21 Breaking And Entering

A month or two had now gone by and soon, we were all on the move to retrieve Loki's stolen scepter.

"Move it!"

I flew in alongside Thor as we took out the guards. I sent energy blasts every which way and even changed the game so that a few of them would help us.

I followed after Steve as we tried to get into HYDRA's base.

Looking up, I watched as Tony flew up first trying to get in, only he was thrown back by the protective barrier, "Shit!"

I rolled my eyes only for a smile to appear when Steve shook his head, "Language."

Flying up by him, I raised a brow and he only pulled a childish stunt and stuck out his tongue as I took out the obstacles in his path.

After a moment, he gave me the signal and I sent an energy wave behind him as all the guards and soldiers fell to their knees.

"Jarvis, what's the view from upstairs? "

"The central building is protected by some kind of energy shield. Strucker's technology is well beyond any HYDRA base we've ever seen."

I looked up to see Thor fly over my head as he looked down, "Eriksen, isn't energy stuff in your realm of expertise?"

"I wouldn't know, I'm still trying to figure out my new abilities. Oh, which reminds me, thank your father."

He rolled his eyes and took out more opponents as I received a general satisfactory cheer over the comms.

"I like your humor, Katerina."

"Why, thank you, Clint."

I followed Steve up the hill and took a sharp turn, taking out the next group as Thor fell back and fought on the ground, "Loki's scepter must be here. Strucker couldn't mount this defense without it. At long last."

Rolling my eyes, I sent another wave, taking out the cannons in action, as Natasha ran past me, "'At long last' is lasting a little long, boys."

"I have to say, I agree with Nat here."

"Shove off, Katerina."

"And to think that you just said you liked me, Clint. I'm quite hurt."

"I said your humor, but yeah, I would have to agree, I think we lost the element of surprise."

"Wait a second. No one else is going to deal with the fact that Cap just said, 'language'?"

I let out a laugh and turned to Steve, "I knew Tony would bring it up."

"I know," I watched as Steve threw his motorbike over his head taking out another group of firearms, "It just slipped. I've been hanging around with Kat for too long."

I looked back at him and sent an energy surge his way, "Hey, you started it from when we were kids. Don't try and blame it on me."

"Right, of course, your royal highness."

I smirked and nodded giving him a bow, "Thank you."

Turning towards the incoming guards I held out my arms sending another ice blue energy wave before tripping and running into Steve, pushing him to the ground, "Oops."

He picked us up and then rolled his eyes as we made our way further up the hill. I looked over my shoulder to see Clint being approached and turned around, "Clint, behind you!"

He grabbed an arrow and shot it only for it to deflect. I looked closer and furrowed my brows as I watched a taller man run around.

He ran around Clint for a moment before knocking him over, "Kat, let's go."

"Wait, Steve, there's a man rushing towards Clint."

Steve looked out and saw nothing, shaking his head, "What man?"

I looked around before my eyes widened, "The one headed straight for us!"

I ducked and moved but Steve wasn't quick enough and flew into the air as he then landed on his feet, "What was that?"

"The man with silver hair."

"What?"
