🦋Chapter 49: One Problem Leads To Another🦋

She looked different. Her long red hair was now short. She had black gear and black clothing, pointing a pistol at us. Gamora raised her own blaster pistol, powering it up. T'Challa aimed his blasters at Natasha as well, while Thor lifted his hammer, and Stephen and Sofia lifted their hands, prepared to use their abilities. My eyes widened. This isn't good. Both Peggy and I stood in front of the team.

"No, wait." Peggy advised.

"Stand down." I ordered. "She's Natasha Romanoff."

T'Challa furrowed his brows. "Who?"

"Yeah. I'm also supposed to be the last person on this planet." Natasha retorted, keeping her pistol aimed at us.

Peggy and I slowly walked towards Natasha. Stephen immediately blurted out, looking worried. "Mariana, no."

I immediately turned to face Stephen, giving him a reassuring smile. "Stephen, it's okay. You trust me?"

"Always." He answered without hesitation.

My heart warmed at his words. My smile grew as I responded. "Then let me do this."

Stephen let out a sigh, but nevertheless, he caved in, giving me a nod. So with that, I joined Peggy, walking towards Natasha at a slow pace, not wanting her to think we are going to attack her, especially as she has a loaded pistol pointed directly at us.

"We're from another universe. Universes. We're here to stop Ultron. I can prove it." Peggy persisted as she cocked her gun. "Your father is Ivan. Your da's Alexei."

"And you have a sister, Yelena." I chimed in.

I watched as Natasha's eyes widened, but she kept the gun pointed at us. Peggy quickly added on. "And you're the one woman I trust to have my six, including now. There are four people you trust in the universe, and I count myself lucky enough to be one of them."

We anxiously watched as Natasha gave Peggy and me one last look before a smile grew on her face, slowly lowering the pistol she had in her hand. I let out a sigh of relief, not realizing I had been holding my breath.

"Well, we must be close." Natasha mentioned.

"I believe the term is B.F.F." Peggy replied, answering for me as well.

All of the sudden, we heard a rumbling noise. That can't be good. We then turned around to see part of sky opening, breaking a part like shards of glass, revealing Ultron. My heart dropped. Oh shit...he found us.

"I believe that you have something that belongs to me." Ultron declared.

He then extended his right hand engulfed in purple beams from the Power Stone. Natasha was flung up in the air towards Ultron. My eyes widened in horror. Peggy and I both shouted out. "Natasha!"

Thor swung his hammer before hurling it over at Ultron. I had the same idea as I hurled a blue energy beam at Ultron. Together, we tore his right arm off, causing Natasha to fall from the sky along with the Soul Stone. Stephen quickly intervened, lifting his hands engulfed in orange beams, creating a portal under Natasha, opening another near us, allowing her to safely land on the ground. Stephen then used a spell to protect her like he did with us, creating a golden light of armor around her, baffling her.

"Wha..." She trailed off in disbelief.

Erik then caught the Soul Stone before it fell to the ground. We then watched as red beams engulfed where Ultron's right arm once was. In horror, we watched as the arm reappeared as though nothing happened. Great, he's like a lizard. Ultron then hurled a purple beam with his hand, hitting the ground near Erik, creating an explosion, hurling him back across the sky, causing the Soul Stone to plummet to the ground near us. Gamora, T'Challa, Thor, Peggy, Sofia, and I were about to head over, when Ultron sent a huge wave of energy blasts. Stephen's spell kicked in, blocking the blasts with balls of light as a golden light glistened around us.
