Chapter 10 First True Fight.

(General P.O.V)

Tony Stark was a genius. That was a well known consensus. Being a genius enabled him to lead a lifestyle very different from a normal person. His mind gave him the necessary tools to stand shoulder to shoulder with gods, monsters and spies. In other words, he had seen a lot.

This...was near the top of the crazy shit he'd witnessed.

It first begun with Jarvis informing him of the fast moving object headed towards where the Hulk was fighting the Blood Brothers, notorious alien mercenaries that as a pair were more than a match for Hulk's strength.

"Cap, Falcon heads up, we've got incoming!"

Iron Man's statement came in a bit too late as Captain America threw his shield, hitting Falcon on the side to throw him away from the object's path.

Falcon pushed off from the impact of the shield, reorienting his flight by using the thrusters under his jetpack to push towards the sky. The shield bounced off a fire hydrant before rushing back to Captain America's hand.

Barely a second later, a teenage boy landed on the already smashed street, causing cracks to run up the tarmac.

"Sir, I sense a great build up of unknown energy within him."

A new screen appeared on Iron Man's interface. One filled with a diagram of the boy's form showing red waves of energy wafting off him.

"Everybody take cover!"

Iron man yelled through the comms, flying higher to escape the range of the burst of pressure that propelled the Hulk and the Blood Brothers through the flower shop and onto another building an entire street over.

"Widow, tell me there were no civilians in that building."

Cap called out as he got to his feet. He'd used his vibranium shield to endure the stray shockwaves.

"Affirmative. Hawkeye and I had the cops create a cordon around the area. It was evacuated minutes before the Hulk and his buddies decided to see who could punch harder."

The spy said, her hover car doing a round above where the Hulk and the pair of brothers had landed.

"Wow, I never thought Thor could hit that hard."

Hawkeye said, swinging off a roof to land next to said god on the shattered pavement.

"It was not me, Archer." Thor corrected, pointing his hammer towards the dust cloud in the middle of the road. The dust and smoke settled, revealing a tornado of debris rotating around the boy.

"That boy did it. I see Midgard is still producing fine warriors!"

Thor complimented.

With a roar from his thrusters, IronMan landed on the street before the other Avengers.

The boy turned to stare at them, eyes glowing with a blue color. A frown was imprinted on his face.

"Okay Kid. Calm Down."

The armored Tony said, holding his hands up.

"Jarvis, run a facial recognition."

He added quietly.

The AI got right down on the job.

"Avengers?"

The teen muttered in surprise, his earlier anger seeming to cool down.

"Good."

Tony sighed to Jarvis.

"I don't know how we could have handled another angry teenager."

He was referring to Molecule Kid, the son of Molecule Man who had been using his father's powerful technology to reshape matter. The kid had gone into a rampage and almost destroyed New York, a week earlier.

Then a roar sounded out, cutting off Tony's thought.

Oh shit. He knew what that roar meant. Someone green was angry.

The source was the hole on the side of the apartment complex the Hulk and the Blood Brothers had crashed through.

The bellow of rage was followed by a devasting punch that launched one of the brothers out into the sky, a powerful shockwave following along, pushing everything away.

Tony watched as the expression on the boy changed as he glared at the red skinned alien sent flying by the Hulk. The anger came back and he was off, cutting through the air like a torpedo.

(Billy's P.O.V)

All I remember is seeing the one responsible for bursting apart my apartment. My anger came surging out and with it was my Psionic energy roared in defiance.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

I blasted off towards the sky, clearing the distance between the alien and I with a devastating punch that caused the debris around me to slam onto him like bullets from a machine gun.

The force pushed him further away. The alien's body smashed the side of a skyscraper with it's shoulders, chipping a chunk of metal, glass and concrete off, before falling towards the highway.

Oh no! There were cars on the road and the end of a yellow tape cordoning off the zone behind us. The Avengers must have had it put up to keep the fight contained within the few blocks.

I urged my flight speed to increase. A trail of rainbow light trailed after me as I swooped down, grabbing onto the Alien's ankle before he could land on top of a minivan. There were shouts and yells as people ducked down in fright.

I grunted at the Alien's weight. I was reaching the limit of what I could carry with my TK. And he wasn't helping as he thrashed around.

Despite my anger I knew we couldn't afford a fight near so many people. So I spun and threw him away, aiming for the cordoned off area we had initially come from.

I flew after him, ignoring the blood dripping from my nose while pushing his body with telekinesis, one hand held before me. We tore through a billboard showing the wanted image of Spiderman.

The daily bugle had put up an a cash prize for Spiderman's pictures. 1000 dollars. Huh, maybe I should collect it.

I came rushing in with a knee on it's chest, digging it deeper onto the brick courtyard of a park. A fountain was in the middle to our left. I felt half a dozen scared minds ran away as people escaped the scene.

"The apartment was all I had, you fucking bastard!"

I screamed myself hoarse, pouring most of my psionic energy into my hands. My fists lit up in a blue glow as I landed punches on the Alien's tough face.

My knuckles hurt but I was relentless, throwing blows that were strong enough to crack the ground and make it tremble.

Despite that, it's face had taken no apparent damage apart from him being a little dazed. I was still not strong enough.

"Brother!"

A yell sounded out and following it was a devastating backhand to my right cheek. The blow saw me thrown towards a fountain, blasting through a few trees before finally getting stopped by a wall.

I lay there, embedded in the structure while trying to catch my breath. No matter how hard I tried to breath, my chest still felt needy and hollow.

The only reason I survived that was my TK shield. Pressure begun building up in my temples.

There was a loud crash followed by a snarl. Through the passage I had created in the small forest, I saw the Hulk land onto the ground ontop of one of the aliens.

"HULK STRONGEST THERE IS!!"

The big guy roared, stomping a leg onto his opponent. The blow was so powerful I felt it despite the distance between us. Birds rose up to the air, flying away.

Wait, where is the other one?

A mind entered my range from the sky. I looked up and saw the form of the other alien bearing down at me with a punch pulled back and a manic smile on it's face.

I brought my hands forward in a guard while also pulling any loose material I could find to form a shield before me.

The punch landed and the entire building shook, but the wall held. The two benches and dumpster I had pulled off the ground to create my impromptu shield, shattered and bent respectively.

The alien stabbed it's fingers onto the side of the wall, preparing another punch.

"I will kill you brat! No one hurts my brother! R'Hos of the Blood Brothers will smash you to paste!"

The alien yelled, it's stinky breath buffeting my face.

I reinforced my personal shield, gritting my teeth.

"Get a breath mint you fucking idiot!"

I shot back, still peeved about my day getting ruined.

'This next hit will be tough. It will probably push us through the building and into a room. In such an enclosed space, I wouldn't be able to escape him since he seems to react faster than I can. I will also be limited in how I can use my flight. So, I can't let him corner me.' All this went through my mind in a split second. Was this an enhancement from Solomon's legacy?

In any case it was clear I had to retaliate faster than he could land his attack. So I pulled away power from my Psionic shield, leaving me unguarded. On the other hand, I would hit him hard enough to throw his body across the street. It was a risk I was willing to take.

Only for Thor's bloody Hammer to slam onto R'Hos, throwing him away to create a groove across the street. Mjolnir returned to the god's hand just as I extracted myself from the wall.

A headache instantly assaulted me. I descended to the ground slowly, landing on a knee while massaging my head. I guess I hadn't ever used my powers that much before.

"You okay Kid?"

A pair of red boots appeared in my vision. I looked up and saw a gloved hand. And belonging to that hand...was Captain America.

I grabbed his palm and got up, still surprised at seeing the very real Steve Rogers before me. I had grown up reading his comic books. He wasn't my favorite Avenger, that honor goes to Black Widow and yes, it's for 'those' reasons.

And on an unbiased opinion, Iron Man was the most important member of the Avengers but Captain America was the ideal the team lived by. He was the glue.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

I finally found my voice and replied.

Then cursed myself for getting distracted in a battlefield. My Psionic shield flickered on and off as I tried to access my psionic energy. It wasn't a problem of needing reserves but more of how much power I could handle.

Meanwhile the fight was still going on. A rocket slammed infront of one of the Blood Brother's feet. Unfortunately, the Hulk had jumped in at that precise moment and was blown back as well, smashing through a few cars.

"Sorry."

Iron Man winced, audible through Cap's ear piece.

"STAAARRRKK!"

The Hulk roared as he extracted himself from the wrecked car.

"Iron Man fall back for now. Thor let's move in to intercept the Blood Brothers. They seem to be focusing on the Hulk and that doesn't sit well with me."

Captain America rattled off orders as he wound up his hand and threw the shield onto one of the aliens that had managed to get behind the Hulk.

Thor flew to the sky and thunder rumbled high in the clouds.

The shield was intercepted by R'Hos before it could land on his brother, separating him from the Hulk. This close to my telepathic range and I could tell the two aliens apart.

Of course! It was like a bolt of lightning went through me. Telepathy seemed to be working! I didn't need to just fight by moving things with my mind! I could control minds too duh! Kinda.

Never really tried to influence someone's mind before. It always seemed like a steep and slippery slope. Still, there's a first time for everything.

I held out my hand and begun to focus. R'Hos' mind was different from a normal person's. It felt less compact. Not dumb exactly just a different way of prioritizing things.

In a way it was very simple to change the stimulus he was reserving from his sensory organs. Which is why instead of dodging the arrow from Hawkeye, I made him jump towards it.

The arrow smacked onto his chest and exploded throwing him to the ground. Yes! I fucking did it!

Strong arms grabbed my shoulders as I suddenly felt weak. My head started pounding ten times harder and I couldn't hear what Captain America was saying.

Inwardly I was happy. Happy that I'd had my revenge. Happy that I hadn't been useless. Happy that my practice had paid off.

Then everything changed when a green mist was exuded from a device on Hulk's back. The Falcon tried to fly around it, funneling it towards the sky but it was too late for us. I started hacking as I breathed it in.

Then I saw black.
