The Younger Agent - Natasha Romanoff x OC

Chapter 90 - Frozen In Fear

Eleanor began her sprint away from Natasha and towards Steve just as Rhodey was flying toward him. She was half expecting to see both of them flying through the air if Rhodey pelted into him, but instead, Steve performed a flip in which his foot came crashing down on Rhodey, sending him barrelling and skidding across the floor, one of his rear machine guns ripping clear off in the process.

The young woman winced at the sound of metal scraping across the concrete, the noise sending a shiver down her spine, much like when someone scratches a 3D image or scrapes chalk across a chalkboard. Though there wasn't much time to dwell on the now non-airborne War Machine, as T'Challa quickly pounced on top of Steve, though he quickly flung him out of the way too.

Eleanor gave him an impressed tilt of the head as she came up next to him, "You okay?", she checked in and gave him a quick pat on the arm, to which he smiled and nodded, panting slightly from the exertion. "Hey Cap! Heads up!", Scott came running towards the pair, Eleanor leaned her upper body to the side to see past Steve and saw that Scott had tossed something into Steve's hand. When the Captain opened his hand to look at what he had caught, both were very confused to see a miniaturised truck.

But there wasn't much time to query the Antman about what his plan was, as he quickly shouted it at them, "Throw it at this", he held up a small disc with a glowing blue centre in between his thumb and pointer finger, then yelled "NOW", as he tossed it away from the trio. Steve promptly threw the tiny truck at the flying disc, and as soon as it hit the truck was no longer tiny and was sent crashing towards Rhodey. Eleanor's eyes widened at seeing that Natasha was nearby too, though her heart palpitations stopped at seeing that she had managed to run to the side and out of the main blast zone of the exploding truck, but was still sent flying to the floor anyway.

The small group on Cap's side stared at the truck with a rather blank look, confused as to why it had burst into flames in an explosion like that one so easily, though their questions were answered when Scott started talking again, "Oh man, I thought it was a water truck". Okay, so he had picked up not just a truck, but one that housed explosives. Fantastic. "How on Earth do you mix up a water truck with one that has petrol?", Eleanor threw her arms up in the air and turned to face the man in question.

"I don't know!", he half-shouted back with just as much exasperation, "I didn't look at the symbols on the side! Sorry". Steve looked between the both of them and they shared a look that meant 'run', and pelted at full speed away from the now enraged Rhodey and T'Challa, and the rather annoyed Natasha.

The group ran towards the main airport building and around the side to try and get to the correct hangar that Sam had informed them of. Scott had branched off to take a different route, which Eleanor just shrugged off in order to keep the focus on following Steve who was running at full super soldier speed. She was just about able to keep up with him by sheer willpower as they sprinted past various vehicles and hangars, and as they popped back out into the open again they ended up running in front of Wanda, Clint and Scott. Almost the full team. "Come on!", Steve shouted to try and get them to move even faster. The quinjet was so close, they were almost a step closer to victory.

Sam and Bucky soon joined them on the side as they all continued the run forward. But of course, something would stand in their way, and that something was a red-coloured synthezoid. A yellow beam shot out of the mind stone in his head and shot at the floor in front of them, dragging along to create a line of broken concrete in front of them, smoke rising from it. The entire group immediately came to a halt, Eleanor stopped so fast in her tracks that she thought she was going to skid right into the death laser in front of her, but luckily her boots had enough traction.

When Vision was done with his piece of artwork on the floor and his laser stopped, the group looked at him hovering in the sky as he shouted down "Captain Rogers, I know you believe what you're doing is right...", he spoke whilst Tony flew down in front of them with Nat holding onto his hand, him setting her gently down in the process. "But for the collective good, you must surrender now".
