 I can feel a surge of adrenaline go through my veins as I continue sprinting down the hall. The steady thump of my footsteps echoed in my ears and I felt a bead of sweat roll down my forehead. I can feel my throat burn, my breath quicken and my footsteps start to slow down from running so long.

How does Pietro do this?

I can't stop now, I need prove to Wanda that I can actually get something done without her or Pietro. I need to take one of these Avengers down. But how exactly am I going to do that without killing anyone? Maybe I could just make them pass out?

I sigh as I round the corner of yet another hall. As soon as I do I smack straight into someone's back. I immediately rebound off of the person and fall to the ground.

Well this is going great. I think to myself as I stand up, recollecting my thoughts. When I look back up I see the woman with the short red hair and the all black outfit standing there with a smirk on her face.

"You know I am getting real tired of seeing you." I mumble.

"Feeling is mutual." She states before turning around to face me. I immediately take notice of the handgun strapped to her side, "We told you-"

"What?" I ask, cutting her off. At this point she is way past the stage of annoying.

"You should have backed down when you had the chance." she takes in a deep breath before continuing, "I don't suppose you want to raise the white flag now, right?"

"Nope." I state simply before turning her holster and gun into pixels, then slamming them into her.

This makes her go flying before crashing into the wall and crumpling to the ground.

"Well that was easy." I mumble before cautiously making my way over to her and checking her over for any more weapons. I find two more guns in her boots along with a knife which has a very long blade.

Well, someone is prepared.

I check her pulse, sighing in relief when I feel a faint one coursing through her.

That was way to easy. Is the first thing that comes to my mind when stand up, away from her crumpled form.

A wave of my hand - that was all it took.

Wow, I didn't realize how easy it was to take one of these people down. If I can take her down that easy what can Wanda and Pietro do to these people? They are more experienced and are actually somewhat comfortable with a this type of thing.

I jump up in surprise as I hear her groan - most likely from the pain. Her eyes start to flutter open before she gives up - letting her head fall, her eyes close, and her body go limp. I rush over to her, praying she isn't dead.

As soon as I reach for her she grabs me and flips me over so that she is hovering above me and I am living on my back - on the floor.

"You didn't seriously think I would go down that easy?" she remarks, with a slight smile.

"I was kinda hoping." I breathe out before she eyes her gun I tossed to the other side of the room earlier. I curse myself for not turning it to pixels before now as she picks up both guns.

I back up against the nearest wall - still sightly stunned from her flipping me over.

Before she has the chance to even point the gun at me I make them change into pixels.

"Your making this too easy." I state, a cocky grin on my face. Before she has the chance to respond I use the pixels - that were previously her weapons - to pin her hands and feet against the wall.

"You just don't play fair."she mutters under her breath. I give one last smirk before strolling back the way I came.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I get back to where I left Wanda I see almost all of the Avengers are ether sprawled out on the floor or supporting themselves against the wall. Each of them having weird spaced out look in their eyes.

I look around for Wanda - she has to be the cause of this.

After several minutes of searching the area and surrounding hallways I come up empty handed.

Perfect. Now what am I supposed to do.

I storm down yet another hallway, hoping that I will find at least some clue about to where everyone went. That was around the time when I noticed the man with the bow directly in front of me. I freeze in my place, hoping he hasn't heard or seen me.

My heart beats louder in my chest and my breath quickens, what should I do? At that same moment I see Wanda inching closer and closer to the man. Her hands glowing with their familiar red light.

I start to back away from the scene - Wanda can handle him on her own. But as soon as I turn around I hear a cry of pain. I spin back around to see Wanda with an arrow giving off electricity lodged in her forehead. I hear the man mutter a few words - but they are too quiet to make out. I race forward towards my sister - in hopes of helping her. That is - until the same man shoots another arrow at me.

I don't have time to transform into pixels before the arrow lodges into my shoulder. I cover my mouth before screaming out in pain. I run back to a doorway a few feet behind me before even looking at the arrow wound in my shoulder.

When I do get a chance to glance at it I see that the while arrowhead plus part of the shaft is deeply embedded in my left shoulder. I let out a shaky breath before going to remove the arrow. As soon as I touch it an agonizing pain shoots through the whole area around my shoulder.

Stupid move. I think to myself before making the arrow turn to pixels then making those pixels disappear.

The arrow is out but the pain isn't gone - if anything it's gotten worse.

I peak my head around the corner to see what happened to Wanda just to find that she has vanished.

I stagger out to where she was standing not even a minute ago to find that she is nowhere to be seen.

"Wanda! Pietro!" I scream out - not the exactly the smartest move - but at that moment I was so desperate I didn't care.

I hear footsteps running towards me. I panick so I dive into the same doorway I was standing in a few moments ago.

The footsteps come closer so I put my hand over my mouth and squeeze my eyes shut. As the footsteps slow down next to me I turn to pixels - hoping it would make me more invisible.

It didn't work.

An arm reaches down for me, so naturally I bolt out of the doorway and down the hall, looking back to see who it was I catch a glimpse of a red white and blue shield.

Captain America.

He runs for a few feet - chasing after me - before stopping.

Guess I am not worth the trouble.

I reach another door, this time with an exit sign hanging over it.

Perfect.

I push open the door with the last of my strength. I take no more than three steps before collapsing on the ground.
