A Little Calm...

Blood Loss

Knocking On Heavens Door - Blakwal

The knife slid easily out from your stomach. Bucky rushes over to you, ignoring the woman now walking slowly backwards.

Flag-smasher
"I'm sorry... One world, one people."

With that she took the knife and pressed it to her own throat. Before Bucky could stop her, she made a precise, sharp slit. For a moment Bucky thought about going to help her, but only took one step before kneeling back down to you.

You're trying to focus on staying awake, which is being made easier by the pain. You look at his face as he frantically tries to keep pressure on the wound and call for help.
As his head thrashes in every direction, shouting and trying to find anyone who might help. You raise a hand to his cheek, making him stop to look at you. The panicked look in his eyes turns to desperation as you smile slightly, and close yours.

Bucky's POV

Bucky
"No no no no, Y/n, stay awake - HELP!- Y/n? Come on say something. Anything! I might even tolerate a snarky comment at this point."

I gave up waiting for a medic to magically appear and lifted her up. I constantly checked her wound to see how much blood she was losing. With every step, I sped up, trying to keep her in a folded enough position that the wound closed in on itself.

When I finally reached the outside, ambulances were already waiting for people. As I lay her down on a bed and explained her injuries to the emt, a council member approached from behind.

Council member
"Hey! That's the girl who broke into the summit!"

He began to signal for an officer to come over. I stood in front of him and lowered his arm.

Bucky
"You don't wanna do that."

The man gave me a look of annoyance and a hint of fear.

Council member
"And why not, Mr Barnes?"

Was I supposed to be impressed by him knowing my name? I used to be the most decorated assassin for an underground agency that had its entire data base leaked onto the internet. I'm not exactly inconspicuous.

Bucky
"Because getting stabbed and arrested in the same evening makes for a crappy day?"

He looked at me like I was child. I was just trying to lighten the mood but fine, be like that. He tried to move past me and signal the officer but I stop him again.

Bucky
"Look okay, okay. She was a covert part of my team, she was just there for surveillance."

He gave me a troubled look and squinted slightly before speaking.

Council member
"If that's true, then she needs a new profession. Didn't even notice the god damn smoke bombs before it was too late."

As he turned to walk away, I laughed in a way that made it seem as though I agreed. Then, I too turned back to make sure Y/n was still being treated and not wrapped in a sheet. Thankfully there she was, still unconscious but being temporarily patched up as the ambulance prepared to leave.
I walked over to the emt closing the door and asked which hospital he was headed to. I noted it in my head, but before I could get to the bike I'd borrowed, down comes Sam with Karli, limp in his arms.
