"We fight."

We start running to each other. Nat sighs. "This is gonna end well." Peter looks scared. "They're not stopping." Tony sounds, like always, sure of himself. "Neither are we." I take on Clint and Nat joins me. It's going relatively well, but Clint manages to get Nat on the ground anyways. "We're still friends, right?" I try to contain my laugh and Clint answers. "Depends on how hard you hit me. And who is she anyways?" I do my little wave and introduce myself. "I'm Quinn." While Clint is distracted Nat manages to get up again. She is going to kick him in his face.. But her foot stops mid-air. Wanda flings her away with her powers and then pushes me away too. She turns to Clint. "You were pulling your punches."

I look for Peter again and find him in conversation with Steve. "That thing does not obey the law of physics at all." Steve sighs. "Look kid, there's a lot going on here that you don't understand." I slowly walk a bit closer to them, but stay out of sight. "Mr Stark said you'd say that." He does something with his webs and pulls Cap towards him and then... kicks him backwards? He starts talking again. "He also said to go for your legs." I burst out laughing. Cap never protects his legs for some reason, so it's true. With that I also make my presence known and I join the fight. As Peter tries to keep Steve from reaching his shield there's is nothing I can do without my powers. I just stand and watch as Cap flings Peter away.

He then pulls Peter back and hits him on his head with the shield. I just stand there, unable to make a difference. It's weird being so powerful, but feeling completely powerless. Peter flings both of us onto the plane-entrance thingy. Steve decides this is a perfect moment for a conversation. "Stark tell you anything else?" I answer. "That you're wrong. You think you're right, that makes you dangerous." He flings us both down to where Cap is standing and tries to take his shield again. We both get thrown back by Steve. "Guess he had a point." Cap destroys the pillar holding up the plane-entrance thingy and it nearly crushes us. Luckily Peter is able to get up quickly enough.

Steve apparently thinks this moment is great to talk. "You got hearts kids. Where y'all from?" Peter answers. "Queens." I get up too and use a bit of my powers to hold the weight up, without other noticing. "I'm from Queens too." I answer. Steve points at himself. "Brooklyn." Then he runs away.

"Get away from this thing, Quinn!" I furrow my eyebrows. "Don't be so dramatic. I'll hold it up from the side, so you can get away from it." He scoffs. "I can handle myself." I smile. "Okay and so can I? We're here to help each other." Peter scoffs, but accepts my help. We get out from under the thing.

Suddenly there is a giant version of Scott. And i mean GIANT. He grabs Rhodey by his ankles. Peter turns around confused. "Holy shit!" We hear Rhodey talking over the comms. "Okay, tiny dude is big now! He's big now!" My eyes are wide in shock. Tony sounds upset. "Give me back my Rhodey." Rhodey gets flung away, but Peter manages to stop him from flying into an airplane. Tony starts talking again. "Okay, anybody on our side hiding any shocking and fantastic abilities they'd like to disclose? I'm open to suggestions." Fuck. This is my moment. I have to tell the truth. "Uh.. I kinda got something." I can hear Tony's confusion through the comms. "Yeah? What you got? Amazing abilities?" I chuckle. "Yeah. I can like sort of... read minds? And I can teleport. And some energy manipulation..?" Tony voice blooms in my ear again. "Wait hold up.. you can teleport? And you're only telling this now? Well, do your thing." Scott's voice is even louder than before. "You wanna get to them, you have to go through me." He kicks and shatters large wooden boxes. I sent an energy bolt to him, making him lose his balance.

Suddenly Peter has an idea. "Hey guys! Did you ever see that really old movie, Empire Strikes Back?" I groan. Rhodey is also irritated. "Jesus, Tony, how old is this guy?" Tony sighs. "I don't know, I didn't carbon date him. He's on the young side." Peter flings around Scott and leaves a strong string of webs behind him. He starts screaming again. "You know that part... when they're on the snow planet," He swings around Ant-Man's legs and Scott is now standing with his legs closed. Peter continues. "With the walking thingies." Tony sounds a little more hopeful. "Maybe the kid is onto something. Quinn, you do one more of your energy thingy." Rhodey gets it too. "High now! Tony, go high!" Peter tightens the web strings and Tony and Rhodey fly up. I sent an energy bolt, that hits Scott in his chest. At the same moment Tony and Rhodey hit Scott's head back. Scott loses balance and falls over. As he falls, Scott hits Peter painfully and I wince. Scott looks a bit hurt too. "Does anyone have any orange slices?"

I teleport to the place Peter got flung too and I see him lying on the ground. Tony gets here fast too and he approaches Peter. Peter lays on the ground scarily silent and my heart is pounding in my chest. Tony looks scared too. "Kid, you alright?" I breathe a sigh of relieve as Peter rolls over. He immediately fights Tony, but he manages to control the situation. "Same side! Hi, it's me!" Peter looks so relieved. I speak up, concern lacing my voice. "Are you okay, Pete?" He winces as he speaks. "I-I'm fine." Tony decides that this was enough. "You guys are done, alright? Y'all did a good job." I try to talk back, but Peter beats me to it. "I'm fine! I gotta get him back-" Tony interrupts him. "You're going home or I'll call aunt May!" I protest too. "I'm not even hurt! Why can't I keep fighting?" Tony looks irritated. "It's been a long day, you need rest. You two both, you're done" As Tony flies away Peter tries to get up. "Mr Stark, wait! I'm not done, I'm not.." He plops down to the ground again. "Okay, I'm done. I'm done.."

"Come on, let's go to a quiet, safe place." I help Peter up and we walk away.
