Chapter 096
'Clint's probably going to try to get Loki out of his cell but the other agents will try their best to damage the engines and make the Helicarrier fall to the ground.'
Alex thought of the Avengers storyline as he moved forward to the bridge area of the Helicarrier.
He wore the earpiece that Fury had given him before and spoke into it while running.
"Hello, this is Alex. Code name–"
-Kid, are you okay?
As he was speaking, Tony's voice suddenly came out. He quickly replied.
"Mr. Stark, I'm fine. One of the engines was knocked out. We need to fix it and Agent Barton is leading a lot of rogue agents!"
Another voice came out as he spoke.
It was Steve.
-Tony and I are heading towards the engine room. Can you handle the attackers?
"Yeah sure!"
After saying that, Alex turned around a corner and suddenly came face to face with six men who were all armed.
They looked at him for a moment, uneasiness in their eyes. But it was only for a moment. Alex wondered if they were part of the rogue group.
It was hard to tell them apart after all because of the Shield equipment but he soon got his answer.
They snapped their guns towards him and aimed. Immediately, his wolf leaped out from his body and attacked the two men who were at the front.
The others looked horrified to see his wolf, something that Alex was used to. One of the men fired at Alex and he easily dodged the bullet and tackled the man, punching him straight in the ribs.
A cracking sound came out as the man lost his senses.
"How do you even see with those eyes?" He joked half heartedly at the three guys who were staring at him.
They quickly raised their guns to fire but Alex was quicker.
He leaped forward and kicked one of the men in a lightning-fast move. The man flew back and slammed into the door behind him. His eyes rolled up and closed as he passed out.
Without stopping, he punched the second man in his face and his wolf dived into the third, finishing him off.
'That was easy.'
Alex thought and at that moment, Fury's voice came out from the earpiece.
-Alex! Where are you?! We need some help here at the bridge!
"Coming!"
He replied and ran towards the bridge area.
The fight was just starting.
***
On the bridge, Fury and Maria Hill were in an intense battle with the rogue group of agents. Scientists around them were furiously trying to take back control of their systems while hiding behind cover to avoid the rain of bullets being unleashed by the rogue agents.
Just a few minutes ago, Clint had hacked the system, adding to their ongoing troubles.
"Director Fury, we won't be able to hold on for long."
Maria Hill said, firing a bullet towards an agent which hit his arm, then crouching.
"Help should be near."
"Okay."
Maria said and a painful groan suddenly came out next to her. She turned her head to see one of the scientists falling to the floor after getting shot.
'He was a new recruit…'
She thought in her mind and reloaded her gun.
If help didn't come fast, the rogue agents would storm in and then, they won't be able to do anything.
As she fired another round of bullets, a shout again came out. She expected it to be another scientist but to her surprise, the shout had come from outside.
From the area that the rogue agents were occupying to take cover and firing through small gaps and openings.
'What's going on?'
As she thought that, more screams rang out, each one more painful and horrified than the last. The roar of some kind of animal also came out, scaring many people on the bridge.
But Fury just silently muttered with a smile.
"He's here."
***
"That took a long time."
Alex muttered as the final rogue agent crashed into a wall. In front of him, many agents were lying unconscious.
Although there were a lot of them, all of them were just trained individuals with no superpowers. It was easy to handle them with his wolf.
'Now that it's done, I think it will be fine.'
Thinking that, he stepped inside the bridge. He could see Maria Hill and Fury breathing a sigh of relief seeing him. The scientists on the bride cheered and hugged each other while some mourned for their colleagues who had died.
"Alex, head towards the cell. Natasha is intercepting Barton but Loki might have other plans." Fury said as he looked at him. "We've got a lot to handle here."
"Okay."
Alex nodded and quickly headed towards the cell.
***
As all of this was going on, Thor, who was aware of Loki's tactics, was already running towards the detention area.
A bad feeling that Loki was going to use this chance to get out of the cell was spreading through his body. And when he reached the cell, that thought changed into reality.
He saw Loki walking out of the cell and he quickly shouted.
"No!"
He shouted and leaped at Loki but he just passed through him and landed right in the cell. The door closed at that moment as Thor looked in bafflement.
"Will you ever not fall for that?"
Loki appeared outside the cell and smirked. Thor grunted, cursing inwardly as his eyes stayed fixed on his brother.
"The humans think we are immortal. Should we test that?"
He said, coming in front of the control system. Just one button and the cell will fall right out from the ship.
But just as he was about to start his prank, a shout distracted him.
"Move away, please."
Coulson suddenly appeared through the door. Loki looked at the big gun in his hand and Coulson smiled.
"You like this? We started working on the prototype after you sent the Destroyer. I don't even know what it does. Do you want to find out?"
Coulson asked as he prepared to shoot at Loki but just then, a sharp knife appeared out of nowhere and dug into his chest. He dropped the gun as Thor yelled.
"No!!"
