Missing Piece// Steve Rogers [1]

Final Battle Pt. 3

We all huddle against a cab while Steve gives orders. "We've got civilians still trapped up here." Barton mentions, just as a pack of aliens fly over our heads, shooting at the civilians below us.

"They're fish in a barrel down there." Steve says just as an alien fires at us. Romanoff shoots at them before they could do anything.

"Do you think you can hold them off?" Steve asks Barton.

"Captain, it would be my genuine pleasure." Barton says as he pulls a bow from his quiver and shoots at an alien. Steve nudges me to follow him towards the civilians. We both jump over a railing, and roll onto a bus, dodging fire from the aliens. As we run, blasts zip past us, nearly hitting us but we are quick enough to miss them. We continue running until we come to a police barricade and we hop onto the top of the car.

"You need men in these buildings." Steve states,  pointing to the buildings around us, "There are people inside and they're going to be running right into the line of fire. You take them to the basements or through the subway. You keep them off the streets. We need a perimeter as far back as 39th."

"Why the hell should I take orders from you two?" A policeman questions. A blast from behind us erupts, causing Steve and I to turn and see aliens coming at us. Steve hits a couple with his shield and I do a mix of hand-to-hand combat and shooting blasts of purple energy. We finish and turn back to the police officer, who begins to give the orders. We rush back to the location of Romanoff and Barton, who are joined by Thor.

"I have unfinished business with Loki." Thor states.

"Yeah? Well get in line." Barton comments.

"Save it." Steve demands, walking towards Barton, "Loki's going to keep this fight focused on us, and that's what we need. Without him, these things could run wild. We got Stark up top. He's going to need us to..." He trails, hearing a faint sound of an engine coming from behind us. I turn to see Bruce riding on a motorcycle, slowing making his way towards us. Once he stops, we all walk towards him.

"So, this all seems horrible." He states.

"I've seen worse." Romanoff replies.

"Sorry." He apologizes.

"No, we could use a little worse."

"Stark, we got him," Steve says into the comms. "Just like you said." He adds.

"Great. I'm bringing the party to you." Tony replies.

A few moments later, I see Tony flying in with a giant centipede thing flying right behind him. It crashes through a building as it follows him, which is towards us.

"I don't see how that's a party."
I comment. Bruce takes some steps in the direction of the mechanical worm-alien as Steve calls to him.

"Dr. Banner. Now might be a really good time for you to get angry." Steve suggests. Bruce looks back at Steve and smirks slightly.

"That's my secret, Captain. I'm always angry." He replies as he turns back to the creature and forms into Hulk. He quickly and easily slams the creatures head into the ground, causing his rear to rise over us. Tony shoots at the center, causing it to explode, and Steve quickly grabs me and hides under his shield for protection. Once the debris clears, we all stand together and look at the aliens that are surrounding us, squawking for one of their lost ones.

"Guys..." Romanoff calls to us. I look into the sky to see more aliens coming through the portal.

"Call it Cap." Tony says.

"Alright, listen up. Until we can close that portal, our priority is containment. Barton, 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 you turn it to ash." Steve orders the two.

"Can you give me a lift?" Barton asks Tony.

"Right." Tony walks to his side, "better clench up, Legolas." he finishes as he grabs Barton's suit and flys into the sky.

"Thor, you got to try and bottleneck that portal. Slow them down. You got the lightening, light the bastards up." Steve continues. Thor starts swinging his hammer and flys away.

"The three of us, we stay here on the ground. We keep fighting here." Steve turns go the Hulk, "and Hulk..." Steve call.. He snarls as he looks at Steve. "Smash." A grin flashes on his face before he leaps onto a building, smashing a few aliens nearby. The three of us remaining take of into the street and fight from below.
