Sokovia

Once the Quinjet had landed, the team split up. Pietro, Wanda, and I had separated to get the citizens of Sokovia evacuated. 

Wanda used her powers to control the minds of the citizens within her reach. She encouraged them to leave the city from their homes or work.

Pietro ran into a police station before shouting, "We're under attack! Clear the city, now!" No one moved, so he ran off. He came back with a shotgun and fired into the air. "Get off your asses."

As for me, I sat at the top of a cell tower. I connected my phone to the tower and got FRIDAY to send a signal to all electronic devices withing a 5 mile radius. The signal was an emergency evacuation message from the 'Sokovian Government.' Once the signal had been sent out, I climbed down from the tower.

Just as I reached the ground, Pietro had run from the police station to meet me.

"Did it work, dragă?" He asked me. People started leaving the buildings around us, bringing their families and phones with them.

"It seems so, P." I told him. He smiled at me before picking me up and running off to meet Wanda. 

She was standing by one of the bridges out of the city, helping people cross. The amount of people trying to leave left chaos in their wake. Pietro ran off to help direct traffic.

As I was about to help some people into their cars, a large group of legionnaires flew towards us.

"Get off the bridge! Run!" Wanda shouted at people. Pietro ran forward to fight some of the bots. I left the people I was trying to help as Wanda shooed them away from the fight. My eyes glowed blue and a tall wall of ice cut off the bots from attacking the citizens.

Suddenly, the ground started to shake. Wanda backed into the city, but I was busy fighting some bots. The ground beneath me started to crack. Pietro ran forward, picked me up, and carried me away from the edge of the city. 

FRIDAY's voice came in over the comms, "Sokovia's going for a ride." I grabbed Pietro's arm, and he locked eyes with me.

"Go with Wanda to the next bridge and fight the bots over there before they hurt the civilians." I told him.

"What about you?" He asked me.

"I'm going to find Steve. He'll know how to get the rest of the civilians out." I told him. Pietro nodded and ran off with Wanda. I took off running to where Steve was fighting some bots. I sent a blast of ice at them, and his shield ripped through their bodies. A group of about 15 bots flew up to us. One of them threw Steve into a car.

"Cap, you got incoming." Dad's voice came over the comms. Steve climbed off the car as I froze about 10 of the bots with a big blast of ice. He destroyed the rest with his shield.

"Incoming already came in." He told Dad. "Stark, you worry about bringing the city back down safely. The rest of us have one job: tear these things apart. You get hurt, hurt 'em back. You get killed, walk it off." Steve commanded the rest of us.

"Go find your boyfriend." Steve whispered to me. I blushed but nodded my head. I didn't have to run far to find Pietro who was breathing heavily. I put my hand on his cheek. He grabbed my hand with his, and our eyes met. He glanced down at my lips, but a group of legionnaires distracted us. Pietro ran ahead to meet them.

 Pietro ran ahead to meet them
