Every Piece of Me

Nightmares

It was bright and hot as hell out here. We walked out of sight, lurking behind bushes or abandoned buildings. My dad, Thor, and Steve were in the front, Clint and Natasha were in the middle, and Peter and I were in the back. We were walking in the order we'd join the fight, that made sense, especially since Peter and I were new. We'd want to follow their leads.

  Peter kept nervously looking around, but also a hint of excitement lurked in his expressions. Almost as if he was excited to get attacked my artificial intelligence. I promise it's not as cool as it sounds, dude, from personal experience. There wasn't a lot of people in this area, it was mostly tumble weeds and an occasional suspicious figure with a hood on that we'd all avoid. Every building or structure that we passed was either run down, completely empty, or falling apart.

We approached a building after another ten minutes, I could hear faint talking in the distance. It was Ultron's voice and another raspy one, here we go.

My dad flew up for his, and I quote, 'dramatic entrance' Thor and Steve went in, crouching down, since they had to sneak into the building. Peter, Clint, Natasha and I all waited outside in the hall behind them for when the rest of them needed backup. After about two minutes we started hearing metal clanking around and yelling, I could hear lasers beaming and smashing from my dads and Ultron's fighting.

"Move move move!" Foot steps made their way towards us. A couple of seconds later men made their way into our hall, Clint and Natasha started fighting them off. Natasha did this cool flip thing where she made someone pass out by spinning around their neck. Clint was firing arrows like he was throwing tennis balls or something, trust me he's a lot more useful than you'd think. Natasha looked at us in our all mesmerized glory and nudged her head towards outside of the hall.

That was our cue. Peter slipped on his mask and I channeled energy into my hands, the green lighting up our faces. We locked eyes, fear was definitely present in Peter's.

"Let's go." I spoke to Peter with a head tilt towards the entrance, he nodded at me and we ran into the fight. The first bot I saw I blasted with my energy. It flew into the floor and I swung around to meet another.

My telekinesis and hand combat would be the only things on my side, no plants, no water, no rocks. Nothing in here at all. Wanda seemed to do fine with only telekinesis, though hers was a lot more than that. I used it again to twist the weapon off of the legion, throwing it aside and then kicking its chest so it fell onto the floor below me.

Peter swung by me and threw another bot into a wall that was behind me by kicking his feet into its middle, he then stuck its face to the ground and landed by it in his Spider-Man pose. He nodded at me and then shot his web upwards and went up again.

I took a moment to look around while I could in the time nobody was paying attention to me, I was in a corner waiting for an opening with a couple of guys that were standing near me. I wouldn't say it was several floors high, but it had a lot of bridges crossing over different levels of the area. It was lowly lit by old looking lamps and a single light on the ceiling. It was definitely a black market type of place.

In my distraction I was pushed off of the railing I was standing by, my body slamming into the ground below me. I sucked in a breath, being winded, before quickly holding my hands out in front of me. The bot slammed right into the green force I was holding and pushed against it. I struggled in my weakened state, my arms shaking. Pietro soon crashed next to me, we made eye contact as my arms gave away. I rolled over to the side and the bot backed itself up before it could hit the metal floor below me. It fired its weapon at me and I crossed my arms over my face, preparing to be burned.

But instead I found a large gust of wind, I opened my eyes and I was being dropped on my feet by Pietro, two levels up from the bot. "So you're playing hero now?" He asked me with a raised eyebrow. Memories of us floated to the front of my mind. The cold comfort we gave to each other with my time getting my powers.
