The Hulk nods before letting out a thunderous roar that shook the ground I laid on. He one again, jumped up, rushing over to destroy more robots. I sigh I relief, closing my eyes for a moment.
When I open them, a gasp escapes my lips as I see Ultron fly in. Vision instantly blocks him from getting too close. I scramble up to my feet and watch them. Ultron and vision desperately trying to get hits in while the other blocks them. I start working quickly to get rid of as many robots as i can.
I destroy robot after robot, occasionally looking up at Vision and Ultron fighting.
I manage to look up after frying a few more bots, just in time to see Vision blast Ultron out of the church. I jump up on a ledge and watch as Thor walks out, blasting lightning to join in with visions gem. Soon follows tony as all three of them try and kill the main Ultron body.
I sense the mechanical wirrings behind me. I twist around, latching my hands on its torso in order to blast it, probably catching more attention then it was worth. I jerk my head over just in time to watch as Ultrons metal starts flying away from his body before he's nothing but battered. They stop and watch as he staggers into a standing position.
"You know, with the benefit of hindsight..." Ultron tries to say but before he can finish, Hulk runs over and smashes him far far away. Hulk turns to look threateningly over at Ultrons others bodies. They quickly flee. He growls, charging them again.
"They'll try to leave the city." Thor states the obvious.
"We can't let them. Not even one. Rhodey." Tony orders.
"I'm on it." Rhodey replies.
I once again have to watch as I cannot fly as Rhodey instantly starts blasting the robots. Vision quickly flies up to join him. I look over at Steve, seeing others doing the same as we await orders.
"We gotta move out. Even I can tell the air is getting thin. You guys get to the boats. I'll sweep for stragglers. Be right behind you." Steve orders.
"What about the core?" Clint asks.
"I'll protect it." Wanda offers. Clint looks over at her like she's crazy. "It's my job." She simply replies. Clint gives her a firm nod, getting ready to move.
"Wait!" I fall out for everyone around to hear. They instantly look over to me. I make my way to each of them, placing pressure on their chests, letting more air in, in hopes it will make up for the thin air. I nod at Clint once finished.
"Nat. This way." Clint orders. He and Nat go off, Steve going in the opposite direction.
I jump slightly as Pietro bursts in, smashing a bot.
"Get the people on the boasts." Wanda orders, looking at the both of us as she sensed my hesitation to leave her alone.
"I'm not going to leave you here." Pietro segues.
"I can handle this." She argues back. Another robot runs in and she instantly uses her powers to shatter it. We watch her. Pietro nods, clearly seeing she's capable.
"Come back for me when everyone else is off. Not before." She Instructs. Pietro grunts in annoyance and stars walking towards me.
"You understand?" She asks in a demanding tone. Pietro wraps an arm around my waist before turning around to look at her with a smirk.
"You know, I'm twelve minutes older than you." He says cheekily. She chuckles.
"Go."
Pietro shakes his head, picking me up and running off in what seems to be a random direction.
"Where are we going?!" I ask.
"To get you safe on a boat before I look for anymore stranglers." He says, not looking at me. I instantly scowled.
"No! I'm meant to help." I say, stubbornly. He merely chuckles.
"You'll help my peace of mind." He responds, seemingly having ended the conversation. How does he do that?
We run forward, seeing a boat a little ways in the distance. My ears ring and I instantly look up to see Ultron clearly, flying the jet and firing at rapid speed... at Thor, Steve, Clint... and a kid.
"PIETRO!" I scream, pointing at them. A look of panic crosses his face as he tumbles me under a car before moving as fast as I've ever seen him.
I wait with baited breath, not knowing what he could possible do in this situation. He runs and runs, faster than the jet.
My breath gets caught in my throat as he stops short in front of the shots fired, the shots aiming for Clint and the kid. I grunt out, my heart dropping to my stomach. All the bullets. All the bullets that entered him.
I freeze for a moment. It seems everyone has. My shoulders jerk down as I suddenly feel like I'm being drowned by cement blocks. My airways tightened that no powers could fix. A sob racks my body as it finally registers movement.
I quickly tumble out, watching as Pietro still stands in front of them, swaying as he tries to keep balance. Clint looks up, confused on why he isn't dead. Only to see him...
Pietro says something before he falls. I rush past Thor as he flies in the air, Steve runs next to me as we reach them. My knees snap, making me fall to the ground and by his side. I sob over his body, placing my hands along the bullet holes.
"No, no, no!!!" I scream through the cries. I faintly see Clint look up at Steve but I couldn't care less.
My fingers start buzzing and I have no idea what I'm doing but I can't loose this! I've lost too much! Wanda has lost too much! He can't just leave!
Not like this.
I yell from the back of my throat, raising my hands in the air as they ignite in a hue of blue. I scream, I scream loud enough for the whole flying land mass to hear as I smash my hands down on his body, my blue magic pulsing through his injuries. I have no idea what it's doing. I have no idea what I'm doing. But I'm going to save him.
I keep screaming. Using all ounces of energy I have into this! Through blurry eyes I see the kid he saved looked over at his foggy eyes... he'll be ok. He will! You'll be able to see him. Thank him. Just like I will...
I feel a spark of my soul ignite and I fall limp onto the ground. My head lulls over to look at him. Electricity. My suflete pereche.
I can only watch, completely unable to move as Steve picks up Pietro's still immobile body. Clint picks up the kid and they head to the boats. Steve rushes back over and carries me in his arms, an urgent look in his eye.
"You're alright. You're gonna be alright." He assures me. I couldn't care. All I could wonder was if I had failed. Did I? Had I failed him? Wanda..? Me...
Steve places me down next to him on the ground, telling me he was rushing to call the paramedics and get us both back to a better area to get treated. Does that mean I saved him?! Does that mean he will live... that's all that matters. That's all that I need to matter.
I look up into the sky feeling lightheaded and airy, soon sensing Clint lay on the seats next to us.
"It's been a long day." He whispers.
"You're telling me" I think to myself before I inevitably pass out.
A/N: AHHHHHHGGGJSNDBELSBDJEJ!
Okayokayokayokay! So lemme say something...
So when I planned this book... one of the scenes I constantly envisioned was this one. A way of her possibly saving him from dying. The way she did it, actually. And I quite like it. I believe it shows her powers and her understanding of them and how even she doesn't understand them. Because it's always been a separate part of her. But she just had to trust that the smarter part of her knew how to save him when she didn't. Like... they worked together? But this isn't saying her powers are another being inside of her. It's just saying that the stone that gave her, her powers, is stronger and more mysterious than literally anyone knows.
Then, while I was writing this scene I was like... shit. This is sad af. And the sadistic writer in me was like... should I just keep him killed? Should he just die?
But... then, I was like nah. I cannot do that to myself. I don't care that Pietro was literally only in this movie. I love him. And I hated seeing him die, even though it was for an amazing reason. So, I decided for her to save him. Or at least try ;) we'll see what I'm feeling. Not entirely sure yet :]
