The Younger Agent - Natasha Romanoff x OC

Chapter 76 - Bye Bye Brother

Natasha abruptly dropped Eleanor's arm when the group saw the remaining, very damaged, Ultron bots running to the edge of the city. That was not good, Ultron can live through the bots, they had to make sure to eradicate all of them, which would be tricky if they were dotted around random parts of the world.

"They'll try to leave the city", Thor boomed. 

"We can't let them, not even one. Rhodey!". In response to Stark's order, Vision also decided that he should jump into battle again, so flew off into the distance at high speed. Eleanor watched with a slight frown as the vibranium figure got smaller and smaller, wishing with everything that she has that not one bot would escape.

The group shook it off, it was out of their hands now, and some moved back towards the centre for a re-group. Whilst walking back to the middle Eleanor looked around with a grimace, even though the city would be destroyed further when they were off of it, it was still a shame to see a place in such ruins. Especially when you could see the clear remnants of people's homes. Apartment buildings had crumbled, houses had holes blown into the sides, and cars were crushed. A lot of lives had been impacted today, and there was a common theme of guilt that they couldn't stop Ultron before it got to that point.

"We gotta move out, even I can tell the air is getting thin", Steve began once Nat, Eleanor, Clint, and Wanda were in earshot. "You guys get to the boats, I'll sweep for stragglers".

Clint looked over to the centre of the church, "What about the core?". 

"I'll protect it". Everyone's head snapped to Wanda who had a determined look about her.

Eleanor's jaw tightened, Wanda was powerful but leaving her alone by the core seemed risky, "Are you sure? One of us can stay". 

"It's my job", Wanda nodded back at her. 

"Nat, El", Clint grabbed their attention so that they could get out of there, but Eleanor shook her head.

"I'll stay, you guys go".

Nat frowned and took a step forward, "Are you insane? No". 

"We'll get back in time, won't we?", Eleanor turned to Wanda for back-up, but was instead given an unsure look, which didn't help, "We will". Natasha looked like she was about to say something else but Clint began hurrying her along, "I'll see you in a minute", Eleanor nodded to her, receiving a small, nervous one back. 

Wanda looked at Eleanor curiously who was eyeing up the perimeter once Steve had run off. She wasn't complaining about the fact that she wanted to stay with her, but she was confused. Since the argument in the lab, Eleanor had treated her like not just a team member, but a friend, even though they knew nothing about each other. Though Wanda did know more, she could see glimpses of the nightmares that she gives people, which only made her feel all the more guilty about it with her being so accepting.

Both women were interrupted by a certain speedster crashing through into the church and slowing down next to Wanda. Eleanor's entire body tensed up before realising who it was, and Wanda just shook her head at her twin's familiar antics. "Get the people on the boats". 

"I'm not going to leave you here".

"We can handle this", Wanda gestured her head toward Eleanor who was still standing on one side of the church whilst she blasted a bot away with her red magic.

"Oh, you're here too! Don't fancy another sprint around the city then?", he smirked, Wanda tilted her head having no clue what he was referencing. 

Eleanor laughed slightly and shook her head as she took a few steps forward, being careful of the rubble that still rested on the floor, "Not particularly, but we will need a ride back to the boats when you're done".
