Decisions and Splinters - Book 5 (Civil War)

Chapter 11 - The Airport

Both sides started walking forwards before breaking into a jog and then a run as Tony, Vision, Rhodey, Wanda, and Sam took to the sky. Most everyone paired off fighting, but they also rotated and watched each others' backs. T'Challa immediately ran after Bucky. Just as T'Challa got the upper hand, claws ready to grip Bucky's throat, Annabelle swung her staff, the nails ripping into the metal instead.

"Nice to see you again," she nodded at him before swinging the pole up and knocking him in the head before spinning around and hitting his back, causing him to fall to his knees. Her luck of surprise was soon over as he turned the tables and kicked her to the ground, going to pick her up before his body was wrapped in red wisps and he was thrown to the other side of the airfield.

"Thanks," Bucky panted as stood back up.

"Anytime," Annabelle nodded before running to meet Steve as he ran away from Spider-Man who was now holding one of the terminals above his head.

"We gotta go," Bucky told them. "That guy's probably in Siberia by now."

"We gotta draw out the flyers. I'll take Vision. You two get to the jet."

"No, you get to the jet," Sam told them over their comms. "All three of you. The rest of us aren't getting out of here."

"As much as I hate to admit it," Clint chimed in, "if we're gonna win this one, some of us might have to lose it."

"This isn't the real fight, Steve," Sam continued.

"Alright, Sam," he gave in after looking at Bucky and Annabelle. "What's the play?"

"We need a diversion. Something big."

"I got something kinda big," Scott offered. "But I can't hold it very long. On my signal, run like hell. And if I tear myself in half," Bucky and Annabelle shared a confused look, "don't come back for me."
"He's gonna tear himself in half?" Bucky clarified.

"You sure about this, Scott?"

"I do it all the time," he assured them. "I mean once. In a lab. Then I passed out."

"Maybe this isn't the best idea then," Annabelle said, but it was too late as they turned to see Scott grow about sixty feet tall. "Hot damn," she let out as they all stared in awe and he caught Rhodey by the foot.

"I guess that's the signal," Steve said, too stunned to mention Annabelle's choice of words.

"Way to go, Tic Tac," Sam cheered. Scott chucked Rhodey, Spider-Man catching him with a web. The rest of the Avengers continued fighting while Steve, Bucky, and Annabelle took off running towards the hanger.

"Watch out!" Annabelle yelled as she noticed Vision using his stone to cut part of a tower in half. It started to fall and block the entrance to the hanger, but it was suddenly held up by a cloud of red. They glanced back to see Wanda holding it up for them and they started running faster. All the sudden, Wanda screamed and it started to come crashing down again. Bucky and Steve made it through, but Annabelle had to dive away from the rubble collapsing near her.

"Annabelle!" Steve and Bucky shouted when they saw that she wasn't with them.

"I'm okay. Just go."

"Annab-"

"Just go," she ordered her brother before taking off running back to the fight. By the time she got back over, Spider-Man was swinging around Scott's legs while Tony and Rhodey knocked him over. Scott's hand hit Spider-Man as he cheered, causing him to go flying. He hit Annabelle, both of them holding onto each other as they crashed into a pile of cargo boxes, the wood going flying before they rolled down the tarmac. Tony landed and jogged over to Spider-Man while Annabelle rolled behind another pile of boxes.

"Kid, you alright?" he asked and he rolled over, starting to throw punches, but Tony easily caught his hands. "Same side. Guess who. Hi," he said as the kid let out a sigh of relief. "It's me."

"Hey, man."

"Yeah."

"That was scary."

"Yeah, you're done, alright? You did a good job. Stay down."

"What? I'm good. I'm fine."

"Stay down."

"No, it's good. I gotta get him ba-"

"You're going home or I'll call Aunt May. You're done."

"Wait," he tried as Tony got up and flew away. "Mr. Stark, wait, I'm not done," he tried to convince him, going to stand up before sitting back down. "I'm not. Okay, I'm done. I'm done."

"No kidding," Annabelle groaned as she pushed herself up. "That fall sucked. Whoa," she held up her hands as he prepared to fight. "I'm not gonna hurt you. That took as much out of me as it did out of you. Probably more out of me considering your super strength."
"Well, I took most of the fall."

She nodded. "True. Thanks for that."

"Peter," he stopped her as she turned to walk away.

"Excuse me?"

"My name. It's Peter Parker," he said again as he pulled off his mask.

"Annabelle Rogers."

"I figured. First time seeing you without the mask though."

"Minors and identity issues. You're gonna want to ice that eye though," she said as she saw it already started to bruise.

"Yeah, courtesy of your brother."

"Well, you are on the other team."

"Annabelle, I'm gonna grab you to get you on that jet," Sam's voice came through her comms.

"Well, it was nice meeting you, Parker. See you around." She gave him a small smile before raising her hand as Sam flew by and grabbed her. "You come here often?" she joked as they flew.

"Very funny. I'm gonna throw you on the Quinhet and Steve's gonna catch you.

"Wait, what?"

"On three. One, two-"

"Sam, wait!"

"Three!" She closed her eyes as Sam let her go and she started falling through the air while Sam went to engage Tony. Annabelle felt a rough impact, opening her eyes to see Bucky.

"I got her," he called back to Steve before closing the door and setting her down.

"I thought Steve was supposed to catch me."

"He was the only one who knew how to fly this thing." She shrugged. "And we figured the metal arm would hurt more." She only chuckled. Annabelle and Bucky rejoined Steve in the cockpit in time to see Rhodey flying to reach them. Steve increased his acceleration as Tony came over and Sam flew after them. Annabelle watched out the window there was suddenly a bright flash of light from Vision and Rhodey's body dropped out of the sky.
