Hazel's POV
The plan had worked perfectly. She was flying the plane in the opposite direction of everyone else. She felt accomplished, like she had done something. She pumped up her fist in joy. A hard bang landed on the top of her helicopter and Hazel put the chopper on auto. She carefully hopped on top of the helicopter and almost fell of due to the shock.
There, covered in ash and smoke coming from her body, kneeled Annabeth Chase.
Leo's POV
He was shook. There were a lot of things to be shook about right now, but the thing that he was shook about was the same thing that the assiasan beside him was angry about.
"Do you feel bad?" He asked, his head down. Bucky turned his head to face him. "What are you talking about?" Leo laughed, but not a joyous one. One full of sadness and pain and regret. Guilt.
"Xoe. Do you feel bad about killing her." Bucky's hand tightened into a fist. "I..." "I know that it wasn't your fault. I saw what that doctor did to you. But I also saw the pain in her eyes when you drained the life from them." Bucky turned his head. A single tear fell down his cheek.
"Look, man. I don't blame you and I never will. But those people out there that are trying to get you, they don't believe that you are innocent. They believe that you bombed Vienna and killed a king, they believe that you killed Xoe. And they believe that you should be punished for it."
Bucky was still and silent. What Leo didn't know was that this man had lost it all before and thought that it couldn't happen again. Then he met Xoe. And everything changed. Then she was pregnant and then there was Sasha. Sasha. That was it, that was the only thing left, the only remenant of his happy life. "I have to find my daughter." He said.
"Why?" Leo asked. "S.H.I.E.L.D has her, she's safe." Bcky shook his head.
"No, you don't understand. If S.H.I.E.L.D has her then Tony has her. He can get her at any time and hold her hostage. You don't understand, she's all I have left!" He slumped over and Leo carefully placed his hand on his back.
"Steve, we need to turn the plane around. Now." He said. Steve looked back to se Bucky slumped over and Leo comforting him. "Leo, we can't just..."
"We have to. Bucky's daughter, Sasha. S.H.I.E.L.D has her, Steve. You couldn't let the doctor have those other men like Bucky. If Stark gets her then he'll use her for bait. And Bucky will take it." Steve understood what he was saying, and he knew that it was the right thing to do anyway. It was just...
"Steve, I'm turning us around." He turned to see Hawkeye turning the helicoptor around. "What the hell, Barton?" He asked, walking up to the archer.
"Stark's tailing us. Wanda's with him." Steve looked out the window to see Stark flying toward the chopper. Wanda was flying beside him. "Percy..." "I got Wanda. Leo, you take Stark and Cap can help." Percy stated. Everyone nodded and headed for the back of the chopper. Hawkeye opened a hath and they jumped out.
Leo sprung straight for Stark, Cap following behind. Stark swerved and Leo fell off the side of his armor. He grabbed onto his leg and hoisted himself back up. "I don't know how we are gonna defeat him when neither of us can fly!" Leo yelled, catching his breath before being thrown of again. Stark was shaking off Steve and Leo when Hawkeye threw something at them both. The devices attached to their backs and two wings formed. "There, happy now?"
Leo smiled. "I can be a fire breathing bird!" Percy laughed. "Like a Phoenix?" He asked. Leo's face lit up. "Yeah! Neo name, I'm calling myself, Phoenix!" Stark laughed. "Yeah, good luck with that, kid." Before he shot him with a beam that knocked him down a little.
Meanwhile, Wanda landed on the chopper and stared heading for Hawkeye. "Clint, give up." She said, holding a ready blast of red chaos magic at his head." He didn't move. "Clint?" She said, stepping closer.
"Sorry, Wanda. Clint's not here." Percy jumped up from the seat and shot her with a blast of water. She tumbled out the helicopter but was able to grab onto the side of the chopper before falling to her death. Percy felt bad that he had thrown her off the helicopter and ran over to see if someone had caught her. He was greeted with a hand pulling him over the edge. He yelled and looked beside him. Wanda hung there, holding onto the back of the chopper. "What the hell Wanda?"
"Cap hit me with his shield and you tried to kill my boyfriend!" Percy narrowed his eyes at her. "Boyfriend, Vision is your boyfriend? He's not even a human!" Wanda frowned and hit Percy with a small blast of magic and he almost fell to his death.
"Wanda, stop!" She stopped and looked at his sea green eyes. "I'm sorry." Percy laughed. "A little late for that. Eventually the chopper will go off of auto and without controls, we'll plummet to our deaths." Wanda shook her head. "Clint can fly us." Percy laughed. " I saw what you did on that ship near Wakanda. You can control us if you wanted to. I wasn't about to let Clint go through that again and I especially didn't want you to use him to fly the chopper."
Wanda rolled her eyes. "Okay, fine. Let's say that we make it out of this alive. Will you ever trust me again?" She asked. Percy laughed. "Wanda, I always trusted you. I call you a friend, and at one point, I thought of you as maybe a bit more. But you think because Jason is fighting on the other side that we aren't friends anymore? We've been through to much for that crazy friend shit." Wanda smiled.
"So we are friends?" Percy smiled. "I guess." Wanda leaned in and kissed him. The kiss was strained. Maybe because they were hanging from a helicopter. "Wanda, what..." She held up her hand and smiled. "We need to let go."
"What?" He asked, looking at her with wide eyes and an expression that read, are you crazy?
Wanda replied, "If we fall, then Stark will want to catch us. It will give your team time to get to the base and save the men. Plus, Isabelle and the other kid went after Barnes' kid, so Leo can get her." Percy thought for a second. "If this goes wrong and we die, I just want you to know..."
Wanda kissed him again, and with their eyes closed, she used her magic to break their hold on the helicopter and they fell.
