Once upon a time, there was...
We charge forward in the darkness, around the base to look for a safe spot to stop or to get away from these beasts long enough to kill them. I look up when I see a light flying by. Tony is out in his suit, probably looking for Thor and Jane.
I hear the terrifying demons all around me, making snarling sounds and shrieks as I run with my heart rate five times normal, my hands shaking from fear as I clutch my weapon, trying to get light on our path.
But that's when I trip over a stone and my palms hit the ground as I let out a grunt. I turn around as the sound gets louder and I can see two pursuing us, getting ready to land on us. I fumble for my gun just as the first one leaps and Loki freezes it with a blast of ice before it can reach me. And I bring up my gun to my face as I fire at the one behind it, the bullets getting lost in the mess of light and silver tentacle that is this creature, its held open mouth terrifying me before it lands on the ground crippled from the gunfire. Loki jabs his knife into the things head to kill it then runs to me, grabbing my arm to help me up and I run with him to behind the building to hide.
I take a few deep breaths, holding my hand to my chest to try and slow down my heart beat. I look at Loki and I point back to where the weird creatures are, while whispering loudly, "What. In. The. Actual. Hell. Are. Those. Things?!"
He is breathing and cleaning the onyx blood from his dagger. "I don't know. And I don't think anyone else here will either... but they're going to destroy us. Thor is probably already dead," he keeps his eyes on the ground.
I look at him sympathetically. "You don't know that."
He shakes his head. "It's dangerous and I can't let you stay out here," he looks around frantically and then hears another leap down near us. He takes my shoulders. "You have to get back, now," he says with eyes that show haste.
I give a breathy laugh. "When are you going to get it through your head that I'm not leaving you again."
"Darling, that's flattering but this is life and death--" he says with a lifted brow but that's when more monsters appear above us on the roof and he throws out a protective arm around me and pulls be back.
They begin to leap down on us and he flings a wall of ice up against them to slow them down as he takes my hand and runs to a safe distance, backing up and readying himself as numbers of the glowing creatures scatter around ahead of us. He pulls out his blades and thrusts them out to kill a couple as I lift my weapon, my face showing fear.

But I aim, breathing hard, as the things shuffle about the ground and leap towards us. I fire best I can, the pressure of the weapon hitting against my shoulder as I try to let my bullets find their flesh in the dark of flashing lights. But they are quick and I'm shaking too much. Loki is throwing his knives and shooting up spikes of ice to impale the ones that I try to get with my weapon. My body is tired and everything hurts. I can hardly hold my gun. I am dehydrated and lacking majorly in sleep. I don't know if I can last. But I won't leave him. I won't.
