The Taming of The Badger
Avengers Assemble!
Walking toward the quinjet, a S.H.I.E.L.D pilot stopped them.
“You’re not authorized to be here…” He informed, but was cut off by Steve.
“Son…Just don’t.” He held up a hand.
Entering the quinjet we all sat down and strapped in except for Steve. Stark was flying behind us in his Iron Man suit.
“We are going to the Stark Tower in New York City; Loki’s plan is to open a portal at the top of the tower because it runs on the self-sustaining energy needed to kick-start the cube.” Steve informed us.
“So how are we going to stop it?” Katelyn asked.
“We are going to use every tactic we think of and do what we can.” Steve said.
“Great, we don’t know, do we?” Brogan gave a straight face.
“No, but we will win this.” Steve stated, confidently.
“We’ll arrive shortly. Be ready.” Hawkeye stated.
Brogan and Katelyn nodded to one another. They grabbed their weapons, and prepared for the worst. Stark told them over the speakers that he was going to try to talk to, or “threaten,” Loki. After a couple of minutes they saw Stark fly out of one of the glass windows of Stark Towers and fall toward the ground.
“Oh shit!” Brogan shouted.
“No worries, Stark’s fine.” Hawkeye looked at her.
Brogan stayed silent, but nodded at Clint. She was as ready as she was ever going to be. She may not have been trained for this… but neither have they, so they are finally at her level. Hawkeye targeted Loki with the blaster on the ship, but Loki grabbed his scepter and blew up engine one and they were falling.
Brogan opened the hatch door and grabbed a parachute. With Clint coming up behind her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and they jumped out, free falling for a bit before pulling the chute. Katelyn, Tasha, and Steve were behind them. Landing safely on the ground, they watched their quinjet crash not too far away, and then unattached themselves from the parachute.
“We need to move, let’s go!” Tasha yelled.
Running toward all the commotion, they look up to find the portal has been opened and Loki’s army is coming down in multiple numbers. Hawkeye and Brogan stood side-by-side surveying the area. She had a tiger claw on one hand, a brass knuckle on the other, and her gun in its holster at her hip. He was ready with his bow and arrow in hand looking for signs of movement. Katelyn and Tasha came to stand beside them; they each had a direction, keeping their eyes peeled for anything suspicious. Steve slowly walked over, and then looked above him. They all followed suit to find a huge Chitauri Leviathan, which was carrying hundreds of soldiers, pass over them.
“What the fuck was that?!” Brogan shouted.
“Seems to be some type of… transportation for their army… only it does a lot more damage.” Steve said, stunned.
“Jesus Christ.” Katelyn huffed.
“Stark, are you seeing this?” Steve said into his earpiece.
“I’m seeing, still working on believing. Where’s Banner? Has he shown up yet?” We heard Stark say from inside his suit.
“Bruce?” Brogan asked.
“Just keep me posted…” Stark said before cutting off.
There was a pause and then Tasha spoke up.
“No time to waste, we need to keep moving ther-“ Tasha was cut off by Hawkeye.
“There! Those people down there!” he pointed down to the streets below the bridge they were standing on.
Brogan looked to Steve, who looked at her.
“Take Katelyn and Tasha with you. Clint and I can handle this up here.” Brogan told him.
“You sure you can hold them off?” Steve said to Clint.
“Captain, It would be my genuine pleasure.” He said, winking at Brogan before shooting an arrow into one of the creatures’ heads.
Steve, Katelyn, and Tasha jumped down to help some of the civilians, while Hawkeye and Brogan were busy dealing with some Chitauri soldiers. Brogan slashed right and left with her tiger claw. She had almost a routine down. Punch, punch, slash, kick, and then she would slash across their throat. Their blood was a nasty black color and some landed on her face. Wiping it off she looked at a stunned Clint.
“What? Too animalistic?” she blushed.
“No, no… I love a girl with a lot of fire in her. The fact that you did that with such ease, I’m gonna have to talk to Fury about bumping you up to Special Agent status.” He said, smiling.
Just then a Chitauri snuck up behind Hawkeye and Brogan went to grab her gun but Hawkeye was quicker than she was and without looking he shot an arrow through the soldiers eyeball.
“Well,” he started as he looked over his shot, “It’s not Loki’s but it’ll do for now.” Brogan smiled.
Suddenly, they heard screams in the distance and as they started running to the other side of the bridge they saw a couple of Chitauri soldiers terrorizing civilians on a bus. Brogan pulls her gun and aims at her target, quickly pulling the trigger, missing him by an inch. Hawkeye looked at her, pulling up his bow with an arrow ready, shooting it right into the other enemy’s neck.
“Focus on your target and trust yourself.” He told her calmly.
Brogan nodded, aiming again as the soldier charged her. She let out a breath, closed her eyes, and pulled the trigger. Opening her eyes, she saw the bullet go straight through the chitauri’s forehead. He let out a roar and fell to the ground. She smiled wide to herself, and then saw Hawkeye helping the people out of the bus. She looked around, keeping an eye on things as he helped them out, one by one. As the people ran away, they looked up to see multiple chitauri invade using these aircraft vehicles.
“No matter how many we kill, if we don’t get that portal closed…” Hawkeye trailed off, and then looked at Brogan.
“I see what you’re saying.” She stared up at the sky, unaware that he was looking at her.
“Listen, Brogan. If we survive this… you wanna go for coffee, or maybe even dinner.” He asked nervously.
She laughed, looking at him, making him look confused.
“Clint, this could be the end of the world, and you’re asking me on a date?” she questioned.
“Well, yeah, I am.” He stated, confidently.
“Well, the answer is yes.” She said before she ran off toward all the commotion below.
Jumping down as if she had jumped on a trampoline, she did a flip in the air, showing off. As she saw him follow suit, he tried to catch up to her, as they pulled their weapons at any passing enemy. She sliced and diced, broke some jaws, and shot out some pretty nice bullets, now that she had the hang of it. Then, they saw Steve and Katelyn fighting off some chitauri as Tasha was helping out civilians. Joining in the fighting they defended themselves and each other in every move. They moved in pairs; Clint/Brogan, Steve/Katelyn, and once Thor came down Tasha joined forces with him. Once they battled each oncoming force, Steve turned to Thor.
“What’s the story upstairs?” he asked.
“The power surrounding the cube is impenetrable.” Thor answered.
Then Stark’s voice came in over the earpiece, “Thor is right, we have to fight these guys first.”
“How do we do this?” Katelyn questioned.
“As a team” Steve said, all macho.
“I have unfinished business with Loki.” Thor remarked.
“Yeah? Well, get in line.” Clint spoke up, pulling out another arrow, readying himself.
“Save it. Loki's gonna keep this fight focused on us and that's what we need. Without him these things could run wild. We got Stark up top, he's gonna need us..” Steve trailed off at the humming sound of a small motor.
They all turn to see Bruce drive up on a small mo-ped. Brogan ran up to him and gave him a huge hug, which he returned.
“I knew you’d come back.” She whispered, happily.
“Yeah. Who could resist this.” He tried making a joke.
She pulled away and turned toward the others. She saw Clint slightly glare at Bruce.
“Ahem, so, this all seems horrible.” Bruce stated.
“I’ve seen worse.” Tasha said, Brogan slightly smiled but nodded.
“Sorry” He said looking at them.
“No, we could use a little worse.” Brogan nudged him with an elbow.
Steve told Stark that Banner came and Stark replied with “Tell him to suit up,” because he was bringing the ‘party’ to him. Just then, they saw Stark’s small jets from his suit come around the corner of a building. Then, they saw the huge leviathan following him and all their eyes went wide.
“I don’t understand how that is a party.” Katelyn spoke up.
“Dr. Banner… Now might be a really good time for you to get angry.” Steve notified him as Bruce walked toward the huge monster.
“That’s my secret Cap…” He paused looking back at us, “I’m always angry.” As he turned away he transformed into the Hulk.
Just as the leviathan is in range, the Hulk threw a punch at it and it flipped its entire body in a 360 above them. Stark was waiting, finding a soft spot in the beast; he shot a rocket from his armor toward it. Chunks of leviathan meat came flying toward them, catching fire. Steve held up his shield to protect them from the pieces. This caused a riot among the chitauri soldiers; they screamed and growled at them from up above. Thor, Hulk, K9, Iron Man, Badger, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Captain America all created a circle, standing back to back preparing themselves for what was to come.
“You’re not authorized to be here…” He informed, but was cut off by Steve.
“Son…Just don’t.” He held up a hand.
Entering the quinjet we all sat down and strapped in except for Steve. Stark was flying behind us in his Iron Man suit.
