CHAPTER TWELVE

After dropping off Steve, Clint flew the Quinjet around to find Ultron. Evelyn sat next to Natasha in the quinjet and began to play tick-tack-toe to waste time.

"The real power is inside the Cradle. The gem, it's power is uncontainable. You can't just blow it up," Helen's voice sounded out over Steve's coms. "You have to get the Cradle to Stark."

"Did you guys copy that?" Steve asked

"Loud and clear," Evelyn told him.

"I got a private jet taking across town," Natasha said as she looked at her computer screen beside her. "No manifest. That could be him."

"There. It's a truck from the lab," Clint said. Evelyn looked out of the window and saw a large truck drive along the highway.

"Right above you, Steve. On the loop by the bridge," Evelyn said.

"It's them," Clint said as the Quinjet scanned the truck. "You got three with the Cradle, one in the cab. I could take out the driver."

"Negative. That truck crashes, the gem could level the city," Steve told them. "We need to draw out Ultron."

Evelyn watched from the Quinjet as Steve climbed onto the bridge. Then when the truck drove under the loop, he ran across the road and leapt down onto the truck. "Well, he's definitely unhappy. I'm gonna try and keep him that way."

"You're not a match for him, Cap," Clint said.

Evelyn slapped Clint's arm, "Shh, don't ruin his dreams."

"Thanks, Barton."

"So," Natasha drawled out. Evelyn turned and faced her. "Did you guys end out going dancing?"

Evelyn laughed at the memory. "We did for a night."

"What type of dancing?" Natasha asked.

Evelyn snickered, "Ballroom dancing."

"That would have been a sight to see," Natasha smirked.

"Oh god, he was terrible!" She laughed. "I think we'll just stick with the slow dancing."

"You know, I can hear you, Eve," Steve said.

"Ah, sorry, love," Evelyn apologised.

Steve sighed, "You're lucky I love you."

"Aww, that's goals," Natasha smiled. "Dibs being the Maid of Honor at your wedding."

"Well, about that," Evelyn drawled out.

She gasped. "No. You're choosing Maria over me? How could you? I thought we were friends!" Natasha crossed her arms over her chest and pouted.

"No, you ginger. I was going to ask you to be my Maid of Honor! Considering you are my best friend and one of the only girls I'm friends with," Evelyn said with a roll of her eyes.

"Really?" Natasha asked and Evelyn nodded. "Oh, my gosh! I love you so much!" She stood up and pulled her into a hug.

"Not as much as I love her," Steve panted out.

"Stop being so in love with Evelyn, Rogers. You're making the rest of us guys look bad," Clint told him.

Natasha scoffed, "Ha, he's been in love with her since they first met."

"Well, I am a pretty amazing person. It's hard not to fall in love with me," Evelyn told them.

"True," Natasha, Clint and Steve chorused, making Evelyn blush with a smile on her face.

From the Quinjet, Evelyn noticed Steve drop his shield onto the road. She let out a long sigh as Natasha opened up the motorbike. "Steve, stop dropping your shit. It's annoying cause I have to constantly pick it up your shit."

"Sorry, honey," Steve called out.

Natasha sat on the bike and Evelyn jumped on behind. "Don't squeeze too hard. I don't want broken ribs," Natasha told her.

"No promises," Evelyn mumbled. "Have your dreams been ruined yet, Rogers?" she asked Steve over the coms.

"Not quite. But I'm close," he grunted.

Evelyn snorted, "That's what she said."

"We got a window. Four, three...Give him hell." Clint pressed a button and the motorbike shot out of the Quinjet.

Natasha drove on the main road, swerving around the cars as she sped. "I hope we don't get a ticket!" Evelyn exclaimed.

"Chillax, this bike doesn't even have a number plate," Natasha told her.

"Then I don't hope the cops go after us!" Evelyn said.

"We'll be alright."

In the middle of the road, Evelyn saw Steve's shield. "We're always picking up after you boys," she said as she leant down to pick up the shield, then she slotted it onto her back.

"They're heading under the overpass. I've got no shot," Clint informed them.

"Which way?"

"Hard right....Now."

Natasha took a right turn, cutting off a few cars. She sped passed stores and restaurants, until popping out of the side streets to Steve and Ultron on the truck. Natasha skidded under the truck and popped out on the other side. Evelyn took the shield off of her back and aimed it up at Steve.

"Kobe!" She called out before flinging the shield at Steve who caught it and then proceeded to knock Ultron off of him.

Ultron used his blasts to pull the ground out in front of the motorbike. Natasha pulled the breaks fast, and Evelyn quickly jumped up onto the back of the motorbike before leaping onto the truck. Ultron turned to Evelyn and took a swing at her.

"How did it feel to witness you killing your parents, again?" He asked. Evelyn used her ice powers to freeze him to his spot and pulled on his arm, then flipped him over. "When you stabbed them. Repeatedly. Then crushed your mother's skull." Steve jumped onto the truck and used his shield to block Ultron's punch.

Clint then suddenly shot at the back of the truck and the mini Ultron's flew out to attack him. Evelyn kicked Ultron and he got knocked into a pillar, then he turned around and tried to charge at them when Steve turned him around and pushed him into a train. Evelyn stepped back and leapt towards the train, successfully landing onto the roof before sliding through a broken window.

Steve picked up his shield and threw it at Ultron. The people behind them squealed and Evelyn turned around to them. "다음 마차로 들어가서 들어 가자. 안전하지 않아," she told them. Go into the next carriage and lock yourselves in. It's not safe. They all quickly nodded their heads and ran into the next carriage. Evelyn turned around, just as Ultron punched Steve. He turned around quickly and grabbed Evelyn by the neck, lifting her into the air.

"You should join my cause, Evelyn. You would be a great asset," Ultron told her.

"Na, I'm good." Evelyn grabbed onto his hand with hers and twisted it over quickly. His metal arm twisted and Evelyn quickly pushed her foot against his shoulder while pulling on his arm. She let it a grunt before his arm came flying off and towards the back of the carriage.

Ultron recovered and stood up when something fast sped past them and knocked him over. Pietro stopped at the other end of the carriage. Ultron began to stalk towards Pietro when Wanda used her telekinesis to create barriers for her brother.

"Please, don't do this," Ultron told her.

"What choice do we have?" She asked him. Ultron turned around and fired at Pietro, but he sped out of the way. Instead, it hit the person driving the train and the controls. Ultron jumped out through a hole in the side of the train and flew away.

"We lost him!" Evelyn yelled in frustration as Steve and her made their way to the front of the train. "He's headed your way!" She told Clint.

Evelyn checked the driver's pulse, only to find that he didn't have one. She then looked ahead and saw the barrier the train was meant to stop at. The train crashed through it and raced downtown.

"Cap, you see Nat?" Clint asked.

"If you have the package, get it to Stark! Go!" Steve told him.

"Do you have eyes on Nat?"

"Go!" Steve ordered.

"Fucking Ultron got her," Evelyn mumbled as the train continued.

"Civilians in our path," Steve told Pietro, who sped off.

Evelyn groaned. "This is gonna be a real bitch on my back," she said, before stepping back a few metres and charging towards the front of the train, leaping out of the window. As soon as she landed onto the ground, she quickly spun around with her arms held out and caught the train. Evelyn let out a pained scream as she did her best to dig her feet into the ground. The train began to slow down, but as soon as Wanda used her magic to help stop the wheels, the train came to a complete stop. Evelyn let go of the train and collapsed onto the ground in exhaustion.

Evelyn took slow breaths to calm herself down with the adrenaline wearing off. Steve ran up to her and bent down to her level. "You're stupid," he said. "Unbelievably stupid."

"So I've been told," Evelyn breathed out. "Now help me stand." Evelyn held her hand out and Steve pulled her up. She then directed him to turn around. "Give me a piggyback ride, please."

Steve nodded with a small smile as he turned around and bent down. Evelyn slipped his shield off of his back and placed it on her own, before jumping onto his back and wrapping her arms around his neck with his hands instantly holding her thighs.

The two of them, meaning just Steve, walked to the twins who both looked exhausted. "I need a minute," Pietro told his sister.

"I'm very tempted not to give you one," Steve told them as Evelyn rested her chin on his shoulder.

"The cradle. Did you get it?" Wanda asked.

"Yep. Sure did," Evelyn mumbled as she closed her eyes.

"Stark's taking care of it," Steve told them.

"No, he won't," Wanda said.

"Look, I read about your files. I know one of Tony's bombs was used to blow up your home. I know you have some sort of vendetta against him," Evelyn told her.

"No, that's not what I mean," Wanda said. "He will do anything to make things right."

"Stark, come in," Steve said. "Stark. Jones." There was no answer. "Anyone on Comms?"

"Ultron can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it. Where do you think he gets that?" Wanda asked.

"Что мать засранец."
