(Y/n)'s P.O.V.

Steve and I sprinted to engine 3, which I found out was the one I just repaired yesterday. (Wow Barton, great shot, really...).

"Stark's not here yet!", Steve yelled.

"Says who?", Said Iron Man flying through. I jumped from the broken edge only to show back up on a mini cyclone, which kept me in air. I went and stood next to Stark.

"Let's see what we got.", He said.

"We gotta work getting the super conducting cooling system back online before we can access the roters.", I analysed.

"Or work on dislodging the debris.", The billionaire added.

"Let's do just that, shall we Mr. Stark?"

"Indeed we shall, your highness." I smirked and put my fore finger to my comm.

"Steve, you still there?", I asked.

"Yeah! What should I do?", He asked.

"I need you to get to that engine control panels and tell me which relays are in over load positions.", I said. Steve jumped in order to reach the panel.

Tony went to remove some metal from a part of the engine but I beat him to it. I bent the metal with my powers and at last ripped it off of the object.

"Or you could do that.", He said cocking his head.

"I always do that, Stark. It's fast and efficient.", I replied.

By now, we had assumed that Steve had reached the panel.

"What does it look like?", Tony asked.

"It seems to run on some kind of electricity", Steve stated. I rolled my eyes at how obvious he was but held my sharp remark back. 

"Well you're not wrong.", Tony approved.

"Okay the relays are intact! What's our next move?", The other asked again.

"Even if we clear the rotors, this thing won't re engage without a jump.", Stark commented blasting another part of the engine with his repulsor. 

"I will have to go in there and push."

I smirked.

"Or..."

I diverted all my power and concentration to that turbine. I manipulated the metal so that all the debris was out and the rotors were clear.

"There!", I said announcing my victory.

"Well, that's one less thing to worry about.", Iron Man said.

"You're welcome!"

"Hey Kaal? You are needed here!", Fury barked into my ear piece. My grin was replaced by a scowl.

"Why? What's the matter?", I questioned.

"Hulk and Thor seem to have gotten into a friendly argument.", He replied. As all of us were connected to each other my two current companions also heard it.

"Excuse me, but did he just say Hulk?", Steve asked.

"Yes he did.", I said quietly. Then, I turned to look at Tony.

"Think you can handle this?"

"Yup. You go and make sure Hulk doesn't tear this place up like a paper plane.", He said adding a bit of humour to ease the situation a bit. I snickered and flew out.

Author's P.O.V.

Little did (Y/n) know that the place where she flew away from and the place she flew to, had all hell broken loose.

Perhaps the place she flew to would hit her the worse.

(Y/n) flew as soon as she could to the last place she had seen her best friend in: the science lab. Something in her told her that it was the right location and surely enough there on one side in a fighting stance, was Thor and on the other was her best friend or now because he was angered, Hulk.

Thor felt someone a presence behind him and he snapped his head to see who it was. When he saw that it Lady Kaal he was about to greet her when she put a finger over her lips to indicate for him to be quiet, as she approached the beast he was fighting.

"Hey, Green Bird..." She said in a soothing manner, as if to an infant. Hulk turned to see who it was and his eyes softened when he saw her.

"Long time no see... How have you been?", (Y/n) said casually putting her hand in her brother's.

"Hulk angry!", He responded.

"Aww.... Is he now? It's alright big guy... Everyone feels angry at times... Including me!", She said calmly. Hulk seemed shocked.

"Even Kaal angry?", He said in a voice which made it clear that this version of her best friend couldn't believe that she could get angry on someone, which caused her to laugh.

"Yes, even I get angry at times but you know what calms me down?" The green giant shook his head like a 2 year old.

That's it..., She thought. He will be back in a few minutes...

Unfortunately, she only thought.

"Well the thing that calms me down is----"

"Lady Kaal!", Thor yelled from behind. Before she could react, the Norse god had pulled her away and dived behind another table in the great lab.

When (Y/n) looked, her heart shattered into a million pieces. Where once her adorkable brother stood, was a demolished desk and a big hole in the glass. She wanted to cry and break down at that very moment. She had just lost her best friend, her brother in fact that too, in that condition. But Thor's voice reminded her of who and what she was.

"Lady Kaal, I am very sorry for your loss... I understand what Dr. Banner meant to you. He was your best friend, your brother in fact.", The blonde demigod said helping her up.

The princess of the United Provinces of Pragjyotispur cleared her throat and closed her eyes for a moment to compose herself.

She couldn't break down now. Not when her team needed her the most. Besides she was not one of those pathetic princesses who cry at every single thing.

No. She was a determined, regal, strong and bold woman who never kneel to any challenge thrown at her. She was Kaal, for heaven's sake! Her parents raised her better than this. They raised her to rule a whole kingdom! Be a Queen! Not sit and weep around!

"Thank you Thor, I appreciate it. Now let's get back to the battle." And without another word, Kaal went out with her cape blowing behind her, because of the wind from the window, Thor following closely behind her. 

Thor's respect towards (Y/n) increased immensely. He fully expected her to break down crying and even got ready for the emotional thunder storm. He thought that he would have to console her, instead she acted as if nothing happened and focused on the matter at hand. She knew how to handle her emotions, something even he was incapable of doing. 

Thor was going to check his brother's cell and he thought even Kaal had the same intentions but when he saw her change her route he became curious.

"Where are you going?", He asked. 

"Back to the engine room. I would like to have at least one of my missions complete without anything going haywire. You go check on your brother.", She said a fire burning in her eyes. He nodded his head and they parted ways.

When (Y/n) reached her previous position she was met with a rather funky sight. First, she had to deal with one of Loki's men who had made the foolish mistake of pointing his gun at her. She did nothing but laughed on the inside at the man's utter foolishness, maintaining an emotionless facade. 

She knocked the machine gun out of his hand with a kick and then without wasting any more time she judo flipped him, snapping his neck. 

"Amateurs.", She muttered. She climbed the metal stair case provided to get to the control panel wasn't really what she was expecting. Captain America was dangling from a wire, inches away from falling to his death. 

"Kaal, help!", He yelled. 

"I go out for 5 minutes and you boys are already falling to your deaths?!", She yelled. 

"Steve, grab my hand!" Steve complied and clutched himself to her right arm. To add on to the pressure, they heard Tony's voice.

"Cap, hit the lever.", He said.

"I kind of busy!" Tony squinted his eyes inside his suit.

"Then Kaal, hit the lever."

"I too am a little preoccupied here!", She replied finally pulling the super soldier inside.

"Honestly! What are you two doing up there?", Iron Man asked, now exhausted.

"Oh I don't know? Perhaps saving a super soldier!", Kaal responded.

"Well hurry up because I am about to become Iron Juice from Iron Man!", Tony urgently said.

With one strong pull (Y/n) managed to pull Steve Rogers up and now both of them sat there panting.

"Thanks...", Steve said between breaths. As an answer she nodded.

"The lever...", She said pointing at the red lever between breaths.

"Huh...? Oh yeah...", Steve got up and pulled the lever down.

Only he couldn't. As soon as the duo of super heroes got up, someone started showering them with bullets. Steve's reflexes kicked in and put his shield in front of them to block it.

Apparently the rogue who (Y/n) had killed, wasn't alone. 

"Steve!", Tony yelled in panic. 

The crown princess's instincts kicked in and her brain switched to autopilot. She herself pulled the lever down, with Steve's shield sheltering her and got up. 

Three seconds after the lever was pulled, Stark launched in like a torpedo and grabbed the first man by the neck, snapping it. When the rest tried to attack him he got he burnt them with his repulsor. 

Once all that was left of the rogues were ashes, the billionaire flew up to join is team mates. 

"Irritating pests.", He spat. 

The other two allowed themselves to chuckle a bit, with the one clad in red and gold armour joining in. All three of them had established a friendship after this little near death situation and the ambiance became lighter than before. Then Fury's voice rang through their earpieces. 

"Coulson is down.", He said in a solemn voice.

*Time Skip*

(Y/n)'s P.O.V. 

The situation we currently were in was not very promising, to say the least. The attack damaged us from inside out. Phil Coulson had been martyred, Thor and Hulk were god knows where.

Thankfully, to Tony's, Cap's and my expertise the heli carrier was still afloat but our spirits and hearts has sunken several feet below the ocean.

I was sitting on my bed in my room trying to forget the fact that I had let my best friend get attacked and get stranded in such a vulnerable situation.

I wanted to blame someone.

Maybe Fury?

Why did have to give the order to launch the bird in the first place? Because I was taking too much time to calm the Bruce down.

Maybe myself?

Why did I have to bring him along with me knowing what could have happened? Why didn't I stop him? Because he would have come anyway.

Maybe him?

Why did he have to be so stubborn and gullible? Because he is Bruce Banner.

A drop of water from my right eye navigated it's way down my face to the my boot. I had never felt so helpless in my entire life.

Before anymore tears could follow, I quickly pushed the power button on my phone lying beside me and called the only person who could cheer me up. My mom.

I could have signal on my phone even if I was in an aircraft because I had made a few modifications to it so that I could call and recieve calls from anywhere.

Once the rings ended, I heard my mom's ethereal voice ringing through my ears.

"Look who decided to call.", She said playfully.

"Hi Maa.", I said with a sniffling.

"Hi, sweetie. How are you up there?" I looked around once before answering. My head dropped into my palm.

"Honestly mom, not good.", I answered, my voice becoming thick and a few water droplets following.

But then I regained my composure, telling myself that if I start with my sob story again, what better am I than those other pretty pink princesses? Besides, I can't cry in front of my mother. What will she think?

"But nothing I can't handle.", I said with a fake cheerful voice. Mom caught my lie in an instant.

"Baby girl, you don't need to put up a mask for me. You know that if it's front of anyone you can cry, it's me. So tell me, what's wrong (Y/n)?", She asked with a sweet voice, as if talking to 5 year old me.

This broke my dam of self control and I let my tears fall like rain.

"M-mom...", I managed to croak.

"Yes?", She asked patiently.

" L-Loki's goons a-tacked the heli carrier and..."

"And?", She asked.

"I-I lost Bruce... Wh-en he w-was still in his H-Hulk form...", I blurted.

Now I was sobbing. I expected my mother to scold me. Perhaps freak out. But she did something entirely on the contrary.

"Do you have any idea where he might be?", She asked completely composed.

"N-no. I don't. But he is in the United States for sure.", I said calming myself down.

"Alright, then. You don't worry about it. And stop crying. It's not going to solve anything. On the other hand it will complicate things." When I didn't stop my mom went on.

"Do you think Mula Gabhoru gave up once her husband was martyred in war?"

"Do you think Razia Sultan sat and wept when the Chalisa did support a woman on the throne?"

"Do you think Rani Lakshmi Bai broke down crying when her husband died?"

"No! They didn't! They went out there and proved to the people who tried to mess with them it was the biggest mistake of their lives. So, get out there and show that Loki fellow that you NEVER mess with a blue blood or her friends!", Mom concluded.

I closed my eyes. Mom was right. Sitting here and crying won't do squat. It's time we faced this green seaweed head on and teach him not to mess with us again. Time to show him who the Avengers truly are.

In short, it's showtime baby!
