Lost in Time

Sixty

'Damn it, just stay still!..'.. Nat was a little pissed about Elles stubborn streak, but considering what just happened, she was thankful to be alive right now. The sound of a crash nearby, and then a large dirt cloud enveloped the four of them, making her cough and splutter, turning her head to avoid the dust in her eyes, but she kept her hands pressed against Elles wound on her leg.

'I don't know who the fuck you're talking to in that tone Nat, but for your sake, it better not be me..'.. Elle snapped back.

'You have something in your leg..'.. Yelenas bored and tired tone had both women scowl at her.

'Really?! Why thank you Lena, I didnt know. How nice of you to point it out..'.. Elle snarked. She was pissed, tired, sore and hungry, but they did it. In the four days since they left the tower, her, Nat and Wanda had found Yelena, and together they brought down the red room, literally, but it was a mission with a few casualties.

'Can we not do this right now?..'.. Wanda limped closer and sagged down to the ground... 'How are we going to get out of here?..'.. She looked around at the chaos and destruction, the remnants of the red room that had been above Russia.

'Easy..'.. Elle pulled the zip down on the front of her suit, wincing at the ache in her ribs, while Nat attempted to stem the blood coming from her left leg. She had been impaled on a piece of debris, after they had jumped from the platform, as the red room exploded. She hadn't even strapped her chute on properly, but it got torn by some falling metal, and she had began to spiral down to the ground, a little too fast. Elle knew she got lucky, that this was all the injuries she had. Digging into her bra, she pulled out her phone... 'Lark, get Loki to our location please..'

'You are crazy..'.. Yelena shifted to sit down with the three of them... 'Who jumps without securing a chute?..'

'Me..'.. Elle raised her hand, typing out a message... 'Not the first time. Jumped out of a plane at three thousand feet, no chute. A friend of mine got shot and thrown out, so I dove out after them. And all I got was a few broken bones, and a shattered spine..'

'You one of those enhanced people?..'..

'I got some metal bones now, and a metal spine, does that count?..'.. Elle finished what she was doing and slipped her phone back in her bra, turning to Lena.

'Still think you're crazy..'.. Yelena grumbled, just as Loki appeared, taking in the surroundings, and raising an eyebrow at Elle.

'I would scold you for having this much fun without me, but considering you're bleeding out and ruining a perfectly good suit, I'll let it slide..'.. He noticed the new face, and then fully took in Nat and Wanda, a slow grin spreading across his face... 'Well well ladies, you look sinfully delectable..'

'Hey..'.. Elle snapped her fingers at him... 'Flirt later, get them home..'

'And what of you? You still have magic around you. I cannot get you home..'.. Loki conjured a kit, and moved to kneel next to Elles left leg, pulling out some dressings and a bandage, to temporarily patch her up.

'Meh, I'll be fine. Left a vehicle around here somewhere..'.. Elle craned her neck, but with the small fires, debris and destruction, she couldn't really see through the dust cloud and fires buring all around.

'I will take the ladies back, but not before you call Heimdall to take you, and he will deposit you back at the tower..'.. Loki finished what he was doing and then with a flick of his hand, made the kit vanish. He stood, and held a hand out to her and Nat, helping the two up first. He held his hands out for the other two, but only Wanda took his hand, Yelena rolled her eyes and got to her feet.
