The Dark Witch: Fallen (Avengers Fanfic)

Chapter 50

If there's one thing I know about myself, that's dramatic entrances.

The whole world could be caving and I would still find it in me to make a statement. It must be a Stark thing. That's the only explanation I could come up with. 

All in all, other than the fact that today could not possibly get any worse, I've been keeping a very close eye on the Walkie-Talkie, hearing information on the line so I would be the first to know what my team was up to. 

It's late morning and I can only assume that the guards would have already figured out I escaped. They're probably turning the compound upside down at the moment, but it was the least of my problems.

It wasn't hard figuring out where the others would gather. 

I didn't have to do anything fancy to find out where they were, the connection I shared with Wanda led me to Leipzig airport, somewhere in Berlin.

So of course, after riding the bike with godly speed and breaking a couple of laws in the process, I'm currently hiding out in the Airport terminal somewhere above the rafter of the roof.

I'd arrived earlier than any of them and decided to spend the time suiting up and gathering myself before doing anything else.

Whatever energy I'd expanded during my escape was obvious in the way I walked and felt.  

I was exhausted.

All this hiding and running away was catching up to me, speeding the process of the veins. As if the giant shadow of death looming behind me wasn't enough. 

"Alright, don't be a baby," I mumbled as I flip open the briefcase and rummaged around for the last purple vial. 

I didn't have enough power to stop them but with the serum, I may just be able to hold my own without worrying about my powers leaving me behind.

Slipping it into its injector, felt like a chore, but as I loaded the plug and stabbed it onto my thigh, I can't help but grunt at the intense pain. The purple liquid quickly quelled itself inside me, weighing my bones like lead.

I pulled it out and released a loud groan, as I lay on my side with my face on the ground.

A sense of something burning and biting began to crawl up my body, the fiery assault bringing my body into overdrive as it tries its best to cool out the fire the veins brought me.

I waited a couple of seconds, slowly counting down. When a few minutes passed and the pain dissipates, I sat up and pulled my sleeve, breathing out a sigh of relief when I notice the veins had stopped glowing. 

My last serum lasted a whopping a few days.

I can only assume this will last shorter than that if I was using my powers much more intensely than before.

"Okay, Lorelie," Standing, I reach for the rafter to stabilize myself with one hand while the other reach for the bandage around my neck, silently pulling it off in one move. "Get them to stop and hopefully don't die."

I swipe my fingers across my neck, feeling the bruise from the Winter Soldier's chokehold dissipate into a dull ache.

Already the serum was doing its job, halting the infection and allowing my abilities to heal my body.

This was probably useless since it's more than likely I'll get my ass kicked today.

What fun. 

I reach for the briefcase again, hand reaching for the monitor I kept tucked in here for emergencies. Already there's a brief change in energies around me. The others had arrived and were already fighting against each other.
