Loki stood and put his boot on her chest, fingers still pointed at her face. Without thinking, Kayla put her hands on the boot that was robbing her of air and pushed. The energy glowed brighter, and she stopped. She decided to play an angle. She squirmed, and when he pressed harder, she coughed and attempted to gulp air. The pressure lifted, and Kayla used ice underneath her to propel hereof violently forward. Loki slammed against the back of the hovercraft, as Kayla stood. She looked at him with fury. When she felt the air molecules shift behind her, her fist flew backwards and the Chitauri pilot exited the hovercraft.

"How dare you," she growled, low and menacing. At his confused face, she added, "The confinement room has cameras."

"Oh, that." He waved his hand dismissively. "That was nothing."

The hovercraft split in two, and the girl and the god fell to the earth. As soon as Loki pulled himself up, he was knocked over again. Kayla had drawn her fist back and punched him in the face.

"That was for Phil. This is for Thor." She punched him again. When her fist flew forwards for a third hit, Loki grabbed her hand and swung her around so she hit the ground face first. He twisted her arm behind her back. Jets of ice flew from the soles of her feet, which, he noticed, were bare. As she pulled her self up, and Chitauri hovercraft slammed into her, speeding her away from the Asgardian and towards the battle. When she managed to crash the craft, Kayla found herself besides Tony, battling for her life. The creatures seemed to be coming from everywhere. Just as Kayla thought she could hold out no longer, a mighty shockwave cleared all the Chitauri from the square. Standing there, hammer in hand, was Thor.

"Thor!" Kayla cried happily.

He greeted the excited teen with a nod, and waved away another line of Chitauri.

"Fury to Avengers. Who's on Loki right now?"

Kayla saw Loki fly past, and she called, "I'm on him!"

She jogged after the small hovercraft and raised a wall of ice in front of it. It crashed, and Kayla fished Loki out of the wreckage. She slammed him up against a building. He fought back ferociously. Using his magic, he levitated small metal objects. Most she deflected, but one caught her on her face. She glared at him, and her eyes turned a dangerous, ice blue. Snow swirled around her in a blizzard, and she stormed toward the awestruck god. Ice darts pinning him to a wall by his fine clothing. He blasted the wall behind him, and fell into the building. Kayla walked after Loki, objects obstructing her way being shoved aside by gusts of frigid wind.

Suddenly, the building was crushed by a giant, wormlike Chitauri. The blue faded from her eyes as she was caught on the armored Chitauri. She attempted to pry her jacket hood off, but it was firmly wedged between two pieces of armor. Kayla was furious at her self for being so careless. As the Chitauri soared into the sky, she managed to loosen her bow. Countless Chitauri fell with her black arrows in their bodies. She felt one last arrow in her quiver and put her bow back. That was her last energy-encasing arrow. She went back to wriggling in her jacket, attempting to take it off, but was unable to do so because of the quiver and bow on her back. She yelled in frustration. Kayla heard engines and looked to her right.

Tony hovered there. "Need a hand, Icee?"

"Yes, and stop calling me that!"

He shrugged. "No can do, Snow Cone."

She growled in good-natured irritation as Tony loosened her jacket. Kayla plummeted a ways, then caught herself on a platform of ice. Her arms flailed as she fought for balance, but a tendril of ice pushed her up. More and more Chitauri were streaming out of the portal by the minute. It must be closed. She flew to the top of Stark Tower and spotted Natasha.

"Natasha! If you can, close it!"

"Wait. I have a nuke. Keep it open." Tony's voice echoed in her ear. Kayla watched helplessly as Tony directed the nuke into the portal. Natasha began to close the portal. When there were only a few feet left, Kayla caught sight of a flash of red and gold. She grinned, then realized he wasn't slowing down.

"Tony!" She launched herself over the side of the building. She pulled her legs and arms close to her body and grabbed Tony's arm. Ice gently lowered them to the ground.

"Tony." Kayla slapped his now helmet-less face. She shook him. She checked for breathing, then started CPR. Before she could give him breath, a giant, green hand shoved her out of the way and the Hulk roared in Tony's face. "Ahh!" His eyes flew open. "Please say nobody kissed me."

"I almost did." Kayla gagged at the thought of doing mouth-to-mouth with Tony.

There was a shift in the air current behind Kayla, and she ran a few feet away to where Loki sat, seemingly dazed. Ice begged to leap from her hands, but she calmed them. Loki gazed at her, then tackled her. She grunted in shock, and then her training kicked in. She pushed him off with her legs and jumped up. Loki threw a punch, which she dodged. She returned with a kick to his back. He collapsed in the rubble. All the Avengers stood over him, weapons ready. He put hands up. "I think I'll have that drink now, if it's all the same to you." As Loki was lead away, he shot Kayla one sad look. But Loki would never touch her again, she would make sure of that.

Quick question: Do you want me to end this story with one more chapter, or send Kayla to Asgard?
