It only takes us a second to react and get to our feet before we rush across the field towards the house.
"Eyas?!" We both hear my brother calling from inside the house.
As we step into the house, we both see my brother and Nat standing tensely in the living room as they watched the entire horrified situation on the television.
"What was that?" I ask them, wide-eyed.
"Our next assignment is my best guess." My brother commented dryly, as he nodded towards the images on the screen.
I didn't think before I acted. I simply did it before I could realize that I did. One moment, I was standing in my brother's living room assessing the situation, and the next I was standing in the town, in the middle of chaos.
Crap, they're all going to kill me!
"Bits, what are you doing here?" I hear behind me, causing me to jump a foot in the air.
"Stark? What are you doing here?" I asked, surprised to see him here of all places.
"Looking for a new assistant. What do you think I am doing here? Where is Rogers, and your brother?" He asks.
"Probably on their way here…" I say, rolling my eyes at him.
"You teleported again, didnt you?" He asked me, amused.
I looked away at the damage and chaos this thing caused.
What exactly is this thing?
"Yes, it was an accident… completely and totally unintentional." I muttered looking at our surroundings. "What exactly is this thing?"
"I'm not entirely sure." He muttered, looking around us.
"It looks like we have company…" I said, inclining my head towards the metal looking thing headed our way.
A loud humming is heard, moments before a loud blast is heard. Stark and I barely have enough time to move before another humming and blast, this time it's not aimed at us but at civilians.
I quickly move, appearing before them before I produce a force field protecting them.
While I work to protect and move everyone to safety, Stark fights off whatever that thing is that is attacking us.
I had just moved the last of the civilians to safety before I heard a loud humming, before feeling myself go airborne.
I hit a cemented wall of one of the buildings, with a groan.
"Bitsy!"
Next thing I knew everything went dark.
"Bitsy!"
A week later:
*Beep* *beep* *beep*
What the hell is that noise?
"Bitsy?"
Stark, is that you?
*groan*
"Eyas?"
Hawk? What's going on?
"Mmh."
"Marie? If you can hear me open your eyes."
Trying. Not succeeding.
"Let's give her more time to build-up strength."
What?! No! Comeback! I need to know what happened, and what's going on!
Then I hear two more voices.
"I'm going to go get a cup of coffee. Are you staying here with her?"
Nat?
"Yes, I am." The second voice sighed in response.
Steve?
'Oh god, what happened?' I think as I strain to open my eyes but fail to do so, even after I attempt to move any of my other limbs.
"Marie, I know you can hear me… Just own your eyes for me, please." He whispered.
Again. Trying, not succeeding.
"Her brain activity has increased sporadically this morning compared to the last few days. Would you like me to call the doctor in again?" I heard the unmistakable voice of Vision as I laid there.
What the hell happened to me?
"I think I know what can help. Wanda?" I hear Vision say.
A moment later I felt something cool touch my temples before the cool turned to heat.
I can feel myself gasp as the heat turns into an uncomfortable searing pain. I can feel as my limbs begin to spasm.
Before I realize what is happening I'm off the bed, with my back pressed against the wall.
"That'll do, Wanda." Vision says, looking towards the door, where my brother is standing in front of Nat and Charlie.
"Eyas." He says, calmly walking towards me.
"Hawk." I reply, as I realized that I had accidentally torn out the IV in my arm, and that it was now bleeding profusely.
I soon realized I wasn't in a hospital but the Avengers' Headquarters.
"Go get Tony, she's hurt herself." My brother says, without taking his eyes off of me.
A moment later I hear as someone is rushing towards the room and stiffen as I hear their fast approach.
"Marie, we need you to let the force field down now…"
I slowly shake my head in response, "I can't." I whispered, putting pressure on the small wound in my arm with the sleeve of the shirt I was wearing.
"Bitsy," I heard someone say, calmly.
"Stark…" I replied, still holding onto my arm.
"Marie…look at me. Let. Down. Your forcefield." Steve finally said, calmly.
I sighed, nodding for a moment before focusing all of my energy on bringing down the force field. However, as soon as the force field went down, I found my energy as it began to crumble.
I collapsed heavily against the wall, as I heard them all begin to rush forward, and then everything went dark once more.
