The Fangirl: Weaponized - Epilogue
Even as Loki activated the tesseract, a small part of him regretted resetting the dials. Not that he would ever admit that. Loki had a very strict policy when it came to messing up: Never let anyone know that you made a mistake, and act as though your failures were a part of the plan all along. Not that resetting the dials had been a mistake, per se, but it certainly was going to make things more difficult. It was more of an inconvenience than a problem.
Though admittedly, an inconvenience that could possibly get him killed.
As he let the handles of the tesseract device slip from his fingers and the blue light overwhelmed him, he told himse

The last few weeks of school after that day seemed to pass all too quickly. On the surface, everything seemed normal. There was cramming for exams, yearbooks to sign and for the seniors graduation preparations. Yet underneath it all, the school was changed.
Anna noticed that people looked at her and her roommates differently. Where most people had ignored her before, now she was getting reactions. Sometimes it was anger, sometimes fear, and more often than not, admiration. Everyone knew who had been behind the events with Loki, though no one dared to say anything aloud. It was the unspoken secret of Culbuter.
It wasn't just th

"Anna!" Lynn stood up and started to run forward, but Steve caught her shoulder. The situation had changed again. Anna wasn't a victim anymore. With that tesseract in her hands, she was the opponent again. And Steve wasn't about to let their only leverage against her run off to give her a hug.
Anna smiled and gave her friends a little wave with the hand holding the scepter. "A word of advice," she said coolly. "Thor's probably not your best bet when it comes to reconnaissance. No offence, Big Guy, but attention to detail doesn't seem to really be your forte." She looked thoughtful for a moment. "I suppose I should be glad that Hawkeye can't

"I told you already. I don't know where it is."
The blonde girl Bruce had said she'd given her name as Lynn sat back against the steps in front of the building, crossing her arms. This interrogation wasn't really going as well as Steve had hoped. He'd had some training in questioning prisoners, but he couldn't seem to get any more information from this girl. She didn't really seem to be defiantly holding back information. In fact, she just seemed annoyed that she was being interrogated for information she didn't have.
Steve was tempted to believe her that she didn't know where the tesseract was but Bruce had been

Everything was chaos and distortion, twisting in all directions. Loki's grip on her shoulder was the only thing that gave Anna a point of reference.
She stumbled and began to fall as the ground became solid again beneath her feet and gravity took hold once more. The world straightened itself out again for just a moment, and Anna barely got a glimpse of their surroundings, but a glimpse was enough.
A line of pillars to her left. A large set of wooden double doors to her right. Lynn and the two freshman girls standing just in front of them. The identical expressions of shock crossing their faces. The tesseract cradled in Lynn's arms.

All five of the Avengers in the courtyard held their earpieces, each of them trying to figure out how exactly they were going to get back to the quinjet without the archers turning them into pin cushions. In the meantime, however, they needed to find out what had happened.
"Banner!" Steve said. "The girls at this school are working with Loki, don't trust them!"
"Yeah. No kidding." Bruce's voice came over the radio, with a bit of static. "That would have been nice to know a few minutes ago."
"What's happened?" Steve asked.
"Is the tesseract secure?" Thor's eyes locked onto his brother as he spoke.
"Are you okay?" Tony asked. He was all bu

"What?" Bruce said, sitting up in surprise. This was turning out to be one of the strangest conversations he'd ever had. And considering the company he'd kept the past few months, that was saying something. "What do you mean? Of course we exist. Haven't you been watching the news? Didn't you hear about the invasion in New York?"
"Yeah, I heard about it." The girl, Lynn, said. "When I went to go see The Avengers in theaters. The movie that just came out a few months ago."
"Movie? I don't understand."
She shrugged, spreading her hands. "Yeah, neither do I! Up until Loki showed up, The Avengers was just a movie! All of this you guys, t

Dr. Banner frowned curiously at the quinjet's rear-view camera screen. With cameras set at nearly every angle, he had a very complete view of the soccer fields around the quinjet. And with all of the jet's weapons, the small airplane was a very defensible position. All the cameras meant he'd also be able to see anyone trying to sneak up on him.
Which was why he immediately noticed someone trying to do just that.
As he watched, a girl with a loose, blonde hair tied back peered around the bleachers of the soccer field. She looked back and forth quickly, her ponytail swinging behind her, then dashed toward the jet in a low crouch. As she ran,

The five Avengers fell back into a circle, facing outward in all directions, back to back. They were all fighters; they knew basic strategy. And as they watched hundreds of girls appear and arrange themselves around the courtyard, strategy told them that back to back was the only option. One thing was clear: over the course of less than a minute, their situation had changed from an opportunity to protect hostages to something far more sinister.
An ambush. Surrounded and outnumbered.
There were girls everywhere. The loud, yelling one on the roof had been joined by nearly fifty other archers. Like her, they had been crouching down behind the

Over the course of the next three seconds, Anna found herself grabbed, twisted, flipped and pinned. She slammed into the concrete hard, feeling the gritty surface scratch her other cheek as Agent Romanoff's knee dug into her back. The air left her lungs in a rush, and she gasped, trying to catch her breath despite the weight of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent on top of her.
How exactly did you think that was going to play out, Anna? She thought bitterly. At least Loki had gotten the scepter. Ever since the Avengers had shown up, she'd been somewhat worried that she wouldn't be able to pull off her part of the plan. She wasn't terribly thrilled that h
