Alone

25: Airport Battle

I walked with Sam and Bucky to the inside of the airport. We all stopped where we could see Steve, who faced Tony and Rhodes, Natasha then walked out reluctantly. After a couple seconds a man in a black cat suit jumped in. They all talked for a couple minutes when suddenly a guy with a blue and red suit swung in grabbing Cap's shield while sticking them together with some sort of substance. He waved and began talking, I noticed tony rolling his eyes and I giggled lightly. Then Tony proceeds to get angry at Steve. I looked away not wanting to see them fight. I turned to see Sam flying his drone around.
"We found it. The Quinjet is in hanger five. North Runway." Sam said over comms.
"I'll leave you two for now. Let me know if you need anything." I said to them. "Good luck." I said smiling now. They both gave me a smile, Bucky giving me a nod, they then stood up and started running towards hanger five. I lifted myself off the ground quickly to a hiding place where I could see the fight and not be seen. I watched as Wanda and Clint ran toward the hanger but we're stopped by Tony. They exchanged a few words before Clint shot at him missing then suddenly car surrounded by red mist fell on top of him. I looked to see my friends fighting one another I turned away not wanting to look at the chaos before me.
I then got a signal from Sam asking for help, so I quickly gathered the darkness and made my way to where his location showed. I kept myself hidden as to still remain a surprise. As I made my way over I heard the sound of a teenage boy, I quickly hid once I noticed the red and blue guy above them. I then looked down to see Bucky and Sam on the ground, Bucky's arm stuck to the ground by the same substance that the red and blue guy used on Steve, and Sam who's arms covered in the same substance.
"I got to impress Mr. Stark so I'm really sorry-" He said before I subtlety picked up a broken sign hitting him out of the building. "Hey what was that?!" He yelled before falling out of sight. I then lowered myself to Bucky and Sam. I used the darkness to take off the substance letting them free.
"That guy he sounded around my age." I said.
"He probably is, he sure acts like a kid, doesn't stop talking." Sam said annoyed, I giggled. "Thanks by the way." Bucky said with a smile on his face.
"No problem."
Suddenly a huge explosion was heard. Bucky and Sam ran out.
"Elizabeth come out!" Steve said over comms.
I took a deep breath, then lifted myself off the ground.

Peter POV:
I moved quickly shooting webs at different people, I still felt excited I mean I'm fighting the avengers! Suddenly a brown haired girl with dark mist surrounding her landed in between the fight, the dark mist swarming around everyone on my team, tossing us back.
"Aw crap." Mr. Stark said.
"Mr. Stark who is that?!" I said standing up. I looked at the girl. I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked.
"That's Elizabeth she's Wanda's little sister." Mr. stark answered.
"Woah." Was all I could say. Our team now started to line up, as did there's. She stood in the back next to her sister, they exchanged a few words before turning to us. "What is that black stuff?" I asked.
"Some energy, look Peter just focus."
"O-okay." I said. I stared at her, and I noticed she looked around my age.
Focus Peter, focus!
She then looked at me and butterflies filled my stomach, I felt my cheeks turn red, I was relieved I had my mask on.

Elizabeth POV:
I looked ahead at the team in front of us, all my friends all people I would call family, and I had done something I never thought I'd do, use my abilities to hurt them, to fight them.
"Good entrance." Wanda said not turning her head.
"That was awesome!" Sam said giving me a thumbs up.
"Yes thank you." Steve said as well.
"Thanks thought I'd show off what I had been practicing." I replied trying to sound proud of myself but inevitably feeling guilt. It was true I had been practicing gathering the darkness and once landing on the ground having it throw back my targets, and I had successfully done that only on people I cared about. I shook my head ridding my thoughts and caught the red and blue guy staring at me. I looked in his mind closing my eyes as I did. Peter, or Spider Man, a boy my age, I could sense the excitement in him. I left his mind when the sound of Sam's voice could be heard.
"What do you we do now?" Sam asked looking at Steve.
"We fight." Steve replied, which enabled us to start walking forward.
Slowly we picked up our pace and soon we were running. The other team as well started running. Wanda pushed herself in the air, heading towards vision. I looked ahead to see the Spiderman heading straight towards me. Suddenly he began to shoot webs at me, but I used the skill Nat showed me to avert the sticky substance coming out of his hands. As i ran towards him he shot more webs, when I got to him i kicked him making him land in his back. He quickly got up, he shot two more webs before I gathered the darkness tossing him back. I then turned my attention toward the Rhodes putting a shield up from his taser bullets shielding Bucky from the shots. I turned to see Wanda fighting Spiderman lifting the ground up towards him. I saw Cap fighting Tony and I helped him by tossing tony back. I then ran towards Natasha who had just been thrown by Wanda, she quickly stood up.
"Hey." She said with a kind smile.
"Hey." I said, we both stood in fighting positions.
"Let's see how much you've practiced." She said as she swung a punch but missed, we fought for a couple seconds before I noticed the black-panther running towards Bucky with his claws out. I then quickly gathered the darkness tossing Natasha back and stopping the claws from touching Bucky's throat. I then threw him into a metal wall. For a couple minutes I made my way around fighting, I turned to see Cap fighting the Spiderman. Spiderman swung around but was kicked back by cap. He then threw his shield at the bars holding up the large box, making it fall on top of him, Spiderman caught it holding it up above his head. Cap then ran off towards Bucky. I quickly lifted myself off the ground and landed in front of Spiderman, who still held up the metal box.
I smiled at him "you need any help?" I asked.
"Uh yes please." He said, I then gathered the darkness lifting it up, he moved out from under it, I then set it down and turned towards him.
"Thanks, I'm Spiderman by the way." He said putting his hand out. I smiled and shook his hand.
"I'm Elizabeth." I replied.

Peter POV:
There she was standing right in front of me, with a smile on her face. She was just so beautiful. I almost forgot about the fight going on.
"Hey so I have to fight you now." She said with a slight smirk on her face. Her accent lightly coming through in her words as she spoke them.
"O-oh uh right ha I almost forgot." I said. But I'd didn't want to fight, I just wanted to get to know more about her. But I got in a fighting position, so did she. She began to kick and punch and I deflected some before taking a couple to the chest, I had almost fallen back. We went back and forth fighting.
"Come on American boy I'm going easy on you, I bet you can do better than that." She said  with a smirk on her face as she deflected my webs. So i began to fight harder, I thought I could impress her if I beat her in this fight. All of a sudden the tiny guy had grown big. And we stopped fighting.
"Holy shit!" We yelled in unison.
He held onto the War Machine while laughing. I turned to Elizabeth to see her smiling at the huge man before us.

Elizabeth POV:
Scott now threw Rhodey, and Spiderman ran after him, shooting a web to keep him from hitting the plane.
"Not bad Spiderman!" I yelled before lifting myself in the air and landing next to Wanda, who picked up trucks to stop Rhodey from getting to Cap and Bucky. I then looked quickly to see Vision using the stone to cut the tower making it fall. I quickly gathered the darkness and held it up, keeping it from landing on Cap and Bucky. I fell to my knees slowly trying to keep it up, but a piercing sound suddenly rang in my ears. I screamed letting go of the tower to cover my ears. My scream rang through airport making the ground shake and the buildings begin to fall.
"Rhodey stop!" I heard tony yell. And the sound stopped, and my screams stopped just before desolating the airport.
I collapsed on the ground tears threatening to run down my face. I looked to see Scott laying on the ground, as well as everyone on our team, Vision comforting Wanda. We had lost, I hoped Steve and Bucky made it out. I looked at the destruction we all had caused and a painful realization that this was the end of the team, of the Avengers, of my family. I looked away as the tears became heavier. I can't lose them, I can't lose anyone else. I thought as the memories of Sokovia and my parents flooded my mind. I held onto my necklace as I held in the tears. I felt a hand on my back and I looked up to see Spiderman.
"Are you okay?" He asked quietly as he kneeled down next to me. I sat up not wanting lay on the ground, my head ached due to the power I had used.
"I-im Fine." I said, not sounding convincing. "I'm fine." I said again trying to convince myself this time. Spiderman now collapsed onto the ground, sighing as he did, and held onto his stomach. "Are you okay?" I asked now.
"Yeah, yeah just you know tired." He said sounding a little out of breath. "My name is Peter by the way." He said turning to look at me.
I smiled at him "nice to meet you peter. Where are you from?" I asked.
"Queens, New York. You?" He asked.
I hesitated before answering, "Sokovia."
"Oh, where do you live now?" He asked.
"The Avengers facility,"
"And you have sister as well, do you have any other siblings." He asked.
I stopped thinking of Pietro sand whether I wanted to talk about it. "No just the one." I said my voice sounding weak. Peter was about to say something when Natasha walked up to us.
"Did they make it?" I asked as I looked up at her. She smiled and nodded her head. I sighed in relief. She walked away towards Clint.
Peter and I sat silently next to each other for ten more minutes before the sound of sirens rang through area. Peter stood up, and put out his hand. I grabbed it standing up as well, he held onto my hand for a couple seconds before letting go.
"We should hang out sometime." He said. I looked past him to see the armed swat teams flooding in.
"I don't think we can." I said.
"Why?" He asked sounding disappointed.
"I'm not going to be able to leave my cell." I said.
"What-" he stared before being cut off by the swat team.
"Elizabeth Maximoff put your hands up and lower yourself to the ground now!" They yelled as they aimed their guns at me. I did as I was told. They hand cuffed me and stood me up.
"Wait what are you doing?" Peter asked no one in particular. "You-you can't take her." He said.
"Listen kid you don't understand how dangerous she is. She has committed a felony, and look around at the destruction she caused." The head of the swat team spat. I flinched at his words. We began to walk now towards the bullet proof trucks, I looked back to see Peter staring at me as we walked away.

Peter POV:
I watched helplessly as she was taken away. I wanted to do something but I knew if I did I would be taken to where she was heading. Anger fumed in me as she disappeared. I kicked a piece of dibre next to me.
Mr. Stark now landed next to me.
"Hey kid-" he started before I cut him off.
"Where are they taking Elizabeth?" I asked.
"Someplace far." He said, sorrow in his voice. I didn't say anything else. "Come lets get you home."
