83. World
"Hey, guys, something..." Spider-man recognizes something crawling beside him. It grows and kicks his jaw to steal Steve's shield back.
"Whoa. What. What the hell was that?" Rhodey stammers as Scott joins Steve and I.
"I believe this is yours, Captain America." Steve hands the shield over quirkily.
"Move, Captain. I won't ask a second time." The prince in a cat suit threatens and I glare.
Steve fights hand to hand with T'Challa. And I notice War Machine locking on to Steve, "Not today!"
He holds a mace and I soar in the way of Steve's shield. While I'm getting hit Rhodey curses, "Shit I aimed wrong."
"No I did that purposely." I shake from the blast and slam a fist to the ground in pain as I seizure.
Lifting my fist with the little energy I have I shoot Rhodey with ice and his body freezes, "Dammit!"
"Deserved." I create a cloud to catch Rhodey from falling out of the sky but Steve kicks him down completely breaking his mace.
"Great." Rhodey snarls as he lays uncomfortably on the ground with ice shards everywhere while Steve slams a kick at T'Challa knocking him down.
Steve grasps my hand and lifts me to my feet, "You ok, Izzy?"
"Dandy." I smile thankfully.
"Hey, Cap, heads up!" Scott suddenly throws Steve a miniature truck, "Throw it at this. Now!"
Steve throws it and the truck enlarges, tumbling towards War Machine, "Oh, come on!"
The truck lands and explodes, "Oh, man. I thought it was a water truck. Uh... sorry."
We spot the Quinjet and slowly reunite with our group as Steve calls, "Come on!"
A stream of energy slices across the runway and we stop sprinting when Vision floats in, "Captain Rogers. I know you believe what you're doing is right. But for the collective good you must surrender now."
Sam whispers as Tony's team arrives, "What do we do, Cap?"
"We fight." Steve answers seriously and my stomach twists.
We stride forward symmetrically until we're fully sprinting at each other. I lunge myself up with my wind powers and exchange a glance with the rising Wanda. Fearfully we begin the battle. I send packs of wind toward the Spider-man who spins out of control for a bit until Wanda throws vehicles his way. He avoids them and I freeze some of his webs in order for him to get hit. Distracted I miss a car from behind me being lifted and I curse soaring low enough to see Clint and Nat battle.
As Nat's about to kick Clint's head, her foot stops and swings her away, "You were pulling your punches." Clint nods understandingly as I inform.
"And I thought you've grown up." Nat groans under her breath after slamming her head from the fall.
"I'm young at heart." I gesture Clint to move to the next person as I stride up to Nat.
"And you have a heart?" Nat paused to get up and I cracked my knuckles.
"You used to think I did." I glare playing with snow in my palms, "I don't see why that has to change now."
"Doesn't it?" Nat charges at me wrapping herself around myself. She twists and pulls me down with her legs around my neck and her body fully above my head. For a split second she's up but she pulls herself down and her leg wrap pulls me with her. I choke but I jab my elbow against her multiple times till she squeezes out. "Look I don't think things will change between us because of this."
"I agree." I huff a little as I stand to my feet, fists ready.
"But I do know if you're caught they will put you away for a very long time..." Nat tells, "And it just so happens my job is to defeat you in order to bring you back."
"So things are different already." I sneer aiming my palm at her while she aims her wrist at me.
"Don't make this difficult for yourself." Her wrists electrifies blue and I feel my palm cool. We send out our energies and I freeze Nat's electricity. It buzzes slower and slower till it dulls and I feel achieved. When she shoots again I freeze it immediately. We quicken our retaliation until she starts making her way closer to me angrily. I rush forward and grab her throat around my arm. Spinning around I have her hooked and I bring her head to my knee. She whines, "Dammit."
Using my other hand I rinse her head and she gargles until she's completely soaked head to toe. I freeze what I've created to create a clear still Nat statue laying on the floor, "Out cold!"
"We gotta go. That guy's probably in Siberia by now." Bucky tells between battle and I rush over to them to reunite.
"We gotta draw out the flyers. I'll take Vision. You get to the jet." Steve suggests.
"No, you get to the jet! Both of you." He gestures to Bucky and Steve as I jog up while he's being chased by War Machine.
"It would make the most sense." I encourage and Steve meets my gaze. Sorrow fills his features and a sad puppy dog pops to mind.
"The rest of us aren't getting out of here." Sam tells and I cringe at Steve's face.
Clint adds, "As much as I hate to admit it, if we're gonna win this one, some of us might have to lose it."
"It's alright, I'll meet up with you later." I assure smiley, "It's my job."
"This isn't the real fight, Steve." Sam reminds and Steve sighs.
Steve hesitates slightly, "Alright, Sam, what's the play?"
"We need a diversion, something big." Sam tells midst the chaos.
"Snow storm would be too big right?" I comment but Steve and Bucky exchange looks. We're hunched in odd places to hide. But while the others can't see us we three can see each other fine.
"I'd say that'd be perfect if it weren't for the fact we wanna be able to fly out of here." Sam argues nicely.
"I got something kind of big, but I can't hold it very long. On my signal, run like hell. And if I tear myself in half... don't come back for me." Scott dramatizes.
"He's gonna tear himself in half?" Bucky asks confused.
"You're sure about this, Scott?" Steve questions concerned.
"I do it all the time. I mean once... in a lab. Then I passed out." There's a pause. A long pause as Scott amps himself up. Until suddenly he grows and grows till he's as tall as the buildings surrounding us.
"Holy shit!" Spider man screams as Rhodey's being played with like a doll.
We stand in shock as Steve confirms, "I guess that's the signal."
"Way to go, Tic Tac!" Sam rejoices.
Scott sends War Machine flying and Peter catches him with a web. It's as if hells broken loose as everyone kicks and shoves each other in different places. Before the explosions Scott announces, "You wanna get to them... you gotta go through me."
"I'll block anything coming in, I got your back." I say as we're sprinting.
"You don't have to do this." Steve reminds as we run toward the jet.
"I'd do anything for you, Steve." I blush slightly as I add, "And my friends."
"Izzy you're the world and more." Steve grins as we get closer
"Something just flew in me!" Scott shouts after a lot of loudness and a beam shoots toward the tower in front of us.
I turn quickly on my feet, "Good luck guys." I encourage before slamming my hands against the ground. I scream as I use all my power to send a wall of thick ice up as high as possible. The beam barely creeps above it and slams past breaking part of the ice. It hits the building we're running toward and I release my palms from the floor. Red grabs the collapsing parts of the tower and I nod at Wanda who's struggling as well. I dart my flying body past Steve and Bucky. Wanda holds her head and screams when she's apparently been hit and I reach my arms out. The tower falls all around Steve and Bucky until I stretch my wind powers to grab the larger pieces tempting to smash my team. I weakly see Nat who watches me nervously, I know they'll be alright when she nods at me. When I see them get past I let them return to falling to prevent any other visitors. I squint my eyes as I'm drained, looking up to realize I've chosen the wrong place to rest. I see Nat blast T'Challa and I'm satisfied enough to smile as rubble hits every inch of me.
