Avengers Imagines

Pietro Maximoff #1 part 2

I huddled behind a car when I heard a creaking noise above me, I turn and gulp down a scream. The building above me was crumbling and the metal power cable post was going to fall just on top of me.

I went to stand up and run but I saw a gun pointed in my direction and froze.

"Get down, on the ground, behind the car!" A man in a dark purple suit with a bow and arrow shouted at me.

For once my body agreed with sensible requirements and I hunched behind the car.

I looked up at the power cable and gulped... It was either run and die or stay and die...

Not much of a choice...

'Not the time to lighten a situation' my conscious mind told me.

'At least I'm taking my mind off the fact I'm definitely going to die...' I argued back.

"_____?" Pietro shouted over at me.

"Go get the people in the building... I'll get her" I heard the bow and arrow dude say.

'Again? Stop joking about' my mind ordered.

"Your ____?" The man asked, as he made his way over behind cars I never knew were there.

'I could have not been a stupid damsel in distress if I had seen them before' I groaned.

"Yeah..." I smiled, slightly.

"What got u into this mess?" He joked.

"I don't honestly know." I smiled.

There was heavy movement and then silence I looked behind him to see the guns being repositioned.

"Erm..." I started.

"Name's Clint..." He said, looking back the way he came.

"Erm.. Nice... You might want to look behind you..." I said.

He glanced and froze.

"Clint... Shouldn't we be running?" I asked.

He nodded, but we weren't fast enough to react as the guns were loaded and aimed.

I saw a blue blur out the corner of my eye and my smile fell... It wasn't really there to begin with... He was risking his life for mine...I felt an arm around my waist as we were carried off as hundreds of bullets were fired.

We hit safety in seconds.

"Is everyone alright?" Clint asked.

"I... I didn't see that coming..." Pietro said before falling to the ground.

I scrambled on my knees to his side not caring about the stings as they bled.

"Pietro?..." I asked, taking his hand.

"I so wish we could have seen each other again." He smiled.

"We are... We will... Your going to live..." I said, tears sliding down my cheeks.

He didn't reply. Clint stood for a second before picking him up and taking us towards the safety carrier.Clint lay his lifeless body down and lay across the seats.

I sat on the floor beside Pietro and let the tears fall.I knelt up and pressed my lips against his slack ones... And for some reason my heart felt so empty...
