After getting lost a few times, I finally found the command deck. At some point, Tony had taken his suit off and was sitting at a table in his normal clothes. Steve was sitting at the other end of the table and Fury was standing and giving them both a lecture. They all turned to look at me when I walked in, but Tony quickly looked away.

"Sorry to interrupt," I told them, "I got lost." I took a seat next to Tony and waited for Fury to continue.

"As I was saying," Fury started, "Agent Coulson confronted Loki and was severely injured. He is currently in a coma induced by sever blood loss. We're not sure if he'll pull through the night, or not." Fury sighed and reached into his pocket for something. "These were in his jacket. Guess he never did get you to sign them." Fury threw the Captain America antique trading cards on the table. Some of them were still covered in blood. I stared at the cards and tuned Fury out. I was too tired and to caught up in my own thoughts to keep listening. Coulson wasn't dead. Loki didn't kill him, he listened to me. I sighed and smiled softly.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Tony asked and I looked up from my lap to look at him.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Tony, maybe we should-" Steve started to say, but was cut off by Tony.

"No, we're talking about going to war and she's over here smiling to herself." He was gripping the sides of his chair so tight with anger that his knuckles were white. My own anger was starting to rise and I laughed a bit.

"You wanna know where I was, Tony?" I asked him. "I was talking with Loki. I was trying to get him to trust me enough and spare Coulson."

"You suck at negotiations." Tony stared at me, almost challenging me.

"Agent Coulson is supposed to be six feet under right now, so I think I'm pretty fucking awesome." I stared back refusing to be the first to break eye contact. Tony finally gave in and looked away from me.

"Wait, so you changed something?" Steve asked. I looked away from Tony towards him and nodded.

"I liked Phil, he's adorable." I smiled. Tony scoffed beside me. I took a deep breath and turned my head to him.

"Tony, stop trying to find things to be angry at me for when you're really upset with our situation." I told him before I turned back to Fury. "So, Avengers?" Fury looked unimpressed with our arguing, but started explaining his plan for the Avengers Initiative.

"Kid," I heard Tony whisper from beside me. I turned my head slightly to look at him. "You're... right, I'm sorry. I'm frustrated and blaming you is easier." It was obvious that he didn't apologize often. It seemed foreign for him to do. I smiled softly and nodded, accepting the apology.

I focused back on Fury and yawned. I'd had a slight exhaustion headache for the past few hours now and it wasn't getting any better. Tony sighed and stood up in the middle of Fury's explanation of the Avengers.

"Come on." He said to me and walked out of the room. I looked between him and Fury, confused, before getting up and running after him.

"Tony, where are we going?" I called out to him. He stopped and waited for me to catch up.

"You'll see." He told me when I fell into step with him. Tony led me down a few halls and into a room. The room had a single cot against the left wall, a chair in the corner, a small dresser against the right wall, and a mirror and sink on the back wall. "We have a couple of hours before we leave. Lay down and get some shut eye." Tony told me once we entered the room.

"Tony-"

"Nope, this is non-negotiable. Now lay down and close your eyes." He said and pushed me to the bed. I sat down and stared at my feet.

"But, what if you're gone when I wake up? I don't want to leave yet."

Tony closed the door and grabbed the chair in the corner to pull it next to the bed.

"I'm not leaving until you're in lala land." He told me and sat down. I rolled my eyes, but laid down. The relief my body felt when I laid down was heaven. I was about to close my eyes when there was a knock on the door.

"Tony, we need to talk." Steve's voice came through the door. Tony got up from his chair and walked to open it.

"Yeah, just give me a second." He told Steve when he opened the door. I sat up slightly to see. "No, you lay down. You're not needed." He turned and said to me. "Just lay there and close your eyes, I'll be back in a minute." He then stepped out and closed the door behind him. I wanted to wait until he came back to close my eyes, but my eyelids and body felt so heavy. I yawned and finally let my eyes close as I started to fall asleep.

I woke up to someone shaking me. I opened my eyes to see Tony in his Ironman suit. It took my eyes a second for the room to come into focus, but when it did, I sat up quickly.

"I- I'm awake?" I said and looked at Tony.

"Yeah, but we have to go now. I would have left you here, but I don't trust Cyclops." Tony replied. I shook my head. I should have woken back up on my couch, in my little apartment, in North Carolina, not here.

"No, I'm awake." I emphasized. Tony finally caught on to what I was saying.

"Well, Captain Obvious, thanks for that realization." He told me. "Come on, we can talk more on the jet." I wanted to ask more questions, but knew the situation was urgent. Loki would be opening the portal soon, letting in hundreds of aliens to reek havoc upon New York. I stood and followed Tony to the runway.

"Wait!" I told him and stopped walking. "I need some things."

I quickly teleported to the weapons room and grabbed two ankle holsters and two 9mm pistols with some ammo. I then grabbed three more sets of knives. One being a set of two saber tooth daggers that fit into a lower back holster. The second being another throwing knife set, and the third was a short sword that holstered around the chest and upper back, so it was easy to grab. I then teleported back out to Tony.

"Ok, I'm ready." I told him while still hooking up the holster around my chest. It was a good thing I was wearing clothes that allowed me to move easily.

"Uh, what is that?" He asked me and I looked up from trying to get the strap tightened.

"It's a short sword." I told him.

"You're a civilian, you won't be fighting." He told me and turned to get on the jet. I jogged to catch up to him.

"You're technically a civilian, too, ya know. And you'll need all the hands you can get. I might not be on Nat or Clint's level with weapons, but I'm pretty damn good, especially with a knife. Plus, if it gets too much for me, I can just teleport out." I walked into the jet and took a seat.

"Fine, but you're on evacuation duty." Tony said while taking his mask off. I looked at him and froze.

"Am I crazy?" I asked. "Or in a coma? I've read that some people in comas can live out entirely different lives while asleep. Is that what's happening?" Tears came to my eyes and I bit my lip to keep them from spilling over. Tony looked at me with sad eyes.

"I don't know," he told me and sat next to me, "but we'll figure it out." He put an arm around me and I leaned into his suit.

"I could actually die here, huh?" I asked quietly.

"Let's not find out."

"Is everyone here?" Cap asked as he walked onto the jet. Clint and Nat were firing up the engines, with Clint in the pilot's seat and Nat as his second hand.

"Yep," Tony said and stood up to walk off the jet. He was going to fly ahead to try and stop Loki since his suit was faster.

"Good," Cap looked to me then back at Tony, "fly safe." He told him as Nat closed the jets hatch.

"Do me a favor and get Skydive an earpiece." Tony said before the hatch completely closed. Cap came and sat down in the seat previously occupied by Tony.

"So, he decided to let you come." He told me. I sighed and nodded.

"How long did I sleep for?" I asked.

"A little over and hour." He told me then stood up and walked over to Nat. They talked for a second before she handed him something and he turned to walk back over to me. "Here." He said and put a small device in my hand. "It's an earpiece, we all have one, so you can talk to us if you need to." I stared at it for a second before putting it in my right ear. "Test it, make sure we can all hear you." Cap suggested. I put my hand to my ear and tapped on the device.

"Testing, Tony, can you hear me?" I asked.

"Loud and clear, Kid." I heard him through the earpiece. I stood up and walked over to look out over the approaching New York skyline.

"Didn't know you could fight." Natasha said as she flipped a few switches. I smiled down at her softly.

"I'm nowhere near your level, but I'm decent with a gun, even better with a blade."

"Just don't get yourself killed, or anyone else for that matter." She told me and turned back to what she was doing. My smile fell at her words and I looked down.

"I'm Clint, by the way." I heard from my left. I turned to him and chuckled, the smile returning to my face.

"It's nice to officially meet you, Agent Barton, I'm Sammee." I said. He gave me a quick smile in response.

"How'd you get roped into this?" He asked, still looking at the sky.

"I fell from the sky, from a different world, and somehow got teleportation powers." I told him.

"Yep, that'll do it." He said making me laugh again. "T-minus two minutes." He called out while we flew through New York. We all watched Stark Tower as a bright blue beam shot into the sky and opened a wormhole. Chitauri immediately started flying through. I saw Tony start attacking, but there was too many of them.

"Stark, we're on your three, coming from the northeast." Nat told him.

"What, did you stop for drive-through? Swing up park. I'm gonna lay 'em out for you." He responded. I quickly went back and buckled myself in as we barreled past buildings. I closed my eyes when we flew straight at a building while shooting Chitauri. Clint pulled up to miss the building at the last second. The jet was basically vertical as it fired and flew towards Stark Tower. We leveled out as Loki and Thor came into view. They were battling on the tower.

"Nat?" Clint asked.

"See him." She responded and hit a few buttons.

I quickly unbuckled my seatbelt and stood up to look at Loki when the jet fired at him. He raised the scepter and pointed it directly at us. My eyes widened. I did not want to be in the jet when it crash landed. We were fairly close to the tower, so I picked a spot and quickly teleported as Loki shot a beam of energy at the jet.

The engine of the jet caught fire and it started to fall from the sky. I landed hard on my feet and fell to the ground, rolling on my back to look up at the sky. I was trying to catch my breath. That jump was farther than I expected. I could hear Loki and Thor grunting as they fought somewhere below me. I sat up and looked at where I landed. I was on one of the walkways around the building. Loki and Thor were on the walkway below me. I was going to get up and go to them when I heard a loud roar. I looked back up to see a Leviathan emerge from the wormhole. It was huge, like, bigger than expected, huge.

"Sammee, where the hell did you go?" I heard Cap yell from the earpiece.

"I-Uh- might have teleported to the tower. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." I said back.

"Stark, you seeing this?" Cap's next question was directed at Tony. He was referring to the worm looking Leviathan that was shooting out more Chitauri.

"Seeing. Still working on believing. Has Banner shown up yet?" He asked.

"Banner?" Cap questioned.

"Just keep me posted. And Sammee?" Tony said, getting my attention.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Stay away from Loki. He's out of your league. Let Thor take care of him."

"But, I'm the only one he might let close." I responded even though I had no intention of fighting Loki.

"Stay away!" Tony told me sternly before going back to whatever he was doing.

"Look at this!" I heard Thor yell from below me. "Look at what you've done! You think this madness will end with your rule?"

"It's too late." Loki responded. "It's too late to stop it." I got up and looked over the edge of the walkway to try and teleport to the one below. If I messed this up, it would be a long way down. I froze for a second and watched. Loki stabbed Thor which only further pissed him off. He grabbed his younger sibling and threw him into the ground, like a rag doll. Loki quickly rolled off the edge of the walkway and grabbed on to one of the Chitauri's Chariots as it flew by. Thor pulled out the small knife in his side and looked out in the direction his brother fled.

"Thor!" I called down, making him look up to me. "I need a lift."

"Sammee, where did you come from?" Thor asked as he looked up to me.

"I teleported when the jet went down. Now, I'm going to teleport to you, but in the event that I miss, please catch me." I told him before taking a deep breath and teleporting. Luckily, I landed right next to him. "Oh, thank god." I breathed when I opened my eyes.

"We've got civilians trapped down here." I heard from the earpiece and turned my attention to Thor.

"Can you bring me down? I can't teleport that far, yet." I said and looked at his injured side. He covered it and gave me a pained smile.

"Tis' but a flesh wound." He told me. "I can still carry you."

I smiled at him in thanks before he held an arm out to me and I stepped into him.

"Ready?" He asked as he wrapped his arm around my waist.

"No, but when will I ever be?" I mumbled.

"That's the spirit." He laughed. "Make sure to keep your knees bent." He said as he swung Mjolnir and lifted us into the sky. I closed my eyes and held onto him as we flew to the ground quickly. As he landed, Thor electrocuted some Chitauri. He released me and leaned against a flipped car for support while waiting for orders.

"What's the story upstairs?" Cap walked up to us and asked.

"The power surrounding the Cube is impenetrable." Thor responded and stood up straight.

"Thor's right," Tony said from the earpiece, "we got to deal with these guys."

"How do we deal with this?" Nat asked and looked around at all the destruction.

"As a team." Cap responded quickly.

"I have unfinished business with Loki." Thor said to Cap.

"Yeah, get in line." Clint commented.

"Save it." Cap quickly snapped. "Loki's going to keep this fight focused on us and that's what we need. Without him, these things could run wild. We got Stark up top. He's going to need us to-" Cap cut his speech short when a motorcycle approached from behind him. He turned to see Bruce pull up.

"Ah, Banner, you made it!" I called to him. He set the bike aside and walked up to the group.

"So, this all seems... horrible." He observed.

"I've seen worse." Nat said to him, referring to the Hulk. Bruce looked at her apologetically.

"Sorry."

"No, we could use worse." She smiled softly.

"We kinda need the not so jolly green giant right now." I smiled at Bruce.

"Stark, we got him." Cap said into the earpiece, letting him know that Bruce had shown up.

"Banner?" Tony responded. "Then tell him to suit up. I'm bringing the party to you." Tony rounded the corner with the Leviathan chasing after him. He was coming straight for us.

"I-I don't see how that's a party." Nat stared at the giant beast coming straight for us.

"Banner," Cap called out, "now's a good time to get angry."

Bruce started walking forward, towards the Leviathan and away from our little group. He turned to Cap and smiled.

"That's my secret, Captain, I'm always angry." Bruce said before turning and morphing into Hulk. The Leviathan ran head first into Hulks outstretched fist. When they collided, the Leviathan flipped in the air and started coming straight down, on top of us.

"Oh, fuck." I sighed. I was going to teleport away, but didn't need to. Tony flew down and shielded me.

"Hold on." He yelled as he sent some kind of explosive into the beast. All around us we heard the Chitauri's battle cry's as more Leviathan came from the portal above. Hulk roared back and I covered my ears.

"Guys..." Nat told us in warning while looking up at the sky.

"Call it, Captain." Stark said as we all looked up.

"All right, listen up. Until we can close that portal, our priority is containment." Cap told us all and turned to Clint. "Barton, I want you on that roof. Eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays." He turned to Stark next. "Stark, you've got the perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back, or you turn it to ash."

"Can you give me a lift?" Clint asked Tony.

"Right." He responded. "Better clench up, Legolas." Tony walked to Clint and grabbed him by the back of his jacket. They were in the air and flying off to do their jobs the next second.

"Thor," Cap turned back to give more orders, "you got to try and bottleneck that portal. Slow 'em down. You got the lightning. Light the bastards up."

Thor swung his hammer a few times and then flew into the sky, heading for the portal.

"The rest of us are staying on the ground, keep the fighting here." Cap said and turned to me. "If it gets too much for you, I want you to teleport out immediately. Don't try and be the hero." He said and waited for me to nod in agreement before turning to Hulk. "Hulk..." Hulk turned his head to look at us. "Smash." Cap told him and a giant grin spread to Hulks face before he jumped to the nearest building to attack.

"I wish I had time to stretch before this." I rolled my shoulders as I looked around. "Snooze, ya lose, I guess." I said, taking out my twin daggers and teleporting to the nearest enemy. I plunged one of my blades into its chest before teleporting to the next one. I did this several more times before stopping to catch my breath. "Is this a good time to tell you guys that I know how to close the portal?" I asked into the earpiece.

"What?" Nat yelled.

"You're telling us now?" Cap asked angrily.

"That's it, I'm sending you off to live with S.H.I.E.L.D. when all this is over." Tony commented.

"It didn't matter before because you can't close the portal yet." I told them. "Nat, start making your way up to the Cube." I paused to send a throwing knife into the skull of a Chitauri that was about to shoot a cowering family. "Get out of the streets!" I yelled to the family. "The national guard should be here any minute." I said back into the earpiece. "Nat, are you in the air, yet?"

"Yep." I heard back.

"Good. Barton, do you see Loki from your vantage point?" I asked.

"Negative." He responded.

I turned and teleported out of the way of a beam sent by one of the Chitauri's guns. Unfortunately, I teleported too close to another Chitauri and got thrown to the ground. I turned my head just in time to miss a spear going through it. The end of the spear still cut my cheek though. I sucking in a sharp breath and teleported behind the Chitauri. I slashed its heels, making it fall to its knees. I pulled it's head back and slit through its throat with my blade.

"Got eyes on Loki." Clint said as I teleported into another Chitauri and sent one of my blades into its skull.
