She takes off running towards Spidey, who's swinging his way over to the terminal. She pushes off the ground and flies over towards him. Reaching out, Talia sends a ball of fire as him, watching as it hits him with a small explosion.

As he falls towards the ground, Talia pulls roots from the earth up and around his ankles.

"Ahhh! What the hell?"

Talia lands opposite of Spiderman, she wraps the roots tight around his ankles, but keeps them in place when he winces.

"You don't understand what's happening here."

"And you do? You're a kid too."

"Yeah," she says as she starts to turn away. "But I grew up around these idiots."

She starts running towards the terminal to help Bucky and Sam, when she's wrapped in more webbing. She curses herself. How could she not cover his hands? What an idiot.

Talia falls to the ground, wrapped in a cocoon of webbing and watches as Spiderman makes his way to the terminal. "Asshole!" She calls out.

She groans and lets her inner fire seep out. She watches as small flames start up in her palms, then slowly they spread up her arms and down her legs, melting off the webbing. She stands up and shakes the rest off, before flying after the boy in red.

She watches from a distance as he crashes through a window and goes inside the terminal right where Sam and Bucky are. Talia pushes herself faster, trying to get there in time to help.

Talia makes it there just as Sam knocks the boy off a beam and then he webs Sam's wings, causing him to crash.

She chuckles as he webs Sam to the railing.

"Those wings carbon fiber?"

"Is this stuff coming out of you?"

"That would explain the rigidity-flexibility ratio, which I gotta say, that's awesome man."

"Oh my god you sound just like my friend Peter. Droning on about smart people stuff." Tal says as she knocks Spidey to the side with a gust of wind.

"I don't know if you've ever been in a fight before, but there usually isn't this much talking." Sam says. "Well, maybe with Tal there is."

Spidey pushes up from the ground. "Alright, sorry my bad." He knocks into Bucky and Sam, pushing them over the railing and onto the floor a level below.

He quickly webs them to the ground.

"Gotta admit," Tal says as she makes her way over to Spidey. "That was funny."

"Look, I'd love to keep this up, but i've only for one job here today, and I gotta impress Mr Stark, so I'm really sorry."

Spiderman holds out his hand to shoot a web at the men, but Tal's faster. She sends a large, blue energy blast at the boy which sends him flying out of the terminal.

"You couldn't have done that earlier?" Bucky asks.

"Do you want me to help you guys or not?"
