"I thought you would've understood." Tony says as he shoots at me, "I thought you would've listened." I reply almost dodging the kick he sends my way, I catch myself and then freeze his metal arm, he uses a laser to thaw it and then comes for me again. "I'm sorry." I tell him before I blast him away.

"Hey are you ok?" I ask the kid as I notice him under the gnagway his arms and legs shaking, he throws it making me surprised and impressed, he was pretty strong. "I uh don't wanna hit you." He says sheepishly making me smile, "it's ok I'm not going to fight you, you're a child." I assure him, "I'm fifteen." He protests making me laugh, "like I said a child, I would never hit a kid." He shrugs, "mr Rogers didn't seem to have an issue." I laugh again, "yeah what can I say he'll fight anything that moves." The kid laughs at that. "I'm sorry but I've gotta impress Mr Stark." He says before webbing me up again. "It's alright." I shrug easily freezing it off of me. "Right." He says awkwardly. "Hey kid do me a favour, stay out of harms way." I say before I run from him trying to find a way to actually help my team get to the quinjet.

"We gotta go. That guy's probably in Siberia by now." I hear Bucky say over the radio, "We gotta draw out the flyers. I'll take Vision. You get to the jet." Steve replies, "No, I'll get vision." I tell him my eyes locking on the flying android. "No you get to the jet! Both of you! The rest of us aren't getting out of here." Sam disagrees, "As much as I hate to admit it, if we're gonna win this one, some of us might have to lose it." Clint adds, "This isn't the real fight, Steve."

"Alright, Sam, what's the play?" Steve asks, "We need a diversion, something big." Sam answers, "I got something kind of big, but I can't hold it very long. On my signal, run like hell. And if I tear myself in half . . . don't come back for me." My eyes widen at Scott's words, was he gonna tear himself in half?

"You're sure about this, Scott?" I ask worried I don't think he should do it, "I do it all the time. I mean once . . . in a lab. Then I passed out." My worry increases. He then begins to chant before all of a sudden Scott grows into a towering giant like he was really freaking huge. "I guess that's the signal." Steve says the three of us beginning to run toward the jet.

Vision then fires a shining beam of energy from his head and the control tower begins collapsing towards the entrance of the hangar. The red mist that Wanda had showed me before suddenly appeared and I turned to see Wanda struggling to slow its collapse especially as Rhodes descends behind her fires a sonic disruptor, she screams in pain her concentrate disrupted as she clutches at her head. I quickly blast Rhodey away from her whilst also using ice to make sure the boys got in to the hangar, I catch Bucky's eyes as the tower falls, I send him a smile to let him know it was ok before he's gone from my view.

"Hey Wanda are you ok?" I ask running over to the young girl, "I'm ok." She grunts in pain finding it difficult to move, "I'm ok." She assures me as I look down at her in worry. Then Scott goes back to regular size flinging Spider-Man as he falls, Wanda see what I'm looking at, "go." She says but I hesitate I didn't want to leave her like this, she was still just a kid as well. "Go." I look between the three and nod, "ok but here hold this on the back of your neck it will help with the headache." I instruct conjuring ice for her, "I will be right back." I say before running for Scott as I see Tony make his was to the kid. "Does anyone have any orange slices?" Scott asks wincing as his mask comes off, "I have ice." I offer helping him into a sitting position. "I know it's not the same but try sucking on these." I say conjuring him some ice cubes, "thanks." He smiles.

"Hey kid, this isn't exactly staying out of harms way." I say making him jump as I crouch beside him, "miss burns." He says with a bit of a grunt, "you can call me Rosalie, where are you hurt?" I ask him seeing him clutch at his side. "Oh your elbow." I notice it's dislocated, "I can fix it but it might hurt a lot for a second." I tell him gently taking his arm into my hands, he winces but takes a breath to ready himself. "Ok one two." I push it back in hearing the groan he tries to hold in. "And done, you did a great job." I say as I wrap some ice around the outside of his suit making sure it wasn't too thick as to hurt him. "Thanks Rosalie." He sighs in relief before holding his hand out, "I'm Peter by the way." I smile and take it.

"Well Peter you're very brave." I tell him making him grin well from what I can see where his mask was slightly raised. "Really?" He asks in slight disbelief, "yeah, you should be proud of yourself." I tell him I was being honest, he was so young and to be able to stand up against a bunch of adults that took guts. "T-thanks." I nod and pat his shoulder, "now do me a favour and stay down, you've done a great job but I don't want you going home hurt." I tell him wondering if his parents even knew where he was. "Okay."
