I need to learn to listen to my instincts more often! I should've run as soon as I had a bad feeling! Violet was screaming at herself in her head as she dodged and weaved between abandoned cars. Robots were attacking the city and anyone they could reach. None of them had seen Violet yet which was a relief as she wasn't sure what to do if they did. Crouching between a car and a building, she watched the battle unfolding. Innocent people were running around screaming and trying to run from the robots. Suddenly, Violet fell to the ground as the city shook and made a series of horrifying noises. Then, it began to rise into the sky. The city is flying. THE CITY IS FLYING! You're going to be stuck on this chunk of rock with a bunch of homicidal robots! Move Violet, move! She couldn't though; her body wouldn't listen to her brain's commands. Instead she watched as a woman fell off the edge and down to her death. Without warning, the car that Violet had put her hand against disintegrated into nothing. Startled, she looked to see that in her panic the gloves she had bought were reduced to nothing. Her enhancement was flourishing in her discomfort and Violet took a deep breath to try to calm down.
"Not clear! We are very not clear!" She heard a man's voice shouting and she stood up a bit to see none other than Captain America fighting robots. She remembered seeing someone that looked like Hawkeye but at the time she had written it off. Now she realized that the Avengers were here and probably helping fight off robots. Violet's thoughts were interrupted by a robot coming around the building and lunging for her. Without thinking about it the woman reached her hands out and seconds after touching her skin, the robot had turned to dust. You could help them. They're going to need it, with all these robots. The whisper in her voice became a shout as she saw the Captain get knocked down by a robot. He was almost completely surrounded and he looked a little tired.
Steve groaned as he was slammed into the ground by a robot that he hadn't seen coming. They were all around him and he didn't really see a way out without taking heavy injuries. In the blink of an eye, a woman was standing above him. Her red hair was blowing in the wind and her eyes were a startling shade of silver but her expression was completely blank. Before he could move her out of the way, the bots jumped at them both and Steve heard himself yell out a warning. He watched in awe as her hands and arms became covered in a golden dust that spread over every robot she touched. It pulled tighter around them and destroyed the robots until there was nothing left of them, not even a trace of metal.
She turned and nodded to the man below her but she didn't offer her hand to help him up as she knew it would do more harm than good. "Thank you for your help ma'am. I can handle it from here but I need you to find a safe place to hide okay?" Violet turned and stared at him, her silver eyes and blank expression causing him to squirm slightly. Without looking, she touched a robot as it flew at her and destroyed it instantly. Captain America nodded in understanding before turning and beginning to fight again. Violet stayed close to him, catching anything that tried to hit him on his blind sides. They made it to a church and inside the woman stared in surprise at Iron Man and Thor. There was also a man with red skin that she had never seen before.
"Cap what are you doing with a civilian here? She'll be killed and you know it!" Tony didn't notice the half destroyed robot crawling toward him until it was almost upon him. Violet reached her hand out and golden dust shot from her palm and hit the attacker. Everyone watched as one of their many foes was turned into nothing in a matter of second. Violet stared at her hands in wonder; she'd never been able to make the dust leave her body before. "She's not just a civilian guys. I think she may be another of Strucker's enhanced." Hawkeye, who Violet hadn't noticed, scoffed and shook his head. "How do we know she's a good guy? You saw what she just did to that robot. Who's to say she won't do the same to us the moment Ultron shows up?" Before anyone could answer, Pietro came speeding into the church and set Wanda on her feet. "You!" His voice was surprised but also confused. "I saw you the night we first met Ultron. You were by the fence over there then you ran away!" Violet stared hard at the silver haired boy, noticing with slight surprise that he didn't seem disturbed by her constant gaze.
Violet turned and looked at each person standing in the church, noticing that the boy continued to stare at her. She then shrugged as if to say "I guess you'll have to make your own judgments." Suddenly Natasha came running into the building, stopping short when she saw Violet. "Who's this? We can't have a civilian here guys." Before anyone could say anything, the Hulk came busting into the church and a large robot came flying toward them. The robot, who violet assumed was the one they were calling Ultron, made a quick speech. It consisted of rubbing their failure in their faces. He stopped talking when he saw Violet; he didn't recognize her and his programming made him want to know all the variables. "Who might you be? A pretty thing like you, come with me and I'll let you live." The entire team turned and stared at her in shock, then relaxed slightly when the girl spit in Ultron's direction before stepping closer to Wanda. Wanda took the girl's hand into her own and the two represented a wall that would be hard to break. Ultron suddenly sent his army of robots running toward the church and they began attacking. "Stay close to me, I'll protect you okay?" Violet nodded slowly before pulling Wanda out of the way of a robot and touching it to break it.
Wanda looked shocked but smiled slowly then turned and focused on the battle, knowing the girl could take care of herself. Violet stayed close to the metal column in the middle, sensing that this is what everyone was trying to protect. "Don't touch it kid! You flip the switch and this entire city goes crashing back down to earth and kills everyone!" Violet nodded at Iron Man in shock before destroying multiple robots with a quick blast of golden dust. The others around her were fighting ferociously and Violet tried to keep the silver haired boy in her line of sight but he moved much too fast. Instead she settled on whatever the streak that he seemed to leave behind for barely a second. He stopped for a moment to catch his breath and was surprised by a robot tackling him. It pinned him down and moved to strangle the boy underneath it when Violet tackled the robot off the boy. The robot broke into pieces and Pietro stayed on the ground for a moment, gasping for air.
Wanda looked over in time to see Violet hovering over her brother, a golden dome covering them both. Any robot that touched it was turned to dust and Violet's eyes seemed to be glowing even more silver. Pietro looked up to see the girl above him, her arms shaking in effort and her chest heaving with each breath. Keeping this bubble around them was hard for her and Pietro knew he had to move now. "I am good now. We can move and keep fighting, yes?" She nodded and jumped to her feet, allowing the bubble to disappear. The boy stood up and nodded to her before becoming a blur again. Looking over at Wanda, she noticed a smile on the other woman's face and for the first time in a long time Violet felt a small smile on her face.
A.N. So as everyone probably knows, I do not own Marvel or any of the characters except my own. This story was just sort of something that's been itching my brain for a bit so this is me getting it out! Please review and let me know what you think!
