All they want is to live their lives in peace, and that's not going to happen today. But we can do our best to protect them. And we can get the job done, and find out what Ultron's been building. We find Romanoff, and we clear the field. Keep the fight between us. Ultron thinks we're monsters and we're what's wrong with the world. This isn't just about beating him. It's about whether he's right.

The words of Steve Rogers rung around in Lottie's head as she stood beside him and Wanda Maximoff in the streets of Sokovia in the early hours of the morning. The familiar red mist poured from the young woman's hands, invading the homes as she manipulated their minds to force them to leave. It was the only way to evacuate as many civilians as fast as possible.

The pair took one last look back at Wanda, who gave them the go ahead nod before they took off for the bridge to help with the evacuation and the back up of cars.

"If we make it through this, I got something I want to ask you afterwards," Steve called out to Lottie as they ran onto the bridge. She stole a look over at him before facing forward once more.

As quickly as possible, she rushed a couple of bystanders into the car as it spend off down the bridge after the rest of them. Steve and Lottie controlled the rest of the traffic, keeping them moving off the bridge under the ground below began to rumble.

Many of the rogue Iron Legion bots arrived as Steve and Lottie both held up their shields, deflecting their blasts and breaking them in half to give the civilians time to escape.

Everything stopped as they looked around. Roads were cracking, buildings were shaking, and people were screaming. The bridge before them cracked in half, the cars slamming on their brakes before finally, a portion of Sokovia lifted into the air.

Lottie and Steve stepped up to the edge of the bridge between the cars, eyes wide as they looked down at the portion of the city they were leaving behind.

"Tony, is there a reason Sokovia is now airborne?" Lottie called out for her friend.

"Um, unfortunately, yes. Vision, and yes that's what I'm calling him, burned Ultron out of the internet. He's using the rest of the vibranium for this brand new theme park ride called 'Sokovia's Last Ride',"
