Fighting Family

"When you forced me off a building," He replies.

"Did you die, though?" I repeat for the millionth time.

"Back to the point. When you get past the fact that you tend to throw- sorry push, people off buildings, you are really thoughtful. You care a lot about people but pretend not to, you'd do anything for someone you care about. I never would've guessed that you were anything more than a weird person who knows a lot about fighting."

"I think that is one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said that to me. You're a good friend Peter," I lean on his shoulder.

"There are six heat signatures," Natasha reports.

"Okay, let's do this," Tony commands. "We go one at a time. Remember the goal is to capture."

"We will see," T'Challa remarks.

I try to brush over his comment. Tony continues, "So they have Steve, Barnes, Sam, Wanda, Clint, and an unknown so keep an eye out. Steve's making a move. Let's go."

Tony and Rhodey fly down first in front of Steve, disabling the helicopter he was heading for. Tony turns to Rhodey, "Wow, it's so weird how you run into people at the airport. Don't you think that's weird?"

Rhodey nods, "Definitely weird."

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

T'Challa jumps over a truck, "Captain."

"Your Highness."

"Anyway," Tony resumes, " 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 tells them.

"Your judgment is askew. Your old war buddy killed innocent people yesterday," Tony reminds him.

"And there are five more super soldiers just like him. I can't let the doctor find them first, Tony. I can't," Steve explains.

Natasha and I walk up behind him. She speaks first, "You know what's about to happen. You really want to punch your way out of this one?"

"There's a better way to this," I add. He looks at me strangely as if he didn't expect me to be here.

"Alright, I've run out of patience," Tony cups his hands together. "Underoos!"

Peter flips in, webs Steve's hands, and steals his shield, "Hey, everybody."

"You've been busy," Steve remarks.

"And you've been a complete idiot," Tony retorts. Peter turns his head in my direction. I gesture for him to turn back around. I zone out of what's going on. Why is Steve alone? Where is everyone else? The helicopter is gone so what else could they possibly use to-

Another voice in my head interrupts me. "Emily, I don't want to fight you."

"Wanda, get out of my head."

"It doesn't have to end this way... Emily, are you okay? I think there's something-"

I shake her out of my head as Steve raises his arms above his head and an arrow cuts through the webs, " Alright, Lang."

My eyes widen as Scott appears, kicks Peter to the ground, and takes back the shield. He hands it back to Steve, "I believe this belongs to you."

"Scott!" I pull my visor up in shock.

"What the- Emily! Why is my babysitter here?!" Scott asks.

"Babysitter-whatever, there's here's two on the parking deck. One of them's Maximoff, I'm gonna grab her. Rhodey, you want to take Cap?"
