Chapter 18: Enough Loss to Go Around

I step into the street, helping the remaining traumatized passengers off of the train. I look around trying to find the Maximoff's, hoping they didn't run off. That's when I see the two, huddled together, Pietro panting and Wanda with a hand on his shoulder.

I walk over to them as Wanda speaks to him in a soothing tone, "Are you alright?" she asks.

Pietro takes a few heavy breaths before he responds and waves her away, "I'm fine. I just need to take a minute" he says.

"I'm very tempted not to give you one" Steve says sternly from his spot behind me.

I glance back at him and calm down from the slight startle that he gave me.

"The Cradle. Did you get it?" Wanda asks, her eyes filled with hope.

I look back at Steve and raise an eyebrow, if I haven't heard anything, neither has he. Steve looks towards me for support, then back at Wanda.

"Stark will take care of it" he lies.

No matter how much I care about Tony, I'm not that naive to think that Tony will dismember that thing. He'll use it for his own gain and after all that has happened, that's not exactly the best thing.

"No he won't" Wanda says with her voice shaky.

I glance down, not wanting to face her. Or Pietro.

"You don't know what you're talking about, Stark's not crazy" Steve says, trying to smooth over the conversation.

I shake my head and bite my lip knowing what a lie that is. I thought he said he doesn't lie?

"Steve you know what he's going to do with that cradle" I say.

"He will do anything to make things right" Wanda adds.

Steve turns away from us and presses a finger against his ear, "Stark, come in. Stark. Anyone on comms?" he says.

"He's not there Steve, we have to go" I say.

Wanda speaks again, this time her voice even more shaky than before, "Ultron can't tell the difference between ending the world and saving it...Where do you think he gets that from?"

I blink back tears, knowing that she's right, we created a monster. A monster that is planning on ending the human race.

"I didn't plan for him to be a monster" I confess with my back towards the twins, "I wanted him to make the world a better place, without war, without loss. I've had enough loss to understand that it's a bad thing"

I turn back around to face the twins with tears welling in my eyes.

Wanda gives me a sad smile and Pietro looks at me with pity.

"Then isn't this your chance to make things right? By stopping Stark, we're preventing another monster from being created. To stop the time loop" Pietro says, standing from his seat and walking close to me, inches apart.

I can't help but look into his eyes and get lost in them. They are so blue and beautiful and handsome and gorgeous and I sound like a crazy person.

Both Steve and Wanda clears their throats, signalling their discomfort with this situation.

"Shall we?" Steve asks.

With those words, Steve is calling us a jet and we're preparing to stop Tony. Even if it ends in a fight. Although I hope it doesn't, we're a team and I'm not interested in starting a civil war.

Now we got some more Civil War foreshadowing! You guys would not believe how many times I have watched that movie, I have it on DVD and anytime I'm not writing or reading or doing homework (ewwww), I'm watching that movie. I swear I've memorized every single line!! Then again I watched Age of Ultron so much I can actually quote every line, I could reenact it in my sleep. So enough about me, how was this chapter, I laugh every time I write a short chapter after a super long one, hope you guys enjoyed! VOTE, COMMENT AND SHARE, OH AND FOLLOW C'EST MOI!!! Thanks Lovelies!
