Face to Face with Ultron and More Trouble(Avengers/Doctor Strange fanfic)

Fighting RedSkull/Loki's Proposition

Early the next morning, I heard a commotion outside of my window. I got up, brushed my teeth, suited and geared up. Then, I ran to the balcony to see what was going on. There was RedSkull. I ran back inside and called out, "Everyone get up, suit up, and gear up! RedSkull is on the loose!" Once everyone got up and everything, we ran outside to face RedSkull. I looked at Cap and everyone, we nodded and waited for RedSkull to make the first move. RedSkull stopped terrorizing citizens and looked at us. As he walked toward us, we armed ourselves. I heard the Guardians arrive and Quill say, "Sorry we're late to the party." I chuckled and assured him, "Y'all are on time. Loki and some Asgardians are still here...to help." He nodded and I looked at RedSkull, he was one inch away from my face. "Get back, you red idiot." I told him. He stepped back and gave a sinister smile. He pulled out a large gun and I made a force field around us against him. We ducked down as he shot. All of a sudden, Hulk appeared and grabbed RedSkull's gun, crushing it. Little did any of us know, that gun was repaired easily by him. He shot Hulk, making him transform back to Bruce. I disengaged the force field and tended to Bruce while the others attacked RedSkull. I made a small portal to the living room and grabbed a blanket. After grabbing the blanket and closing the portal, I covered Bruce with it. "Are you alright, buddy?" I asked him. He nodded and I helped him up and called for Nick, who rushed to where we were and he rushed Bruce to the medical ward. I ran back, pistol in hand, and shot RedSkull. He attacked back by striking me in the back of the head with the end of his gun. I stayed conscious and Cap knocked him unconscious with his shield. I looked at him and asked, "Should we take him back down to the isolation cell?" Cap shook his head and said, "He'll only escape again." Loki spoke up and said, "We will take him back to Asgard and lock him up there." We all turned toward him and Thor said, "Alright. Just be careful, brother." Loki nodded and the Asgardians tied RedSkull up, then they and Loki left.

We all stood in shock for a while, but shrugged and helped the citizens. Once the emergency vehicles arrived, we made sure everyone was alright, then we went back. Once we were back, I asked Thor, "How will you make sure Loki keeps his proposition?" "Simply communicating with him." He replied. I shrugged and said, "Okay." I felt something running down the back of my head and neck. I cautiously reached back and when I pulled my hand back, I just stood there. "Cate? You alright?" Thor asked. I looked at him and shook my head slowly. "Is everything okay?" I heard Pietro say. I looked at him, my vision blurred. He ran and caught me just as I collapsed.

I woke up in the same spot a minute later. Stephen had stitched my head and taped gauze on it. He and Pietro were kneeling beside me and I assured them that I was fine. I slowly sat up and Pietro gave me some food. I ate a little bit and felt fine afterwards. I stood up and just stood there for a while.

The following days consisted of Thor contacting Loki to make sure RedSkull wasn't causing any trouble.
