The Avengers Childeren (Book 1: The Beggining)

23. finale part 1

Skye

(About 2 weeks ago)

Atuma is down. He got my arm good. It's been slashed at its nerves. Oh no. Right arm, not my dominant one though.

My ears are also ringing Stightly. I think I have a concusion.

I've reached my powers limits I think. My sword desummoned during the fight. That's why I took so many hits with my arm.

The other sleeve I ripped off my hoodie is bleeding through. My hoodie is now sleeveless. Great.
Good thing it's not my pewdiepie merch, or else I'd go crazy.

Probably gonna have to use my old costume till I get a new hoodie....

Woah..everythings spinning...im glad I have this wall to support me.

Where's the wall...?

I know these people. "Guys.."

I feel pressure on my arm. Jordan's smirking at me. Of course she brought bandages in her belt.

We're stuck in this glass prism. It's roomy, we can all easily fit.

I hear a banging. I don't know if anyone else can.
Jordans cat form is not activated, and Harper is barely able to stand on her own.

James is supporting her.

I look. There's another container. Is that. It is. Clint. Ok. I have to squint to look at him though.

He's signing. Ok. But Jo isn't here-
Good thing she taught me some of it.

'Cap, iron, gone. You?'

Oh no. I'm rusty, but I can do this. After a quick survey of the place, I realize that Jo and CJ are missing.

'Eagle, Maiden. Injuries?'

Then blinding lights come on.

Dracula. Of course. And the other members of the kabal.

"Welcome Avengers, of old and of new."

Ok dracula. I stay silent though. Habit I guess.

I can hear the eye rolls so much though.
Like, this guy can control people, he can turn people into vampires, so why is no one afraid of-

"Like were afraid of a bunch of losers like you. We've beaten you once and we can always do it again."

Clint why is it always Clint? I'd hate to be his kid.

Dracula doesn't head for Clint though. He heads for us.
Wait- why are the others bowing? No.. He has them doesn't He? Hm. That sucks.

He doesn't go for any of them. My friends were taken down with just a look. Not even a fight?

I struggle. He grabs me by my bad hand and drags me out of the cage, my friends no longer under his control.

"Although it would be fun to torture you archer, I prefer to torment this child in your place."

I am not a Child! I am a prince, king, even.

He looks me in the eyes. They glow red. After about 5 minutes, I can't control anything anymore. Or, that's what he thinks.
I'm so glad I crafted that face mask earlier.

"Summon your weapon of choice, wolf."

I can act. I can pretend. This is an interesting game. He thinks he's won. I summon a wooden stake.

"Stab your self. Cut until you bleed."

"Yes lord dracula."

All of the others look so scared. Even the Avengers show slight fear.

"Leave him alone. This is me and you, Drac!"

I smirk at that under my mask. I cut my hand. Once, twice, three times. That's gonna sting.  Well when I feel this arm it willl.

"Stab yourself through the heart."

He ignored Clint. Hm. I do too. No biggie. Time for the show to begin.

I raise the stake to my chest.I have some power stored up. Then I go invisible, and the steak does too.

"Hey Vampy, ever hear of acting? You should really check twice before you decide someone's under."

He gets a mad exspression. I throw some smoke pellets at him. Then I get my team out.

We're in our fighting stances. I think that's the last of my powers for a while.

"Your too late childeren."

Something fires up. Not something, A huge laser.

It lines up with the Avengers cage.

"Say goodbye Avengers."

James whispers something to Jordan. She leans over to me.

"When James gives the signal, turn the bottom of the cage to a portal next to us."

I nod. What is James planning?
The machine fires. Theres not a second of hesitation.

"Now!"

James got his power. It's a forcefield.
I try to fire up my portal, bit it's not working. Only sparks.
James Forcefileld is breaking.
He is aswell.

"Anytime now."

His voice is strained.

I get it. The Avengers land next to us and James forcefield breaks, and he collapses.

heyguysfirstlinebreakhowsitgoing?okenjoythebook

We get James to the sidelines. Bucky- I mean dad walks up to me.

"You shouldn't be fighting."

"But I am."

He better back off my case. Whew. I have to find CJ and Jo.

Wait-

Tony and Steve are like, the main leaders of the Avengers.

   CJ isn't quite there. But Jo is.  Jo founded our team. Although midnight warriors isn't a good name.  I mean, CJ is a pretty good leader so I guess.

"Painter, Hakweye, Widdow and I will look for iron man and The others. "

I pause to take a breath. Everyone is looking at me. like I'm some hurt child. I will show them I'm not.

"Everyone else, keep the kabal distracted."

Clint opens his mouth.

"We don't have time for this..."

"Clint, do you have a better plan?"

Silence. Exactly.

"Let's go then." 

                       ~Later~

    We've been searching for a bit. I've redressed my bandages once. There bled through already.
Shit. At this rate, i could possibly die. 
Weve split up. There were 4 pathways.  Ok. I'm by myself.  Don't get clostraphobic. Don't.
  One room left. Ok.

It's dark. Stuffy, James would call it. Huph. Whew. 
I turn on a switch. Oh thank god. Tony and Cap. Hanging from the ceiling, like a magnetic field.

I release them. Tony and Steve fall to the floor.

"Guys, I got Cap and Tony, Im-"

Everything goes blurry. I feel myself falling...

"Skye?"
