Twenty-Seven

Bucky watched as Loki stood, frowning as he looked around the room. He then went to the window, peering out, before turning to the door. He knew Loki was on alert, and he shifted to stand, still at Livs side... 'What is it?..'

Lokis eyes found his as he strode back to the bed... 'Help me remove these..'.. Bucky snaps into action, he knew that Loki wouldn't put Liv in danger. Just as they removed her drip, Bucky could hear shouting coming from the hallway, and then gunshots... 'Pick her up, and get ready..'

The door burst open, just as he had her in his arms. He watched as a gun was pointed to him, and Loki had jumped over the bed, wrapping his arms around the two of them, and they disappeared as a shot went off.

Bucky blinked to clear his vision, noting that he was in the main room of the compound... 'Are you alright?..'.. Loki asked him, as he stepped back, from him and Liv.

'Yeah, yeah we're fine, thanks Loki..'.. Tony, Bruce, Nat, Clint and Sam came running in, Maria and Helen right on their tails.

'Friday told us you were her-..'.. Tony watched as Loki dropped to the ground, and Nat rushed to his side.

'He got hit in the side. Tony we need to move, now..'.. Clint and Sam helped to move Loki, and they all headed to the med bay. Bucky placed Liv on a bed one end of the room, as Bruce checked her over quickly, and the others worked together on Loki.

'Sam you call Steve and Wanda, get them back here. I'll Pietro...'... Clint called to him as he pulled out his phone.

'They knew that it was just us there. They've been watching..'.. Bucky says, taking Livs hand as Bruce cleared her for injuries... 'Loki sensed something was wrong and he got us out of there in time..'.. He looked across to the Asgardian on the other bed, as Helen and Maria worked on him... 'You better save him, cause she won't forgive herself if anything happens to him..'

'No major arteries or organs, it's a through and through..'.. Helen calls over, not taking her eyes off her task as she stitches Loki up.

Bucky sighed, running a hand over his face... 'Did you can Sharon yet?..'.. He asks Nat, as she comes over.

'Didn't get a chance to..'.. They turn as Sam walks back in, shaking his head.

'The two of them are on their way back now. They saw people running from the hospital, just as they pulled into the parking lot. I called them in time, before they got out of the car. Last thing we need is those two getting caught..'.. He says, looking between both beds.

'Hes going to be fine..'.. Helen tells them as she finishes up, and Bruce takes over... 'Hes most likely exhausted, but keep him on bed rest for now. No training, no fighting, physical activities will rip his stitches, couple of days and he'll be cleared..'.. She removed her gloves, throwing them in the bin.

'Thanks Doc..'.. Bucky sighs. Loki was exhausted. He had gone back into her mind, without even resting, wanting to help her get better. He had told Bucky that more of her memories were fixed, and the light was getting brighter.

'Since when are you chummy with him?..'.. Bucky glared at Tony, moving to the end of Livs bed.

'Im only going to say this once, so feel free to actually listen..'... He clenched his fists... 'He will not hurt her. He's been in her mind, helping to fix her from the inside. He has been by her side this whole time, and he protected her from getting taken, again. He took a bullet for us, to protect us. Yeah, we're 'chummy' because I know, she needs him alive and safe..'

Tony looked over at Liv behind Bucky, and then to Loki on the other bed... 'No. No no, that's just..'.. He pulled a face... 'Thats just so wrong..'

It clicks on with Nat, and she fought a smirk... 'We need a plan, now. Before whoever 'they' are, decide to come here next..'

'Right, yeah..'... Tony runs a hand through his hair... 'Everyone stays here for now, guard those two..'.. He gestures to Bucky and Liv... 'When the others get back, we'll come up with a plan then. Right now, we still need to comb through everything..'

Papers blow up around the room, as Pietro skids to a stop in the med bay... 'I went inside, she wasn't there..'.. He hands over a laptop, and a file... 'But you need to see this..'.. Bruce takes them from him, and moves to the side.

Nat moves over, taking the file as Bruce boots up the laptop. She frowns, reading the file and the notes inside, shaking her head... 'When you have been sleeping with Sharon, you were safe, right?..'.. She glanced to Bucky, giving him a look.

'Y-yeah, I'm not that stupid Romanoff. Why do you ask?..'.. He walks over, and stands at her side reading the file... 'Im going to kill her..'.. He heads to the door, and Sam blocks him... 'Move or I'll move you..'

'You can't go Buck..'.. Nat tells him... 'Liv needs you..'

'Low blow..'.. He took a deep breath, turning to her, and she just shrugged at him.

'Made you stop though..'.. She flicks through the file... 'Be thankful she's not pregnant, but all this..'.. She holds up the file in her hands... 'Its just wrong..'.. She looks up to the others... 'She got close to Liv, knowing how much of a good person she is, dropped hints that she likes Bucky, after Steve shot her down, to get close to him..'.. She handed the file to Tony.

'Shes been trying to get pregnant by him, trying to sabotage the protection you used. When it wasn't working, she then decided to have the both of you under her control. If she was pregnant, then she would be taken care of, knowing the child would be raised in Hydra..'.. Nat shook her head, feeling sick at the thought.

'So why Liv?..'.. Tony asks, reading through the file.

'Because she's powerful, and they know we're close. We're each others weaknesses..'.. Bucky went back to Liv, taking her hand... 'They wanted her as bait to draw me out, and then have us under their control..'.. He swallowed hard, not looking at the others... 'They want us to have a kid, one they can control..'

'Wait, wait..'.. Sam walked over... 'You mean, if they get you, they'll make you..'..

'Yeah, they would..'... Bucky raised his head, looking around at them... 'I do love her, but not in love with her. I'd never do anything like that to her, you know I wouldn't..'.. He took a deep breath... 'Promise me, if Hydra gets a hold of me, you do what it takes, to put me down so I don't hurt her..'

'We won't let it come to that..'... Clint steps forward, putting his hand on Bucky's shoulder.

'Promise me, all of you. She comes first, no matter what, and you keep her safe from me..'.. Bucky could feel the tears coming, hating the thought that they would make him do that to her.

'I won't allow either of you to come to harm, I gave you my word..'... Everyone spins, as Loki carefully sits himself up, wincing in pain. He puts a hand to his sides as he shuffles off the bed... 'I do have an idea if you're all of a mind to hear it..'
