Over in a Flash
Chapter 12:War
Sorry it's been so long, I've just been rewriting this chapter so much. I am also updating this story on Wattpad as well but I'm still uploading on first. Hope you enjoy.
Cold. Barry felt cold, all around him the airport had begun to clear out. Steve had developed a key strategy the plan was for him and Bucky to try and take the helicopter, most likely getting intercepted by Stark and whoever he'd managed to drag along with him. This would hopefully mean there was a Quintet available for the steal. Whilst the others all engaged in combat Barry and Pietro would head towards the quinjet from either side of the airport and start the engines then grab the rest of the team and transport them on board whilst they distracted Team Stark before running over to Russia to join them. As Scott had exclaimed shortly afterwards it sure did help having a speedster on your team and they were lucky enough to have two.
This meant Barry was now positioned on the southern side of the airport awaiting his orders from Steve. Barry could then hear fighting breaking out all across the airport despite wanting badly to go and aid in the fight Barry stood his ground to wait for his opportunity, suddenly Barry felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, this prompted him to quickly turn around feeling a presence behind him. Standing before Barry in his godly appearance was the Vision, his yellow cape flowing freely behind him as he levitated himself slightly into the air. "Mr Allen." Said the Vision simply and politely. "Mr Stark has finished your tachyeon device if you wish to return home."
Barry didn't trust that at all. "And what if I wanted to stay?" He asked.
"Then you need to stop aiding Captain Rogers and disobeying the law." The Vision said again this time with more emotion in his voice.
"And what if I said no to that? Hypothetically speaking." Said Barry.
"Then I will have to stop you and return you home by necessary force." Said the Vision harshly, to Barry he sounded ever so slightly bitter about something but nothing came to mind as to what.
"Listen this is ridiculous and petty and Stark knows it, so if you wouldn't mind I have a job to do." Barry said as he readied himself to run and sprinted past the Vision in a red blur. The android just stood there and shook his head. "I see; you have made your choice." And with that quick remark he turned around on the spot and shot a beam from the mind stone directly into Barry's back. Barry who had been unready for the android to fire on him was hit square in the back sending him sprawling across the floor of the airport smoking ever so slightly. The Vision then began to float towards him.
"Guys I'm pinned down by the Vision." Said Barry into the coms, letting the team know he'd have to defeat the android to progress.
"It's a shame really Mr Allen, that the team has become so divided. All that said. It split the moment you appeared." Said the Vision as he readied another blast. Barry was ready to move out the way when as if in slow motion the Vision was sent crashing through the wall next to them, falling out into the open airfield where the main battle was taking place. Causing everyone below to stop fighting and stare at what possibly just hit the strongest Avenger. Barry however had seen the whole ordeal, just as the Vision had been about to fire, a blue fist had slammed into his face sending him flying.
"Sorry, took a second longer than I thought. Then again that's what happens when you run to Australia to charge a punch." Said Pietro as he helped Barry up onto his feet.
"What about the plan?" Asked a bewildered Barry.
"Who cares about the plan, I completely saved you back there." Said Pietro waving his arm nonsensically.
"You just wanted to hit him didn't you." Remarked Barry.
"That too." Said Pietro with a shrug of his shoulders guiltily prompting Barry to face palm.
"I mean come on, I'd have thought you of all people would want to punch him." Said Pietro.
"Wait, what, why?" Asked Barry. As far as he knew the Vision seemed like a nice guy.
"Surely you've seen the way he looks at my sister?" Pietro asked. "It creeps me out." And with Barry left on that thought the Marine speedster left the Crimson speedster pondering as he rushed down to finish his fight with the Vision. Barry quickly followed afterwards and was met by a line of team Cap and a line of team Stark. Barry quickly took his place next to Wanda in the line-up. He recognised all of Stark's team except for two newcomers. "Who are the two guys in red?" Barry asked Wanda pointing to the two men clad in red. One wore a red jumpsuit with black lines drawn across it, judging from the spider in the middle Barry assumed he was going to be called the Spider or something. The second man wore a red helmet with a red and black suit, he was clutching in his hands two billy clubs that Barry felt looked rather painful to be hit by.
"I don't know Barry." Said Wanda "But the Spider-boy stole Steve's shield so be careful."
"So what do we do now Cap?" Asked a voice that sounded like Sam to Barry.
"We fight." Said Steve as they began walking towards Stark and his team, who in term began walking back.
"They're not stopping." Came the voice of the Spider-Boy, who to Barry sounded scarily young. What was Stark doing by bringing a child into this.
"Neither are we." Said the robotic voice of Stark from the Iron-Man suit and with that they were off. Both sides ran forward clashing in an immense force of action. Barry decided to engage in battle with Rhodey, opting not to face the newcomers and he had a bone to pick with Rhodes after their brief fight earlier. "You don't have to do this Barry." Said Rhodey as he fired sonic blasts at Barry, who easily dodged them as though he was toying with Rhodes.
"That's where your wrong, I'd never forgive myself if I left them alone." He said as he flashed behind Rhodey and punched forward but his punch never connected as the machine gun on the shoulder of his suit whirled to life firing rapidly at Barry, who had to quickly run to the right to avoid the fire. "New Upgrade to deal with Speedsters. Sensory Machine gun" Stated Rhodes as he continued firing at Barry, who continued dodging. This continued for a little while longer until Rhodes was hit by a shock arrow whirling to life, momentarily stunning him.
"How about we swap opponents." Said Clint as he ducked under a kick from the mystery red man.
"Just let me finish up here." Said the figure in red as he went to kick Clint in the face. Clint at last second blocked the kick but the red man just flipped with it slamming down on Clint's nose with his other leg causing Clint to fall backwards with a broken nose. Barry seeing his chance dashed over to the figure pushing him backwards into a pile of airport crates. He then zoomed over to Clint and helped him up. "Yeah, you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." Barry said as he walked towards where he left the Red Man who was now missing. Barry then felt something wrap around his leg and was pulled upwards onto the loading station of a plane. The Red Man went in for a punch on Barry as he was hoisted upwards but Barry phased his leg through the chain and delivered a volley of punches to the man's chest as he flipped over.
"Alright Red. You VS me." Said Barry as he ran towards the man.
The man in red just smirked and begun to run towards Barry "You know you're not the first to say that to me."
