Secrets of Iron

chases and traces (would be fun if you weren't the prize to win...)

“Pick up. Pick up. Pick up.” Emma had always been good at messing things up but this was definitely her new record. She was out of reach to call her dad over comms and he didn't pick up his phone.

Since the Avengers were after her she also couldn't just fly home and change. She should have thought this trough. Gladly the spotlights of the helicopters were blending them so they couldn't see where she was right now but the Quinjet took off. Why did she do things like this?

The radar of the jet would probably pick up her suits signals. She wanted to prevent that in her next update, because she hadn't had the time for it today. At least she had no school tomorrow.

The jet was now above the helicopters just like Emma. Shit. She tried to hide behind the helicopters put it seems like she had been right about the radar. But she also still was connected to their comms.

“I'm out of arrows and my back-up quiver is not here.”

“Got her on the radar.”

“Ok. Follow her. But not too obvious.” Follow her? Emma thought for a moment while Bucky activated the camouflage.

After a few seconds she flew away from the city gaining speed on her way. She could already see the forest Clint had crashed the van in. Continuing to fly straight she scanned for the best place to land. As she had found one she stopped hoovering in the air and looking around. The Avengers still thought she didn't knew where they were.

She looked around once more before she flew straight down. She didn't look for a place to hide. The heroes had to land if they wanted to catch her and they did. On a field next to the forest the jet got down. All of them got out and they went in teams into the forest. On the radar it had looked like Emma had crashed into the ground laying completely still on the ground.

After the ramp of the Quinjet closed Emma got up. Now they don't have the radar to help them find her and she was able to listen to their conversations over the comms. But it still were Avengers she had to be careful.

She was walking towards the place where the van had collided with the trees but it was difficult to walk around a forest without making any noises.

“She isn't where she landed. I'm gonna walk towards the crashed van.”

Great the one with probably the best look for details was right behind her.

“Buck. Got anything?”

“No.”

It seems like they were all walking towards the van except for Sam. He was not even in the forest. “

Sam you got her?”

“Yeah. We comin' in.” His dot reappeared on her map but he was not alone.

“Really guys? I pass for one mission and you lose her in the woods?” Black Widow. This is getting better and better...

Emma had finally reached the van but her happiness didn't last long as she saw light reflected by Bucky's metal arm. Throwing every caution overboard she ran to the edge of the forest and took off again.

“She flew up! Birdie!”

“Ha ha very funny. But I'm on it.” Out of the middle of the forest the Falcon flew up into the sky scanning for another flying hero.
