Work This Out

Chapter 20 ~ Language!

The scepter is located in a HYDRA base somewhere in Eastern Europe called Sokovia. We arrived some time ago, Natasha and Clint stole one of their trucks, Dad on his motorcycle, Tony in his Iron Man suit flying around shooting people, Thor hitting people with his hammer, Hulk smashing stuff, and me running as fast as I could while taking down agents.

All is silent as we are all concentrating on taking down the HYDRA base. I run as fast as I can, taking down agents as I pass them. I run past Dad on his motorcycle.

"Keep up old man." I look back at him as I pass by. Since I wasn't paying attention, the side of my face crashes into a tree.

I hear him snicker in my earpiece. "I'm not the one who needs to keep up." He passes me on his motorcycle. "Maybe you should pay more attention next time." He says as I hear him snicker again.

I shake my head and smile. I start running again, taking down the agents like it was nothing because it really wasn't.

"Shit!" Tony yells into our earpieces.

I look up to see the base has a forcefield around it so we can't get inside.

"Language!" Dad yells back.

"English!" I answer.

I hear Dad sigh. "JARVIS what's the view from upstairs?"

I continue running and taking agents out, knocking them unconscious or breaking their legs which knocks them down.

"The central building is protected by some kind of energy shield. Strucker's technology is well beyond any other HYDRA base we've taken." JARVIS answers.

"Well Stark, can you do anything about it?" I ask.

"Who do you think I am?" He scoffs.

"A guy with a bigger ego than anyone I've ever met combined," I answer, which earns a few snickers from the team.

"You know you love me," Tony says, making me roll my eyes.

"Loki's scepter must be here. Strucker couldn't mount this defense without it. At long last." Thor says.

"Of course it's here. I'm the one who found it." I scoff.

"Cocky much," Roy says into the earpiece, making me smirk.

"Oh I just can't wait to—" I start to say.

"Be king?" Clint cuts me off.

"No! To get my hands on Strucker."

"(Y/n), you know your job, I'll handle Strucker," Dad tells me.

"At long last is lasting a little long, boys," Nat responds to Thor's earlier statement and I hear gunshots coming from her end.

"Yeah. I think we lost the element of surprise." Clint says.

"Wait a second. No one else is going to deal with the fact that Cap just said 'language'?" Tony asks.

"I know," Dad says as I run beside him. He throws his motorcycle at the agents in front of us driving in a truck. "It just slipped out." He pants as I stop running to stand beside him.

"Sure it did," I say to him.

"It's probably because he's used to correcting you on your language all the time," Roy says to me.

Dad smirks at me and I roll my eyes. "Who's side are you on, Roy?"

More agents come up to us, trying to surround us. I look at Dad and smirk. I ready my repulsors, aiming it at him, and he readies his shield. I send a beam to his shield which reflects and hits the agents surrounding us.
