Black Rose- Tabitha Stark

SEVEN

I listen into the conversation the Nat and Steve are having as I check up on Clint in the restroom.

"Time to go" He tells her, making me glance at Clint with raised eyebrows.

"Go where?" She questions him.

"I'll tell you on the way. Can you fly on of those jets" Whit him saying that. Both me and Clint walk out of the restroom making him look towards the pair of us.

"He can." I say to him, pointing at Clint.

"You got a suit?" He asks Clint.

"Yeah." He states.

"Then suit up." He says, walking out of the room. We all glance at each other and Clint enters the bathroom, while I grab every weapon I own, looking at my oldest dagger for a second longer. I'm brought back when Clint steps out of the restroom and is fully suited and ready to go. He looks to me and notices what is in my hand at that moment, I just nod and we set off. We walk out and catch up to him and make out way to one of the jets.

"You are not authorized to be in here..." An agent says to us.

"Son... just don't" Steve says to him, making the agent quickly exit the jet.

🥀

I fly out of the jet, just as lands onto the outside of the penthouse and his suit is being removed. I land next to him and walk a bit him as we make our way to the bar, with Loki smiling at us and holding his scepter in his hands.

"Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity." He asks us.

"Uh...actually, we're planning to threaten you." Tony says, gesturing to us both.

"You should have left your armor on for that." As he point it at us.

"Yeah, it's seen a bit of mileage. You've got the blue stick of destiny. Would you like a drink?" I ask, picking two glasses.

"Stalling me won't change anything." Loki states.

"No, no, no! Threatening. No drink? You sure? We're having one." Tony says, as I hand him his drink.

"The Chitauri are coming, nothing will change that. What have I to fear?" He points out to us.

"The Avengers." I say, making him look at us both with a confused look on his face and Tony continues.

"It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. 'Earths mightiest Heroes' type of thing." He says, sipping at his drink.

"Yes, I've met them."

We both smile and Tony starts to talk again, "Yeah, takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But, let's do a head count here. Your brother, the demi-God; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; three of the most deadly master assassins, one of which is an enhanced, also a Stark and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them." He says.

"That was the plan." He states, smiling.

"Not a great plan. When they come, and they will, they'll come for you." I inform him. I watch as Tony places homing device bracelets onto his wrist. I smile to myself, knowing he's planned this.

"I have an army." He says, making me eye roll.

"We have a Hulk." I snap back.

"I thought the beast had wandered off." He says.

"You're missing the point. There's no throne, there is no version of this, where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you. Because if we can't protect the Earth, you can be damned well sure we'll avenge it." Tony says, his voice rising in anger as he makes his way towards Loki, while I stay back watching everything unfold.

"How will your friends have time for me, when they're so busy fighting you?" He says, placing the scepter onto Tony's chest. But nothing works. He tries again, but still nothing making Him confused.

"It should work." He says, looking at his scepter.

"Well, performance issues. You know? Not uncommon. One out of five..." Tony says, only to get grabbed by his throat and Loki fling his across the room. "

"Jarvis. Anytime now." He mumbles. Only to be picked up by the throat again.

"You will all fall before me." He says throwing Tony out of the window, I follow in pursuit. On my walk I spot a red pod shoot out from the window above. I move out of the way so the suit can latch onto him, when it does we both fly back up to where Loki is.

"And there's one other person you pissed off!" Tony says, firing up his blasters.

"His name was Phil." I finish. Loki raises his scepter to fire but we were both quick and shot him, making him fall to the ground. We fly off as the portal opens and all the Chitauri spills out, flying round and causing chaos on the city below.

"Right, Army." I mumble and make my way to the ground to help out both Clint and Nat.
