Eve blinked in surprise as a strange noise met her sensitive ears.
"Uh, Spangles? I don't think that was the only one." She called out.
They all watched as multiple Chitauri Leviathans flew out of the portal that led to a deep dark abyss in space.
"Guys?" Nat questioned warily, completely out of ideas.
"Welp, we're way out of our fucking element. Don't cha think Baby B?"
He nodded numbly.
"Call it Cap." Tony practically demand.
Captain America instantly fell back into his old habits, putting on a facade of a confident man who knew exactly what he was doing and not a PTSD suffering war veteran from the 40's.
"Alright, listen up. Until we can close that portal up there, we're gonna use containment. Barton-"
"Which one?" They both called out in unison,
"Clint, I want you on that roof, eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays. Stark, you got the perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back or your turn it to ash."
"Wanna give me a lift?" Clint asked Tony casually.
"Right. Better clench up, Legolas."
Stark grabbed Eve's little brother by the back of his suit, taking off to the top of the building to drop him off.
"Thor, you've gotta try and bottleneck that portal. Slow them down. You've got the lightning. Light them up." Thor flew up, blowing Natasha's hair into her face, "You and me, we stay here on the ground, keep the fighting here. Eve, you take out as many as these big bastards as you can." She smiled broadly as Steve turned to Hulk, "And Hulk?"
The beast in question turned to the blond with an aggressive head turn. Steve held up his finger like a demanding parent,
"Smash."
That big green face pulled up into a magnificent grin before he leapt into the air. Practically soaring up onto the nearest building. Eve watched with a smirk as the green beast crushed the soldiers with ease.
"Eve, you're up."
"Don't worry Spangles, we got this!"
She shot up into the air. Nat turned to Steve with an eyebrow raised, a little genuine smile on her lips,
"Spangles?"
He shrugged, turning to the incoming alien soldiers.
"Can't get her to stop calling me that, might as well roll with it."
Natasha couldn't agree more. Trying to ignore the blush that appeared on her cheeks as she remembered her own pet name Eve used to call her fondly.Eve rose high into the sky, scanning the city carefully as she watched how the Leviathans moved. She tapped on the side of her sunglasses, and suddenly her targets were marked carefully. Naturally she had the assassin gift of Eagle Vision but her sunglasses gave that sight an extra boost. The hairs on her neck started to tingle as the clouds darkened. Looking at the Empire State Building she noticed Thor was summoning an impressive amount of lightning. Directing the raw power towards the portal where multiple alien riders suddenly exploded. She was practically gleeful when she saw another Leviathan blow up before she had to take care of it. Then a familiar hawk flew into her peripheral vision.
"Leo?" She murmured.
The bird let out a shriek as it headed towards an undamaged building. She followed swiftly. Landing on the rooftop where men and women dressed in dull colored hoodies with matching red accents stood. Hoods up, shadowing their features. The large man who wore a dark grey hoodie strode up to her, only his greying goatee visible.
"Enzo? Enzo Auditore?"
He grinned, arms opened wide in a grand gesture.
"Hancock said you needed all hands on deck. So, here we are." He purred in his Italian accent, becoming more like his ancestor than should legally be possible.
"Good, cause it's time to get to work."
She held up her forearm, Leonidas(Leo) landed on her arm lightly. Giving her the confidence she needed in order to command the large group,
"We need to bring casualties down to a minimum. I don't care what or how you do it, but we need the civilians safe and underground on their way out of the city. Got it?"
They all placed their fists over their hearts. Heads bowed for a few moment. Then they all exploded with movement as the assassins jumped off of the building. The grappling hooks attached to their gauntlets working perfectly as the assassins headed towards were they could help. Eve let Leo take off, him watching over her brothers and sisters in death. She stepped into the open air, and unsheathed her special sword.
