Violet Barnes

Attack

"First, we have to get Aunt Betty before Loki does," Bucky said. "Then we can start planning on how to get our friends out."

"Why do you need this... Aunt Betty person?" Volstagg asked. "Shouldn't you save your friends first? They're the ones that are in trouble!"

"Aunt Betty is like a mother to us," Bucky told him. "We want to save her before Loki takes her away too, so we can keep her somewhere safe until we get our friends back."

"I guess so...," Fandral said. "Whatever you want. This is your plan... I'm just here to help."

"Why don't you, Thor and your friends help us on this mission?" Violet said. "You all look like great warriors. We could use some help, because we don't know if we'll end up fighting Loki."

"Fighting Loki?" Fandral said. "Count me in!"

"Me too," Volstagg said. "I have a few things I'd like to say to him."

"Me as well," Hogun said.

"And me," Sif added.

They all looked at Thor. "I'm in," He nodded.

"But what if you are trapped somewhere, and we can't get to you and Loki's there?" Volstagg asked Violet.

"Uh... I can bend water," Violet said. "As long as I have water, I'll probably be alright."

"Bend water?" Volstagg said, and laughed.

"You don't believe me?" Violet wondered, a little hurt.

"Well... why don't you show us what you can do?" Fandral said, defending her a little.

He picked a pitcher full of water up, and pulled the lid off. He suddenly flung the water in Violet's direction. She lifted her hand, and caught the water in midair. The water seemed to stop as if time had stopped.

Thor's friends were amazed. "This can't be possible," Volstagg said.

"Thor can control lightning," Anthony said. "Why is it weird that Violet can control water?"

"Because... she's just a little girl," Volstagg said. "She can't fight Loki. I mean... look at her... she's too weak!"

Violet's face turned hot with anger, and Peter swore he saw steam coming out of her ears. "If you think I'm such a little weak girl... why don't you find out who I really am?"

Volstagg stood and laughed. "This'll be easy," He said, grabbing his ax.

Violet stood as well, and they moved to the side of the room so they would have room to fight. Violet got a big strand of water, and made it circle around her while she waited for him to attack.

"No, stop!" Bucky glared, making everyone look at him. "I'm not having Violet fight him, he has an ax. He could chop her arm off!"

"Or worse... her head," Hogun said.

Bucky's face turned pale. "Stop this right now!"

"I see you have yourself a protector," Volstagg smiled. "Let's see how good he is."

Volstagg was about to charge at Bucky, but Thor stood in his way. "That's enough," He glared. "The duel is off."

Volstagg put his ax down. "I was just having a little fun... I wasn't going to hurt them..."

Thor kept glaring at him. "The duel is off. Go."

Thor had officially kicked Volstagg out of the room. Volstagg looked around at his friends, waiting for them to help, but they didn't. He began walking out of the room with his ax.
