Authors note- I know it has been a long time since I updated this story so here is the next chapter. Thank you to my reviewers and followers to this story, you guys are great! I do not own anything Avengers, Hawkeye, or Marvel.
The attack on the base went according to plan. Akantha was in custody and most of the guards were apprehended. Clint and I went to the front of the base where most of the action had taken place. Guards where lined up with SHIELD agents watching every move. Natasha had apparently made it out with the other team of agents, which was a big relief to me. I saw Dena standing next to Steve her sword on the neck of a guard and Auto prowling around intimidating all who saw him.
"Be glad we are taking prisoners otherwise your ass would be grass punk!" Dena barked out at the quivering guard. Steve rested a hand on her shoulder giving her a stern look.
"There is no need for further violence Dena."
"Yeah, be glad the nice Captain saved you, cause I would have killed ya. So you better say thank you." She growled at the guard before kicking him and turning to walk towards us. Her dim face quickly brighten when she saw Akantha in custody. "Well, well, well if it isn't Akantha my wonderful sister all beat to shit. You know you can sure pull off the traitor bitch look ya know." She pointed a sword at Akantha's neck and let out a evil laugh.
"You are not my sister demon."
"Love you to. So what are you planning on doing with her Cas?"
"Well the gods were not here, it was just a front. So I say we take her in a see what she knows." I said pulling Akantha to the nearest plane. The flight back to the helicarrier was short and silent. I personally escorted her to a holding a cell before walking to the meeting room. Clint was there and he approached me.
"I don't know about you, but something seems off."
"So I am not the only one who thinks that?"
Enchantress teleported herself and Anubis to a dark cave like room. A deep voice rumbled from the heart of the cave addressing the witch.
"I see you succeeded in getting the dog under our control."
"Yes master, but the huntress captured Akantha."
"No worries she was only a pawn in my schemes. Our next plan will be to get rid of the huntress, she is the biggest threat to our plans at this moment." The voice rumbled with a great power.
"What of the Avengers master?"
"Distract them or get rid of them some how. I only need the huntress under my control to bring them crashing down."
"Of course master." Enchantress said kneeling before leaving the dark cave with Anubis at her feet. She teleported them to a roof top looking over New York. She turned to the Egyptian god with a green fire in her hands. "Distract the Avengers and bring me Thor. I will take care of the huntress."
"As you wish Enchantress." Anubis barked out before calling to his staff. It was golden and decorated with different Egyptian symbols and glyphs. He spoke some words and sand began to gather on the roof forming jackal headed warriors.
Akantha sat in a interrogation room with Me and Clint trying to get her to talk. I tried everything I could think of, but like me she was tough to crack. Clint and I left the interrogation room and saw Steve and Dena watching.
"She's not talking." Clint said pinching the bridge of his nose. Dena laughed a little before popping her knuckles.
"You got to know how long to prod the pig before they squeal Hawkeye. Steve I don't want to ruin your image of me so I wouldn't watch this if I were you." She replied with a sly grin appearing across her face. I knew exactly what she was up to and directed the confused Avengers out. Dena walked into the interrogation room for about five minutes before the screaming began. It sounded like a dying animal crossed with the wails of the dead. She came out a few minutes later blood staining her hands and that same evil smile. "She is as clueless as a bat, and don't know shit. All she knows is that Asgardian witch knows all the vital information that we need. Oh and Akantha might need a hospital ASAP."
"Well thank you Dena for your help in that." I said with a sarcastic tinge to my voice. She just waved before walking out of the room. I leaned against the wall and pinched the bridge of my nose in thought. Okay so our only lead is a bust and with every moment passing our enemies are one step ahead of us. Here I am trying to solve the problem and can't do it, How useless can I be right now? I watched as the medic moved a damaged Akantha out of the interrogation room to the med bay. Dena really put a number on her to make her talk. A few moment went by till I heard some alarms go off. Clint grabbed my hand and led me to the meeting room. Fury was waiting with a keen eye tracing my every movement.
"Tell me something Castalia does this look familiar to you?" He pressed a button and the New York news appeared on a screen in front of me. It looked like a bunch of jackal headed warriors attacking New York.
"It looks like Anubis's elite guard is going all Godzilla on New York."
"Yeah I know, now tell me why a friend of yours is terrorising the city."
"I don't know." I said quietly turning my back to the screen. I was embarrassed and angry in front of the Avengers. I was ashamed I didn't have a answer even though I was supposed to be the worlds greatest mortal hunter, I couldn't even explain why a person I trusted turned on me. I heard Fury rant behind me my anger only burning deeper into my chest.
"What do you mean you don't know? You bring this god in and can't even trust him, you are already on thin ice as it is. This only adds to my distrust in you huntress." He said huntress in a sarcastic voice before giving me a dirty look. I can't really explain what happened in that split second, but I finally flipped my lid.
"I mean I don't know you rude ass bastard. If I knew why the gods were being taken and why Anubis did this I would tell you, but i don't. If you really want the truth I am kind of glad the gods were taken not like they were doing anything anyway. Oh and before I forget the next time you address me it better be in a better attitude cause I am choosing to help you and your dumb ass program from the goodness of my heart. You will never know when I might decide to take out that other eye of yours Fury." I yelled before storming out to where Dena was. She was sharpening her katana in the armory with Auto laying quietly by her side.
"They piss you off huntress?"
"Yeah so do me a favor and don't talk."
"Okay." Was all she replied. I sat there head in my hands before I heard foot steps walking towards us. Dena got up and sheathed her sword before speaking.
"What are you looking at punk?" I heard her walking off and a familiar hand on my shoulder.
"Fury can be a real hard ass if you don't watch out." Clint said taking a seat by my side. His blue eyes trying to get me to look at him, but instead I let out a sigh.
"Yeah, what is he deciding to do about Anubis?"
"That's why I came in here to tell you. The Avengers are about to be dropped in and I think you would be a great help." He said getting up pulling out his compound bow. I stood up and could not help but smile when I saw his handsome face looking at me. The team including Dena and I were flown in to the chaos. Dog soldiers were running everywhere terrorising the citizens and Anubis was nowhere in sight.
"Thor it's nice seeing you again Asgardian, I have been waiting for you." I heard a familiar voice from behind us. I turned and saw the dark hair Egyptian god in his human form crouching on a toppled car. Compared to Thor his human from was leaner and smaller, but I knew underneath was a monster. Thor took a defensive position and raised his hammer.
"I thought we were allies friend, why have you betrayed us so?"
"Yeah well I thought about it and decided why not cause a little anarchy? I am a Egyptian god of the underworld and such. But the biggest reason is to show Asgard what real power a god has." He smiled and cracked his knuckles before jumping off the car. I noticed the jackal guards were separating us from Thor which meant Anubis wanted to play alone with the demigod.
"Fine if that is what you wish, but it is a foolish mistake Anubis." Thor boomed. I heard Tony's voice after he saw that a tiny little Anubis was going to take on Thor.
"I can see Thor's got a handle on Anubis, but we need to take out his guards."
"Already handled Tony." Clint chimed as he let loose three explosive arrows all hitting their mark turning the beasts to sand. I noticed they were weak which meant they were mostly for show and not hurting people. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Thor about to make the biggest mistake of his life. The dark hair human form of the Egyptian god shifted into a monstrous black figure. He stood about seven feet tall with features both human and jackal. A jackal head, feet , hands, and a tail but stood up right like a man. He let out a deafening howl that shook the ground all around us.
"I am going to enjoy this Asgardian." He laughed out. I was pulled out of the fight by a jackal guard charging towards me. I loaded my bow before firing turning him to dust but a flash of green light blinded me. When my eyes readjusted a little girl stood in front of me.
"Nati?" I said in almost a whisper at the little girl. She had brown hair and eyes just like our father and mother. Since my father was Zeus she looked nothing like me, but like my adopted father.
"Castalia I want you to do me a favor."
"Anything for you sister." I said crouching in front her not caring about the battle around me.
"Lets play a game. I will be the leader and you will follow me okay."
"Anything." I said before she reached a hand out to my face. The contact felt like fire and I wanted to scream, but instead I closed my eyes shutting out the world.
"Enchantress watched as the huntress fell under her spell just as Anubis did. She saw that Thor had fallen for her plan perfectly and would me his defeat at the dogs hands. Everything was going according to her plans and she had no need to be there anymore.
"Anubis defeat Thor then bring back, Huntress make sure you incapacitate the little Avengers."
Clint saw Cas kneeling on the ground talking to thin air and tried calling out her name. She turned before loading her bow and aimed her sights right at him. He saw the arrow fly and tried to jump out of the way, but is caught his leg. He hit the ground seeing Cas load a explosive arrow and aimed at Tony. He tried to speak, but his voice wouldn't form words until he finally passed out on the ground. Cas launched a explosive arrow and blew Tony out of the sky. He hit the ground before the electrical arrow tip fried his circuits. Natasha saw what had happened and went to confront Cas. Cas fired a arrow, but Natasha easily jumped over it before landing a kick to Cas. Cas blocked it with her bow then used it to hit Natasha. The Widow went to turn, but felt a pinprick on her leg causing her to loose mobility. Cas watched as the assassin fell to the ground with paralysis. She put up her knife and went to get rid of Steve and Dena.
"Good you are here Miss Cas." Steve let out throwing his shield at on of the dogs turning it into sand. Dena stood at his side and sliced through dogs with her katana while Auto tore them to shreds. Cas grabbed a special arrow and let it fly into the hell hounds skin taking him out first.
"What the hell Cas?" Dena yelled noticing Cas aimed her next target at her. She dodged the first arrow and came in to close like the Widow and Cas took her out with her knife. Steve turned and found himself alone.
"Miss Cas?" He saw a green tint to her eyes as she loaded her bow.
"You see Steve it's noting personal and Its only a game." She shot a arrow but Steve brought up his shield to deflect it. She ran toward him using his shield to launch herself behind him. In midair she arched her body and fired a arrow into his left shoulder. Seconds past and the Captain was laid out flat. She walked over taking his shield. Next she went to Clint taking his bow and quiver then Dena's katana.
"To easy Thor, I have seen more fight in a world of warcraft elf then you displayed today." Anubis teased at the demigod under his feet. He grabbed Thor's feet and slowly dragged him to the green portal Enchantress appeared in. Nothing was left but broken Avengers and piles of sand.
Clint woke up in a hospital bed in what only seemed like a a few hours. Dena sat in the corner flipping through a magazine.
"What happened?"
"I visiting Steve not you so don't get your hopes up." She replied flatly.
"Tell me a answer damn it."
"Okay pushy, Your girlfriend went AWOL and attacked us all. You and the rest of the Avengers were effected by her toxic arrow tips and have been out for about three days and Thor is MIA." Clint put a weak hand over his face and tried to think of something to say or do, but could not. All he though about was Cas's safety and well being.
