Each with Their Own Opponent

Hawkeye drew his bow without hesitation, and an arrow flew straight at Captain. Captain nimbly dodged it and rushed toward Hawkeye.

The battle began. Captain's shield and Hawkeye's arrows clashed in a fierce duel. Captain used the shield's defensive power to block Hawkeye's attacks while displaying his unmatched fighting skills, trying to get close and break Loki's control over Hawkeye.

Relying on his agile movements and precise archery, Hawkeye kept his distance and continuously tried to strike Captain's vital points. Captain, meanwhile, used his tactical intelligence and extraordinary reflexes to close in on Hawkeye, searching for an opportunity to counterattack.

Captain instantly decided to use the cramped stairwell to limit Hawkeye's shooting angles. He swiftly dodged Hawkeye's arrows, weaving through the gaps in the stairs while repeatedly using his shield to intercept Hawkeye's attacks.

They engaged in an intense physical confrontation in the stairwells and corridors of Vanko Tech Building.

Hawkeye was no pushover either. He quickly adjusted his stance, leaped onto the stair railing, and used the height advantage to take aim at Captain again. He fired several arrows, but Captain nimbly evaded every attack.

Seizing the opportunity, Captain suddenly charged up from below the stairs and slammed his shield fiercely toward Hawkeye. Hawkeye responded quickly, blocking the blow with his bow before using the spring of an arrow to bounce backward and keep his distance.

The two launched into a series of swift, brutal close-quarters exchanges in the stairwell. Captain switched rapidly between offense and defense, using his trained combat skills to block Hawkeye's arrows with his shield while launching fierce attacks with nimble footwork. His fists, knees, and shield alternated without pause, leaving Hawkeye no chance to catch his breath.

Hawkeye refused to be outdone. His arrows were precise and swift, one after another streaking through the air as they sought Captain's vital points. He nimbly evaded Captain's attacks, using his agility and precise archery to maintain distance while looking for a chance to strike back.

"Your archery still needs work," Captain said at a corner.

Using the stairwell's terrain to his advantage, Captain sometimes took cover around the bends and sometimes quickly climbed onto the railings, constantly changing his posture to avoid Hawkeye's attacks. He used the shield's defensive capabilities to block every arrow before taking the opportunity to launch fierce counterattacks.

Hawkeye continuously adjusted his shooting angles, fixing Captain's position with sharp eyes as he worked to find a chance to break through Captain's defenses. He used his masterful archery to keep as much distance as possible while constantly launching deadly attacks, trying to defeat Captain.

As Hawkeye's arrows gradually dwindled, Captain, despite having his arm grazed by an arrow, caught an opening. He rushed straight in and violently smashed his shield into Hawkeye's arm holding the bow.

Hawkeye staggered back several steps in pain, but he still stubbornly maintained an attacking stance.

Seeing how agile and mobile Captain was, Hawkeye's expression turned grave. Without hesitation, he put away his bow and switched to close combat. He darted toward Captain with agile movements and landed a precise punch directly on Captain's cheek, the force behind it considerable.

Captain endured the pain and immediately retaliated. Using his exceptional combat skills, he launched a counterattack against Hawkeye with an accurate, powerful combination of punches and kicks. Every move was filled with power and speed, combining hardness and softness with flexibility and ferocity.

Hawkeye evaded Captain's attacks with equally agile movements. He slipped past Captain's punches and kicks in elegant, streamlined motions before swiftly striking back. His attacks carried deadly precision, each one aimed at Captain's vital points.

A resolute gleam flashed in Captain's eyes. He continuously adjusted his tactics, using the stairwell's terrain to his advantage. Skillfully using the walls and stairs for support, he made his attacks more varied and unpredictable. He suddenly leaped up and smashed his shield down at Hawkeye, forcing Hawkeye to dodge quickly.

Hawkeye used the stair railings and walls to maintain his balance and stability. He countered Captain's assault with rapid, precise kicks. Every kick was packed with force, driving Captain back.

Captain was not discouraged. He immediately answered with a fierce barrage of punches and kicks. His fists struck Hawkeye's body like lightning, delivering tremendous impact. Hawkeye tried to evade, but Captain's speed and accuracy made it impossible for him to avoid everything.

As the battle continued, Captain gradually found Hawkeye's weakness. He discovered that Hawkeye's defense was somewhat frail, so he steadily increased the force and frequency of his attacks. Captain's punches and kicks came without end, striking Hawkeye's body and gradually forcing him onto the defensive.

Hawkeye felt himself being steadily suppressed. He understood that if he did not act, it would be difficult to turn the tide. He focused his mind and tried to counterattack Captain.

The instant Hawkeye threw a punch, Captain hurled his shield.

With a bang, the shield slammed into Hawkeye's body.

"Get some sleep, Clinton." Captain's fist followed immediately, knocking Hawkeye unconscious.

After Andrew used telekinesis to blast away a group of Chitauri infantry, he sensed a powerful mental energy rushing toward him. He immediately raised his mental defenses, trying to withstand the force of the mind control. He shut his eyes, gathered his focus, and prepared to confront this enemy's psychic power.

"This time, you won't have anyone to help you." Supergiant's gaze was sharp as her psychic power flooded the battlefield, trying to invade the depths of Andrew's mind.

Andrew resolutely resisted Supergiant's psychic attack. His telekinesis rapidly spread out, forming an invisible barrier to block her intrusion. His mind was filled with determination and confidence; he would not allow anyone to invade his inner world.

"Get lost!" Andrew opened his eyes and glared furiously at Supergiant.

Their powers engaged in a fierce clash within the realm of the mind. Supergiant tried to invade Andrew's thoughts, seize control of his consciousness, and turn him into her puppet. Andrew, meanwhile, struggled to remain clear-headed, combining his willpower with telekinesis to resist her attack.

Supergiant's psychic power surged continuously as she tried to find Andrew's weak point and strengthen her control. Her gaze was sharp and cold. She knew that if she successfully invaded Andrew's mind, she could tip the scales of the war to some degree.

Andrew felt the pressure mounting and gave his all to resist Supergiant's attack. He used telekinesis to construct a powerful barrier in the mental realm, sealing Supergiant's psychic power outside. His thoughts became firm and clear, and he resolved not to be controlled by her.

The battle continued in the realm of the mind. Supergiant constantly tried to shatter Andrew's resistance, while Andrew fought to preserve his will and mental clarity. His telekinesis intertwined with Supergiant's psychic power, creating an intense battle of minds.

"You think I'm still defending like always? Then you're wrong."

Feeling Supergiant's psychic power, Andrew immediately struck back. He gathered his telekinetic power, condensed a Telekinesis: Shockwave, and swiftly hurled it at Supergiant.

Supergiant's expression turned grave. She tried to dodge, but Andrew's attack was too fast, and the shockwave struck her body with perfect accuracy.

A powerful blast of energy erupted. Supergiant was driven back several steps, and her control loosened slightly.

Andrew did not stop. He condensed another shockwave and attacked Supergiant with even greater force. His telekinesis formed an energy beam that shot toward her like lightning.

Supergiant could not dodge in time. The energy beam struck her directly, blasting her away and into a wall, leaving behind a massive dent.

"I don't need to block you completely. As long as I defeat you before you control me, that's enough." Andrew gave a wicked smile.

Andrew did not let up. He used telekinesis to control the objects around him and fling them at Supergiant. Chairs, tables, debris—countless objects, controlled by Andrew's telekinesis, rained down on Supergiant like a storm.

Supergiant resisted with all her strength, using her psychic power to fend off the incoming objects, but the sheer number of attacks overwhelmed her. She was forced to retreat again and again, struggling to maintain her defenses.

"Looks like your injuries haven't fully healed yet."

Andrew seized the moment to launch an even fiercer offensive. His telekinesis surged continuously, forming a powerful energy storm that engulfed Supergiant. The storm carried violent winds and flashes of lightning, mercilessly tearing apart Supergiant's psychic defenses.

Supergiant gritted her teeth and resisted with everything she had, but Andrew was gradually suppressing her power. She felt herself unable to hold out any longer. Her psychic power collapsed, and her body trembled violently.

In the end, Andrew's telekinesis completely suppressed Supergiant's psychic power. Supergiant collapsed to the ground, struggling weakly. She was now completely under Andrew's control.

"Your control is over." Andrew's voice was filled with power and confidence.

Supergiant weakly raised her head. She understood that she had failed and that her plan had been shattered. Yet a resolute light still flickered in her eyes.

"You... still can't stop... their arrival," she said with difficulty.

Andrew frowned slightly. He knew that the "they" Supergiant referred to meant the Chitauri army, and that the battle had only just begun.

"The Chitauri and Loki?"

"Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!" Supergiant forced out a meaningful smile.

"Are you my opponent?" Electro calmly looked at the mysterious figure blocking his path.

Kaecilius smiled as a dark aura spread around him. He raised his palm, and the power of Black Magic began to surge, summoning a gigantic octopus whose tentacles lashed toward Electro.
