Aro, Erick, and Randall all emerged from their rooms simultaneously. Erick noticed that Randall seemed a bit…wobbly. He looked down at his communicator card, which was beeping madly along with the carrier's alarms, obnoxiously dissonant. He and his two fellow New Avengers ran out into the main hall of the fourth floor, and saw several of the heli-carrier's crew members sprinting down the hall past them. Figuring that they would lead to the source of the commotion, the three sprinted after them, Randall stumbling a bit as they went. Suddenly, Erick noticed a muffled voice coming from his pocket. He reached in, and removed his card, which now had the image of Terra's face, her piercing gaze staring up at him.
"…assemble! Are you guys listening?"
Erick raised his hand to signal to Aro and Randall to stop, and lifted the card up to his face.
"Terra?" he asked.
"Finally!" she said exasperated, "Avengers Assemble! To the bridge!"
"Right," Erick said, awkwardly. He turned towards Aro and Randall,
"We need to go to the bridge."
"Who made you...the boss." Randall sounded a little like he was going to barf on the "boss".
After a moment of awkward silence, Aro broke it,
"Lead on, son of Hulk."

Renee was the first to arrive on the bridge. Maria was standing, hands clasped behind her back, staring grimly at the holoscreen before her. She stood a head shorter than Renee, but the Captain knew that she was not a force to be trifled with. Renee snapped to attention,
"Ma'am."
Maria gave her a look, and Renee immediately relaxed, coming to stand next to her sister in arms. The holoscreen showed several images of the same commotion taking place in the streets of a crowded city. Some of the images were news reports, and text appeared on top of their images revealing that the calamity was taking place in New York City, of all places. Renee squinted at the various images, trying to discern the cause of the commotion. Before she could discover anything, the rest of the New Avengers entered the bridge, lead by Terra.
"Director Coulson." She addressed Maria, who's back was still turned towards them.
"Avengers," she addressed them before turning around, "the enemy has made the first move. Your first assignment as the New Avengers is in New York. Your target is a group of humans, six that we know of so far, armed with alien weaponry. Your primary objective is disarming and capturing these terrorists. Preserve the weapons if you can. Your secondary objective is protecting civilians and assisting military forces. Dismissed."
She then turned back around to face the holoscreen.

Renee took the lead and headed towards the exit at a jog,
"Avengers, with me."
The rest of the team followed Renee, Aro keeping perfect pace with her, the rest of the team struggling to keep up. She lead them all the way to the top of the ship, to the landing strip, where they followed her past the heli-jets, as well as the fighters, and to a sleek and impressive looking black jet, barely visible against the night sky.
"There's my baby girl." Terra said with a grin as she took the lead once they approached the jet. As she neared the jet, a ramp lowered itself, like a great mouth, from its under-belly. The team boarded the craft, to see that its inside was furnished much like that of an expensive car. Black and gray leather seats lined the walls, where Erick and Renee recognized a lot of the equipment lining the inside of the jet as everything and anything you would need on missions of this nature.
"Welcome to Dark Eagle One lady and gents," Terra said in a mock-pilot voice, as she made her way to the cockpit,
"please strap yourselves in and hang on for dear life."
She strapped herself into the pilot's seat, and began pressing buttons and flipping switches. Soon the ramp rose up with a hiss, and the Dark Eagle began its ascent into the sky.

The rest of the team scrambled to find a seat, and to strap themselves in, as Aro stood, in awe still staring at the ship around him.
"Amazing!" he said, "A great, steel eagle that you can ride inside! The closest I have ever come to such a feat was in Alfheim once…"
Aro was cut off when the plane suddenly banked left, throwing the demi-god into the side of the ship, slightly damaging some of the equipment.
"I said buckle up back there!" Terra yelled at hearing the crash.
"Aye," Aro said, grabbing his head and clambering into the nearest seat.
"Hold on now guys, we're about to travel from California to New York in about ten minutes."
"What?" what the collective response from the rest of the Avengers. However, before they could get an explanation, Terra shouted back,
"Jumping in three, two, one!"
To everyone's surprise, the jet seemed to slow dramatically. Suddenly, they were all slammed into the backs of their seats as the jet took off at what had to have been hundreds of miles an hour. How they didn't crash into any other planes, Erick had no idea. Just as Terra predicted, they stayed at that super-speed for roughly ten minutes. Once they finally slowed to a reasonable speed, the New Avengers looked out of their nearest windows to see the lights of the sleepless city. They tried to locate the threat through their slight disorientation, but Renee was the only one able to focus through the blurred lights in her vision.

Suddenly they were all distracted by the sound of retching coming from the back of the jet.
"Dammit Randall!" Terra shouted from the cockpit. "You are drunk! I knew it!"
He waved his hand at them, and then sat back up, wiping his mouth off with the back of his hand.
"I'll be fine," he said much like a drunk person would, "turst me."
"When this is over your ass is cleaning that up." Terra growled at him flipping some switches.
Renee had unfastened herself, and walked to the cockpit to stand behind Terra.
"Have you located the threat yet?"
"Working on it captain." She said continuing to flip switches and press buttons.
After a moment, she exclaimed triumphantly, "Aha! Found 'em!"
She was looking at a computerized map of the city, and had pinpointed the location of several red dots just a few blocks away from them.
"Alright captain, we're going in hot." She said heading over to where the threat was,
"Tell Banner and Denning to suit up. Aro is with me."
"Terra, we should really-"
"No time cap! I'll drop you all in on one side, and then come around on the other with Aro and take them from behind, and in the air."
"But we should really-"
"Go Cap Go!" she yelled as the location of the threat came into view.

Renee heard the ramp opening up, and grudgingly went to take what control she could of the situation.
"Alright men, suit up! Aro, you're with Stark."
"Aye."
"Banner, Denning, you're with me."
Renee, stood in the mouth of the ramp, watching the city fly by beneath her, as her fellow Avengers readied themselves for the fight. She watched for the right moment to jump, her piercing blue eyes like that of a hawk, searching for its quarry. The Eagle banked to the left, revealing the threat on the street below them. The Eagle made to fly over the battlefield, and Renee held her hand up to signal for Banner and Denning to be ready. She gave the signal, and the three of them sprinted out of hangar, and jumped thirty feet to the street below.
