chapter twelve- her fault

A/n- warning: self harm (it's a tiny part and it isn't until the end of the chapter. Feel free to skip over it if it makes you uncomfortable. Enjoy)

Her fault

"Ms. Barton you are needed in the conference room" Jarvis informed Liza from the speakers. "Thank you Jarvis" she spoke polightly, walking out of her room as she did so.

Once she got out of the elevator she walked through the glass set of doors and sat down in between bucky and Natasha and waited for the meeting to begin.

"Hello everyone. Glad everyone could make it" Tony announced sarcastically as he walked through the glass doors. "Can we just get this over with? I have better things to do." Natasha rolled her eyes.

"Calm down pipsqueak, I'm getting there" he picked up a remote from off of the table. Tony clicked a button and a presentation was on the TV screen infront of them.

"Fury wants us to go to a hydra base and steal some information" he stated blatantly. He clicked a button and an image of the base was shown. It so happened to be the base they stayed at. The two soldier straightened their backs. It was quite visible of their discomfort.

Tony eyed them carefully before continuing with the presentation. "We have to get a few different things while we're there. We have to get that book that they used to turn you into...well you and we need to get their plans" everyone nodded there head except for the two who were still taking it in that they'd have to go back to the one place they wanted to escape from.

"Fury said that you two didn't have to go considering your dilemma" he added for Liza and bucky. "I'll go" she said blankly. The team eyed her nervously but bucky was the most concern out of them all. "Are you sure? We spent years trying to escape from them, are you sure you want to go back?" She didn't say anything instead she nodded her head.

"Okay. I'll go if you're going" he huffed. Bucky didn't want to go but he wanted to be there for Liza on an emotional level and so he could protect her. He knew damn well that she could protect herself but it would make him feel better knowing she'd be safe with him. Or at least more protected.

"You know you don't have to go with us" Clint told her hesitantly, stopping her from walking any further down the hallway. He didn't want her to feel like she had to go. He just wanted her to be okay. "I know uncle clint but the base you saw was the base bucky and I were kept at. If anyone should be on this mission it's me and bucky"

Clint nodded his head and they kept walking. Liza got dressed into a sheild uniform like the one Natasha wears to her missions and then walked out to the quinjet. They all boarded the plane and sat down in the seats. Everyone buckled up except for the two ex hydra soldiers.

"Aren't you gonna put your seat belt on? What if we crash?" Nat asked walking up to the front of the quinjet to co-pilot. "If we die we die" Liza shrugged. "Although I'd much rather go out a cooler way like...an avalanche maybe even add a helicopter in there I don't know" bucky glared at her for a moment before actually answering the question. "It won't take long to get there"

Clints heart ached at his words. Liza was so close to him and he didn't even know it. "What do you mean? How long does it take to get there?" Clint asked looking back from the pilot's seat. "Not too long. Maybe about thirty minutes away from here" bucky told him with an estimated guess.

Natasha rubbed his back knowing exactly what he was feeling. "It's okay Clint she's back now" she smiled at her bestfriend. He took a shaky breath and nodded.

Liza sat and fiddled with her fingers. She was anxious about going back to her old hydra base but if it meant she could maybe kill a few people that made her life hell than it would be worth it.
