the other side.

We did it.

I told Hulk to watch over him before I came back, and ran over to where Nat was. Selvik was there too, and he was looking down at something.

"Natasha, what's going on?" I ask. She looks at me.

"The staff, it can shut the portal." She answers.

"Then why isn't it in your hand?" I question, looking over at Selvik to see him looking at me.

"It's down there, where the Hulk is." I look over him to see the staff laying there. I look at him.

"One moment." I jump down, landing on my feet perfectly and grabbing the scepter. I jump back up to them and hand Natasha the scepter. I look into the battle to see Thor on the chariots and Tony exploding a Chitauri Leviathan from the inside out. Hawkeye just ran out of arrows, so he uses one that he already shot, making a grappling arrow and swinging himself into a building. Hulk was taking a beating by the chariots after he knew Loki was not leaving and took off to fight more. Before I could help them out in any way, a strong power surges through me.

'It's coming.'

"Lemme guess, the nuke?"

'Correct, Miss.'

"Welp, ready up, let's go."

Natasha is getting ready to close the portal with Selvik typing away at the computer, but I have an idea.

"Guys, wait!" She turns to me quickly, worried.

"Don't close the portal yet. A nuke is coming." I say. Her eyes widened quickly.

"Don't move, I'll put it in the portal." I lift myself off the ground, and fly over to Stark.

"Tony, I need your help." I plead. He nods but then freezes.

"Were you going to tell me about a missile, Galactica?" Stark intervenes.

"That was the plan." We both took off, looking around to where the missile could be headed. I gasp as I see a jet in the distance, carrying the missile and getting ready to launch it. He drops it and it takes off flying, we follow it, I grab the left side, Tony grabs the right. We start to lift it up, leading up to the portal.

"Kid, I've got this, go!" Tony shouts

"There's no way in hell I'm leaving you behind!" I yell back.

"Natasha, are you ready?" I yell into the comms.

"Whenever you guys fly out, I'm closing it." Natasha states.

"Guys that's one way ticket!" Cap shouts desperately.

"It's either us or New York, Cap." Tony shouts. Tony looks over at me, and I smile, tearing up a bit. We fly into the portal and throw the nuke as far as we can. I look over to Tony smiling, but it drops quickly as I realize that he's freezing up. I look down at myself to see I'm fine, so I fly over to him, grabbing him tightly and flying to the portal. They must've thought we were gone, so the portal started to close. My eyes widen in desperation as I try to speed up, flying out of the portal quickly before it shut. My eyes fill with tears as I hug Stark close, falling through the sky. I lead him over to the others, dropping him gently. I take off the face plate, seeing him still unconscious. I get slightly frantic, grabbing his shoulder.

"Stark, Tony, don't do this to me, please." I plead to him. Steve, Thor, and Hulk stood around me as I tried to shake him awake, but to no avail. There was a pause, and tension was thick as we hoped that he was alive. Then suddenly Hulk shouts, startling him awake. I sighed deeply in relief and hugged him tightly.

"What the hell? What happened?" He questions as I pull away, smiling at him as I let tears fall. "Please tell me no one kissed me."

I giggle, slightly out of breath as I smile widely.
