Re: Midtown - James, Torunn, Natasha, Bucky
[After she and Bucky made their way to James and Torunn's location, Natasha paused just a moment to get her bearings and check for an immediate threat. She saw civilians heading away and nodded her approval, then spotted her son and began to make her way towards him. Halfway there, she spotted a group of Marauders running around a corner and heading for him as well..but she was maybe five feet closer.]
[Natasha didn't hesitate. Leaping onto a car's roof and hopping across two others, gun firing, Natasha dropped back down to the ground in time to take a blow meant for her son. Because of the angle, she took it in her shoulder - some sort of spiked metal pipe she didn't recognize. She could feel her bones crack under the force even as her suit and skin were both punctured, and her right arm lost all feeling, but she never stopped moving. Her fist was slammed into the alien's jaw before she shifted her gun and fired four shots straight into its skull. Pain ripped through her shoulder as the pipe fell out with the momentum of its owner's fall, and Natasha swayed as she bit back a scream, turning in one movement to fire at the rest of the approaching group.]
