"We found it. Their Quinjet's in hangar five, north runway."

"Alright, Lang." Steve spoke.

Scott, who was on Steve's shield in his little ant form, suddenly grew to human size and roundhouse-kicked Spider-Man. He ran back over to Steve and Alex, returning the shield to its rightful owner.

"There's two on the parking deck, one of 'em is Maximoff. I'm gonna grab her--Rhodey, you wanna take Cap?" Tony ordered.

"There's two in the terminal: Wilson and Barnes."

"Barnes is mine!" T'Challa yelled.

"This is insanity." Alex spoke to Steve. "But, we outnumber them by one."

"Mr. Stark, what should I do?"

"You can have a go at Alex,"

Alex smirked, her head turning toward the boy.

Steve and T'Challa began aggressively fighting, and the tension was thick. They weren't just brawling because they were on opposite sides, but Alex knew Steve would defend Bucky until the day he dies.

"Alright, kid," Alex spoke. "It's nap time,"

She lunged at Spider-Man, trying to grab a hold of him so she could drain him. However, he was quick. He moved with agility, his webs allowing him to swing away from her every time she got close.

She did grab him, for merely a second, but only could drain him a little bit.

"Woah, that's so cool! You can take my energy?"

Alex stopped fighting for a moment.

"Look, I like you. You've got spunk. But for the love of God, will you stop talking?"

"Sure thing!"

He swept her leg, to her surprise. She quickly got up, and told herself to stop going easy on him. She didn't want to hurt him though, hell, she didn't want to hurt anybody here. These were her friends, for fuck's sakes.

As she kept throwing punches that he dodged, she was now moving in on him. However, suddenly, a new face appeared.

Loki was casting a hologram of himself, right next to her.

"Oh, dear, you look busy."

"Loki, you could not have chosen a worse time," She dodged a sweep from Spider-Man.

"Who are you talking to?" The kid asked, not ceasing his fighting.

"Well, I'll leave you to it. You're doing great, darling."

"Loki, wait--"

And he was gone. Alex sighed, and decided she was done fighting this kid. So, she simply held out her hand, and knocked him out cold asleep.

About a hundred yards over, Scott was facing Natasha.

"Look, I really don't want to hurt you,"

"I wouldn't stress about it." She grinned.

Natasha kicked Scott in the groin, causing him to grunt in pain. She pinned his arm behind his back, almost having him in a headlock. However, he turned tiny, and flipped her over by her wrist. He dragged her, and she squirmed all over the tarmac. But, he was quickly overturned by her zapping him with her wrist technology.

Scott went flying and hit a plane like a bug to a windshield.

Satisfied with Spider-Man on the ground, Alex moved to where Clint and Wanda were. Tony was above the pair, firing explosives at them. She barely made it to the pair as Tony descended.

"Wanda, I think you hurt Vision's feelings."

"You locked me in my room." She retorted.

"Join the 'Tony locked me in my tower' club, sis." Alex spoke.

"First, that's an exaggeration. Second, I did it to protect you." Tony argued before adding, "Hey Clint."

"Hey man,"

"Clearly, retirement doesn't suit you. Tired of shooting golf?"

Alex rolled her eyes.

"Well, I played eighteen, shot eighteen. Just can't seem to miss!"

Clint shot an arrow at Tony's hand, barely missing it.

"First time for everything," He teased.

Clint smirked. "Made you look,"

Out of no where, a car fell, followed by multiple cars. Wanda moved them, aiming at Tony with her mind. Several collapsed on him, and Alex winced.

"That looked like it hurt," She spoke to Wanda.

"I aim for perfection," Wanda shrugged.

They made their way back over to Steve, where Scott was back to his full size. He held something up to Steve, which looked like a tiny circular object.

"Throw the toy car at this," Scott instructed.

Steve nodded, throwing the car as he was told. When it hit the circular object, it grew in size, violently tumbling toward Rhodey and catching on fire.

"It was supposed to be a water truck." Scott said sheepishly. "Sorry,"

"There's our ride," Wanda said as she, Clint, and Alex sprinted toward the helicopter.

Their running was going by Scott and Steve, and also Bucky and Sam as they had now exited the terminal. Their running was halted, however, by a laser from the sky that burned a line in front of them. Alex looked up at the culprit, and there hovering was Vision.

"Captain Rogers," His voice boomed. "I know you believe what you're doing is right. But, for the collective good, you must surrender now."

"What do we do, Steve?" Alex asked.

Their opponents lined up on the other side of the line. One by one, they appeared. First it was Nat and Tony, then joined by T'Challa. Rhodey flew down next to Tony, and lastly came Spider-Man. It was now even, six against six.

After neither side moved a muscle, Steve spoke.

"We fight."

"This is gonna end well," Nat huffed.

Both sides began walking toward each other, before breaking into a jog.

"They're not stopping," Spider-Man said nervously.

"Neither are we,"

Then, they clashed.

Tony immediately delivered a hard punch that was blocked by Steve's shield. The undeniable tension they always felt was oozing out in this fight. T'Challa took on his sworn enemy, the Winter Soldier. His claws were no match for Bucky's bionic arm. Spider-Man went flying into Alex's grasp thanks to Wanda's mind-control.

Alex tried to grab Spider-Man's mask off, but it was on tight. She tried to knock him out again, but he simply swung away from her. Clint and Natasha brawled, despite their close friendship. He easily pinned her down, flipping her over his shoulder.

"We're still friends, right?" She spoke.

"Depends on how hard you hit me,"

Nat flipped him over, but she was quickly pulled off of him by Wanda. She sent Natasha flying away, hitting the ground with a hard 'thud'.

Alex ran over to Wanda, who was keeping Natasha away. She ran over to T'Challa, grabbing onto him and hoisting herself on his shoulders. Bucky had a chance to catch his breath as Alex drained the Black Panther of his energy.

"I had him," Bucky breathed.

"I think this is two points for me, and you zero, yeah?" She retorted, running back to wear Spider-Man was now assaulting Steve.

"Look, kid, there's a lot going on here that you don't understand." She overheard Steve say.

"Mr. Stark said you'd say that, wow." Spider-Man chuckled.

He began to tangle Steve in his webs, and Alex placed her hands on her hips.

"You don't learn, do you?"

She froze him in place, causing him to fall asleep.

"Thanks, kid." Steve grinned.

"I think my role as 'kid' has been taken."

She walked over to peel off his mask, but Steve interrupted her.

"Not now. Let's go."

"I just wanted to see what he looked like," She mumbled, running with him to where Bucky was. When they reached him, he looked nervous.

"We have to go. That guy's probably in Siberia by now," He spoke.

"We gotta draw out the flyers. I'll take Vis, you two get to the jet." Steve responded.

"No, you get to the jet! All three of you," Sam's voice rang in the 'com system. "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 added.

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

"Alright, Sam, what's the play?" Alex asked.

"We need a diversion. Something big."

Then, Scott came in. "I got something kind of big, but I can't hold it very long. On my signal, run like hell. If I tear myself in half, well, don't come back for me."

"He's gonna tear himself in half?" Alex furrowed her brows.

"You sure, Scott?"

"I do it all the time." He responded. "I mean, once. In a lab. Then, I passed out."

Alex threw her hands up.

Right in front of their eyes, Scott became giant.

"Oh my god, Ant-Man is huge." Alex gasped.

"Guess that's the signal," Steve said.

As Scott rained hell on the other team, Steve, Bucky, and Alex sprinted as fast as they could to the Quinjet.

Alex was intercepted by Tony, who landed hovered above her.

"You touch that Quinjet, you're grounded."

She let a grin fall on her lips. "Don't go all Finding Nemo on me,"

With that, she kept running.

Tony and Spider-Man tried to contain Scott, and Clint faced off with T'Challa. Wanda intercepted Rhodey, who almost got to the trio. Vision, who spotted the escapees, caused a building to collapse right in front of them. Wanda, however, kept the building from touching them, a scream emitting from her lips.

Once they reached the Quinjet, Nat was waiting there, guarding it.

"You're not gonna stop."

"You know I can't," Steve spoke.

"I'm gonna regret this." She said, earning confused faces. She held up her wrist, shooting electricity at T'Challa, who had snuck up behind them.

Alex grinned, pulling Natasha in for a hug. Nat wasn't a touchy person, but she welcome the hug anyways.

As chaos went on outside of the hangar, they fired up the Quinjet. T'Challa desperately tried to hang on the bottom of it, but eventually jumped off as it soared higher.

Steve and Bucky shared a grin, which Alex matched. They had succeeded, and were free of the opposing Avengers.

They did not, however, know what destruction they'd left behind.
