── CIVIL WAR ──

── ☆ ──

Alessia opened her eyes slowly as the bright light blinded her, letting out a slow breath she made an attempt to move but the arm around her waist only tightened as a warm breath rested on the back of her neck. She looked around the dirty motel room that they were currently hiding in, Steve decided it was best if they hid for a night while Clint got Wanda and Scott Lang, an old friend of Sam's apparently.

Today we were gonna make a move to Siberia to stop the fake psychologist from bringing Hydra's elite death squad back from their comatose states, which made Bucky and Alessia feel very uneasy about this situation. "Stop moving," Buckys' husky morning voice played like a melody in her ear making her body involuntarily shiver.

She moved her head to look around the room, spotting Steve and Sam talking outside the room. "We gotta get ready Bucky," He let out an annoyed sigh before getting up. Alessia went into the bathroom, getting into the damaged shower that only shot out cold water, not that it was new for her. Once she got out, She quickly got changed into her uniform, once again grateful for the tight-fitting purple design.

Alessia slipped on some loose-fitting jeans and a baggy sweater before brushing through her hair and deciding on a fishtail braid to get it out of her face. She looked up at her reflection in the slightly warped mirror, taking in a slow breath as memories about the elite squad's files hit her. She was itching to call Marcus and the others but she knew how bad of an idea that is.

Alessia walked out into the room where Bucky waited for her, "You look beautiful, Doll." Alessia smiled up at him as he pulled her close, lightly pressing his lips to hers. She pushed against him and smiled in the kiss as his hands tightened on her waist, he pulled away resting his forehead against hers, "When this is over, I say we settle down together." She nodded slightly as her chest warmed at the idea. They walked outside and spotted the yellow buggy that Steve had 'temporary misappropriated' as he so kindly stated.

Bucky and Alessia climbed into the back of the buggy, Steve and Sam were seated in the front. "Alright, Sharon is gonna meet us so we can take back our belongings," Steve informed them. Alessia couldn't help but smirk to which Steve spotted, "Don't start Ales." Alessia giggled to herself before placing her hand onto his shoulder, "Stevie, don't miss an opportunity or I'll have you de-balled."

All three boys looked at her with pained expressions making her laugh, "Start driving star-spangled man with a plan." He scoffed at her before starting up the car and driving in the direction of what she assumed would be an underground area hidden area from everyone.

Buckys' hand interlocked with Alessia's once they pulled up to Sharon's car, she leaned her head onto his shoulder as Steve got out and walked over to Sharon. "Do you think we'll be able to stop Hydra's Elite Death Squad?" Sam turned to look at Alessia then Bucky. "I'm sure we can take them down as a team," Alessia smiled at Sam's optimism but Bucky and Alessia knew that it wasn't gonna be that simple.

Sam turned back to Steve while Bucky attempted to move, "Can you move your seat up?" Sam smirked slightly, "No." Alessia shook her head at the two childish men before moving over so Bucky could move over as well. They all turned our attention to Steve who was leaning in to kiss Sharon, a smile appearing on Alessia's face. He finished talking to her and turned to look at the car, the three remaining adults smirking at him making him shake his head.

Steve put their belongings into the back of the buggy before climbing back into the driver seat, "Not a word." They couldn't help but chuckle. Alessia patted Steve's shoulder, "I'm proud of you brother." He smiled at her before she snuggled into Bucky's arms. She closed her eyes allowing herself to enjoy the moment of quiet that they have.

They pulled into the underground parking garage, Bucky lightly shook Alessia causing her to open her eyes and look up at him. She gave him a small smile before climbing out of the car, leaving Bucky leaning against it to approach Clint, "Hey Spyro..." She smiled at him as he pulled me into a tight hug. "Good to see you, Clint," He pulled away and smiled before continuing his conversation with Steve.

Alessia walked up to Wanda and pulled her into an instant hug, "How are you?" Alessia heard her let out a shaky breath before pulling away, "Getting by on a daily basis." Alessia gave her a small smile before brushing her hair out of her face, "Do what you believe will make him proud." She nodded with a smile before approaching Steve and Clint.

Alessia made her way over to Bucky, he wrapped an arm around her waist and held her close to him. "After all of this, you and I should take a long vacation." Alessia smiled at Bucky's words and nodded before leaning up to swiftly kiss him. She pulled away just as an announcement sounded over the PA system, Steve turning to Alessia and Bucky for translation. "They're evacuating the airport."

Steve let out a breath, "Stark." Alessia knew he wouldn't give up on this and she can't shake the bad feeling that stirred up in her stomach. She can feel her hands getting shaky from anxiety and adrenaline as Steve explains the plan, while he distracts Tony making him believe they are going for a Helicopter, Clint and Wanda scope out their Quinjet.

Then Bucky and Sam are to get to the Quinjet, whereas she was to sneak past everyone and get to the Quinjet alone, hopefully, everyone makes it out. They all got into their positions and waited for their separate signals, from where she was she could see Tony, Rhodey, Nat and someone in a red suit.

Alessia took a deep breath and focused on the path she was going to take, she hated leaving them all to fight but she had to sneak her way to the Quinjet because if all else fails, someone has to get to Siberia and stop Zemo from waking up Hydra's Elite Death Squad. And who better than a powered-up super soldier like Alessia Elizabeth Hart aka Spyro aka The Wraith.

Alessia's anxiety spiked up as Clint called the location of the Quinjet, she instantly started making her way over to it as they all began their little civil war. She kept taking deep breaths focusing on the task at hand as a panic attack threatened to take over her, something she hasn't had since she was just a kid.

She could hear the different callouts but what startled her was Tony landing in front of her, "Why are you doing this Spyro?" She could see the pain in his eyes, he didn't want this. She's always admired one thing about Tony Stark and that's the importance of family to him, the importance of the fight being over so his makeshift family is safe and can live their own lives.

Alessia stood up straight and let out a shaky breath, her hands still shaking as she ready herself to fight against Tony, "You don't understand the full story, Tony." His watery eyes bore into Alessia's, "I love him Stark, that'll never change." He shook his head, "There's another way Alessia." She closed her eyes knowing how much she was gonna regret her next move.

"I wish there was," Alessia opened her eyes as the yellowish blue tinge filled her vision, Tony's suit mask appeared and she pushed all of her energy to her hands before forcing it into an energy ball and throwing it towards him sending him flying back. She took that opportunity to start running towards the Quinjet, her cover was compromised so there was no point in sneaking.

Alessia got about halfway when she was hit with a widow bite, quickly absorbing the energy from it, she turned to see Natasha standing there with a hesitant look in her eyes, something you wouldn't notice unless you knew the woman. "Don't make me do this Nat," She went to speak when Alessia heard metal hit the ground behind her.

"Deal with Clint, Nat," Tony ordered as Alessia turned to see Tony standing there, "You can stop this Alessia, we can all walk away." She scoffed, "You mean, everyone except the innocent man you are threatening to lock away. THE MAN I LOVE!" Alessia shouted as energy coursed through her veins, she could see her reflection in his armour.

Her entire body was engulfed in some form of energy that swayed like fire as she lifted slightly off the ground, much like Wanda's power. Tony look down before looking back at her, "Alessia, please." She knew why he was begging her now, Steve wouldn't back down. It was his best friend, his brother, a man from his time.

Alessia was just a girl stolen from her parents, tormented and controlled for years. She was a girl who fell in love with a damaged man whose biggest fear is himself. A man who blamed himself for every death, ready to take all of the responsibility for all of it. She wasn't gonna let him blame himself, it wasn't his fault, it wasn't his choice.

"I'm sorry Tony, but I'll always choose him." She let a tear fall from her eye before throwing balls of strong energy at Tony, him dodging them to the best of his ability. She dropped down to the ground and began throwing punches into his armour, her ability forming energy gloves over her hands to protect them from damage.

Alessia managed to fight Tony off long enough for Scott aka Ant-Man to create a distraction that resulted in him becoming a literal giant. Tony and Rhodey turned their attention to the newly discovered 'potential' avenger, which allowed Steve and Bucky to start running towards the Quinjet. Alessia looked at Bucky as he motioned for her to follow, she got about halfway before she was stopped by vision.

"Alessia, I must recommend for you to rethink these choices," Vision spoke as Alessia stopped and looked up at him, her energy still coursing around her like a protective shield of armour. "Your power is must stronger than Wanda's, you are a danger to those around you with your lack of control." Alessia scoffed at him, "I have control, you're just trying to freak me out."

Vision just stared at Alessia. "I have control over my power, but tell me Vision," Alessia began as his eyes bore into hers, "Do you have control over your power?" Alessia raised her hand slightly causing Vision to cup his head with his hands as he kneeled down to the ground, "I guess I have more power than we realise." As she went to put more force hoping to knock him out, she heard the familiar sound of Tony's suit hitting the ground. "I'm sorry about this Alessia," And then everything went black.
