'The world needs hope'

“I was about to ask the same thing.” Pietro replied to Natasha, he wasn’t really keen on believing this whole mess was going down. It looked like a bad action movie directed by a talentless piece of bread. When the creature made of shadow attacked Thor Pietro was sure this had to be some kind of hallucination because there was no way this was happening for real. Pietro was about to run and get Thor out of the thing’s way, when he started to hear the buzzing noises coming from something behind his back. When he looked at the hornets flying towards him Pietro seriously couldn’t look more pissed off. “What the shit?!”

While Quicksilver and Black Widow took down some of the ninjas, there are still many others. The ones Quicksilver left to be attacked by the hornets were killed and turned to dust, but another group of 6 with heavier artilary started their attack on Black Widow using bigger swords, maces and axes. None of these ninjas operate or attack using modern weapons, only weapons found centuries ago. They deem Balck Widow a threat that should be contained without the use of their magic arsenal.

A cloud of hornets assemble on the form of a humanoid creature with two arms and stops their pursue of Quicksilver, instead the ‘Swarm’ stands in the middle of the fight looking around. Quicksilver has a small hornet attatched to his suit, the Swarm detects it and slowly it vanishes between the lightings and the darkness. All the hornets emerge from the one in Quicksilver and the ‘Swarm’ grabs him by the neck with one of its four arms. This creature is sentient, their target is Quicksilver and they are prepared to eliminate.

                    On the ground, fallen from the pain he just went trough with a single punch, Thor tried to look around and raised his hand calling his hammer back. “Whatever it is, it has strenght.” Thor told his fellow comrades, if he wasn’t able to witstand a blow from this thing it would surely end his fellow Avengers’ lives. Thor stood up prepared to finish off that creature in the name of the honor of his name. There was no way the fist son of Odin would be taken down by a creature made of darkness. Once again he called upon lightings, this time to make sure all his wrath was released. “If thy wants a fight, it’s time to make it a fair fight.”

She was about to say something to her teammates while dodging an ax by a mere inch, when her voice caught in her throat. The creature made of shadows was not solid, or as solid as darkness could look like. Natasha’s mind was trying to produce an explanation, but there wasn’t any. It was in this brief description that the edge of a sword managed to catch her on the thigh. Whatever material and modifications her suit had, Tania had made a big deal out of giving them all upgrades, helped her not lose the leg, instead she was just forced to her knees, there was blood and she was momentarily out of combat. She just needed a respite. She continued to roll and dodge the ninja’s attacks, she had to fight back or they were going to kill her. It was then than she saw a creature reaching for Pietro. “Pietro” she heard herself scream just as the creature got a hold of him. Even if she hadn’t been struck earlier there wouldn’t been much she could do. The ninjas were still all around her. 

As soon as he could turn around to see the Swarm of creatures that had just showed up behind him - or from him he wasn’t quite sure - he was already struggling to breath. One of the creatures’ many arms was pressuring his neck, he tried to grab said arm but the insects just escaped his reach or stung him, which wasn’t the most pleasuring sensation to say the least. His mind couldn’t think so fast without enough oxygen getting to him, he was not sure about what could he do in order to set himself free of this creature. Pietro kept trying to grab the creature with his arms, his wasn’t even touchign the ground at this point for the creature was holding him high. Probably it knew if he was in contact with any surface he could just run. Pietro couldn’t bring himself to take the creature’s arm of him, he wasn’t going to escape this. All he could think was this was such a pathetic way to go.

An explosion.

The arrow had expoloded, alongside the cilinder. The woman was now on top of Janet, she pushed her aside and coffed right before poitining her hand at the woman’s head. “If you move one inch I’ll blast your brains out.” Then Janet looked at Pietro, fainted at the hands of the Swarm. If he was dead she wouldn’t ever forgive herself. The woman put her hands on the air, Janet wasn’t really keen on letting her live except for the fact that she had saved her life not once but twice. Still, there’s was one thing she learned at this job was that she shouldn’t just go around trusting anyone. 

“I’m not the enemy.” The woman said right before aking off her mast, revealing an unfamiliar face. “The name is Kate Bishop, Ms. Van Dyne. I swear to god I’m here to help.” Just as she spoke, Janet noticed Pietro being dropped in the ground and the Swarm slowly vanishing with the hornets flying away and the Beast becoming just a fog of shadow. Kate seemed surprised that whatever she had done worked, Janet put her hand down still not sure if she could trust this woman. 

“What are those ninjas?” As Janet asked this the fog of shadow just entered Pietro’s body torugh his mouth and the speedster stood up in a really odd manner. “Quicksilver?” Janet ran closer to Pietro, Kate followed her. 

Didn’t take long for him to get to Central Park - super speed and all that shit - but he couldn’t really think of what to do in such darkness. He agreed with Natasha with nothing but a look, before the team stepped inside the Park and all hell broke loose. At least he was able to run from anything that someone was throwing at them, without a scratch. In the dark it was really hard not to hit some trees on his way, but he didn’t hit anything hard enough for him to faint so that was really a start. “This really isn’t getting–” Before he could actually finish his sentence Thor called upon his magic hammer and lightining helped him actually see. “Nevermind.”

                    Despite all the noise, he was still hearing the others trough the device on his ear so he heard Ms. Wasp react to something. “Is aid needed, Ms. Wasp?” His question was quickly answered by the appearance of a man made of shadows, somehow alike the dark elves Thor had seen in his youth but he doubted that was an elf. Mjionir came to his hand and he once again summoned lightining, this time aiming for the creature made of shadows.

“Are you guys for real?” she asked while trying to fight them all at once. She had taken a page out of Morse’s book and had a pair of batons with her. Tania had made some upgrades to her widow bites but these ninjas moved way to fast for her to lock on to them. It was as if she was hitting them with a pillow, they just wouldn’t go down. Out of the corner of her eye she could see the shadow figure going after Thor, and something that looked like wasps? hornets? making their way to Pietro. 

“I was about to ask the same thing.” Pietro replied to Natasha, he wasn’t really keen on believing this whole mess was going down. It looked like a bad action movie directed by a talentless piece of bread.

Janet Van Dyne was leading this squad to Central Park, where Tania and other brainiacs had pinpointed some electromagnetic anomalies. This blackout wasn’t just some power surge, it was something much more important. While they weren’t telling the newspapers, neither was SHIELD, everyone who dealt with the real things on this world knew about this. No normal thing ever happened in New York these days.

While the Wasp arrived there by flight, just like Thor, Quicksilver and Black Widow went there by feet. By really fast feet.

The place was cold, but not only cold because of the night, it was somethign else entirely. Ms Van Dyne felt chills in her spine as she grew back to her normal size. She looked over her sholder to Thor, the tall blond guy was a nice shield in worse case scenario. “Do you want to go in first, big guy?” Janet asked, then turned on her headset. 

                   The Avengers suspected such darkness was being caused by some sort of evil, Thor had not much say on it. During his time in Midgard he learned that all kinds of weird things usually happened concerning their tech, so this might as well be another one. Yet there he was, flying to the place called Central Park. He had nice mornings in there, Jane told him this placer was great for relaxation.

                     “Sure, Ms. Wasp.” He replied to Wasp as he stepped withint the Park and then it all went down. Thor held Mjionir closer and used it to hit whatever projectiles were being threw at them. One of such projectiles nearly hit his face, but he managed to escape with only a scratch. Thor decided it would be better for the whole team if they had some sort of light to guide them so he raised Mjionir and called up the thunder. The skies light up with lightings, which helped with the illumination of the place.

“This really is something” she said more to herself but flashed a smile towards Pietro, as she trailed behind Jan and Thor, Natasha checked that her gadgets were working and ready to go. Everything was pitch black, and every part of her sensed danger. 

It wasn’t long before they were attacked. Natasha heard Jan’s command and something inside her stirred, she was becoming soft for this team, but she had no time to dwell on those feelings. She tried her best to be hit but the darkness made it impossible, until Thor lit up the sky. Once she was able to see the attackers it was go time. She smirked at them before attacking.
