Tony walked into the main floor looking at Loki. He had to buy time will his suit was getting ready and the other were on their way.

"Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity," Loki called out to him.

"Actually, I'm planning to threaten you." Tony shot back.

"You should have left the armor on for that." Loki raised his hands.

"Yeah. Seen a bit of mileage and you've got the glow stick of destiny." Loki laughed at the looking down at his scepter. "would you like a drink."

"Stalling me won't change anything." Loki saw through his plan.

"No. no threatening."

"The Chitauri are coming. Nothing will change that. What have I to fear?" Loki said looking out over to the city.

"The Avengers. That's what we call ourselves. We're sort of like a team. Earths mightiest heroes type thing."

"Yes, I've met them." Loki cut him off.

"Yeah. It takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But let's do a head count, here. Your brother the demigod, a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend. A man with breathtaking anger management issues, a couple of master assassins. One that can drive people mad, and you, big fella, you've managed to anger every single one of them." Tony said taking a drink.

"That was the plan." Loki took a step closer.

"Not a great plan. When they come, and they will, they'll come for you." Tony walked over to him.

"I have an army." Loki held up his hands.

"We have a Hulk." Tony shot back.

"I thought the beast had wandered off."

"you're missing the point. There is no throne. There is no version where you came out on top. Maybe your army comes and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you. Because if we can't protect the Earth, you can be sure we'll avenge it."

Jennifer flew the plane into the city. They had been able to listen to Tony over the comms. They could see where the portal had opened was right over Stark Tower. Aliens were pouring out of it heading toward the city below. Jennifer and Clint did their best to take out as many of them as they headed toward the tower.

"He's lining them up for you on third," Natasha called up to them getting the information from Tony. Jennifer glanced over at Clint.

"You ready for this." He smiled warming up the guns.

"I've been waiting all day for this." Clint fired the guns at the aliens as Jennifer flew the jet toward the building pulling up at the last minute. She directed the plane up to the balcony where Thor and Loki were fighting. Clint homed in on Loki but before he could shoot Loki shot out one of his energy blasts. It struck the side of the plane and alarms started to go off.

"Hold on this isn't going to be a smooth landing," Jennifer called back to Steve who was the only one not strapped into a seat. Jennifer jostled the jet through various streets doing her best not to hit any buildings. She spotted an open area narrowly missing a civilian that was running to safety as she set the plane down. It jolted to a stop, and the four of them made their way off the jet. Jennifer did her best to stay close to Natasha and Clint. She didn't know how they were going to do this. She hadn't used her powers in a combative manner especially against aliens. She didn't understand how they would interact with them. It could end up hurting the Avengers more than helping them. Sure, she knew how to fight but not like Natasha and Clint did. Steve joined the three agents in their fight on the bridge. Jennifer ducked as he launched his shield at an alien. She spun to her right stabbing one of them. This was not getting them anywhere. The aliens were coming out faster than they could take them down. Thor landed in front of them grabbing his side. Jennifer ran over using a bandage that she had with her to cover the wound. While he was talking to Steve.

"Jennifer, I need you to help with getting civilians to safety," Steve said as she got to her feet. She nodded and turned to head in the direction where most of the people were being held up. Steve grabbed her arm stopping Jennifer from leaving. She looked at him razing her left eyebrow. "I don't understand or like your powers, but you better use them now." She ripped her arm from his grip. Taking a step back staring up at him.

"You don't know what you are asking me." She said coldly.

"That may be so but do it," Steve said staring at her with ice blue eyes. She took a deep breath before nodding.

"No promises," Jennifer said then ran down the street.

Jennifer had gotten most of the civilians out off the main street. An older man stopped her before she headed further down the road.

"They are starting to gather people in that building." He pointed at a building a few blocks down. Keeping his voice low so the people around them wouldn't hear. Jennifer nodded now seeing the growing number of aliens that were gathering around the front of the building.

"Thank you," She then turned to talk into her com "Cap there are civilians held up in a library about a block from you. I'm on my way." Jennifer called as she stabbed another alien that had appeared in front of her. She hadn't used her abilities yet. She still was not comfortable using them. However, when a small boy ran out from behind a dumpster was snatched up by one of the creatures that all changed. Before she could think things through, she turned her eyes to black and sent a jolt of fear into the beast. It collapsed to the ground dead releasing the child. Jennifer walked toward the boy, but he cowered away from her in horror. She stopped backing away not wanting to scare the child more than he already was. A lady who Jennifer assumed was the boy's mother ran over to them. She scooped up the child and held them protectively from her.

"Get back you monster." The lady screamed as Jennifer's eyes slowly turned back to normal.

"I'm only trying to help," Jennifer whispered as she ran back onto the street heading in the direction of Steve's location. She had to be fast they were running out of time. An alien came out of a side street charging at her. She swung at it, but they dodged shooting a blast at her that she narrowly missed. The alien smacked her in the face knocking her commes out. This was taking too long she needed to go help, Steve. Jennifer rolled her eyes to black and blinked. The alien disappeared for a second then returned dead at her feet. Jennifer stumbled back slightly breathing deeply. However, before she was able to catch her breath, she heard a massive crash not far from her. She turned the corner and saw Steve on the ground. She ran over to him dropping to her knees, so she could see the wound. She pulled off her hood and pressed it to the injury as Thor helped Steve to his feet.

"You ready for another bout," Thor asked looking at the wound Jennifer was working on. It wasn't dangerous with his abilities he would be fine in a day or two at most.

"What you two getting sleepy," Steve said through gritted teeth as she pulled it tight.

"Not a chance." Jennifer smiled up at him. Steve held his finger up to his ear listening to someone on the coms. Jennifer hadn't gotten a chance to find her com after it was knocked out.

"Do it," Steve shouted into the com then stopped. Jennifer wanted to stay and listen, but Thor and Jennifer had to get back to the fight. She went left, and Thor went right. Her eyes darkened as she let out a low breath bringing up the smoke and turned her eyes black. Jennifer did her best to keep as many aliens from getting past her, but her mind was starting to fog. She needed to breathe but didn't want to lose the advantage of darkness. The smoke began to thin, and she fought to stay focused. Just as she was about to blink another group of aliens out, they dropped to the ground. She sucked in a deep breath. Looking around she saw that all the creatures around her had also fallen to the ground. She ran over to Steve he would have answers.

"What's going on." She asked. Steve and Thor were both looking up at the sky.

"Tony sent a nuke through the portal and Natasha closed it," Steve said doing a double take at the sight of her eyes slowly changing from black to blue. "Uh…there he is." He said pointing at a small figure coming out of the closing portal. They waited for a dreadful heartbeat.

"He's not slowing down," Thor said winding up Mjölnir. The Hulk, however, grabbed Tony before he needed to do anything. The Hulk crashed down on the street not far from them. The three ran over to Tony and the Hulk.

"Turn him over and get the mask off him," Jennifer called taking her gloves off. Thor did as she asked. Jennifer dropped down next to the still body of Tony. She looked at the Arc Reactor. It wasn't lit up like it needed to be. She tried to check him for a heartbeat, but the armor was too tight she couldn't get her fingers to his neck. Hulk roared, and Tony gasped for air.

"What just happened please tell me nobody kissed me," Tony said then saw Jennifer. "Maybe you can." Jennifer rolled her eyes standing up.

"Not a chance." She said smiling relieved that he was alright.

"We won," Steve said ignoring Tony's last comment.

"Yay good job guys, lets just not come in tomorrow. Let's just take a day. You ever try shawarma? There is a shawarma joint not far from here." He said moaning slightly as he moved.

"We are not finished yet," Thor said looking up at Stark Tower.

"And then shawarma after," Tony said.

"Sure, think Stark," Jennifer said.

The Avengers walked onto the main floor of Stark Tower. Jennifer followed the others making their way over to Loki. He was laying on the ground moving slowly. Jennifer stood in the back not wanting to get to close to Natasha. She was holding the scepter that she had used to close the portal.

"If it's all the same to you. I think I'll have that drink now." Loki said leaning back against the step.

"Sure, as long as it's to go," Tony said looking over at Thor.

"Yes, I will be taking him back to Asgard," Thor said walking over taking hold of him.

"Just be sure you take the Tesseract with you," Steve added.

A/N: only one more week of this part. Then on to the next part.
