Avengers: New Blood (Peter Parker)/ A.M

17. New Allies

As Andria spotted the train that Steve was in, she approached it, slowing down to find in which wagon he was in.

When she finally found him, Ultron was punching him, before something pushed him aside.

It was something too fast to be seen which meant only one thing.

Pietro Maximoff.

As Ultron turned to him, metal bars blocked his way.

He turned back, seeing Wanda Maximoff controlling them.

"Please, don't do this," Ultron said.
"What choice do we have?" She said.

Obviously, she and her brother finally realised what Ultron wanted and turned against him.

Andria sped up, getting near a hole that was probably caused by a blast.

Pietro was standing there when Ultron sent a blast at him.

Jumping from the motorcycle in the train, Andria pushed him down just in time to avoid the hit.

As they fell, she landed on top of him, their faces inches apart.

"You know, when you said you'd put me down, I wasn't expecting this," he joked, his hands still wrapped around her waist from the fall.

Naturally, Andria would just get up and keep fighting, ignoring his attempt to flirt with her again.

However, there was something about this boy and the way he said it, that just made her smile.

"I lost him. He's headed your way!" Steve said to Natasha through the communicator, making both Andria and Pietro stop staring at each other and get up.

The blast turned out to have hit the train's driver, making the train lose its course and get on the road.

"Cap, you see Nat?" Clint asked from the communicator.
"If you have the package get it to Stark! Go!" Steve said.
"You have eyes on Nat?"
"Go!" Steve shouted and Andria saw from the train's window the Quinjet leaving.

However, she couldn't spot Natasha anywhere.

"Civilians in our path," Steve said to Pietro who ran out of the train, rushing to remove the people at the street away from the train.

"Can you stop this thing?" Steve asked Wanda, as both he and Andria turned to her direction.

Using her powers, Wanda managed to slow down the train and eventually stop it a few feet before it hit a building.

People started to get out of the train and so did Andria with Steve by her side. They spotted the twins and headed their way.

Pietro was breathing heavily, while Wanda had a worried look on her face.

"I'm fine. I just need to take a minute," he said, while laying back, supporting himself on a wall.
"I'm very tempted not to give you one," Steve said.
"Steve. They helped," Andria stopped him.
"The cradle. Did you get it?" Wanda asked immediately.
"Stark will take care of it," Steve answered, but Wanda's face fell.
"No, he won't."
"You don't know what you're talking about. Stark's not crazy."
"He will do anything to make things right," she said.
"Stark, come in. Stark. Anyone on comms," Steve tried to reach the others through the communicator, but no one answered.

"Ultron can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it. Where do you think he gets that?" Wanda said again.

Steve turned to Andria in a way like asking her what to do.

"Maybe, she's right. I mean, Tony created Ultron trying to do something right. Who tells us he won't try again?" She said.

"Fine. Then we need to move and get back to the Tower as soon as possible," Steve said, heading the other side.

"Thanks for helping us over here," Andria turned to the twins.
"Thanks for saving my brother," Wanda said, while Pietro stared at Andria with his usual cocky smile.

"Well, considering he had pushed me the first time we met and you had messed with my friends' minds, let's just say that this is the end of our hatred and the beginning of a new alliance," Andria said with a smirk.

Wanda smiled and followed Steve, having Andria following suit.

"You know, I might have pushed you, but you kicked me," Pietro said jokingly, while catching up to Andria.
"Yeah, well, I couldn't risk having you pushing me again."
"I wouldn't have. I mean, I didn't push you the second time, did I?"
"I wonder why?" She asked sarcastically.
"Well, let's just say that I push only those I don't like. And clearly...you're not one of them. And this is a statement."
"What can I say? I've got to hand it to you...You clearly know how to make a statement."
"It's one of my many talents," Pietro joked again.
"Yeah, that and flirting the worst moments possible," Andria said and sped up, leaving him behind.

He got in front of her with his superhuman speed, though, and stopped her, extending his hand for her to shake.

"Let's try again. I'm Pietro," he said with a smirk and Andria shook her head, chuckling.
"Andria," she said and gave her hand which he actually brought close to his lips and gave a soft kiss.

Andria didn't expect that so all she managed to do was chuckle again, before Wanda's voice snapped both of them back in the reality.

"Hurry up, lovebirds!" She said and Pietro rolled his eyes, but followed Andria who had already left.
