The landing was unexpected. We were caught about 30 feet above the ground by Banner, who set us down on the ground gently and went back to the building. "Maybe we shouldn't do that anymore..." i said, a waver in my voice. Steve nodded his head at me and turned back to the building. From where i was, i could see Caroline and Wanda spraying down a huge pile of brick and cement. I ran past Steve, towards them, but Thor stepped in front of me. "I would not, if i were you." he cautioned, but i pushed past him anyway. As i walked up to the pile of rubble, Caroline and Wanda both stopped what they were doing and looked at me.

The huge pile of metal that was my father shifted. He was still alive. I stood perfectly still as Thor, Hulk, Bucky, Wanda, Caroline, and Steve lined up beside me. The massive figure rose from the rubble and stood in front of us, laughing. "Well, at least he's not on fire anymore." Bucky said.

"GET HIM BOYS" i screamed as i grabbed Wanda and Caroline by their collars and pulled them away from the action. They both looked at me with a puzzled look plastered to their faces. Behind me, i could hear Steves shield rushing through the air, Hulks growl, Thor's hammer hitting his hand, and Bucky's gun. I tried to ignore it, but the sound was too metallic and loud. I shook my head and said, "You both can conduct electricity, right?"

They both nodded, but still looked confused. "I need you both to trust me, and not argue with me. Okay?" i said, pulling an arrow out of my quiver and lacing it. Caroline stood on my left, Wanda on the right. The both placed a hand on my back and dropped their heads. "I love you both." i said, almost quiet enough that you couldn't hear it over the fighting that was happening less than 20 feet away.

I screamed as i felt a huge jolt of electricity move through my body. I released the arrow, and fell to my knees. I looked up in time to see the arrow fly through the air and split the metal of his thick chest plate, which protected his source of power. I watched as the metal of his body broke into pieces, leaving a basketball sized mound of twisted steel. "Th- Thor.. do- just do it..." i whimpered in pain. I could hardly see it through my blurry vision, but he did it. Lightning struck all around us and it started to rain. I watched as the thick metal of the hammer crashed down onto the chuck of metal.

"Grace... can you hear me...? Quick, we gotta get her back.. TONY? I NEED YOU HERE. NOW."
