I yawned and rolled a bit to get up to a sitting position. I am getting tired of sleeping. I glanced at the clock beside the bed to see that it was only midnight. Everyone should be asleep by now.

I slowly breathed in and out before pulling the IV out of my vain. Yawning again, I pushed my feet over the side of the bed before testing my weight gently. I really don't want someone to find me laying on the floor in the morning.

Weight is good. I think I am stable enough to get to the cars. Finding the elevator is going to be the major problem.

I know what Nat and Bucky said, but I will be better off on my own and away from people.

I migrate towards the door using the wall and counters are support.

"Jarvis? Keep it to yourself until they ask about me. Alright?" I glance up at the camera before sneaking/limping down the hallway. If my brain is right, the living room should be up here.

I rounded the corner to see Bucky and Steve asleep on the couch and in a recliner.

I sighed once I heard their loud snores. At least they won't try to stop me.

I quietly scampered (with happiness of almost success) over to the elevators before slowly clicking the button. The noise it made was almost undetectable. Thank God.

The elevator dinged open, and my head snapped to the two soldiers which luckily were still out.

I stepped on the elevator and pressed the G button since it goes straight to the garage. One thing I will never forget how to do is hot wiring cars. Best damn thing I have ever learned.

Once in the garage, I glance around for a not-so-fancy car. Does Tony not have any subtle cars? He has way too much money.

"As requested, I told nobody your whereabouts until asked. The Avengers have been notified of your location and are locking down the building until you are safe and secure in the living area." Jarvis said as I gaped at the sirens and red flashing lights.

Its like I robbed a bank.

I ran for the main doors to see them already bolted shut. Most parking garages and underground type facilities have other exits for emergencies. Tony better have one.

I distantly heard the elevator descending to my level as I roamed the area for the exit. YES! Found it! I knew he wasn't cocky enough to not have a secret exit and entrance. I did a mini-happy dance mixed with a sprint.

I need to get on the main road and run like hell. I should be faster than them on foot. If Tony uses his suit, I will be caught. I will definitely need cover then. Sewer? I will throw up if I have to go in there. It will be plan Z.

I made it to the top about the time the bottom door I originally came through banged open.

"SAGE! STOP!" Nat screamed and started try to catch me up the stairs.

That nurse was right, I am a lucky duck.

I chuckled and crossed the surprisingly busy intersection heading towards the overpass. Tony won't see me if I hide there for a little while.

I jumped over some benches in the small park before sliding over some parked cars and diving under the overpass. I haven't had this much exercise in forever. It feels amazing.

I leaned against the concrete wall and pulled some leaves and other objects around me. I had a few weeks in camouflage training, thank you General Miles for making me do that.

I heard slamming boots approximately 30 yards to my left. They probably think I have already stolen a car.

"She has to be around here somewhere. Tony you see her?" Clint, breathless asked.

"I am not getting anything. I have flown over countless times. No missing cars yet either." Tony's voice sounded through from Clint's mic.

I held my breath while Clint walked by. I sighed a little when he stood there scoping everything out.

"Anyone have a visual? She isn't that fast. She is wounded anyway." Clint tried again and being his impatient self, hurt my delicate feelings.

Just kidding. If only I wasn't trying to escape, I could totally scare the pee out of him.

I might update another chapter in a few minutes. I have good writer juices right now. That sounded weird...
