Taking a huge leap of faith with this chapter. Here goes. *jumps*

Transcendence Rebels

Chapter 16

The entire rebel group, minus the technicians, were circled around a large, round table they had found and dragged out of the bunker, discussing battle strategies and plans for the near future. Suddenly, the technical crew strode out of their workroom, grim looks on their faces. Ford pulled his brother aside and whispered to him while the others joined the soldiers and scouts. Stan glanced over his shoulder see the rebellion, before turning back to his twin and nodding. Then he and Ford came back to the ever curious band of rebels.

"We have just received word that a rather large group of boys have been forcefully enlisted into the army." Stan announced. Beside Lavendyr, the spy felt Dom stiffen.

"How old?" He managed to get out. Ford met his gaze squarely.

"Ten to thirteen." He replied solemnly. Mabel swore, and several others followed suit. "They're being shipped to Washington tonight." Ford added. More swears.

"And that's why we're gonna get them out." Stan said. Lavendyr couldn't help it. A small, sly, smile spread across her face. Marcus quickly ran back into the workroom, before emerging again with a trolly laden with gear.

"With the technology from Dom's old soldier equipment," Ford said, with a small nod of gratitude in Dominic's direction. "We managed to recreate the suits and weapons. Gear up and let's get moving."

"Who?" Kali asked, frowning.

"Everyone but Dom, Stan, and the technicians." Ford replied, before turning and walking away. Vereyu turned to the ex-soldier.

"Why you?" Dom shrugged.

"I'm on scout duty with Stan." He replied simply.

"Ah." And with that, the rushed with the others to get her new equipment on. As they did so, Alcor spoke.

"Alright, guys. Here's the plan."

Eight rebels silently crept through the eerie forest, heading to the road. It wasn't long before they reached their destination. As they peered through the bushes, they saw two heavily muscled men, someone who appeared to be a scientist, a tall lanky man who had a faint glow at his chest, and a red-haired woman. Two of the men wore a costume, and the woman wore entirely black. They were guarding a black van, and seemed to be preparing to leave.

"Oh, shit." Lavendyr swore.

"Who's that?" Pacifica asked, eyes wide.

"The Avengers." Wendy replied.

"Oh, man." The demon whispered.

"We are so screwed." The spy muttered.

"Yep." Pacifica agreed.

"No." Mabel argued. "Guys, we can do this! So what if they have the Avengers. We have a demon!"

"She has a point." Qual piped up.

"We don't have time to come up with another plan." Alcor protested. Lavendyr shook her blonde head.

"The plan doesn't need to change." Then she noticed that they were about to move. "Come on, they're gonna go soon." She ordered.

As the truck rounded a corner, followed by the van they were guarding, Natasha, aka the Black Widow, who was driving the vehicle, just as Dr Banner was driving the van behind them, noticed a young blonde woman wearing a black cloth mask over her lower face standing in the middle of the road. Upon seeing them, she unstrapped a crossbow from over her back and loaded it with an arrow.

"Guys? We have company." Natasha warned the others. Steven Rogers, or Captain America, saw her too. Thor just laughed.

"It's just one human. What harm could she do?"

"Lots." Tony replied. "She could probably do lots."

Opposite them, Lavendyr aimed her crossbow, and fired.

It struck the tire, and the truck stopped in it's tracks, the van stopping behind it. Surprised, the Avengers leaped out, ready to attack the lone rebel. Except that she wasn't alone.

"Alcor!" She cried, and immediately a light blue forcefield enclosed the Avengers, rendering them unable to stop the rebels. That was the plan. To draw them out and stop them in their tracks. Captain America began to pound on the shield, as Thor tried to smash it with his hammer. Lavendyr chuckled softly as the rest of the rebels swarmed out of the forest.

"That's demon magic, Avengers, cast by a very powerful one as well." She called over her shoulder as she went to help the others. Luckily for them, there were no normal soldiers guarding the van.

Vereyu pulled a crowbar out of her shoulder bag and passed it to Alcor, who wrenched the padlock open. He succeeded.

"Kidnapping grown men is low. Very low." The captain called out. Lavendyr whirled and advanced on the barrier, eyes blazing with fury.

"We are saving young boys who were forced into the army." She scolded. Steven looked taken aback for a second.

"They are grown men who volunteered-" He began.

"Is that what you've been told? It that why they're locked up?" The spy demanded to know.

"They're not locked up!" Banner cried.

"Really? How is it that you are so blind that you cannot see what is right in front of you?" Behind her, the other rebels had managed to open the van, and were now helping the young boys out, giving them directions to run into the forest. Lavendyr gestured to all this. "You see? Whoever you're working for, whoever hired you, is lying to you. Make it right." The Avengers looked on, wide eyed, and the spy ran her fingers through her golden hair. "Man, I thought you guys were the good guys."

Suddenly, without warning, parts of the ground burst into flame, scorching the ground, but nothing else. Pretty soon it was over. Burned into the ground was the rebellion's symbol. Captain America pointed at it.

"Shackles." He said simply.

"They're open and stand for freedom. Freedom." Lavendyr replied.

"Lav! We're going!" Qual called out from behind her. The spy looked from him, and back to the Avengers.

"Peace, and freedom." She repeated. "Gideon is the bad guy, here."

Then before the band of supposedly 'heroes' knew it, she and the other rebels were running for the shelter of the trees.

"Hey! You can't keep us her forever!" Natasha called after them.

"We're not!" Was the only reply, and as soon as they were gone from sight, Alcor's barrier dissolved. Thor started forward, but the captain threw out his hand, halting them.

"Shouldn't we be going after them?" Natasha asked.

"No, we shouldn't." He replied, eyes on the place where they disappeared.

He had some questions that needed answers.
