The Weakness

31

Erin ran and jumped into the air. When she landed, she made the ground turn to ice. The Chitauri within twenty feet turned to ice and crumbled.

She raised her hands to the sky and froze the ships passing overhead. Cursing when she saw Loki's ship get away, Erin walked to the bottom of a skyscraper.

The sound of shifting rubble met her ears and she whipped around. Her eyes landed on a boy about 18 years of age. "Who are you?" She asked.

"Kaden McGuire. Who are you?" the boy said.

"Erin Laufeyson." Erin said, not overly sure why she was giving her information out to strangers. She readied herself to fight. She did not want another scene like with the hooded man.

"You're Erin?" The boy asked. "I have a message for you."

"What is it?" Erin asked. The human had spiked her interest.

"Be ready for a new fight." The boy grew fur and seemed to become a large bear. What the hell?

Erin blinked and the boy-bear-thing was gone. Had she imagined it? No. It had definitely been real.

She walked toward Stark Tower, noticing the portal closing. A figure fell from the portal. Erin squinted.

Stark.

She ran toward where he would land, but the Hulk jumped up and caught Iron Man. Erin met the others. Thor threw Stark's face plate to the side.

A moment of silence.

"GROOOAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

Erin jumped at the Hulk's roar.

Stark gasped awake. "What the hell?" He panted. "What happened?" He looked around at the four. "Please tell me nobody kissed me."

"No one kissed you." Erin said. "Not that we'd want to." She smirked. Tony rolled his eyes.

"We won." Steve said.

"Yay. Whoohoo. Alright guys yeah. Let's not go in tomorrow. Take the day." Tony said. "You guys like shawarma? I saw a shawarma place about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is but I want to try it."

Erin shook her head, astonished.

"It's not over yet." Thor look up to Stark Tower.

"And then Shawarma after." Tony said.
