A white haired young man was on his way from picking up a few supplies for making his arrows, normally he would have gone to Shield to ask for them but for some reason he was just in the mood to be on his own for today. If anything, and Francis hadn't been apart of the Avengers, he would have been likely a loner like his father had been before joining the Avengers. There were very few on the team that he trusted that much, sure he did have respect for the older ones like Tony Stark and Captain America, Thor and the Hulk, but the younger ones were just immature.
Though there was one kid that he did seem to get close to, as he helped him on his first day. Maybe it was because he understood his problems that he had gone through. Not having parents to look after him, or hardly having them around and being left alone. They were so similar, but he wondered if Taylor knew that. For now, he kept himself quiet as he let Taylor adjust to his new life, checking up on him every once in awhile, but pretty much letting him adjust to his own thing. As he arrived to the shop he handed the man at the front desk his order slip. "Ah here to pick up the usual Francis?" He asked as he nodded in response.
"You have it right." He added.
"Well then I'll take five minutes to bring everything out. Promise." The older man added as Francis nodded understanding. A few moments had gone bye as he disappeared into the back, but as Francis waited, he stiffened hearing a noise outside that surprised him. It was an alarm coming from a nearby bank.
"Oh perfect timing." He said sarcastically as he took the second bag that he had with him out as he took out his case of quivers, and held his retractible bow in it. "Can you wait a few more minutes something's going on nearby." He called out to the clerk but before he would let out an answer Hawkeye took of towards the area that had been robbed. Knowing that there were bound to be people that needed to be apprehended. And he had his arrows to do it.

Lots of things have been happening in his life.. All the new training and any other things... But today Taylor wanted sometime alone and to think. So he was out riding his bike around enjoying the wind in his face as he biked down the side walk. Though he hoped not to run into his Father... That was the last thing he wanted to happen. That day was not to long ago but it still burned in his memory.. The world he once knew was taken away.. All due to his blasted powers mostly.. But also his choice to become a Young Avenger, though that was something he did not regret. As thoughts went through his mind he sighed and shook his head. As hard as he tried he could never seem to shake those gloomy thoughts..
He then started to think of the Avengers and the ones he had met so far. Tony, the one who asked him to join, though sadly he had not seen much of him after that... Then Francis, a older boy who seemed to know what he was going through and was willing to be his friend. And Sol who has been training him how he could use his wind powers in diffrent ways. Yes those where the memories he wanted to think of.. But soon his thoughts derailed. He heard the sounds of screaming and alarms. Taylor stopped his bike and looked around, it sounded like it was coming from the bank. Taylor gulped, well here was his chance tp prove himself... He then started to peddle has fast as he could trying to get to the bank. As he did he saw someone he knew also heading for the bank. Taylor then started to slow down and got off his bike. "Francis!" Taylor called out so the older Avenger would know he was there.

Francis had taken out his bow, and it was ready to be used when he needed it. However he stopped when he saw Taylor nearby and nodded back to him. "Heay Taylor it's a bit of a considence I think that we met here. I was merely picking up some items for my arrows when this arrived. But now if you want, we can work together this time to stop them. What do you say to that?" He asked Taylor to see what he would think of that possibility. If worst came to worst he would have to call in the other Avengers for help if the two of them couldn't handle it. But how hard could it be, being a bank robber? It could just be a normal human for all they knew.

Taylor ran up to Francis and then looked at the bank as he asked of he wanted to help. Well he did join a hero group and Francis was here.. So its not like he would be alone. Unlike the few times he did stand up to someone breaking the law before he joined the Avengers. Taylor's heart raced as fear started to set in but Taylor knew he has to over come it. He then looked back at Francis. " Lead the way." Taylor said, unsure what to really say. Seeing this was his first battle as a Young Avenger he was unsure what to do.. So he just hoped he would not get in Francis's way..

"You'll do fine I promise." Francis assured Taylor as he saw a bit of a nervous look in his eyes as he began to head towards the entrance. But it seemed already that there were people starting to come out that were carrying weapons. He took out his first arrow which had been slightly skinner compared to the other ones that he had. He then carefully strung it. "What we're going to have to worry about no doubt is the gun fire. Can you help me with that? Use your powers to take away their weapons." He asked.
Once he had the target right he sent the arrow flying straight for one of the masked men. Though it wasn't at the men it was for what they were holding. Instantly the arrow made contact with the gun as it came through the hole that allowed the bullet to come out. And it made it's mark. As the gun struggled to fire, it however instead blew up in the person's face as Hawkeye had an extra addition to it as it was an arrow that would explode. He had severaal other arrows lined up with him if they needed a lot more support.

Taylor's eyes grew wide as he saw that men where coming out with guns. He took a few steps back but then stopped himself. No is was no time to be a scaredy cat.. He had to stand up and fight, and give Francis the back up he needed, when Francis gave out a order Taylor nodded and looked at the gun men. Right take away their guns.. Taylor then started to call apon the power of wind, as he did so the wind started to pick up. Taylor then fouces hus winds and send razor wind at the gun men. Knocking the guns out of the men's hands or cutting the guns in half. And due to the force if wind he was useing also knocked some if the gun men off their feet.

"THat was a good one Taylor you knocked away a lot of them. But it seems more keep pouring out." Francis assured Taylor. He was certainly getting better at this, even though he could tell he was scared. That's how it was with everyone, they had to admit that times like these they were often very scary, if they pulled through there would certainly be a rewarding end if they tried for it. As Francis saw another wave of them starting to come out he decided to take another turn to it as he loaded his bow with three arrows, one in the middle slot, one above, and one below as they fit against the string. As he fired they went straight for three men that were nearby as they blew up in their faces as soon as they came into contact with the gun, many of them were startled by the rain of falling arrows and as well as Taylor's wind. But he wondered just how long they would be able to handle this unless they had no choice but to call the other Avengers for help.

Taylor smiled weakly when Francis said he was doinga good job, though his heart was still raceing. How much longer could they both keep this up? It seemed the gun men just kept coming!! And he guessed these guys where just the grunts.. The boss or bosses may be harder to keep back. Taylor then called up another gust of wind and sent more men flying back into the building. Ugh where are the police when you needed them? All Taylor could do was keep pushing the men back and break their guns. Though now a few started to shoot at them and Taylor started to flinch. "Francis! We can't keep this up forever! Have any ideas!?" Taylor called to Francis.

"If anything I'll call the Avengers we'll need their help more than ever." Francis said as he looked back at Taylor as he took out his card to try and turn it on. However a ray of bullets came flying in his direction as he hid himself behind one of the street lamps in order to get out of the way just in time as he was waiting for his card to turn on. After a few more seconds it did as he heard Tony's voice. "Francis what's wrong? Is that gun fire that I hear in the background?" Tony asked showing heavy concern.
"You have that right. I'm asking for help in the Red Light District area. Bring everyone you can Tony. I'm down here with Taylor and we can't do it alone." Francis said as he was about to say one more thing as he saw another bullet heading towards their direction. It was out of instinct mostly as he came over to Taylor to try and move him out of the way. But he didn't get there in time. There was something sharp that struck his side as he was knocked back to the ground as he let out a painful yell. "Francis we'll be there as soon as we can hang in there." Tony assured him as there was great worry in his voice.
But for the hero he was sure he had been hit by one of the stray bullets that was flying through the air as he put a hand over the area that stung so badly. Sharp pain coursed through his torso as he felt it, feeling something warm. It was no doubt his blood that was starting to come through as he had only a few minutes to stay concsious if he lost so much. "Taylor I've been hit...but the good news is the Avengers are coming..."

Taylor Taylor then started to change tactics from attacking to defending, there was just to many of them. Taylor then formed a wall of wind infront of him sending the bullets right back at the shooters. He may not hit any but it was better then getting hit himself. from the corner of his eye he saw that Francis was trying to make his way over to him only to be shot. Taylor's eyes grew wide as he saw blood start to come out of Francis's wound. He then said something about the others coming, it was good to hear but now Taylor had to protect Francis. Without saying a word Taylor moved and stood infront of Francis making a wall of wind all around them. " I will protect you till they come. Untill then don't fall alseep try to stay awake!!" Taylor said as he did his best to send the bullets flying back at the shooters with his wind but was having a hard time doing so. Sarah Sarah had not been to far away, she had decided to go out for the day just for fun. But then she heard it, the sounds of shooting and people screaming. Sarah frowned and started to run, she may just be a X-student but she could not just stand by when she could help. And she had been training so she knew she would be able to do something. when she got there she did not like what she saw, lots of gun men going after two boys and they seemed pinned, one looked hurt and the other was trying to protect him. Well those where unfair odds.. Without much thought Sarah ran in the air getting cold in the area. " Looks like you guys could use some help!" She said so the boys knew she was there. Sarah then rasied her hands and shot out beams of ice at the gun men. Knocking a few over and freezeing them to the ground. Then they started to shoot at her, Sarah then made a thick wall of ice infront of her to block the bullets. She then started to shoot ice at the gun men from the sides of the wall. Ok... This is not what she had in mind but it was better then nothing... Sarah then kept aiming at the gun men trying to freeze them to the ground.

"I'll do my best at that." Francis said as he held onto the wound to try and make less blood come out but it wasn't an easy job. He was doing his best as he said to try and stay conscious, a lot of the noise and the activity that was going on around them was starting to help him do that. Not to mention now his heart was pounding as it was trying to recover the loss of blood and as well as a run of adrenaline. As he looked up he saw that Sarah had arrived onto the scene.
She had managed to block the men from firing at them with an impressive use of her ice ability. It was no doubt that she had been training well with the X-Men in order to go to that level. Though Francis felt his body starting to feel dizzy, it wasn't a good sign as he tried to ignore it. He was doing the best he could in order to stay conscious, and he promised Taylor he would. However something nearby caught his attention as he looked up, a very familiar blue light was appearing through the sky, coming straight for the robbers. "It looks like Tony's arrived as well." He said pointing up for Taylor to notice.
Tony
"Jarvis can you give me a map or a blueprint of what the building looks like inside. If they just fight these grunts they'll get no where fast. We need to find the boss behind it." Tony said as he heard Jarvis starting to upload the maps as he began to fly down to where the gun men were. Along side with Sarah Tony turned on a shield that turned bright red as the bullets deflected off of them.
"First of you guys got on my bad side today. No one and I mean no one hurts any of the Avengers without getting through me first." Tony exclaimed as he turned on his repulsor ray and shot a blast of blue light at the remaining men. But they started to scramble for the ones that were still able to stand. Tony picked up one of the grunts to try and see if they could get them to talk. "Okay tell me who's behind this? What are they after?"
"Gold of course. The bank has a lot of it, the boss was trying to take as many of the bricks as he can. In fact he's using hostages in side in order to get what he wants out." The man said as Tony still hung onto him to make sure that he wouldn't escape that easily.

Taylor Taylor looked at the girl who had come, with a mix of relife and shock, She seemed to know what she was doing. Well sort of.. For now she was kinda pinned down as well but still able to attack. So she was doing way better then he was at the moment. All he could so was to make sure Francis stayed safe and try to keep him awake. Though he had to attack some how as well the help the girl that had joined in.So then Taylor let out a strong gust of wind to knock more of the men down. And watched as the ice girl froze them to the ground. "Francis! Keep taking you hear me! Please just keep talking!" Taylor said trying not to panic. Thats when Tony showed up and more of the men that where able to run started to leave out of fear of Iron man. Now With both Iron man and the girl taking on the men Taylor was able to lower his wall of wind and turned to help Francis. Aww man that looked bad... Taylor then knelt down taking off his coat and placed it on Francis's wound and started to apply prasser trying to stop the bleeding not careing if his coat got ruined. "Sorry of this hurts its the only thing I can do." Taylor said as he faught back tears. He felt so helpless and weak.. Sarah Sarah kept on blasting Ice at the men and nodded over to Taylor when he knocked some more down. She then froze them to the ground, and the ice would not melt unless she wanted it to. Though she knew that this was going to where.. She had to get inside if she was going to be able to do anything useful.. Just then she heard the sounds of rockerts and looked up to see Iron man. So those two where part of the Avengers?? Wow that was a shock, but a good one. She then watched as Iron man grapped a man and made him talk. Oh that was classic... Stealing gold bars and making hostages help with the dirty work.. "Ironman!! I can put a freeze on their plans if I just had a opening!" Sarah called out to him. She had never worked with the Avengers before.. But they would have to work as a team in order to put a stop to this.

Francis
"I'll be fine. Taylor I promise on that one." Francis said as he tried to sit up bit even that was difficult to do. But Tony hadn't been unprepared as he saw a Quinjet starting to arrive into the area. No doubt to pick up the two boys to bring them both to the hospital area in the Stark building. If worst came to worst Francis would have to go into one of the medical buildings. "Heay it looks like Tony sent in one of the Quinjets. We can finally get out of here. Plus it looks like they know what they're doing."
Tony
"Sarah is it? I uploaded a map into my suit so I could easily help us manouver our way around in it. Or were you looking for me to blast a whole in the building so you can get in?" Tony asked as he dropped the man down onto the ground after seeing how frightened he was. They were just mere fodder for the real boss who was still in side. If they used Sarah's ice powers they would no doubt be able to stop everyone easily before managing to cause even more damage. Not to mention Tony waas still annoyed at them for causing so much trouble for the younger members of the Avengers. If anything he would have given them a nice long chat but that looked like it wasn't going to happen.

Taylor Taylor frowned as Francis spoke and even tried to stand up. "Hey don't try to sit up that could make it worse." Taylor said though he did not try to make Francislay down. He then looked up when he said something about the Quinjet. It felt good to see it but he was still worried for his friend. Though the Quinjet must have been going fast to Taylor everything seemed to be going in slow motion. Though he did not want to go back... "No I;m staying here.. I can't get stronger if I leave from every battle I get into.. Keep applying prasser ok?I will see you soon." Taylor said as he stood back up and made his way back over to Ironman and Sarah using wind to block any bullets that may be coming his way. "Iromman! Is there anything I can help with?" Taylor asked and hoped that answer would be yes. Sarah Sarah blinked in shock when Ironman said her name. How in the world did he know that? But then again Ironman was a tech wiz so he could have looked up her files for something through his suit.. Though she did find that a little scary and creepy that someone could do that... Thoughs she shook her head at the idea of blasting a hole in the side of the building. "No, lets try stopping them without blowing things up. I will follow your lead Ironman." Sarah said with a nod and waited to follow Ironman into the bank.

Tony "Quicksilver talks about you on occasions. I think he considers you a friend since he last saw you. And you fit the description that he gave to me. So I apologize if that sounded a bit odd." Tony said to Sarah feeling a bit odd about it at first. Of course he knew a lot of the heroes out there being that he had to help sometimes in allying ways, some names just showed up in the newspapers or on the news. "I'll lead you guys in, and Taylor you can come help if you're up for it." Ironman said knowing that he may have been frightened for what was going on. But he was proud on how brave he was being. Especialy to help out Francis at this point. But he knew that this would be done and over quickly. "We'll start heading in and I'll take you guys to the shortest route through it." Tony added as he began to head into the building where the men came out. He had his repulsor rays ready in case he had to blast few through some men. He at least hoped that wouldn't happen anymore. Francis Francis seemed out of luck at this point as he was wounded, but he was at least glad that Taylor was going to help. He had to get back to the building before the wounds got worse or he passed out on the street in the middle of this mess. Finally he managed to get a grip as he held onto one of the sign that he had taken cover from. But he did just as Taylor asked him to do and to apply the pressure where it had been bleeding. So far it had been slowly starting to stop but he had a while before the bullet could be pulled out. All he had to do was to get into the Quinjet.
