Peter landed in a clearing loosening his grip on my waist, everyone else was crowded around Steve who was laying down on the ground. There were multiple unconscious bodies placed around the area like flowers in a field.
It looked weirdly satisfying, it was like a bouquet of success each body representing the demise of the wicked.
I quickly ran towards Steve and stared down in horror. The sight made me want to shut my eyes tight and fall to my knees yet I didn't give in to my wants.
"No one said it was this extensive" I said as I stared down he was barely breathing, there was a bullet wound in his upper arm, stomach and heart.
He was losing blood rapidly which was made obvious by the sticky red liquid seeping through his suit coating everything around him.
I kneeled down and placed my hands over the wound on his heart closing my eyes. The wisps of gold and white appeared but it wasn't working they were faint and barely noticeable.
I opened my eyes staring at the wound "it's not working" I said as tears spilled from my eyes blurring my vision.
Reality was setting in quickly and I did not like it one bit.
I closed my eyes again concentrating hard but nothing happened instead I felt my own breath quicken, my hands felt clammy and warm yet I felt extremely cold.
"Why is it not working" I yelled out of breath as I fell back onto the ground, leaves crunching under my weight.
I felt as if someone has repeatedly punched me in the gut stopping my air supply.
"Hey, hey it's ok" Steve barely mumbled out grabbing my hand with his "your powers are draining you stop" he instructed and I shook my head rapidly
"No you'll die" I said trying to focus again but it wasn't working.
I hadn't tried to use my powers on such extensive injuries before but I guess I wasn't as special as I thought.
The wisps of gold and white were proving to be useless, making me feel useless. The reason I was here was to heal and if I couldn't do that then what was the point
"Kiddo stop" Steve said and I looked around at the team
"Do something" I said out of breath desperately but it was as if everyone had already given in
"Kiddo you know I love you right" Steve said and I started crying harder
"Stop this feels like goodbye" I said as he brought his hand up to my face stroking my cheek gently with his thumb
"I love you" he repeated and I his hand fell limp and dropped onto the ground with a light thump.
"Friday vitals" Tony instructed
"No pulse detected and extensive blood loss" Friday replied and my heart dropped.
"No, no, no" I said as I closed my eyes trying to make the wisps of gold and white appear again.
"Come on, come on" I whispered yet to no avail nothing happened.
"Someone do something" I said looking around at the team, some in tears others staring in disbelief
"Stop it you're killing yourself" Peter said as he forcefully embraced me preventing me from trying to use my powers, he held my arms down against my sides
"Let me go" I cried trying to break free of his grasp.
Peter grabbed my face staring into my drained eyes and pale face "please" he whispered as tears welled in his own eyes.
I leaned into his arms crying my eyes out, I had lost the only father figure I had in my life. Captain America was dead because my powers wouldn't work.
