Avenger, With Wings?

Chapter 5

(The Gasman POV)

Max and Fang looked to each other for answers.

"Um, what do you mean?" Max asked.

"I just asked her, using my mind," Angel replied stroking her bear, "She said yes and bought her for me, I'm going to call her Celeste, that means heavenly right?"

"'Yes, it sounds like you influenced the..."

"What does influence mean?"

"It means you have an effect on someone or something, kind of like you made the woman buy you the bear."

"Celeste."

Max sighed, "Celeste, even if she wanted to or not, do you see what I am saying?"

Angel frowned, looking uncomfortable.

"Well, I really wanted Celeste, more than the whole world," she replied, relaxing her face afterwards.

Max went to say something but stopped because of Fang. She shut her mouth and nodded then waited for someone to talk. We all stood there waiting for someone to talk, silently challenging each other to begin.

"I don't need a toy," she muttered angrily.

"Did you want a toy Max?" I asked her, feeling confused. She shook her head in reply then remained quiet, making us quiet once again. Fang realized our boredom and direct us to start walking.

A few minutes later, Max muttered, "We are surrounded." Fang did a three-sixty to check if we were surrounded and nodded to specify that it was true.

"We're running out of time. We need to find this institute, discover what could have been our life. We shouldn't have gone to the toy store and waste time. We have to be serious about this mission," Max exploded, looking really annoyed. Fang went to say something but Max cut him off and paused.

"Of cause I'm not relaxing! We're running out of money and time, we have no idea where the institute is and we are constantly in danger!" Max hissed. I had no idea about what Max was talking about so I asked, "What's wrong Max?"

She took a breath and started, "I feel like I'm going to explode and also, three days ago, Angel heard that there was a place where there was more info about us, about our life. This could be what we always wanted."

"Cause we have a chance at finding about our parents?" Iggy asked.

"Yes," Max answered, "But now were here and weird things are happening and-" Suddenly, the hairs on our backs shot up.

"Hello kiddos."

Straight after the voice, two Erasers jumped at us from a doorway building.

"Run!" Max yelled, grabbed Angel and sprinted, the rest of us immediately sprinting away from the Erasers. The sidewalk was crowded and we had to make sure we dodge correctly otherwise we would hit someone.

"Cross!" Max yelled over the noise and we ran across the road trying not to get hit by cars. There was a loud thunk! and a cry of pain came after.

"Bike messager hit an Eraser," Fang said and I'm guessing we all laughed in the inside before starting to fight.

(Natasha/ Black Widow POV)

Before the flock's fight

"Rogers and Romanoff, you two can look north and east, Stark and Banner, you can go south and west," Nick ordered.

"What about me?" Clint asked.

"Um, you can take the air," he replied.

"Aye, aye captain," Tony joked and saluted which caused Nick to sigh again.

"Just go," he said.

"Okay guys, go grab weapons just in case but hide them so we don't seem like a threat," Steve told us then grabbed his shield and put it in a bag. I put two guns in the bag and hauled it over my shoulder. Tony left the room to probably get his armour while Banner followed him. Clint grabbed his bow and arrows, about 30, and walked to the quin jet. I followed Steve to his motorbike and got on behind him.

"Let's do th-" he started but got interrupted by Tony's loud car drive by.

"Let's go," I finished as his bike drove.

"There is a fight happening over there," I pointed out and saw that it was a big man fight a group of tall kids. Steve look at where I was looking and suddenly drove toward them. I realized why he did because they were the same kids as before. As we drove closer, three more men came to fight.

"Here Steve," I said, grabbing his shield from the bag and throwing it to him while grabbing guns for myself.

"Thanks," he replied and threw it to hit one of the men, knocking him out and came back to Steve. He stopped the motorbike and we jump off and ran over to fight.

"Clint, we found the kids but there in a fight with some men so we'll come soon," I said using the earpiece.

"Thanks Nat, I'll tell Nick th-" he replied but got cut off by a bone-crunching sound of the men morphing into weird wolf men complete with muzzles, huge canines and reddish eyes.

"What!?" Steve asked, just staring at them

"Don't waste time," I told him and started shooting at them.

"Okay," he replied and throw his shield, it got one of them to look except that it just ran at Rogers. I looked at the kids, the eldest one was struggling to be let go of. I was about to shoot it but another wolf thing jumped at me. I shot it but it didn't seem to do the thing, so I did a roundhouse kick. It pushed him back but still didn't stop it so Steve threw his shield and it knocked it out. I checked on the kids and saw that the wolf man was dead and they were checking on it.

"Do you want to go check on them?" Steve asked.

"Just go Rogers," I replied and jogged over. As I arrived, I heard the tall dark-haired boy say, "So he was five."

The eldest girl nodded, "Made in November, year 2010, number seven of a batch. They're not lasting long, are they. How much longer will we last? All of us six? Any of us six?"

"Need any help?" I asked coming closer.

"Who are you?" The girl jumped but then calmed one she recognized, "You're the girl from the fancy tower."

"Yeah, we need you to come with us."
