Chapter 11

A/N - Ironic that I'm finishing this fic on the day the Hawkeye trailer drops. Coincidence? I think not!


Tony slammed into Pietro.

Madison ran to his side and helped him up. "You okay?"

Pietro winced and rubbed his side. "I'll be fine. I just need a minute."

Madison cupped his face in her hands and pressed her forehead to his. "I'm so sorry I pulled you into all this."

"I chose to come, Kolibri. I would follow you anywhere."

Tony helped Natasha up.

"Come on!" Steve yelled.

They were heading for the Quinjet.

"You good to run?" Madison asked.

"I'm always good to run." Pietro scooped Madison up and joined the others.

Vision stopped them with a beam from the Mind stone. "Captain Rogers, I know you believe what you're doing is right. But for the collective good you must surrender now."

Tony's team stood in front of them, but luckily for Steve, they had Tony's outnumbered by two. Time would tell if that was to their advantage.

"What do we do, Cap?" Sam asked.

"We fight," Steve told him.

Clint and Madison drew their weapons and started to run.

"I get the bug," Pietro said.

Madison rolled her eyes.

Pietro went after Peter as Madison tag teamed with her father.

"Since when does Madison need someone to fight for her honor?" Peter asked Pietro.

"Your name is Peter, correct? I'm Pietro, clearly I'm the better one." Pietro, having successfully pissed Peter off, dodged Peter's webs. Pietro was enjoying taunting his Kolibri's ex in the same way he enjoyed mocking Steve.

Madison, who had moved on from Natasha to help Bucky, saw Steve and Peter. Hey Roadrunner, help Steve.

On it, Kolibri. Pietro grabbed onto Steve to move him out of the way of Peter's webs, but got tangled. I'm down! Kolibri, I'm down!

Madison wanted to help him, but she was currently pinned by T'Challa. Her eyes went green and she threw him off of her. She sprinted across the tarmac to Pietro's side. She tried cutting him free with her knife. "Goddammit!" she cursed, "Peter! What the hell did you do your webs!"

"Improved them."

Madison found herself on the ground next to Pietro. Then she heard Loki's voice in her head. Burn the webs. You can do it, Little Bird. Madison focused and Pietro watched the webs turn green and fall away from her body. Madison sat up and reached for Pietro.

He shook his head. "No. Help the others. I'll be fine."

"I'm so sorry. I should have just hung up my bow. We could have…"

"Shhh, Kolibri. There will be time for that later. Now go."

Madison leaned down and kissed Pietro, before getting up.

"We gotta draw out the flyers. I'll take Vision, you get to the jet," she heard Steve say.

"No, you get to the jet!" Sam told them, "Both of you! The rest of us aren't getting out of here."

"As much as I hate to admit it, if we're gonna win this one, some of us might have to lose it," Clint agreed.

"This isn't the real fight, Steve."

"Alright, Sam. What's the play?" Steve asked.

"We need a diversion. Something big."

"I got something kinda big," Lang said, "But I can't hold it very long. On my signal, run like hell. And if I tear myself in half, don't come back for me."

"He's gonna tear himself in half?" Bucky asked.

"You sure about this, Scott?" Steve asked him.

"I do it all the time. I mean, once, in a lab. Then I passed out." Suddenly, Lang was huge.

"Oh my god," Madison breathed.

"I guess that's the signal," Steve said.

"Coming to you," Madison said. She closed her eyes and focused on Steve. In a second, she appeared next to Steve and Bucky. She swayed a bit and Bucky put a hand on her arm.

"You okay?" he asked.

Madison nodded. "Yeah. It's just harder to do when it's not Pietro. Now come on. You two need to get to that jet."

The three of them started running, Madison throwing up a forcefield around them.

They were nearly to the jet when Vision cut into the air traffic control tower. It started to fall until Wanda stopped it with her magic. Madison dropped her forcefield and together they held up the falling building.

"Go!" Madison yelled at Steve and Bucky, "We've got this!"

Rhodey hit them with a sonar beam.

The two magic wielders hit the ground.

KOLIBRI! Pietro felt every bit of pain Madison did, because their current open connection.

"Madison!" Clint yelled. He ran to his daughter's side. "Hey, Baby Bird. You okay?"

Madison shot up. "Pietro! Is he okay!"

"He's fine. He's fine, Madison."

Madison clung to her father as he held her.

"We're okay. We're okay."
