Maev Barebone never meant to get entangled with humans and their (seemingly) silly fights, but when her neighbor-turned-friend in Bucharest is arrested for a crime he didn't comm...

MAEV AND JAMES stood side by side, fingers intertwined as they awaited the end of the world. Both were quiet, silently preparing themselves for the fight. They found comfort in the presence of the other, and James found himself drawing strength from the witch who had stood by him when he feared no one else would.
Sam jogged outside, his red-tinted goggles glinting in the sunlight. As he came closer to the pair an object cause the trio to shift their attention upwards. It was unclear what was coming towards them, but Maev knew it only meant one thing, the fight was finally here.
"Hey Cap, we've got a situation here," Sam warned Steve, watching the trajectory of the object with worried eyes. Just as it seemed the object would clearly fall on them a resounding boom echoed through the air as it struck the invisible barrier protecting the city causing Sam to flinch.
"God, I love this place," James mutters, smiling slightly as Maev hums in agreement.
"Yeah, don't start celebrating yet guys, we've got more incoming outside the dome," Rhodey reminds them, watching as bright flashes indicate more of the ships had landed. Even from miles away they could all feel the earth shuddering lightly from the impact.
It didn't take long for the troops to mobilize, James and Maev finding themselves standing by Natasha Romanoff and a few of the Dora Milaje. Maev's grip tightened on James's hand and he looked down at her, noticing the slight tug of worry pulling at the corner of her lips, the fear laced in the straightness of her spine. He gently pulled on her hand and she looks up at him, a silent question in her eyes.
"We'll get through this," he whispers to her, "like we always do, together."
"Together." She agrees, a determined look flashing through her eyes.
Their transportation pulls to a stop and everyone slides off, Maev following James to the front where Steve and the others stand. Sam and Rhodey fly overhead as two figures emerge from the treeline, approaching the barrier.
Maev watches Natasha, Steve, and T'Challa walk towards the two aliens before letting her gaze unfocus, choosing instead to place all of her attention of the power she'd been gathering all day. It shifted underneath her skin, colliding with the blood magic that rested in her veins, growing restless from being bottled up. She wouldn't be able to go much longer without releasing at least a little bit of her magic, but as the earth shakes, she reckons she won't have to wait much longer.
"What the hell." James breathes out in disbelief, watching the creatures frantically sprint for the barrier, slamming into it without reservation.
Maev frowns, tensing as T'Challa raises his hand to speak into his earpiece. Maev holds onto James's hand for a moment longer before letting go, watching as her ranju takes out his machine gun as the first creatures manage to make it through the barrier.
