Description
You didn't have much time to relax after you've spent time with Stephen.
A loud crash from outside the tower alerted the whole team, followed by an alarm. You got up quickly from your bed, hurrying into the meeting room after suiting up.

"It seems like Strange was right. A portal was opened, and a strong, unknown energy entered our dimension. I am not sure what it is, but it sure as hell ain't anything good." Tony starts explaining.
"Do you think it's Dormammu?" you ask, crossing your arms. Steve turns his attention to you, already dressed in his suit like everyone else.
"If he's as dangerous as Doctor Strange claims, let's hope that it isn't him." then he turns to everyone else.
"Alright, Avengers. Clint and Natasha, you'll take the Quinjet. Bruce, you'll wait in the jet for Code Green. Tony and Sam, you'll keep an eye on the streets from the sky, let us know if new portals are opened. Wanda, Vision, Scott, Thor and myself will go with (Y/n)."
Everyone nods, leaving to get to the Jet or flying off. Those who are assigned to go with you stay, and soon get swallowed by your shadows. You've read on the screen where the attacks are happening.

Climbing out of a shadow in the corner of the street you can see Stephen, already fighting off creatures unknown to you.

He lifts his hands, surrounded by a purple glow. "By the demons of Denak, retreat, beast!"
Just a second after, those creatures get shredded into pieces by what seems like invisible claws.
The sorcerer falls forward onto his knees, exhausted. You can understand why, remembering him telling you how busy he has been the whole week. And while you were sleeping. He barely had any rest since his last fight, and the fights before that.

You don't even waste a second, quickly moving your hands forward. The shadows shoot out of the ground like speers, piercing the creatures wich are about to attack your friend. Then moving your hands apart, the shadows also move apart, ripping the Mindless ones into pieces.
He turns his head to face you, a small, tired smile on his lips.
"(Y/n), it's good to see you."
"It'd be better to see you for a different reason though." you reply with a smile.

You lift your other hand, moving it in a wave in front of you to create a shield as the creatures shoot what seems like lasers from their eyes.

At the same moment Cap throws his shield wich bounces against the head of 3 of them. They fall to the ground and the shield lands in Steve's hand again.

"What are those things?" he questions as he blocks an attack.
"They are called the mindless ones. Dormammu's subjects, created by him."
"And Dormammu, is he free now?" you ask. You move your fist back, and the moment you move it forward shadows wrap around your arm and fist, making it bigger.
You crash your fist into a mindless one, your strength higher than before, and it crumbles into pieces at the impact.
"Yes, Dormammu is free. I need to bind him to his dimension again. But I am loosing strength and energy..."
"And what can you tell us about this Dormammu?" comes Thor's booming voice. His hammer flies from in front of you back into his hand, smashing off heads on it's way.
"Dormammu is a demon made out of pure magic. He cannot be killed as long as he rules the dark dimension, wich is why I am just able to bind him." he explains. "I need to get Dormammu back into the dark Dimension, but I can't fight him and the mindless ones at the same time."
"Then we will fight the mindless ones while you take care of their leader." nods Steve in understanding.

Thor then lifts the hammer, dark clouds forming above your heads, and thunderbolts strike the demon's henchmen.
Again you make a move to punch one of the mindless ones with your shadow-fist, but it dodges your attack. Instead your fist hits the car behind the creature.
"Ooh-uh...Stark will pay for that..!"

A loud, dark laugh gains your attention, making you turn around. Your eyes widen at what you see. A creature, about 6'1" tall. Instead of a head there is just a skull, surrounded by fire. It's wearing a wide, black cloak, almost like Stephen's. The eyes are glowing dangerously as he looks down at the Sorcerer. "Doctor Strange..." it speaks with it's booming voice.
"Dormammu.." Stephen mumbles to himself from beside you.

So that's the demon. You swallow nervously. This is nothing like what you've fought until now. The energy radiating from Dormammu alone is strong.

"Does he realize that his head's on fire?" you hear Scott's voice. You can't help but grin.
Then your hands turn into fists, shadows coming out of the ground, ready to attack, just moving beside you like snakes lifting their heads into the air.

You can hear Steve speaking into the earpiece; "Bruce, Code Green."

The Quinjet arrives in the right moment, opening in the back. A loud scream echoes through the streets as the Hulk jumps out of the Jet, and slams both fists into Dormammu's chest, making him stumble back. He manages to catch himself though, and blocks just in time the lasers coming from the jet's guns. He shoots flames from his fists, and you make a backflip to dodge a couple of his attacks.
"You need to distract him so I can collect enough strength to banish him and close the portals again."
"Very well, we will give everything." replies Vision, just as he enters your field of vision. With Sam and the others.
Tony's voice comes right after. "Strange, hit me with some of your energy. If I can analyze it, maybe I can use that to close some of the portals." Stephen does as he is told, and for a moment Tony's armor radiates of energy, a light purple glow coming from it.

The whole team starts landing attacks on Dormammu and the mindless ones, Hulk concentrating his attacks on Dormammu. You do too, though with his magic he can block most of your attacks. Tony uses his blasters to destroy Mindless ones and then stretches his hands towards one of the portals. A long blast comes from his gloves and slowly the portal disappears.

You see from the corner of your eyes as Stephen puts his hands together in front of him, as if he'd be praying, but then pulls them away from each other, a sword forming in between his palms.

Just in time he grabs it from the air, blocking an laserbeam from a mindless one. He severs it's head from the body, then turns to the next one, killing one after the other. He pierces through the leg of the next one, then swiftly moves the sword up, slicing the beast in half. You know he mastered all kinds of marterial arts. And indeed, he is using the sword so skilled and elegantly, it is almost stunning you.

Thor and Hulk attack at the same time, but the demon manages to catch both, squishing them tightly in his burning fists, before throwing them into the closest buildings. Mjölnir comes out of one of those buildings, catching Dormammu off guard as it crashes into his head. Together with one of Stephen's spells they manage to make him fall. Dormammu throws more fireballs at you all, but Wanda creates a shield in front of you, trying to keep it up as long as possible.

The ruler of the dark dimension then extends both arms as he gets up again, his whole body getting surrounded by fire, while a firestream heads towards all of you.
It doesn't seem to end, and while Wanda is getting weaker the firestream is just getting stronger. He laughs loudly and darkly, his voice echoing through the streets.

Your newest friend lifts his arms, closing his eyes in concentration, a faint purple glow coming from his palms. Stephens little and pointer finger are pointing out, and in front of his hands there are arcane circles, surrounded by strange symbols. The fire around the angry demon starts to dimnish but you can see how much strength it's taking from Stephen. Just when Wanda's forcefield is about to break you create a wall of shadows to keep you all safe. Finally the fire sdisappears completely and also the firestream stops.

"You are no match for the seven suns of Cinnibus!" Stephen exclaims loudly as he hovers in the air above you. He parts his arms, and a beam of fire seems to come from just in front of his chest. Dormammu screams loudly, not able to block the attack.
The Scorcerer Surpreme then opens another portal, large enough for the weakened Dormammu to fit in.
"By the crimson bands of Cyttorak!" a purple glow surrounds the ground around the Sorcerer and two bands come out of it, wrapping around Dormammu. You can see, Stephen directs them with his hands, dragging the large Demon into his dimension. He's using his last bits of strength.
Dormammu tries to fight, squirming in hopes to free himself. He digs the fingers of his free hand into the ground, but it is of no use. He gets dragged deeper and deeper into the portal.

You exhale sharply as he suddenly turns his gaze to you, his gaze fixing on yours intently. Your eyes widen and it seems like you can't turn your gaze away.

Before the portal closes his last words reach you.

"Kill them!"

Within a second your mind is clouded, and there is just one thought in your mind. You need to kill the Avengers and Doctor Strange.
With a growl you turn to Clint, moving your fist like in a punch, but instead of your fist, bundled shadows smash into him, throwing him through the air harshly.

"What the-?" you can hear Sam's voice, but you don't care. Instead you move your glare to him, lifting your hands into the air and thousands of black speers shoot out of the ground from around you, though he manages to dodge them.

"Why is she attacking us?" ...Iron Man.
"One of Dormammu's powers is mind control." explains Stephen. You move around your own axe, swinging your arms in the same movement, and your shadows turn into the form of many sickels. They shoot towards the Sorcerer but he blocks your attacks, his arms crossed in front of his body, wich create a forcefield in front of him.

You hiss angrily, trying a few more attacks, until finally the field breaks and he also gets thrown back, a bleeding gash on his chest and arm.
"We can't attack her...she's our friend." Scott comments. You can hear sorrow in his voice, but it doesn't reach your brain. It's like you have never met him before.
You don't let it distract you though.
Silent, almost not audiable but quick steps come closer to you, and you turn again, lifting your leg just in time to block Natasha's attack. With a jump you throw up your other leg, but she blocks with her forearm, using her electric wristbands to shock you. Both of you throw fists at each other, block the other's kicks, every now and then landing a hit. Though you don't feel any pain.
Instead you finally manage to kick into her stomach, making her double over. You throw up your knee into her jaw, but even though you manage to hit her, she jumps away right when her chin gets thrown back.
"You've always been a great student, (Y/n)..." she mumbles.

This time it is your turn to fall forward as the Captain's shield hits your spine. An angry growl escapes and even on all fours you turn to him, ready to attack, but the surface of his shield hits the side of your head.

When you see the Hulk, out of control, flying through the air, closer and closer, fist ready to land a hit you just in time move back your own fist, again getting it covered by shadows, and both your fists clash together, making the street shatter in a circle around you with the impact.
Before you can react he punches you right into your stomach, making you fly through the air, breathless, into a scyscraper high above the ground. Quickly regaining your breath, you climb out from between the broken pieces of the walls, feeling anger rising within you. Once you freed yourself you run to the hole in the wall, jumping out of the building. The shadow used to create your clothing transforms slightly. Wings are sprouting out from between your shoulderblades, turning into pitch-black feathers.
You are freely falling for a moment before your wings spread, slowing you down within a second and your legs get thrown forward. You use the momentum to kick the Hulk, though he barely is affected by it.
You dodge his punches, blocking them with shadows easily, moving your arms fitting to your blocks.
You turn around just in time to ward off one of Hawkeye's arrows. Then, throwing up your leg while you make another turn, you block one of Natasha's kicks. Turning around your own axe with a jump you land a kick on her chest, making her stumble once, then make a flip backwards.

Hawkeye attempts a punch to your back with his bow, though shadows wrap around his arm, and with a quick movement of your hand he gets thrown over your shoulder and lands in front of you. He quickly rolls to the side as one of your shadows is about to pierce through him. Then he gets onto his feet again. You block punch after punch from both, Natasha and Clint, then you break Clint's flow with a kick to his leg, making his leg buckle for just a moment while you keep Natasha in place firmly with shadows. That second you use to punch his jaw, but he dodges, moving back and throwing up a leg, hitting you across your cheek even though you lifted your arm in an attempt to block it.
About to return that kick, one leg lifted, you suddenly find yourself crashing onto your side, then to the other side.
You remain on the floor for a moment, and receive what seems like an invisible punch to the chin. But after you see Scott, the size of an ant, jumping onto a fly. You reach out to grab him, but he flies right through your fingers. You are going to squish that little bug beneath your boot next time.

You get up quickly, and with one beat of your wings you are high in the air again, dodging a couple of arrows and an attack from Falcon. Still high in the air you fight, hand to hand, with Sam, landing kicks and punches and earning some in return. You make a quick turn back, giving an extremely hard kick to his chin, making him crash through a window.
Throwing forward your hand, shadows shoot forward and perforate his mechanic wings.
Then you fly over to him, grabbing him by his collar and dragging him to the broken window.

"Fly, little bird." you say maliciously and throw him out of the 35th floor.

With a scream he falls, his wings spread, though they dont keep him in the air anymore. Your wide smirk turns into a frown when Thor catches him mid-fall. A glare starts forming on your face now and you jump, following them down.
Just above the ground you use your wings to slow down your drop. Slowly you straighten again to face the team.

"Scott.... Giant-man." is all Cap says. First he hesitates, but then Scott's helmet closes and with a deep breath in he presses the buttons on his gloves. He quickly gets taller and taller, until he is almost the size of the skyscrapers surrounding you.

"Sorry for this, (Y/n).." he says, and lifts his leg, then moves it down again to squish you under his foot. He barely misses you as you jump to the side, but he then bends over slightly as his fist speeds down above you. You turn completely black just before his fist hits you and it moves right through you, instead smashing into the street. When he lifts his fist again your shadows loop around his arm, dragging his arm back within a second, his arm moving beneath his feet and throwing him off them. He makes a somersault and lands hard on his back, creating a slight earthquake and a few cracks in the footing of the buildings.
He lets out a groan; the taller, the deeper they fall.
He shrinks back to his usual size.

"I never knew she is that strong." comments Clint, and the others nod.
"There is much you don't know about me." you hiss. You bend over, your hands on the ground, and your shadows surround you completely, taking the form of a black, wolf-like beast. Instead of your face there is the head of a wolf, with large, black fangs. Your hands and feet turn into claws, and your whole body is thicker with the shadows surrounding you, working like an armor. A loud roar comes from you, and you push yourself off the ground, racing forward. With your claw you fling back both, a stunned Cap and Tony, giving another roar before attacking the others.

They've never seen you in this form. You used to keep it a secret, as it is hard to control, but right now you don't care.
Now having back his energy, Doctor Strange's voice gains your attention.

"By the crimson bands of Cyttorak!"

The same purple bands wich wrapped around Dormammu wrap around your body, trying to keep you in place. The beast around you tries to free itself, claws piercing into the street, trying to drag you forward.
Now unable to move the others try to attack you, kicking, punching, shooting arrows. It's all useless though. Just in time you notice the Hulk, moving to punch your head. You raise your claw, stopping his punch. The shadows creating your claw wrap around his fist, making him unable to move as well, just to use this moment to bite into his shoulder. The fangs pierce through his hard skin, locking themselves into his body as he tries to jerk away, just making his first ever wound even worse.
With Hulks movements even Doctor Strange isn't able to keep you in place anymore and the bands around you loosen. The beast's jaw opens and with a slam of your claws you throw back the green Hero.

Slowly you turn around, facing Strange, ready to pounce. You are completely focussed on him.
You attack, but with a wave of his hand you are thrown to the side before you can reach him.
"By the seven rings of Raggadorr!" Seven blue rings form around him.
More tries, but all of them are blocked, but you can see his strength again is fading. He is too exhausted from the last few day's attacks. Finally you manage to break the forcefield, throwing him several feet away where he lands on the ground, ignoring Steve's shield as it hits the back of your head, Hawkeyes arrows and Tony's energy blasts. You head straight for the sorcerer who is now attempting to get up again, on the floor with one knee. He tries a few more forcefields but they are all broken.

You jump, your claws landing on his shoulders to pin him to the floor. One of your claws lifts, ready to rip him apart, but suddenly your mind is less clouded.
You can see him. Properly see him. The man you like, or rather, start to have feelings for.
The creature surrounding you lets out an earpiercing shriek, making the others cover their ears, Bruce now back to his real form. Though since Stephen can't cover his ears with you still pinning one of his arms, there dribbles out a little bit of blood from his uncovered ear.

The shadows start getting out of control, some keeping the form of the wolf-monster intact, others trying to dissolve it. Those are waving through the air wildly, unable to remove themselves completely because of the side in your mind that still tries to attack, and trying to pull away because of the side that tries to fight the mindcontrol.

You stumble back, forcing the creature to move off the sorcerer supreme.

More shrieks and growls come from the creature as you try to fight its controlled moves. Finally your face is free, and you look at Stephen, at the wound YOU created on his torso. Glancing at the others you see them wounded too.
Bruce with the wounds of your bite, Sam's arms wich got wounded when you pierced his wings, the other ones, cut and bruised from all your other attacks.

The sound of something speeding through the air catches your attention and you turn towards the sorce of it. Just then you barely have the time to see Mjölnir coming closer quickly, hitting you straight in the face, making you crash to the ground with a cry. Blood splatters to the ground and leaks down your face.
For a moment you just see black, a strong headache starting. Opening your eyes you lift your hand to your hurting head. This is going to leave a bruise for sure.

Your headache just hits you stronger when you think back to what just happened.

Feeling tears welling up in your eyes you first try to keep them back. But you hurt your friends...you can't forgive yourself that. Even if it wasn't your own desicion, but made by someone else. You cross your arms in front of your body, making you feel just a little bit more comfortable.

But there is one thought in your mind.

You need to go, to keep them all safe.

Everyone nods, leaving to get to the Jet or flying off. Those who are assigned to go with you stay, and soon get swallowed by your shadows. You've read on the screen where the attacks are happening.

Climbing out of a shadow in the corner of the street you can see Stephen, already fighting off creatures unknown to you.

He lifts his hands, surrounded by a purple glow. "By the demons of Denak, retreat, beast!"

"It'd be better to see you for a different reason though." you reply with a smile.

You lift your other hand, moving it in a wave in front of you to create a shield as the creatures shoot what seems like lasers from their eyes.

At the same moment Cap throws his shield wich bounces against the head of 3 of them. They fall to the ground and the shield lands in Steve's hand again.

"What are those things?" he questions as he blocks an attack.

"Then we will fight the mindless ones while you take care of their leader." nods Steve in understanding.

Thor then lifts the hammer, dark clouds forming above your heads, and thunderbolts strike the demon's henchmen.
Again you make a move to punch one of the mindless ones with your shadow-fist, but it dodges your attack. Instead your fist hits the car behind the creature.
"Ooh-uh...Stark will pay for that..!"

A loud, dark laugh gains your attention, making you turn around. Your eyes widen at what you see. A creature, about 6'1" tall. Instead of a head there is just a skull, surrounded by fire. It's wearing a wide, black cloak, almost like Stephen's. The eyes are glowing dangerously as he looks down at the Sorcerer. "Doctor Strange..." it speaks with it's booming voice.

So that's the demon. You swallow nervously. This is nothing like what you've fought until now. The energy radiating from Dormammu alone is strong.

"Does he realize that his head's on fire?" you hear Scott's voice. You can't help but grin.
Then your hands turn into fists, shadows coming out of the ground, ready to attack, just moving beside you like snakes lifting their heads into the air.

You can hear Steve speaking into the earpiece; "Bruce, Code Green."

The Quinjet arrives in the right moment, opening in the back. A loud scream echoes through the streets as the Hulk jumps out of the Jet, and slams both fists into Dormammu's chest, making him stumble back. He manages to catch himself though, and blocks just in time the lasers coming from the jet's guns. He shoots flames from his fists, and you make a backflip to dodge a couple of his attacks.
"You need to distract him so I can collect enough strength to banish him and close the portals again."
"Very well, we will give everything." replies Vision, just as he enters your field of vision. With Sam and the others.
Tony's voice comes right after. "Strange, hit me with some of your energy. If I can analyze it, maybe I can use that to close some of the portals." Stephen does as he is told, and for a moment Tony's armor radiates of energy, a light purple glow coming from it.

The whole team starts landing attacks on Dormammu and the mindless ones, Hulk concentrating his attacks on Dormammu. You do too, though with his magic he can block most of your attacks. Tony uses his blasters to destroy Mindless ones and then stretches his hands towards one of the portals. A long blast comes from his gloves and slowly the portal disappears.

He pierces through the leg of the next one, then swiftly moves the sword up, slicing the beast in half. You know he mastered all kinds of marterial arts. And indeed, he is using the sword so skilled and elegantly, it is almost stunning you.

Thor and Hulk attack at the same time, but the demon manages to catch both, squishing them tightly in his burning fists, before throwing them into the closest buildings.

You exhale sharply as he suddenly turns his gaze to you, his gaze fixing on yours intently. Your eyes widen and it seems like you can't turn your gaze away.

Before the portal closes his last words reach you.

"Kill them!"

Within a second your mind is clouded, and there is just one thought in your mind. You need to kill the Avengers and Doctor Strange.
With a growl you turn to Clint, moving your fist like in a punch, but instead of your fist, bundled shadows smash into him, throwing him through the air harshly.

"What the-?" you can hear Sam's voice, but you don't care. Instead you move your glare to him, lifting your hands into the air and thousands of black speers shoot out of the ground from around you, though he manages to dodge them.

"Why is she attacking us?" ...Iron Man.
"One of Dormammu's powers is mind control." explains Stephen. You move around your own axe, swinging your arms in the same movement, and your shadows turn into the form of many sickels. They shoot towards the Sorcerer but he blocks your attacks, his arms crossed in front of his body, wich create a forcefield in front of him.

Quickly regaining your breath, you climb out from between the broken pieces of the walls, feeling anger rising within you. Once you freed yourself you run to the hole in the wall, jumping out of the building. The shadow used to create your clothing transforms slightly.

That second you use to punch his jaw, but he dodges, moving back and throwing up a leg, hitting you across your cheek even though you lifted your arm in an attempt to block it.
About to return that kick, one leg lifted, you suddenly find yourself crashing onto your side, then to the other side.
You remain on the floor for a moment, and receive what seems like an invisible punch to the chin. But after you see Scott, the size of an ant, jumping onto a fly. You reach out to grab him, but he flies right through your fingers. You are going to squish that little bug beneath your boot next time.

You get up quickly, and with one beat of your wings you are high in the air again, dodging a couple of arrows and an attack from Falcon. Still high in the air you fight, hand to hand, with Sam, landing kicks and punches and earning some in return. You make a quick turn back, giving an extremely hard kick to his chin, making him crash through a window.
Throwing forward your hand, shadows shoot forward and perforate his mechanic wings.
Then you fly over to him, grabbing him by his collar and dragging him to the broken window.

"Fly, little bird." you say maliciously and throw him out of the 35th floor.

With a scream he falls, his wings spread, though they dont keep him in the air anymore. Your wide smirk turns into a frown when Thor catches him mid-fall. A glare starts forming on your face now and you jump, following them down.
Just above the ground you use your wings to slow down your drop. Slowly you straighten again to face the team.

"Scott.... Giant-man." is all Cap says. First he hesitates, but then Scott's helmet closes and with a deep breath in he presses the buttons on his gloves. He quickly gets taller and taller, until he is almost the size of the skyscrapers surrounding you.

"Sorry for this, (Y/n).." he says, and lifts his leg, then moves it down again to squish you under his foot. He barely misses you as you jump to the side, but he then bends over slightly as his fist speeds down above you. You turn completely black just before his fist hits you and it moves right through you, instead smashing into the street. When he lifts his fist again your shadows loop around his arm, dragging his arm back within a second, his arm moving beneath his feet and throwing him off them. He makes a somersault and lands hard on his back, creating a slight earthquake and a few cracks in the footing of the buildings.
He lets out a groan; the taller, the deeper they fall.
He shrinks back to his usual size.

"I never knew she is that strong." comments Clint, and the others nod.
"There is much you don't know about me." you hiss. You bend over, your hands on the ground, and your shadows surround you completely, taking the form of a black, wolf-like beast. Instead of your face there is the head of a wolf, with large, black fangs. Your hands and feet turn into claws, and your whole body is thicker with the shadows surrounding you, working like an armor. A loud roar comes from you, and you push yourself off the ground, racing forward. With your claw you fling back both, a stunned Cap and Tony, giving another roar before attacking the others.

They've never seen you in this form. You used to keep it a secret, as it is hard to control, but right now you don't care.
Now having back his energy, Doctor Strange's voice gains your attention.

"By the crimson bands of Cyttorak!"

The same purple bands wich wrapped around Dormammu wrap around your body, trying to keep you in place. The beast around you tries to free itself, claws piercing into the street, trying to drag you forward.
Now unable to move the others try to attack you, kicking, punching, shooting arrows. It's all useless though. Just in time you notice the Hulk, moving to punch your head. You raise your claw, stopping his punch. The shadows creating your claw wrap around his fist, making him unable to move as well, just to use this moment to bite into his shoulder. The fangs pierce through his hard skin, locking themselves into his body as he tries to jerk away, just making his first ever wound even worse.
With Hulks movements even Doctor Strange isn't able to keep you in place anymore and the bands around you loosen. The beast's jaw opens and with a slam of your claws you throw back the green Hero.

Slowly you turn around, facing Strange, ready to pounce. You are completely focussed on him.
You attack, but with a wave of his hand you are thrown to the side before you can reach him.
"By the seven rings of Raggadorr!" Seven blue rings form around him.
More tries, but all of them are blocked, but you can see his strength again is fading. He is too exhausted from the last few day's attacks. Finally you manage to break the forcefield, throwing him several feet away where he lands on the ground, ignoring Steve's shield as it hits the back of your head, Hawkeyes arrows and Tony's energy blasts. You head straight for the sorcerer who is now attempting to get up again, on the floor with one knee. He tries a few more forcefields but they are all broken.

You jump, your claws landing on his shoulders to pin him to the floor. One of your claws lifts, ready to rip him apart, but suddenly your mind is less clouded.
You can see him. Properly see him. The man you like, or rather, start to have feelings for.
The creature surrounding you lets out an earpiercing shriek, making the others cover their ears, Bruce now back to his real form. Though since Stephen can't cover his ears with you still pinning one of his arms, there dribbles out a little bit of blood from his uncovered ear.

The shadows start getting out of control, some keeping the form of the wolf-monster intact, others trying to dissolve it. Those are waving through the air wildly, unable to remove themselves completely because of the side in your mind that still tries to attack, and trying to pull away because of the side that tries to fight the mindcontrol.

You stumble back, forcing the creature to move off the sorcerer supreme.

More shrieks and growls come from the creature as you try to fight its controlled moves. Finally your face is free, and you look at Stephen, at the wound YOU created on his torso. Glancing at the others you see them wounded too.
Bruce with the wounds of your bite, Sam's arms wich got wounded when you pierced his wings, the other ones, cut and bruised from all your other attacks.

The sound of something speeding through the air catches your attention and you turn towards the sorce of it. Just then you barely have the time to see Mjölnir coming closer quickly, hitting you straight in the face, making you crash to the ground with a cry. Blood splatters to the ground and leaks down your face.
For a moment you just see black, a strong headache starting. Opening your eyes you lift your hand to your hurting head. This is going to leave a bruise for sure.

Your headache just hits you stronger when you think back to what just happened.

Feeling tears welling up in your eyes you first try to keep them back. But you hurt your friends...you can't forgive yourself that. Even if it wasn't your own desicion, but made by someone else. You cross your arms in front of your body, making you feel just a little bit more comfortable.

But there is one thought in your mind.

You need to go, to keep them all safe.
