Cutting the strings | A Pietro Maximoff story

Chapter 10

He is going to destroy the world, not save it. He lied to us. After everything that happened between us, all the things we did for him, we killed for him, the things we gave up for him and he doesn't tell us his plan until now. It hurts, you feel like you have a hole inside of you that keeps getting deeper. He said the avengers were to be destroyed, not the world, that was supposed to be his mission.

Pietro had grabbed us and ran to the outside of the building, we saw another quinjet making its way up the building with Captain america climbing up the building beside it. Wanda had gotten out of Pietro's grasp and was now leaning against a wall, Pietro was muttering things in Russian while I was pacing around the both of them.

"There here." I said quietly. Wanda was staring into my eyes as if to say 'well what do we do about it' . Pietro had stopped mumbling and was looking at the jet while the Avengers were getting ready to fight. Captain america had now made his way into the building, probably to find Dr Cho and the casket.

"We can't trust them Angel" Wanda said

"I think the whole trust thing is out the window now Wanda" I told her.

Suddenly, we were at a Korean market, people were busy with there stalls and gathering boxes with food in to put around them. Pietro looked at us with a hard look on his face while me and Wanda looked confused as to how we got here. Over us we heard a whoosh sound and saw the jet with a stone faced Hawkeye in the pilots seat, look to our left and see a small television. On the screen was a Korean man pointing at the fighting on the smaller screen. Ultron and Captain were fighting on the roof of the truck, his shield was blasted to the side and both of them landed in the one of the carriages packed with people. Black widow was on a very futuristic motor bike following the truck that they had previously been on, she was getting closer and closer to the back of it. Hawkeye was in the air flying with two of the robots chasing him into the sky. Wanda and Pietro looked at each other and nodded, then they looked at me and I nodded, we were going to help them.

Pietro had, once again, picked us up and deposited us on the carriage either side on Ultron. He ran head first towards Ultron and hit him, sending him tumbling back, before returning to my side. Wanda had found some railings and made a cross using her magic to block Ultron from escaping. He got up to look at us, before backing away from me and Pietro.

"Please don't do this" He said with a bit of sarcasm in his voice.

"What choice do we have." Wanda shouted over the noise of the train, edging closer to Ultron. Captain blast through the side from the drivers carriage. Ultron flew out of the train, Captain made his way towards Pietro.

"There are civilians in the way." And Pietro was off like a bullet, he turned to me and Wanda.

"Can you stop this thing"Captain asked us, Wanda look petrified so I grabbed her hands and closed my eyes picturing vines looping into the wheels of the train to slow it down. Wanda closed her eyes and red swirls appeared throughout the train. We let go of our hands and I pushed them to the floor while opening my eyes, a small green mist started appearing out of my hands and the train started to slow down. Wanda used her energy to make a blast of red go through the train, making it stop altogether.

Once the train had stopped we got off to find Pietro. He was sitting down, hunched over and out of breath, we walked to him and gave him a hug and asking if he was okay. He waved it off:

"I'm fine, I just need a minute"

"I'm very tempted not to give you one" Captain said making his way over to us. He looked relived, and annoyed at us, we had just helped him with the train, why did he sound annoyed?
