Avengers Fanfiction Sneak Peek

Approximately a month ago, I went to go watch the Avengers for the first time. I was very impressed, and rather thrilled and inspired. In the next week or so, the rest of my friends watched it. We went from being a writer's club to being a group of excitable teenagers fangirling over superheros. And, as girls do, we ended up picking and choosing our own Avenger. 

This gave me inspiration when I was bored one afternoon. I decided to write little scenes, one of us with our Avenger. This grew into a full-blown novel-length fanfiction, written in it's entirety in a month. 

I finally finished the last chapter yesterday, and I thought I would share a little bit of it with you. I'll just say it's in the middle. Enjoy, and let me know what you think. It's still very very rough. 

Chapter 38- Scattered

The Avengers hurried towards the tower, trying to reach Loki and stop the invasion of Shadows. As they got closer, they could see just how many Shadows were flying everywhere. 

"There's so many!" Hannah said. "How do we beat them?" 

One of the Shadows swooped down on Agent Romanoff, and she pulled out her gun, shooting at it. It did no good until it touched her, at which point she was able to shoot it. It dropped to the ground, still. 

"You can't touch them in their shadow form," she said, looking it over. "But it looks like, to be able to attack us, it has to take a physical form. And then we can hit them." 

"Look!" Assistant Director Carlson said, pointing upward. "Loki's up on top of that tower!" 

"Alright then," Captain America said. "That's where we go. Stick close to your partners." 

They took off, each partnership running off towards Loki and the tower. 

Director Fury and Assistant Director Carlson weren't long in the fight before swarms of Shadows overtook them. They fought together, in a rhythm that betrayed the longevity of their partnership more than anything else. 

"Sir!" Rebecca called, shooting a Shadow's head off. "The Shadows are delaying us. The longer it takes for us to reach the tower, the more defensible Loki can make it. We can't siege a tower."

"I'm well aware of that, Rebecca," Director Fury said. "If you have any ideas for getting us there quicker, I'll gladly hear them." 

"We need to get around them," Rebecca said. "If I can draw them off, lead them away, you can get to the tower quicker." 

"I don't think so," Fury said. "I'm not letting you do that. There's no guarantee it would work." 

"Nick," Rebecca said, making eye contact with the Director. "You don't have a choice. We can't spare any more time. I can draw them away from you. I'm the bigger threat. That gives you time to get to Loki and stop him." 

Director Fury sighed and nodded. "What am I going to tell your husband after this is over?" 

Rebecca gave Fury a wry smile. "That we won." She ran off in the opposite direction, drawing Shadows to her like flies to honey. Director Fury turned and began working his way towards the tower. 

Amber and Captain America fought side by side. For some reason, Amber's ice powers had the ability to hurt the Shadows while they weren't in physical form. She froze them easily, and Captain America helped her with any that got past. 

"Amber," he said, dodging a flying Shadow. "We need to get to that tower." 

"I know," she said. "But there happen to be these Shadows in the way." 

"We don't have time to fight through all of them," Steve said. He looked at her. "Do you think you could use your ice to knock them out of the way for a moment? Enough time for us to gain some headway?" 

Amber eyed the distance between them and the tower. "It would take a lot of ice. And I don't think we could do it in one run. But I can try." She focused for a moment, and sprayed two walls of ice, one on either side of them, leading towards the tower. 

"Run!" Steve said, taking her hand. Together they ran towards the tower. After a while, the Shadows got over the walls, and they were back to fighting again. 

Thor and Ashley were a sight to see. They whirled, attacked, and blocked Shadows with relative ease. There were at least two Ashley’s at any given moment. While the illusions couldn't hurt physical people, they were able to hurt the Shadows. 

"Thor!" Ashley called. "I think I can see Loki!" she peered into the sky, were Loki appeared to be carried by two Shadows. 

"We need to reach him," Thor said, looking with her. 

"How are we going to do that?" Ashley asked. "It's not like we can just knock him out of the air."

Thor looked at her. 

"Right," Ashley said. "We can just knock him out of the air." 

"Well, not here," Thor said. "It's too far away. I need to be closer." 

"Then let's work on that, shall we?" Ashley asked, entering once more into the fray, beginning to carve a path towards Loki. 

Talyn, Hannah, Iron Man, and Hulk had banded together, and were fighting their way towards the tower. Despite their powers, and Hannah's and Talyn's ability to get the Shadows while in shadow form, they were beginning to feel overwhelmed by sheer numbers. It seemed like the Shadows never stopped coming. No sooner would they cut one down, then another would take its place. 

"We're not making any forward motion here," Tony said, blasting a Shadow away from him. 

"We need to reach that tower," Hannah said. 

"Maybe not," Talyn said, pointing upwards. "Look who came out." 

Iron Man looked up and saw Loki in the sky. "Well, I'll go-"

"Tony, wait," Hannah said, holding up her hand. "I have a better idea." 

"What?" he asked her. 

"Why don't we bring him down here so we can all fight him? We'd have a better chance of winning then," Hannah said. 

"Ladies first," Tony said, backing off. Hannah closed her eyes for a moment, and her hair began to whip around her face as she summoned a windstorm. 

Carina and Hawkeye were almost to the base of the tower when the wind began to blow. They looked up, and saw Loki fall from the sky in the wind, as though the very air itself had grabbed him and thrown him down. 

"Loki's down," Carina said to herself. 

"Looks like Hannah got him," Hawkeye said. 

"Yeah," Carina said, "But where's Alena?" 

They both turned back towards the tower as an unearthly screech rang out. 

Alena screamed as she looked out the window and saw Loki fall. She stood up without thinking. She had to reach him. She had to find Loki. They weren't going to take him from her again. She wouldn't let them. 

She opened the door and began to run down the steps, trying to reach Loki before the Avengers did. 

Well, there you go! I hope you enjoyed that. If you want to read more, just let me know.
