chapter two losers
the lounge room was a mess. the only ones who were sitting down ready for fury were steve & nat, while the rest of the avengers ran around the apartment, trying to get everything ready. bruce was having breakfast, thor as well, tho in a very uncivilised wast, w/ clint behind him washing the dishes, tony hadn’t even shown himself this morning, while loki just watched the chaos unfold. they had all managed to finish up just in time, w/ tony coming out of his room completely ready, & stood around the table, awaiting fury’s arrival.
“nice to see you all here when i said. that makes me pleased.” nick said, glancing at loki, while he just rolled his eyes. “now, as i told you last night, downtown base was ransacked. we are unsure of what took so long to report to us, & why out of everywhere, it was there. we have started to suspect that it is a trap, & we are going to be lured there. if this is the case, you shall all be ready to engage in combat.” the avengers started getting excited. finally, after so long they were having a mission! only nat & loki showed no emotion on the news. “we have no clue as to what type of threat this is. whether it be a group of people or just one, but so be prepared to fight your best today. we will be leaving soon. get your gear & meet in hallway 7.” & w/ that, fury turned & walked away, leaving the rest of the avengers to scramble around to grab their gear, before rushing after him.
they had soon arrived at the location. it wasn’t blended in very well. in fact, at all. there was the giant “A” symbol right in the corner, w/ fences as high as a house, & guards patrolling the area. & while the base was very guarded, loki was confused as to what took someone so long to barge in there. “remember everyone, be prepared for the worst.” nick spoke, snapping loki out of his negative mindset,,,, for only a few seconds. ‘god why did thor force me to join this group of morons.’
the group had decided to split up. nick & maria were scouting the area outside, tony & steve were heading in head first, & decided to check around the back, nat, bruce & clint were staying further back, deciding to check the floors or desks for any kind of footprint or note, & thor, being the only one loki could tolerate, took him to check out the bathrooms. “gosh why did you take me here, this place reeks as bad as you do” loki said, holding his nose w/ his face contorted into one of disgust. “HA! good one brother!” thor replied, not really understanding that it wasn’t meant to be a joke, & slapped his brother on the back,, a little too hard for loki’s liking. they didn’t really talk, well, loki didn’t. thor was constantly asking questions & basically just annoying his brother as much as he could, while loki just blocked him out.
no one could find anything. there was not a paper out of place. nothing out of the ordinary. all that was taken was one gun & around 20 thousand dollars. they didn’t even take all of the money. there was no doubt in tony’s mind that this wasn’t a trap. who would break into a practically useless utility base, & not even take everything ? he had already informed cap & together they went around the place looking for the others to tell them that they should leave before things get messy. but it was too late.
there, in the middle of the base, was a girl. she was wearing a dark clock, that hid her face well. a dark cape flowed behind her,, even tho there was no wind,, there was a dark, black substance flowing from her hands. tony & steve stood still w/ shock, waiting for the mysterious girl to make a move. there was a solid 30 seconds w/ nothing but eye contact, before the girl rose her hand a shot tony w/ a blackish-piece of magic. tony shot back, his back hitting the nearby wall & his body sliding down, all while cap reacted quickly, & threw his shield at the girl while she was focused on tony. the girl spun around & snatched the shield out of the air, & immediately threw it back to cap, catching him off-guard. the noise of the fight quickly drew nat & clint there, & they immediately took action. nat ran at the girl, & swept her off the floor, before landing on top of her. the girl smirked before her eyes turned pitch black. her body phased thru nat, making her turn a little bit transparent, & flew up & next to tony, before being full clear again. she proceeded to kick tony in the face, sending his head flying to the side. cap, finally having woken up, charged at nat, helped her off the ground, before the both of them ran to the girl together. the girl was fighting them off well,, especially since clint was off to the side shooting arrows at her too. tony was still unconscious on the floor, & the others had to be careful when fighting, so they wouldn’t step on them. after fury & hill were informed of what was going on inside by cap, they safely escorted bruce out of the building, to prevent any more damage going on. if they thought the others would need help, then they’ll send him in, but for the time being, they thought this would be the best option.
the girl had swiftly taken control of the fight again, & threw nat off of her. this is around the time that thor & loki appeared. loki, being the man he was, was immediately enamoured by the girl,, fighting off the avengers ? & doing to well ? he was genuinely surprised. sure, she hadn’t fought his brother or bruce, or tony when he was ready for a fight, but her figure & technique was incredible to watch. thor ran past him, making him snap out of whatever trance he was in, & he too also joined thor. he didn’t have much hand-to-hand battle experience, so he more just stood back & attempted to look busy. thor wasn’t the brightest crayon in the crayola set, so he didn’t really understand what standing back & thinking meant, so he ran straight in & kept trying to hit her w/ his hammer. each time he tried, the girl was able to time each time & phase thru his hits. cap had decided to take a different approach, & instead decided to block her attacks, hoping to make her feel tired & find an opening. w/ cap blocking her hits, nat constantly running up to her & doing her technique, which was wrapping her thighs against their head & pushing them to the ground, clint firing incredibly accurate arrows, & thor hitting her w/ his hammer, she eventually drew tired, &, after having done a lot of damage to the avengers, ran to a the back wall & phased thru, but not before turning around, looking loki in the eyes, & blowing a kiss.
