You know those ideas you and your friends have that seem stupid but you do it anyway?

In this case, that's exactly that.

"Alright, for the record. I did my research and found out that the construction company Sterling works with has built a building in the middle of nowhere. My guess is that the CEO got creeped out and found out too much" You shrug as you take a left turn on your motorcycle, the girls following behind you in a car "Now, all we need to do is get in, find all the necessary evidence that Sterling is on sketchy shit and we'll leave"

"Sounds like a plan" Prue keeps her eyes on the road "In actuality, it doesn't but we'll go with it anyway" Wanda shrugs

"Let's stop here and regroup" Nat commands, hitting the brakes on her own motorcycle.

"So, Wanda, Prue, we'll make sure you get in the building safely. Me and Y/n will be outside keeping an eye out" You nod as you wander off "Huh, that's weird. There's HYDRA agents outside" You squint "Oh shit" The realization hits as you see the HYDRA logo appear on their uniforms "Sterling is with HYDRA" You turn back

"This is bigger than we thought"

~~~

"Everyone in position?" Nat asks, "Yep" You say quickly as you hide behind a tree, seeing Wanda and Prue do the same in a tree closer to the building "On the count of three, we'll move in" Nat starts as you breathe in, bracing yourself

"One" You hold your gun tight

"Two" Why the hell is she counting so fucking slow? You thought

"Three, go!"

As soon as the last number was mentioned, the two guards at the door had their heads shot and you all began to move "Get in!" You open the door for the other two as more soldiers began to appear.

You shoot them off as fast and as much as you can as Nat joined you, sliding into the scene with her cool superhero pose "For the record you look hot as hell but please help me" You say as you shrug off the approaching soldier.

Nat goes off to her own fight as you try to focus on yours "So, any of you guys dance?" You ask, dodging a punch from an Agent and hitting them in the gut "Well, practice makes perfect" You run after another one, taking out a dagger and jumping to stab them "Loki would be proud" Prue praises through the comms "What?" Your confusion disappears as you feel a punch to your stomach "Goddamit!" You quickly take out your taser, tazing them where the sun don't shine.

You try and recover from the last blow, breathing heavily. The adrenaline rush becoming more and more prominent.

You go back to the fight, shooting off agents in the most 'harmless' way possible, aiming for the arms, and legs.

"Guys, we found something" Prue alerts as You and Nat clear off the surroundings "What is it?" Nat looks to you "They're converting magic into energy, making weapons far more advance than what Tony and S.H.I.E.L.D. has" You hear Wanda's voice shake a little "And they're using people to get to the magic"

"How many?"

"From what we've seen, twenty to thirty" Prue informs worriedly "We need to get them out of there immediately. We can get Stark to fund their new lives" You speak up.

~~~

Soon, you all collectively agreed to inform the guys about this and they have sent carriers to you to escort the hostages safely.

Once the building is empty, you decide to investigate a little further. The elevator dings at your arrival to the basement. It was dark, though from what you know, this was where the experimentation was held.

You soon come in contact with a glowing tube. Its green color interests you "To think that the amazing L/n would come and visit one of my facilities is astounding. I never thought you'd be so nosy" You turn and see Sterling standing there, with a gun in hand

"What can I say? I like gossip" You shrug as you hover your hand on your own gun, ready to fire if needed "No need for that. But I do think it's kind of idiotic that you would come here alone, with no back up" Sterling takes a step forward

"We could have been great Y/n. It doesn't have to be this way"

"Really? You're giving me an offer while you have a gun in your hand. I never thought you'd stoop so low" You mock

He chuckles "You should keep that pretty little mouth shut" You roll your eyes

"You can't tell me what to do" You retort

He approaches you threateningly, soon getting close to your face and grabbing it "I. Can."

"No. You. Fucking. Can't"

You kick him in the shins before punching him square in the face. He groans in pain before grabbing your arm "What the hell dude!? You give off such a rapey vibe" He ignores your comment before punching you in the gut and clicking his gun "Like I said, you should've kept your mouth shut" He aims at you and pulls the trigger but his leg soon glows red and is thrown away

"Y/n!" You feel the bullet hit your shoulder

"For fuck sake" You groan staying on the ground "Y/n, are you okay??" Wanda runs over to you

"Oh yeah, I'm fine. I just got stabbed by a bullet" You wince in pain

"It's not the right time to be sarcastic Y/n" She hurriedly takes off her coat and puts pressure on your wound "Guys, I need help. Y/n got shot" She calls through the comms hurriedly

"What!?" Stephen's voice hits your ears

"Stephen? The hell are you doing here?"

"Get her out here now!"

You may just be shot on your shoulder but you are losing your blood at a rapid pace. Your consciousness begins to fade in and out. Flashes of what was happening seeps through your vision

Though the scenes flashed slowly, your mind began to run.

Am I going to die?

Where's Cayenne??

What will happen after???

Where's-

"Y/n, I need you to talk to me" Stephens voice hits your ear. The panic, crystal clear in his voice. "Please Y/n" You feel a hand grip yours, it felt comforting yet it was in a rush.

He wanted you to wake up and say some snarky remark about getting shot, he wanted that so badly.

Stephen was called because the mission involved magic. Something the team knew little about. But the only reason he actually agreed was you. He didn't want to see you in danger so he followed and he was greeted with, you guessed it, you were shot.
