Avengers first Assemble

Previously

Steve waited looking expectantly at him, "....Son of-a-bitch", Tony said and rushed out with Steve, "He wants the Stark tower", he said.

Now

They suited up and left to the Stark tower a little late after Tony already went there to see an army coming through the sky.

Tony went to talk with Loki, "Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity", Loki said, "Uh- actually, I'm planning to threaten you", Tony said.

"You should have left your armor on for that", Loki said, "Yeah, it's seen a bit of mileage. You've got the uh- blue stick of destiny. Would you like a drink?", Tony asked walking towards the bar.

There was a picture of him and Steve there and he smiled at that, "Stalling me won't change anything", Loki said snapping Tony out of the memory.

"No, no, no- threatening. No drink? You sure? I'm having one", he said pouring him one, "The Chitauri are coming, nothing will change that. What have I to fear?", Loki asked looking outside.

"The Avengers", he said and Loki looked at him confused, "It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. 'Earth's Mightiest Heroes' type of thing", Tony explained.

"Yes, I'm met them", Loki said and Tony smiled, "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;", Tony said pausing as he wore his bracelets.

"A super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them", Tony said walking towards Loki.

"That was the plan", Loki said, "Not a great plan. When they come, and they will, they'll come for you", Tony said.

"I have an army", Loki said, "We have a Hulk", Tony countered back, "Oh, I thought the beast had wandered off", Loki said.

"Yeah- 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. 'Cause if we can't protect the earth, you can be damned well sure we'll avenge it", Tony said and Loki tried to control Tony and failed.

Soon the fight started and Loki's army came through when Nat announced their arrival, "What, did you stop for drive-thru? Swing that park, I'm gonna lay 'em out for you", Tony said.

They all started fighting and Steve saw a giant Leviathan coming through, "Tony, are you seeing this?", Steve asked.

"Seeing. still working on believing...", Tony said, "...Where's Banner? Has he shown up yet?", he asked.

"Banner?", Steve asked, "Just keep me posted", Tony said and they continued fighting, Nat, Clint and Steve on the ground.

Tony in the air and Thor with Loki who stabbed him, they all met on the ground except Tony, they killed many but double as that were still coming.

"What's the story upstairs?", Steve asked, "The power surrounding the cube is impenetrable", Thor said.

"Thor is right, we gotta deal with these guys", Tony said through the earpiece, "How do we do this?", Nat asked.

"As a team", Steve said, "I have unfinished business with Loki", Thor said, "Oh yeah! Get in line", Clint said readying his arrows.

"Save it. 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 to-", he broke off as Bruce came.

"So, this all seems horrible", he said, "I've seen worse", Nat said, "Sorry", Bruce said, "No, we could- use a little worse", she said.

"Tones, we got him", Cap said in the earpiece, "Banner?", Tony asked, "Just like you said", Steve said.

"Then tell him to suit up. I'm bringing the party to you", Tony said and directed the Leviathan to where the others were.

"I don't see how that's a party", Nat stuttered, "Doctor Banner, now might be a really good time for you to get angry", Steve said.

Bruce smiled at him, "That's my secret, Cap. I'm always angry", he said and turned to hulk and they stand together after killing the Leviathan.

They saw more coming, "Guys?", Nat said, "Call it, Cap", Tony said, "Alright, listen up. Until we can close that portal up there, we're gonna use 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", Steve said.

"Wanna give me a lift?", Clint asked Tony, "Right. Better clench up, Legolas", Tony said and flew away with Clint.

"Thor! You gotta try and bottle neck that portal, slow 'em down. You got the lightning, light the bastards up", Steve said.

"You and me, we stay here on the ground, keep the fighting here. And Hulk!", he said to Nat and turned to hulk.

"Smash!", he finished off and hulk went off smashing aliens and they continued fighting and Nat went to the top of the tower.

She with the help of Selvig learned that the scepter can close the portal while Tony learned that there was a missile heading towards Manhattan.

"How long?", he asked, "Three minutes. Max. Stay load can wipe out mid-town", he said and Tony headed towards the direction the missile was coming from.

"I can close it. Can anybody copy? I can shut the portal down!", Nat said through the comms, "Do it!", Steve said.

"No, wait", Tony said, "Tony, these things are still coming!", Steve said, "I got a nuke coming in, it's gonna blow in less than a minute", Tony said.

"And I know just where to put it", Tony said picking the missile and Steve felt his heart stop, "Tony no, you know that's a one way trip", he choked.

"Save the rest for the turn J", Tony said, "Sir, shall I connect Captain Rogers privately?", Jarvis asked.

"Might as well", he said, "Tones?", Steve asked as he felt a difference in his comms, "Hey Stevie, I know this is sudden, but...", his voice broke.

"I love you Steve Rogers and the past three months... three months I spent everyday with you were the best days in my life", he said.

"Baby, don't, you are not dying on me, please", Steve said and the comms turned off as Tony flew through the space.

Steve waited expectantly to Tony to come back, but he didn't and Thor told him to close the portal.

"Do it", he told Nat and Nat did and Tony fell out of the closed portal, "Son of a gun", Steve said a tear dropping out of his eyes from a relief.

Hulk carefully bought down Tony and laid him on the floor and they saw Tony unconscious, Hulk's roar woke him up.
