Freya sighed as she looked down at the dark forest beneath, the same forest where she left her sister two years ago. What the hell were they doing?

Wanda and Vision usually kept their agreement, always checking in at least once a week, often with video calls, but two weeks ago Vision turned off his transponder, meaning that he is invisible to all radars and GPS, and no one of the two spoke with the others again. And now Steve, Sam, Natasha and Freya were on the way to Scotland where they left them, hoping that they wouldn't be too late.

"Hey, Freya", Steve called from the front. He had a beard now which he grew while they were on the run and Freya had to admit it looked quite good on him.

"What is it?", she asked and came over to him.

He pointed to the screen in front of him, where a news report was currently showing pictures of New York - and a huge, huge spaceship that looked a bit like a doughnut standing in the middle of the streets, leaving destruction in its path.

Freya gasped. "Who are they?"

"I guess we'll find out soon enough", Sam answered and pointed out of one of the windows. Everyone rushed over to him to look and there it was - the same spaceship, looking even bigger up close, floating right over the city. Fear crawled up Freya's spine and she shivered, not just from the cold. Were they too late? Were Wand and Vision already-? No, Freya didn't finish that thought.

"Land close to it, but not too close", Freya said, not caring that she just gave Steve an order. It was about her sister. She wouldn't let her down. Not again.

To her surprise, Steve obeyed without question and a minute later, they landed on a nearby empty marketplace.

"Freya, can you find out where they are?", Natasha asked.

Freya closed her eyes and searched for the minds of Vision, of the intruders, of anyone. And then she found Vision's and went into his head.

He was lying on the ground in what seems like a train station, holding a deep wound on his stomach. Wanda was kneeling next to him, a nasty wound on her head and coming towards them two alien-looking creatures, both with blue hair and grey skin. But the only thing Freya felt was relief, that her sister was still alive, that they weren't too late. At least not yet.

"Train station", Freya said and ripped herself out of Vision's head, not wasting any time as she conjured her wings and every bit of power she had in her, ready to defend her sister, her girlfriend, her family.

"Don't kill them, only when necessary", Steve ordered and then looked around. "Okay, let's go." He didn't waste any more time as he started running, closely followed by Natasha, while Sam and Freya flew over them and finally landed on the glass roof of the train station, right next to a hole which was next to them. Someone must have crashed through it.

Freya leaned forward a little and glanced down at her sister now standing next to Vision, facing the two aliens. Her right hand lit up with red energy, then her left one and Freya couldn't help but feel proud. Her sister was a true warrior.

A train drove past and then Steve stood there, coming out of the shadows. Freya almost rolled her eyes at his dramatic entrance, basically hearing heroic music playing. Did he really just wait for a train to come by just so he could make a show?

One of the aliens, a female one, Freya suspected, threw a spear at Steve, but he leaned to the side and caught it with ease.

"Show-off", Sam murmured beside Freya and she could only chuckle and nod in agreement as she watched how her sister and Vision turned to look at Steve.
