Staryflake: More Elek you say…okay!

Chapter 6

The flight to the Stark Tower was nerve wrecking right after I stopped talking to the guys. Dad's suit was having difficulties flying and one of the repulsors would have a glitch. He'd recover quickly from it so it kind of looked like he was doing a cross between a dance and having a spasm. Elek and I were flying right next to him just in case he started to fall out of the sky.

Everyone seemed pretty quiet as we sped through the clear skies, and towards the battle of our lives. I think everyone was nervous, mostly because we still couldn't function as a real team, but also because we were missing two of us. The Hulk, I mean, Dr. Banner, was probably stranded somewhere, and Thor was dropped out of the sky. Both were Loki's doing. My blood started to boil with anger as all of Loki's evils filled my mind. All of the lost lives! He killed Phil! Now, his payback was coming.

'Stop...' A feint voice said softly in my mind.

'Elek?' I checked to see if he was messing with me.

'What's wrong?'

'Did you say something before?' I asked.

I felt his confusion. 'No…why?'

My heart started to quicken. 'I just heard someone.'

His understanding inched it's way to me. 'It's probably Donatello.'

'How?'

'Not exactly sure, but he did bring up that something happened when I was powered down and our connection has a third wheel now.' Elek explained.

'Third wheel? Wow, El, just wow.' I rolled my eyes.

'It's true.' He shrugged. 'Just pay attention to the mission and we'll figure it out after we save the world.'

'Okay, Super Elek.' I giggled.

With that it was back to silence, as the city grew closer. Someone else spoke to me, except this time, it wasn't in my head and I knew who it was.

"I need you to fall back a bit until I tell you, okay?" Dad told me and we looked at each other as we spoke.

"I better not have to save your smart ass." I joked.

"I'm serious, Bail." His voice took this new stern tone.

"Okay, I'm sorry." I said still trying to figure out the change. "Be careful."

"You too." He said as he sped forward and I slowed down to a hover.

'Don't be so tense, Bail, he'll be okay.' El tried to comfort me, but I couldn't help but be scared for him.

I watched as the rest of the team followed. Okay, now we're missing four. Sighing, I slowly followed, making sure to keep my distance as Dad flew to the top of the Stark building. My nerves were twisting my stomach to a knot and I allowed my gaze to stick to the top of the building.

'Be okay…" There was Donnie again.

'At least listen to him, if you're not going to listen to me.' Elek added and I giggle.

'Alright, alright.' I sighed.

I wonder why I couldn't hear Donnie clearly, and why he only spoke one, maybe two words. Still, I took a few breaths and calmed myself when panic hit me. A loud bang echoed to where I was flying and instantly, I broke into action. More shadowed it as Elek and I entered the city, heading for my home, but the scene in the sky was the event that worried me. A large wormhole looking portal was open over the Stark Tower and things, I couldn't make out what, were flying out of it.

'It's Loki's army.' Elek said as we pushed ourselves faster.

'Bailey, Elek, do you copy?' Steve came up in my earpiece.

"We copy, do you guys see this?" I stared at the army.

'Unfortunately,' He sighed. 'Donatello is sending you our location. Get here now, we need a plan.'

"Roger that." I said as the co-ordinates popped up on the screen. 'Let's go join the party.'

'Party time.' Elek said happily.

(Donnie POV)

"Is she coming?" I asked Captain Rogers.

"Yes, they're on their way now." He responded as he took in the situation around us.

Aliens on flying vehicles cluttered the New York skies and my brothers and I were deciding whether to hide, due to us being in the open, or stand and fight. We were going against everything we were taught growing up. I looked at Leo for his answer and by the determined expression, I knew the answer, we were fighting until every single one of these aliens were dead. So be it.

(Bailey POV)

When we landed, the battle had already began. People were in a frantic mob trying to search for safety, but we're running into the line of fire, as Steve just shouted out. The turtles were out on the street working with Black Widow to keep the Chitauri, the aliens invading the Earth, at bay. Donnie saw me as Elek and I broke into action. He went into his own form, but formed a bo staff for me before joining the fight. I looked up to see my dad taking on a giant flying worm thing as I spun my staff to knock out a Chitauri.

"We've got civilians trapped up here." Agent Barton said as we took out the first wave of Chitauri. Loki flew above us and I heard Raph growl.

"I agree Raph." I sneered.

Elek stayed close to me as our fighting flowed into each other's. I'd fight a Chitauri and El would take care of it as I got another one. He'd blast an alien towards me and I'd use my staff to administer the final blow. Thud, one down. I sighed as I looked at the sky. It looked like there were millions of them. Great.

"They're fish in a barrel down there." Steve said just as the next wave of aliens showed up.

"Captain, we're on this. Get everyone down there," Leo pointed at the crowd of panicked civilians, "to safety. Take them to the subways, anything to get them off the streets."

"Do you think you can hold them off?" He asked everyone.

"Captain, it would be my genuine pleasure." Barton answered this one and took out five aliens with one shot. He had an exploding arrow that sprays bullets. Nat was going at all of them with her gun. The turtles and I were fighting the ones that had gotten past the assassins.

'El, do a scan, see if there are civilians close by.' I told him. "I'll cover you."

He nodded and Donnie heard me, or he just heard me say the part I said out loud because he was covering Elek's other side as El scanned the area. I could see the scan as he did it and when he landed on a bus, it was filled with people. My eyes widened.

"Leo, Hawkeye, the bus!" I shouted and the two rushed towards the bus.

Hmm, that was a new one. I was actually able to see what Elek saw.

'I don't know if that's a good thing.' Elek said.

'Agreed.'

After getting the doors open, Leo opened some windows and helped everyone get to the subway. Mikey was leading a group of people down and away from the streets as Elek and Raph covered them. I was with Natasha taking down the Chitauri. Again, the people the turtles helped weren't afraid of them. Actually one girl was clinging onto Mikey as he led her and a group of people into the subway. Once the bus was cleared we all returned to crushing some alien skulls.

"This is like Budapest all over again." Nat shouted to Barton.

"You and I remember Budapest very differently." Barton answered as he took a quick look around.

I cringed as Elek got hit hard and stumbled.

'Elek?'

'I'm okay. Stay focused.'

'Okay, Leo Jr.'

I saw Donnie laughing and I just shrugged at him.

'You know it's true.'

Just then Captain returned and Thor fried up a dozen Chitauri.

"Hey what's the big deal?" Raph shouted as he approached the Asgardian. "I had them!"

"Raph," I called and he glared at me, but I just pointed at the group of Chitauri coming towards us, "there's more. Chill, bro."

"What's the story upstairs?" Captain asked as we, minus Raph, surrounded Thor.

"The power surrounding the Cube is impenetrable." Thor explained.

'Thor's right. We got to deal with these guys.' Dad said over the headsets.

"How do we do this?" Nat asked.

"As a team." Leo and Cap said at the same time. The two looked at each other and grinned.

'That was weird.' I told Elek.

'But perfect.' He added and I nodded.

"I have unfinished business with Loki." Thor argued.

"Don't we all?" I mumbled as Barton muttered a 'get in line'.

"Save it." Leo snapped.

"Loki's going to keep the fight focused on us and that's what we need. Without him, these things could run wild." Steve walked away as he started with his plan. "We got Stark and Elek up top. He's going to need us to-"

Banner driving up on a motorcycle made us turn. "Banner?"

We walked towards him as he approached on a small, beat up motorcycle. He got off and met us halfway.

"So, this all seems horrible." He started.

"I've seen worse." Nat said.

"I'm sorry." Banner nodded.

"No, we could use a little worse." She said.

"Stark, we got him." Steve told Dad.

'Banner?' He asked.

"Just like you said." Steve finished.

'Tell him to suit up. I'm bringing the party to you.' Dad announced.

A moment later Dad sped around a building with one of those alien worm things trailing behind him.

"I don't see how that's a party." Nat shook her head.

"Dude, your Dad might not understand what a party really is." Mikey said as he took a step back.

Banner started to walk towards the raging beast.

"Dr. Banner, know might be a good time for you to get angry." Steve stepped towards Banner.

"That's my secret, Captain. I'm always angry." Banner then turned from puny Banner to big green Hulk just in time to punch the alien worm in the face.

The metal monster was brought into a nosedive and the rest of its body flung towards us.

'Hold on!' Dad shouted as he shot the swinging body.

Donnie moved in front of me and threw his body over me to protect me from the flying debris. The aliens started screeching and we huddled into a circle as the Hulk roared back at the aliens.

"Uh, guys." I said.

'Call it, Captain.' Dad said as Steve stepped ahead of us.

"All right, listen up. Until we close that portal, our priority is containment. Barton, I want you on that roof." He pointed at a building nearby. "Eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays. Stark, Elek, you got the perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back or you turn it to ash."

"Can you give me a lift?" Barton asked Dad.

"Right," He answered and walked over to him, "Better clench up, Legolas." Dad grabbed him and launched into the air with Elek following.

"Thor, you got to try and bottleneck that portal." Steve started again. "Slow them down. You got the lightening. Light the bastards up." And there goes Thor. "Turtles, Bailey, and Nat, we stay here on the ground. We keep fighting here." He turned to the big green raging Banner. "And Hulk," Hulk's head spun to face Captain. He grunted in response, "smash." Hulk roared and threw himself in the air as he pummeled the aliens.

And the fighting commenced.
