Once Nat had recruited T'Challa, we went back to the Compound. Tony had brought in Peter and Rhodey in on the plan,
"Tony we can't involve Peter" Nat said, her reasoning being that he is too young,
"I want to help" he replied, speaking up for himself,
"Besides, I could take you in a fight" he says towards Nat,
"Don't get ahead of yourself" Tony smiles,
"I can watch out for him," I say, patting him on the back. Vision arrived into the lab, letting us know that Clint and Wanda made a run for it.
S.H.I.E.L.D. intel let us know that we should head to Germany, that they were making their way there, we followed them to an airport. Tony made sure to wait for them all to arrive before putting the airport on lockdown and evacuating civilians.
*
You see Steve make a run for the helicopter that Clint had waiting for them. Tony and Rhodey fly in, stopping him in his tracks, and Tony hits the helicopter with a localised EMP. T'Challa also makes his presence known, Steve warns them that there are 5 other super soldiers just like Bucky that they need to stop, and that's when Nat makes her presence known, she also tries to convince Steve to back down. Tony calls in Peter, who swoops in and takes Steve's shield, and tries his hands together.
You watch them go back and forth, both thinking they are in the right and you are not sure who to go with at this point. You walk out from behind an aircraft standing with Nat, you use your thermal vision and find Clint and Wanda at the top of the parking bay, you also see Bucky and Sam in the airport as well. You look at Wanda for a brief second before Steve raises his hand above his head and Clint shoots an arrow cutting right through the webs keeping his hands tied.
A man appears out of nowhere, kicking Peter in the face and handing Cap his shield back. Tony lets everyone know that he is going after Wanda and Clint, Rhodey identifies Sam and Barnes in the airport and T'Challa takes off at the sound of Bucky's name, Steve tries to stop him.
You see that Nat and the man that kicked Peter in the face start to get into it, and he suddenly shrinks, flipping Nat over, she zaps him with her widow bites. You fly up in the sky to see what is happening, you see Tony dropping small bombs towards Clint and Wanda, you see Steve and T'Challa fighting, Peter, Sam and Bucky, and you can't help but freeze, not knowing what to do. You see Wanda start throwing cars at Tony, you laughed as he got buried in the cars.
You decide to get a piece of the action, seeing the man that tried to hurt Nat earlier running up to Steve. You stand in front of them both as Nat Joins you, he hands Steve something and they throw it at you and Nat. A gas truck appears out of nowhere, you quickly push Nat out of the way as it fell, and it exploded around you, engulfing you in the flames. Now you were mad, that would of killed Nat, you emerge from the flames, red fire burning in your hands, and your red eyes staring them both down,
"Well that's not good" you hear the man say to Steve, you start to hurl fireballs towards them both,
"ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE" you shout at them both,
"YOU COULD OF KILLED SOMEONE" you shout again, rage inside of you burning hot as you continue to throw balls of fire towards them,
"I thought it was a water truck" the man responds, you focus on him while Steve makes a run for it, running towards the QuinJet,
"Hey look, Y'n isn't it?" the man says, you hear the shaking in his voice,
"I'm Scott, think we could work this out?" you get the fire to grow bigger in your hands as you slowly make your way towards him, and just like that, he vanishes again... you try to look for him but to no avail. That's when Vision shows up and you see the rest of them making a run for the jet. Vision stops them in their tracks. You make your way over to the the rest of them, flying over while in red flames.
Steve continues to fight, they all make there way towards us,
"This is going to end well" Nat says as she looks towards the group of people in front of us. They all break into a sprint and fighting ensues. You look over and see Nat fighting with Clint, you look beyond them and see Wanda has her eyes trained on the fight as well, you get closer to the two them, they were both fighting and talking, you were behind Nat and Wanda behind Clint. Nat is about to kick Clint in the face when you see her foot light up in a red glow, Wanda threw Nat into the air, you quickly flew up to catch her before she hit the ground,
"Thanks for catching me" she says looking at you,
"I'll always be there to catch you" you say as you finally set her down. You are ripped away from her by the same red glow, and Wanda has now threw you away from the scene you control yourself in the middle of the air to stick the landing. You fly over to Wanda,
"That wasn't nice" you say, throwing a ball of fire at her, she quickly moves out of the way,
"Now who's fighting dirty" she smirks, you make your way down to her, you both decide to catch your breath, and have a mini truce between yourselves as the rest of you fight, until Scott grows into a giant,
"What the fuck is that Wanda?" you question,
"I had no idea he could do that" she says, you both watching from the sidelines,
"Okay, I better help" you side, you are about to fly up when Wanda sends a car right towards you, you dodge it narrowly,
"Sorry, I can't let you do that" she says, holding you in place with her powers,
"Not cool Wanda" you continue to watch on as Vision decides to laser a tower to fall onto Steve and Bucky, you warn Wanda and you both make your way over to them, you watch as the tower crashes down, and suddenly Wanda holds it up with her magic, you see War machine shoot a beam towards Wanda to stop her. You see grab the sides of her head in pain. The tower crashes and you don't know if Bucky and Steve made it. You start throwing fireballs at Rhodey to stop him from hurting Wanda,
"Hey Y/n, wrong side" he says as he dodges your attacks, you make your way over to Wanda, crouching down beside her to see if she is okay,
"Don't hurt her" you say to Rhodey, you run towards the hanger when you see T'Challa making his way through the rubble, you watch as Nat shoots him with one of her widow bites, she tells Steve to 'go', before she sees you standing, she continues to stop T'Challa to give Steve and Bucky time. The jet takes off and T'Challa doesn't make it on time to stop it from leaving.
When you leave the hanger you see Vision flying down to Wanda who is still on the ground, you make your way over on time to hear them apologise to each other, before Vision pipes up,
"It's as I said... catastrophe"
"Do you really think now is the time for I told you so?" you question him, you watch as Tony and Rhodey fly towards the jet, Rhodey asks for help, and Vision shoots a laser at Sam but it misses and it hits Rhodey, you watch as he falls to the ground, you look at Vision who isn't moving, you quickly spring into action to try and save him, using all of your remaining energy to get to him faster, but it wasn't quick enough, and you didn't catch him on time. You hear the thud as he hits the earth.
The next moments are a bit of a blur as everyone scrambles to get Rhodey to the Compound. The airport is swarmed by agents, you see them arrest Clint, Scott and Sam. You see Wanda try to run, but she is stopped by Vision. You go to run to her, but Nat grabs you by the arm.
"Let go" you say, looking down at her hand that is gripped tightly around your bicep,
"We can't help her if we get arrested too" you look over to Wanda, she is being cuffed by one of the agents, Nat brings you away from the scene. So far, the agents think we have helped Tony try to stop Cap and Bucky, so you both keep your heads down.
*
You make your way to the Compound where Rhodey is being treated. You and Nat are waiting in the meeting room, the mood is solemn as everyone waits to see what is wrong with him, Tony is in the lab as he gets tested, you are taken out of your thoughts by Nat,
"Why didn't you stop the jet?" Nat asks you,
"Why didn't you?" you say back, you both knew that Steve and Bucky were right, that they needed to go stop the super soldiers, that they were a bigger threat, she didn't question you further, you both sat in silence until you saw Tony. You made your way to his office, and stood on the balcony, he lets you both know Rhodey's diagnosis. You can cut the tension with a knife, you know Tony wanted someone to blame for his friend's almost death. It was only a matter of time before he shifted the blame. Nat tries to tell him that Steve won't stop, and if we don't that we will all end up like Rhodey.
"You let them go Nat"
"We played this wrong" Nat replied,
"Must be hard to shake the whole double agent thing" Tony retorts, you see Nat is slightly wounded by the comment,
"In fact, so much so that you actually influenced Y/n to switch sides"
"I can think for myself Tony"
"Yeah, well you thought yourself into becoming a fugitive"
"What?"
"T'Challa told Ross what you did, so they're coming for you" he says to both you and Nat, you look at him in disbelief, Nat grabs your arm and drags you away from him. You grab your stuff quickly and take off with Nat.
"Y/n we don't have time we need to go"
"You don't burn through all your clothes" you reply as you grab the last of your clothes. You escape through the escape hatch in Nat's room and take off.
