I'll Never Let You Fall (Book 3)

Chapter Ten

"Cas are you coming?" Steve demanded. I stood quickly and hopped past his outstretched hand I on to the platform, walking past him.

"Do try to keep up," I teased. I could hear him sigh and break into a run to catch up with me. We looked out across Seoul, scanning for any sign of Ultron or his henchmen.

"Two minutes, stay close," Steve demanded. With that, both of us sped into the building. I gripped his arm to keep him from getting hit by falling ceiling tiles. The smell of scorched flesh hit my nose.

"Ultron," I muttered and took off in the direction of the lab.

"Cassandra," Steve called chasing after me.

"Doctor Cho," I crouched beside her upon seeing her condition. Steve grabbed a rag and place it on her shoulder.

"He's uploading himself into the body," she panted.

"Where," Steve demanded. Before trying to run off again, she grabbed us both and pulled us down again.

"The real power is in the Cradle. The gem," she winced, I looked down before deciding to unleash the full extent of my powers. I was more than just weather, I was a healer and healers don't let people die. Do it Cassandra I willed myself and began to ease Doctor Cho's pain. "It's power is uncontainable. You can't just blow it up. You have to get the cradle to Stark."

"First we have to find it," I told her as her breathing rate returned to normal.

"Go," she whispered sending Steve and I off. We ran out of the building and towards the streets.

"Want to tell me what you did in there?" Steve asked as we both kept running.

"I figured my full powers had been unused long enough. Time to be an Avenger," you gritted your teeth.

"I got a private jet taking off across town," Nat's voice came over the coms. "No manifest, that could be him."

"There," Clint came in right after Natasha, "it's a truck from the lab. Right above you, guys. On the loop by the bridge. It's them. You got three with the Cradle and one in the cab. I could take out the driver."

"Negative," Steve snapped, "That truck crashes, the gem could level the city," he noted as we climbed a ladder to the highway. I looked and smiled.

"You know I quite like the view from this angle," I teased laughing slightly.

"This really isn't the time Cas," Steve called me out.

"Maybe not," I shrugged as I swung into the road, "but I should get points for trying to diffuse the tension of possibly eminent death."

Steve shook his head with a slight smile and spoke to all of the group, "we need to draw out Ultron." We leaned over the bridge watching the truck go underneath.

"Want to race?" I offered taking off and jumping into the truck. Steve followed after and fell on his back. I stayed on top of the truck while Steve worked his way to the doors.  The door Steve was hanging onto was flung open by a shot. "Steve," I shouted. He swung the door around and it was blasted of its hinges and he landed on the loading dock part of the truck as it scraped against he concrete.

"Well he's definitely unhappy," Steve yelled in a snarky tone. "I'm going to try and keep him that way."

"You're not a match for him Cap," Clint said gravely.

Steve sighed in disappointment, "Thanks Barton."

"Yay! Team encouragement," I sarcastically cheered waving my hands. Ultron came out and shot Steve back. I charged towards him, fire blasting from both hands and he shot me back into a concrete pillar with a groan. I got down cracked my neck and began running after him. I caught up and swung myself back onto the truck next to Steve.
