You're Destined | MARVEL

19. "Keep up, old man"

“Sokovia, a city between Slovakia and the Czech Republic at the north-west of the black sea, is hovering circa 4000 feet above the ground. The Avengers were spotted on this flying part of Sokovia, fighting against robots. Not all citizens were able to leave in time and are trapped up there. We have no more infos for now but we’ll keep you updated. We…” I look around and see a lot of shocked faces

My hair falls into my face but I ignore it and get up.

“What are you doing?” Anna asks me 

“I have to go to the toilet” I lie and walk out 

I grab my phone after the door closes behind me. My phone opens and I search for a news channel. no, no, n- yes! After 2 minutes of despartly searching I finally found a channel that shows the fight from above with a helicopter, near the flying city but far away enough from any danger. They zoom in on the city so the viewer can see what’s happening. I watch intensely as the Avengers fight for their own and the lives of everyone else, again.

The bridge is about to collapse, the ground unter the cars crack and the people inside start screaming. Captain runs towards the red car and grabs the bumper of the car but it breaks and the car falls down leaving Cap with the loose bumper in his hand, listening to the scream of the woman. He spots Thor and nods at him after killing another robot behind him. Thor throws the woman up and Steve has to jump down, holding onto a structural steel which is leaping out from the concrete. 

“I got you!” Steve yells and holds onto the woman who looks down to the city below “just look at me!” Thanks to his super strength, he reaches the top again with the woman still holding onto him. 

“You can’t save them all” A robot says, heading towards the woman but a round object stocks into its torso. “You’ll never..”

“Never” what? You didn’t finish!” Rogers jells after the now falling robot which he easily threw from the edge

A car crashes down beside him with Thor on top of it. They walk away, leaving the two men in the car alone.

“What were you napping?” Steve asks Thor as the car door opens and the driver starts puking. 

A big fight occurs in the city, explosions caused by robots flying into cars and tanks. ULTRON looks from above and spots a certain blondy.

“Thor!” He yells and flies towards him “you are bothering me” He admits as he flies away with Thor’s neck in his robotic hands.

Meanwhile, Clint is still fighting against the robots around the building he was in a few minutes ago. He jumps backwards, aiming an arrow at a robot, shoots and lands on his back.

 “Ow” He groans and looks up only to see many more robots there is no chance he will kill them all 

The door opens beside him and a confident Wanda walks out, her eyes start to glow red and the same red finds itself in Wanda's hands. She starts ripping one by one in pieces and throwing it at other robots. Clint takes this as an advantage, gets up and starts shooting again. Wanda looks at Clint who nods after there were no robots alive anymore.

“All right, we’re all clear here” Clint informs the others

“We are not clear!” He hears Cap yelling from the other side of the comms “We are very not clear!”

“All right, coming to you” Barton says

Suddenly Pietro speeds up to Wanda, grabbing her bridal style and runs off but not before teasing the archer a little. “Keep up, old man!”

Clint gasps, not expecting a sudden blow of air against his face. He slowly aims at the direction where Pietro was with his bow.

“Nobody would know” He mutters to himself “Nobody” He lowers his bow, puts the arrow back in his quiver and starts running in the direction he just aimed at. “The last I saw him, an ULTRON was sitting on him. Yeah he’ll be missed, that quick little bastard. I miss him already” He acts out a scene as he continues to run. The police are still shooting at the many robots left. Explosions happen around them, dust and dirt brushes against their faces. Pietro stops in front of the shooting police men and puts Wannda down.The officer screams for his men to hold the fire so Wanda and Pierto could do her job. Pietro starts running again only to be brushed by a bullet at his upper arm. He stops, turns his head and spots a policeman, the one who shot at him. Pietro makes a ‘Come on, man. Really?’ gesture and continues to walk.
The robots are still all around Sokovia, shooting at people and letting the cars besides them blow up. One of the robots that is flying in the sky sees a helicopter. It flies towards it, stops, lifts its hand up and shoots. The Helicopter starts to turn, circling through the air, the pilot and crew start to scream. The equipment falls out and makes its way to the ground.

I gasp at the sight of the disconnected camera and just now feel my breathing being heavy, the hairs on my arms standing up and me chewing at the nail of my right thumb. This really makes me feel helpless. I can’t help. I couldn’t help the people in the helicopter. 

“Hey, you okay?” I hear someone from outside the room. I didn’t even realize that I walked to my room. I turn around and see Ben… 

“Yeah, it’s just- I can’t help them” I answer

“That’s what I love about you” He admits and walks up to me

“What?” I mumble as he sits down next to me

“That you always want to help people even though you’re an introvert. It’s a good trade you have, Maven” He explains

I shrug and look at him. “Is everything okay between us?” I mean it’s okay if it’s not, I just- I’m sorry. I’m sorry, okay? I just can’t do it. Not right now, not-”

“Hey, hey. It’s okay. We’ll always be friends, no matter what happens. I’m fine and okay with being just friends, I’m not mad” Ben

“I don’t deserve you”  I admit and look down

“Yes, you do. Anyways, what do you think will happen? I mean, with the Avengers in Sokovia” Ben assures me and I look up at him

“I have no idea” That was a lie. I don’t know everything, there wasn't enough time to see everything in Cap’s head.  But what I know is that it has something to do with the big robot in the news, the twins, a red robot and Stark. I saw destruction, I heard fainted screaming and voices. That's all I know. But It's going to be okay. Captain is not going to die today, there was something ahead, I felt it.
