─ BREATHTAKING VIEWS ─

── ☆ ──

Alessia stood there in the lab with Pietro and Wanda, debating whether or not she wanted to hit them or hug them. The being that Ultron was creating was now talking with Thor, Tony, Steve and Bruce while Clint and Bucky were watching the encounter.

They went through all so much trouble to get the crater away from Ultron only for Thor to bring it to life after Wanda had messed with everyone's minds, except for Clint and Alessia. Which was a good thing as Alessia was able to keep Hulk at bay saving the city from being torn apart, of course, the mild destruction still lead to the Avengers having to go to Clints' home for safety.

"I don't want to kill Ultron. He's unique, and he's in pain," The vision spoke willfully while looking around at everyone, "But that pain will roll over the earth, so he must be destroyed." The pain in his voice was strong, "Every form he's built, every trace of his presence on the net, we have to act now." Alessia stepped forward as he floated down.

He sighed, "Maybe I am a monster. I don't think I'd know if I were one. I'm not what you are, and not what you intended. So there may be no way to make you trust me. But we need to go." Everyone watched in shock as he held Thors' hammer out to the startled god.

"Well, I'd say that he is trustworthy. What about you guys?" Alessia spoke up as she smiled kindly at the being as he walked away. "Spyro has a point, let's suit up before she kills me," Tony spoke before walking out of the room leaving Alessia smirking proudly. "You heard him!" Alessia shrugged before kissing Bucky's cheek and heading out of the room.

They began suiting up and getting ready for the mission to take down Ultron. "Ales?" Alessia turned to Bucky as he stood in the doorway of her room. "What's up, Bucky?" He walked over, placing his hands on either side of her waist. "Be careful out there," Alessia leaned up and kissed him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

They pulled away, "We'll both be safe out there." He nodded before interlocking their hands and heading downstairs to the others. They made their way out to the Quinjet where Steve explained the plan to everyone, Pietro had raced into the police station to get them to help with the evacuation while Wanda used her abilities to make everyone leave.

Bruce was in charge of locating Nat and getting her and himself out of harm's way to prevent another tantrum by the Hulk. Tony was to keep Ultron distracted considering Ultron hated him the most while Vision was to shut Ultron out of the online web lowering his power over us.

Bucky, Steve, Thor and Alessia took the opportunity to help evacuate the Sokovian city in hopes to limit any causalities. It wasn't long until everything got a thousand times worse, "Tony, what's happening?" Alessia questioned through the comms. "We are being lifted into the sky, Ultron's turned this city into a world-ending asteroid," Tony quickly responded.

A yellow tinge outlined Alessia's vision as her power coursed through her veins, she turned to the oncoming robots. She was beyond angry with how things have changed since the Chitauri attack on New York, she knew something more was coming their way. She began pushing all of her power towards them, blowing them up as everyone continued getting people to safety.

Steve's voice echoed through the comms, "Stark, you worry about bringing the city back down safely. The rest of us have one job: tear these things apart. You get hurt, hurt 'em back. You get killed, walk it off." Alessia shook her head before responding, "We're all bloody inspired!" Alessia sighed as she processed Steve's encouraging words... or so they would seem.

Alessia continued tearing the endless robots apart as she made her way from one side of the floating city to the other. Pietro raced past saving her from a few sneaking up on her, "Thanks, Pietro." He nodded as he took a deep breath as Alessia spoke, "Are you good?" He smiled with a small nod before running off towards a group of robots.

Tony's direct comm caught her attention as she dodged a hit from a robot, "Got bad news Spyro, the anti-gravs are rigged to flip. If we mess with them, they'll go full reverse." Alessia let out a huff of annoyance, "So what is the plan to resolve that?" Alessia took out a few more robots as she made her way towards Clint and the Maximoff twins.

Alessia took in a few deep breaths as Tony answered her, "If I get Thor to hit it, despite the impact still being devasting, we cap the other end and keep the atomic action doubling back." Alessia nodded slightly as Clint watched her closely, "So essentially, you mean vaporize the city before it hits the ground." Clints' face paled at her words, she tried to send him a reassuring smile.

"What about the people in the damn city?" Alessia asked. Tony was quiet for a moment, "Let me talk to Cap." Alessia turned to Clint with a nod before they made their way towards the others, taking out every robot in the way. Alessia got to Nat and Steve who were standing by the edge of the flying city, "Cap, these people are going nowhere. If Stark finds a way to blow this rock..."

Alessia nodded in agreement with Nat, it was either everyone on the rock or thousands more. "Not 'til everyone's safe," And the righteous man speaks. "Stevie, she has a point,"Alessia spoke softly before he looked at her with a pained expression. "We can't always save everyone," Nat nodded. "Everyone up here versus everyone down there? There's no math there," And she was right about that.

Steve sighed turning to the two women, "I'm not leaving this rock with one civilian on it." He turned towards the view from the flying city. "I didn't say we should leave." Steve and Alessi turned to Nat as she spoke, "There are worse ways to go. Where else am I gonna get a view like this?" Alessia smiled as Nat said that, Bucky walked up beside Alessia, interlocking their hands.

"Glad you like the view, Romanoff. It's about to get better." Suddenly, the Helicarrier appeared in front of them making us all cheer in celebration. "Nice, right? I pulled her out of mothballs with a couple of old friends. She's dusty, but she'll do." Alessia laughed as Fury spoke, a new form of confidence and fight refuelled her mind.

Alessia turned to Steve with a smile as he spoke, "Fury, You son of a bitch." Alessia giggled as he smiled widely. "Ooooh! You kiss your mother with that mouth?" Fury answer as Alessia turned to Nat, "So when he swears it's okay but if we do, he tells us off? Man, he is old." Alessia smirked at Steve as he poked his tongue out at her playfully.

The battle continued as they took on more of the robots, War Machine aka Rhodey joining in the battle being outshone by Vision. Alessia focused on sticking near the twins knowing this was all new to them and she wanted to make sure they were unharmed, she couldn't bear to lose anyone in this mess.

They started leading people onto the lifeboats as quickly and efficiently as they could, ensuring no one was left behind. "Avengers, time to work for a living!" Tony's voice boomed through Alessia comms as they made their way to the central church. "Isn't that what we've been doing?" Alessia questioned playfully getting a smirk in response before Stark spoke, "This is the drill. If Ultron gets a hand on the core, we lose."

They all surrounded the core protectively as they battled and destroyed waves of robots, Alessia power seemed to build causing a huge surge of power to destroy an entire wave of robots. "Talk about powerful," Nat said as Alessia looked at her, shrugging her shoulders before turning back to the oncoming waves of robots.

The robots began retreating as they split up to finish with the evacuation, "You are the one they call the Wraith. I'm impressed with your lack of realism." A form of Ultron stood before her. Alessia looked up at it with a slight smirk, "What can I say? Reality sucks!" Alessia blasted the robot before her causing it to melt and fall apart before she walked off.

Alessia watched as Clint jogged over to a young boy, quickly catching the sight of a quinjet heading towards him with a spray of bullets. As she went to protect them, she felt a slight breeze, then suddenly Pietro was standing there with multiple bullet holes. An overpowering wave of power coursed through Alessia causing strings of power to hit every robot it possibly could.

Alessia felt her energy fading as someone wrapped their arms around her. "Alessia isn't gonna be able to help anymore," Bucky's voice caught her attention causing her to turn to him. He was now carrying her bridal style. Tony spoke through the comms in response to Bucky, "That's fine Barnes, get off the damn city." Alessia smiled sadly at Bucky as tears formed in her eyes.

Once they were on the lifeboat, Alessia let out a quiet sob as the image of Pietro flashed across her mind. It hurt knowing that Wanda would be in so much pain right now, she'd lost everything, she lost her other half. Alessia eyes began to droop and she let her body give in to the exhaustion she felt in the safety of Bucky's embrace as tears left her eyes.
