A lesson learned?
I did not know how, but I managed to live.
They all changed, they were no longer normal everyday people with average names, they’d turned into highly lethal, badass superheroes within the snap of a finger.
It all happened at once, before either Ben or Susan could say or do anything-they attacked. And oh-boy did these superheroes attack hard.
First things first I had to get Spiderman off of me, I bring my elbow down hard on his back. He tried to dodge it but I was quick, he crumbles to the ground and I muttered a sorry to him. I tried to think of what to do but my brain froze (no pun intended).
Captain America (Trust me he was no longer Steve Rogers), caught me in the chin with his shield. Where had that come from?
I fell back hard on the ground, the wind knocked out of me. Get up! I yelled at myself.
I must not look weak.
I must not look pathetic.
I must beat these guys, prove I can be a superhero. Or they’ll forever look down on me.
Wow girl where did all that come from? You can’t beat these guys. We’ve got SHIELD agents up in here!
I lunge up and come up in a crouching position, I scan the crowd. Teen superheroes to the left, adult superheroes in the back with Susan and Ben to my right. They left a wide arch between me and them. Looking at me, judging me, probably think I was an easy kill.
“Wow, wait guys it-” Ben walks forward but was soon tackled me a big green Hulk.
“When did he get here!?” I said.
“Look,” Tony Stark commanded from the back. His armor flew in through the window (and no they weren’t open), all the several pieces fitting perfectly onto his body. “Who are you and who sent you?” it was Iron Man whom finished the sentence.
“Er…” oh that must’ve sounded really smart.
I made a run out of the room, no way am I fighting now. I’d be dead by the first breath. When I turned my back I caught an ever so slight sound, like whooshing…something was coming at me.
I jump and do a straight upside-down-360-balletspin. Mini darts sail passed my hair out the wide arch door and impale themself into the opposite wall. The wall paper sizzles and begins to singe.
I land on an empty chair and Spiderman gets up and shots his web at me. I grab it before it can make contact and I swing him around like a rag doll. He hits Ava- I mean- Tigress square in the guts and the fly back, knocking over an assortment of drinks.
“Sorry!”
“Avengers Assemble!” Iron Man yelled.
Hulk stood up with a grunt, his foot still on Ben. The Blonde hot guy that was sitting next to Black Widow got up and pulled out a purple stub from his pocket. It instantly converted into a bow, he pulled out another stub from his other pocket and it became an arrow. Yeap, no doubt about it. That’s Hawkeye.
The brunette next to Susan instantly shrunk in size till she had wings. Black Panther crouched down into the stalking pose. Iron Man flew up in his armor, Captain America was holding onto his shield which had miraculously bounced off my chin, to the lamp, from the roof and back into him.
Oh hell no! 6 out of 10 Avengers?
I dash from the room like my life depended on it, heck, it did!
I feel a thick rope snack around my waist as I make it to the corridor. It yanks me back, deep into the room, and slams me down into the corner next to an arm chair. If the DC Universe were real I’d’ve thought it was Wonder Woman, it was Nick Fury.
“Don’t let her escape. Who knows how longs she’s been here. She must know all your secret identities by now.” I fought with the rope to get free. I look up, Ben was still tackled to the ground, Susan was trying to talk but no one could hear her over the uproar of noise. The chair I landed next to was the one Johnny and Fifi occupied. Give me a break! Johnny was grinning down at me evilly, as if saying- I knew you’d screw this up.
Knock, knock, knock
Hello? Earth to Victoria, you have superpowers, remember!
I’d face palm myself if I wasn’t in a life and death situation.
I freeze the rope to the point that it snaps in half. I get up but Cap.(short for Captain America) gets another good shot at me with his shield and I slam against the window, barely managing to stay on my feet. I felt dizzy, I lift my head up and an arrow sticks to the glass 3 mille-inches from my left ear. The arrow doesn’t detonate or seep out liquid, contract, retract, explode or anything else that would doom me.
“That was a warning arrow, tell us who you are and who sent you. And the next one might just slight disfigure you.” Hawkeye already had another arrow drawn and ready, he had a cocky grin on his face, drool!
“I’m not a spy. I’m a hero, well not really-I’m mean- not yet. I will be, urh-” I look around. At the disbelieving faces. The one that stood out the most was Reed’s.
His mouth set in a grim line, his eyes blazed. Reed was a handsome man no doubt, but the way he looked now, even the Grim Ripper would cower in fear. “How about we kill her now, find out who she is later?” he said.
My mind went blank.
“WHAT!?” Susan screeched.
“Sounds good to me” Hawkeye said.
Susan jumped forward. “Reed, are you out of your mind? That’s our-umhf!”
Reed had stretched his arm to wrap around Susan and cover her mouth. “Susan you can’t protect everyone.” Reed looked to the crowd whom were surprised that he just did that to his wife. “She must’ve brainwashed Susan and Ben. Attack!”
“You don’t have to tell us twice,” Tony said from 6 feet in the air. “Take her down guys.”
I barely registered what he said, it was Reed I was focusing on. What was he trying to do? Punish me? Train me? Kill me most likely…
I was so filled with rage that I didn’t know I made the first move.
My veins felt tight, my muscles contracted. I felt the pressure build up in my whole body, the temperature of the room dropped in a snap, the collective breathes of everyone mingled, clearly visible, I lift my hands up and trust them out. And a blizzard of snow materialized out of nowhere and covers the whole place.
Rage, I was angry. And I hate being angry.
I blast a torrent of ice up at Tony and freeze all his circuits, he drops out of the sky and clanks to the floor.
“Rrrgaaaar!” Hulk charged at me. While I looked at him I noticed that Hawkeye was taking aim. I stomp my feet in Hulk’s direction and fling my arm out in Hawkeye’s.
Let’s just say that Hulkcicles don’t look half bad. Hawkeye on the other hand looked ridiculous, a big chunk of ice froze his head with long pointy ends like and water was shot at him and the water froze on contact. A cartoon smile frozen comically on his face.
Black Widow raises her forearm at me, taking aim with her golden bracelets. She shoots poison darts at me-so it was her!-I do a waving-rolling-wave motion with my arms, the darts freeze in midair, her feet along with the floor.
“Ah! What the-?” I didn’t let her finish the sentence, I jump up and knock her out cold with a power punch.
Cap. tried to hit me in the back with his shield but I form an ice club and whack it back. It hits Peter square in the head as he tried to get up, knocking him back onto Ava.
Who’s next? I look around the room. Black Panther was still crouching down low, looking, learning, waiting for me to attack.
I hold my hand up in a peace gesture, “I don’t want to fight you.”
“Coming from someone who attacked first.” Cap said.
“No I,-argh!” I grind my teeth. “Just listen-Ah!”
Someone jumps me from behind, grabbing me in a death grip, cutting off my air supply.
“Not a chance sweetheart,” Nick’s gruff voice said.
I push my butt out, tip him over and try to flip him. He anticipated that, as he was halfway up he rotates in midair, reverse me and slams down. Almost knocking my lights out.
I cry out it pain but bite it half way through.
I feel the tears sting my eyes.
I blast him with so much ice cold snow that he hits the roof and falls back to the ground.
It was then Black Panther decided to attack, Wasp also buzzing into action.
“You think you can sneak in here without getting your butt kicked? Guess again!” she squeaked, or I think she did. She just looked so darn cute when she’s so tiny.
Zzap!
“Ow! What the fu-“ the color purple and tiger claws flash before me. I stumble back, are these people crazy? Those claws could’ve cut right through me! I look around for help, Ben regaining his balance and Susan was almost free of Reed’s bonds.
But I couldn’t wait for them. I slam my palm on the floor and freeze it, Panther slips as he was coming at me, I swing my fist at him knocking him back a good 5 feet.
Bzzzz
Without even looking I swing my hand back and slap Wasp out of the sky. I hear her thump against the window, “Oof!”
“I’m sorry!” I hold my mouth. This is bad, this is really really bad!
“Hahahaah!” Johnny bursts out laughing in the corner.
“Johnny!” I hear Susan manage to say, but Reed just wraps his arm around her even tighter.
Ben starts to get up, then the ground rumbles and shakes.
Cracking could be heard.
“HULK MAD!!” he roars as he breaks free, his huge beefy arms fraying wildly. He charges towards me, I curl up on the ground, put my arms over my head and just wait to die.
Vump!
I dared to take a peek, Hulk was busy banging against thin air. Force field!
I look towards Susan, her arm had fought through her bonds and was extended towards me.
She looked mad.
Ben charged at an unsuspecting Hulk.
BANG, BANG, BA-BA-BANG!
“RAAAAAAAAAR” Hulk’s roar shook the whole room. “Why you no smash!” he lifted is massive arms one more time, banged the forcefield so hard he bounced back. I hear Susan cry in pain. As Hulk stumbled back his arm were waving around madly, whacking Ben right in the middle of the head like he a giant whack-a-mole and he crumbled to the floor. He wouldn’t wanna hear that later.
“Ahahahaha-hohohohho!!” Johnny fell to the floor with tear streaming down his eyes.
I would’ve given anything to kick him.
It looked like Hulk was having an internal battle with himself, he ran towards me, I squealed-laaaame!-but he runs into the already wrecked window, burst through the glass, an runs rampant through mid-town New York. Uh-oh…
I look down from the window, cars screeched to a stop, car alarms filled the air, plus screams of men, women and children.
“Oh man,” I moan, “I am in so much trouble.”
“You bet you are, little lady”
I turn just in time to avoid Cap’s side punch.
Now I know what you’re thinking, there’s no way I could take Captain America in a fight. Well think again, I am an awesome fighter, but that’s a very long, very believable, story for another day.
“Any chance we can, you know, not fight?” I smiled at him.
“Ha, no”
He swings his shield at me, I coat my arm in thick chunks of ice and ram the shield skywards. It impales itself into the ceiling and sticks.
My mind clears and clicks into fight mode, I just hope I don’t dent Captain America’s rock hot face cause if anyone did I would scream bloody murder. Can rocks be hot?
Fighting is like dancing, you let the other guy lead…the male voice that had advised me years ago rings back.
He starts with a right punch. I side step and tried to jap at his neck, he ducks and grabs my legs and off balances me. I tip back but I slam my palms against floor and push myself back up, I sweep my leg under him but he jumps at the last moment. I lunge at him while he’s still in midair. We fall onto a frozen but slowly thawing Iron Man.
“Keep her busy Cap! My circuits are almost done self-heating.”
Oh-no.
He grabs me under my tummy and flings me into the air, I blast him down with snow but he rolls out of the way. I land and he rolls infront of me, smoothly coming to a stand. I start to breathe heavily but he didn’t even look like he broke a sweat.
I lift my leg high up to swing at his face, he grabs it like I though and I swing the other leg instead catching him in the jaw with a sweet thwak!
He stumbles but he still stands tall, quickly grabs my other leg and suspends me in midair. I have a bad feeling about this. He drags both my legs close to him, the junction of my thighs were so close to Caps face I feel a tingle go up my legs to my lady parts and I almost turn a healthy shade of strawberry red.
He brings my whole body down hard and I think my skull cracked abit. My body had a mini internal battle;
Brain: Oh hell no! I did not sign up for this sh*t!
Heart: C’mon she’s trying her best to stay alive. Don’t you just love her spirit?
Brain: The only thing I love is staying put! Instead of being giggled around in her small head.
Stomach: Guys? Uh…I don’t feel so good.
Arms: Would you guys shut up? We’re trying to keep the whole body alive here!
Brain: You limbs think your all that! I’m the one keeping us alive, not you!
Arms: Oh yeah? Well atleast I have thumbs! Na na na na naaaa
Stomach:*groan*
Brain: You bloody no good mother-
Heart: Language! We need to love one another and work in harmony to make this body move-
Brain and Arms: Shut up!
Legs: Oh My Gosh! Captain America’s face is touching me! Ahhhhhh! I’m in heaven!
I agree with my legs.
I blink my eyes, trying to get passed the daze. My ears ring.
Through the blur I see Cap getting up.
Legs: Not so fast dreamboat!
Brain/Me: Dreamboat? Really?
My legs clam round his neck and with all my last energy I fling him over my head.
He soars through the air but flips before he lands, ending up on his knees. I groan. I was tapped out and Cap looked like he was just getting started.
“Any chance we can call this a draw?” I asked sweetly.
“Not a chance,” he charges at me, I couldn’t even get up. But I had to, I had to scream at myself but I got up. I smile at the effort. Then Cap rams into my gut.
We tumble onto the snack table, chips, dips, and salsa sauce everywhere.
“Urh!” I don’t know where I got the energy to kick Cap off. Because I think I’m about to have a full systems shutdown.
He rolls away and gets up.
He looks down at me, his eye probing, analytical. Too little to late Steve!
“Get up,” he says.
I breathe heavily, I didn’t reply or move. Heck, I honestly think I can’t!
“Get up.” He repeats.
“I can’t,” I mumble. And to make myself seem even more pathetic, I groan. “I’m too tired…”
His eyes scan over me, if mashed potatoes weren’t dripping from my head I’d blush in flattery.
He walks up to me, I recoil away from him. His eyes looked hurt, as if shocked anyone would cower from him. He kneels down infront of me and wipes some mashed potatoes from my nose, he smiles at me, I smile back.
“You’re the girl in Reeds care aren’t you?” he whispers.
Auauauhh! My heart sings like a chorus of Angels.
I couldn’t do much but I launch myself forward and wrap my arms around him, tears streaming from my eyes. He holds my waist and gets to his feet, gently carrying me up.
“I’m sorry,” he whispers to me, tucking a wet strand of my hair behind my ear.
“Thank y-”
“Alright Captain, all systems are a go!” Tony flys up in the air, now fully de-frosted. “Let me have a piece of her!”
My heart drops.
“You can’t have all the fun” Nick says from the floor.
I see Hawkeye run towards a wall and smash his head against it, breaking the ice. “You’ll have to get in line.” He growls deadly.
All the other heroes were slowly getting up, clearly prepared to go another round.
I begin hyperventilating.
I break out of Steve’s grip (I’ll kill myself for doing that later) and run to the archway. I look back as all the heroes got up and took form.
Susan uses her force field and knocks Reeds arms away, Ben was slowly gaining consciousness and Tony was telling Peter and Ava to hold Cap down, thinking he was brainwashed as well.
I feel someone’s breath on my neck, I look, “Wolverine? Where have you been!?” I said shocked.
He growls down at me and bares his claws, gulp!
“Good day! Dear friends, sorry for my late arrival. Father kept me at the palace longer than expected, delaying me greatly.”
Thor walks in, and my intestines melted.
Thor…
“What is this? An intruder?” his face changes and I feel the hair on my head stand up. He begins swinging hammer over his head.
Not only was I tapped about but the heroes were even getting reinforcements!?
“I GIVE UP!” I yelled over everything.
They all charged at me. And I just knew I was doomed, dead, done for. I should’ve just listened to Reed.
“Enough.” The low cool calculating voice said.
Everybody froze.
We look to find Reed, arms folded as he looks at me with deadly cold eyes.
“I think you’ve learned your lesson” he says quietly. He was a whole room away but I still heard him, every word.
“Aw man! Shows over?” Johnny whined.
“What the heck is going on?” Tony demanded.
I breathe heavily. I was covered in bruises, food dripping from my hair and about probably a thousand internal wounds. And this mad scientist was teaching me a lesson.
I hear giggling.
Johnny and Fifi. They were both curled up on the arm and looking at me with evil joy glinting in their eyes. Looking at me like I was a dumb little schoolgirl.
I freeze both of them in giant chunks of perfectly square ice.
Silence.
“I’ll be in my room.”
I stomped away, and bang my door shut. I was so overwhelmed with emotions that the door began to freeze over. Everywhere I stepped in my room I left a coat of ice.
This was way freaky, like the FROZEN Movie come to life, but a thousand times scarier. I didn’t lie on my bed for fear of freezing it and falling off. So I go to the wall opposite my bed, I curl up on the floor, and cry ice. Painful, stinging, ice. My floor freezing around me…
****************************************************************************************************
Okay, you’d have to be super major hard core if you don’t feel sad right now.
I know I do, I think imma gonna cry. :c
I made this chapter extra-long cause I might not update in a while-might not!-so don’t kill me.
Comment on what you think and I’d also liked to know if I wrote the fight scenes well, or if it was alittle bit too confusing.
P.S Can anyone guess who the shaggy haired guy was in the last chapter? Plus if a couple of you guys don’t agree with my Avengers team I’m modeling it after the cartoon show “The Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes”
P.P.S Don’t you think it’s alittle weird that both Johnny and Captain America were acted by the same guy? Gave me the willies when I was typing and released it.
Anyway, see ya!
And may we all pray and weep for Vick.
~It’s Ya (Sad) Gal Vicky…
