'Demon tongue' and "English" will be written this way from now on.

Euralye P.o.v.

I woke up feeling dizzy and disoriented. I was confused as to where I was until I saw Titian beside me.

'Where am I?'

'You're here to recover from your stab wound.'

The memories slowly returned to me and I felt relieved that Titian had protected me while I was unconscious.

Titian asked me what happened while we were separated and I told him the whole story. He told me of his short alliance with 'Captain' (a.k.a. Spangles) and how he found me.

When I told him about the staff Loki possessed and the similarity it had with the magical energy we were tracking, he agreed with me that Loki was the sorcerer we were searching for.

We were talking when Stark came in.

"Great! You're both here. Come on losers, we're fighting aliens."

He turned around and walked away. I glanced at Titian and he shrugged. We followed him.

In the way, more of the strangely dressed humans joined us. The redhead, Spangles, Stark, and a new human with arrows and tight pants were among this group. I noticed that neither the caped one nor Hulk's human counterpart were with us. Spangles nodded at Titian and he nodded back. I was confused, since when does Titian make friends?

We continued walking until we reached a room in which a lot of flying aircrafts were gathered. I felt my eye twitch. Hell no, I was using my wings this time.

Titian and I walked away from the four humans entering the flying menace and one of them shouted at us.

"Hey!"

I turned around and simply said. "We can fly." We kept on walking.

Once we were on the edge, I let my wings grow back and watched as Titian do the same. He could partially transform to his dragon shape and only grow bat like wings and his claws. We took off and were flying around waiting for them to lead the way when a flying metal armor came out. I carefully approached it when the thing in my ear buzzed.

"Just me, don't take your claws out." It was Stark's voice and I stopped midflight. Stark was inside that metal thing? Well, stranger shit has happened.

We followed the aircraft and Stark until a big city came in view. I watched amazed by the sheer size of the buildings and how close they were. I felt claustrophobic just by seeing how little space there was between them. Suddenly Stark headed for a big building that said S.T.A.R.K. I raised an eyebrow at the male's ego but followed him anyway. Instead of going in the floor Stark went to, I landed on the roof. A human male was fidgeting with a machine and didn't seem to acknowledge me at first. His movements were maniacal and anxious, and he was muttering to himself. From what little I had observed, this was not normal behavior for a human.

He turned around and was stunned by my presence. I had a clear view of his work and could see that he had been messing around with a blue energy cube. The energy was exactly like the one in Loki's staff, but was more concentrated now. It gave off waves that were not unlike the smell of carnivorous plants, addicting but deadly.

"Step away now." I growled. Being this near to the cube could cause some catastrophic effects on a human. I didn't know how much contact he had with it, but could only hope that it wasn't much.

"The Tesseract has opened my eyes to things I couldn't even dream of! It spoke to me!" He rambled on and I now understood his anxious behavior. He had let it enter his mind and he was being influenced by it.

There was only one way to successfully cleanse him from the corrupting energy and it was by entering his mind.

I established a telepathic link. Inside, I could see clearly the damage on his mind. A part of the Tesseract had settled in a corner of his subconscious, discrete enough to not be noticed but still able to influence him. Long tendrils had made its way to his memories and thought process. It acted out like a learning drug, giving its host what it wanted in order to keep him "happy" and cut off his inhibitions. I followed the tendrils to the core. His mindscape was like a tunnel and his memories played out in the walls. Where the Tesseract had touched, it distorted his view of the world. His thoughts were directed only to opening the portal.

Carefully, I untangled his mind from the Tesseract's grasp. It was a slow process but it would leave fewer secondary effects. I gathered all of the Tesseract's energy in a ball of blue light and ejected it from his mindscape. I quickly exited and I felt exhaustion catching up with me.

The human went unconscious and I caught him before he hit the ground. I lowered him carefully and when I looked up, I was faced with the redhead from before. She barely acknowledged me and the unconscious human and went straight to the machine that opened the portal.

"I can close it!"

Through the earpiece I heard the other members of the oddly dressed humans nudging her to do it, all except one.

"Not yet! There's a nuke coming!" Whatever a nuke was, it was certainly bad news.

A moment later, the metal suit man passed above us with a metal flying tube. He had barely entered the portal when the tube exploded. On impulse, I shot off and flew at speeds humans considered supersonic. I didn't care if I was going really fast, it still wasn't fast enough.

I vaguely registered someone talking through the earpiece when I saw the metal suit's form barely coming out of the closing portal. In a heartbeat, I caught him in the air and didn't stop flying. Instead, I twisted midair and headed for the streets below.

Once I landed, I put him down. Two of the other humans approached us and Hulk landed behind me. I step aside since they would know better how to treat one of their own. The wielder of the hammer ripped the metal mask off his face and Stark was apparently not breathing. I knew he was still alive but barely. Hulk must have known this since he roared, startling Stark back to life.

I think he was a bit confused at the moment since he talked nonsense about "shawarmas". That or it was a normal near death reaction for humans.

Once Stark was up in his feet and looking okay for the time being, we headed to the semi destroyed Tower.

"Now that we finally have time, who are you? I mean, seriously has no one else been wondering where the hell this girl appeared?!"

It was Stark who asked while we were walking. I stared at him. He stared at me. We continued like this until he blinked. I looked away and kept walking.

When we came up to the top level; we were greeted by the redhead, the unknown archer that appeared at the last moment, a beaten Loki and Titian. I could honestly say that Titian looked more normal than the rest.

I joined Titian's side while all the humans gathered around Loki. He steered and immediately, all of them took out their weapons and pointed them to him.

"I think I would like that drink now." I guess I would never understand humans at this point.

Sorry for the late update but schoolwork caught up with me. So the Avengers arc is over, but the story is not! A few more chapters left and I don't think there's going to be a sequel. Suggestions are taken!
