Cat Got Your Tongue?

Chapter 10

Tony began to blast and destroy as many of the ships as he could but it was too much. The escaped aliens flew out over the city and wrecked buildings and cars in their sight. People ran scared and terrified into shops and restaurants, looking for any sort of cover or a way out of the fight. I helplessly ushered people down and away from the streets into safety. At some point during the chaos, Thor began fighting with Loki, so he was taken care of, then the guys arrived. I ignored the yelling and screaming over coms as I was too occupied in helping people. Then Tony said something about drive thru and it completely threw me off.

I stopped and looked for him in the sky. His little red and gold suit was being chased by three or four chitari ships and the quin jet was spinning out of control. And they call us coordinated. The jet crashes and I watch from my position on the bridge as the door opens and Steve, Clint and Nat come running out. My attention is then otherwise used by an alien shooting at me. The blast hits the crashed taxi a few meters in front of me and it knocks it back. Sending it flying into me. The force knocks me off my feet but it's nothing I can't handle, as I'm quickly back up and shooting back. I kill around six or seven aliens, before I decide there's too many and I need to move. 

Without thinking I jump off the bridge and teleport down to the ground. I then flip an over turned car the right way up and help out a few abandoned children from the back seat. 

"Where's your mother?" I ask the little girl, who looks to be about seven. She was crying and had a cut on her forehead that definitely needed tending too.

"I don't know." She mumbled shaking her head. I stood up straight and searched the area for her parents. A couple were being held back by police and barriers but were yelling and pointing towards me. I scooped up the little girl and grabbed the boys hand and took off running to the couple. When I got there I looked at the little girl, she nodded her head and held her hands out for her dad. I immediately returned both children and went back to the chaos. 

I helped a few more people find their family's and returned lost children to their emotional mothers and fathers. I continued on this way until I heard my name amoungst all the yelling.

"What? Oh my fucking God, guys, shut up." I shouted into the ear piece. The coms silenced until Tony spoke up again.

"Chesh, there's a library on eighty sixth full of people, trapped. Wanna be a hero?" I could hear the damn smirk in his voice.

"Oh sweet heart, it's my dream." I said sarcastically and teleported to eighty sixth street. Only when I got there, there was a giant fucking snake thing covered in metal armour and was flying about, eating and killing people left, right and centre. "Tony, what the fucking hell is that lizard thing?!" I say breathlessly.

"Honey, are you not listening?" He asked.

"Truth be told, no. I wasn't listening. You want to know why I wasn't listening? Because I can't hear a fucking thing over all the shouting!" I lash out as I run down the street away from the snake chasing me.

"Look, it's kinda like a mother ship. We kill that and it helps us win, I think." He adds the last part  sounding conflicted. "Actually, does anyone know where it is? I kinda lost it."

"Eighty sixth avenue, beside Starbucks." I said, running past the beloved coffee house.

"Wait, is it chasing you?" He asks, more serious now.

"Yes!" I yell out of breath. I run round the corner to see Tony coming my way. He shoots rockets at the animal and gains it's attention, drawing it away and back to the centre of the fight. "Thank you." I say, putting my hands on my knees.I run back to the library and free the people who I then tell to go underground.
