I sat at the bar in Tony's building. Loki was outside and I looked around for a way to get free.
"Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity." Loki said as he walked in.
"Uh, actually I'm planning to threaten you." I turned around and saw Tony.
"You should have left your armor on for that." Loki replied.
"Yeah. It's seen a bit of 'mileage' and you got the 'glow-stick of destiny'. Would you like a drink?" Tony asked.
"Stalling me won't change anything." Loki responded.
"No, no no, threatening! No drink? You sure? I'm having one." Tony grabbed a bottle of something and looked at me, "You okay, Princess?"
I nodded and smiled. Thank god for Tony.
"The Chitauri are coming. Nothing will change that. What have I to fear?" Loki asked.
"The Avengers. That's what we call ourselves. We're sort of like a team. 'Earth's Mightiest Heroes' type thing." Tony answered as he poured his drink.
"Yes, I've met them." Loki said.
"Yeah, 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 demi-god, a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend, a man with breath-taking anger management issues, three master assassins, and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them." Tony said.
"That was the plan." Loki replied.
"Not a great plan. When they come, and they will, they'll come for you." Tony responded.
"I have an army." Loki stated.
"We have a Hulk." Tony replied as he walked towards Loki.
"I thought the beast had wandered off..."
"You're missing the point! There's no throne, there is no version of this where you come 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 damned well sure we'll avenge it." Tony interrupted.
"How will your friends have time for me, when they're so busy fighting you?" Loki tapped Tony with his scepter, but Tony's Arc Reactor stops it from taking over.
"This usually works." Loki said as he tried again.
"Well, performance issues, it's not uncommon. One out of five-" Loki grabbed Tony's neck and threw him to the ground.
"JARVIS, any time now." I heard Tony mumbled as he stood up.
Loki grabbed Tony's jaw, "You will all fall before me."
"Deploy. Deploy!" Tony yelled before Loki threw him out the window.
Tony's suit flew past Loki and went after Tony and I smiled.
"And there's one other person you pissed off." Tony said as he flew upwards and stopped at the window, "His name is Phil."
Loki raised his scepter and Tony shot at him.
"C'mon, princess." Tony said to me and I ran and jumped at him.
He put an arm around my waist and we looked up as the Tesseract shot a portal into the air.
"Right. Army." Tony said.
"Tony, drop me." I told him.
"What?"
"Drop me!"
Tony let me go and I fell. I twisted myself around so I was falling face first and smiled when I saw my target getting closer. I landed on the back of a Chitari and cut off his chain and threw him off of the little hover thingy. I slowly walked forward and jumped onto the driver and stabbed him in the back with two of my knives.
"All right. I can do this." I whispered as I drove the Chitari vehicle.
I looked back at the Stark tower and saw one of S.H.I.E.L.D's jets. Nat, Clint, and Steve were most likely in it. One of the winds was on fire and I followed the smoking jet throughout the city until it crashed in front of a skyscraper. Once I saw them get out, I jumped off.
"Kat!"
"Hi." I greeted them.
"Are you all right?" Steve asked.
I nodded, "I'm fine."
"Oh, god." We all looked up and saw a giant robotic worm thing come out of the portal.
It flew right over us and more Chitari were coming out of its sides and onto buildings.
"Stark, you seeing this?" Steve asked Tony.
"Seeing, still working on believing." Tony replied. "Where's Banner? Has he shown up yet?"
"Banner?" Steve questioned.
"Just keep me posted."
While Nat and Clint were taking down Chitari, Steve jumped off the bridge to talk to the police. There was a bus a few yards away from me, and I busted open and window and helped people out.
"This is just like Budapest all over again." I heard Nat say to us.
"You and I remember Budapest very differently." Clint replied.
Once everyone was out of the bus I started taking down the Chitari with Nat and Clint. Steve came back and soon Thor showed up.
"What's the story upstairs?" Steve asked the Asgardian.
"The area around the Cube is impenetrable." Thor said.
"Thor's right. You got to deal with these guys." Tony replied.
"How do we do this?" I asked.
"As a team." Steve answered.
"I have unfinished business with Loki." Thor stated.
"Yeah? Get in line." Clint replied.
"Loki's gonna keep this fight focused on us and that's what we need. Thousands of these can run wild. We got Stark up top. He's gonna lead us-"
We heard a engine behind us and we turned and saw Bruce.
"So... this all seems horrible." Bruce said.
"I've seen worse." Nat commented.
"Sorry."
"No. We could use a little worse." Nat replied.
"Stark? We got him." Steve said to Tony.
"Banner...?"
"Just like you said." Steve replied.
"Then tell him to suit up. I'm bringing the party to you." Tony said.
We looked up and saw Tony come around a corner with the giant worm thing with it.
"I don't see how that's a party." I replied.
Bruce turned towards the monster,
"Doctor Banner, now might be a good time for you to get angry." Steve said.
"That's my secret, Captain." Bruce smiled at us, "I'm always angry."
Bruce hulked out and punched the monster in the face. It stopped and began to flip over. Tony shot a small missile onto it to keep it from crashing. When it exploded, Steve covered Nat with his shield and Thor covered me.
Throughout the city, you could hear the Chitari yelling. Above us, more of the worms things and Chitari came through the portal.
"Guys."
"Call it, Captain."
"All right, listen up. Until we can close that portal our priority is containment. Barton, I want you on the roofs. Eyes on everything, patterns and strays. Stark, you got the perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back or you turn it to ash." Steve ordered.
"Want to give me a lift?" Clint asked Tony.
"Right. Better clench up, Legolas." Tony grabbed Clint and they flew off.
"Thor, you got to try bottling up that portal. Slow them down. You got the lightning, light the bastards up." Thor swung his hammer and flew into the air.
"Kat, you, Natasha and I stay on the ground. Keep the fighting here," Steve turned to the Hulk, "And Hulk, smash."
Hulk smiled and jumped onto the nearest building and started to take down the Chitari.
