Olivia stormed out of the lab and barged past everyone in sight, including Peter and Natasha. Natasha looked back at her girlfriend, and began to follow after her. Not calling her name until they reached the training room and Olivia started beating the shit out of a punch bag.
"Hey, hey hey..." Natasha said, pulling Olivia away from the bag. Olivia dropped to the floor and broke down into tears. Natasha kneeled by her, and hushed her.
Shuri went back to the lab to check on Izzy and gasped at the sight of the broken shield. Izzy was standing by her documents, flicking through them and sighing in defeat.
"I tried to talk sense into her, I really did."
"It is a difficult thing to understand." Shuri reassured, as Izzy put the documents in a drawer and locked it away. Shuri swiped all of the projections away and the two left the lab, to bump into a raging Natasha.
"You're taking her powers away?" The red head exclaimed, staring at the two with wide eyes.
Yelena stumbled out of Olivia's bedroom, still weak from everything that happened to her. She heard what Natasha said.
"Why're you doing that to her?" Yelena asked, her voice cracking.
"She could've killed you, Yelena." Izzy said.
"She didn't mean to! She wouldn't hurt me on purpose!"
"It didn't stop her." Izzy looked to Natasha dead in the eye, "We're taking them away. That's final."
In one swift movement, Natasha pinned Izzy to the wall and held her by the throat. Shuri tried to tear the two apart, as did Yelena once she saw Natasha spark her powers. Olivia stepped out of the training room and saw the girl, and instantly sprinted over to them along with Yelena.
"Natasha!" Olivia yelled as Izzy threw Natasha across the hallway. Olivia, just in time, caught Natasha and look to Izzy with anger in her eyes.
"You can do whatever you want to me," She panted out, seeing Izzys face grow pale, "but don't hurt her."
"I'm fine." Natasha groaned, standing on the ground and looking to Izzy as she walked off. Yelena and Olivia followed after.
"Don't worry about them." Shuri said, walking off to the kitchen.
Izzy teleported back home and landed in her room, running her fingers through her hair and turning around to look at her bed, jumping out of her skin when she saw Olivia sat on her bed.
"Jesus Christ," She yelled, "what're you doing here?"
"I want to make this a fair fight," Olivia sparked her powers in her palm and watched the flames dance, "I win, I keep my powers. You win, you can take them."
Izzy hesitated, then let the purple erupt from her skin and nodded. "Let's do this."
Olivia went to press the button on her chest and Izzy wrapped her powers around her hand and stopped her.
"No. You want this to be fair, let's make it fair. No suits, no hiding. Just you, me and our powers."
She let her hand free and like a flash, Olivia sparked her powers and shot Izzy through the window behind her, causing her to slam against the ground. Olivia stood on the edge of where the massive hole had been created and shrugged.
"Seems pretty fair to me."
Olivia flew down to the ground as Izzy stood up, brushing the dirt off her shoulder. The two had powers in their hands and glared at each other. Izzy wrapped her powers around Olivia's neck and began to choke her. With all of her might, Olivia shot them at her legs and lifted her up.
"Stand...down!" Olivia groaned.
"You don't deserve these powers!"
"Agh!" Olivia groaned, swiping her arm and sending Izzy flying. Izzy stopped herself, looking back at Olivia clutching her throat and trying to regulate her breathing. Once their eyes locked, they both sparked with their green and purple hues.
In sync, the two girls roared and had every ounce of their powers flood out of their body and swarm the area around them. The powers met and sparked a bright white light, which would blind those who looked right at it.
Sweating, panting and worn out the two hues drew back into their bodies and they collapsed to the floor. Olivia tried to pick herself back up, failed, and crawled over to her best friend who wasn't getting up.
"Izzy...I give in..." Olivia dropped next to her friends body, flopping against the ground and wiping the sweat from her forehead. "Take the...the powers. I don't want them."
The damage caused made Olivia no longer want to be responsible for it. Her friend collapsed beside her, the anger caused by everyone else and her current state, she was willing to give them up. With Izzy defeated, Olivia technically won, but with Olivia not going to have her powers, Izzy technically won.
