Chapter 13- Battle of the Chitauri

💫

A/n: Meant to upload Saturday, was out all night. Sunday, Mothers Day. Here we are on Monday! Please please please vote on the poll on the chapter where I reviewed Infinity War. Anyways, enjoy!

~*~

The entire ride to the city (Y/n) was twisting the ring on her finger, no doubt cleaning the inner rim thoroughly through her nervous movement. As the quinjet approached, (Y/n) could see the Chitauri already invading.

"Stark, we're heading north east," Nat reported.

"What, did you stop for drive-thru? Swing up park, I'm gonna lay 'em out for you."

Tony flew by with a small amount of Chitauri following him. Nat dropped the guns and began to shoot the aliens.

Clint turned the ship and began to fly towards Stark Tower. Loki aimed the scepter at the jet and let out a shot, taking out one of the engines. The jet spun slowly, crashing to the ground.

(Y/n) was the first to exit the ship, looking up at Stark Tower where Loki was staying. She would take ou tas many Chitauri as she could while trying to get to Loki.

When the team exited the ship everything seemed to stop. A deep, primal rage bellowed out. A large shadow overcame the group as they looked up. A creature that could only be described as a flying Leviathan flew out of the portal. On top of the creature was hundreds of soldiers.

The soldiers jumped from the creature, attaching themselves to the sides of buildings and shooting at innocent civilians.

"Stark, are you seeing this?" Steve asked.

"I'm seeing, still working on believing. Where's Banner? Has he shown up yet?"

"Banner?"

"Just keep me posted," Tony sighed.

(Y/n) drew her sword, looking around them and creating a plan. (Y/n) drew her sword and stepped to the edge of the bridge. She was ready to jump onto the road below before Clint calling her name stopped her.

"(Y/n), you can call me Clint."

(Y/n) smiled brightly. It was polite to call those around her by their last names until they were given permission to call them otherwise. She had to be sophisticated to fit in with the royal family after all.

"Thank you."

(Y/n) jumped down to the street below. She immediately lunged at a few Chitauri around her, either fatally injuring them or killing them entirely. Steve followed after her, talking to the police for a few moments before returning to the battle.

(Y/n) spotted a bus full of people trying to gain refuge from the aliens. She waved her hand and summoned her shield, using it to pry open the doors.

"Everyone you must leave now, go into a basement or a subway!" She ordered.

As the people flooded out of the vehicle and onto the street Steve and (Y/n) worked together to make sure none of the Chitauri hurt the people.

"Are you an angel?" A little boy she was helping out asked.

"I'm Asgardian," (Y/n) corrected, "Now go to your mother."

(Y/n) glanced up at Stark Tower. She had to pick up her pace if she was going to make it up there before all of this was over.

"What's the story upstairs?" Steve asked Thor as he landed near the pair.

"The powers surrounding the cube is impenetrable."

"Thor is right. We gotta deal with these guys."

"How do we do this?" Nat questioned.

"As a team."

"I must get to Loki as soon as possible," (Y/n) stated.

"Might have to wait. 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 stopped talking as Banner neared the small group on a motorbike. Getting off and putting on the brake he looked around the city and the destruction that had been caused.

"So, this all seems horrible."

"You should have seen our battle on Jotunheim, what a failure that was," (Y/n) chuckled.

"Stark? We got him."

"Then tell him to suit up. I'm bringing the party to you."

Iron Man flew out from behind a building, a Chitauri Leviathan following behind him in an attempt to most likely eat him.

"I...I don't see how that's a party," Nat said in confusion.

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

"That's my secret, Captain. I'm always angry."

Banner walked towards the alien, changing into the Hulk in the way and destroying the creature's face. (Y/n) ducked under her shield as scrapage from the creatures armor fell around them.

From above, thousand of Chitauri flew into the city. (Y/n) looked up in annoyance.

"Dear gods Loki, you could at least try harder to gain control," she grumbled, singing background and slicing a Chitauri soldier across the stomach.

"Cap? Wanna call it?"

"If I may, Captain, you may know this city but I know war," (Y/n) turned to Steve, "Clint, take the skies, Steve, Nat, work down here, I'll make my way to Loki. Tony, keep them contained in the sky. Thor, slow them down before the can even reach the city. I'll make my way to Loki and put an end to all of this. Hulk...Well do what you do best I suppose."

The team broke up into their sections, ready to defend the city, and potentially the Earth, with their lives. It seems as though their fighting was over now that there was a clear, common enemy.

(Y/n) sliced and diced her way through the Chitauri on the ground, occasionally taking one out in the sky with a bit of magic to help her.

She reached Stark Tower, easily walking through the front doors on the ground floor. You'd think the building would be more guarded than that.

She walked to what she presumed was the elevator, pressing the button for the highest floor.

"Authorization is required for access to the penthouse."

"Tony's computer friend, thing, it is I, (Y/n)."

"Tony has a preset identification: Powerhouse. Approved."

"I wonder when Stark had the time to do that," (Y/n) asked herself as the elevator began to slowly climb the floor.

In the time it took to reach the top, (Y/n) had cleaned off her sword and shield, partially shined her armor, and thought of ideas for her wedding vows. It was a surprisingly peaceful time compared to the battle she knew must be going on outside.

"Loki," (Y/n) yelled as soon as the doors opened.

"Oh, love, how wonderful to see you. Have you come for forgiveness?' Loki questioned.

"I've come to kick your ass," (Y/n) growled. She had already picked up colorful language from the Midgardians it seemed, "Natasha brought Clint back that way. I thought I could do the same with you."

"No more pleading for my sanity?" Loki smirked. He held out his scepter and let out a shot.

(Y/n) held out her shield, letting it take the blow. Taking a page out of Captain America's book she threw her shield in Loki's direction, hitting his arm and causing him to drop his scepter. (Y/n)'s hands glowed red and she was ready to advance on him before he jumped off the edge of the roof.

Worried, (Y/n) ran forward, sighing in relief when she saw Loki on a cruiser. She had feared the worst for a few moments. Though a fall from this height wasn't likely to kill an Asgardian, it could seriously injure them.

(Y/n) looked up at the machine powering the portal and down at Loki's scepter. The two were connected. They had to be.

She grabbed the scepter, despite her instincts telling her to avoid the vile weapon at all costs. She took a flight of service stairs up to the highest level of the building, nearly runnin ginto Selvig as he came back to reality.

"Erik, are you alright?"

"I can't believe I did this!" He put his hands on his head.

"Tell me how to stop it dear friend," (Y/n) nearly begged.

"I built in a failsafe. The scepter can destroy the center, it will close the portal."

(Y/n) pressed a finger to the com in her ear.

"Everyone, while Loki got away, I have found a way to close the portal.

"I watched the Hulk take care of him. He won't be moving anytime soon," Nat assured.

"I'm carrying a nuke ready to destroy the city. Powerhouse, keep that portal open, understand?"

"You must hurry Stark."

(Y/n) pushed the point of the scepter passed the shield surrounding the main power of the portal. She watched anxiously as Tony flew the deadly Midgardian missile into the portal. She wouldn't close the portal until he got out. She couldn't. Not after how valiantly he had fought.

"Close it."

(Y/n) sighed sadly. She knew if she waited any longer more Chitauri reinforcements could enter the city. Swiping the scepter she knocked the power out of place, closing the portal.

(Y/n) spotted a small figure fall from the portal, hurtling towards the Earth. She grinned happily. Tony had fallen through just in time. The luck of that man was unbelievable.

"Selvig, take the elevator down, there will be people to help you there," (Y/n) assured, putting hand on her friend's shoulder, "What you did wasn't you. I hope you can understand that what Loki did wasn't him either."

Selvig went ahead of (Y/n), taking one of the two elevators down to the streets below. (Y/n) walked over to Loki, sitting next to him on the step as he tried to recover from the beating he had received form the Hulk.

"Are you my Loki?"

"If I say yes will you not hit me, darling?"

(Y/n) grinned, laughing happily. Cognitive recalibration. Who knew?

"You will pay for your crimes," (Y/n)'s smile left her face, "I will speak of your innocence and of the control you were put under but-"

"No, don't," Loki sighed, "The Allfather already thought me weak. Him knowing I was able to be controlled would extend that."

"Loki-"

"Darling please, I will not be forgiven either way."

(Y/n) nodded in agreement. She heard one of the elevator ding and looked over to see the Avengers in all of their hero glory. They made a formation around Loki, ready to attack if he tried anything.

"If it's all the same to you. I'll have that drink now."

~*~

(Y/n) stepped out of the SHIELD provided truck that brought her to the agreed upon meeting spot for the Avengers. Her and Thor had spent the last week communicating with the council of safety on what could be done better for the future and what they planned to do with Loki and the cube. Now, they were ready to go home.

"Farewell Selvig," (Y/n) hugged the man, "I hope we meet again in the future. Goodbye Avengers, I'm sure we shall all come together again."

(Y/n) grabbed the Tesseract from Tony, holding it out for Loki and Thor to take.

As they put their hands on the device (Y/n) twisted her end, sending them back into space.
Back to Asgard more specifically, where Loki would be tried for his crimes, and punished, harshly most likely.

It was a fate worse than death for (Y/n), knowing Loki was being punished for things outside of his control.
