Chapter 2
AN: I AM SOOOOOO SORRY! I haven't updated in FOREVER
Just to clear any confusion. Loki and Thor lived down in Kansas so they were more towards the start of the whole thing. It takes them two years to reach New York. The zombies took about the same amount of time. When the people of New York heard about what was going on they started to build the metal walls. So Loki and Thor and the Warriors are outside New York. And New York has been attacked a couple times. Steve, Clint and Nat were part of the army who built the wall. Tony and Pepper had been hiding in the city slowly making their way to the wall. (They had just got back from vacation when it had spread to their area. Trapping them before they could get to safety.) And Loki and Thor and his friends were just trying to find someone out there who still lived, slowly but surely making their way to New York. Now I hope that clears up any confusion so.

On with the story! XD
Thor's POV
We had found a new house farther to the north east on our last scouting trip. I had told Loki and we were packing up. When we were sure we had everything we left the small hut. The run-down house had no other way to describe it. We trekked through the streets getting closer and closer to the skyscrapers of New York. The outbreak had started in California so this was out last hope. Maybe some people still lived free of the disease. As we got closer I could see a shining metallic structure in the distance. I paused and took out the binoculars the group had found. I focused on the shining spot and gasped. There was a giant metal wall. I slowly handed the binoculars around the group and we all let out breathless laughs. We weren't the only ones. Others still had to be alive. The wall looked fairly new. We continued our trek to the new house we had scouted out before. When we reached it I pulled out some planks from the shed and we quietly boarded up the windows and doors. The sun slowly sank in the sky and I turned to see Loki was nowhere to be found.
"Loki?" I called out quietly.
No reply. I glanced at my friends but they shook their heads and shrugged their shoulders. No one had seen Loki. I started to panic and climbed the stairs quickly. I checked every room and stopped short when I heard the choked sob come from outside. I whirled around to see one of the rooms had a balcony that lead onto the roof. I slowly opened the glass door and saw Loki laying against the wall. His head was buried in his arms, his knees pulled to his chest. I slowly sat down next to him and wrapped a comforting arm around his shaking form. We sat there for hours. The sun slid down behind the horizon and slowly the stars popped into view. I nudged him and he lifted his tear stained face to the sky and we sat there in the growing cold watching the universe go by. Finally he spoke.
"They're really gone aren't they. Never to return." It was a statement and needed no response but I nodded anyway.
"Why did it have to be them, Thor?" He choked out.
I sighed.
"I don't know. But we cant give up now. We're so close Loki. Look over there." I pointed towards the metal wall, lights shining from inside.
"There's still people out there. We can make it. We mustn't give up. Mother wouldn't want us to." I trailed off and we drifted into silence.
Bruce's POV
I opened my eyes to see the small crack in the wall spilling golden sunlight into the abandoned house. I slowly sat up my back and legs ached from all the running and hiking we'd done. We were just outside New York. The last colony of living people. I sat up and looked over at the sleeping form of Margret and decided against waking her. Crawling over to the packs I sorted through the samples and the little equipment we had left. I stopped when I heard voices in the distance. I slowly stood and peeked out the grimy window only to see a group of teenagers hiking through the empty woods.
"Come on Volstag! You cant stop now we're almost there!" A blond male yelled to his slacking companion.
"Is it time for a break yet? I would love a snack, guys come on." The red haired boy complained.
"No. There isn't time. We need to reach the wall before sunset, so hurry up!" The only female in the group yelled at Volstag this time.
The wall! They're heading to the colony too!
I ran to the door and opened it waving my hands in the air. They froze as they turned to me.
"Wait!" I made my way till I was only ten feet from the group.
"Could my assistant and I accompany you on your way to the Wall please? We have samples that could help in finding a cure." I prayed they would accept.
The blond male from earlier started to shake his head but a tug on his arm caught his attention. A younger boy with black hair and green eyes whispered to the 'leader' of the group and seemed to change his mind. He turned back to me and gave a curt nod.
"Thank you. Thank you so much." I turned back to the house we had camped in and ran.
"Margret! Margret get up! We're heading to the wall!" I grabbed the packs and tossed one to her as she sat up rubbing her eyes.
"What's going on Dr. Banner?" She asked her voice still muffled by sleep.
"We have an escort so to speak. Come on lets go we need to leave." I finished packing everything and helped her to her feet and we joined the small group outside.
After a few introductions we were on out way to the steadily growing Wall.
Steve's POV
I had been patrolling the outside of the south wall when I saw the small group of people running towards me. There were four zombies chasing them. I ran forward but was helpless to watch as the red head at the rear tripped.
The zombies launched themselves at the poor boy and ripped into him. One of his companions Screamed and pulled out a long strip of metal. He ran forward and started slicing into the distracted zombies.
The screaming, and noises from the zombies themselves drew more to our location. Soon the dark haired teen wasn't fight just the four from before who had eaten his friend but ten more surrounded him. The blond broke off and went to assist him closely followed by the female.
Several more cries came from the four remaining members of the group but they continued toward me knowing I was their ticket inside to safety. As I radioed in telling the soldiers to open the door we all looked back at the overwhelmed teens fighting for their lives and their fallen comrades. They knew there was no way out but they were determined to take as many of those creatures as they could with them.
The doors opened and I pushed the four people inside. I watched as they were patted down by the guards and checked over by the nurses. They seemed scared, yet relieved to have made it. And the sorrow of losing their friends was all too evident in the tears streaming down their faces. I looked away unable to see such suffering and knowing I could do nothing to fix it.
Tony's POV
I had been in the lab messing with the equipment when the door opened to reveal a nerdy looking guy with brown hair and a woman with short curly blond hair both carrying packs with vials and samples.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Banner and this is my assistant Margret. I hear you're a genius. Would you like to help me work on a cure for this damn thing?" He asked holding out his hand.
I took it and nodded.
"Hell ya."
We set to work immediately.
