The Young Avengers

Too Tired

"You're the what?" Kate asked causing me to hold back a laugh. Without answering, the 'Green Goblin' flew towards us on some kind of hoverboard. "No answer?" Kate scoffed, jumping out of the way.

"Mockingbird, stop antagonising him!" I yelled making my way closer to the few people still left here. "We have to take him out before he harms anyone else!" I yelled readying myself incase the Goblin chose to attack the civilians. "Aura, why haven't you connected me to the tower?"

"There seems to be a problem connecting, would you like me to contact Peter."

"Yes, patch me through immediately!" I shouted pushing the people behind me towards cover. As the call began, I turned and saw Kate dodging the Green Goblin as he swept down to attack. "Come on answer." I pleaded to the ringing.

"Bills? What is it?" Peter asked as he answered.

"Get here now! We got ambushed by some dude on a hoverboard. He's calling himself the Green Goblin, and I don't know how long we can hold him off." 

"We? I've been the one in combat Wiccan!" Kate yelled, dodging another attack.

"I don't have enough energy to fight. I'm protecting the few injured that are left here."

"I'm on my way. Karen share my location with Wiccan. Hold off just a little longer." Peter said as his location ping popped up on my holo-display. He was a few miles away still.

"We'll try." I sighed. Looking over to Kate I watched as she jumped towards the Goblin, hitting him with her staff. Landing behind him, the Goblin dropped another orange bomb. "Mockingbird!" I yelled shoving my hand forward, creating a small force field around the bomb.

"Thanks Wiccan!" Kate waved at me.

"I need more energy." I sighed.

"I have a Red Bull if you need one." One of the bystanders behind me mentioned.

"By God yes!" I gasped turning my head towards them.

"Here," He said grabbing it out of his bag, and tossing it to me. "Sorry it's warm, there was an explosion after all." He apologized.

"It's fine," I said quickly downing the energy drink in only a couple of gulps. "Thank you!" I said already feeling a bit refreshed. Looking over to Kate I saw that she had taken a beating within the few seconds I was distracted. "Shit." I whispered. Raising my hands I steadied myself for a fight. Clenching my fists, energy surged into my fists, a dim blue hue began to radiate from them. The boost of energy from the Red Bull released small arcs of electricity off of my glowing knuckles. Running towards the Green Goblin I got ready to attack him while he was focused on Kate.

Rushing from behind him, I jumped to try and knock him off of his hoverboard. Before my fist could connect with him, He turned to face before dashing out of the way. Gritting my teeth, I looked at Kate to see her pull an extendable bow from her thigh holster. Catching sights with me, I established a telepathic link between Kate and I.

Okay, what's the plan? I asked Kate, facing the Goblin again.

We have to use our numbers to our advantage. Have you trained with Widow yet? Kate questioned, looking for an opening.

Not much, only a couple of times, and we only worked on my taser fists. I explained.

Okay I have an idea, you're going to learn how to use a bo staff now. Kate told me sliding her staff over to me.

"Great now I'm going to look like a real wizard." I sighed picking it up.

"You think that, a magic user with a staff, can beat me?"
