[1] Tigress || Wanda Maximoff ||

Chapter Ten

The rest of the team joins Thor and Vision as Pietro and Kat approach Wanda, "You good?"

"Yeah." Kat grabs Wanda's hand and squeezes it before letting go.

"Romanoff? You and Banner better not be playing "hide the zucchini."" Kat smirks at Stark's statement. while silently worried if his teammate is okay.

"Relax, Shell-head." Natasha drives a construction vehicle up and hops out, "Not all of us can fly." She joins the rest of the team, "What's the drill?"

Stark points to the Vibranium core, "This is the drill. If Ultron gets a hand on the core, we lose." The team turns as Ultron shows up.

"Is that the best you can do?" Thor yells out sarcastically, but it backfires as Ultron summons his army of robots to join him.

"You had to ask." Steve and Kat mutter at the same time.

"This is the best I can do. This is exactly what I wanted. All of you, against all of me. How could you possibly hope to stop me?" Ultron cockily states and Kat blows a rasberry. Ultron glances at her, knowing he needed to get rid of her.

"Well, like the old man said." Stark glances at Steve, "Together." They all fight off Ultron's attacking robots. Kat, Wanda, and Pietro work together to watch each others backs and protect the drill at the same time.

Vision throws Ultron out of the church, he uses his gem to create a beam coming from it. Thor summons the lighting and Stark uses his repulser rays from his suit and the three of them train their focus on Ultron. Ultron tries to fight against them, but he just keeps getting burned down. After a few minutes of them burning him, they pull their forces away and they look at him, as he stares back up at them.

"You know, with the benefit of hindsight...." Suddenly Hulk knocks him far away and the robots start to retreat by Ultron's command.

"They'll try to leave the city." Thor informs as everyone watches and destroys robots who try to leave.

"We can't let 'em, not even one." Stark gets on a comm, "Rhodey!"

James Rhodes approaches in his War Machine suit, "I'm on it." He taunts the approaching robots, "Oh, no, I didn't say you could leave. War Machine, comin' at you, right ..." Just then Vision flies in and helps to destroy the robots. "Okay, what?"

"We gotta move out. Even I can tell the air is getting thin. You guys get to the boats, I'll sweep for stragglers, be right behind you." Steve says and looks at everyone.

"What about the core?" Clint questions.

"I'll protect it. It's my job." Wanda steps up and Kat can't help but feel worried. Steve, Barton and Natasha leave while Pietro and Kat hang back. "Get the people on the boats." She orders but it goes over their heads.

"We're not going to leave you here." Kat announces for the two and Wanda holds her hand for reassurance.

"I can handle this." She blasts off an approaching robot, "Come back for me when everyone else is off, not before."

"Hmm." Both Kat and Pietro hum in defiance.

"You understand?" Wanda questions.

"You know, I'm twelve minutes older than you." Wanda and Kat chuckle.

"Go." Wanda turns to see Kat still there and Pietro waits to get Kat. "You need to help those people, I'll be fine." Kat looks down and then back up at Wanda.

"I hope you're right, I just have a bad feeling in my stomach." The twins know that Kat's gut feelings are always right.

"Help the people first, and then we'll deal with your feeling." Kat nods and Pietro races her off to the boating area, saving people along the way. When they arrive Pietro looks to her.

"What exactly is your feeling?" Pietro questions, worried for his friend and sister. Kat doesn't look up while speaking.

"I'm going to die," Pietro's breath is knocked out of him with those words.

"What do you mean?" Pietro can't believe that this will happen and is to stubborn to even think it could be true.

"I feel as if these will be my last moments, so take care of Wanda." Kat orders then walks away, Pietro stands there for a second until Kat calls out one more order. "Check the other side of the city!" Pietro sighs but runs.

Kat sees her father get onto one of the lifeboats, but notices he runs right back off as a woman is calling for a little boy. She follows him just in case he gets into danger. She watches as he lifts a boy up when she hears a jet.

She looks over to see a jet about to fire on her father and the little boy. Clint sees the jet and turns away so his body covers the boy's. Kat pushes herself to get to them, throwing a car to block the two. She stops when she feels a shearing pain all over her body.

Clint looks over when he doesn't feel anything go through his body. His world stops as he sees his eldest daughter that he just got back standing there, with bullet holes littering her body. Kat looks too him, "It'll be okay."

"No!" Clint yells out as she falls to the ground, lifeless. He cradles her body to his chest while crying out. Pietro speeds over and notices Kat's feeling was true. Tears roll down his face as he approaches, he gets to the little boy and takes him to the safe boat. Clint, along with Kat's body, joins him seconds later.

*^*^*

Wanda is fighting off robots when she feels a tear of a life force in her brain. The life force of one of the two people who matter most to her, but it was enough for her to die on the inside. She screams and falls to the ground as her powers fan out and disintegrate oncoming robots.

Wanda gets up and walks to where she sees Ultron fall. Wanda then finds the Ultron who looks over at her. "Wanda, if you stay here, you'll die." She has tear stains all down her face.

Wanda crouches next to him, "I just did. Do you know how it felt?" She uses her power to rip Ultron's core out of his body. "It felt like that." Wanda felt it as the city started crashing back to Earth. Vision flies in, picks up Wanda out of mid air and flies off with her as the city is being destroyed.
