The Younger Agent - Natasha Romanoff x OC

Chapter 31 - A Bit Of A Tumble

Just as the group had united and thought there was some semblance of control, another hoard of leviathans came soaring through the hole in the sky.

Eleanor just stared at them unsure of how to react. Sure, the Hulk had finished off one of them, but she wasn't sure whether or not the group would be able to put a stop to all of them before they did significant damage to the city. Plus, they shot out more Chitauri, which wasn't ideal.

"Guys", Nat drew the other's attention to the fleet of giant metal worms as some of them had their backs to it.
"Call it, Captain". Eleanor was shocked at hearing Stark give Cap control but was quickly brought back to the present.

"All right, listen up, until we can close that portal our priority is 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". Seemed like a pretty good plan so far, except for the not being able to close the portal aspect.

"Can you give me a lift?", Barton turned to Stark.
"Right, better clench up Legolas". Eleanor let out a short and loud laugh at the nickname, making Clint turn to her and send her an eye roll before being lifted into the air. 

Cap continued laying out the plan, "Thor, you got to try and bottleneck that portal. Slow them down. You got the lightning, light the bastards up". They then watched as Thor flew away, except for Nat who seemed to be staring at something, though Eleanor wasn't quite sure what.

The Captain then turned to Eleanor, "I want your main focus to be on civilian control, El. You see any stragglers you get them to safety. You see any aliens, you send them to hell". 

She nodded, "Got it". Natasha wasn't particularly enthusiastic at the idea of her girlfriend running around on her own but she had to suck it up and put sentiments behind her.

Eleanor grabbed a hold of Nat's hand and squeezed it, "Stay safe". Nat nodded and whispered, "You too", as she watched her run away before the Captain gave their orders of staying on the ground keeping the army at bay.

Eleanor sprinted down the street, listening for signs of people struggling and shooting at Chitauri that were running in her direction, luckily the civilians seemed to have removed themselves from the centre of the fight, but she sensed that there would be some people struggling to get away a bit further along. 

Her suspicions were proved to be correct when she rounded a corner. A woman and her child were hiding under an overturned car. She sighed as she bolted towards them.

Kneeling down she made sure that they were physically okay to move and cringed slightly when an explosion went off nearby and scared the child. "Hey buddy it's okay, I'm gonna get you out of here okay?", she cooed whilst gently rubbing the child's shoulder. When she was about to order the woman to stand up she suddenly screamed in Eleanor's face, making her jump out of her skin. 

"What's wrong?", she sped out wondering what the hell this lady's problem was.
"Behind you", the woman frantically replied as she clutched her child closer to her.

Eleanor turned just as a Chitauri was swinging their staff at her, luckily she managed to duck and the blade of the staff hit the air where her head would have been. She jumped onto her feet to try and get them away from the people under the car and saw that there was more stalking towards her. 

Dodging another attack, she started shooting at them whilst shouting orders towards the civilians, "You two need to run, carry on down the street and about a block away there'll be some stationed cops, they will get you away from the area, I will be right behind you". The woman stared at her seemingly horrified at this idea but got up carrying her child, and ran in the direction that Eleanor told her to.
