(A/N) Okay guys I am back! I am again so sorry for not updating in awhile, but on the bright side I have more free time opening up and I want to use it to work on the story.

P.S. Hope you like the cliff hanger;)

Twenty seconds.

TWENTY SECONDS!

That's all it took for me to realize that something was wrong. Twenty seconds ago I had left my room to check on the rest of the team; a little too late I suppose. While humming one of the old Asgardian songs that I used to sing, I walked down the hall. Suddenly, there was a loud 'BOOM' and the whole helicarrier. I was thrown off balanced and landed against the wall that was on my left side; only to slide to the ground. A few seconds later agents started rushing around me to get to their stations. My left arm hurt a little, but thanks to my Asgardian genes, it didn't hurt as much as it would have.

"What happened?" I asked one of the agents that was running around.

"There was an explosion in Banner's lab. Loki's crew is here." She then proceeded to hand me an ear piece and run off again. I quickly put on the ear piece.

"...engine down."

"...ent down. I need a med crew here NOW!"

"We need to close off deck 4 sec….."

"..more agents needed outside Loki's cell."

Through all the chaos, there was one voice that stood out to me. Fury.

"Agent Coulson is down."

"The medical team on the way to the location." I heard Agent Hill's reply.

"They're here." He said. "They called it."

I hadn't known Coulson for long, but for the short time that I did know him, I knew he was worth saving. He was the type of man that would do anything for you if you had his back. He would do anything for you if you were worth saving. He was kind. He was generous. And he was gone.


"Clint?" I called out from the recovery room. "You in there?" After a brief pause, I heard a voice from inside.

"Come in." Said the voice.

I heard a click from the door, indicating that the door had been unlocked. Opening the door, I stepped into the recovery room. It was was a simple room with grey walls, a bed a chair and a table. There was also a bathroom adjoining the room. Natasha was standing of the side, leaning on the wall. I looked around the room once more before looking at her once again.

"Where's Clint?" I asked.

It was the that Clint walked out of the bathroom probably hearing my voice. He had bags under his eyes and he had a few cuts here and there, but nothing to horrible. After a moment, I slowly walked to him and gave him a hug.

"Don't you ever do that do me ever again." I said while pulling away.

"It's not like I planned on getting captured." He said.

At that moment the door behind us opened. Steve stood there looking directly at Natasha. He had that look in his eyes that I had seen so many times before that years ago. The star spangled man with a plan once more.

"Time to go." Steve said.

"Go where?" Natasha asked.

"I'll tell you on the way. Can you fly one of those jets?"

Instead of Natasha responding, Clint perked up beside me. "I can." Steve looked over at Natasha and then at me, silently asking us if he was back to normal. After we both nodded our heads in conformation, Steve looked at Clint once again.

"You got a suit?"

"Yeah."

"Then suit up." Before turning away, Steve paused. "Oh and Clint? It's finally nice to meet you."


Tony was on his way to New York already, deciding it was probably best to see what sort of state Loki had put his tower through while Steve, Natasha, Clint and I were following behind with a quinjet. We were going to arrive in about five minutes, and so far I hadn't seen any smoke coming up from New York which was a good sign.

"ETA?" Asked Steve from beside me.

"4 minutes." replied Natasha.

It was then that we saw a bright blue beam of light go upward from the Stark tower. From above us I could see that it had opened a portal, presumably to the Chitauri. A moment later my suspicions came true.

They came pouring out of the portal, and they were huge. From above, they started spreading across the city. The people below started screaming as they began destroying towers and killing people.

"Stark, we're heading north east." Natasha set from the front of the jet.

"What, did you stop for drive-through?" Replied Stark. "Swing through park, I'm gonna lay them out for you."

We began shooting them down, but pretty soon one of our wings got hit. Clint mounevered the quinjet around the towers so as not to hurt the people inside and us. Steve and I held onto the hand grips above us, as the quinjet started to come down.

"Hang on guys this is going to be a bumpy landing."

We were swinging back and forth, Steve and I, and then the quinjet hit the ground. I lost my grip and fell to the ground as the quinjet went forward a bit, stopping as it hit a building.

"Well I'll give you an A for effort Clint, but it's definitely not the best landing ever."

"Hey! I'll have you know that I was the best quinjet flyer in my class."

"How many were in your class Clint." He coughed a second before mumbling "one."

"ONE?!" I cried out.

Natasha started snickering beside Clint as she finished unbuckling her seat belt.

"How did you even hear me?" He asked.

"Incredibly good hearing. "I said which was true. "And I read your lips."

I heard more snickering from Natasha and even Steve joined in. Clint walked up to me and gave me a light punch in the arm. It didn't hurt that much because I had Asgardian blood in me, but I figured for a normal human it would have hurt a little bit. I let out a little, "Ow," to give his bruised ego a little bit of satisfaction.

"Come on guys." Steve called from outside the quinjet. "We need to get back up there."

"I think we should start by worrying up what's down here Steve."

We spread out on the street and started attacking the Chitauri. There were civilians that were running along the streets trying to get away from the monsters that were attacking their city. I made it my priority to help those people while Steve and the others took down the Chitauri. There was one little boy that stuck out to me in the crowd of people. He was staring at me and he didn't look frightened at all. After a moment of each of us staring at each other, he slowly turned away. He began walking into one of the building on the street that we were on. I was about to leave him to go into the building when I saw one of the giant Chitauri coming at the building. If I didn't get the boy out of there he would be crushed!

I started running to the building hoping and praying that I wasn't to late. The door that led into the building was crushed already so it was easy to jump through the giant gaping hole in the building. Looking around the building I spotted the boy going up one of the back staircases.

"WAIT!?" I called to the boy.

He didn't stop when he heard me call, but instead kept going up the stairs. I dashed after him and took the stairs two at a time. We were on the third floor before I finally reached him. I grabbed onto his arm and looked out the window. It was too late to get out, we were going to be crushed.


My eyes felt heavy when I finally came back to my senses. I couldn't see anything all around me and so I decided to try to open my eyes. It was then that I realized that they were already open and that it was just pitch black wherever I was. I tried moving my finger and toes and found that I could. Then I tried moving my wrists and arms, but realized that I was restrained. I felt cold metal cuffs on both of my wrists and my legs too. There was also one on my abdomen too.

The air all around me humid which was weird because the last thing I remembered was trying to save a little boy. It had been dusty there with all the building that were being destroyed. I looked around where I was once again, but I still couldn't see anything.

"Where am I?" I whispered to myself, but nobody answered.
