I tried to keep the fight from spilling into the rest of the city. I saw some of my men and women helping people out of the buildings and into the subways.
The army was here and fighting. It seemed we were winning.
That was until a huge ugly creature came out of the hole. Then a couple more came.
I kept fighting. I was not going to let this war spill out to the world.
Even if it meant killing Loki.... More and more of the army was closer to me. I figured they had it. I flew up and watched Hulk fly out of the Stark Tower. I flew back to the tower.
I saw a woman near the blue thing.
"Natasha?" I whispered. I hadn't seen her in a long time. I flew into the building.
Loki lay on his back. He was injured badly.
"Oh what have you done," I knelt beside him. I brushed the hair out of his face. He was defiantly knocked out by now.
"Why? What made you this way?" I whispered into his ear. I touched his forehead. I closed my eyes and saw him and Thor fighting by the bifrost. I watched as he fell into the wormhole that was created after Thor destroyed it.
I opened my eyes and stared at him.
"Looks like we both fell and for the same reason ," I whispered. I got up and moved closer to Natasha. Erik was working on a computer.
"I can close it, can anybody copy?" she said into her ear piece.
"Do it," Captain America yelled.
"No don't I got a nuke coming this way and I know the perfect place for it," a mans voice came out. Tony Starks voice.
"I'll be damned your not as selfish as you seem," I whispered. I watched as the nuke flew towards the city as the Iron Man flew it up to the worm hole.
I held my breath. Seconds past, no Stark.
"Come on," I whispered.
Nothing.
"Close it," Captain said throught the ear piece. She hesitated for a second but with the spear.
Then Iron Man came out falling through the sky. I considered getting him but I watched the Hulk grab him.
I walked back towards Loki.
"I want you to know why I left, but I think it's better if you don't," I whisper in his ear.
I flew up back to my apartment and got back into my captains uniform.
I ran to the precinct. I watched as my teams came back battered. I made sure I put my sword back in its case before I left so they wouldn't ask questions.
"Captain! Are you okay?" Clemmings walked up.
"Yes why?" I asked. I looked at myself in the glass. My head was bleeding along with my shoulder. My uniform was disjointed I realized my jacket was ripped. I used so much force getting it on.
"I'm fine how is everyone else," I looked at everyone. Lot of people were still not here.
"We lost a lot of people," Clemmings was crying.
"The commissioner is dead," Another officer came up to me.
I closed my eyes. I felt tears in them.
I watched as Matt walked towards me. A shard of glass was in his shoulder.
"Are you okay," I mouthed to him. He smiled and winked.
"Well I think you can have the rest of the day off," I smiled to my teams. Some small laughs and smiles appeared.
"Ladies and gentlemen we just won a war against aliens, go home and have a drink or two or three, I expect you back in two days or so," I waved everyone off.
I walked to Matt. I hugged him.
"Ow," he grimaced. I smiled.
"Suck it up, let's get you patched up," I walked him to a clinic.
"You saw Loki right?" He asks.
"Yes," I whisper.
"Verdandi I'm sorry," he gave my a sad look.
"I know."
******
I watched from behind a tree as Loki and Thor took the blue thing to Asgard. All of the Avengers dispersed. Before Loki left I felt tears fall from my eyes.
I wanted to call out. I wanted to say "Look here I am!"
Then he was gone. I walked through the park. I kicked up leaves.
I still loved him.
He thought I was dead so did Sif and Thor and everyone else.
I am not a ghost.
I stopped and stared up at the sky.
"I'm coming home," I whispered up to the sky.
