The Legacy of the Avengers

Chapter 38

Third Person POV
Thea watched the dark sky as they ran into the other building. So many things were running through her mind, but she had to stay focused.

Brooklyn noticed. She decided not to say anything, as she wasn't good with handling other people's emotions.

"Thea? Brooklyn?"

The whole group turned towards the three blondes closest towards the east side wall. Thea furrowed her eyebrows, "Preston? Brittney? What are you guys doing in here? We could have used you out there, you know."

"Fury told us to stay here," Preston Danvers argued.

"We listen to the authorities."

"Shut up, Danvers. I don't need you right now."

Brooklyn too a step in front of Thea, "Well what about your mom? Shouldn't she be here?"

The siblings shrugged, "We don't know."

"Classic Danvers," Clint Barton nodded.

"Would you like to join us?" Echo asked. "The more people involved, the more likely we are to defeat him."

"Maybe later," Preston nodded.

Thea turned to her group, "Let's go then." The group ran up the stairs. They went into Rocket's classroom; they shut the class door behind them. Thea went up to Rocket's desk.

Brooklyn came up next to her as Thea began to use the board, "So, what's your plan?"

"You'll see," Thea opened up a map of the campus with parts of the city. She turned back to her group. They all seemed a little less stressed. They all seemed to be tuned into what she was going to say. She began, "This, as you all can see, is the Academy. Now while I was up in the spacecraft, I noticed something."

Thea tugged on her necklace twice. She turned to screen. On the screen, another image projected. It was of the campus, but there were certain words and indications.

"That's the Academy," Castor spoke.

"Yep."

"They've been watching and planning," Castiel was putting the puzzle pieces together.

"That was my guess," Thea nodded. "Now," she picked up a special marker, "here is where the ship should be coming in," she circled a building closer to the grand city. She wrote the time she had seen: 10:45.

"What's that?" Echo asked.

"The time they should arrive."

"Oh shit," Toni looked down to her watch. "It's 9:55."

"Meaning we have to find a plan quick."

"Why can't we just dive in head first?" Steve Rogers's voice echoed from the front of the parents.

Thea turned to the parents, "Because every time you go in without a plan, it fails. So we're planning it out. First line of business, we have to steer them away fro the grand city. It'll help lessen the amount of destruction. Any ideas?"

Nobody spoke up at first. They all seemed to be thinking but not able to come up with anything. Except for Lilith, "You want them away from the city, right?"

"Yeah."

"Why don't we try to steer them into the country side?" She asked. "Guide then almost."

"I like that," Thea nodded.

"Like to the place we played in the snow," Leanne smiled.

"Yeah, we'd have to drag them out farther than that though," Brooklyn agreed.
