I melt the metal door to the ground and hover above the floor, making my way down the hallway.
I knew that Jay and Pietro have been taken and Jay's and Pietro's variants have gone under cover as them. I'm furious, how did I not realise this? Why didn't I read there minds? I'm stupid.
I hover towards the elevator, pressing the button to go to the main level that the ballroom was on.
I hear footsteps behind me and fling my head around, way to quick. My neck cracks.
But to my surprise, I find Pietro and Jay standing behind me, wearing the variants costume. I still don't trust them, it could just be the variants tricks.
They walk towards me. Jay holds out her arm and places it on my shoulder, checking that I'm actually there.
A greasy look comes across my face, I feel like this isn't Jay and Pietro. "I need to check..." I say with an awkward tone.
Jay seems to understand why, I feel like she doesn't believe it's me too. I put my index fingers on her temples and close my eyes. I see her fighting with Pietro against the variants of themselves.
The elevator door opens and we step inside, Pietro presses the button to go to the main floor.
"Any luck fighting yourself?" Jay insists, trying to make conversation.
"Yeah, I think she's dead? I couldn't hear her heart beat" I continue the conversation, turning it back on Jay, "so you guys got locked in a room too?"
"Yep. Wasn't the comfiest" Pietro remarks.
"I got us out of there, he had no idea what he was doing" Jay smirks. She likes knowing she was the reason your safe. Sometimes she helps me on missions, in times where if she didn't help me I could be badly injured, or dead.
I glance at Pietro and he just ignores the comment.
The elevator door opens and I jog out, Jay and Pietro follow behind me.
"Who's that?" Pietro says looking at Jay, then myself, then back at Jay. We are all stopped now, around the corner is the ballroom.
I use my hearing powers to sense who's talking. "I am?" I say, tilting my head with confusion.
"Mara's variant" Jay says, frightened.
"For fuck sake" I lean against the wall. I close my eyes and check who's in the ballroom. I see Maddie, Maddie's variant and the variant of myself.
"Your right, and Mara's variant probably gave her the powers back" I say turning my attention to Jay.
I set myself on fire and turn around the corner, ready to fight. I'm guessing Jay and Pietro follow behind me, if they aren't then it still doesn't matter, I'll go on without them.
The variant of myself is leaning against the wall, observing the two Maddie's who are drawing knives out of their pockets.
"Do you ever die?" I say walking towards the variant of myself. She turns around to me, startled by the fact that I'm back.
"You can never trust Jay and Pietro" she says, unbothered by the fact that I'm completely on fire on that there are lava footsteps from where my feet have met the floor.
"Correction, you can never trust the variants of Jay and Pietro" I say as I turn to see Maddie, she has seem to noticed I'm there, but I'll let her fight herself. "I didn't realise I have a villain arc" I say sarcastically.
The variant of myself crosses her arms, she seems annoyed about my comment but tries to hide it.
"Me neither, who knew in the future you would destroy human kind" she shoots a smirk at me.
Jay stands beside me, Pietro following next to her. The variant of myself seems unbothered by Pietro and Jay being in her presence.
"Why would I destroy human kind?" I say, raising my eyebrows.
"Well. I am sorry to break it to you, and I know you have such a big ego so this is probably going to crush it, but you aren't the best. You don't save people. Most people are dead, some still on their way out. Slowly. Because of you and our friends. So I've come to kill you. To stop it all. And if I don't kill you, it will all go down hill. And you, Thor and Loki will piss off to Asgard and pretend it never happened. Because no matter who you think you are, at the end of the day your a coward. Sorry to smash your fragile heart" She rants, giving me no time to speak. I just stand there, silently.
"Going back in time doesn't change the future? You heard Bruce say that. They're making this all up. What do you want?" Pietro says, waving his arms around.
"She's right. It does change the future" While she was ranting, I read her mind. Every word that came out of her mouth was right.
Jay seems to know I've read her mind, because she tells Pietro to shut up.
"Plot twist!!" My variant starts laughing like a maniac, "Bruce is evil!" It takes a while for it to sink into all of us, all four of us are silent.
"What-" Maddie calls out, making her way towards us while she wipes blood off her knives.
