Lost in Time

Forty-Six

Elle moved back into the church, as the fight began. She knew this was a make or break situation, and she wasn't letting up. With Loki, Sam and Bucky being here, as well as her, they'd have a good chance... 'Fury, send in the back up..'.. She tapped her comm... 'He can pass through..'

'On his way...'... Was the reply.

'Let's trap them in!..'.. Elle called, sliding her staff back in her boot, and glanced to her left hand, where her sling ring sat. Focusing, she created a large enough portal behind Ultrons bots, and smirked, seeing some debris get pulled into it... Send them through! As many as you can!..'.. She shouted, as a red and green shield went up either side, creating a narrow path... 'Tony! How much is left?!..'

Tony spared a glance back to the hole as Friday scanned, then turned back, blasting as many as he could back towards the portal... '9%..'

Elle didn't stop, and made sure to quickly assess the others, if they needed help. As much as she hated the bastard, Elle didn't want anything else but her to kill him, so she tackled Rogers to the side to stop him getting hit, and rolled off, popping to her feet. She couldn't shield him, she was using all her focus on the portal and barrier right now.

'Uh, thanks..'.. She heard him, but flipped him off quickly.

'I really need you all to focus and push them back. I can't hold the portal for much longer..'.. Elle admitted, feeling her body ache.

They did as she said, and she watched with hope and a little bit of pride, as they worked together, sending Ultrons bots through the portal. She chuckled, seeing Hulk grab and toss bots through.

'Heads up!..'.. They all heard, and the team shifted out of the way, as fire rained down from above, sending more bots through the portal.

'Nice of you to join the party..'.. Elle tapped the comm.

'Wanted to make an entrance..'.. Rhodey calls back.

'You did. Ultrons run away somewhere, can you track him down? He can't get past the barrier..'.. She asks.

'On it..'.. She saw Rhodey double back and fly over the top of them.

It took another twenty minutes, but it was done, the last bot through the portal, and she closed it, almost dropping to the ground from how tired she was... 'We still need to find Ultron, but we're ok to take a moment..'.. She braced herself on her knee with one hand, and touched her comm... 'Fury, how are the civilians?..'

'A few serious injuries but mostly minors. Some have been declared missing, but until you give the all clear, we won't enter to search..'..

'Start shipping the civilians to the base, and set them up in the tents until the city is rebuilt and safe for habitation. Anything they need, take care of it, you have the funding..'.. She took a deep breath, pulling herself up to her full height and looked around at them all... 'What?..'.. They were looking at her, mistrust and anger in many.

'Who the hell are you?..'.. Rogers asked, his deadly glare really didn't suit him.

'Sergeant Grey. Next question..'.. She pointed to Nat.

'Who are you really?..'.. Nats gaze was critical and Elle just smirked... 'You're wearing a widows suit..'

'That I am. Belongs to an old friend..'.. She looked to Barton, gesturing to him... 'Your turn..'
