Chapter 16: The End, Part One

Please read A/N at the end. Important information.

Elizabeth's P.O.V

You'd think he would have chose a larger car. But no. He went with a Volkswagen sedan. Of all the cars to choose from though.

I have my feet rested on the center console of the small car, the back of my knees on Bucky's lower thigh, and my head resting on the window. Sam called shotgun, Steve is driving, and there's minimal space back here.

Currently, I'm on the phone with Clint, trying to get him to rescue Wanda, though I haven't told him about that yet. "Look Eli, as much as I want to help, I'm retired now. I have cows to feed, crops to harvest," he tells me. "Hang on. You have a farm? With like, crops, and animals?" I ask.

I hear a sigh from the other end. "Yes. Animals and crops. And I have children to take care of," he grumbles. I roll my eyes. "Yeah, and I still haven't met them," I snort. "Just wait 'til their birthdays."

"You don't get to get them presents," he says. "Why? Scared of what I might get them?" I ask innocently. "Yes," he states plainly. "You'd get- you know what? I didn't call to discuss your children. Please, Clint? We could use your help," I beg.

"I'm taking Laura and the kids water skiing in Florida on Friday. We still have to pack," he complains. "Clint, I am so sorry, but you've left me with no choice," I sigh, regret filling me. "Tony has Wanda on lockdown at the compound. I've called her and she fears herself now. Tony and Vision have her fearing herself," I explain to him.

For a long time, there's no reply. I know he's thinking about it though, and I can feel his mind on the other side of the phone. "Let me ask Laura," he sighs. "Sweetheart, can I go rescue Wanda from the compound?... I don't know. I might be back... just take everyone and if I'm not there, I'm either locked away or still fighting... Thank you. She said yes," he tells me.

I smile at him through the phone. "Thank you, Clint. You just have to get her free. And Vision will most likely be guarding her, so stretch out and then create a diversion, something to draw him away," I instruct. "Ok, ok. I got it," he assures me. "Ok. I have to go. Call me when you have her," I tell him. I don't wait for a reply as I hang up.

"Clint's in. One down, no more to go," I announce. "Wanda?" Sam asks. "We're rescuing her. She has to be on our team," I explain. They nod and we pull up to a newer car. Could've chosen that car, I think to myself.

Sharon gets out of the car, as does Steve, and meet in front of our car. I don't listen in on their conversation because I'm nice. What? I am! "Can you move your seat up?" Bucky asks Sam. "No," he says plainly.

"Aww, Sammy. Are you still sour about him pulling off your wing? And taking your steering wheel?" I mockingly ask. He looks at me and glares.

Sharon and Steve kiss and Sam and Bucky smile approvingly. I, on the other hand, frown deeper than before. The last time Steve had a girlfriend was, well, never. He was to skinny back then, he got iced, he's been iced, he's been busy.

He puts our suits in the trunk and gets in. We drive to an airport and drive to the second to top of the car park and I see the only vehicle up here is a white van. We all climb out and wait as Clint and Wanda get out.

"Cap," Clint greets. I smile at Wanda when she looks at me. "You know I wouldn't have called if I had any other choice," Steve says, shaking his hand. I go into a coughing fit and he looks at me. Steve rolls his eyes and correct a himself. "I wouldn't have had her call."

"Damn straight," I mumble loud enough for Bucky and Sam to hear. They smirk at me and roll their eyes. "Hey man, you're doing me a favor. Besides... I'm on your team," Clint tells him.
