It was brutal.

It was scary.

These aliens that rained down from the sky were merciless. They shot to kill, they didn't care who it was they were shooting.

Innocent men, women and children were lying on the ground dead. Buildings were being destroyed and fires raged on every single block of the street.

"Get out of here. NOW!!" I shouted urgently as another alien speeder touched down feet away from where I was fighting the other aliens in order to allow safe passage for the civilians.

I kept sending out as many kicks and punches as I could manage, trying my hardest to knock them back. But as more aliens tried getting a piece of me I was becoming overwhelmed, than one alien jumped on my back knocking me to the ground beginning a massive pile on, all of them trying their hardest to land a killing blow.

But like the saying goes: the cornered rat will bite the cat. And believe it or not but I am no ordinary rat, no... no I am a very extraordinary rat.

Wait why the hell did you call us a rat?

Oh, shut up it's an analogy.

You know what... never mind.

As I was saying... Belting out the loudest strongest scream I could possibly muster, my body erupted into flames which then engulfed all the surrounding aliens before shooting a gigantic pillar of flames straight into the air. The weight on my back gradually disappeared after a moment of my flames, so giving it a moment I then stopped. But then again, I allowed for some of my flames to linger on my body as a precaution and like a phoenix I rose up from the ashes trying to control my abilities as they tried to take over me.

The action left my head thundering, I couldn't rely on the ability, it took too much out of me.

Once I was calmer, I heard screaming in the distance and charged down the block towards it.

Turning down a corner I spotted a police barricade with civilians behind it. Rushing down the block I skidded to a stop in front of the wall of cars. One officer quickly approached me dust and soot covering his face.

"Ma'am there is an alien attack, you need to get to cover ASAP!" The officer said urgently.

"Really I couldn't tell... I'm here to help." My voice was dripping in sarcasm.

"Are you sure you can you handle yourself?" The officer asked when I let out a hiss, in that dog pile earlier I'd been given a cut across my side and it aches as I had trusted my body slightly.

"Thank you very much sir and yes I can handle myself." I said with a reassuring smile dropping my attitude upon seeing his genuine concern. "Watch out for civilians, they're all scattered about the place and stay hidden, stay safe. The best option is going underground."

I turned a block almost immediately running into the same creepy aliens who launched to fight at me. Throwing out my fist, it burst into flames and quickly connected with the aliens face sending it flying into the cement wall of one of the cities thousands of skyscrapers.

"Ahhhhh crap!" I shouted shaking my hand as I felt the bones in my hand practically vibrate painfully, any harder it surely would have broken but my strength was slightly enhanced due to my other abilities.

I heard a bunch of screaming coming from a couple of blocks down so after making sure the alien was dead well at least unconscious I took off in a fast jog. Gaining momentum, I jumped into the air, running on the wall briefly before kicking off again and going flying straight through the air.

"Oh shit, too much momentum. Shit. Shit. SHIT!!!!" I screamed going flying through the air as I flipped through the air as I came speeding down to the earth at an alarming speed.

Language!

Shut up!

As I drew closer to the ground I spotted a mosh pit of aliens attacking some people. If I can aim for the aliens I can help.

"WATCH OUT!" I scream to the humans who were trying to fight off the aliens. They may or may not have heard me but I don't know. So, bracing myself I tucked into a ball, lighting my body in my bright red, yellow and orange flames. I shut my eyes bracing myself for a future impact with the ground.

And when it came, I crashed into the ground, the area around me exploded in a rush of flames incinerating any nearby aliens. Once the initial shock of crashing into the ground was gone I stood up letting the rubble roll off my back.

Stretching I looked around for where I had seen the people before I'd crashed. As I turned in my place I finally spotted the two I'd seen as I fell. And of course, to my surprise the two people I thought were civilians were not in fact civilians.

One I could see clearly see was a gun using woman with short and curly fiery red hair. And the other one well...

"Y-You're... You're Captain America!" I said in surprise.

Right there, five feet away from me was the star spangled banner man, the super soldier straight out of time. And his stunned expression was most likely a mirror of what my face had to looks like in that moment.

"You-You've been my lifelong role model even before you got out of the ice!" I said walking a few steps closer to him with my hand out hoping he'd shake it.

And to my surprise HE DID! He actually shook my hand.

Idiot! Pay attention.

"Are you alright miss?" He asked trying to see if I had any injuries, technically I did but most of them were just some slight cuts and scrapes nothing major. Over his shoulder I could see the redhead having that same shocked expression from before as she looked around for any incoming aliens.

"I can handle myself, besides I'm here to help." I said giving a proud smile.

"Ma'am maybe you should get to cover. These 'things' are dangerous. Besides we can do this." Cap said motioning to the dead aliens as he put his hand on my shoulder trying to deter me from fighting.

Cap's eye's suddenly left me to look past my shoulder and turning slightly I saw a hoard of the aliens running down the street towards me... well us. Looking over my shoulder again but now at Captain America, I managed to catch his attention with an absolutely devilish smirk.

"By the looks of it Cap, you'll be needing all the help you can get." I said heading towards the hoard of incoming aliens.

"Hey wait!"
