Chap 11- Are you brave enough?

I found all the Guardians in a small room just sitting there. I threw open the door,"Guys? What are you doing just sitting there? We have to suit up!"

Tasha shot me a look,"But Agent Hill said we were no longer-"

I rolled my eyes,"Since when is Agent Hill the leader of the guardians? Now Suit up and get whelmed then get Traught, so we can crash the mode! I'm feeling the Astor and you guys can be as chelant as you like because I'm turbed."

Haley giggled,"Who let her watch Young Justice again? I thought we agreed that after she fan-girled the first time we'd never let her go down that road again!"

"Noted," I laughed,"I'm in renial."

They stood and followed me to where our uniforms were being held. I waltzed over to my case and typed I the code. The glass pulled away and I grabbed my armor. I saw the pin that I had moved from my mattress to this case. I picked it up. Diana walked up and put her hand on my shoulder,"Hun... If you need me too..."

I smiled and turned,"I got it," there was an incinerator, one SHIELD used for important documents that needed to be destroyed immediately. I opened it and tossed the pin into it. I watched as the gold flared and the flames change colors. I shut it and then turned to my team,"Time to go."

Tony radioed us from inside his suit,"Hey Nicole. Bad news. The jet that Hawkeye is planning to swipe can't hold everyone. One of you will have to fly with me."

I volunteered first,"I'll go. I don't think anyone else is brave enough to let you drive them. No offense Tony."

"None taken," Tony radioed back," Let's go Wolfy. Meet me on the deck."

"Over and out,"I radioed back. I turned to my team,"Go meet Cap, and the other two. We'll meet you at New York."

I ran up the stairs near us which was a straight path to the deck. It was an easy climb, surprisingly. I spotted the hatch at the top and quickly threw the latches. I threw my shoulder into the hatch and pushed up. The lid fell to the side and I climbed up,"Stark? We're are you?"

I was grabbed from behind and lifted into the air by Iron Man,"Right behind you."

"Oh," I hissed,"Thanks so much for the warning."

"Anytime Wolfy. Don't worry about falling. I've electrolyzed your body to the suit."

****

As Iron Man and I arrived at Stark Tower we saw Selvig, activating the portal maker, which was holding the Tesseract.

"Sir," Somehow I could hear Jarvis through Tony's suit,"I took off the arc reactor. The device is already self-sustained."

"Shut it down, Dr. Selvig,"Tony yelled at Eric.

"It's too late," Dr. Selvig yelled back,"It can't stop now. She wants to show us something! A new universe"

" Okay," Iron Man muttered as he lifted up the opposite arm and aimed his hand toward the machine and fired. The energy from his boosters hit and then exploded like an egg hitting the ground. Iron Man and I were thrown back from the force.

"Will you please be more careful," I yelped as Iron Man steadied himself. The machine was unharmed and I was shocked along with Iron Man.

"The barrier is pure energy," Jarvis told us,"It's unbreachable," I saw Loki standing out on Tony's balcony. I gripped Iron Man tighter as Loki looked back up at us,"The Mark VII is not ready to be deployed."

"Skip the spinning rims," Tony said,"We're on the clock."

Tony landed his suit and I was un magnatized, I started walking right after him as the spinning rimms unsuited him. Loki had been looking up at us smiling as he turned and entered Tony's house.

Loki walked in, scepter in hand. Tony and I casually walked down the steps, towards the bar.

"Please tell me you both are going to appeal to my humanity," Loki said amused, I resisted the urge to give him the finger.

"Uh...actually," Tony said as he walked in behind me," We're planning to threaten you.

"You should have left your armor on for that," Loki said smartly.

"Yeah," Tony agreed,"it's seen a bit of mileage. You've got the blue stick of destiny," Tony grabbed some alcohol and a couple of glasses,"Would you like a drink?"

"Stalling me won't change anything,"Loki said almost nervously.

"No, no, no! Threatening," Tony corrected him,"No drink? You sure? I'm having one."

I perked from my seat,"I'll take one!"

Tony shook his head,"No way. Not 21."

"That's never stopped you!"

"But now you're under Fury's watch."

I paused for a moment and blinked,"Touché."

Loki rolled his eyes and I guessed that he wanted to scare us," The Chitauri are coming, nothing will change that."

I sniggered,"Who came up with there name! Chitauri. Kinda sounds like Chihuahua," Loki shot me an annoyed/confused look,"You know, a tiny, annoying, dog that likes to bark at everything so it'll be noticed. It gets it's wish until, it finally annoys someone so much they shut it up."

Tony laughed as Loki glared at me. Tony passed me a glass of whatever he was drinking,"Okay you deserve this!"

"What have I to fear," Loki asked annoyed.

"The Avengers," Tony an I said at the same time. Loki looked at us confused and Tony elaborated,"It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. 'EARTH'S MIGHTIEST HEROES' type of thing."

"Yes," Loki chuckled,"I've met them."

"Yeah," Tony smiled,"takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one."

"But," I interrupted him," let's do a head count here. "

"Why not," Tony smiled," Your brother, the demi-God;" Loki looked pissed at the mention of his brother," a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, a group of reincarnations of you and all your friends and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them."

"That was the plan," Loki said smugly.

"Not a great plan," I muttered, letting the achohal burn my throat before I took another drink.

"When they come, and they will," Tony emphasized,"they'll come for you." From underneath the bar table, Tony pulled on a pair of bracelets.

"I have an army," Loki smugly tried to intimidate us.

"We have a HULK," Tony and I said together, then I added,"And Kat."

" I thought the beast had wandered off," Loki tried to counter.

" You're missing the point," I hissed, and stood as Tony walked closer to him,"There's no throne," I tried (one last time) to convince him to stop this. So I wouldn't have to fight with him - to hurt him,"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," Tony growled," you can be damned well sure we'll avenge it."

Loki slowly walked up to Tony and raised the scepter,"How will your friends have time for me, when they're so busy fighting you?" Loki tapped Tony on the chest with his scepter.

PING! Nothing.

I smiled ad silently cheered as Loki's face contorted into confusion," this normally works."

" Well, performance issues," Tony muttered "You know?"

Loki grabbed Tony by the throat in his anger and flung him across the room.

" Jarvis. Anytime now," Tony mutters as he startes to get up. Loki grabbed Tony by the throat again.

"Let him go," I yelped as I started forward. But I wasn't fast enough.

"You will all fall before me," Loki growled at Tony before he THREW him out the window.

"Tony," I screamed and ran forward.

Loki grabbed me as I ran past him,"What are you doing here," he hissed,"It's not safe-"

"I've been trying to save you, but that didn't really work out so now I'll have to stop you,"I yelled at him before I screamed," Now let me go!" I jerked away from him. Something shot out from behind us and knocked into me.

"No," Loki screamed as I started to fall. I felt my mouth fall open in a silent scream of horror as I free-fell. I looked up at Loki's horrified face and he screamed something at me but i couldn't really hear him. My body reacted, The ball of light shot out from my hand and a portal opened as I fell. Hati shot out from it. He tackled me in the air and sank his teeth into my leather armor. Hati started to pull up with me. I twisted around trying to get a good hold on Hati, and managed to throw one arm around his neck.

I saw the ground coming up fast-We wouldn't make it! We were falling way to fast!

A golden blur shot from the sun, and Sköll appeared to my other side. I swung my other arm over Sköll's neck and both wolves started to pull up.

Hati and Skoll saved themselves and I from crashing into the pavement. I grabbed Sköll's fur and hoisted myself up onto his back as we flew back up to the penthouse just-in time to hear Iron Man say," And there's one other person you pissed off! His name was Phil."

Iron Man fired at Loki, who got knocked on his ass. There was a loud boom and we all looked up into the sky. The Tesseract's energy beamed into the sky. The beam then formed a vortex, which then opened up a portal. The Chitari poured out. Sköll and Hati growled.

"Right. Army," Tony muttered.

"Come on," I called as Sköll and Hati climbed up higher into the sky,"Let's go get em!"

Iron Man chuckled behind me,"You sure you're brave enough kid?"

"I let you drive here didn't I?"

Yeah, I had to do the Young Justice thing... Please Review!
