Liam studied Barton for a moment, and then, without a word, he reached behind him, producing a bow unlike anything Barton had ever seen.

    Sleek and elegant, the bow was crafted from mithril and a mixture of alloys along with the toughest wood he could find. Delicate yet unbreakable, the limbs of the bow curved with an artistry no human craftsman could replicate. Strange runes, etched in a language unknown to Barton, pulsed faintly along its surface.

    Barton''s breath hitched. He didn''t need to be told—this was no ordinary weapon. He knew this because he had seen the same kind of bow on Liam''s hand before.

    "This is an Elvish bow," Liam stated. "I crafted it myself. It is superior to any bow made by human hands."

    "The runes on its limbs," Liam continued, pointing at two distinct markings near the grip. "One activates freezing arrows, the other—" He tapped the second rune. "—turns them into explosive arrows. Focus your will on the rune you want to activate before releasing your shot."

    "You''re serious?" Barton''s grip tightened.

    "I''m lending it to you for this battle. But when the war is over, I expect it back."

    "Uh.." Barton looked around. He could see many eyes were now focused on him, even Fury was looking at him in one from the command center.

    "You don''t have to look at them. They will never be able to uncover the secrets the bow holds in their lifetime. Those who can, will never work of SHIELD." Liam said. This made Natasha smile. It seemed Liam didn''t have a good view of their SHIELD, but here he was. Helping them. What a hypocrite.

    Barton let out a low chuckle before pulling the string back experimentally. He barely had to apply force—the bow responded as if it were an extension of his own body. Smooth. Precise. Deadly.

    "This is insane," he muttered. "I don''t even know what to say."

    "What are you called around here? Tin-man."

    "Actually I have a more fancy name, but we can wait for the introductions." Tony replied as he eyed the frost giants and also the ultra large ones. He wasn''t thrilled at all. "And you brought guests. How thoughtful, too bad I hate uninvited company. Alright, big guy. You''re up."

    A deep mechanical rumble filled the air as something massive fell from very high up. The ground trembled beneath its weight it landed.

    BT 7274

    The Titan''s towering form loomed over them all, its armored plating gleaming under the cold light. The massive machine halted beside Tony, its glowing visor scanning the area. Liam had already known that his good old friend would be here, and he had underwent some upgrades to his tech. Thanks to the new technology of Arcanist and the Forge.

    Loki didn''t have a good look on his face as he looked at Wraithborn who hadn''t spoken a single word but just like Thor, he could tell that he was a great warrior. There were also Natasha and Barton along with the Warrior Three. And aside that he also sensed soldiers with weapons on the far side ready to mow them down.

    "So brother, you have opted for war. War you shall recieve." Then, with a mere flick of his fingers, the Frost Giants lunged forward like a tidal wave of ice and fury

    Tony was the first to strike. He shot skyward, and unleashed a devastating Lightning Strike. Arcs of electricity split the battlefield, momentarily halting the advance of the Frost Giants as their bodies convulsed under the high-voltage onslaught."That get your attention, popsicles?" Tony quipped, dodging a spear of ice hurled his way.Barton wasted no time, channeling his will into Liam''s Elvish bow. The runes flared as his arrow ignited in a blaze of fire. The arrow found its mark, striking a Frost Giant in the chest, detonating on impact with a fiery explosion that sent shards of ice and charred flesh flying."Yeah, okay, I''m in love with this thing," Barton muttered before nocking another arrow.

    The Warriors Three charged forward, engaging the Frost Giants in brutal close combat. Volstagg''s axe cleaved through icy flesh, Fandral danced through the battlefield with swordplay, and Hogun''s mace shattered their frozen enemies with every devastating swing.

    Then Liam moved.

    A wraith-like blur, he vanished into Spectral Dash, appearing above a Frost Giant before plunging his spectral blade into its skull. He Shadow Pulled another toward him, driving his dagger through its chest before tossing the lifeless body aside.@@@@
