"Is That The Best You Can Do?"

Hulk came in smashing. Then behind him, there was Ultron. We all turned to him.

"Is that the best you can do!?" Thor yelled. Then a bunch of robots came.

"You had to ask." Steve and I said.

"This is the best I can do. This is exactly what I wanted. All of you against all of me. How can you possibly hope to stop me?" Ultron said.

"Like the old man said, together." My dad said and we fought against the robots. I threw fire at them. Ripping them apart. Burning the ones in my way. We saw Vision, Thor, and my dad. We saw Lighting and power rapidly hitting at Ultron. They stopped. Ultron started to talk but Hulk punched him making him fly. And he chased the other robots.

"They'll try to leave the city." Thor said.

"We can't let them, not even one. Rhodey." My dad called in Rhodes.

"We gotta move out. Even I can tell then air is getting thin." Steve said.

"I'll go to the carriers, and look for civilians that are still here." I told them and I went.

"Be careful." I heard my dad say.

"I will." I ran to look for civilians. I got a little girl. The fear in her eyes made me actually cry. I carried the little girl to the carriers. "I gotta civilians on the carrier."

"Get on it and leave." Dad said. I was sprinting to the boats until I was stopped by Pietro.

"Go. I'll meet you there." Pietro holds my cheeks of my face.

"I'm not leaving without you." I said.

"Crystal, I'll be right behind you. I'm going to see if anyone is left." He kissed my cheek. "Don't wait for me." He holds my hand and he put something in my hand.

"No! Not until you come." Pietro carried me and sped to the boat and left me there. "PIETRO!" I ran out and stop as I saw Clint.

"Get in!" He yelled at me, I turned around and I didn't see Pietro. It's been 7 minutes and he's still not here. I ran into the carrier.

"Where's Pietro?" I asked and Clint didn't answer. I saw Clint run off the boat. "Barton!" I jumped out of the boat and ran after him. He had a little kid in his arms. "Come on run!" Then I saw shotguns going off. "Clint!" Then I saw blue and silver running past. I felt a kiss on my cheek. "No!"

"Crystal!"

"Pietro! Clint!" I ran but Steve pulled me back. Then something left as it fell on top of me. "Pietro!" I cried. "No!"

"Thor, get her in the boats." Steve said.

"Let me go!" And I screamed. I felt the ground shake. "Pietro!" I got hold back by the guards. I stood there in tears. I saw them put Pietro's lifeless body on the ground. Clint walked by.

"Crystal, I'm so sorry." Steve said.

"He made me feel like I was something. Someone." He sat down next to me and I cried on his shoulder. Steve was sad, he held my hand and played around with it. I still had the item in my hand that Pietro gave me. It was a necklace with a blue and silver ring connected to it. This battle will change my life. I'm still scared even though it seems like I'm fine. I'm not. I'm scared.

At The Tower

Once we got to the tower, I sprinted past everyone, even my dad, who was yelling my name to see if I was okay. Then I got stopped by Clint and Steve.

"What is going on Crystal? This isn't you." Clint said as he put his hand on my shoulder, but I backed away.

"I'm scared," I whispered.

"It's okay to be scared." Steve told me.

"You don't get it! I don't want to scared. Today I was weak, I was terrified. Like I wanted someone like Captain America to come and save me! I want to be stronger than that." I yelled at them both.

"Everybody needs to be scared of something, kid," Clint said as he broke the silent moment.

"Well, I'm done seeing people die for a living. One day, I'll see either my friends die and I can't do anything about it! I'm scared if my own dad is next." I cried. Steve and Clint looked at each other and then looked at me.

"Kid, you can't save everyone."

"News flash, we're superheroes and that's what we do." I took a deep breath and look at the window of the tower.

"Crystal, take a nap or something. You need it." Steve told as I walked away. As I walked to my room, my dad stopped me.

"Honey, talk to me." I crossed my arms. "What's wrong?"

"I don't want to talk about it. Please leave me alone." I walked more father away, I heard him yell.

"Crystalline Andrea Stark!" I Just snapped back at him, still walking away. I went to my room and leaned against my room door. I fell down against the door and cried. I'm scared. "Crystal?" I quickly open the door and hugged my dad.

"I'm just scared. I hate being scared. I don't want to be. What happened today just scared me so much."

"Sometimes we need to hide it because people use it against us. It's also okay to be scared." He kissed my head. "Don't worry okay? I'm here." Later on that week, I decided to talk to Wanda. So I went to the facility and I knocked on her door. She opened her door and she froze.

"Crystal, what are you doing here?" She asked me. I took off the necklace and gave it to her.

"Here." I said to her and I walked away.

"Where did you get this?" I turned around as I saw her looking at the necklace.

"Your brother gave it to me. Well, he probably wanted to give it to you. It's yours anyway. So, yeah." I walked back to her.

"Come in." She opened her door wider and I went in. Her room looked amazing. "It was my mother's. Pietro found it when we were under the bed. He gave it to me, but I refused. I didn't want anything that reminds me of my parents. They died a tragic death and I don't want to think that." She put on the necklace on me. "It looked better on you than it looked on me." We both shared a shy smile.

"Wanda, no-" She shook her head. "What was it like? What was it to grow up with him? Living in Sokovia? Why did you volunteer to become a HYDRA lab rat?" And she laughed. We sat down on the floor.

"Growing up with Pietro was like growing up with family, you know."

"Actually, I didn't." I looked down

"Can I?" She asked me. She lifted her hands. "I can show you." I saw her red power going around her fingers. I nodded my head yes. Then I saw all the images that she and Pietro did and what I asked her, she had an image to show me.

"Seems you love the way you grew up."

"I did. What about you?"

"It's not great as yours, that's for sure."
