All of Me - Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D

Chapter 76

 CHAPTER 76

Steve still couldn't believe it. He knew that they had been travelling in this van for several minutes now. He knew that they were currently captured by HYDRA agents who had plans to kill him, Natasha and his new friend Steve, but all he could see was James face as he looked at him with a blanked expression and not even recognizing him. Upon being cuffed and shoved in the van with the pair, the Super Soldier had explained to Sam about James Barns and who he was. Natasha already knew since she had read his file.

"It was him," he informed them, gobsmacked. "He looked right at me and he didn't even know me."

"How's that even possible?" Sam piped up. "It was like seventy years ago."

Steve knew exactly how much time had past since he saw James fall out of the train before his eyes. It was one of the worst days of his life - losing his brother and best friend. "Zola," he answered, looking down towards the ground. "Bucky's whole unit was captured in forty three, Zola experimented on 'em. Whatever he did, it helped Bucky survive the fall." Steve then raised his gaze. "They must have found him."

Natasha could hear the guilt in her friend's voice. She was currently ignoring the pain coursing through her thanks to the bullet in her arm. "None of that's your fault, Steve."

Steve looked away. "Even when I had nothing, I had Bucky," he voiced thickly.

Natasha leaned her head back and closed her eyes, taking a few steady breaths. This wasn't her first time being shot, but it still hurt like a bitch.

Sam turned his eyes from the Super soldier and onto the red headed assassin, his eyes widen when he noticed the blood on her leather jacket coming from what looked like a bullet hole in her left shoulder. She had been shot? Why hadn't she said anything? He turned his attention towards the guards. "We need to get a doctor here. If we don't put pressure on that wound, she's gonna bleed out here in the truck."

All of a sudden one of the guards pulled out an electric rod and neutralized the other guard in the back of the van with them. The guard then pulled of it's helmet, revealing Maria Hill. "That thing was squeezing my brain," she expressed, brushing hair out of her voice. She turned her attention towards her friends and the good looking african american. "Who's this guy?" she asked with curiosity.

-o0o-

Maria pulled the van up outside of Fury's secret underground Bunker along the graveled road. She hopped out of the driver's seat and then opened the side door and let her friends out. Steve hopped out first then helped the injured assassins out, followed by Sam. Maria then guided her friends towards one of the entrance of this secure and guarded underground location. The loud sound of the gushing water that covered the underground base surrounding them. Maria had called ahead, informing them of Natasha injury so the doctor could met them upon arrival.

Maria pulled open the bar covered door and ushered the small group in. She then led them through the underground bunker.

"GSW," she called out towards the Doctor running down towards them. "She's lost at least a pint," she informed him as Steve helped Natasha walk.

"Maybe two," Sam voiced.

"Let me take her," the doctor voiced.

"She'll wanna see him first," the Commander voiced as she continued to guide her friends through the underground bunker to her destination several moments later approaching and pulling the plastic sheeting aside, revealing a makeshift hospital room.

"About damn time," Nick voiced from his hospital bed, looking at two of his kids and the Super Soldier, along with some other guy.

Steve and Natasha stood there stunned.
