Chapter seventeen:
We gotta move out, Steve Rodgers said. Even I can tell the air is getting thin. He nodded at me, Natasha Romanoff, and Agent Barton. You guys get to the boats. I'll sweep for stragglers, and I'll be right behind you. Said Steve Rodgers.
Agent Barton motioned towards the core. What about the core? He asked.
I'll protect it. Wanda said. Agent Barton snapped his gaze at her. It's my job. Wanda said.
One you're not doing it alone, I said. The team looked at me like I was crazy. What? It's better to have two people guard this thing. I told them.
Agent Barton looked at us before looking at Natasha Romanoff. Natasha this way. Agent Barton said.
Steve Rodgers patted my shoulder. Stay safe, kid. He told me..
I nodded as they left. I walked up and stood next to Wanda.
Like old times? She asked.
I guess you can say that, I responded.
An Ultron was rising up, but Pietro sped up and knocked it down. Wanda then looked at her brother.
Get the people on the boats, Wanda told him.
I'm not going to leave you here, Pietro retorted.
We can handle this. Wanda said. Right on cue, another Ultron ran towards us. Wanda sent one of her blaster waves at it. Come back for us when everyone else is off. And not before. You understand? Wanda said.
Pietro started walking away from us, but he turned around and tried to joke. You know I'm twelve minutes older than you. Said Pietro.
I gave Pietro a look. Just go. I told him.
What? Still no chuckle from you, Raven? Even after four months together. Said Pietro. I sneered at him, making him raise his hands in surrender. And people wonder why we didn't work. I told him.
I glared at him one last time before he left. And I heard Wanda laugh.
(Sometime later.)
Wanda's mouth flew wide open as she let out this piercing scream. Her eyes glowed red, making my eyes glow wide. I sank into the ground for cover as Wanda's energy blast went around the church. Even in the air, I could feel the ground shake. I flew back up as Wanda's cries grew louder.
Pietro! She cried before grabbing on to me, hugging me hard.
My eyes widened as she held on tight. What happens to Pietro? He... He's not dead, is he? Wanda's heartbreaking cries confirmed my answer. Oh, my god.
We looked up when he heard the Hulk's roar. He jumped from one of the ships and threw Ultron out of it. Ultron came spiraling down until he crashed into one of the buses, not that far away from us. Wanda started shaking, as I held her close. Her breath coming out more furiously as she stood up. More Ultron's came at her, but she blasted them away. I quickly got up and followed her. She's angry and she's hurt. Who knows what emotions she's going through.
He's going to pay, Wanda sneered as we neared the bus.
Wanda's hands were ready to attack. I stayed behind as I let her walk towards Ultron. I could feel her pain from here.
Wanda, Ultron breathed. If you stay here, you'll die. Ultron said.
I just did, Wanda said with so much venom in her voice. Do you know how her felt? She asked Ultron.
I then held my hand out and held Ultron in a choke hold. Ultron started groaning as I parted his chest open. Wanda then held her hand out at Ultron's main drive, more like his heart, got ripped and placed in her hand.
It felt like that, Wanda finished as she crushed Ultron's heart.
Ultron's heart then gave out. And the power died. So the city decided to come tumbling down. And our back's hit the top of the bus. I then flew towards Wanda and held out for her. Wanda grabbed my hand before I pulled her towards me. She then held on as I flew us out of there.
