This Works Too

Steve isn’t sure what made all the town’s resident baddies decide to attack at once but he’s glad they have the Fantastic Four helping them push off hordes of Doombots and the strange, green sea creatures that Clint blames on Namor. Tony and Johnny are both high in the air, shooting fire and trading jokes – a teenager and an adult who acts like one. Natasha and Susan Storm seemed to have hit it off, the latter offering force field covers to the assassin as she charges through the mess. Sam’s carrying Bucky, dropping the Winter Soldier into the mix and scooping him back up whenever he’s needed somewhere else. And Reed – well it’s best to just let Reed do his thing, sometimes. The fight is thick with technology that even Tony is awed at, strange rays and beams that the Avengers are just trying to avoid.

And then one hits Steve and he falls to the ground with a scream.
