Chapter 16 - Alien Things part 2

"Guys."  We turned at Romanoff's voice and saw hundreds of small flying ships and a couple more of the huge ones coming out of the portal.


"Call it Cap." I say.


"Alright listen up, until we can close that portal up there we gotta use containment. Barton I want you on that roof, eyes on everything call out patterns and strays. Stark you got the perimeter, if anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back or you turn it to ash."


"Give me a lift?"


"Right. better clench up Legolas."  Stark and Clint fly off.


"Thor, you gotta try and bottleneck that portal, slow them down. You got the lightning, use it. Stiles, get yourself up to Stark Tower, distract Loki from targeting us while we fight down here. And Hulk, smash." 


The hulk let out a battle cry as he runs off, jumping at a building. I give the cap a nod before running off as well.


I spotted a family being cornered by a lone alien. I take my katana and run-jump at it off a car, killing it instantly.


"Are you all okay?" They nodded. I go to leave but the mum speaks out.


"Thank you, so much. Who are you?" I pause and look back, my signature smirk place on my lips.


"Call me Trickster." I then take off running at another alien. 




I finally made my way through the aliens, up to the top of Stark Towers. I saw Loki watching the battle and I leaned against the bar. 


"You know you can't sneak up on me that easily." He said without looking at me.


"Yeah well I wasn't trying to be subtle." Now he turned.


"What? ready for round two?"


"I remember winning round one." He looks pissed now.


"You all of this, could have been avoided if you had killed me then. Revenged your uncle and stopped war, but you didn't." My face hardened when he mentioned Phil. "Why?"


"As much as I want to kill you for what you have done, I can't. He wanted you alive for some reason, and now I somewhat trust his judgment."


"He?" Loki cocked his head to the side confused.


"The nogitsune. Void. He wanted you alive. I guess  for something you do in the future." Explosions filled the silence that had filled the broken  room. 


"Liar." He then jumped from the building and onto the backs of one of the alien ships. Shit.


"Loki is gone on one of the flying ships." I say into my com.


"I got him, you might wanna take cover." I heard Clint say, and I hid behind the bar. An explosion broke out and I heard someone groan. I looked up to see it was Loki. I laugh slightly and he glares at me. We then both heard the roar of Hulk, as he jumped up onto the building.


"Crap." I muttered and went back to my hiding spot. Hulk sent Loki flying through the glass. I pulled out a chunk of glass from my arm and watched it heal.


"Enough! You are all of you beneath me. I am a god you dull creature. And I will not be bullied by a-" I heard banging and peered up from my hiding spot and saw the greatest scene of my life. The hulk smashing Loki continually into the floor like he was a rag doll.


"Puny god." I laugh as Loki lets out a groan, not able to move. 


"Hey guys, Loki will be stuck here for a while, Can I get a lift down?" 


"Sure. Jump." I did as Stark said and jumped. The sensation of freefalling down was both terrifying and liberating. I soon hit hard metal though as Tony caught me. He set me down by Cap and Thor, before flying up again. 


I jumped into action, helping them against the aliens. Cap got shot down, jumping in I killed the shooters. Thor helped Cap up, making sure he's okay.


"You ready for the next lot?"


"What you getting sleepy?" I laugh quietly putting my katana back into it's hold on my back.


"I can close it, can anyone copy? I can shut the portal down." Oh my god.


"Do it!"


"No wait."


"Stark, these things are still coming."


"I got a nuke coming in, it's going to blow in less than a minute. And I know just were to put it." 


"Stark, you know that's a one way trip." 


We watched as Tony disappeared with the nuke into the portal. Suddenly all the aliens shut down. He did it. 


"Close it." I looked down. 


"Son of a gun." I then looked back up with hope that I would see Tony, and I did.


"He's not slowing down." Thor said readying his hammer to fly but the hulk beat him to it. We ran over to him and I ripped off his face mask. He didn't look alive but when Hulk roared it brought him back. 


"Ah! What just happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me."


"We won."


"Alright, yey! Alright good job guys, lets not come in tomorrow. Lets take a day. You ever tried shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about a block from here. I don't know what it is but I wanna try it."


"We're not finished yet."


"Oh yeah, Loki. I wonder if he can move yet." I got a few confused looks. "Don't ask."




We watched as Loki crawled up into a sitting position. Clint raised his bow, pointing an arrow at Loki as Romanoff held his scepter. 


"If it's all the same to you, I'll have that drink now." Hulk huff and I smirked. 




We all watched as Loki and Thor were sent back to Asguard. Before they left I had explained myself to all the Avengers. How I live with a Japanese spirt inside of me, it all went down better than I expected really. I guess after seeing aliens and fighting a god, the supernatural wasn't that much of a shock for them. Besides, Thor already knew about it. 


I wasn't sure where I was going to go but as I got in my car, I drove away from my life with SHEILD, and into my one as an avenger. As Trickster.
