Chapter 5
You, Wanda, Pietro, and Clint wait in a grey van for Steve to show up. You were beginning to get bored as you asked, "So, who's this guy again?" Clint shrugged, "His name's Scott Lang, ever heard of that one dude, Ant Man?"
"Ant Man? What his power? Following a line?" You joked. Wanda and Pietro laughed and looked back at the sleeping man in the back, then back up to you as he said, "Looks about right, but no."
You both share a laugh and Clint said, "No powers. A suit."
"Like Stark?" Wanda asked. You shrugged and looked over at Clint. He shrugged back and said, "He can shrink, he can grow." You slowly began to smile as you laughed, "You expect me not to make a joke with that?"
Wanda placed a hand over her eyes as she laughed, "Y/N, must you make those jokes?" You nodded and bent over, placing a kiss to the hand on her face, "I must." Pietro laughed with you and a blue, battered, old car drove up.
The giant of a man, Steve, got out of the tiny car, reminding you of a herd of clowns getting out of a small car. You and the twins got out of the car, Clint following after. "Cap." Clint greeted. You wave to Steve and he nodded over to you with a smile.
He told Clint, "You know I wouldn't have called if I had any other choice." Clint replied with a shrug, " Hey man, you're doing me a favor. Besides, I owe a debt." He looked back at you and the twins as he said that.
"Thanks for having my back." Steve said to you and the twins. You nodded and Wanda answered, "It was time to get off our asses."
Sam soon got out of the battered car, Bucky getting out on the other side and staying next to the car, not saying anything.
Sam waved at you and you gave a little salute. "Hey, Samantha." He rolled his eyes and answered, "Sup, Hothead." You laughed and told him, "Surely you can be more creative than that."
He laughed and motioned toward the twins in acknowledgement. Steve motioned with his head toward the van you all just got out of, "How about our other recruit?"
Clint walked toward the van and opened the door as he said, "He's rarin' to go. Had to put a little coffee in him, but...he should be good."
Scott jumped up from his sleep as Clint slammed the van door open. He looked around as he woke up. He got out of the van, looking at Clint as he sleepily asked, "What timezone is this?"
He stopped next to Clint as he looked at him. "Come on." Clint muttered. When Scott didn't move, he shoved him a little as he repeated, "Come on."
Scott looked at you and the twins before seeing Steve. Scott shook Steve's hand with an amazed look plastered on his face.
"Captain America." He said in disbelief. Steve greeted, "Mr. Lang." He continued to shake Steve's hand as he said, "It's an honor. I'm shaking your hand too long." He let go of Steve's hand after that.
You leaned over to Wanda and Pietro as you mumbled, "He's adorable." Scott continued to marvel over Steve, "Wow! This is awesome! Captain America." He looked over to you three at the last part and said, "I know you guys, too. You're great!"
You laughed quietly and Wanda smiled, Pietro rolling his eyes playfully. Steve glanced back at Sam and Bucky in confusion. Scott turned back around and began feeling Steve's shoulders, "Jeez. Ah, look, I wanna say, I know you know a lot of super people, so . . . thinks for thanking of me."
Steve gave a half smile as he tried not to laugh. Scott looked past Steve to see Sam as he greeted, "Hey, man!"
Sam nodded as he greeted, "What's up, Tic Tac?" Scott awkwardly said, "Uh, good to see you. Look, what happened last time when I-"
Sam cut him off, "It was a great audition, but it'll," he suddenly started smiling as he finished, "it'll never happen again." You turned to Pietro and quietly asked, "What do you think happened?"
Pietro shrugged and smirked as he answered with a chuckle, "Probably kicked his ass." You laughed and turned back to the scene in front of you, Wanda smacking your shoulder playfully at your childishness.
"They tell you what we're up against?" Steve asked, getting back to the point as to why you all were here. He shrugged as he tried to recall what Clint told him when you four picked him up, "Something about some...psycho-assassins?"
You shrugged and muttered, "Pretty much." Pietro snickered and Wanda smacked both of you upside your heads. You both muttered a small 'ow' under your breath as you rubbed the back of your heads, looking at the smirk on Wanda's lips.
"We're outside the law on this one. So, if you come with us, you're a wanted man." Steve told him. Scott shrugged and answered, "Yeah, well, what else is new?"
You couldn't help the smirk that broke through. "We should get moving." Bucky said, the first things he's spoken since he got here.
"We got a chopper lined up." Clint said. You shifted as you looked between everyone in the room. A man suddenly spoke over the PA through the airport, you all looked up as you listened, "Dies ist eine Notsituation. Alle Passagiere müssen den Flughafen sofort evakuieren. (This is an emergency. All passengers must evacuate the airport immediately.)"
Bucky translated, "They're evacuating the airport." Sam turned to Steve with his arms crossed as he said, "Stark."
Scott questioned, "Stark?" Steve looked at the five of you as he said, "Suit up." You all nodded back.
You walked up to Scott, patting him on the back as you asked, "You ready to kick a billionaire's ass?" He gave you a weird expression and you walked back over to Wanda and Pietro. Pietro sped to the van, grabbing all three of your suits to put on.
-
Steve strode through an underpass. When a chopper comes up, landing steadily on the ground, he breaks into a jog.
An electro-disabler slammed onto the chopper and Steve looked up. You followed his gaze, seeing Tony and Rhodey land in their iron suits.
You took a breath and looked over to the twins. Tony commented as he retracted his mask, "Wow, it's so weird how you run into people at the airport. Do you think that's weird?"
He looked over to Rhodey and he responded, "Definitely weird."
You rolled your eyes as this.
Steve tried to reason, "Hear me out, Tony. That doctor, the psychiatrist, he's behind all of this." As he said this, a man in a cat suit jumped off a truck, landing on the ground.
He looked up at Steve and said, "Captain." Steve greeted back to him, "Your highness."
You looked over to Wanda and Pietro, muttering, "So we have a grown man dressed like a cat...hmm."
Wanda rolled her eyes with a brief smile as Pietro snickered. Clint smacked your arm lightly as he tried to get you to be quiet, also trying not to laugh himself.
"Anyway," Tony spoke, "Ross gave me 36 hours to bring you in. That was 24 hours ago. Can you help a brother out?"
"You're after the wrong guy." Steve told him.
"Your judgement is askew. Your old war buddy killed innocent people yesterday." Tony informed him.
Steve countered, "And there are five more super soldiers just like him. I can't let the doctor find them first, Tony. I can't."
As soon as he said this, Natasha appeared behind him. You looked at her as she told him, "Steve...you know what's about to happen. Do you really wanna punch your way out of this one?"
You sighed and Wanda rubbed her hand on your shoulder. There was silence for a moment before Tony spoke, "Alright, I've run out of patience. Underoos!"
Suddenly, a web shot toward Steve, attaching to his shield and stealing it away from him. Another web bound Steve's hands together at the same time.
"Tell me Tony didn't bring a giant spider with him. I will crush it." You said under your breath. Pietro only chuckled and Wanda rolled her eyes, the usual response.
"Y/N, be quiet." He chuckled, trying to be serious. You hit his hand when he smacked on your shoulder again.
When you see a little kid, probably around 14 land on top if a truck in a costume, looking up with the shield, you smile. "Aw, he's adorable. He shall live."
"I swear to god." Clint warned you again. You challenged him, giving him a small look, "Do something." He rolled his eyes and turned back to see Steve.
"Nice job, kid." Tony complimented.
The boy responded, "Thanks. Well, I could've stuck the landing a little better. It's just the new suit- Well, it's nothing, Mr. Stark. It's-It's perfect. Thank you."
"Yeah, we don't really need to start a conversation." Tony told him.
You smiled wide and spoke under your breath ten octaves higher, "Aw, he's like a little puppy! He's so cute!"
Wanda and Clint couldn't help but laugh quietly as you placed a hand over your heart. You all quickly stopped as Spider-Boy continued, "Okay. Cap-Captain. Big fan, I'm Spider-Man."
"You're Spider-Boy to me." You awed and blew a kiss. Pietro snickered then and Clint got all of you to calm down. Tony told him, "Yeah, we'll talk about this later."
"Hey, everyone." Spider-Boy waved awkwardly.
"Good job." Tony ended.
You waved a little at him, though he couldn't see it. Clint smacked your hand down again and you smacked him back. Spider-Boy's so goddamn adorable.
Steve told him, "You've been busy."
"And you've been a complete idiot," Tony started back up, "Dragging in Clint. 'Rescuing' Wanda, Y/N, and Pietro from a place they don't even want to leave, a safe place."
"I didn't want to be there." You mumbled.
"I'm trying to keep..." Tony faltered a little, "I'm trying to keep you from tearing the Avengers apart."
"Fight's coming." You said, flames crawling up your hands in reflex. Pietro stood taller and Clint clutched his bow. Wanda got ready, placing a hand on your shoulder. You shook one hand and put the fire out to hold Wanda's.
"You did that when you signed." Steve told him.
"Alright, we're done. You're gonna turn Barnes over, you're gonna come with us. Now! Because it's either us! Or a squad of J-SOC guys with no compunction about being impolite." Tony announced to Steve.
Steve looked over at you and the twins in your hiding place. Tony urged him, "Come on." Sam comes over the comm and told Steve, "We found it. Their Quinjet's in hanger five, north runway."
Steve held his hand up and Clint shot the web off. "Alright, Lang." Steve said. Spider-Boy spoke, "Hey, guys, something-"
He was cut off by Scott growing and using an uppercut before shrinking again. You winced and said, "No, my baby. Don't hurt my Spider-Son."
"Whoa. What-What the hell was that?" Rhodey asked. Scott was by Steve's side at his normal size and handed the shield to Steve.
"I believe this is yours, Captain America." He said, making you laugh because of the way he said it.
Not soon after, the fight broke out. You kissed Wanda quickly before hoisting yourself off the ground with your powers and landing down on the ground, Pietro speeding down.
As Steve fought the cat, you got down and began keeping Spider-Boy from anyone else, not hurting him too bad.
When he webbed you up, you gave him a look. He chuckled nervously when he saw it and asked shyly, "What was you - heh - superpower again?"
You heated your body, the heat going through the suit and melting the web off of you, sliding to the ground. Your arms caught on fire and Peter yelped as he webbed away.
You used your powers and went after him, keeping him from getting to anyone else before you caught sight of Wanda, Spidey getting away.
There was an explosion where Wanda and Clint were running off. You turned around, using your powers to fly you to them.
As you got there, you took the fire from the explosions, gathering it into a giant ball and throwing it towards Tony, it expanding on its way.
Tony saw it and moved out of the way. You caught it before it hit anyone else as he continued to point explosion toward the two.
You got closer to Stark and fired giant flames toward him. When his suit picked it up, rockets loaded at the back of his suit and shot toward you.
You thought you dodged it but it exploded when it got close to you. Instead of the fiery explosion you thought you were going to take in, the bomb exploded and released a freezing mist.
As you accidentally absorbed this, your fire diminished and you began falling to the ground fast, growing cold and weak, your lips going chapped and your fingertips freezing over.
You fell fast and thought you were going to land on the ground, only to be caught by Pietro right before you hit the hard concrete.
He set you on your feet and you thanked him. He had to support you up, as the lack of fire/heat in your system weakened you drastically. You used a small fire from an explosion and absorbed it to warm up your body.
When you were warmed enough, your lips going from the extremely chapped they were back to normal and your fingertips free of frost, you shook yourself off and headed toward Stark, Wanda, and Clint.
