"Oh, my god, there's two of them," I mumbled, glancing down at the battlefield. Everyone was now charging towards the section of the now-open barrier, Steve and T'Challa running faster than everyone else and jumping straight into the mob of weird-looking aliens.

"How much longer, Shuri?" The king asked over the comms.

"We've barely begun, brother." She responded as the two of us worked on the projection of the stone, which was being translated to the machine working on the actual stone attached to Vision.

"You two might want to pick up the pace." He grunted back.

"Well, you heard his majesty." I tilted my head, both of us trying to get our fingers to catch up with how fast our minds were going.

It didn't take long for the ground to rumble, and a familiar bright light shot down from the sky, making me sigh in relief.

"What is that?" Shuri panicked.

"Don't worry, it's gotta be Thor," I told the princess, making her sigh in relief.

"Him being there is turning the tide a bit. How are things going with the stone?" Wanda asked.

"Could be better, but we're doing the best we can," Shuri told her, making me nod in agreement.

Though I knew the truth Shuri wasn't telling her.

Even with my extra help, we still may not be able to make it.

The ground rumbling once more caught our attention, and Shuri and I glanced out the window as Wanda walked up to it, seeing several large machines drive straight through the barrier, causing the team to fall back.

"Olivia-"

"Go. I'll keep him protected." I promised, briefly looking at the witch before going back to my work.

Shuri and I continued our work as a red glow came over the field from Wanda's magic, though a loud shout from behind caught our attention, causing us to stop.

"Shuri, don't stop!" I ordered the princess, abandoning my work as I walked towards the alien that was invading our space. "I don't think you're supposed to be up here, man."

"You'll soon wish you weren't." The alien shot back, moving to attack me with his long spear.

"What does that even mean?" I yelled as I ducted, using my powers to feel for any familiar type of metal in the weapon.

Once I was able to grab hold of the slightest bit of familiar substance, I shoved my hands outwards, pushing the spear towards the alien and knocking him back into the hall.

"I think I'd be best if the fight stayed out here."

"I disagree entirely." The creature grunted, moving to attack again before I took hold of his blood, causing him to freeze in his spot.

"Shuri! Please try to hurry!" I yelled back at the princess.

"I'm going as fast as I can!" She yelled back as another explosion from the fight below shook the room, momentarily distracting me.

The alien used the moment to break free of my hold, successfully hitting me with his spear and shoving me backward, quickly moving the weapon to hit me, the glass of the lab breaking as I fell into the next section down.

I grunted in pain as I moved to stand, gasping upon seeing Shui's body be the next to be tossed out. I quickly made my way towards her as the alien jumped down, making sure she was okay as Vision quickly tackled the creature feet away from us, sending them both out the other window and down into the forest below.

"That wasn't supposed to happen." I groaned as Shuri and I got to our feet, running out the room.

"Guys, we have a Vision situation here," Sam spoke through the comms, probably having seen the android fall threw the window.

"Somebody get to Vision!" Steve quickly yelled.

"I got him!" "On my way." Bruce and Wanda responded.

"Shuri and I are on our way now!" I panted as we ran through the large palace, Shuri leading us threw any secret access tunnels that will get us down faster.

"Guys! Vision needs backup, now!" Bruce yelled again.

"I'm coming, Banner! Try to hold 'em off just a bit longer!" I shouted back, trying to make my legs go faster as I was already way ahead of Shuri.

"Bruce, where are you guys?" I asked as soon as I made it outside. I looked up upon hearing a loud roar, seeing a large alien shooting right for the barrier, getting himself burnt and electrocuted as he flew across the shield. "Nevermind."

"Vision!" I screamed, seeing the alien that fought Shuri and I remove his spear from the android's chest, dropping him to the ground.

Without thinking, I pulled a "Steve Rogers", running straight into the creature and knocking both of us to the ground.

"Get out of here!" I quickly yelled to Vision, grabbing hold of the alien's blood and slamming him into a tree. "Go!"

The creature quickly charged at me again, and I did everything in my power to dodge his attacks, trying to hit him back whenever I could. At some point, I was able to get ahold of his spear, throwing it away from the being and rendering him exposed.

Right after landing a solid punch to the alien's face, the creature grabbed me by the neck, lifting me and throwing him into a fallen log, similar to how I did him with the tree. I yelled out as the hooded being aimed the sharp end of his spear at my neck, stupidly grabbing it with my bare hands and using all my muscle and power strength to push it away.

I coughed in relief as another spear went threw the alien's back, Vision lifting him off the ground and tossing him to the side.

"Vis!" I gasped as the android fell in front of me. "I thought I told you to go."

"We don't trade lives, Olivia." He panted, causing me to smirk.

"You've obviously spoken with Steve about this."
