Out Of Time

Previously on Out Of Time...

Y/N woke up, already knowing where she was. Her hand immediately went to her stomach as her eyes replayed the fighting she had witnessed. Her heart beat quickened as she relived those terrible moments. The monitors she was connected to warned the medical staff outside. Helen and her nurses rushed in.

"Y/N," Helen called. "I need you to breathe."

"My... I... the baby..." Y/n stammered through the struggle. "Is my baby.... It is okay?"

"You came in sweating and trembling," Helen explained carefully. "It was obvious to me that you had been struggling to keep food down and that there was blood loss. You were immediately brought into-"

"Just tell me," Y/N begged, voice small and cracking. "Just get it over with and tell me..."

"I'm sorry, Y/N. The baby was lost due to a miscarriage."

A sob ripped through Y/N's throat and out her mouth. She leaned her head back against her pillows and cover her mouth with a hand as tears began to cascade down her cheeks. Her heart began to beat rapidly, causing the monitors around her to freak.

"Y/N, I need you to calm down," Helen coaxed. "You're body has been through a traumatic experience and needs rest. You need to try and calm." The sobs and strangled breathing only escalated. "I need something to help calm her down. Now!"

A nurse quickly handed Helen a syringe. Helen rushed to insert it into Y/N's IV. It almost immediately helped, but didn't put her to sleep.

"I'm going to go inform Tony," Helen stated. "We'll be right back."

Then Y/N was left alone to her thoughts. The blame and the guilt that she was feeling, all for herself. Her baby was lost because of her. Because, if she would have just told Steve and Tony, they might have stopped fighting. If she would have just told them, they wouldn't have let her anywhere near the stress. If she had just been a little more focused on the health of her baby instead of the chaos around her, her baby still might be safely inside of her.

But instead, she didn't do any of those things. And she tried to stop things she couldn't control and saw things she wishes she could unsee. Y/N's hands rested above her belly as she let the tears flow. Nothing mattered now. How could it? Her family was torn apart. Her child was gone.

She could feel Tony's thoughts as he came towards her room. He was feeling all the guilt and blame as well, putting it on himself. Y/N didn't want him to feel that way, but she had no energy to stop it. There was nothing left inside her to help him feel better, especially when she felt that way too. She quickly decided that she couldn't be there anymore. She couldn't face him, watch him slowly turn to hate her because she had killed their child. It would break her more than she was currently broken.

So, with a deep breath, she focused on the one place that she felt she might be safe for a minute. She ripped off her IV as she opened a portal. Y/N hurried through it the best she could in her weakened state, falling onto the ground on the other side of it. Turning around, she caught a glimpse of the door opening, but the portal was shut before Y/N saw anything else. She curled up on the floor where she was, not caring to look at her surroundings, and let herself go.

May and Coulson were in a bar. Coulson was reading the newspaper as the news played on a TV above them. While Y/N had been away, their troubles didn't stop. They now were facing a new threat by the name of Hive, with the face of Grant Ward. He was trying to control all Inhumans and even create them. Hive was currently in control of Daisy.
