"Are you okay Mickey," Vision suddenly appeared beside the brunette who was watching from the roof of the airport, waiting until Steve and his company came bolting out. Her fingers were itching, and so she squeezed them just as she did her lips and kept from disappearing. She had to hold on, not for much longer but long enough to gain the advantage.

She didn't expect the newest edition to the avengers to come her way, as Vision was technically artificial intelligence who wasn't the quickest to pick up on things but she supposed he had learned a few items since the last time they'd seen one another.

She sent him a small smile, "I'm fine Viz, just a little worried."

"Yes, well Captain Rogers will have to answer for his actions, you made the fight decision Mickey, attempt to remember that if this comes to a fight." He tried to his best but consolation wasn't exactly something that could be taught.

Still she nodded her head and turned her head to see Tony and Peter approaching her, the formers iron man suit fully on.

"I have a special mission for you two," Tony nodded towards the teenagers.

She raised her one brow, "if its to clean your armor I will literally rip out the engine of that thing and shove you off the building."

Peter gawked on her bold response, nearly choking on his own spit when she followed it up with a sickly sweet smile. To him Tony Stark was an intimidating man and yet to this short brunette she talked to him about in the same manner she talked to everyone else, including him, like they were frenemies.

Tony's response was even more shocking as he sighed loudly, "oh what I would give to have at least one sentence without sarcasm dripping from it." He smiled then, much in the same manner Mickey did and Peter found it slightly eerie how similar their two fake grins were but focused on Mr. Starks voice. "I'd like it if you two managed to catch Bucky for me."

"Wow really," Peter said with enthusiasm.

"Wow, you really gonna throw Peter to the sharks liked that?" Mickey quipped back. Peter looked at her with slightly hurt and even Tony tilted his head as if to question why she had to say that to which she scoffed. "Oh come on, I've gone up against the guy before okay and even I know it's a lose lose situation."

"I can do it, Mr. Stark," Peter puffed his chest and made his voice a little deeper to which Mickey giggled.

"Sure, you can, with her help." Tony eyed the brunette female. "Mickey you're doing this."

She rolled her eyes and turned away as he and Vision walked off, leaving her only with Peter. Her head tilted in his direction as his body grew rigid the longer she stared until finally she spoke, "word of advice, Spidey, don't get in my way or his. Bucky can crush someone with the heel of his hand."

"Steve... you know what's about to happen. Do you really wanna punch your way out of this one?" Natasha's voice was low but it could be heard even from atop the building the two teenagers stood and anticipated the call for their action. Peter was pacing, silently hyping himself up while Mickey stayed silent and watched the beginning of the fight between friends.

"All right, I've run out of patience." Tony cuts in and immediately cups his mouth and yells out. "Underoos!"

"Oh crap, it's time!" Peter nervously states.

Miriam tilts her head in his direction. "What? How do you know?"

"It's uhh a call Mr. Stark and I planned out. Not important, do you want a lift or?" Peter quickly answers and adjusts his mask.

Mickey's heart spikes as she swallows nerves and shakes her head, standing on the ledge and opening a portal right below her feet. "No I've got it."

Peter nods his head and throws a web out, "right, see ya down there I guess. Let me know if you need any help."

Mickey breathes out hesitance and slight worry but shakes it aside as she realizes that Steve needed her now and whatever happened between her, Stark, Nat, or even Peter would have to be because at least her conscious would be clear.

He jumps off, using the web to swing and then flings out another web, this time aiming it at Steve's shield to which he manages to take off and flip around. He lands on some type of equipment, perfectly balanced he holds the shield. Tony claps his hands, "Nice job, kid."

"Thanks. Well, I could've stuck the landing a little better. It's just the new suit... Well, it's nothing, Mr. Stark. It's-It's perfect. Thank you." Peter rambles as team Rogers is slightly in shock at the kids ability.

Mickey scoffs and rolls her eyes at Peter's newbie mannerism but jumps right into the portal that drops her directly beside Peter. Her landing is perfect and she crosses her arms, tilting her head and smirking. "Captain Underpants, missed me?"

She's nailed more then just the landing as even Steve acts perfectly, eyes widening just a tad before looking to Tony. "You brought her in on this too? Tony, to what end?"

"Sorry about this, Steve, he offered me a get out deal. You know I can't refuse that." Mickey said to sell it a bit more.

Peter decided to chime in then. "Hey, everyone."

"You've been busy." Steve remarked as his eyes took in the new kid.

Tony seemed fed up at this point. "And you've been a complete idiot. Dragging in Clint. 'Rescuing' Wanda from a place she doesn't even want to leave, a safe place. I'm trying to keep... I'm trying to keep you from tearing the Avengers apart."

"You did that when you signed." Steve retorted and it take all of mickeys will not to fist pump as the Cap spoke everything she felt. Truly, she knew Tony thought in his mind that the correct thing was on his side but she was baffled that a man of his intelligence could even back someone like General Ross.

And it seemed that Tony had felt the burn as his face grew angrier and he cut the small talk. "Alright, We're done. You're gonna turn Barnes over, you're gonna come with us. NOW! Because it's us! Or a squad of J-SOC guys... with no compunction about being impolite."

Steve raises his arm as his face goes blank and mickey bounces on the balls of her feet as she anticipates the right moment. An arrow goes through the air, breaking Peter's web and ending any talk. "Alright, Lang."

"Hey, guys, something..." Peter begins to warn but suddenly from above mickeys head someone flips off, slowly becoming bigger and bigger until they land shield in hand and run towards Steve

"Whoa. What-What the hell was that?l" Rhodey hell's in confusion.

The new guy hands the shield to Steve and speaks, "I believe this is yours, Captain America."

"Well I'll be damned, captain underpants is crafty." Mickey compliments and bites back a smile as she feels proud that her real team has just outsmarted the fake one, and the fighting hasn't begun.

"Oh, great. Alright, there's two on the parking deck. One of them's Maximoff, I'm gonna grab her. Rhodey, you want to take Cap?" Tony flys off.

"Got two in the terminal, Wilson and Barnes." Rhodes calls out into the small speaker and Mickey all but rolls her eyes as she knows where to go.

"Barnes is mine!" King T'Challa yells out and begins to run off as the rest of the team pairs up with their most appropriate competitor, personally Mickey knows where she's headed and this time she needs a rider

"Where are we going?" Peter questions Mickey as the brunette has taken to looking directly at him. She shrugs her shoulders, hoping he catches on soon. "Hey, Mr. Stark, what should I do?"

Tony's quick response seems to do it. "What we discussed. Web 'em up. Stay with Mickey."

"Okay, copy that!" Is his chipper response.

"God, Bucky is gonna crush you." Mickey mutters and lifts her hand out. "Come on, I need a ride."

"I thought you could portal hop?" He rebutted, ignoring her mean comment.

"I can't when I don't know where I'm going." She honestly answers and impatiently waves her hand. "So are we going or do you want to keep staring at me?"

"I—uh," Peter stutters but realizes quickly that this is not the moment for polite and private conversation and even though Mickey makes him feel like they're the only two in the airport by the calm look on her face the sounds of shots and fists being thrown brings him back to reality. He takes her hand and lifts her clear off the ground, her small height is nothing compared to the strength in his bones as she adjusts to locking her legs around his hips and arms around his torso.

Mickey fingers clamp down on his muscled skin, realizing the baggy clothes hid quite a body underneath. Peter did more then just hide his identity, he was another person under his clothes and the only time he truly showed it off was when he was Spider-Man. She could see now how confident he was, he didn't so much as flinch when she looped her arms around his neck and pressed her face to his shoulder.

"Ready?" Peter questioned after a brief moment in which she had been stuck in her own world and thinking new appreciation for this new teenage boy.

She breathed and nodded her head, "ready."

And Peter was off, webbing the edge of one of the buildings and flying through the air, not once acting like he had another human body on his back as swung across the lot and into the building where Sam and Bucky were. Mickey knew she needed to get in their before he did, to at the very least warn them so she decided now was the time to unlatch as Peter stuck to the side of the building.

"I'll cut them off," she muttered and released, unlocking her hold and falling directly into a portal underneath them, finding herself inside within seconds.

She landed on the balls of her feet and cut Sam and Nicky's run short.

"Mickey!" Bucky surprised voice called out her name.

She silenced him with a glare, "not now, cutie. I don't have much time to explain but basically I've got a partner who's part spider, don't ask, and I've got to pretend to kick your asses."

"Think now is about time you switch teams," Sam responded.

"Yeah you may be right," She nodded her head but flicked her fingers, and smiled apologetically, "sorry about this Sam."

A portal opened underneath his feet and he was gone, flown about a 100 yards away from them into the nearest trash can. A groan escaped his lips very loudly, Bucky's confused look was followed by a wince as his eyes travelled back to the brunette who was bawling her fist and aiming at his head. "What are you doing?" He smoothly dodges her throw.

"I need to make it look real," she muttered back and kicked out her leg, intentionally dodging but Bucky was faster then she anticipated. She continued to kick and throw into the air, eventually landing a few shots which she was quite proud of. "Throw me!"

"What!" Bucky whispered fiercely.

"Throw me, make it look real! Come on I promise I won't hold it against you at our wedding." She urges him and throws out her leg, this time he catches it. Bucky's blue eyes seemed to tighten, as of to question if this is really what she wanted and when she huffs and slightly nods he lifts her off the ground and throws her hard.

She's tossed like a rag doll against one of the walls thankfully and while her back aches from the roughness she's happy it's not a window. Bucky, thankfully, has decided to head her warning and runs now followed by Sam who's managed to recover from his own drop.

Glass breaks from not that far away and in flys Peter, webbing the ceiling as he swings and uses his feet to kick Sam away. He's then on his feet and stopping Bucky's incoming punch with one hand, surprising not only the former soldier but also Mickey who stops long enough to gape.

Spider-Man indeed, she thinks with an impressive gaze and her attraction grows slightly.

"You have a metal arm? That is awesome, dude!" Peter yells like the excited teenager he is, distracting himself from Sam who flys in and swings him away from Bucky. Peter is stealthy, using his senses to gain the advantage as he fends off Sam long enough to slide onto his back. "You have the right to remain silent!"

Mickey rolls her eyes, still a kid at heart, she supposed but decides she's rested long enough.

Bucky is on the move again, and she realizes maybe playing enemy a little longer won't hurt.

"Mickey!" Peter yells at the top of his lungs as he holds onto the scaffolding's of the ceiling. "You alright?"

"Fine!" She grunts back, slightly annoyed at the concern in his voice. "I've got the big guy!"

Bucky throws something directly at peter in this moment, aiming at his head and it misses him by inches.

Mickey slightly holds her breath in fear that Peter's stupidity would get him seriously injured.

Without hesitation she drops another portal, this time it extends to a few paces ahead of Bucky and she turns back long enough to smirk at him before snapping her fingers and dropping him into a portal.

The portal leads directly ahead of her, not far off from stairs and she kicks her foot out, snaking it around his shoulders and over his neck so she's lifted off the ground and head locking him to her. Bucky is slightly confused by this as she wrestled with him and grunts. "Could you maybe try not to kill Peter? He's new to this okay?"

Mickey suddenly throws her weight back so they're off balance and landing against the ground. Her head thuds once more harshly and she grunts at the pain, wondering if this is enough to warrant a visit to a doctor afterwards. Bucky coughs out loud and says, "I thought you were on our side?"

She swats at his hands and releases slightly enough so to let Bucky out of her grip and him to flip over. "I am! Just don't hurt him! And keep fighting me!"

The super soldier lifts his fist and slams it forward, slow enough to where she can duck and elbow him in the side. Bucky protests at her blow and she uses this to kick him off, this time standing over him.

"Sam!" Bucky yells when he turns his head to see that Peter has webbed Sam to the opposite end of the stairs.

"Shit!" Mickey curses, realizing that it's now or never. "Throw me off!"

Bucky is already ahead of her as he knees her and sends her rolling back against the the ground. He stands and runs between Sam and an incoming Peter who throws them both down into the second floor.

Mickey uses the heels of her hands to lift herself as she reels in pain and opens her eyes to see Peter standing on the rail with his back to her. She grunts listening to peter explain his predicament.

"Guys, look. I'd love to keep this up but I've only got one job here today and I gotta impress Mr. Stark, so, lm really sorry."

"Idiots," she huffs lowly as she stands to her feet and realizes that taking out peter was now or never. Suddenly she feels the amount of sleep she's been deprived of and her mood drops to annoyance, ready to be done with everything. Her arms lifts and she snaps her fingers, opening a portal underneath peter as she runs up and slams him into it. Peter yells out loud, not having expected this and falls without balance. He attempts to reach out and web anything but fails as Mickey puts him through a number of portal, throwing off any chance as saving himself until he finally drops harshly onto the ground and groans out.

"You couldn't have done that earlier?" Bucky yells from below.

"I hate you!" Sam grunts at him, protesting in pain.

Mickey opens another portal and drops into it, landing between a injured Peter and the duo.

"Time to go, we've got to get on the jet." She mutters to the two as the stand and lift.

Her hand reaches up and catches the earpiece Sam throws at her, exchanging it out for the one Tony had earlier handed her. She drops it to the ground and crushes it with the bottom of her boot, sighing in relief as her secret is revealed.

"Mr. Stark! We've got a problem." Peter groans loudly, but is cut off as Mickey walks over and bends down.

She smiles at him softly, "guess your spider senses were right."

"You were on there side all along?" He groans, lifting himself up to a sitting position.

"Don't take it personal, Steve's got a point and I'm not one for rules. You're cute Peter and in any other situation I would have loved to be partners but my dad's waiting for me. Take care, don't get in the way." She explains, noticing how his hand inches closer to webbing her.

"Redwings incoming." Sam whispers into her earpiece. 

"Mr. Stark took care on you!" He groans.

She grits her teeth, leaning forward and kissing his cheeks with a softness that leaves Peter confused, his breathing halts as she leans near his ear and whispers, "I take care of myself."

And she phases back, allowing redwing to flow through and catch his hand flying him away, distracting the Spider-Man long enough for the trio to go.

She stands and jogs, nodding her head to Bucky and Sam. "Let's go help the others."

And she's flipped to the dark side! Tony is not gonna be happy about this.
