The Last Roger (COMPLETED STORY)

Part 19: What does the moo cow say? AHHHHHH

"Is that?" A young male nurse in scrubs asks as a team of nurses with a paramedic sprint through the halls of the local hospital with me in one of their stretchers. One pumps air into my lungs. Another kept an I.V bag with me as the others yelled something wrong with me in their nurse codes. I wasn't fully conscious for this. Thank God for that. One of the nurses nods "Yeah. Mary Rogers. 92. Impelled multiple times by steel bars. Concussion. Multiple broken bones. Collapsed right lung. They were buried for four days under that fallen SHIELD building. They just found her today. She's probably dehydrated and has lost a lot of blood." Another nurse looked at my arm. The bones were already healing rapidly but not correctly. "We're going to have to reset most of these broken bones."

A nurse looked at my broken body "Can she take that?" I had bruises along my body. There were multiple red bloody holes along my body as the skin started pulling itself back together again. The young male nurse nods, he knows a little more than normal people do about me,  "Yes she can but we have to hurry. She's probably going to..." One of my bones healed back into place causing me to wake up yelling. Multiple nurses try to reassure me as more bones follow suit "Sedate me!" I scream now at the top of my lungs. I'm safe and alive but the hell the serum is putting me through is not something I'm about to willingly stay awake for. Another bone sets as a blood-curdling scream ripped out of my lungs. There's a pinch in my arm but no relief.

Another one goes into my arm, causing my body to relax ever so slightly but my eyes stay open. "Another one?" A nurse asks tentatively. Another nurse looks over me. "Let's get the specialist in here to decide that." "Like hell. Put four more in me!" I grit my teeth back. The lead nurse shakes her head "Ms. Rogers you may be used to commanding orders but this is my hospital and I'm not about to...!" I take three needles from one of the nurse's hands and drive them into my arm, pressing the medicine into my veins. "What the hell?!" The lead nurse explains as the sweet sensation of darkness engulfs my senses.

My dreams only replayed my last moments with Bucky over and over. Though the ends did change. In all of them, Bucky found me in the rubble but that's where the similarities end. The first time, he just watched. Watch me drown in my blood. The second, he drove one of the bars further into my heart. Killing me. From there, he would find me then kill me. I woke up finally as the nightmare of Bucky killing me with a bullet to the head ended. Nat looked to me, groggy with sleep-deprived eyes. Her eyes are wide awake as I look around, freaking out. For a moment, I had no memory of how I got here. She grabbed my hand before speaking calmly to me "Hey. Hey. It's ok. You're in a hospital. Just breathe." The memories come crashing back to me as tears form in my eyes. "What's wrong? Are you still in pain?" Nat asked as she moved to get the nurse. My hand closes tightly around her hand

"Bucky..."

She understood. She knew who Bucky was to me but she also knew that he was the Winter Soldier. She wiped away the tears from my cheek as a mother would "I know." Taking deep breaths, she waits for me to regain myself as much as humanly possible. "How are you feeling?" She asks finally. A groan leaves me as I get a feel of my body "Like I got plowed by a building." A soft laugh leaves me as Nat laughs with me. The laugh causes my chest to feel hammered slamming into my healing ribs. Her smile doesn't touch her eyes from her laugh. "What's wrong?" A sigh leaves her as she takes my hand "When I released all of SHIELD's secrets. That included the security camera recordings. May...there's a lot of videos of you out there." She doesn't have to finish for me to understand "Everyone I've killed is plastered across the internet."

Nat nodded gently, rubbing my hand to comfort me "The government wants to arrest you." Attempting to laugh, I let out a small groan instead as the hammer smashed against my ribs "It's ok...I deserve it." Her eyes narrowed at me "If you weren't injured, I'd slap you at the very least." I smile at the thought "But I do. I helped Hydra." "You 're only working with them to stay with Bucky." "That's not what I mean." I interrupt her defence. Groaning again as I sit up "I helped Hydra grow in SHIELD. My legacy. My life...wasted." Her arm wrapped around me into a hug, being gentle not to squeeze too hard. "Stop beating yourself up. Focus on recovering then get back up and kick Hydra to the curb. You did a lot of good with SHIELD. You probably saved thousands of lives and you can do that again with your family. With the Avengers."

She knows I call her family. I call all of the Avengers my family. There wasn't any way for me to come out on top in an argument against Nat so I just smiled at her. She smiled back before pulling out her phone "Since you're no longer in that horrible mindset. I have a few people waiting for you." Turning her FaceTime on, the Avengers all pop onto the screen squeezed together on top of each other. Waving, smiling. Tony is cursing me out for being so reckless and Clint offered to beat up anyone for me. I couldn't help but smile. This provided the perfect distraction from my questions that loomed over me. Where was Bucky? Is Steve ok? Did Sam make it out? Is Agent Hill still alive? FaceTime ends with them all saying goodbye and a giant bouquet of flowers arrives with a card from the Avengers signed by Tony.

Nat starts giving me the information as soon as I close the card "Steve going to recover. They found him in the river. He'll heal faster than you since he only fell into the river and not through a building. Sam well...why don't you talk to him yourself?" She waves to a figure sitting outside my door. Sam, who was patiently waiting, walks in quickly before smiling at me "You look like hell." A snicker leaves me as I examine his face "You're not too far behind me. Did you get into a bar fight?"
