Ally’s job through most of the fight was to keep her teammates safe. Similar to Wanda, she bounced from stand-off to stand-off, giving a helping hand when needed. She was in the midst of putting the fires out from the truck–she heard on the coms Scott thought it was a water truck–when her father approached her. She didn’t stop what she was doing–she didn’t even think to go into a defensive stance–because she didn’t think he was a threat. Obviously he could’ve been if he wanted to be, but she didn’t think he’d fight her. Or he at least wouldn’t throw the first punch.
“Don’t act like I wanted this,” she sneered, raising her voice to be heard over all the commotion. “There is more at play here than you know. We have to stop that doctor, the one that triggered Bucky at the UN.” She wasn’t there, but Steve and Sam had filled her in on what happened. “This isn’t about us and it definitely isn’t about you.”
The echoes of their conversation from the Avengers compound replayed in her head, the differing views and lack of answers. “I’m not going to fight you.” Her voice was firm, decision made. The fires below them finally went out, and she turned to face her father. “But I’ll happily keep you busy.” With her hands now free, she wrapped two air currents around his wrists, pulling his arms behind his back.
“If it is just about that, come back with us. Work with the government, we still have time. But it is not just about it, is it? For some reason, it is more important to get Barnes out of there so he doesn’t have to face charges than to actually go after that doctor.” Tony pointed out. He hated it himself, but in the wake of this, the world needed to see they were taking it seriously. “If Barnes is innocent, I’ll be the first one to pay the lawyers in his defense and make all the statements, but I will not break the law like this. We can play by the rules and stop that guy!” He wished she would see reason in this. He wished for just a moment she would turn and see what they were doing, what they were facing and what would happen if they pushed this too far. In the worst-case scenario on top of the rift this would cause and the criminal status they would get, some of them might be hurt. Both sides had just normal people on their team.
As she had him tight he tried to get out but knew he didn’t have enough data. The only thing he knew was to surprise her. So she struggled and then moved forward fast and hard to break free. “I am warning you only once, I will fight back if you don’t let this go.”
