The team were attacking a HYDRA base in an attempt to find the sceptre, "thor do you think it's here" I ask over the comms "I'm unsure, the defence does seem stronger than the bases before, but this one does seem larger" thor replies as he flies over head. "Stark have you got inside yet?" Steve asks, "almost, I'm working on it" tony replies "Romanoff you any closer?" tony asks, "yeah we've found an entrance me and Barton are going in" she replies. "Hulk could use you over here" I hear Steve say over the comms, "my area is clear do you need back up?" I ask him, "no Bruce has it, stay safe" Steve tells me. "I'm sure I can handle myself, my area is clear anyway" I say looking around "it's either I come over and help or go in to the agent infested ba- ahh" I cry out as 3 bullets hit my side. "(Y/N)?" Steve questions worriedly, I wasn't able to respond due to the amount of pain I was in, in the corner of my eye I could see the agent that shot me and I was just about to try and shoot him but Steve's shield beats me to it. Steve caught his shield as he knelt down next to me "it's okay (Y/N) you'll be okay" he says putting pressure on my wound causing a hiss of pain to escape my lips. "guys we need immediate evac (Y/N)'s been shot" Steve says, "base is empty, do you need help getting her back to the jet?" tony asks, "no, I've got it just get Nat to give banner the lullaby, we're gonna need a doctor" Steve says as he scoops me up into his arms "keep pressing down here, and stay with me (Y/N)" he says kissing me on the forehead as he runs back to the jet. Once we got there he laid me down on the medical bed, a few moments later Bruce appeared he seemed a bit dazed after just returning from the hulk but he got straight to work. The pain only seemed to intensify though to the point where I could no longer feel it, I could faintly hear Steve talking to me reassuring me that I would be okay. He only got quieter and quieter as I began to feel the result of blood loss, it got harder and harder to keep my eyes open until I finally gave in and let my eyes finally close.

The first thing I felt was aching on my side, as I slowly became more aware I could hear the conversations around me "hey cap why don't you come eat something?" I hear Nat say, "no I'm okay I'm not that hungry" Steve mutters. "Steve they said she was going to be fine, so please eat something even if I just make you a sandwich" Nat sighs, "no I'm fine I don't have an appetite at the moment" Steve says. As he talked I could slowly feel him beginning to stroke my hand with his thumb "she won't be happy that you aren't looking after yourself" Nat says, Steve doesn't answer though. I begin to force myself to wake up some more, I tried desperately to move the hand Steve was holding. It took me a while but I slowly managed to wrap my fingers around his, my eyes then slowly begin to open stopping for a moment so they could focus before I started looking round the room for Steve. I smiled as much as I could when I finally saw him "hey" I croak, my throat sore, "hey I told you that you'd be okay" Steve smiles moving closer to me. "how long was I out?" I ask looking up at him "just about a day, you took some nasty hits" he sighs gently brushing some of my hair out of the way. "I'm sorry I guess the area wasn't as clear as I thought" I say with a slight smile, "its okay, the only thing that matters right now is that you're okay" Steve says reassuringly. As I looked up at him I realised how similar this whole situation was, only 4 months ago it was Steve here instead of me after falling from the helicarriers. "I'm sorry if I scared you" I sigh looking up at him apologetically, "(Y/N), well I would say you didn't but, I guess I would be lying because it did terrify me, but I knew you were in the best hands possible" he says kissing my hand. "I'm sorry" I sigh sadly, "stop saying sorry because I have you back and that's all that matters right now" Steve says standing up so he could kiss me on the forehead "you have terrible aim" I smirk, Steve just chuckles before kissing me again this time on the lips.

I was walking alone through a dark corridor with my gun raised ready to shoot if needed. I slowly entered a large room that held some technology in the centre, "I think I'm onto something here, got some tech I'll see what I can find" I say into the comms. I just hear static back and a couple words from Steve, I assume it's only because we're underground and continue walking towards the tech. as I approach I notice a screen and keyboard, I start typing away as I try to get all the information I can. I hear rocks shift behind me and I whip back round to see a hydra agent entering the room gun aimed directly at me. "don't move" I warn him raising my own gun both of us ready to pull the trigger, "I don't think you're in the position to give orders" the agent sneers "one pull of this trigger and you're dead". I scoff shaking my head "we both know that I can pull this trigger as soon as you do, if I'm going down you're coming with me" I tell him, "then why don't you shoot? Realising I can do the same?" the agent ask his confidence growing by the minute. "tell me what you're doing here, what is all of this for, this tech its ancient" I say gesturing to the tech behind me not taking my eyes off of him. "you don't recognise it? or should I say him?" the agent says, I furrow my brows "him?" I ask confused, "yes, dr zola" the agent says. "he was destroyed, got blown up when you tried to blow us up" I say remembering back to DC, "yes there was a bomb but some tech was salvageable we rescued him and with time and effort we can restore him, have valuable information, finally defeat you avengers" the agent explains. I catch a glint of red white and blue making me smile to myself, "why smile you have lost you won't get out of this, the avengers will fall" the agent says. "wow you really don't know a lot about the avengers do you?" I ask with a smirk, "I know enough, if you die here today I will not only have killed you I would have killed the captain" the agent says proudly. I glare at him never wanting to hurt Steve "you have to hurt me first" I sneer, Steve then accidentally kicks a rocks as he enters, the agent turns to look but keeps his gun on me. "captain just in time" the agent says, while distracted by Steve's arrival the agent pulls a trigger and a feel the sharp pain of the bullet. "NO!" Steve shouts throwing his shield to take out the agent, I slowly look down to the extent of my wound, realising I wasn't going to make it I look up at Steve with tears in my eyes. I fall to my knees and Steve runs over taking me into his arms as I continue to fall. "no, no (Y/N) stay with me please, we'll get banner you'll be okay" Steve says panicking, I slowly shake my head "Steve it's okay, I'm sorry I should have noticed, just stay with me" I ask him. Steve nods his head as tears threaten to fall "I won't ever leave you I promise" Steve promises, I reach up and cup his cheek. "I love you" I stutter "move on please" I say as everything fades to black. When my eyes open again I was stood on the opposite side of the room, watching as Steve cradled my body crying as he held me close begging for me to come back. I walk over and try and place my hand on his shoulder but my hands turn to smoke, I hold back my own tears never wanting to leave him not like this. I watch as he picks up my body and begins to carry it back to the team, I see the team notice him and also begin grieving. As time went on I saw Steve grieve, I saw my own funeral, I watched helplessly as he began to no longer look after himself. "Steve please, don't do this to yourself please for me" I say trying to get through to him but I fail, I see as he convinces the team to let him back on missions. I watch as it goes wrong and he nearly dies all because of me .I wake up with a start looking round the room, my eyes fall on a now awake Steve. I instantly look for his injury that I saw stopping when I noticed I could actually touch him. "(Y/N) what's wrong? What is it?" he asks worriedly, "where is it?" I ask him, Steve looks at me confused "where is what?" he asks me. "you're wound you got shot you nearly died" I tell him, "(Y/N) that never happened, are you okay?" he asks. I shake my head "no I-I died, you stopped looking after yourself, you went on a mission and got shot and nearly died" I say beginning to ramble, Steve grabs my hands "(Y/N) I promise you are not dead you can't be more alive, I haven't been injured, I'm fine we're both fine" Steve says reassuring me. "are you sure?" I ask him not fully convinced, Steve smiles very slightly before kissing me "definitely" he says pulling me into his arms.
