Justice isn't served cold (part 2)
Previously *
It all happened so fast. Y/n and Kate had been laughing and then all of the sudden they both felt a jolt of shock pass through their links before the sound of Wanda’s frantic voice resonated in their minds. “Kate! Y/n! We need you two to get a taxi and get to the compound now! Shit! Get to the compound and get into the omega safe room in our room! It’s a code Omega! Go now!”
Their connections shook before they were shut out completely. It wasn’t the first time they’d been shut out from their links, but all the other times it had happened had been when their mates were on a mission without them but there was no need for that today, their mates weren’t on a mission today. Something was happening and they didn’t know what. They whined.They were scared for their mates and they were afraid of whatever could have caused the ‘code omega’ and why wasn’t Nat the one giving the order?
“Natty? Max?”, “Lena?” They both tried but none of the alphas were responding.
Before either omega could truly focus both Ruth and Naomi were there asking if they were okay and what was wrong.
Kate stood once she knew they weren’t going to get through to their alphas and the reality of the situation finally made itself known to her. Something must have happened and they needed to get back to the compound. She needed to get them back to the compound and into the omega safe room in y/n’s room. Everyone else was on mission at the courthouse or probably in the other safe rooms already so she was the only one with any training between them.
Y/n was in shock and they both needed to leave now.
She took y/n’s hand and apologized to their friends quickly explaining that they were ordered to take a taxi home. Kate quickly pulled a dazed y/n out of the shop and outside and stopped between the two buildings as she hailed them a cab.
It took a few minutes but a taxi stopped and two women got in before it headed towards their compound.
A few minutes ago at the courthouse *
In a distant room somewhere the first few notes of ‘Rachmaninoff’s Love’s sorrow’ begins to play….
Everyone in the courthouse was on their feet in happiness except for Natasha. She somehow knew something was wrong, be it her widow training, her possible paranoia, or her spidy senses, either way she was grateful that when she yelled for everyone to “Get Down!” almost everyone listened.
Not even a second later the windows of the courthouse exploded around them. For a moment the spray of glass picked up the rays of the sun and lit up the room an a beautiful array of colors all around them… before the first spray of bullets rained down upon them and the room was lit up in a different way all together.
Nat should have been out of the path of bullets. In fact she knew she was, but she forgot Jen was bullet proof in her She-Hulked out form. It was that oversight that earned her a bullet to the upper right chest and another to her side… she was on the floor in an instant as the room devolved into chaos and panic.
Yelena was the first to understand what happened. “Sestra!” She didn't care that she didn't have her suit or that the spray of rounds hadn't ceased yet; she jumped over the rail ,separating the public from the defendants and plaintiffs, and effortlessly landed by her sister's side and applied pressure to her wounds as her sister produced a pistol out of nowhere and fired off a few rounds of her own while calling out orders.
The older widow fired towards the direction the assault was coming from. To her eyes it seemed to be localized to one area, possibly a single shooter. The firing stopped for a beat before continuing again and mat noticed that once again the shots fired were directed at Jen. Someone must believe that Jen was the omega this whole trial was centered around which made sense given the fact that she was the only pack omega in the courtroom. The rounds weren't strong enough to do the omega damage but damage was being done to the courtroom and some of the unlucky citizens around them. “Stark! Do you have your suit?” she grunted out as Yelena pressed harder onto her wounds.
The wizzing of a round sounded way too close “ Shit!” as Tony replied “ no! I didn't think I needed my other one, but I've got one in the air, it should arrive in two minutes!”
Nat wasn't feeling well, everyone else in the pack was either on a mission they couldn't get away from, assigned to protect another omega, off world, or with their families. Yelena was currently keeping her from bleeding out, which judging by the state of her dizziness wasn't going according to plan. Jen was clearly the target and she could handle herself but the shooter wasn't exactly in the room and if she were to send her out that could be what the shooter wants. Carol could easily take out the shooter but she needed someone to get jen safely to the compound and she was the best choice for that. So that left wanda to act as a shield to everyone until Tony’s suit arrived.
“ once it gets here I need you to find the shooter!” Nat yelled as Wanda overturned the table in front of them and moved it to try and cover the two sisters. She was getting weak too fast for her injuries and it was becoming hard to think.but she still had enough sense to know that if one pack omega was being targeted, then they all could be. She tried linking y/n but it wasn't working…
Wanda was scared, her alpha’s once pristine suit was stained red and it was clear she was having trouble staying awake. Her fear only intensified as Yelena pealed back her sister's shirt to see the damage revealing a webbing of black veins centered around the bullet hole… poison.
Yelena and Wanda were pleading that she stay with them and that she stay awake, but Nat only had one thing on her mind “omega's.. Call…call a code.. omega” she whispered as she closed her eyes.
Wanda wanted to cry, she could feel how weak a state her mate was in, but she couldn't allow herself the moment to cry. She needed to be strong for the pack. As quickly as she could she put up a shield around everyone as Yelena got hit in the bicep with a grunt of her own. “ Carol get Jen to the compound and in a safe room then back here as fast as you can! Tony contact Pepper tell her its a code omega tell her to get Morgan, Peter, Mj, and herself in a safe room and to call Dr Cho, and when this is over we need someone on cleanup duty, our blood can't get out there”
Yelena swayed and shook her head moving her hands off her sister to bind her arm and stop her own bleeding.
Wanda immediately took over as she applied pressure and linked Y/n and Kate “Kate! Y/n! We need you two to get a taxi and get to the compound now!” she ordered as she opened up the shields to let carol and jen out. “Shit!” she cursed as she was hit in the hip. Already she could feel the effects of the toxin weakening her ability to use her links “ Get to the compound and get into the omega safe room in our room! It’s a code Omega! Go now!”
Wanda hissed through the pain. “Tony tell the guards at the gate to be on the lookout for a taxi, to let them in” she knew that's what the omega's would do, they would listen ,they didn't have anyone with them and being out in the streets during a code omega wasn't safe, a taxi was their best bet.
Yelena slumped over as Wanda felt herself doing the same. Carefully she placed herself over her mate. If she was going to pass out then she was going to make sure the weight of her body put pressure on her love’s wounds. Slowly she closed her eyes as the shield crumbled around them…
And in the distance the song came to an end… the mission was over…
