he jumps over the bridge using his shield as a cover and killing Chitauri using his shield.
"I'm covering the skies; I'll save as many as I can." I say over the comms as I begin to run as fast as I can and jump into the nearest building sticking my feet to the walls and take off running as fast as I can.
As one Chitauri soldiers was about to shoot a group of civilians I move fast and punch him denting his helmet making him slump down to the ground I shot a web at the face of another one, ducking low from a shot I charge up my blasters and place a shot in his chest making a hole and aim at the other one who just ripped off the web from its face just in time for a shot from my blaster to the head.
I look around to see if there are more Chitauri, I reach over to see a man lying down while other people make themselves known by standing up. I reach over to him and flip him around placing him lying on his back. I put my fingers on his neck to feel a pulse.
"He's alive help him get out of here." I say aloud making everyone nod.
"T-t-thank y-you." A woman formally dressed reaches over to me and three help to carry the man out of here. I place a hand on her shoulder.
"It's okay, we will get through this. Everyone! Get to the subway and move as a group. Here." I give one staff to the guy standing in the corner, pull the trigger and aim at the aliens. The rest, I'll cover your exit." I yell out as I jump out the window and land on top of another Chitauri making work of my blasters to shoot them getting headshots.
I can see Cap still running through the street while plasma beams rain down around him and near civilians. I begin to swing myself onto the street shooting at Chitauri that come near civilians.
As a bus blows up I see cap jump up I come in and take his hand as I swing by. "Need a hand?" I drop him off in front of the cops as I begin to work on lifting wreckage from people trapped, as well as launching webs onto the sky.
"Silk! Get to the building on the right clear the entrance." He said as I jump away shooting blasts at more the Chitauri on the street, I rush in and dispatch the Chitauri fast and effectively.
"Get to the police, and off the streets!" I announce as I run back outside to see Cap running I swing myself gaining altitude he jumps extending his hand, I grab it and we're back in the street, just below Stark Tower Cap uses the momentum to crash into the Chitauri advancing on Hawkeye and Widow.
Just as we continue fighting I can see the increase in numbers, I keep launching webs throwing debris at them slowing them down as I kill one after the other, as soon as more advance towards us. Only for lighting to fall down on them and killing them not a second later Thor lands clutching his side.
"What's the story upstairs?" Cap asks as he lowers his shield, I walk towards Thor and shoot a web at his side.
"That should help you." I say with a smile, he nods at me as he moves his arm around.
"The power surrounding the cube is impenetrable." Thor turns towards us expecting an order.
"Thor is right; we gotta deal with these guys." Stark announces over the comms as explosions sound around him.
"How do we do this?" Widow asks as she holds he gun.
"As a team." Cap says with confidence that I wish to have one day.
"I have unfinished business with Loki." Thor is clearly pissed.
"Oh yeah! Get in line." Hawkeye prepares an arrow.
"Save it. 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." He stops mid-sentence as we hear a motor of an old scooter where Banner is just arriving. We walk over and Banner dismounts, while looking around.
"So, this all seems horrible." Doctor Banner keeps looking around as explosions sound around us.
"I've seen worse." Widow remarks with a bit of snark.
"Sorry." His gaze goes to the floor but after a second looks straight towards us.
"No, we could- use a little worse." Widow looks dare I say bashful. 'So she did develop a crush on Banner.'
"Stark, we got him." Caps voice sounded over the comms.
"Banner?"
"Just like you said."
"Then tell him to suit up. I'm bringing the party to you." Iron Man flies around a corner and towards the group, followed closely by the same giant thing that flew over us.
"I-I don't see how that's a party." Widow is wide eyed. Iron Man draws the creature low and it skims the road.
"Banner turns and begins to walk away, towards the Leviathan."
"Doctor Banner now might be a really good time for you to get angry."
"That's my secret, Cap. I'm always angry." With a roar of anger, he slams his newly transformed fist into the gaping maw of the beast, nearly stopping it completely. Punching it a few more times, the behemoth flips over completely.
"Hold on!" Iron Man flies over and shoots what I can tell is an anti-tank rocket and imbedded itself in flesh
"Call it Captain." He says as he hovers over us.
"All right, listen up. Until we can close that portal, our priority is containment. Barton, I want you on that roof. Eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays. Stark, you got the perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back or you turn it to ash. Silk gets civilians to safety and block streets and intersections in the sky hinder their movement using your webs." He says as he points at the members mentioned.
"Can you give me a lift?" Hawkeye asks Stark as I begin to place web lines as wires among buildings.
"Right. Better clench up, Legolas." Stark replies.
"Thor, you got to try and bottleneck that portal. Slow them down. You got the lightning. Light the bastards up." He orders, he turns to Widow. "You and me, we stay here on the ground. We keep the fighting here. And Hulk... Smash."
"Copy that Captain America." I said as I take a look around analysing for where could civilians be a run using my speed and strength in my legs to jump and gain an altitude of four stories up and begin to swing around. I use my web to pull myself and angle my body so that I'm spinning avoiding shots that would've taken my head. I can feel everything slow down as I shoot a web line at the face of the Chitauri driving the sleigh like thing. He claws at his face as he speeds past me I pull the web line making his head snap in my direction, the web line does catch another Chitauri sleigh thing making a crunching noise as the second drivers neck cracks making both sleighs to crash and blow up.
"That's that." I say as I begin to make more lines like that, taking out a few along the way that aren't able to see the web lines.
"Iron Man, Silk, they can't bank worth a damn. Find a tight corner." Following my own, or technically Hawkeye's advice, I do just that and cause several of them to crash into a building.
"Roger that. Hey! It worked. What else you got?" Stark replied.
"Silk I got a read on a distress call, two blocks down, Chitauri are holding people inside the bank on forty second." Iron Man said over the comms.
"On my way!" I swing in and crash through the window kicking the head of the Chitauri aiming at the civilians that were rounded up. I take aim with my blaster and shoot at the head of a Chitauri that smacked a woman pushing her down.
"Hey! Over here!" Every Chitauri turned to me as I shot at the same Chitauri blowing his head up making a hole. Everyone became silent as the Chitauri took aim at me. I jumped out of reflex as the shots almost hit me, I axe kicked the head of one making a dent in his head. I jumped again using my webs and catching the ceiling swinging to the other side as he took out a device that looks oddly like a C4.
But before he could do anything and made a shot at his head, he dropped dead with a hole in his head but out of his hand fell a grenade. I could hear Iron Man flying outside as he passed.
"Oh crap." I threw a web line and made sure to throw it out the window, as it went through the glass I shot at it out of the air making a big explosion followed by other crashes.
"Thanks Silk."
"No problem." I said as I walked over the edge to see the civilians but my silk sense warned me of danger. "Behind you." I could hear a kid yell out. I ducked from a swipe and as he tried to stab me with his bayonet I grab it and ripped it from him before I took a shot at his chest followed by a kick that sent him through a wall.
I could hear a cheer behind me; I looked over to the civilians. "Is everyone here safe?" I yelled out, I jumped down and people moved out of the way. "He's hurt, as well as her." A man that has the clothes of a nurse said aloud as both people were clearly in pain. "I have no way for treatment, the wounds need pressure." I knelt down.
"I will use my webs to close the wound. It should help to keep the pressure as well as the wound closed." I shot web at the wounds using my web shooters.
"There. Everyone I will cover you, police should be arriving soon. I will keep you safe." I said with determination I jumped to the window I entered before, I heard clapping behind me, I had a smile on my face as I swung myself out the building.
I land over the main street as Iron man flew in and shot at Caps shield making his repulsor blasts bounce off and shoot into the rest of the Chitauri around him, taking them down.
I jump over Iron Man as he acts as a jump board for me I shoot at a Chitauri behind cap as well as a few on the roof near Hawkeye. "Cap! Shield!" I yell out as five land around me. I shoot the web line at it and pull hitting a Chitauri in the face followed by a "Clang". I pull to the side and spin taking the rest out. Before I launch it back at Cap the web fell out as he caught it.
I hear another screech I nod at cap as once again I'm swinging looking for the giant thing in the sky. "I can see it; it's making its way towards the hospital on sixth! I'm going to catch it attention. Get to me when available!" I take out the bottle of web and shake it in my hand.
I land on its sharp teethed mouth and punch at it with my hand as hard as I can breaking the entire front of its teeth. 'I hate this.' I punch again breaking his nose or what looks like a nose. And drop the bottle in its mouth but it just got angrier as it thrashed.
'Guess I have to use the other one.'
"I can take it down!" I yelled over the comms as an idea got to me. I jumped and landed on its head by throwing a web line and shot a blast shot as long as I could, after fifteen seconds the beast was now screeching in pain, I punch making a dent in the armor and flesh as the smell filled my nose I punched earning me a sting in my hand but I dropped the second bottle into his brain which now has an open way for air. I shoot the bottle and jump out of the way landing on the side of the building. The beast falls limp on top of a building. I make my way to the top of the
"Well done Lady of Silk." Thor lands beside me. "Thanks I just need a few seconds." I say but he just nods at me and flies away. I catch my breath. 'God this is tiring.' I look to see that both reactors are useless, and my right web shooter is busted due to the reactors energy, also both cartridges are empty.
"Silk I need help over here." Hawkeye said as I made my way towards him,
"Guys, we need to end this quickly, I'm running out of web." I jump off the building swinging myself and make my way over, only to see Hawkeye jumping. " I swing myself towards him and catch him, we swing down just enough for Hawkeye to kick a Chitauri in the head killing him, and he let go only to land on top of a Chitauri's head and back riding him like a surfboard, which ended with him in the ground beside cap.
"Thanks." I heard in the comms. I swing over only to see the hospital that is near get a broken window and a Chitauri enter, it followed by a child screaming. "I'm moving in to the hospital, it's under attack." I said as I swung using my natural web since I have busted both web shooters and arc reactors. I looked closely to see a little girl that is connected to the tubes with a transparent liquid on a bed cowering from the Chitauri that just entered. I crashed through the window with both feet first but I was late to take the girl to safety my silk sense went crazy as I stood on front of the girl and received the blaster like a champ which sent me into the wall, I stuck myself and looked over to the Chitauri he was ready to shoot again but this time I moved.
Launching myself at him I punched him in the face as hard as I could sending it through the wall. I looked to the window to see another one entering through the window which made the girl scream, I webbed the pole which had the transparent liquid and smacked its face only to daze him, which gave me the opportunity to punch him in the face sending him flying and into another of those flying bike things. I webbed the window so no more could enter through there.
"Ouch." I said as I took a step, I touched my side to feel the damage, I could see my suit got a hole as well as blood on my fingers.
"Are you okay?" The little girl said in a scared voice, which reminded me to just smile and make her not worry, heroes can't seem weak and less in front of children.
"Yes, I'm super strong, so this is a scratch." I said in a nonchalant voice, which made the girl smile.
"That's amazing!"
"Come on kid, time to go. I'll keep you safe." I said as I took her and the metal tube that is connected to her, and placed the girl in my arms. I ran to the stairs looking to my sides looking for a doctor but there is no one on this floor, I arrived to the stairs and looking I could see light and a lab coat at the bottom. '6 F' "Alright six floors." I jumped in the middle the girl yelled in what I assume is fright but I landed on the fourth floor rail, I repeated the process and landed on the second, followed by landing on the first floor where the lab coat was.
A doctor jumped in fright he held a pristine metal that looked like a piece from the one I am carrying. "Doctor this girl, make sure she's safe." I handed the girl to him.
"T-thank y-yo-you!" The doctor said as he took the girl. I ran to the exit to the mayhem and see a bakery get its glass shattered by two Chitauri jumping in and begin shooting. I ran and jumped calculating to enter through the window landing between them I just kicked the head of one which turned into another direction that didn't seem natural.
The baker a man that seems scared is just standing there with his eyes wide opened, I feel my Silk sense go crazy but I'm standing between the baker and the laser. I turned around and received the other laser. 'FUCK.' I groaned as I shot a web at the face of the Chitauri and smacked it with a nearby metal plate for what I assume is bread, followed by a punch that broke his face.
"That one hurt." I said as I began shooting web at the window for cover.
"Sir, stay here. I'm going to block off the entrance you get out the back door to the police or military." I said, he just nodded and walked to the back. I came out once again;
it feels like a fifteen minutes have passed. Jumping onto the building and made it to the third floor and swung myself towards the city hall only to get shot by one of those bike things in the back. I crashed near Thor and Cap as Cap was standing up.
"So anybody know what our medical insurance policy is? Because I sure as hell want to sue our contractor." That brought a smile to Cap's face, Thor looks more confused.
"Round three?"
"Round three." I confirmed as more Chitauri kept coming I received a punch to the face, which I retaliated by webbing him and began using it to hit other with it. I launched him as the enemies died down a bit.
"Guys. We can close it. We can close the portal down. Does anyone copy?" Widow asks over the comms.
"Do it!" Cap orders as he holds his hand to his ear.
"No, Wait!" Iron Man almost yells over the coms.
"Stark, these things are still coming." Cap says as I receive another blast to the back. 'Damn my silk sense is getting duller and I'm getting more tired.
"I got a nuke coming 's gonna blow in less than a minute. And I know just where to put it." Iron man announces over the comms, I walk towards Thor, Cap and Hawkeye holding my side. Not even ten seconds pass when Iron Man flies over us with a nuke on top of him, he flies it over to the Stark Tower and into the portal.
Tense seconds pass as the silence becomes deafening, only for a faraway BOOM breaks it off. But no Iron Man, I know he's falling, coming this way. I jump upwards. "Close it." I hear it over the comms as I watch closely focusing on the shape of Iron Man.
The portal closes as if it was never there, but the shape of Iron Man begins to free fall. I calculate and begin using as much of the web as I have left I run out, Hulk appeared and tackled Iron man out of the way and soon crashed into the web and even broke the web out of the concrete but the landing was graceful.
I reclined myself as I hear the yell of Hulk and make my way down, the entire Chitauri already fell to the ground like puppets.
"We won." Steve said as he relaxed, I landed beside them and saw the hulk looking straight at me. Not knowing what to do I raised my fist in a fist bump. Only for Hulk to just smirk in a snort and fist bump me, I adjusted my mask and sighed in relief.
"All right, yay! Hurray. Good job, guys. Let's just not come in tomorrow. Let's just take a day. Have you ever tried shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I want to try it." Tony said as he was lying down.
"We're not finished yet." Thor says in a relieved tone of voice.
"And then shawarma after." Tony finishes. "Umm, Silk, a little help here?" I stop gawking and at the busted up armor.
After restarting his arc reactor and easily booting up a few systems Iron man could move again in his suit. "Alright, that should get you and someone else to the top part of the building flying not more not less." I said as I closed up the chest piece.
"Good." He said as he offered a hand but Steve took it, I touched Hulk's arm and climbed onto his back.
"I need a ride." I said, he just snorted as I stuck myself to him. Everyone took off to the top of the tower where Loki was. Hawkeye took Thor's hand and we were off.
Everyone landed on the top where the A was the only thing there.
We arrive to see Loki slowly getting up and he looks beaten the F up. "If it's all the same to you, I'll have that drink now." He said as he looked towards us in surrender, everyone had their weapon in hand.
In I think thirty minutes S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents arrived and took Loki, the scepter and I had my wounds treated. Even Hill came to me and even returned me my phone and wished me a happy birthday, but had to leave after Loki was secured as well as the scepter.
I shoot him the last webs I had I actually came out empty as I fired the last one. "So that happened." I said aloud as Loki just narrowed his eyes at me. Loki is now with cuffs and webs just bind his hands.
"What is with that?" Tony said as the last piece of his armor came off, and Dr. Banner made himself scarce to find clothes.
"Well since I ran out of web fluid I used the last of my natural webbing." I said as I wiggled my fingers.
"How do you get web... made?" Steve asked.
"Eating, and Yesterday I only ate once and a billionaire just invited us to some thing called Shwarma... whatever that is." I said as I motioned to go.
"Let's go." Tony said as he made his way to the elevator now that agents took Loki into custody to get sent to Asgard once again.
We arrived to the small store and Tony yelled out his order, the entire establishment only had a few pieces of rubble and glass lying around. The cook looked surprised to say the least. But after a full minute of gawking. I ordered as much food as I could eat, Thor did the same.
"So we just saved New York..."
"Yes, we just did. Nice job everyone." Cap reassured.
"It's been a long time since I ran out of arrows." Hawkeye said in a serious tone.
"Come on, it's been what four months?" Natasha just teased. "Oh right, Silk-"
"Cindy... Cindy Moon." I said just enough for everyone in the table to hear.
"Anyway Cindy, happy birthday!" Natasha wished me happy birthday, she said in a cheerful tone.
"No way, is our little vigilante eighteen?" Barton said in chuckle.
"I didn't get you anything." Steve said almost apologetically.
"It's okay, I never receive anything. But it's been the first time someone remembers." I felt tired but emotional as well, it's been 14 years since I got a happy birthday. We didn't celebrate them in the orphanage; I cursed my birthday with hate after all it was the day my life on that hell started.
"Well, I will give you something, later, happy birthday."
"Thank you Mister Stark." I replied.
"Tony, Mister Stark was my dad."
"Happy Birthday Miss Moon."
"Thanks Doctor Banner."
"Bruce." He said with a small smile.
"So Widow." I was about to ask but her eyes told me I said the incorrect thing. "Natasha right?" She nodded.
"Alright so Natasha, how did you get up the tower?" I said in curiosity, which made her smirk. "Because I don't remember you flying." And with that we began talking about what everyone did. Obviously Tony boasted of carrying a nuke into the hole and what he saw. I told my story of how I took down what I learned is called a Leviathan.
Soon after we were on first name basis and joking around as we began eating. I lowered my mask and the food kept arriving as Thor and I kept eating.
"You mortals and your food, it's so full of fat."
"And it's delicious." I said as I finished the Falafel of lamb, which was after the fourth Shwarma of turkey. "Thanks for the food, it was amazing." I said to the cook, which earned me a smile. I suddenly felt muted, as if the world trunked grey, my eyes dropped as I realized what just happened.
I felt my wounds sting but I know that in a few hours I will be healing as well as alone once again. I once again feel that despair that has been plaguing me for the last few months. Not having a home is not easy; it's hard actually not having something to call your own.
But I quickly put on the same face hoping I didn't caught the attention of anyone. I passed my eyes quickly to see no one staring at me. I failed to notice a subtle movement from Natasha to Barton as well as their wordless conversation.
"It's time we leave." Cap said as he got up, everyone followed, I setup my mask and adjusted it.
"Wait! Can we get a picture?" I heard from the waitress and the cook who was holding a camera.
"Sure." Cap said, he was motioned to the wall that had the logo of the restaurant. Everyone followed, Steve held his shield in front of him, Tony stood beside him his hands in his pockets, Clint crossed his arms and shot a smirk at the camera, Natasha pulled her bitch face that isn't bother by anything, Bruce just stood there awkwardly, Thor smiled as he held his hammer, I was urged to get in the picture as I was reluctant.
"Wait, can you get a picture for me?" I gave her my phone with the camera noticing it has 10% of the charge, it's a cheap camera but for a group picture it should be enough.
I was pulled by Steve; I stood beside Bruce and Thor and forced myself to smile as I stood in a relaxed pose. She took a few pictures and we were on our way.
Everyone went to the tower to see what we were to do. Turns out we had to be later that day on central park for Thor's departure as well as Loki's.
I got provided with a few clothes that were from Pepper Potts. 'Holy crap these are expensive.' I am wearing casual pants that seem too formal, as well as a button up grey shirt, as well as my sneakers and my scarf.
I take a ride with Tony and Bruce towards Central Park where Steve arrives in an old-school bike, Clint and Natasha as well as Thor arrive in an armored van and unload with Loki who is in shackles and a muzzle.
No one said a word, as Thor just nodded towards us and held the Tesseract in a container. 'That is an infinity stone. Holy crap.'
And just as Thor turned the handle he vanished as energy passed by him and Loki and disappeared. Just like that he was gone, Steve walked over towards Tony and giving him a handshake. I walked towards him and shook his hand and a hug which made him freeze, I jabbed his side playfully with a small laugh I forced out of me. I shook Tony's hand and gave a small hug to Bruce.
After that I walked over to Natasha offering my hand after all the friction we had we came to an agreement she smirked as she shook my hand. I walked over to Clint who just smiled warmly and gave me a hug.
I felt a touch on my shoulder as Natasha gave me a narrowed glance with her eyes, I looked at her questionably but shrugged and made my way to the city, I had to check on my stuff.
In my pockets are my arc reactors busted down to hell as well as my web shooters. Everyone left their ways, Natasha and Clint in a black van, Steve left on his bike and Tony and Bruce in the car we arrived in.
I placed my scarf on my neck and disappeared into the park making my way over to the warehouse, but it would take me a while since it's really far. My smile dropped, as my gaze lowered, I felt everything dim down, and only two words sounded in my head. 'Useless, loneliness.'
Sorry about the delay, life got in the way... but I will be updating each of my stories 1 every week. Except this one, I love this story and even write for fun when I'm on my phone. I will try to update frequently.
