Hidden behind closed doors

Part Twenty-Six

No ones point of view

It has been around a week since Nat and Harper baby sitter Clint kids. Everyone was back now except for Thor and Loki who presumably where still on Asgard.

At this moment in time some of the team where out on a mission. A simple mission or so they thought. Steve, Bucky, Sam and Harper where the ones taking on the mission. It was supposed to be a simple data retrieval mission but once they got to the hydra base someone or something ticked them off and they got into a heated battle.

At this point they where wishing the rest of the team was there to provide back up.

"There's too many we have to retreat" Sam said through his comms. Steve was inside the building retrieving the data. Well he was meant to be but he also got caught up in fighting by the time he got to the data it was getting to much for the others.

"Come on guys, a few more minutes I've almost got this" Steve replied though his ear piece as he started the download. Tapping on the table as he waited for it to complete.

"Cap things are getting heavy out here" Bucky spoke quickly, a shortness of breath in his voice as he was hiding behind a barricade shorting anyone he could get a shot off on. 

"Harper do you read me" Steve said though his comms worried about the blonde girl who he hadn't heard from in awhile. "Harper!" Bucky shouted into his ear piece.

"Crap she's not responding. Does anyone have eyes on Harper" Sam searched the skys, dodging incoming bullets as he searched for the blonde. "I see her, Cap She's down. We got to get out of here now"

"A few more minutes" Steve stubbornness was kicking in. Fury request this data and he wouldn't go back empty handed.

"Steve we don't have time. She's been shot. We need to get to a hospital!" Sam yelled angrily, he hooked his arms underneath the girl and picked her up.

His wings flew out and he took off towards the jet. Bucky watched Sam fly away decide to retreat also. "I've got it" Steve assured them and quickly made his way out the building.

"Now hurry your ass up"

Sam had by now gotten onto the jet and placed the bleeding girl down onto the floor. He carefully scanned over her. "Natasha going to kill us" he whispered to himself.

The hole was through her stomach, the bullet still wedged in causing less bleeding which Sam was thankful for. He quickly took off his wings and grabbed a towel from the bathroom and used to to put pressure on the bleeding.

"Harper" The girl was unresponsive, he used to fingers and stuck them against her neck finding her pulse when he found one he felt relieved.

"Shit Harper!" Bucky dropped down to his knees next to her once he had gotten onto the jet. His breathing was loud and heavy as he spoke clearly from the running.

"Is she-"

"Yes she's alive but she won't be if we don't leave now" just as on cue Steve had jogged onto the jet. Taking a seat straight at the wheel. "Someone get in contact with the rest of the team"

Some time later

Natasha pulled up to the hospital in her black corvette. Her legs pulling her out the car at an immense speed as she ran straight into the hospital. When she got there she found Maria.

"Where is she" Her voice cracked while she spoke. "She's in surgery. Come on you can watch if you want. Steve's already through" The redhead nodded following Maria through to the where Steve was standing watching the surgery.
