Charlotte Stark: Tony Stark's Daughter (Book 1)

Chapter 9~ Attacked

Warning: Language and Violence

Steve's face was in the crook of my neck, and my dad looked over at me. Steve lifts his face up, and says, "Are you okay?"  "Yeah I think so..." He looks at my face, and he leans down, about to kiss me, but my dad jerks him off of me. "You can stay off of her, and you missy, we're going to have a long discussion, after all of this."

"Put on the suit." Steve says, and he pulls me up.

"Yep." My dad agrees and we all run out of the room following my dad.

"Engine three is down, Somebody's got to get outside and get it running." Hill says.

"Stark did you copy that?" Fury asks.

"On it." My dad replies. Fury then tells my uncle to get down to the detention level.  

We get to where my dad's suit is and he looks at me and Steve, "Engine three. Meet you guys there." We begin to run to engine three, and all you can hear is a roar. Bruce has Hulked out.  Steve pulls  a door and we run into some of Loki's "monkeys". Steve tells me to get the one on the left, and he'll get the other two. I punch the guy in the face ,  he puts me in a choke hold, and I headbutt him so hard he got knocked out. And well ,Steve, already took out two of them. We get out to engine three, and Steve yells "Stark! Stark we're here!" 

"Good." he flies around the corner. "Let's see what we got." He begins to mumble things to himself, saying what he needs to do. he looks over at us and tells us, "I need you to go to the control panel, and tell me what relays are in overload  position." He flies upward, and Steve says, "Come here, and hold on." we jump from one thing to another, until we get to the panel. He sets me down, "Here it is!" I say. He opens it up, and begins to look at it.

"What does it look like in there?" My dad asks.

"It seems to run on some form of electricity." Steve says confused.

"Well ,you're not wrong. Charlie, get all of those relays ready to go." After a couple of minutes I got them all intact.

"All of the relays are intact." I say into my ear piece.

"What's our next move?" Steve asks.

"Even if we clear the rotors, this thing won't reengage without a jump. I'm going to have get in there and push."

"If you get it reengage, you'll get shredded." Steve says.

"Dad, you can't." I say.

"The stator control unit can reverse the polarity long enough to disengage the mag lev." 

"Speak English." Steve says.

"Charlie explain it to him."

"See the red lever? It will slow it down long enough for my dad to get in and out of there." I say.

"Good job sweetie. Now stand by it and wait for my word." He says.

Steve grabs my waist, and I hold onto his neck. And he jumps towards the red lever. A couple more of Loki's men come through the door, "It's a good thing I decided to gear up today." I pull out my bow and grab an arrow. One of the men throws a grenade, and Steve jumps and hits it away from us, before it exploded. He jumps down, punched the guy in the face. Two more come through the door, I pull back on my arrow and shoot one of them in the chest. One down. Steve threw one  off of the side. Two down. One comes through with a gun, and starts shooting recklessly, I grab my hand gun out of the holder, and started shooting at him. He got one lucky shot, and shot me in the shoulder. "Charlie!" Steve yells. He grabs a gun and starts shooting at the guy, and Steve jumped up to where I was. "Are you alright?" he shouts. "Don't worry about me right now! Just shoot that guy before I go all ballistic on him!" I put pressure on my arm to stop the bleeding, waiting for my dad to give us his word. Fury's  voice goes through everyone's ear pieces, "It's Barton. He's heading to the detention level."

"Does anybody copy?" He asks. "This is Agent Romanoff. I copy." she says. Steve continues to shoot at the guy, but he keeps hiding behind a wall. The guy comes around the corner, and shoots, almost getting Steve's face. I see him slip on a piece of grate, and starts to fall, but he grabbed a hold of a wire hanging. "Steve!" I yell! I go over to where he was, "Shoot that damn guy! I'll be fine! Just go get him!" He shouts. I grab the gun he was using and start to shoot at the guy. I shot his gun out of his hand, but when I went to go shoot him, my gun was out of ammo, my bow and hand gun were long gone. So I jumped down from where I was, it was time for some hand-to-hand combat now. He swung, but I dodged it. I kicked his feet out from under him, and he fell, he grabbed a hold of my leg and pulled me down with him. He pinned me to the ground, and pressed his finger on my wound from where he shot me. I scream out in pain, but now I'm just royally mad. I head butt him in this face and he falters back, I get out my army knife and throw it. It hit him, and I grabbed my knife and pushed him off the side. But right after I did that someone grabbed me by my hair, and drug ,me backwards. My ear piece flew out of my ear, "Crap!" I yell and grab this guy by his face and started to punch. "First you guys shoot me, then you grab my hair, and now you made me lose my ear piece!" This one was really strong, he picked me up over his head and threw me into a wall. Steve runs up behind the guy and starts to beating the crud out of this guy, and he was out.  Another idiot comes around the corner, and I can hear my dads voice in his ear piece, "Guys hit the lever." "I need a minute!" Steve says"The lever!" He says again. 

"Steve get to the lever, I got this guy! Go!" I say and he jumps up to where the lever is, and this guy has a gun as well. He starts to shoot at Steve, but I twist his arm back, and grab the gun. I hit him with it and he falls. I look up and Steve pulled the lever. I sit down against the wall, while my shoulder continues to bleed. "Wow they got me exactly where I got stabbed at." Steve jumps down towards me, and pulls my hand away from the wound, right then my dad flies and falls down right next to me. "After this is all over, I need a long vacation." I sigh. I pull Steve next to me, "Did you get hit?" I ask him. "No." I wipe the sweat off of his forehead, and kiss him on the cheek. "Charlie, we're still talking about this whole thing later." my dad says taking his helmet off. 

"Are you okay?" I ask my dad. "Yeah, but you're not." he says looking at my shoulder. Steve's and my dad's ear pieces go off, and I can't hear what they said, but they turn and look at me, with a sad expression on their face. "Guys, what happened?" I ask.
