CHAPTER 2: The Renewal
The Avengers Tower NYC. 3:55 PM
"So, who's this Godzilla guy anyway?" Nick asked most of the team except for Thor, who was in Asgard.
"Well, whatever it is, we need to kill it. It is a menace to the city and the world." Steve said as the leader he is.
"Here." Tony said, as he threw a file on the table, containing a large stack of papers.
"Godzilla origins and history are unknown, turns out it's as old as you Cap. His first appearance in 1954, when he came ashore, frightening and destroying almost all of Tokyo City." He said flipping some pages. "Then in 1985, he came back. They had more advanced technology, but it was not enough to stop it." He looked at Steve.
"Well, maybe we can kill-" He was saying as he got cut off.
" In 2002 and 2003 Godzilla came back. The Japanese built a robot named Kiryu. It looked exactly like the monster. It was also defeated and Godzilla went back to the sea until now." Tony said, while raising his eyebrows at them.
"What about that last page there?" Natasha asked Tony.
"Says here, that Godzilla was a Godzillasaurus on Lagos Island and that it was hit by radioactivity by H-bomb testing. That's how Godzilla was created." He said surprised.
"We need to get more info and do more research before we even start talking about killing it." Bruce told them.
Later, at the shore of N.Y.C. 4:12 PM
"It's been a great day at the beach Hun. Right, Sharlette?" Amanda said while walking with her Husband and 7 year old daughter.
"Ya Dad, I love you!" Sharlette yelled in her child voice.
"I love you too." Joseph said smiling at her.
"Hey Joseph, why is everybody turning to the beach?" Amanda asked him.
"I don't know." Joseph said with a questioned look to his face.
"Is it because of the big thing in the water?" Sharlette asked the both of them.
Joseph turned to the ocean and saw the rising black object coming from it.
"What in the world?" he said, while a bright light came from the top of the tall object.
A building close to the family burst in an explosion, splitting it in half, and sending it toppling towards them.
"RUN!" Joseph yelled afraid for his family's life.
When they were running, He pushed the two loved ones out of the way, protecting them from the rubble and dust that fell on him instead.
"JOSEPH!" Amanda yelled trying to look for him. She grabbed Sharlette and started to jog to safety.
"Where did daddy go?" The little girl asked opening her eyes.
"He went to find help. He'll be here soon." She told the girl, while tears were strolling down her cheeks.
"Oh no!" Clint shouted with a look of terror on his face as he stared through a window in the Avenger tower.
"What is it?" Tony asked looking at him.
"The building, it's collapsing!" Hawkeye yelled as the building was falling engulfed in smoke, dust, and flames.
"Alright, Steve and Tony you find out what happened and also find any survivors you can," Nick told them as he was walking out of the room.
"Got it." Tony said as he grabbed Steve and flew out of the building to the pillar of smoke rising to the sky.
Site of the collapsed building 5:35 PM
"Is that everybody?" Steve asked Tony.
"I think so. Should we go?" Tony asked.
"Wait! Wait!" A woman yelled while holding the hand of a little girl. "My husband, I have not seen him yet. He may be still under there." She said pointing to an area covered with rubble and fire.
"Alright, I will try to find him ma'am." Steve said
"He is wearing a white dress shirt and a green tie, you won't miss him," The woman said.
"Sure I won't." He said.
Captain America ran to the area the woman pointed to. He moved some big rocks and poles, then sure enough, he saw a white shirt and green tie.
Steve pulled the man from the ground.
Hey, are you alright?" He asked
"M-my family are they safe?" The man asked him.
"Yes, they're fine. Your wife sent me to get you." He told the man as they were walking to the safe area.
"I will repay you for this." Joseph promised.
"No need for it." Steve told the man.
"Really, I will do something." He insisted.
They finally arrived at the safe area, and when they did Alex set aside the pain in his body and put his attention on his family.
"JOSEPH!" Amanda yelled as her face was streaming in tears. They both started to run to each other. Then she embraced his dirty body and started to kiss his face and his lips while he was doing the same. He then knelled on his knees and pulled his child into his arms. He hugged her very tightly, while twirling her around and kissing her cheeks.
"Thank you mister." The little girl said to Captain America.
"Did you find out what destroyed the building? Nick asked
"Everybody described seeing a black smudge coming out from the water. It was described as the Godzilla creature." Tony said.
"But if Godzilla was all of the way out in the ocean, then how did it destroy a building two blocks from the shore?" Bruce asked them.
