Alien Invasion

---

After a few moments, they were all ready.

Natasha tried multiple times to convince Will to sit this one out, but he continued to refuse, not wanting to leave her. Not wanting to be left alone again.

Together, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Will (He really needed a superhero name, he feels left out) all walked to one of the jets.

As they stepped on board, a man who was working on it saw them and tried to stop them by saying, "Hey, you guys aren't authorised to be in here."

However, Rogers cut him down, "Son, just don't."

With that they pushed him out of the jet and closed the door, not before Will yelled a quick apology to him.

Both Clint and Natasha headed for the cockpit while Steve and Will sat in the back, getting ready for take-off.

"Will." Said man turned to Steve, who had called his name, "You alright? You seem pretty shaken up before."

Will sent him a sad smile, "Not really, but I'm sure I will be fine."

Rogers returned his smile and gently patted his shoulder, "Well, if you need anything, you could always ask me."

"Thank you, Steve." Will was glad that the Captain didn't ask for any more information but offered support instead.

As soon as their conversation ended, the engine to the Jet fired up and they were soon in the air, following after Iron Man, who decided to go on ahead.

It took a few minutes for them to reach the Stark Tower. Will looked out the window and felt his breathing pick up, he was not ready for this. Not ready for a hole to open in the sky and for aliens to invade. He needed his brother.

"Stark, we're on your three, headed northeast."

"What? Did you stop for drive-through? Swing up Park. I'm gonna lay them out for you."

Natasha follow his intrusions, and when Tony flew past them, a few aliens followed him. Natasha activated the gun and shot at them, making them fall out of the sky.

Barton and Romanoff worked together to fly to the top of the Stark Tower and shoot at anything that come in their way.

"Nat?"

"I see him."

Steve and Will stood behind the two and watched as Loki fought with his brother, Thor. Will was glad to see him alright. He was just wondering where his brother was.

Natasha fired at Loki, but it didn't seem to bother him as he powered up his staff and shot at the jet, hitting the left engine, making it explode.

Will let out a shout as he was thrown to the side, his back smacking the wall.

The two pilots tried to gain control of the jet but failing.

Steve grabbed Will by the arm and told him to hold onto the bars in the ceiling.

The jet continued to hit the side of buildings until it crashed onto the floor, a while away from the Tower. Natasha and Clint were quick to unbuckle themselves and open the door. Steve getting out first, followed by Clint.

Natasha, however, saw Will lying on the floor and helped him up. She could hear him moaning and groaning in pain.

"I should have stayed behind."

She laughed at that, "Yes, you should have. Come on, we got to go." She said, helping him out of the broken jet and handed him a gun.

All four of them ran out, "We got to get back up there." The Captain called out, heading toward the tower.

They continued to run in that direction but stopped once they heard a loud mechanical growl. Looking up at the hole in the sky, they saw a huge creature fly out, roaring as it went. Will shuddered at the sound.

They watched as it flew over their heads, ejecting aliens onto the side of buildings.

"How the hell are we going to fight that?! All I know is how to shoot a gun!" Will yelled, starting to freak out.

Without looking, her eyes still stuck to the big creature, Natasha reached down and laced her fingers with Will, knowing it would make him calm down.

While he wasn't calm, he wasn't freaking out anymore.

"Stark, are you seeing this?"

"Seeing. Still working on believing. Where's big Banner? Has he shown up yet?"

Before they entered the jet, Natasha had given Will an earpiece, so they could keep in contact. He decided to use it, "No, Tony. He-he isn't here."

"I'm sure he will show up soon, little guy. Just keep me posted."

The four of them then ran forward, and hid behind an abandoned Taxi, "We've got civilians trapped."

Steve looked over at the railing next to them and saw the aliens shooting and blow up cars where people were running away.

"They're fish in a barrel down there." Rogers said but before he could continue an alien used its weird gun to shoot at him.

Natasha responded by shooting back at them. Clint moved to hide behind another car.

The red head looked over at her Captain, "We got this. It's good. Go."

Steve looked over at Clint, "Do you think you can hold them off?"

"Captain," Barton said to him, while clicking a button on his bow, "It would be my genuine pleasure."

With that, he stood up and released an arrow into an alien's head. Will watched amazed as it somehow took out another two aliens.

The assassins and the doctor worked together to distract the aliens, so Rogers could jump over the railing and get to the people.

However, Will was too shaky to be able to do a damaging shot. Looking over to the side he saw, some people trapped inside a bus. Looking back at the aliens and his friends, he thought that they would be fine without him for now. He ran over to a broken window and helped the people there get out.

The people inside the bus were shouting and while he tried to quiet them down, he failed. So instead of doing that, he went over to the door and tried to open it. Noticing there were no buttons, he pulled the doors open, letting the people run out.

Turning back to his friends, he re-tried to shoot and hit a target but each time it didn't work.

Natasha thought this was a good moment to bring back memories, "Just like Budapest all over again."

"You and I remember Budapest very differently."

"Wait, what happened in Budapest?" Will questioned. They both ignored him.

The two assassins got out from behind cover and started to attack the aliens, while Will tried and failed to shoot them.

Suddenly, there was a thud behind him. He turned, expecting to see an alien ready to shoot him. But instead it was that man. The man he shot on the Helicarrier, he was there. His pale skin and dull eyes. Will froze. How? How was he there?

Will's breathing started to pick up and his forehead started to become wet with sweat.

He took a step back and the man took one forward.

Will flinched as he heard a bullet pass by his head and hit the man in front of him. But he wasn't the man anymore, he was another alien. The alien growl and fell to the floor dead.

"Will!" he flinched again. Turning, he saw Natasha to his right holding a gun. She was the one who shot the alien, "Will, you have to pay attention, okay?"

He gave her a shaky nod, which made her smile warmly at him before turning back and punching the closest alien.

Will noticed that Captain America had joined them again, and he started shooting at the aliens, this time hitting them, gaining confidence.

Suddenly, lightening came down from the sky, killing three aliens. The four of them looked up to see Thor fly down and land, almost falling but catching himself.

"What's the story upstairs?" Rogers asked the god.

"The power surrounding The Cube is impenetrable."

Over the com-link, Tony said, "Thor's right. We got to deal with these guys."

"How do we do that?" Will asked.

"As a team."

Thor then cut in, "I have unfinished business with Loki."

"Yeah?" Clint asked, while fixing his arrows, "Well, get in line."

"Save it." Captain ordered, "Loki's going to keep this fight focused on us, and that's what we need. Without him, these things could run wide. We got Stark up top. He's going to need us to-" Steve had started but was cut off by a sound of an old engine behind him.

Everyone looked in that direction. Will smiled widely, "Bruce!" He shouted running towards his brother. He waited until he got off the old motorcycle before hugging him tightly, making Bruce let out a small chuckle.

"You okay?" He whispered to his younger brother, frowning when he shook his head. He would have asked but he saw the others and decided to ask later.

Releasing his brother but still standing close, he looked at the others and said, "So, this all seems horrible."

"I've seen worse." Natasha said, looking over at the older brother.

Bruce looked guilty as he looked between her and his brother, "Sorry."

"No, we could use a little worse."

Will thought it would be best to inform Stark, so he said into the comm, "Tony, Bruce is here. Just like you said."

"See, Banner 2.0. I knew he would show up." He said, making Will smile. "Please tell big brother to suit up. I'm bringing the party to you."

As soon as he finished, Iron Man flew around the side of a building, and following him was one of though huge creature.

"I don't see how that's a party."

As Tony flew over their heads, Bruce turned around and stepped towards the creature coming straight to them.

"Bruce." Will said, scared for his brother but knowing that this has to happen, "You sure about this?"

"Now might be a really good time for you to get angry."

"That's my secret, Captain. I'm always angry." And with that, Bruce's skin rapidly turned green. He turned to face the creature, as it got closer, Bruce grew in height. When it was close enough, Bruce let the Hulk take complete control and punched the thing in the face.

Because of the speed of the creature the force pushed the Hulk backwards a few steps before he was able to push his feet into the ground.

The creature started to topple over. The Hulk noticed Will behind him and reached his big green hand towards him, grabbing him and keeping him close and away from any harm.

"Hold on!" Tony said, shooting a rocket into the creature after its hard shell peeled off.

Finally, the thing fell over the side of the rail and stopped moving. The other aliens saw this and screeched loudly.

The hulk roared in response, Clint got his bow ready, Thor tightened his grip on his hammer, Tony landed, Natasha reloaded her gun, Steve readjusted his shield, and Will stood there awkwardly.

"Guys." Natasha warned.

They looked up at the worm hole and saw more aliens and big creatures fly out of it.

"Call it, Captain."

"All right listen up. Until we can close that portal up there, our priority is containment. Barton, I want you on that roof. Eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays. Stark, 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?" Clint asked Tony.

"Right. Better clench up, Legolas."

And with that Tony grabbed Clint and took off.

"Thor, you got to try and bottleneck that portal. Slow them down. You got the lightning. Light the bastards up."

Thor swung his hammer and took off.

Rogers then turned to Natasha and Will, "Us three, we stay here on the ground. We keep the fighting here. And Hulk," At his name, The Hulk turned to the Captain, "Smash."

It smiled and was about to take off, but stopped and looked at Will, who smiled and said, "Go and have fun."

The Hulk smiled even more and jumped on the side of a buildings, smashing the aliens there.

Soon they were attacked. Natasha was pushed down on top of a car, the alien going to stab her, but Will charged forward, tackling it and taking it down. However, he didn't think this through as the alien used his weapon and dragged it across Will's back, making him let out a scream.

Natasha quickly recovered and took the weapon away from it and shot it. She then heard a thud behind her, turning she saw Captain America. Panting, she put it down and ran to Will, who was groaning in pain.

"You alright?" She asked while helping him stand, looking at the wound on his back, she winced at the blood, but gladly it didn't look too deep

"No, not really, but I will manage." Natasha clapped her hand on his shoulder, proud that he was being so brave.

"Steve," Will said, wincing as he moved forward, "None of this is going to mean anything with that portal still open."

"Our biggest guns couldn't touch it."

"Well, maybe it's not about guns." The female said.

"If you want to get up there, you're going to need a ride."

Will's eyes widened, "Wait, what?! No, you are not going up there."

Natasha ignored him and spotted a group of aliens on flying vehicles, "I got a ride." She said, walking away, so she can do a run up, "I could use a boost, though."

"No, Natasha."

"You sure about this?" Steve asked, looking over at Will, who is stood next to Natasha, trying to get her to change her mind.

"Yeah. It's gonna be fun."

"Natasha!" Will yelled, "You can't go up there, you could get hurt! What if Loki sees you and tries to kill you? What if-"

Natasha realised that she was running out of time, so she turned around to Will, put her hand on the back of his neck and pulled him forward, pressing their lips together.

It had only lasted for a few seconds before she pulled away and ran towards Steve, jumping on his shield and going up in the air when he pushed.

Rogers looked up and smiled as she was able to latch onto the speeding vehicle. However, Will didn't see any of this as he still had his eyes closed, shocked at what she had done but happy that she did, his heart was racing as he could almost still feel her soft lips against his. When he finally opened his eyes, he saw Steve smiling at him, making him blush and rub the back of his head, but Will returned the smile.

The moment was ruined, however, when a small group of aliens showed up.
