Nat springs up from the bed at the knock on the door, you switch to your thermal vision and see one body outside the front door.

"It's only one person"

"How'd you know-" Nat cuts herself off when she sees your eyes, you give her a soft smile as your eyes return to their natural colour,

"Stay back" Nat warns you as you move towards the door, by this point Yelena was also beside you as Nat slowly lifted the cover on the peephole,

"Oh shit" she quickly opens the door, and you see Steve on the other side,

"Hello to you too" he said entering the apartment,

"What are you doing here?" Nat questioned as you all moved into the living room, Nat stood by the fireplace, Steve sat on one of the single armchairs and you and Yelena sat on the sofa facing Nat,

"We need to save them" Steve said,

"Save who?" you asked, you heard Yelena mutter under her breath something about someone always needing to be saved, you rolled your eyes at the comment but you did smile knowing she was right. Steve explained he meant freeing the others from the Raft,

"I'm in, Clint would do it for me" Nat said, Yelena said that if Nat is going that she will too, everyone turned to look at you,

"I don't know... last time I saw Steve he said I was a weapon of mass destruction" you teased,

"Yeah, that's exactly what we are going to need"

You all make your way out of the apartment at different intervals, all taking different routes to the parked car a couple of streets away.

You look down and see your suit is showing past your right sleeve, you quickly tug it down before continuing to the car, you are the first one there, and you take the driver's seat, smiling to yourself as you get in, knowing Nat will most likely roll her eyes.

Steve is the next one to arrive, he gets into the passenger seat, you give him a bit of a look,

"You good Y/n?" you tilt your head into the backseat, motioning him to get into it,

"No" you raise your eyebrows at him, and when he refuses to leave, you turn your eyes red,

"Really?" he questions, you smile as he gets out and gets into the backseat, Nat getting in seconds later followed by Yelena, who gets into the car with a small pot of goulash,

"One of the vendors was just closing up as I passed" she said explaining herself,

"Smells good" you replied, before getting the car into gear and heading towards the closed air base where you parked the quin jet in. For most of the journey Steve and Nat went over the plan while you and Yelena listened, they were very meticulous about the whole thing, they were both similar that way, you also knew that most of the plans they made never ended up happening the way they intend, but you let them continue without chiming in.

You were about 10 minutes away from the hanger when you started to wonder what it would be like if you saw Wanda again, I mean, the last time you saw her you were fighting against each other, well, for the most part. You are taken out of your thoughts by a driver who has lost control of their vehicle and is heading straight for your car, you swerve out of the way only to be met with another blacked out SUV ploughing into the right side of the car, it has enough force to flip the vehicle multiple times down the deserted road.

When the car comes to a stop, you look over, you see Nat is unconscious from the crash, and you are all upside down, you see the blood on your hands and face without seeing a wound. You quickly unfasten your seat belt, your head crashing down onto the roof of the car, you crawl out at the same time as Steve and Yelena, you are about to run to the other side of the car, when you see the gunmen getting out of their SUV's,
