It was October, and the cold had finally started seeping in slowly. Though cold would be a long stretch, the autumn was definitely in its end phase now. Liam had just returned from the second ga of the day. It had been tough for Liam in the second ga because it involved completely new gaming tactics and combat.
It didn't help that he couldn't bring his abilities or the fact that the blood of Núnor was flowing through his veins. Each ga ant he had to start from ground zero. It was awful, and in the second ga, he even had to play as a woman. Thankfully, his mind didn't degrade, and he could use the old tactics from his mind to find his way out of tough situations. And he was close to finishing the first ga.
It was 11 p.m. when Liam was almost asleep in his bed, and his phone rang.
"Tony, it's 11 p.m. I have school tomorrow," Liam said after he picked up the call.
"I will pretend I didn't hear that. And right now, the city needs your help," Tony said.
"I am not Green Arrow, that the city will need my help at every turn," Liam said, a bit pissed that his sleep was broken by Tony's call.
"Listen to . There is a monster on the loose, and the military is having a very hard ti taking care of it. SHIELD has asked for my help, but it will take an hour for to reach New York, even if I use my fastest speed. So until then, please help contain it," Tony said, and in the next mont, he sent a video of Central Park at night.
It was the Abomination.
At the mont, he was wreaking havoc, and it had started from Harlem. The military had been trying to control and contain the damage and had managed to bring Abomination to Central Park, but they weren't able to kill or cage him. Destruction and damage were everywhere.
"Where is Banner?" Liam asked.
"Wait, you know about Banner? How do you know this? I was only briefed about it a few minutes ago," Tony complained. "He isn't here. According to SHIELD, he is sowhere in Brazil, and it would take days to get hold of him."
"Fine... I will go," Liam said and slowly got up.
He took out his hood and face mask, then climbed out of his bedroom. Since he was being shadowed by SHIELD, it was better he took a normal route out, so after scaling and crossing so buildings, he found himself at a tro station.
It took him so ti to reach Central Park, but he was able to do so while being updated by Tony. Thankfully, Abomination was still in Central Park, and the military was able to contain him.
Of course, the local branch of SHIELD also extended its help.
The night was thick with chaos as Abomination rampaged through Central Park, his monstrous form tearing through trees and sending terrified civilians fleeing in all directions. Military forces and SHIELD operatives had set up a periter, their weapons trained on the behemoth, but their bullets did little more than irritate him. Explosions lit up the night as rockets impacted against his thick hide, barely slowing his advance.
Liam erged from the shadows, unnoticed by everyone present, thanks to his wraith abilities. Without hesitation, he launched his spectral glaive, the ethereal weapon slicing through the air before striking Abomination's legs and arms in rapid succession. The poisoned edges bit deep, and though the beast roared in pain, the true effect beca apparent monts later.
(A/N: If you need a visual scene here, rewatch the Levi vs. Annie fight from the AOT ani.)
At the end of the day, the body of Abomination was based on a human being, so the nerves were still there. His limbs stiffened, muscles locking up as the venom took hold, forcing him to the ground for the first ti that night.
"Hold your fire... Hold your fire... Don't shoot! He is a friendly!"
It was Phil Coulson. He sighed in relief when he saw the Wraithborn appear. He hadn't been briefed by Fury about his suspicions regarding Liam being the Wraithborn, but Phil had also seen the footage at the pier. And though he wasn't on board with his killings, one couldn't deny that what he did was justice for the children there.
So when he saw Wraithborn appearing with the sa mask and armor, he knew that this person would help them, and until then, they would try not to antagonize him. Thankfully, his shout about Liam being friendly had its effect, and the shooting stopped.
Soon, Abomination's regeneration kicked in, his wounds sealing at a slow but steady pace. He let out a deafening roar while Liam stood a few yards away from him.
"You have made lose sleep, Blonsky... Wait... You are Blonsky, right?" Liam asked.
All he got in return was another shout, with saliva almost hitting his armor. Thankfully, he dodged at the last mont. Abomination charged at Liam, but before he could reach him, an arrow whistled through the night and embedded itself in his foot. Ice spread rapidly, freezing the beast's limb to the ground.
Liam wasted no ti. Twin swords materialized in his hands. He dashed forward, moving faster than the human eye could track, his blades carving into Abomination's thick flesh. Each strike was precise, targeting joints and weak points. He also added Elvish fury to his attack. In addition to Liam's strikes, spectral versions of himself also attacked Abomination.
The military and SHIELD agents were dumbfounded as they saw various versions of him, with long ears and a crown on his head, appearing from Liam's body and attacking. The spectral glow on the figures could be seen easily. At first, they thought Liam was just another super soldier, but now they didn't even believe that this person was a human being.
