Alexandra

They continued to work until one of the aliens came crashing into the lab. "Keep working!" Shuri ordered. One of the guards began to fight with the alien, but he got closer and closer until they couldn't ignore him any longer.

Shuri grabbed her blaster and fired at him, but it didn't do much to stop him. He threw the guard and Shuri across the room and they fell. "Shuri!" Alexandra exclaimed. She and the alien locked eyes briefly before she engaged with it.

She fired one of her webshooters at the creature and tried to rip his weapon away from him. He tackled her to the hard ground below and she grunted in pain. She stuck her leg out and tripped him before he could go any further. "Stay away!" Alexandra practically screamed. She knew he was going after the stone in Vision's head.

Alexandra got back on her feet but the alien turned around and snarled at her. She scowled back. He threw the staff at her and she narrowly dodged it, but suddenly an electrical shock coursed through her body. She yelled out in pain and collapsed on the floor in a heap.

When she woke up, she noticed that the alien was gone, along with Vision, and that the glass was broken. She glanced to her left, Shuri and the guard were still out cold. She sighed and pulled her mask down over her face. "I'll be back later, Shuri." Alexandra then leapt from the window and towards the battlefield below.

She didn't know where Vision had gone, but she could see Natasha and Okoye fighting alongside each other up ahead. They were being ambushed by several creatures at once, and didn't see the two that were approaching them from behind.

Alexandra sped up and then quickly webbed one of the creatures backs. She pulled as hard as she could, flinging it at the other alien. They both squealed as they flew into each other. Alexandra couldn't tell if they had been knocked out or killed, but at the moment, she wasn't totally concerned with that.

She found herself standing next to the two women. Natasha glanced behind them at the two aliens Alexandra had taken down. "Thanks," She said.

"Yeah, don't mention it!" Alexandra replied. "Where's Wanda?"

Natasha looked around and then saw Wanda facing the girl that they had faced earlier at the train station. She pointed. "Over there!" She exclaimed just as Wanda was knocked to the ground.

The three nodded at each other and then ran in that direction, determined to help their friend. Alexandra approached from behind the alien woman, while Natasha and Okoye came from both sides.

"He'll die alone, as will you." The woman sneered at Wanda.

"She's not alone," Natasha said. The alien woman looked up and suddenly found herself face to face with Black Widow, Okoye, and Spider-Woman.

Alexandra grinned a little bit. "Not really liking your odds, but hey, all is fair in war, right?"

Okoye raised an eyebrow at the younger girl. "'All is fair in war'?" She questioned.

Alexandra shrugged, too high on adrenaline to be embarrassed. "Yeah, I'm not as good at the quippy one liners as Peter, I'm still working on it." She admitted.

"Enough talk!" The alien woman lunges herself at Natasha. They began to duel as Okoye ran up the side of the ditch and came around to help Natasha. Alexandra was behind the alien woman, whose back was facing her. She took this opportunity to fire several webs at her and yank her to the ground.
