   I quickly move to the right, dodging a blast, slightly stumbling. Me and the other Avengers were infiltrating another Hydra base. Technically it was my first one, my first mission I was allowed on. We were on the search for Loki's scepter, something I didn't necessarily want to find but knew was important. Dangerous in the hands of the enemy. My dad had finally finished my suit after a lot of procrastination. It was made out of skin-tight cloth, covering my entire body – minus my hands, a mask connecting to the suit whenever I put it on so that no one knows it's me. My hands are free allowing me to use my powers easier. It's mostly black with some lines of purple leading down my arms and legs. JARVIS is connected into my suit giving me more features, even though my power comes through me. My dad calls it Energy Manipulation. I can basically move things, make force fields, stuff like that with this purple energy that is literally flowing through my body. It's a long story.

I fly behind my dad, who's in his iron-man suit, remembering how he told me to stay with him. We fly towards the big castle -like- building where the scepter supposedly is. I shoot anything that shoots at me, trying to conserve my energy. Purple energy consumes me as I weave in and out of the trees. When we get closer to the building, we get fired at by explosives... I'm pretty sure. Or at least they explode in the air, so that's what I would call explosives. The two of us swerve as to not be hit and keep going towards the castle. We get really close when—

'Shit!' my dad said as he bounces off the blue barrier protecting the castle. I stop right before I hit it too and follow my dad off to the side of the building.

'Language!' Cap said over the coms. 'JARVIS, what's the view from upstairs?'

'The central building is protected by some kind of energy shield,' said JARVIS. 'Strucker's technology is well beyond any other Hydra base we've taken.'

I keep following my dad around the building as Thor says, 'Loki's scepter must be here. Strucker couldn't mount this defense without it. At long last.'

'At long last is lasting a little long, boys,' Nat said, sounding out of breath. I grunt slightly in agreement as I swerve being blown out of the sky.

Clint says, 'Yeah. I think we lost the element of surprise.'

  I shoot at some of the men on the ground with my dad. 'Wait a second. No one else is going to deal with the fact Cap just said "language"?'

'I know,' Cap said. 'It just slipped out.'

I smirk as I continue dodging blasts while trying to keep pace with my dad. There was a lot of commotion and I was having too many close calls.

'The city is taking fire,' JARVIS said.

'Well, we know Strucker's not going to worry about civilian casualties,' dad said. 'Send in the Iron legion.'

'We have an enhanced on the floor!' Cap said.

'Clint's hit,' Nat informs us. 'Somebody want to deal with that bunker?' There was silence and then a 'Thank you.' Hulk probably.

'We really need to get inside,' Cap said.

'We're closing in,' dad said as we land in front of some soldiers. We overpower them in seconds. 

'JARVIS, are we...closing in? Do you see a power source for that shield?'

JARVIS scans the building. 'There's a pathway below North Tower.'

'Great. I want to poke it with something.'

I roll my eyes, taking back off into the sky right after my dad. We get above the building and he shoots a missile from his suit. About a second later the energy shield collapses.
