Tony Stark flew solo when the rest of us were in the Quinjet. It was his tower, his rules. He wanted to see if he can shut down the source, but failed obviously since the portal is still open and aliens are still flying out.

My heart skips a beat from the monstrosity around us. This is going to be harder than I imagined. All my years in my little cabin never prepared me for something like this. It's nothing like what I've ever seen in my life. And it terrifies the living hell out of me.

"Seeing. Still working on believing. Where's Banner? Has he shown up yet?" Tony asks. We're too intrigued with what's going on right before our eyes to care for Banner's whereabouts. Though he would seem useful right now.

"Banner?" Steven questions as he's still confused with what is happening now.

"Just keep me posted"

Steve rounds us up behind a taxi to hide. The buildings here in New York are being destroyed leaving pieces of concrete and glass all over. Steve walks around to see how the area is looking so we could position ourselves for the grand fight. He comes back with an unsatisfied look.

"We've got civilians still trapped up here." Clint tells us. After, we see a couple aliens fly above us and shoot down at the buildings and people that are down here. I hear their screaming as I watch them run for safety.

"They're fish in a barrel down there." Steve remarks. A blast comes my way and I duck it. Natasha takes out her guns and shoots at the primary source that almost blasted me. Then, about five ugly aliens jump by and make their way to us.

"We got this. It's good. Go." Natasha tells Steve.

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

"Captain," Clint begins to adjust an arrow, "it would be my genuine pleasure."

I watch as Clint shoots an arrow at an alien which also kills the ones surrounding it. I'm actually impressed. I look at Steve who seems satisfied knowing Clint and Natasha can take it from here.

"Kate, fly me down there." Steve says pointing to the people and cops that are being circled with aliens. I nod and Steve makes a run from the bridge. As he's mid in the air, I fly up and grab his arm.

A couple aliens shoot my directions and I zig-zag around as they miss every shot. I watch an alien coming their way to a family that are smuggled by a bus. The father holds his children and wife as the alien proceeds closer to them with the staff like gun in its hands. I throw Steve where he finds himself needed and make my way to the alien that is holding his weapon ready to blast the family. I tackle the alien and drop him to the floor. He's readied his weapon and I motion my hand and throw his weapon off his grip. He screeches and roars so horribly and makes his way towards me. I motion my hands and have him thrown to the sky as a flying alien crashes onto him with their flying craft.

I find Steve having a conversation with a police officer and then beating a couple of aliens. I see one of them sneak behind him and I motion my hands to throw him at a building as hard as I can to knock him out unconscious.

"Thanks." Steve says to me. We turn our attention to where Nat and Clint are and see aliens surrounding them, "Come, on."

I grab Steve's hand and fly ourselves to them. I throw Steve down to the aliens surrounding Clint and he knocks them out with his shield.

I'm being tackled to the ground and open my eyes to see the ugly alien on top of me. His face is worse than I've ever imagined. It's so slimy and dark and plain ugly. It screeches at my face and I look at its ugly sharp teeth. I watch his hand raise as he's about to end me right there and then. But before he has the chance, I watch him shake as blue lighting circles around it's body. His body weighs on top of me and I push him off. I see a hand in front of me and look up to see that it belongs to Clint. I take it and he pulls me up on my feet.

"Thank you." I tell him. He nods and I turn around too see Thor. He's the one who practically saved my life with his lightning. I should thank him later.

"What's the story upstairs?" Steve asks him as Thor approaches us closer.

"The power around the cube is impenetrable."

"Thor's right. We got to deal with these guys." We hear Tong say. We look at the sky and watch a bunch of aliens flying around. To deal with this is like trying to calm the hulk back into Bruce Banner.

"How do we do this?" Natasha asks.

"As a team." Steve answers.

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

"Yeah? Get in line." Clint says as he adjusts an arrow. If anything, I'd like for Tony to blast Loki until he's not breathing. That'd probably end all this and bring some justice for Phil Coulson.

"Save it. Loki's going to keep this fight focused on us and that's what we need. Without him, these things could run wild." Steve says and walks in front of us as he examines a play through his head.

"What do you suggest us to do?" I ask. He turns around.

"Well, we got Stark up top. He's going to need us to-"

We hear a motorcycle engine approach us and we turn around. Bruce Banner makes his way to us in the motorcycle and then hops off. The clothes he's wearing is a bit baggy on him telling me that was his only choice of clothing. We walk towards him as he has finally shows up to the scene of chaos.

"So, this all seems horrible." He comments. There's dust, broken buildings, car flipped, cars on fire. It's worse than horrible. I just hope my cabin is untouched.

"I've seen worse." Natasha refers to when she had encountered Bruce back in the aircraft base when the engine failed. Her and Bruce were knocked over making Bruce turn into the Hulk. I wouldn't be pleased also if I had to see that in such circumstance.

"Sorry."

"No, we could use a little worse."

"Stark, we got him." Steve says to the earpiece.

"Banner?" Tony questions. He did tell us to keep him posted.

"Just like you said." Steve replies to him.

"Then tell him to suit up. I'm bringing the party to you." And just like that, my attention goes to the loud noise that peeks through a building. I watch as Tony flies to us with the big thing on his tail.

"I-I don't see how that's a party." Natasha comments feeling terrified of that huge thing. The huge thing nears us making my heart pound through my chest. If this is for Bruce, I'd like for him to do something about it, now.

"Dr. Banner," Steve stops Bruce whom is walking towards the big thing, "Now might be a really good time for you to get angry."

"That's my secret, Captain. I'm always angry." And with that, Bruce morphs into the big, green Hulk. His shirt rips along with his pants. The big thing nears us and I watch as Bruce forms a fist.

He punches the big thing just in time as he fully morphs into the Hulk. The big thing slows down from the punch and flips over. I watch Tony blast at it as the thing tears apart.

We all round up as the aliens screech from the disaster. The Hulk roars back and I fly up the same level as Tony.

This is just the beginning of this fight. To have aliens surrounding you us is so surreal. I would see movies of alien invasions and some being cartoons of it. But never have I thought in a million years that earth would be invaded with aliens. There's a 90 year old man, an assassin trained spy, an experiment gone wrong and green, a man with the eyes of a hawk, an egotistical tech with a metal suit than cam provide hundreds of things and a girl with gifted abilities facing what never thought would cross their paths; alien invasion.
