I help Tony activate Jarvis as Bruce plugs wires and tubes into the cradle.
"This isn't going to end well." I mutter, not wanting Bruce to hear us.
"You don't know that." He mutters back.
"When will you come to realize that I know everything?" I question lightly. He chuckles bitterly before walking away from me.
"Do not follow me!" Tony shouts out, making Bruce pop his head out from behind the cradle.
"Guys, what's going on? Are you fighting again?" Bruce shouted over to us, sounding tired of our bickering. I start following Tony.
"You're following me!" He shouts. I grind my teeth
"I know I am!"
"I told you not to."
"I know you did!" I follow him to a tablet in the risen section of the lab, the tablet he uses stands right in front of the cradle.
"What's goin on, guys?" Bruce asks desperately. I smile kindly at him.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." I say before I turn back to glare at Tony who's typing away on the tablet.
"Why did you follow me?" He asks, being quiet again. I scoff.
"Because the last time I didn't watch you like a hawk, we created Ultron." I remind him. I see him roll his eyes but he has no more to say on the subject as he doesn't respond but instead, types faster.
"This framework is not compatible." Tony says to us, minutes later.
"Oh look! You already messed up," I say before I hip check him away from the tablet so I can start fixing it. "Now let me do what you cant, Stark. Like always." I smirk.
"The genetic coding tower is at ninety-seven percent. You have got to upload that schematic in the next three minutes." Bruce says. I nod along.
"Yeah, Yeah. What do you think I'm doing?" I ask.
"What Tony can't?" Bruce jokes. My head snaps up to look at him in shock and amazement when I see Steve and... Pietro. And Wanda. Walk into the lab.
"I'm gonna say this once." Steve starts.
"How about non-ce?" Tony snaps back. I hold up a hand that he quickly high fives.
"Shut it down!" Steve yells.
Pietro and I make eye contact. He takes a step forward but I shake my head, looking around at the other people here.
"Nope, not gonna happen." Tony says. I've stopped working at this point, too surprised he's actually here.
"You don't know what you're doing." Steve scolds.
"And you do? She's not in your head?" Bruce speaks up. I finally notice how stiff he looks. It is her fault he did all he did. Why people hate him now...
"I know you're angry." Wanda tries to say. Bruce laughs despite himself.
"Oh, we're way past that. I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade." Bruce threatens. A small smirk plays at my lips but I hold it back. For Pietro. I look over at him and notice he's taken a few more steps towards me. I shake my head no, trying to be subtle. He merely grins devilishly and places his hands behind his back.
"Banner, after everything that's happened..." Steve tries to talk.
"It's nothing compared to what's coming!" Tony yells, interrupting him.
"We don't know what's in there!" Wanda shouts back.
"This isn't a game!" Steve shouts.
Pietro sighs as he looks at me for a moment before the whole world goes in slow motion. I watch as he runs up behind me, weeding his arms around my waist in order to mess with the computers.
"I don't like to be deprived of you, draga mea." Pietro says lowly, kissing me on the cheek. He starts running down the stairs, quickly unplugging the cradle when suddenly the whole world is at normal speed. My jaw drops at What just happened. He kissed me! On the cheek, but still! I exhale deeply, needing to place my hands on the desk before I realize everyone's shocked expressions.
I always seem to forget that for some reason, I'm the only one that can see him moving as fast as he can.
"No, no. Go on. You were saying?" Pietro says, sending a smirk my way before looking at an alarmed Tony. The machine was beeping very annoyingly.
I heard a gun shot and watch as a bullet quickly shoots up, just in front of Pietro's face. He instantly falls through the glass floor.
"Pietro!" Wanda and I shout in sync. Tony and Bruce send confused looks my way but I ignore them and race down to see Clint standing in front him him.
"What?" Pietro asks, confused and jumbled.
"You didn't see that coming?" Clint asks with a shit eating grin plastered on his face. The machine beeps louder.
"I'm rerouting the upload." Tony announces for some reason. Making Steve throws his shield around the room, hoping to damage something. Tony summons his iron man arm and blasts Steve to the ground.
Wanda starts to move when Bruce puts her in a choke hold, not adding any pressure.
"Go ahead, piss me off." He mumbles. I shrug. She deserves it.
Clint races upstairs, ready to fight as Tony continues to put his suit on. Tony and Steve hit each other, knocking each other out as Steve hits the floor and Tony goes through glass. I just stand there. Watching. I sit down and look at a groaning Pietro.
"How're you doing?" I ask sweetly.
"Perfect." I says, his voice strained as he smiles up at me. I smile back and wave.
"Hi, I'm Casey." I finally introduce myself.
"Casey?" He questions with furrowed brows. I nod. He smiles again. "I like it."
I look up, just in time as Wanda uses her magic to push Bruce off of her before blasting him back with her magic. Thor slides in, jumping on top of the cradle. He holds his hammer up, summoning lightning.
"Wait!" Bruce yells but the Lightning's too loud. Everyone looks at shock as Thor travels the lightning into the cradle. I look over to the computer to see he's putting too much power into it. But he keeps going. When he thinks it's enough. He stops.
Everyone's silent for a few moments, waiting to see what happens.
The cradle blasts open, shards flying everywhere as whatever was in the cradle jumped out on top of it as the blast knocked Thor off. I look up to see he's all red with some grey and a yellow gem of some kind in the middle of his forehead. We all stand there, looking at him as mist falls around him. He looks up, turning his head to look at each and every one of us before his gaze falls on Thor.
He almost instantly lunges at him but Thor throws the red thing that looked like a red and sliver and yellow human, toss his body, through a window and into the room where we had the party. The room that has now thankfully been picked up and cleaned by yours truly. I swear if that place gets messy again...
The red thing stops itself before it can go through another window, making me sigh in relief. We all watch as it just floats there. Staring at its reflection. Thor flies in, Steve jumps in, and the rest of us make our way. Before I go out of sight, I see Thor holding a hand out, a sign telling everyone to keep behind him as we don't know what the red thing is going to do, or what it wants.
A/N:
Translation: draga mea = My sweet
Now I know that's Romanian. But sokovia is a fictional place and I know the winter soldier and black widow have some ties to Romania or Russia, I think. I know the winter soldier does because of his trigger words. So I just assumed like Hydra would be in similar places and that the twins would speak it. So please don't come for me. But if there's a more precise language to use- - like you know their accent and know where they're suppose to be from. I wouldn't mind fixing it. To make it accurate, ya feel?
I also love everything about this chapter. The kiss on the cheek part. The parts between Bruce and Wanda. Loved that in the movie. Like, YES! you go Bruce! Then the awkwardness of Casey as she introduces herself. The whole dramatic fight scene. Vision. It's my favorite. One of them at least.
