Echo| Natasha Romanoff

2. Chapter 9

Andrea's p.o.v

It didn't take us long to arrive in Sokovia, and when we did arrive we all rushed to get people out of the country.

"Andy, Banner, you're in charge of getting Romanoff," Steve nodded towards us. I couldn't help the feeling of bile in my throat as he spoke. I turned to the scientist who was simply looking around aimlessly. He really did have no clue.

"Banner! This way!" I shouted and began running to a nearby building. As soon as we walked in, Bruce did the worst thing anyone could do. "Natasha! Natasha!" He shouted. I quickly clamped my hand over his mouth. "Are you stupid? What if Ultron was here?" I hissed.

I jumped when I heard a quiet, "Bruce?" My heart leaped at the sound of her voice and I quickly turned around and began walking. Banner quickly rushed in front of me and approached the cell that held the Russian. "You alright?" Bruce quizzed.

"Yeah," Natasha replied, and when I arrived, she looked me up and down. My suit was a mess, it was dirty and slightly torn in places due to the fact that Stark hadn't put the nanotechnology in it yet. My mask still stuck to my face, but I couldn't help but want to rip it off.

"The teams in the city. It's about to light up," I told her. She nodded and then once again turned her eyes to Bruce. "I don't suppose you found a key lying around somewhere?" She asked. I rolled my eyes before lifting my gun. Bruce hadn't noticed me yet, and was still standing by the lock. Without hesitation, I shot the lock and watched as he covered his ears from the loud noise.

"So what's our play?" The ginger questioned as she stepped out of her cell. "Evacuate the city," I shrugged whilst looking down at my gun. "I'm here to get you to safety," Banner spoke, forcing me to roll my eyes in anger. "Jobs not finished," Nat shook her head, already wanting to help in the fight.

"We could help with the evacuation, but I can't fight near civilians and you've done plenty. Our fight is over," Banner spoke. "So we just disappear?" Nat once again referenced their previous conversation, and I couldn't help but feel my heart clench.

"Let's go!" I shouted, slamming my gun to the wall in anger before strolling out of the dungeon. We all strolled out seeing the city in chaos. Everyone was trying to leave. I glanced up at a building that looked like it could topple over any minute. It was a skyscraper and would not end well for anyone.

"Romanoff you're with me. We need to evacuate that building. Your escape plan needs to hold off for a second. Banner, stay out of the way," I bit out before rushing into the unstable building. As we rushed up the stairs people were confusedly standing outside their apartments.

"Leave!" I practically screamed, my body aching as we climbed up the stairs. I jumped when I felt a large jolt and grabbed onto the wall. I lifted my hand to my comm and spoke. "Stark, what's going on out there, was that an earthquake?" I quizzed.

"Nope, the country's flying," the man spoke. I turned to see Natasha helping people leave. We continued our journey up on the building until we arrived on the roof, which was empty luckily.

"We won't make it down on time, the building will collapse before we do," she stated. "I can't see, there's too much cloud," I groaned, feeling the air already becoming a deficit. I glanced down at the edge and looked at the woman I was beginning to fall for. "Do you trust me?"

She avoided all eye contact, and made herself seem busy. I rolled my eyes before grabbing onto her waist, making her yelp. Before she could react, I leapt from the building. She held me tightly as we dove. As soon as we reached below cloud level, I saw clearly and teleported to the scientist.

Without hesitation, I let go of the woman and glared at the couple. "You can run now," I spat before turning away and running into the battlefield. "Good to see you," Cap smiled at me as we fought side by side, ensuring people were able to get out.
