Winters War Phase 3: Some Kind of Monster

Part 25

Sam was still flying in the air. He noticed Julia's body stopped shaking and her arms around his neck were losing up slightly. He looked at her and noticed her eyes were closed.

"You stay awake, do you hear me? Don't you dare to close your eyes!" he warned her with a stern voice.

She didn't open them.

"Stay awake, Julia! Please!" he begged and gave her a pinch near her knee. "Wake up! Come on!"

After his pinch, Julia slightly opened her eyes and tried to take a deep breath. Her inhale was hoarse and rough, like she was having a severe asthma attack. Sam was glad she opened her eyes but was concerned about her breathing.
In the distance he saw the QuinJet and noticed a safe spot for landing, near the aircraft.

Suddenly Iron Man landed close by, seconds after Sam landed. He walked closer to them until he stood still in front of them, blocking their way to the entrance of the jet and gazed at the hurting teenager.

"She's not getting in while Pepper is in there," Tony warned.

"Just let me through, Tony. We don't have to fight each other," Sam demanded. "She needs help."

Tony still didn't let them pass and just gazed at Sam.

"If Julia didn't find Pepper, what would have happened?" Sam tried to get Tony convinced. "She could have died. She risked her life to save your girlfriend. Think about that!"

Julia managed to open her eyes and glanced wearily at Tony. She mouthed sorry to him. Seconds later, she closed them again, almost losing her consciousness.
In the background, Sam saw Jemma standing in the tailgate of the aircraft. She watched anxiously at the scene.

"If she doesn't receive the help she needs and as soon as possible, she'll die!" Sam almost yelled frustrated at Tony.

Spider-Man stopped in the middle of the fight when he heard the two men arguing. He got extremely worried about his friend, Julia.

"Mister Stark, please let him through!" he called out to his mentor.

Before Tony could say anything back, his suit started to blaze red. Sam looked around his shoulder and saw Wanda who took control of Tony with her powers and lifted him upward.

"Hey!" Tony called out as he went up in the air.

"Go!" Wanda yelled at Sam.

Sam didn't doubt for a second and ran into the aircraft. Jemma already saw Julia almost passed out.

"Lay her down on this stretcher," Jemma gestured as they were inside.

She noticed the collar around Julia's neck.

"Is this the collar that stops her powers?"

"Yes it is," Sam answered while he laid her down on the stretcher.

He was in shock as he saw Julia's pale face and lips, after he laid her down. She was barely breathing.
Jemma immediately placed an oxygen mask around her mouth and nose and an oxygen meter around her index finger. After that, she placed some stickers on Julia's chest to monitor her heartbeat. All doing while wearing rubber medical gloves for protection.
Sam knelt next to the stretcher and started holding Julia's hand, as a comfort.

"Please, be alright," he whispered to her.

"I'll give her more oxygen and a blanket. She feels cold."

She twisted at the tap of the oxygen tank and fully opened it. Julia took a deep, hoarse breath. Jemma gazed at the heart monitor.

"Heartbeat is low but at least she's alive."
