Summary: Airport chaos erupts as heroes clash, new allies emerge, and loyalties fracture.
Tony’s fist clashed with Steve’s shield, forcing both of them to take a step backward.
Steve then decided to try and throw the shield at Tony, who waited for the shield to be in the right angle before he blasted it away.
Steve followed the shield with his eyes, which was how he saw Barnes being overwhelmed by T’Challa once again. His metal arm pinned to the ground by the Panther’s foot as the prince was about to punch the war two veteran in the face.
Steve abandoned Tony completely and charged the foreign prince. A stray civilian looking around and calling for his family, not realizing what happening was found himself in the way of the charging man, and Steve didn’t look like he was about to stop.
Tony was about to launch himself in the hope of pushing the man out of a sure death while a web line caught the man and pulled him back to safety.
Tony let out a breath and made a mental note to praise Peter later for following orders. He noticed two arrows fly over everyone head before they expanded into a net and attacked them selves to two doorframes.
Tony was a little confused until he noticed the nets block the exit so a few people holding their phones up to video the fight were stuck inside the building and out of harm way.
None of the others seemed to notice any of that, not even Romanoff who was locked in a hand to hand combat with Sharon, both women looked pretty equal in terms of skill. No matter how much Romanoff proud herself of her training in the red room, the truth is there are plenty other people who trained to the bone in other places. Sharon was one of those.
He gave a glance to the rest of the battlefield.
Barnes was getting back up to his feet and began reaching for his weapon when he was suddenly pushed back. Pietro appeared between the weapon and the super-soldier a cocky smile on his face “Try to keep up old man.”
Then a game began where Pietro ran around the soldier and pushed him slightly in other direction every time, while Barnes tried to catch or punch the speedster.
Vision was handling Hope and Lang, Hope, who apparently could fly using mechanic wings on her back. But that wasn’t what gave Vision his problem with the two. They kept shrinking and growing back to normal.
They were in an impasse. Vision couldn’t land a hit on her, but Hope’s and Lang’s attacks were ineffective against the android’s dense skin.
Rhodey was in the sky, exchanging fire with Wilson. Rhodey tried to keep him fire to a minimum, not wanting to kill anyone by a stray shot. Tony could hear a conversation going between the two through the comms “Wilson, what do you think you are doing? Do you understand what you are throwing away?!”
The Flacon scoffed and retorted “You call yourself a colonel and then going around following Stark like a puppy.”
Rhodey snorted “You don’t seem to understand who leads the team here. If it was up to Tony we would still be talking around, but you see I don’t nearly as nice as he is. I understand when I see a lost cause. Unfortunately, now that’s includes you now.”
With that three small missiles came out of the War-Machine armor and aimed at the jet back on the Wilson’s back.
Wilson dove and avoided the missiles who ended up exploding near a transport vehicle, causing the people riding it to yelp fearfully.
Rhodey cursed before shutting down the rest of his missiles, pushing his boosters further, he tried to catch up to the Flacon’s superior speed and agility to use close range weapons.
Hearing another shout from next to him Tony turned quickly to watch in horror as Steve was engaging Spiderman.
The man stood imposingly over Spiderman’s crouching figure and asked “Who are you and what are you doing here?”
“Umm, I’m Spiderman.” Peter tried to sound casual and bantery, but Tony could hear how nervous he was “And I just swing around and getting civilians out of the way like Mr. Stark told me.”
Steve face darkened at the mention of his name “Anything else he told you?”
Spiderman nodded slowly “Told that even though you are breaking the law and doing bad things you think you are right, which making you very dangerous.”
Damn it Peter, why are you just getting out of there?! That was when Tony noticed the woman holding a small boy in her arms who was laying on the floor just behind Spiderman.
Steve snorted before sending his shield flying, not at Peter but at one of the supporting metals of the gateway which Peter and the civilians were under.
The gateway came down, crushing everyone underneath it. Or it would have if Spiderman, didn’t stand up and caught it.
Steve looked surprised for a moment before smiling at Peter “You’ve got a heart kid, where you from?” He took a step closer, his shield still strapped imposingly to his arm.
Peter was at a loose of what to do obviously, if it was just him he would of thrown the gateway at Rogers and get out of there, but with the civilians there too he had to stay in place to protect them.
Tony was already on his way toward the scene, willing to fighting Steve until Peter manages to get the civilians and himself out of there.
All of the sudden an arrow cut the air between Spiderman and Steve. Forcing the latter to raise his shield. The arrow exploded on contact forcing the blonde to take a few steps backward.
Kate stood just on the side of the gateway and screamed out “Spiderman get them out of here and lets get back to the shadows.”
“Copy that, Artemis.” Was Peter’s immediate response.
Tony wondered how Kate even know to get there in time when he noticed Harely’s drone hovering over the scene.
Steve shook of the blast and frowned “What is that? Did Tony build his own team? How petty…”
“Yhea, no old man. Sorry to tell you but Mr. Stark, was against us coming here, but someone needed to make sure no one else kept dying because you are an idiot. You can call me Artemis, by the way.” Kate said, as bluntly and disrespectful as ever.
Tony’s comm cam to life and Romanoff voice spoke “What the hell Stark? Who are the newbies on your team?”
Tony could hear the touch of anger in her usually controlled voice, which mean the widow was pissed off about being caught off guard. Tony also noticed how she used ‘your team’ without including herself.
Tony’s answer was brief and harsh “Focus on the fight you are losing Romanoff.” And he killed the line.
He saw Steve’s frown turn into a scowl and he growled out “It looks like someone should teach you to respect your elders.”
Tony caught the quick look of panic passing on Kate’s face before she drew another arrow and prepared her bow. Tony saw red at that moment and launched himself forward.
Steve was caught off guard by his arrival and could protect himself as Tony tackled him at full speed, sending the super soldier flying back through a wall.
Tony turned to Kate and ordered her “I got this, you join Spiderman and watch each other’s back.” The raven head nodded before turning and following her fellow hero in training direction.
Tony turned back to Steve, seeing him getting back to his feet, he could see Steve giving some orders using his comm, and before he could question the blonde what he was up to the ground began shaking.
Tony turned sharply to its origin, and he saw the Lang guy growing to the size of a building! Looking around he saw the shakes were causing many civilians that were still hiding around in the hopes of going unnoticed having equipment falling on top of them, and because of the shakes they could even stand up on their feet to run away.
“Vision, Quicksilver, take away the civilians from here.” Was the only thing Tony could think of, and as the two of them followed his order he took into the air to engage the giant man.
Tony tried to fly around launching energy blasts from his repulses at the man, using his suits agility and speed he managed to avoid all of Lang’s swapping attempt.
Tony was sure to an outside it looked funny, like a regular man fighting a fly.
That was until Lang seemed to have enough and grabbed a plane that was parked on the runaway, before he used it to swap at Tony.
Tony was about to avoid it when he noticed three people that were hiding inside the plane, looks like a captain and a couple of stewardesses.
With no other choice Tony took the hit full force to catch the three people midair and try to cushion their fall with his own armored body.
Fortunately, just then Vision swapped in and grabbed the people from his hands, Tony crushed landed on the ground and had to avoid some airplane debris, but he could live with it.
Just as he was recovering a big shadow covered the ground around him, he looked up to see the foot of the giant man about to land on him. Was Lang fucking carzy?!
With no other choice Tony prepared to launch a few missiles that will force the giant man to take a step back and off Tony, until a scarlet wisps began rapping themselves around the man’s foot.

Wanda was fighting no one in particular she made a show out of shooting random bursts of her power in the direction of her supposed teammates fights, and is she missed them by a small margin… Opps.
Of course, it was more than that, it was early in the fight she recognized the presences of Peter and Kate in the airport, at first, she was confused a little bit miffed that Tony let the kids join the fight.
But then she saw how they stuck to the edges of the field, pulling away civilians still trying to get to safety amidst the fighting. Wanda smiled and decided to help them. Whose to know if one of her misfired energy shots found its way to a debris, sending it away from a potential victim, or if she pulls someone out of a tight spot while trying to try and catch the agile Black Panther.
Everything was pure chaos and Wanda had hard time following what was going on, at one point she caught her brother fighting, if you can call it that, against the winter soldier. But when Rogers abandoned his fight with the panther to fight… Peter?! The panther engaged the metal armed man while her brother moved on to deal with Tony’s bee friend.
But all hell broke loose when she heard Rogers’s voice through the comms “Scott, I need that distraction you talked about the rest of use get ready to run toward the jet.”
Wanda began to wonder what the hell Rogers was talking about, she wasn’t any part of a backup plan.
She kept wondering it until the ground shook and she heard Van-Dyne’s voice calling out “Scott, you idiot!”
Wanda’s eyes flew open as Lang grew to a size larger than the airport itself in height. She was even more confused when she noticed her brother and Vision pulling back from the fight.
That was until she saw them pulling people that were about to be stepped on by the new giant on the field, then Tony got into the fry trying to hold back Lang with blasts and agility midair.
Wanda’s finger itched as she considered her next course of action, she really wanted to help Tony, but she knew she has to maintain her cover for as long as possible in case Rogers manages to somehow get away.
Everything changed though when Lang picked up that plane and attacked Tony with it. At first, she wasn’t worried because she figured Tony would just avoid it.
But when she saw Iron-man taking the hit head on her heart skipped a bit, then she noticed the three people he was carrying from amongst the ruins of the plane. Vision flew in to pick the civilians up, and Tony ended up on the ground.
She heard Lang laughing deeply as he raised his foot and was about to step on her Tony.
