Run To You

Run and Recuperate

Sky POV

Soon enough we are all assembled in the briefing room. Aside from Clint who had to step out to speak with his 'Girlfriend'. Honestly for World's Mightiest Heroes, some of this team can be incredibly unobservant.

We are looking at a photo of Strucker, trying to find a location where Ultron could be. "Wakanda...? Wa...Wa...Wakanda." Bruce translates.

"If this guy got out of Wakanda with some of their trade goods." Tony begins.

Steve interjects, "I thought your father said he got the last of it?"

"I don't follow. What comes out of Wakanda?" Bruce inquires on behalf of the rest of the team who are all very much lost in this conversation.

Tony looks to Steve's shield before mumbling, "The strongest metal on earth."

"Oh shit," I state. "Well then, where is this guy now."

An hour later we are sneaking through the tree lines of a salvage garage. Tony, Thor, and Steve went ahead to confront Ultron while Clint and Nat snuck into the open dump yard to take down some soldiers, I stayed back to observe any oncoming threats and to keep an eye on Bruce.

We hear a commotion of footsteps and fighting.

Bruce steps out of quinjet and asks over the quiet comms, "Guys is this a code green?"

No one responds.

"Hello? Does anyone copy?" I say when I spot a familiar blur of neon blue across the junk yard. "Oh shit. Bruce get into the jet."

But before we can secure the jet Wanda and Pietro are 5 feet in front of us. I stand my ground and put Bruce behind me, "What are you guys doing here?"

Pietro is the one to speak as we lock eyes, "We made an ally I think you are familiar with, Ultron."

"Can we please talk about this." I plead.

"Talk about how you support Stark instead of us? How you are siding with a man that bombed our home?" Wanda exclaimed as they creep closer to us.

"What if I have files to show you guys that it wasn't Stark who ordered that bombing?" I ask.

"Well that would be a little too convenient." Wanda admits as I scan the field for any team members, none are in sight. "I have to admit the Avengers were easier to take down than I thought. Please come with us princesa we can have justice, together."

"You guys know me, do you really think I would be with the Avengers if I was not 100% sure they are good? Want have you guys done with my team? What do you want?" I plead. I can tell the twins are starting to see my side.

"The Avengers will be fine, they are just a little pre-occupied with their past." Pietro mumbles with a strained voice, "As for what we want..." he just looks at Bruce hesitantly as Wandas eyes turn red.

I square up in a defensive position while I get Bruce to make a distress call to the Avengers if they are still available. "Please no, talk about killing innocent people if you do this!" I exclaim. "Listen, I have files in our database about the bombing in Sokovia, that was the first thing I did when I met the Avengers. Please just let me show you."

By the time I can tell Pietro is convinced, Wanda is already in motion with her scarlet powers reaching out to Bruce. Before he has time to Hulk out I jump in front of bruce and I am teleported back to a dungeon I dreamed never to return to.

I am chained in a gurney with needles attached to both arms. Surrounding me is a cold brick chamber, people with lab coats and trays of surgical supplies. "Kill them or we will." He says.   

The rooms temperature starts to climb making me squirm as I feel my powers suffocate from the humid air. "Please no," I plead.

I look to my right and see Nat, Wanda and Pietro being held by soldiers, "Sky please, help us." They all cry in pain. 

"I can't kill them, please!" I cry.

The lead scientist grabs a gun and within three shots, the three people I know best in my life collapse with blank expressions of death. "Incredible, you are to weak to complete the most basic of tasks. No wonder you parents gave you up." The scientist yells as he grabs the tray of surgical supplies. "This should teach you how to be less of a worthless failure."

The temperature continues to increase as he stands over me with a syringe I know all to well. Whenever I misbehaved or wasn't completing enough tasks they would give me this serum that will paralyze you but you can feel everything happening to you. 

Worthless failure.

Worthless failure. "Sky!"

"Sky!" Worthless failure.

"Sky!"

A strong pair of arms are holding me when I come back to reality, I think. I open my eyes to see the entire team on the Quintet as Tony and Clint drive the jet. 

"Princesa are you ok?" Pietro asks as his face comes into my line of vision.

I then remember the vision all in one blow as the breathe is knocked out of my lungs. My heart rate escalates as I scan the jet for Nat and Wanda, both are ok. Pietro is on the ground in front of me unharmed as well. I throw my arms around him as tears begin streaming down my face, both our of relief and fear.

Pietro sits with me rubbing my back for five minutes until I catch my breathe. I look around the jet again, being calm enough now to take in everyones appearances. Majority of the team looks shaken up and will only look at Wanda or Pietro to give them questioning glances nor the occasional glare. But mostly everyone is in their own worlds.

"Oh thank god." Nat sighs as she comes over to me to give me a hug, "Are you ok?"

I hesitate trying to find an accurate response, "I will be. are you ok? What happened? What is ups with the team?"

She runs a hand through her short red hair before glaring at Pietro, "I think that is a better question for him."

"I am so sorry princesa. We didn't think you would jump in front of Bruce. We didn't even want to but we were nervous what Ultron would think if we didn't follow through. We tried to stop the vision but we couldn't," He continues to nervously rant. By this point the whole team was listening to his story, "When you took the spell meant for Bruce, Wanda and I felt terrible. We decided to give the Avengers a chance. The team was hesitant, rightfully so. But they let us tag along because of our close connection with you."

Nat joined into the conversation, "We trust you Sky, and you trust Pietro and Wanda so we are giving them a shot. Plus because of them we were able to save Helen Cho and hide the nano technology that Ultron wants until tomorrow."

"About time everyone came to their senses," I laugh. "it only took a few terrifying visions and memories to find a cross road."

"As sweet as this moment is," Clint says, "Everyone take a seat we should be there in 5." 

Tony being Tony was curious, "Exactly where is there?"

Nat and I look at each other knowing, "Someplace good."
