We pulled up beside Steve, Sam, and Steve's friend- Bucky- gravel crunching under the vans tires. Clint was the first to hop out, stretching like it was just another day on the job.

"Thanks for coming" Steve said

"Hey man, you're doing me a favor. Besides, I owe a debt." Clint said

Steve nodded, his eyes softening when he looked at Wanda and I.
"Thanks for having my back." He said

"It was time to get off my ass." I said, managing a smile.

"What about our other recruit?" Steve asked

"He's ready to go." Clint said, walking toward the van.
"Had to put a little coffee in him, but..."

He yanked open the door, revealing a dazed Scott lang blinking himself awake.
"He should be good." Clint added

Scott straightened up.
"What timezone is this?" He asked.

"Come on. Come on." Clint said, pulling him out.

Scott stumbled forward before locking eyes with Steve.
"Captain America." He extended his hand, shaking it like he'd just met Elvis.

"Mr. Lang." Steve said

Scott kept shaking his hand.
"It's an honor. I'm shaking your hand too long." He said, letting go.

"Wow! This is awesome! Captain America." He smiled.

Scott turned to Wanda and I.
"And you two. You're- wow. You're great!" He said

I bit back a laugh. We'd been in the same van for hours and he'd slept through the entire thing.

"Jeez. Ah, look, I wanna say, I know you know a lot of super people, so... thinks for thanking of me." He said awkwardly.

"Hey, man!" Scott said to sam.

"What's up, Tic Tac?" Sam grinned.

"Uh, good to see you. Look, what happened last time when I..." Scott started

"It was a great audition, but it'll. it'll never happen again." Sam cut in

I smirked.
"I'm so gonna use that against you one day" I said into Sam's head.

"Who told you?!" Sam's voice shot in my head.

"Nobody" I said

Steve's voice broke through.
"They tell you what we're up against?" Steve asked.

"Something about some... psycho-assassins?"
Scott said, frowning.

"We should get moving." Bucky said quietly, glancing around.

"Got a chopper lined up." Clint added.

Then- alarms. A sharp, mechanical voice echoed through the airport speakers.
Dies ist eine Notsituation. Alle Passagiere müssen den Flughafen sofort evakuieren."

"They're evacuating the airport." Bucky and I said in unison.

"Stark." Sam muttered.

"Stark?" Scott echoed.

"Suit up." Steve ordered.

We hit the runway just as Tony and rhodey landed in front of us, metal gleaming under the afternoon sun.

"Hear me out, Tony. That doctor- the psychiatrist,- he's behind all of this." Steve started

Before Tony could answer, a figure in a black cat-like suit flipped and landed beside him.

"Your highness." Steve greeted.

"Who the fuck is that?" I blurted out before catching myself.

Steve shot me a glare.
"Language" he said

"You've got the wrong guy. And there are five more super soldiers just like him. I can't let the doctor find them first, Tony. I can't." Steve said

Then nat walked up from behind us, slow and steady like always.
"You know what's about to happen. Do you really want to punch your way out of this one?" She asked

"I mean. This, or be put in another cage? Definitely this" I shrugged

Tonys sighed.
"Alright I've run out of patience. Underoos!" He called out before I could process what was happening.

A blur of red and blue webbed up Steve hands- and mine. And stanched Steve's shield.

"What the-" I started

The kid landed in a pose straight outta a comic book.

"Good job, kid" Tony said

"Thanks, you know I could've stuck the landing a little better it's just, new suit. Wait it's nothing Mr.stark. It's perfect, thank you" he stuttered

Kid? He sounded my age. Maybe fifteen.

"Yeah, we really don't need to start a conversation" Tony cut him off.

The boy straightened up.
"Cap-captain. Big fan. I'm Spider-Man" he said

"And you're- oh my God, you're the sapphire! Holy crap! Your powers are insane- like, how do you even-" he started

"Okay, okay, do the talking and fan girl stuff
later." Tony cut him off

"Right, sorry" he mumbled

Steve looked at Tony.
"You've been busy." He said

"And you've been a complete idiot" tony shot back
"Dragging Clint into this, taking Wanda and Elizabeth from a place they didn't want to leave, a safe place! I'm trying to keep!- I'm trying to keep you from tearing the avengers apart" he said

"You did that when you signed." Steve said calmly, too calmly.

"Okay. You're going to turn Barnes over and you're going to come now! Cause it's us! " Tony started

"We found it. The quinjets in hanger 5 north runway" Sam's voice cut in from our comms.

Steve raised his hands, and in an instant Clint's arrow sliced through the webs. I tore mine apart with a flick of my power.

"Woah!" Spider-Man yelp

"Alright Lang." Steve said, and suddenly Scott grew, knocking the kid off balance and taking Steve's shield.

"I believe this is yours, Captain America." Scott said, handing Steve his shield.

Then-chaos. Pure chaos.

Explosions. Webs. Iron. Magic. Everyone fighting everyone.

"Wanda, I think you really hurt Vision's feelings." Tony said

"You locked us in our rooms." Wanda shot back

"Okay, first, that's an exaggeration. Second, I did it to protect you." He said

"No." I said, voice low, sharp.
"You did what was best for you" I said

"Hey, man." Clint greeted

"Clearly, retirement doesn't suit you. You got tired of shooting golf?" Tony asked

"Well, I played 18 shot 18. Just can't seem to miss." Clint said.

He fired a shot at Tony, which he quickly dogged.
"First time for everything." He said

"Made you look." Clint smirked.

With a flick of our wrists, Wanda and I yanked cars from the lot, sending him to the ground.

"On to the next pair" i laughed, flying toward Sam and Bucky.

Spider-man was relentless- fast, sharp, too excited for his own good.

He webbed me up mid-fight.
"Not bad, kid" I said

"Thank-. Wait- kid? Aren't you my age?" He asked

"Well, technically no. Technically yes. What can I say? I'm a package deal" I smiled

"Are you on his side or ours?!" Sam yelled- as he was webbed up on the floor.

"Guys, we look. I'd love to keep this up but I've got one job here today and I gotta impress Mr.
Stark, so, I'm really sorry." Spider-man said

I snapped the webs apart and threw him out the window with a flick of my wrist.

"Wwahhhh!" He screamed.

I grinned, dusting myself off before freeing Sam and Bucky.

"You couldn't have done sooner?" Bucky muttered.

"No. I was enjoying the show" I shrugged

"Whatever" they mumbled.

We started running for the hanger when a beam of gold light slammed into the ground in front of us.

Vision.

"Captain Rogers. I know you believe what you're doing is right. But for the collective good you must surrender now." He said, floating down.

"What do we do, Cap?" Sam asked

"We fight." He said

I sighed.
"Not how I thought my week would go" I muttered

Both sides charged. And the world came apart.

The fight blurred- heat, metal, webbing, shouts.

"We gotta go. That guy's probably in Siberia by now." Bucky said over comms, as my vision slowly blinked back.

"We gotta draw out the flyers. I'll take Vision.
You get to the jet." Steve said

"No, you get to the jet! Both of you! The rest of us aren't getting out of here." Sam yelled.

"As much as I hate to admit it, if we're gonna win this one, some of us might have to loss it." Clint said, voice steady as ever.

"This isn't the real fight, Steve." Sam added

I was holding vision down with everything I had, but he phased through my magic and slammed his fist into my face.

Stars exploded behind my eyes.

By the time I came to, Scott was towering over us.

"I guess that's the signal." Steve muttered

"Way to go, Tic Tac!" Sam yelled

I forced myself up just as Steve and Bucky sprinted for the quinjet. Vision phased through Scott and blasted a watchtower to block the way-

But Wanda caught it, her hands trembling. I ran to help, magic surrounding my veins.

Then the weight fell fully on me. Wanda screamed covering her ears.

"Come on" I whispered, straining to keep the tower from collapsing. My arms shook. My head pounded.

They were almost there. Just a few more seconds-

An explosion ripped through the air. I was thrown back, ears ringing, vision spinning.

Through the smoke, I saw the quinjet lift off.

And as darkness closed in, I caught sight of someone falling from the sky-

Rhodey.

With what little strength I had left, I reached out, slowing his decent before everything faded to black.

At least they made it.
