Tsunami (Avengers Fanfic)

Chapter 9

*Disclaimer: I don't own anything but Arabella*

"Alright, listen up. Until we can close that portal up there, we're gonna use 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 your turn it to ash." Steve says as Captain America after Bella's comment.

"Wanna give me a lift?" Clint asks Tony

"Right. Better clench up, Legolas." Iron Man lifts Hawkeye up to the building.

"Thor, you've gotta try and bottleneck that portal. Slow them down. You've got the lightning. Light the bastards up." Steve continues before turning to Natasha and Bella. "The three of us, we stay here on the ground, keep the fighting here. And Hulk." He pauses to look at Hulk. "Smash." Hulk grins widely and leaps high onto a building, hitting several Chitauri soldiers on the way.

Natasha, using an energy rifle she had gotten off of a Chitauri soldier, is taken off her feet. Bella tiresomely takes it down by cutting its throat. Both of the girls see movement and turns to attack. Cap stands there, holding his shield.

"Captain, none of this is gonna mean a damn thing if we don't close that portal." Natasha says tiredly.

"Our biggest guns couldn't touch it." Steve says glancing around.

"Well, maybe it's not about guns." Bella says gesturing to the flying chariots.

"You wanna get up there, you're gonna need a ride.

"I got a ride. I could use a lift though." Natasha says as she backs up giving herself a running start.

Cap lifts and angles his shield glancing at Bella who shrugs in response before they both look at Natasha.

"Are you sure about this?" Cap says asking what was also on Bella's mind.

"Yeah. It's gonna be fun." Natasha says before taking off into a run and runs onto a car, jumps on Cap's shield. Cap gives a little lift and she grabs onto a chariot. Iron Man arrives and shoots any other Chitauri riders following her. He makes his way down to Cap and Bella, who fights off more Chitauri riders. Iron Man points his hand boosters at Cap's shield. The energy comes off and Cap reflects it and takes down nearby Chitauri. Hulk punches Thor and sends him flying, Hulk smirks at what he had done to Thor. Bella saw them and gave a little laugh and Steve glances at her before looking over to Hulk to see what she was laughing at and saw him smirking.

"Hulk just punched Thor on the arm. It sent him flying." Bella says seeing his look. Steve gives her a smile and a nod before they both returned fighting. As Cap fights off a Chitauri who is pinning him down with its energy rifle, Bella uses her powers to give a little space around them after flipping over one trying to stab her. Cap stands up, picking up his shield and starts to help Bella finish off the group surrounding them.

"Captain, Tsunami, the bank on 42nd past Madison, they caught a lot of civilians there." They both here Clint over the comms.

"We're on it." Cap replied as they both took off. When they get there they jump through the window and Cap throws his shield at the Chitauri bomber and Tsunami uses water from the water fountains to get rid of the rest of the soldiers. Two Chitauri soldiers aim their rifles at Cap and Bella, but he and Bella heads for cover under a desk, which Cap kicks at them. Cap jumps over the desk and headlocks one of them, while Bella punches the other one before pushing it over the railing. The crowd moves away as a Chitauri attacks Cap from behind and rips off his helmet. The bomb is beeping faster.

"Everyone! Clear out!" Bella says before turning to help Steve. Steve flips over the soldier, grabs his shield and just as the bomb is about to go off, the Chitauri bomber dives for the bomb, trying to stop it, but it goes off, sending Cap and Tsunami through the window, landing very hard on a car. Bella looks over to the civilians as they civilians look up from below. She's glad to see them okay. She sighs before looking over to Cap. "I think I'll go home and read some books and not leave my room for a week. I might even invite you in my stupidly large room." Bella says with a small smile. "Sound like a plan? You might like the mansion and the children in it."

"I'll get back to you on that. Right now we're still fighting." Steve says and Bella nods. They get off of the car, looks around the city to see it destroyed. The police and firemen arrive, pulling away the civilians they saved. A waitress looks back, thankful. At some point in time Thor joins them after a rather large group surrounds them. Cap and Thor both throw their respected weapons as Bella sends out a wave towards the group. Thor catches Mjölnir, but as Cap turns, an energy blast strikes him down hard. Thor runs over to a broken car, swings the hammer and flips the car over on its side, crushing a few Chitauri soldiers. Cap tries to get up and Bella bends over to catch her breath. Thor helps Cap back to his feet. Cap raises his shield back up and Bella stands straights before she walks over to the other two.

"You ready for another bout?" Thor asks them.

"What? You gettin' sleepy?" Cap asks him.

"I can go a bit longer with my powers. Then I'll fight without it if the fight lasts longer than I can keep going with them." Bella says with a small smile.

"I can close it! Can anybody hear me? I can shut the portal down!" Natasha says. Bella laughs in relief at the timing.

"Do it!" Cap says giving Bella and Thor a relieved smile.

"No, wait!" Tony says.

"Stark, these things are still coming!" Steve says as Bella groans closing her eyes.

"I got a nuke coming in, it's gonna blow in less than a minute. And I know just where to put it." Tony tells them.

"Stark, you know that's a one-way trip?" Steve says in concern as the ones on the ground watched Tony head to the portal, he climbs higher and higher over the city, gaining speed, going through the portal. Bella sees all of the Chitauri soldiers drop dead. Thor, Cap, and Bella see the supernova coming towards them. Thor nods to Cap.

"Close it." Cap says grimly. As the portal closes the ones on the ground see a small figure hurling towards them through the portal. "Son of a gun!" Cap says smiling.

"He's not slowing down." Thor says swinging Mjölnir around. Just as Thor flies up, grabs Tony from the air, crashing into a building. Thor, Cap and Bella run towards where they landed to see Hulk throw Tony off him. Thor and Cap run over to him. Thor rips off Tony's helmet. He appears to be dead. They stand around not sure what to do. Then Hulk yells in fury startling Tony awake.

"What the hell? What just happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me?" Tony says a little panicky.

"We won." Steve says after a beat of silence while smiling.

"Alright. Hey. Alright. Good job, guys. Let's just not come in tomorrow. Let's just take a day. Have you ever tried shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I wanna try it." Tony says calming down a bit.

"We're not finished yet." Thor says looking up towards Stark Tower

"And then shawarma after." Tony says. Bella giggles at Tony.

"Shawarma after" Bella says as everyone looks at her smiling.

*********TIME SKIP*********

Weeks after the Chitauri attack the Avengers take Thor and Loki, who is handcuffed and muzzled, to a blocked area. Thor shakes hands with his team and gives Selvig a hug. Tony opens the Tesseract's case. Banner takes it out and places inside a glass tube, held by Thor. Thor gives Loki the other end, who reluctantly takes it. The Asgardians leap into the energy beam. One-by-one, the group splinters off, strolling into different directions. Banner climbs in with Tony in his sports car heading towards the newly named Avengers Tower. Natasha and Clint climb back into SHIELD cars. Bella turns towards Steve as they get on their motorcycles they leave and smiles at him. "Ready to go, Captain?" She asks him. Steve nodded then they started their motorcycles. She nods and they took off for the X-Mansion.
