Far Away

'This isn't the real fight, Steve.' Sam spoke up through the comms, Costia was just on her way to him or Clint. She would help them so Bucky and Steve could get to the Quinjet. Even though they were powerful she wasn't sure if they could defeat the other team.

'Alright Sam, what's the play?' Steve asked.

'We need a diversion. Something big.' Sam answered. There was a short silence in the comms before Scott spoke up, 'I got something kinda big. But I can't hold it very long'.

"I swear to god, if you throw a flamable truck at my fiancée again, I'll rip out every single one of your hair and feed it to you." Costia spoke up, she wasn't sure if the threat was real or not. She added a small "Continue.", they needed to be fast now.

Costia came to a stop next to Wanda, the two were hiding behind a car. 'On my signal, run like hell. And if I tear myself in half... don't come back for me.' Scott spoke up again. Costia chuckled at his words. He was joking, right?

"Should we help Scott, or Steve?" Wanda asked the blonde woman next to her while the boys where still talking through the comms. Since Costia was something like a teacher or trainer for Wanda she looked up to her. In Wandas mind Costia always knew the right thing to do. But she didn't this time.

It was important that at least Bucky and Steve got to the Quinjet, they needed to stop the soldiers. In order for them to do that without disturbance Wanda and Costia may be needed by Scott, Sam and Clint.

But Costia also didn't want to be caught. She would be on the run for probably the rest of her life because of what she did. She didn't make peace with the thought, but accepted it. If she'd get caught now she wouldn't even be free, she wouldn't be able to make her own choices. And all she ever wanted was that.

Wanda was still looking at her, she was thinking about the same things. "I don't know." Costia finally said, not surprising Wanda by her answer. "We should go with Steve." Wanda decided, "I'm sure he and Bucky could need our help." she added. Costia smiled at her, proud that she was the one who made the decision.

Suddenly the two heard Scott groaning through the comms. The two looked up when they saw a huge... person. Scott wasn't small anymore, he was the huge person. 'I guess that's the signal.' Steve said through the comms. 'Way to go, Tic Tac!' Sam said excited.

Wanda and Costia automatically looked at each other before they started to run towards the Quinjet, just a few feet behind Bucky and Steve. They heard the fighting sounds from behind them but just kept running, no looking back.

When they almost reached the hall Visions laser pierced through a high tower which stood right before the hall. It began to fall towards the direction of the hall, it would block the entrance and make it impossible Bucky and Steve to get inside.

Wanda and Costia quickly reacted, with their powers combined they slowed the tower down from falling. Wanda stopped running while doing so, she needed all her energy for the tower. Costia continued to run, she had almost caught up to the two men.

Bucky, Steve and Costia were almost at the hall when Costia felt Wandas powers fade from the tower. There was no way she could hold it up all on her own. Even if she was able to do that, there was no way she could do that while running.

Costia did her best to hold the tower up for as long as she could while continuing to run, a little slower than before. Bucky and Steve got through before the tower collapsed. Steve continued to run while Bucky turned around, aware that Costia was somewhere behind him.

He looked at the remnants of the tower, luckily spotting Costia near him. Half her body was under the destroyed tower, probably hurt. "Leave me!" the blonde yelled as she looked up and saw Bucky coming towards her. Unwillingly Bucky turned around, he knew getting to the soldiers was top priority right now.
