Pov y/n

A bit later, we arrive in Germany and since we don't have any luggage except for our backpacks, we don't need to wait in line to get our suitcases.
I look around at all the signs, being very sure that I don't understand any German.

Clint guides us outside and to a van. But before we get in, Scott stops at a little coffee shop and buys himself some coffee, still tired from the flight. I'm honestly not really tired anymore, especially after the 'shower' I just shared.

While Wanda and I sit with Clint in the front row, Scott goes to sit, or lay, in the backroom of the van.
"Where are we headed?" I ask Clint as he drives us out of the airport.

"To meet Steve." He explains and I nod, I did know that.

"But where?" Wanda specifies my question.

"At an airport." Clint answers. I frown a little and share a look with Wanda.

"Well, you maybe wanna turn around then, we just left the airport." I tell him and he chuckles a bit with an eye roll.

"I am aware of that but I mean another airport. There's supposed to be a quintjet. Speaking of transportation, I need to make a call." He remembers and when we stop at a red light, he pulls out his phone.

I raise my eyebrows, knowing, you're not supposed to be on your phone while driving.
Clint knows that too and puts an earbud in right before the light turns green and he starts to drive again.

I vaguely listen to him because it's way more interesting to look around.
Wanda does the same and her fingers link with mine, making me smile.

Clint mentions where we're headed but I don't bother to listen closely. We'll go there anyways and later on, we will all go back, so I don't feel like I need this information.
It's kinda busy on the streets but Clint manages it pretty well.

The drive is quite long and I get lost in my thoughts a little, not thinking about anything specific.

After what feels like hours, we drive into an empty parking house and up to one of the higher levels.
I see two cars already standing there and next to them, there's Steve and I am kinda glad to see him, especially after being 'locked' away in the compound for almost two weeks or so.

Clint parks right next to an old looking car and gets out.
"Cap, good to see you." He greets Steve and Steve nods.

"Took you a little while." He notices and Clint waves it off, pointing to me and Wanda and only now, Steve seems to notice us.

"Had to get something before I left the states." He says with a little grin and Steve smiles a little at us.

"Wanda, it's good to see you back on your feet." He says and it sounds honest. The last time he saw her, she was still processing a lot and not able to go on any other missions, but now she is, even though, this isn't really a mission. Wanda nods and crosses her arms a little but not in a defensive way.

"It was time to get off my ass." She says with a little shrug, glancing at Clint and I would bet, he is chuckling right now. Steve nods, turning his attention to me.

"Are you here to fight or for moral support?" He asks and I quirk an eyebrow, wondering if he is serious but Steve is hardly ever joking.

"To fight, of course." I answer and he nods slowly.

"You are aware who we're up against?" He asks and I nod, knowing he means Mom and Tony. I don't really care about fighting against Rhodey, so.

"Alright then. Any other recruits?" He asks Clint, who nods.

"I put a little coffee in him." He says and opens the back door of the van, waking up a sleeping Scott with that noise.

"Ugh, what time zone is this?" He asks a little sleepy and I chuckle and watch as he gets up. His eyes light up, when he sees Steve and he stands up a little straighter.

"Captain America." He says formally and reaches his hand out.
Steve takes it and shakes it while Scott rambles on a bit in excitement. Then he looks at Sam and it sounds as if they know each other. It makes me wonder what his specialty is. I mean, he must have some skill, or else he wouldn't be here.

I also notice a dark haired man behind the car that Sam is leaning against. He has a metal arm and is rather attractive but I'm not into men, so.

"Okay, so why exactly are we here?" Wanda asks a very valid question that I've been asking myself as well.

"Bucky is wanted by the secretary and some other people for a crime that he didn't commit. So, I'm helping him to get out of the situation. We have a quintjet somewhere here but need to find it first because I don't know where they put it. And we can also assume, that we will run into the other part of the Avengers as they decided to help the secretary." Steve explains, pointing at the man with the metal arm and sounding annoyed by the thought of being caught by Tony. Okay, so that's Bucky.

"Who are we up against? I heard something like a few assassins?" Scott asks and I nod, at least my Mom could be described as one and considering they want to catch us, that's a very fitting term.

"Yeah, sounds about right. We aren't on the side of the law in this one, so be aware that they might come for you too after this is settled." Steve answers, meaning the police but Scott just shrugs.

"Nothing new." He says casually and I start to really wonder who he is. Hopefully not a criminal. Although, with what Steve just said, we are all criminals after this.

"We have suits for everyone, so we are protected a bit more. And-" He starts but is interrupted by an alarm over the speakers and a voice: "Dies ist eine Evakuierung, bitte verlassen sie unverzüglich das Gelände."

Bucky looks from the speaker to us. "They're evacuating the airport." He translates and I am surprised he speaks German.

"Stark." Steve says and Bucky nods in agreement.
"Suit up."

And with that, he hands us our suits. Only Scott and Clint have their stuff with them. I get handed my suit, widow bites and a bow and some arrows. I'm not sure, if I will use the arrows though but it's nice to be prepared.

Wanda and I change inside the van, it's a bit tight but it works.
It's been a while since I've worn this suit but it makes me feel strong and ready for whatever is expecting us.

Steve quickly tells us where to go and what to do, which is basically searching for the jet. Then he hands out earpieces, so we are able to communicate and we split up.
I go with Wanda and Clint, Sam and Bucky go together and Scott, to my surprise shrinks down and goes to Steve.
I didn't know he could do that but it explains why he is here.

Well, let the battle begin I guess.

A/n: Everyone's ready to fight...
