Ears ringing... I can feel blood in my mouth... my back hurts... I know I screamed when someone in a blue outfit picked me up... my eyes start to focus as I hear Natasha yelling at me.

-WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? - she yelled

-Help...ing... you...

-Getting yourself killed doesn't count - Hawkeye said

My whole body hurts... yet I need to show them that I'm not a weak girl.

-I'm fine...

-Look, we're taking care of this, go home. NOW. - Natasha commanded.

-Let her help, we need all the hands we can get - said Hawkeye

Natasha turned at him with a mean glare.

-Look, you

-PROTECTO!

Both glared at me as I created a force field that protected us from a new explosion.

-Good job, now let's move - the archer commanded

What he failed to notice, Natasha did. As my force field vanished I was breathing heavily, one of the things about being a wizard is that the more powerful a spell is, the higher is the toll it takes on your body. That's why Dad and the teachers at wiztech always said that you shouldn't perform that many spells in a short period of time.

-You OK?

I nodded even though I was feeling dizzy, I ran with them hoping not to engage in another fight, it was then when I noticed the wetness in the back on of my arm, I had to use another spell to fix myself. I could hear explosions all around, heard Cap say that Hulk and Iron Man got a huge creature down. All I could do was pray I wasn't in need to something like that.

-OK you ready? - Natasha asked

I nodded.

-You're going to stay near me, Cap will be on the side while Hawkeye goes on top, OK? Your mission is to keep the creeps at bay. Got it?

-Got it.

-OK, now that there's a plan, LET'S GO! - Captain America yelled

We all ran out, I saw Cap run to a building where some creeps had a bomb and were trying to blew it along with the people inside, Hawkeyed got a lift from Iron Man and got to the top of a building, Natasha and I were the only ones on the ground, so, I had to cover her back.

-ELECTRO!

Again and again I took them out, but for each that I was taking out, ten more were coming, I could barely lift my arm, but I knew I couldn't stop, What I didn't knew what that someone was watching me.

-Who is that girl…

Natasha ordered me to move with her to a building, it was a relief and I was able to take some air. Natasha walked to me.

-You OK?

I nodded.

-What are we going to do? There's too many of them. - I said

-We need to give Iron Man and the others more time.

Suddenly the wall blew up, I ended up on the floor beside Natasha, blood began to pour from a cut in my cheek. I saw more creatures coming and I tried to contain them as best as I could, suddenly my phone began to ring.

-What?

-Alex where are you? - it was Harper

-Look I'm a little busy right now, I'll call you later!

-Alex why am I hearing explosions?

-Harper I'm in the middle of a freakin battle OK?

-Oh my God...

Suddenly I found myself on my knees.

-Harper... take care of them OK?

-Alex no... wait, don't

I had to hang up, I couldn't keep talking to her, not when I was feeling this weak and with all those creeps coming in.

-ALEX WE GOT TO GO, MOVE! - Natasha yelled as we ran out.

All I saw next was a blast from the sky and the building fell on top of them, it was Iron Man who landed in front of us, he glared at my bloodied face and injured hands.

-You've been busy down here. - he said

-Any luck closing the portal? - Natasha asked

-Not much, Thor is trying to convince Loki to change his mind - Iron Man replied

-We need to get to the building where the machine is opening the portal - Natasha said

-Maybe I can help

Why did I said that I don't know.

-How? - Natasha asked

-I can teleport us there.

-You sure? - she asked back

-Trust me on this one OK?

Natasha nodded but as I was about to raise my wand I felt a hand closing on my throat while and arm closed around my waist.

-I think we're going on a little ride - Loki said

-NO! - that was the last I heard from Natasha before I vanished from the place where I was.

The next thing I knew was being thrown through a window, as I felt cuts in my face, hands and arms I saw the culprit coming at me. I heard of him… what I never thought was that I was to see him face to face.

-Well… if it isn't our little wizard…

With my ears ringing again I managed to get up.

-You… you're Loki…

-No… I'm the last thing you'll see…

To be continued...
