i blinked slowly, coming back to my senses.
alarms blared around me, small fires raged, smoke forced its way into my lungs.
i coughed, trying to make sense of what was happening. the memories slowly came back to me, and i realized we had to run. by the sound and placement of the explosion, it was an engine. and it needed to be fixed.
"hill?" i heard fury's voice through the earpiece.
"number three engine is down," maria responded. "can we get a run in?"
i coughed again, running out of the lab. i stumbled into captain america, who steadied me.
"minnie," my dad called from in front of him "you okay?"
"m'fine," i responded, my voice a little hoarse. "you?"
"i'm okay."
another voice came through the earpiece, "turbine's loose. mostly intact, but it's impossible to get out there and make repairs while we're in the air."
"we lose one more engine, we won't be," maria hill muttered. "somebody's got to get inside and patch that engine."
"stark, you copy?" fury's voice came through this time.
my dad and i both answered, "yep. on it."
fury called out orders to coulson and a few other agents. i nodded briefly at phil, before ignoring my earpiece and following my dad and captain america.
"find engine three," my dad told captain america as we ran down a smoke-filled corridor. "i'll meet you there."
captain america nodded, running off.
i was about to follow him, when my dad grabbed my arm, "and you. hide. stay safe."
"dad, i can't do that," i shook my head. "you know i can't."
