We Are Titans

Chapter 11- Stuck

Trigger Warning: Violence

On the quinjet I sit in the pilot seat with Elijah on co-pilot.

I wait until we are proper flying altitude before switching with Elijah. "AJ come here." He walks over and I give him my seat showing him how to work the controls before walking away. 

I sit next to Wanda letting her rest her head on my shoulder. "Tell me about Pietro." She smiles "He was funny and kind. He would do anything to make someone smile, even a stranger... He used to steal crunch chocolate bars from American soldiers roaming the street.. I don't think I've had any since he died actually." I smile letting her continue "We used to fantasize about what it would be like to like in America. He would make up scenarios in his head where he was rich and he would give chocolates to all the little boys and girls in Sokovia. He always promised to take me to the tallest ferris wheel so that we could see all of New York when we got to the top. We never got to." 

"We're 15 minutes out guys." I stand up adjusting my suit. "Avengers this is Chaos. Do you copy?" Mere seconds pass before I get a response from Rhodie "10-4 Chaos, this is Eagle we read you loud and clear." Then Steve "Copy that, Chaos, Eagle, this is Boomer we hear you." He doesn't realize that the name I gave his team is because he's old and that makes it 10 times better. "Thunder do you copy?" Clint answers "10-4 Chaos, still mad that you let Thor choose our codename." I laugh before continuing "Alpha, Beta, do you read me."... "This is Agent Johnson, Alpha reads you loud and clear." "Copy, Beta has you too." I sigh and continue "We're a little less than 15 minutes out from the jump point. Prepare yourself, we infiltrate the second we land." I switch off my comms. "Jarvis take control of the plane." the plane steadies itself out before Elijah lets go of the yoke. We prepare our gear and move to the center of the jet. "Three minutes guys." Elijah straps on a pair of boosters that Tony gave him for his boots. AJ puts on a pair of goggles, and I position my shield on my arm so that it doesn't fall of when I'm in the air. I open the bay doors of the jet and walk back to Wanda "Do you trust me?" she nods and I grab her hand pulling her to the bay doors. I move in front of her pulling her arms around my chest. "Grab on tight." She tightens her grip and adjusts her legs. I look over to AJ and Elijah and we all nod before simultaneously jumping out of the jet. I switch my comms back on "Avengers. Chaos is infiltrating." 

I land one knee on the ground next to my shield. Wanda slides off and runs to the side to throw up. She walks over to me wiping her mouth "I'm fine." I laugh and give her one last kiss, I don't care about the vomit breath "I love you Princess. See you on the flip side." she smiles "I love you. Now go kick some ass." I look at AJ and nod. He blasts the doors melting them before he and Elijah kick them in. They walk in positioning themselves in front of the door. I look back at Wanda "We do this for Pietro." she nods and we make our way in.

We've taken down at least 20 agents by now as we walk down the hallway to get to the office. AJ and Elijah take down the guards positioned at the door letting me take the lead into the office. I kick the door in and block the incoming bullets. They ricochet off my shield taking out the agents that shot them. I lower my shield and look over to Wanda who shakes her head at me with pursed lips "What they did it to themselves." We look around checking inside of every door in the office. "Damn it! He's not here." I turn to face Wanda and speak into my comms "Does anyone have eyes on Strucker?" everyone replies with a no. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" I'm stuck at the sound of the voice. Grant. I turn moving Wanda behind me. Elijah moves over to me unzipping my suit. "Do it." He rips the katana off my back and moves to let AJ zip it back up. I move Wanda further behind me. "Oh relax I'm not gonna hurt your little girlfriend." I speak to AJ without taking my eyes off of Grant "AJ get her out of here." He replies quickly "Where do I take her?" I get frustrated "I don't care AJ! Just get on the jet and get the hell away from here." Wanda replies to that "I'm not going anywhere without you." I take a deep breath. "Wanda. Go." she huffs hearing me say her name. AJ escorts her out the room "Elijah guard the door while I deal with Ward." He nods and walks out closing the door behind him.
