Rip My Heart Out (Avengers Age of Ultron)

Chapter 20

"We're landing in ten." Tony announced.

"Everybody get ready. We head out as soon as we touch down, got it?" Steve said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Wait. Something just happened." I said. I had kept my tracking open to the ship, watching for any disturbances. "Everyone just started running around and... They're there. Pietro and Wanda are talking to Klaue."

"Tony can you get us there any quicker?" Steve asked.

"No, we're approaching as fast as possible." Tony replied.

"Steve, I could-" I began.

"Emelia, I said no." Steve said.

I huffed. "Fine. Let me at least take a look inside the ship. I can tell you where they are inside and the best place for you to go in." Steve sucked in a breath, ready to protest.

"They won't even know I'm there." I focused on the spot behind Steve, teleporting myself without actually being physically there, like I had done before while tracking the Avengers around Stark tower. "Put your hand behind your back and hold up some fingers." I commanded.

Steve obeyed, curious. I could see it, as if I was there, but no one could see me. "Five." I said. Steve looked behind him, then back at me with wide eyes. "Two, one, four, five, one, three, two. Do you believe me yet?"

Steve rolled his eyes. "Go. But don't let anyone know you're there."

"Already there." I said. "Ultron just broke through the window of Klaue's office. You should see the look on his face. He practically just-"

"Emelia, focus." I heard Steve say from the quinjet.

"Right, sorry." I walked away from Ultron, quickly making my way around the ship. "Alright, looks like there is an entrance on the back of the ship, just three guards here. And then there is the main entrance on the south side of the ship, where there are... seven guards. Both entrances are isolated enough to enter and take out the guards without being noticed."

"Pietro, Wanda, Ultron, Klaue and one of his men are heading to look at the vibranium on the second floor of the ship. There's a bridge in the dead center that connects the south and north sides of the ship. That's where you will meet him." I finished, bringing my mind back to the quinjet completely. The ship was landing, and everyone was getting ready to leave.

There was a digital projection of the ship in the center of the room where the map once was. I quickly pointed out the entrances and where Ultron was before everyone departed. Tony slapped a hand to my back as he was leaving. "Good job, kid."

I smiled, though he was already gone. Only Bruce and I remained.

"So, what do you usually do while they're off saving the world?" I asked, trying to fill the silence.

"Hope I don't hear the words 'Code Green' mostly." Bruce replied, rubbing his hands together anxiously.

I nodded solemnly. I knew all too well what it felt like to be afraid of what you're capable of.

We sat in silence for a few moments. I tracked the team's movements as they plowed through the guards at the doors. Simultaneously, I kept an eye on Pietro and Wanda. I tapped my foot as the team moved into position.

"Oh my god!" I burst out suddenly, making Bruce jump.

"What? What happened?" He asked anxiously.

"Sorry, nothing. They're all fine. Ultron just... cut off Klaue's arm. He's a monster." I said quietly.

Bruce scoffed, which made me smile. "No offense." I said.
