It was a normal day in New York. The sun was shining, people were going about their business. Everything was fine until a blue beam shot into the sky from Stark Tower, which moments later opened a large hole in the sky, through which people could see the blackness of space.
Within a few minutes, unknown creatures began to pass through this hole. No one was prepared for this, neither the citizens of New York, nor the army of the nearby military bases, nor the group of people whom the tower's owner himself named "Avengers".
The first person to decide to go and "greet" the guests on earth was none other than Iron Man. The guests did not expect to be greeted so quickly, so the first salvo of small technological missiles hit the first wave of targets. After such a greeting, many aliens decided to respond, and a large group went after the man in the red and gold state-of-the-art suit.
While the chase began in the sky, panic began on the ground. Many people who saw what began in the sky began to take cover and hide. But no matter how scary it was, many began to film what was happening and send it to the Internet.
Panic was increasingly taking over the city. While Iron Man was fighting in the sky, and local police units were attracting more attention from the aliens, two serious points began to appear on the streets, where the aliens were being destroyed.
There were three people at the first point. The brightest one was in a blue suit and had a shield with a star on his chest, the other two were less eye-catching: a girl with bright red hair and a man with a bow. Together, as a squad, they took up a position and held it, making sorties to help civilians.
At the second point there was a man in a light black jacket with a hood up and jeans. The strangest thing was that there were many dead aliens around him, and they all had large ice blocks stuck in different parts of their bodies. Many people looked at him with fear, but still followed his instructions.
Only after finishing the destruction of the squad near a small restaurant on the street, the young man began to move to another point. Large blocks of ice that had previously stuck out from the bodies of the invaders began to melt rapidly, and water from them began to flow behind the young man and collect into a large ball. During the next confrontation, with the help of gestures, streams of water began to fly out of the ball, freezing along the way and piercing their targets.
The longer the battle went on, the more people joined both sides.
A large number of flying chariots and an iron flying beast resembling a whale on one side.
On the other hand, there is a blond man with a red cloak and a hammer in his hands, as well as a large green man acting like a berserker.
With such reinforcements, the battle became more fierce.
The first of the local defense forces to arrive were dozens of fighters. The first salvo of missiles destroyed many targets, the second salvo destroyed a large alien "whale". With fewer enemy targets in the sky, the battle on the ground became a little easier.
A young man used the power of water to lift a car that had trapped a young couple. Without thinking twice, he misused the vehicle, launching it at alien foot soldiers who were trying to get to him.
Having built a wall of ice out of the water, he reliably blocked the passage behind which many people were hiding.
His actions did not go unnoticed by those desperately trying to defend the city from the invading army.
During a brief lull in the battle, people hiding in various corners noticed Tony Stark fly up to a young man and start a conversation with him. The young man pointed to the crowd of people hiding around him. Iron Man looked around, handed him something, and wasted no time in rushing back into the fight.
The battle for the city had been going on for over an hour, and more and more defenders were starting to arrive. Helicopters and infantry in lightly armored transport had arrived.
Many air forces were quickly destroyed, and infantry could not reach the battle zone for a long time due to traffic jams in Manhattan.
Many saw Thor and Hulk destroying a large "whale" that was dropping troops. At that moment, the master of water sat next to the body of a dying young woman, with a child crying next to her. Using his abilities, he healed the mother. The young woman saw how right before her eyes he used water to restore the wound from the alien weapon. Even hugging her child and sitting with other people, she did not believe everything that was happening to her.
When the National Guard arrived and began to protect the people, he was about to go to the site of a big battle, but such a number of troops attracted the attention of one of the whales that were not destroyed by the troops.
Seeing him approaching, many began to panic. At this time, few noticed how the water surrounding the hooded guy began to gather in one place. He also began to collect water from nearby sources that he could quickly reach. After waiting for the monster to open its mouth, all this water was directed at the alien giant. A large block of ice passed through the entire monster. Tons of frozen water stopped the monster's advance.
Everyone saw how the monster began to hang on a large layer of ice, pierced by many ice fragments. After looking around and making sure that everything was okay, the hero went to another place where there were more aliens...
"""
Steve Rogers never thought he'd find himself in this situation: fighting alongside a god against aliens. If he'd told anyone this story from his time, no one would have believed it. But it was all true.
Their entire squad was scattered. Stark was in the sky, Hulk was smashing somewhere, Clint was on the roof, Natasha went to look for a way to close the portal. Now it was just her and Thor fighting on the street.
He no longer knew how long they fought. But no matter how many they killed, new ones came to take their place. The army, of course, took some of the aliens on itself, but there were still many of them.
Stark said that there was also resistance in several blocks...
"Rogers, you have backup coming," Stark's voice echoed in his ear.
"The army came from the other side?"
"No, it's one person."
"And how does that help us?" Captain America replied, catching the shield he threw at the alien.
"If my eyesight doesn't fail me, it's big. At least he knows how to work with water."
"This is no time for jokes, Stark," Captain America replied, catching the shield he threw at the alien.
He didn't hear the answer, but he saw perfectly how Iron Man dealt with several chariots.
After joining Thor in battle, he saw a large wave of water moving in his direction within a couple of minutes.
Not having much time to find cover, he covered Thor with his shield and waited for the water to wash them away.
Imagine his surprise when the water passed them by and washed away several dozen aliens who were standing along the road.
"Roast them!"
"Thor, lightning!" - instantly understanding the plan, he transmitted the order to his companion.
Thor, without hesitation, used his hammer to summon lightning and send it through the washed enemies.
"Hahahaha!" The thunder god's loud laughter could be heard. "This is teamwork."
Turning around, the newly-minted avengers saw a man in a hood and glasses that did not allow them to see his facial features.
"It looks like you're the backup Stark was talking about."
"With our forces, we'll quickly dispose of them," Thor was more encouraged by the small tactical victory.
"Yes, I hope you have a plan?" The young water lord kept himself hidden behind the cars to avoid being an additional target.
"Yes, we have a plan, but we need to hold the perimeter."
"Okay, I'll take care of those above us," he showed by sending several ice arrows at the enemies on the walls.
Simply nodding to him, they all continued their battle, covering each other.
Steve was amazed by the abilities of the guy who was next to them. The ability to control water was something he could not understand. There were thoughts that maybe he was the same as Thor.
The three of them were able to hold the line more easily. The next moment of calm, he was already in shock when this guy healed several wounds before his eyes using his abilities.
"How did you do that?"
"Is there really time to discuss this now?" the gaze behind the glasses pierced Steve.
"Boy, Seidr and healer, if you were in Asgard, legends would already be made about you," Thor, who had recovered from his wound, was also in shock and, inspired, began to destroy enemies with renewed vigor.
Having recovered from his wounds, Steve did not continue to fight for long before things quickly began to spin.
Natasha was ready to close the portal, but Tony informed her of a nuclear missile heading their way and he had a plan.
Launching a nuclear missile into the portal, then all the aliens seemed to switch off and cease to pose a threat. Flying out of it at the last moment, Stark watched as he fell, but the Hulk caught him.
And now, an unknown guy was leaning over the non-breathing Stark lying on the ground, who, with the help of his abilities, restored his breathing.
"Bhau, bhau... God, what was that?" Stark showed signs of life, spitting out some water. "What did you do to me?"
"You were saved, Stark, it's over," the fatigue from the battle was taking its toll on Steve.
"Okay, it's okay, I guess we deserve a day off, and a day off and something to eat. Does anyone know what shawarma is? I've heard something about it."
Even though Stark was talking more nonsense, it helped distract me from everything that had happened for a second.
"Not everyone is finished yet," Thor's serious voice reminded almost everyone of unfinished business.
"Yeah, the day off can wait," Stark said, standing up carefully.
Steve was about to leave when he noticed that their new comrade was not going with them.
He slowly walked up to the guy and offered his hand.
"Thank you very much for what you did. We are now in your debt forever."
"It's okay, I did it because I knew that if I didn't, it could be much worse," - taking off his hood and glasses, Steve saw a young guy of about twenty-five years old with black hair and blue eyes.
"Whatever your reasons, you still helped many. And this will not be forgotten. What is your name?"
"Call me Alex."
"My name is Steve," they shook hands.
The young man already wanted to leave their company, and Steve wanted to keep him with them, but he didn't know how.
"Okay, stop, stop, stop. Where are you going?" - fortunately, Tony came to his aid. "You're coming with us, I'll show you my tower, see it over there," - his hand pointed to the Stark Tower, which was not in the best condition.
"We've just won a victory that no one has ever won before, and we need to celebrate. I won't hold you back, you're free as a bird, but only after the victory party..." he continued speaking, gently pushing Alex along with him.
Never before had Steve been so pleased with Tony's talkativeness.
