"Don't take your eyes off them. And don't freak out. Though to be honest, I've never really seen the transformation before."
It was two minutes to midnight, and a very sceptical Elle was sitting in front of her cat and dog, "What am I supposed to expect anyway?"
Luna sat perched on the seat beside her, "You'll see."
When the clock struck midnight, there was a sudden bright light, which made both Luna and Elle cover their eyes.
When Elle opened her eyes, she screamed. There was two guys, a blonde and a raven haired guy, staring back at her.
"Amazing, right?" Luna was full of fascination.
Elle, on the other hand, seemed shocked and ready to faint, "Luna, tell me something that will comfort me."
"These guys, are the Norse gods Thor and Loki." Luna explained, "They were, um, present for the New York incident."
"Is he the one who..." She pointed to Loki, and Luna nodded, "Then may I slap him? I knew he looked familiar."
Luna looked to Loki, who was looking away uncomfortably, "Nah, it's okay. I whacked him a few times already."
"Then why are they here? Aren't supposed to be in ass whatever it was?"
Luna snorted, "Asgard. Cause two naughty boys got banished."
Ell gave them a thoughtful look, "So you're going to-"
Suddenly, a piecing screech rang through the air, cutting through the tranquil silence in the neighbourhood. Luna sprang up and ran out, followed closely by Elle and the brothers. In front of them, there was a house currently on fire. "What is going on?" Elle screamed over the chaos taking place.
"Chitauri!" Luna yelled back, "The aliens that attacked New York!"
"Well, what are they doing?" Elle shouted.
"Attacking the wrong house." Luna said quietly, more to herself than to Elle, "We have to draw them away! They're attacking the wrong house!"
Turning to Thor and Loki, she instructed, "OK, listen to me, you can fight for all I care, just be careful."
Without waiting for their acknowledgement, she whirled around and jumped into the house on fire. Luna stood in the bright inferno, searching around for the aliens that caused this mess.
Spotting a few, she charged. Luna slipped to the side of an chitauri, pushed the its elbow down and away, caught its head, and rolled it onto the floor.
Standing, she slapped her right palm down on another's face, shattering its nose. Doing a cartwheel, she opened her legs and kicked two more down.
She heard a girl's cry from one of rooms. Bringing the head of a chitauri down on her knee, she wiped her palms before searching out the source of the cry.
Walking towards the noise, she peeked in and saw a weeping girl and her sister on the floor, surrounding her were two chitauri.
"Talk! Where's the god and his brother?" One of the chitauri pointed a guns to her threateningly.
Tears flowing down her face, the girl held her sister closer and pleaded, "Please. We really don't know."
Walling back to the kitchen, she grabbed a bucket of gasoline. Please work. You have got to work.
Hauling it over to the room, she bit her lip. Was it gasoline? Or oil? Damn.
Walking in, she held the bucket up, "Let the girls go. Or I'll drop this."
The fear in the chitairi's eyes confirmed it. Regaining false confidence, one of them threatened, "You won't use it. Or the girls die."
Eying the girls, she mouthed, "Hold on to me." This had better work. Else, everything will be jeopardised.
Taking a deep breath, she threw the bucket on the floor as she made a dash for the girls.
At that moment, everything seemed to happen in slow motion.
Loki knocked a chitauri down and watched as Luna smashed through the window holding two young girls.
A fiery explosion followed soon after, and Luna crash landed on the ground, holding the two girls against her body to lessen the impact.
Coughing, she forced herself I to an upright position. "Are you OK?"
The two girls nodded mutely. "Where are your parents?"
The younger girl started sobbing quietly while her elder sister held her. "My dad was killed, and I don't know where my mom is."
Luna closed her eyes, feeling her own pain for this sisters who lost a parent, not unlike her, "Don't worry. I'll find your mom. You hang on for me yeah?"
They nodded again, their obvious gratitude showing.
Standing, she walked to Elle, "Bring them away. Just in case."
Thor and Loki followed, "What are you going to do now? I doubt they got far, but we've got no means to find them."
Luna shook her head, "We have." She walked over to her garage and pulled opened the door.
Bringing a motorcycle and a weird metal gadget out. "This," Luna said, waving the device, "Is a tracker. I placed the other part of it on a chitauri. So we follow it, and there we have it."
Thor had a mixture of surprise and admiration on his face, "Ok then. Let's go."
Luna wagged a finger, "Correction, I'm going. You're not."
As usual, before anyone could complain, Luna was off and going. Loki looked to Elle, who merely chortled and replied, "Well, you know her. I've got a car. Let's go."
Luna sped along on her motorbike, checking her tracker from time to time. Catching up with the chitauri, she stood on the seat carefully and readied herself.
Yelling, she leapt from her bike into the speeder. Pushing one chitauri out of the vehicle, she sucker punched another and pushed her shoulder into one and lifted it off the ground before slamming him down on the platform of the speeder.
Sure enough, there was a lady trembling in fear. "Please don't hurt me, good miss. I swear to god I don't know what Gods you're talking about."
Luna smiled, "Don't worry ma'am. Your daughters sent me. I won't hurt you."
Looking back, she saw Elle driving up from behind. Guiding the lady, she pointed to the car, "Ok, ma'am, I'm going to need you to jump onto the car. I'll follow soon."
Helping her down to the car, she truly didn't notice the chitauri behind her that she had slammed get up and pick up a knife.
Loki saw it, and shouted, "Watch out!" but it was too late. The knife slammed through Luna's shoulder.
Crying out, involuntary tears formed in her eyes.
Pushing away the pain, she spun around, and kicked the knife away and knocked it down. However, another chitauri had gotten up and aimed a gun to her head.
A trigger was pulled, and the shot rang out through the air. Luna closed her eyes and braced for the pain, but it never came.
Daring to open one eye, the chitauri was lying flat on the ground, dead.
Instead, Elle was out of the car, holding g a gun with trembling hands, "God girl, you made me shoot someone. Time to go home."
"Wait." She held up the tracker, "There's more. The one I was tracking, it got away."
Elle smacked her forehead, "You're injured. But I know you won't listen to me once you've made up your mind. Let's go fight some crazy alien then."
"They're going back to my house. Maybe to ambush us. I guess it is time to go home."
