It was an ordinary day in New York City. The sun was shining, people were going about their business. Everything was fine until a blue beam shot from Stark Tower into the sky, moments later opening a large hole in the sky, revealing the blackness of space.
Within minutes, unknown creatures began emerging from this hole. No one was prepared for this: not the citizens of New York, not the army of nearby military bases, not even the group of people the tower's owner himself had dubbed "The Avengers."
The first to go and "greet" the guests on Earth was none other than Iron Man. The guests weren't expecting to be greeted so quickly, so the first salvo of small, high-tech missiles hit the first wave of targets. After this greeting, many of the aliens decided to return the favor, and a large group followed the man in the red and gold, state-of-the-art suit.
As the chase began in the sky, panic erupted on the ground. Many people who saw what was happening in the sky began to take cover and hide. But no matter how terrifying it was, many began filming the events and posting them online.
Panic was increasingly gripping the city. While Iron Man fought in the skies and local police units increasingly attracted the aliens' attention, two significant points began to appear on the streets, where the aliens were being exterminated.
There were three people at the first point. The most conspicuous one was wearing a blue suit and a shield with a star on his chest; the other two were less conspicuous: a girl with bright red hair and a man with a bow. Together, they took up a position as a squad and held it, making forays to help the civilians.
At the second point, there was a man in a light black jacket with the hood up and jeans. The strangest thing was that he was surrounded by numerous dead aliens, all of whom had large ice blocks embedded in various parts of their bodies. Many people looked at him with fear, but they still followed his instructions.
Only after finishing eliminating the squad near a small street restaurant did the young man begin moving toward another point. Large blocks of ice that had previously protruded from the invaders' bodies began to melt rapidly, and water from them began to flow behind the young man and form a large ball. During the next confrontation, streams of water began to shoot out of the ball using gestures, freezing along the way and impaling 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 local defense forces to arrive were dozens of fighter jets. The first salvo of missiles destroyed numerous targets, and the second destroyed a large alien "whale." With fewer enemy targets in the sky, the battle on the ground became somewhat easier.
A young man used the power of water to lift a car that had trapped a young couple. Without thinking, he misused the vehicle, launching it at the alien infantrymen who were trying to reach 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 strike up a conversation. The young man pointed to the crowd of people hiding around him. After looking around, Iron Man handed him something and, without wasting any time, rushed back into the fight.
The battle for the city had already raged for over an hour, and more and more defenders began arriving. Helicopters and infantry in lightly armored vehicles arrived.
Many air forces were quickly destroyed, and infantry had a hard time reaching the battle zone due to traffic jams in Manhattan.
Many witnessed Thor and the Hulk destroy a large "whale" that was dropping troops. At that moment, the waterbender sat next to the body of a dying young woman, with a crying child beside her. Using his powers, he healed the mother. The young woman witnessed him use water to heal a wound from an alien weapon right before her eyes. Even as she hugged her child and sat with others, she couldn't believe what 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 major battle, but such a large number of troops attracted the attention of one of the whales that had not been destroyed by the troops.
Seeing it approaching, many began to panic. Meanwhile, few noticed how the water surrounding the hooded man began to gather in one spot. He also began collecting water from nearby springs within easy 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 halted its advance.
Everyone watched as the monster began to hang suspended on a thick layer of ice, impaled by numerous ice shards. After looking around and making sure everything was alright, the hero headed to another location, where there were more aliens...

Steve Rogers never imagined 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 had scattered. Stark was in the sky, Hulk was wreaking havoc somewhere, Clint was on the roof, and Natasha had gone to find a way to close the portal. Now it was just her and Thor fighting outside.
He no longer knew how long they fought. But no matter how many they killed, more 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 approached from the other side?"
"No, it's one person."
"And how will he help us?" Captain America replied, catching the shield he threw at the alien.
"If my eyesight serves me right, 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 well how Iron Man dealt with several chariots.
After joining Thor in battle, within a couple of minutes he saw a large wave of water moving in his direction.
Without 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. "Now that's 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.
"Looks like you're the backup Stark was talking about."
"With our forces, we will quickly deal with them," Thor was more encouraged by the small tactical victory.
"Yes, I hope you have a plan?" The young waterbender kept behind the cars to avoid becoming 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 said, showing off how he sent several ice arrows at the enemies on the walls.
Simply nodding to him, they all continued fighting, covering each other.
Steve was amazed by the abilities of the boy next to them. The ability to control water was something he couldn't comprehend. He wondered if he was like Thor.
The three of them made it easier to hold the line. In the next moment of calm, he was shocked when, before his very eyes, the boy healed several wounds 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 everything quickly began to spin.
Natasha was ready to close the portal, but Tony reported a nuclear missile flying towards them and he had a plan.
After launching a nuclear missile into the portal, all the aliens seemed to shut down and cease to pose a threat. Flying out at the last moment, Stark watched as he fell, but the Hulk caught him.
And now, over the non-breathing Stark lying on the ground, a guy unknown to him was already bending over, 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, everything's fine, I guess we deserve a day off, and yes, a day off and we need to eat something. 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 the 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 coming with them.
He slowly walked up to the guy and offered his hand.
"Thank you so much for what you did. We are now forever in your debt."
"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 with black hair and blue eyes.
"Whatever your reasons, you still helped many. And that 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 Stark Tower, which was not in the best condition.
"We've just won a victory like 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, gently nudging Alex along with him.
Never before had Steve been so pleased with Tony's talkativeness.
