Chapter 32 Civil War (3/5)
"Hey, Vis, I'll show you something fun…" Wanda smiled and decided to unleash something she'd been preparing for a few minutes.
"Clint, duck," She told Clint before a big red shockwave of chaos magic spread out from her as the center.
"Fuck, Wanda, give me a timely heads up." Clint was full of complaints as he barely ducked to stop himself from being thrown away from Wanda due to the effects of the shockwave.
That Chaos Shockwave spread out in the blink of an eye, reaching Vision, Spider-Man, and the 8 Iron Man suits that were attacking them. All of them froze in their place from the effects of the energy that was coating them.
Wanda could've just immobilized those suits, but she decided to trash them, causing some loss to Tony. She was still bitter about being treated as a prisoner when she didn't do anything wrong.
With a thought, the 8 suits started compressing into balls of metal, basically becoming ruined. It was her telekinesis, but it wasn't exactly telekinesis per se, she was able to release Chaos energy to coat her targets and then manipulate that energy to move the target around.
Then she separated Spider-Man from Vision and threw those Iron Man balls at Vision. She knew that Vision could take it, but Spider-Man would die.
In the end, this conflict wasn't a deadly conflict. She knew that Both Steve and Tony had told their people and the 'hired' help to not kill anyone.
Vision prepared to turn intangible but Wanda used a familiar trick to stop him. The mind stone got a red glow and Vision lost control over his body, disrupting his concentration.
He was able to snap out of it quickly this time since he'd made some countermeasures, but it wasn't enough. He still ended up getting hit by two of those super-compressed spheres. They made him lose his concentration and Wanda was able to use her old trick to put him out of commission for a while.
She'd seen that Spider-Man was just a kid that Tony'd gotten so she held back and threw him at the Punisher's opponent, it was one of the physical power-based Inhumans. She didn't care much for most of the people that were here, nor did she care that the Punisher was on their side and would now be dealing with two assailants. Her goal was to make sure that Cap and Bucky were able to leave.
She moved to look at the center of the fight where Iron Man and War Machine were fighting Captain America and The Winter Soldier.
"You couldn't have done that before?" Clint said as he took deep breaths.

"It takes preparation. I had to make sure that the blast was controlled. I don't want to end up killing someone. The last time I did this, it ended up decimating every single Ultron robot in the surrounding 200 meters." Wanda said nonchalantly, referring to the time her brother died and she felt an unbearable heartache, releasing a huge shockwave of pure Chaos energy.
"Crazy—" Clint was about to continue speaking when they were attacked by a cold breeze before it blew into a full-on icy tundra.
The area around him and Wanda was covered in ice as a female Inhuman with the powers to manipulate ice walked out of the icy mist that she'd created.
Wanda wanted to support Steve and Bucky and tried to finish it fast, so she sent a concentrated beam of Chaos energy at their new opponent.
"Everyone's got a gimmick now…" Clint was full of complaints and nocked an arrow at her chest. It was an electric stunner.
Just as Wanda's Chaos Beam was about to hit her, an ice wall came in front of the ice girl, blocking Wanda's attack. Though the Chaos Beam managed to destroy a huge chunk of the ice, it didn't hit the girl. The same happened with Clint's arrow.
"Destroy the surrounding ice. She's using it to augment her abilities." Clint was a battle-hardened veteran and was able to easily discern the attack's source.
"On it." Before Wanda could release a large blast to clean out the surrounding ice, she and Clint were bombarded by extremely sharp spikes, so she had to form a shield to defend herself.
Seeing as there were too many spikes in the surroundings, Wanda released a strong red glow that formed a sphere around her and Clint, creating a shield around them.
"Get ready Clint, The shield isn't going to hold for long." Chaos magic wasn't very stable and Wanda wasn't proficient enough to create a long-lasting shield. So, though the shield was strong and protected them very well, it was a strain on Wanda to maintain it.
She took a deep breath and gathered a large amount of Chaos magic, planning to create another shockwave. At the same time, Clint nocked another arrow to stun the girl.
This time, the ice girl wasn't able to stop her since Wanda and Clint were shielded.
"Now!" Wanda gave Clint the signal before the shield dropped and a strong shockwave spread out from her as the center.
She'd taken longer this time with full concentration so she was able to bypass Clint and he wasn't affected by it, but the surrounding ice was completely pushed away.
Clint had already released his arrow and at the moment the ice cleared, revealing the ice inhuman, his arrow hit her in the stomach, shocking her and incapacitating her.
"Let's go!" They didn't waste any time as they ran to the center of the fight.
…
With Natasha.
She knew that she wasn't Quake's match when she saw her. Nat spent some time avoiding Quake as she looked for a way to get rid of her.
That was when she noticed someone who seemed to be just viewing the fighting, seemingly not planning to get involved.
'When did Tony meet with the Inhumans…' She recognized Blackbolt. The Shield archives had quite a bit of information about the Inhumans and their kingdom.
'He's going to be perfect to deal with her.' She decided to lure Quake to Balckbolt so that they could do their own thing.
She did exactly that and in the end, she didn't even have to convince them to fight. They seemed to have something of a feud among themselves.
Alex was relieved after Quake stopped fighting with Nat, he hadn't planned on revealing his weakness to her and was glad that Nat took the initiative to get rid of Quake instead of continuing the fight. He was in utter pain and wanted to kill himself from the effects of the vibrations.
'If this is after I have some resistance, what would I have felt without it…' Alex felt shivers go down his non-existent spine. He had no plans to bond with Quake despite how overpowered she was. If he's bonded with her while she uses her powers he would probably be annihilated.
He looked ahead and saw that the fight between Blackbolt and Quake seemed to be personal.
'I should've watched Inhumans and Agents of Shield…' Alex didn't understand the conflict. He'd stopped watching Agents of Shield after Coulson died and was brought back for the 15th time.
'Probably related to her mother…' He thought that it probably had something to do with Jiaying— Quake's mother, who was supposed to be connected to the Inhumans.
[Nat, I doubt that you can help much in this crazy brawl without using some powers. How about I create a decoy of you and you use your White Knight Persona to go all out?] Alex suggested. He wanted to see how much better he would be able to act when connected with a host.
He'd realized that without being connected with a host, although he had a very strong physique, that was all he had going for him. He wasn't able to channel his powers as well, both lightning and magic were nerfed when he wasn't with her or Wanda.
He was only able to tell this difference at this point because all the training that Alex had done with Wanda and Nat had been without separating from them. He never had the chance to test things while separated from them.
The compound was under constant and complete supervision by Friday except for their personal rooms. So he couldn't actually separate from them within the compound except for their special activities in the personal rooms.
[Sounds like a plan.] Nat also liked fighting in that persona and going all out. Beating up the Black Panther had been pretty fun.
Alex formed a large bubble around them while camouflaging things as if Black Widow was just standing there before separating from her and turning an identical replica. Nat on the other hand lost her usual combat suit which turned into her white armor with the face mask and everything.
It all happened within a period of 5 seconds as an invisible White Knight went away from Alex's copy of Natasha who had someone approach her for a fight.
Seeing an invisible person going through the battlefield, three of Tony's suits instantly targeted Natasha aka White Knight. Friday had registered White Knight as someone who helped Steve and Bucky and treated her as a hostile individual.
'Side-to-side comparison, eh?' Alex smiled as he warned Natasha of the incoming danger.
Even the set of suits was identical, one used for physical combat, one for weapons, and another for auxiliary support.
'Having months of a looming apocalypse does this to a man…' Alex thought as he understood some of the reasons that Tony has so many suits right now. The presence of the multiple worlds made him panic and he did the only thing he knew how to do. He built another fucking army of suits.
