Lilliana: The Oldest Maximoff [Discontinued]

Bucky Pt.2

Bucky's landing is pretty rough. He barely completes the hurdle across. I, on the other hand, land swiftly with the boost from my super strength.

However, he doesn't waste any time. Barnes is quick with his returning urge to escape safely with his prized possession, his backpack.

I immediately race toward him.

"Quit following me-" he's cut off when he's tackled by an unknown figure is a sleek black suit. 

I'm pretty sure that whoever it is, they're supposed to be a panther or something?

'the black panther' I sense.

Wait, didn't Nat say that the Black Panther was from-

My thoughts are interrupted by the intense fighting occurring between the unusually strong men. I will say that the two are a pretty even match, there's no clear winner.

I charge to fight when my sixth sense kicks in once more, 'do not fight him, you'll regret it'

So, I remain still and watch from several feet away.

But.... if I don't do anything, Bucky could get hurt- not saying that he doesn't probably deserve it. It's just that Steve would be absolutely pissed if I let him get hurt... Ugh!

I wrestle inside, debating on the best choice to make.

I'll just fight him. It couldn't go that wrong, right?

So, I prepare to fight again, but as soon as I take that first step,

'do not do that; don't fight him!'

I find myself taking another step, just to double check.

'no! do not fight him!'

Fine!

The two continue their "battle". I can feel Steve's uneasy watch. He's watching from afar, most likely terrified, and finding that his current best friend is standing awkwardly watching his other best friend fighting an unknown figure. God! He's trusting me to look after Bucky, and I can't do that! I don't necessarily want to help the man that left me for dead, but I definitely don't want to let Steve down. 

"Sam, southwest rooftop," I hear Steve demand through my earpiece.

"Who the hell's the other guy?" Wilson asks replying.

"About to find out."

I turn just in time to find Cap launching himself out of a window, flying unbridled toward me.

"Steve!" I wail, getting out of his way, in the nick of time.

He charges, without question, toward the fight.

'helicopter'

"Steve, stop!" I call out, "you can't fight him!"

He ignores my pleas.

"I can sense it! We shouldn't fight him!" I attempt again, "... you'll regret doing it!"

It's no use, it's like I'm invisible!

Shots are soon being fired toward us from the military helicopter above. As I rush for cover I notice the bullets clanking off of the mysterious man's suit.

Who is this guy?!

"Sam," Steve calls. There's no need for continuation, we all know that Cap wants The Falcon to take out the helicopter.

"Got him," he replies swiftly taking the copter out of the air. Hopefully causing minimum damage to the officers inside.

My gaze returns to the fight. I spot Bucky reaching for his backpack and leaping off of the other side of the roof, momentarily escaping The Panther. The other three of us are sprinting after him.
