🔴 WARNING: ANGST 🔴

We landed a few miles away from the coordinates provided by the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents just so they won't see Ivan and Yelena. It looks like Eleanor is still behind us as discussed because there's no sign of her chopper anywhere. And from there, we had a car ready for us to use and a motorbike. The plan is for me to show up alone and that's what I did. I used the motorbike to drive myself to the said coordinates, along with the bags filled with cash. Seems like Baron abandoned his old base because I'm in a location I have never seen before. I have never even been to this place at all. It was too remote. It looks to me that this was a minefield back then.
The coordinates lead me to an abandoned five-story skeleton building that had no walls on the upper floors, just the structure itself. I parked the motorbike and grabbed the bags then from there, I was approached by two guys who signaled me to follow them. All of a sudden, the dangers of what I'm doing sunk in and my heart started beating so fast. But I kept my shit together because I need to save Nat.
After a few minutes of walking, they led me straight to Baron and his men but no sight of Natasha anywhere. Baron had this sick grin plastered on his face that I desperately want to hit with anything that could split his skull in half. As soon as I got closer, he started to slowly clap his hands sarcastically that fueled my anger even more.
"Well done, Wanda. I gotta say, you look great. No signs of bones seeping through your skin anymore, eyes that has more life with no dark circles and your skin is even looking tanner than pale. But... I suppose your tan has something to do with the fact that you were just in Bora Bora. Sorry for your cutting your trip short." he snickered.
I tossed both bags right in front of him to cut the bullshit, "I came here as discussed with ten hours to spare. The money in the bags is a total of ten mil. Now, where's Natasha?" I hissed.
"Wow. So extravagant. Ten million dollars?" he grinned before gesturing one of his men. One guy nodded and left the area.
After a few minutes, he returned with Nat hung on his shoulders with all her restraints around her mouth, wrists and ankles. She's still in the same clothes she wore in bed back in Bora Bora. I exhaled all the oxygen I painfully held in my lungs as soon as they set her down on the floor in front of me. My heart sank when I saw all the blood around her face and the bruises that mapped around her body. Tears broke free from my eyes and my knees immediately gave out before removing all the restraints.
I removed the cloth around her mouth first and she immediately spat all the blood that accumulated in her mouth then she let out a gasp due to the relief she felt when she can breathe better. Tears also pooled her eyes when she realized that I was already with her. "Baby, I-I'm s-sorry." she trembled and I don't know how it was possible but that shaky apology of hers broke more pieces of my already broken heart.
"No, baby. Don't apologize. I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I'm so sorry." I sobbed as I cupped her cheeks right after removing all of her restraints.
"How sweet." Baron mocked. "Unfortunately, I'm not the kind of person who easily forgives people who destroys my livelihood." he added.
"What do you mean?" I probed which was followed by a terrified look on Natasha's face, she was looking at something behind me and when I slowly leaned back, I heard her scream 'no' and then suddenly everything went black to me...
