The Avengers: the story of Rising Storm

Unleashed

Alex rolled with Loki and kicked him away from her. She let out a snarl and cannoned in to his side. Loki fell, unbalanced and tripped. He kicked her off and she hit her head hard on the ground. She shook away the stars and attacked again, he may have the weapon but she was faster. With a spark of spirit she grabbed hold of his leg, pulled him off balance and swung him around in circles, with a cry of rage she let go and he was flung against the walls with a cough. He spat out a bloodied tooth and came at her with his staff. The staff knocked her off balance but she caught herself. He managed to get a hold on her throat in that moment of unbalance and held her on the ground by the throat. She struggled but couldn't breathe properly. Instead of panicking she decided to do whatever she had to to get free. She sunk her teeth in to his hand and he bowled in pain. He yanked his hand back but took her with it, she wasn't letting girl, she kicked him in the ribs and he yelled in even more pain until he was stumbling away from her.
" This is it over!" Loki howled as he disappeared.
Alex let out a sharp breath as she slumped to the ground, anaesthetic from her collar was coursing through her neck veins and she was truly out for the count. The anaesthetic kept coming, making sure she was definitely down. The fight and set it off. Alex's finally relented to the darkness that enfolded her vision.

Tony Stark knew they were in trouble when the ship dipped to one side.
" We're been attacked on too many sides! The ship can't take much more," Tony yelled urgently.
No one hear him, they were all too busy fighting Loki's men. This was a battle h needed help with. He tried to find Banner but he couldn't see him at all, he must of turned green yet.
" Jarvis, how long until the ship will plummet?" Tony asked through his face mask.
" About ten minutes, sir," Jarvis answered in his usual voice.
Tony knew that they needed help but he only and ten minutes to do something. He was already needed to fight here. With a sigh eh knew the answer. Fury wouldn't like it though, he supposed that would be answered later. Tony flew to the prison block, his suit easily navigating the endless corridors. When he reached the cells he saw chaos. Loki was gone, a huge hole was ripped in the side of the prison block and there was one other small problem, Alex's cell. Her glass cell walls were splattered with blood, there were signs of a fight, Loki must've gotten inside the cell. He looked inside and spotted Alex lying on the ground. Was she dead? Tony rushed forward and blasted open the cell walls and landed beside her. She was alive but definitely out for the count. She had a long scratch from her right shoulder to the middle finger, it was bleeding slowly, that scar would probably stay for life. Tony shook her hard.
" Hey kid, wake up! Time to get up!" Tony ordered loudly.
Alex didn't move. Tony didn't know what to do. He figured there was something he had to do that he had forgotten. Alex needed to help them. He suddenly realised what it was. Cautiously his touched the collar around her neck. He ripped it off and glanced at the large needle point on the inside of the collar. A hole where it had been was visible and Tony augured he would need to wake her up somehow. How did you wake up people? He kicked her softly in the ribs but she didn't move. Her kicked her harder and she snapped awake with a gasp for air. Her haze was foggy and she looked like she was half asleep.
" Hey kid, glad you're up. I need you to help save the ship," Tony informed.
Alex wasn't even looking at him, her head was getting lower and lower.
" Hey, wake up sleepyhead!" Tony snapped as he slapped her in the face.
Her eyes hardened as she awoke and she let out a hiss.
" Where's that slimeball Loki?" Alex growled with venom in her voice.
At least it wasn't him she was looking for.
" He's gone but I need you to keep the ship form attack until we are finished with the evil guys on board, can you do that?" Tony asked rapidly and urgently.
" Um, okay," Alex stuttered.
" Just let me suit up," she added with a wink.
She stood and held out her hand. A small cylinder of white flew in to her hands. She flicked her wrist and it became a long staff with a blue gem on top and Blue etchings in it. She snapped it in the middle and it became to silver swords. Blue light shimmered over her till she looked ready for battle.
She wore a black chain mail shirt with metal shoulder guards. She had a brown leather, Ancient Greek, looking battle skirt thing. Her black tights ended in brown leather boots. Her arms were twined with cream coloured rope that acted like a sort of arm guard. She strapped the silver swords to her back with a leather strap and and whipped out a beautiful shield. The shield was in two halves when it came to decoration. One half was a sun on a sunny day. The other side was a moon with actual twinkling stars. She unfurled her dark blue wings and took off out of the hole, ready to save the ship. Tony Stark just stared, wishing that he could get heated up that easily. Man, she looked ready for vengeance. He flew out behind her, ready to help her do what she could to save the prison she had been confined too. She flew around in a few circles, trying to configure a plan. Tony saw her face crease in concentration, what was she thinking about? He knew, deep down he knew that she was thinking about whether to even bother saving this place or not. It wasn't her fight, it was theirs. She didn't have to do this at all, she could run now, be free forever. Tony wouldn't hold her back if that's what she decided. She clearly knew that he was thinking the same thing. He looked at her, with her stunning eyes.
" I'm not leaving you. Not now, not ever. I will choose to put behind me the matter of Eliza. As much as I hate this, it is my duty to help protect my planet if at all possible," Alex answered his clear, but silent questions with her head high.
" You have a plan?" Tony asked hopefully.
" I do, but it is not one you'll like," Alex confided with an anxious glance.
Tony raised an eyebrow, even though she couldn't see it.
" I need you to stab the arc reactor in your chest. That will take care of the enemy air ships. I'll make sure you don't die, I have enough power left over from what I'm going to do to be able to keep you alive long enough for the ships to be taken care of. We'll both walk out of this, just wait for my signal, you won't miss it," Alex ordered.
She flapped her large wings and soared gracefully so that she was underneath the centre of the helicarrier. Her cloak flapped in the wind, the stars twinkling brightly. She looked like royalty, courage shining in her eyes. Tony sighed, this was the only way, he knew it and she knew it too. He heard an inhuman sounding howl, he figured that if that wasn't the signal then nothing was.
" Here goes nothing," Tony muttered as he pulled out a dagger form his suit and plunged it in to his arc reactor.
Instantly he felt searing pain race through him. He let out a yell of pain and gasped for breath. Bluish white light poured from his chest. He could feel his vision going until suddenly his vision restored perfectly. He felt so strong that he could lift a mountain and throw it. He felt so fast he could run on water. He felt so smart that he could cure anything. He felt amazing! He flew forward, aiming his power at the enemy ships. The light cut a line straight through each ship, red rimming the edges from the scalding hot metal. The ships fell in blazing balls of fire, parts beaming off. Tony was spun off balance as a piece of debris hit him hard. He spun so that the energy coming off his suit accidentally seared off the end of Alex's cloak.
" Hey! Watch where you're pointing that power!" Alex snapped.
A blue layer of energy was rippling around the ship and the ship was being lifted up. The engines were offline and the ship was dipping towards the water. Tony couldn't believe his eyes, Alex, a thirteen year old girl, was lifting the entire air ship, not just that but her protective force field made sure it didn't receive any more damage.
" Tony! I can't hold it much longer!" Alex yelled in panic.
Her face was beaded with sweat and blood trickled out of the side of her mouth. Her eyes were wide with panic but Tony couldn't let her stop.
" You have to keep going! You can't shut off on me or the ship or there'll be trouble," Tony yelled in reply.
" I'll try," Alex snapped loudly through clenched teeth.
Tony flew around, the enemy ships being carved in half.
" Sir, Alex's power on you is weakening," Jarvis reported.
" I can't stop yet, the mother ship is still active," Tony growled back.
" Sir, if you don't stop soon you'll die, her power is weakening as we speak," Jarvis argued.
" Alex! I need you to put everything you have in to this and focus on helping me defeat the mothership," Tony barked.
" I'm trying! I can't keep my power under control if I go harder!" Alex grunted back, her eyes narrowed in concentration.
" Then I think it's time you were unleashed," Tony suggested.
" Are you crazy? I can't unleash my power any more or we could both die!" Alex exclaimed in shock.
" We won't die! I have faith in you Alex, ever since I met you you've proved to me that you are stronger than you look. Don't fail me now kid, give me just short of everything you've got and don't hold back too much," Tony advised her with hope in his voice.
" Fine but you have to explain to Nick Fury," Alex grumbled.
Tony waited for what seemed ok eternity but it was really only a few seconds. Alex's eyes widened and became full of panic and she tensed. She let out a savage, blood chilling cry of pain, rage and anger. The mother ship exploded with a huge bang, lightning sizzled along the debris. Enemy ships went down, crashing awkwardly to the ground. The helicarrier gained height and started to coast along like normal, the engines improved at the same time as been fixed. The force field widened, crushing the remaining enemy spitfires until all of Loki's men were gone. All the evil men on the ship clutched their hearts and fell dead to the ground. They had won but the small form of Alex was looking faint.
