Dust And Ashes

'Glad you like the view, Romanoff. It's about to get better.'

The three watched in shook as a helicarrier came into view, like the ones which were destroyed when Shield fell. Costias mouth opened a little because of the shock.

What was happening was so weird, just seconds ago she made peace with the thought of dying right here and now and suddenly Fury was there to save all their asses.

'Nice right?' they heard Fury say through the comms, 'I pulled her out of mothballs with a couple of old friends. She's dusty, but she'll do.'

"Fury, you son of a bitch." Steve said as he looked at the huge aircraft. Costia glanced over at him, wasn't he the same guy who reprimanded Stark for saying 'a bad language word'?

'Ooh! You kiss your mother with that mouth?' Fury joked, the tension finally fell from Costia and she began to smile. This was going to end okay, not in a disaster.

'Altitude is 18,000 and climping.' they heard Marias voice, Costia had missed her over the last days.

'Lifeboats secure and deploy. Disengage in three, two...' another voice said, probably someone who had worked at Shield, 'Take them out.'

"This is Shield?" Pietro asked as he stood a little infront of the three Avengers, he joined them just a second ago.

"This is what it's supposed to be like." Costia smiled as she glanced at the back of Pietros head.

"This is not so bad." the boy said making Costia chuckle, she had missed him too.

The four watched as the lifeboats were arriving, they were getting closer rather quickly. Costia assumed around 100 people would fit into one. She quickly did her math, just making sure everyone would have a place.

"Let's load them up." Steve ordered as he already turned around and already started to walk towards the building with the civilians inside.

They brought everyone into the lifeboats, it was a mess. Everyone, expect the Avengers, wanted to be the first one in the boats.

Costia repeatedly had to yell at people not to run others over, she also repetitively muttered 'I hate people' but so quite only she herself would hear it.

'Thor, I got a plan!' she heard Stark yell excited as they were about to fill the third boat.

'We're out of time. They're coming for the core.' the god responded. Costia knew he was in the church behind them, or what was left of it. The vibranuim core was there and once it'd get damaged the whole rock would fall down miles, causing a whole lot of people to die.

'Avengers, time to work for a living.' Stark announced, Costia knew that they had to get to the chruch now, they had to do everything they could to defend the core.

Costia was so tired she had no strength to get to the church on her own, she wasn't sure if she physically could. The only thing in her body that was still ready to fight was her self-discipline and willpower, but she wasn't sure if these two things would get her through it.

She started to walk in the direction but suddenly a big yellow construction vehicle came to a stop next to her. A certain redhead threw the door to the passengers side open, "Want a ride?" she offered with a smug smile.

"Uuh, which kind of ride?" the blonde woman smirked as she sat down next to Natasha, she just shook her head while she laughed.

'I wish I hadn't heard that.' the two heard Tonys voice through their comms, Costia joined Natashas laughter even though she wanted to store every last bit of her energy.
