Pain

Hey guys this chapter is gonna be a quick one too! But thanks for being so patient!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay maybe I shouldn't have dared him to shoot me.

You think?

Shut up.

Kelsey groaned as the ringing continued in her right ear well after Bucky had shot her in the shoulder and left her lying on the ground.

If it wasn't for her jacket she surely would be bleeding out, instead if she was lucky all she would have would be a very nasty bruise. She tried standing up but the pain in her shoulder stopped her dead in her tracks.

"Steve, Sam, I'm down. I'm so sorry." Kelsey groaned painfully.

"Don't worry I've got it." Steve answered quickly.

"Be careful, Steve please. He's here... and he's confused."

"I will, I promise." Steve said in response softly.

~~~~

Only a few minutes later, Steve called over the comm that he got the tracking piece in just barely in time.

That was the last that Kelsey had hear from Steve, not even two minutes later Steve called over the comm piece that he got the tracking chip in. And then afterwards he told Hill to have the three helicarriers to target each other.

"Charlie's locked." Steve reported just minutes later. Kelsey still had yet to get off the deck of the hellicarrier, her shoulder still pulsating intensely.

"Okay, Cap. Get out of there. Ghost if you're still there you too." Hill responded quickly.

"Fire now." Steve commanded.

"But Steve..."

"Do it, do it now!" He demeanded and almost instantly the hellicarriers had started shooting at each other.

"Shit, shit, shit!" Kelsey exclaimed as an explosion went off only feet away from where she was laying. Stumbling up onto her feet she dived off the edge of the ship free falling through the air. Before she could think of using her abilities to stop the fall, her body crashed into the waters of the Potomac knocking the air out of her chest as she did.

After regaining her sense and realizing she was suffocating from lack of oxygen, she quickly started to swim towards the surface of the water. Breaking through she immediately gasped looking up above her to see pretty much all three of the helicarriers quickly falling out of the air directly above her.

"Shit!" She screamed shrilly zipping out of the water and flying out from underneath the helicarriers falling rather roughly onto the beach alongside the river.

"Hill, where's Steve? You got a location on Rogers?" Natasha's voice called though the earpiece.

"Steve! Are you there? Steve!" She screamed urgently though to who she had no idea. In an instant her head snapped up to look at the falling helicarriers just in time to see the dominating blue of Steve's WW2 uniform dropping out of the sky. She tried to jump up, use her abilities to fly to save him but nothing happened.

The day had taken too much out of her she was powerless when she needed her power most.

Instead she was forced to watch in horror as her friend plummeted through the sky and awe as a second person jumped right after him. The pair crashes into the water only seconds later.

"Steve!" She called jogging close to where he'd crashed in the water. Holding her breath she kept her eyes glued to the river waiting for him to reappear from below the water.

Finally she saw someone slowly come out from below the surface, again she sucked in a breath unable to see who it was from so far away. Finally she was able to make out the silver and black that helped her to realize was Bucky.

Ready to dash forward and challenge him, the pain radiating her shoulder stopped her dead in her tracks. Again she looked up to Bucky and much to her surprise she saw he was dragging something along behind him... It was Steve!

She watched from a distance as Bucky slowly pulled Steve out of the river dropping him on the sand shore not to far from where she was hiding. He stood there for just a moment above Steve, if he said anything she couldn't hear it, before turning and walking away through the bushes.

As he turned to leave he looked back one last time and their eyes yet again met.

Neither spoke instead Bucky turned and left both her and Steve behind.

"I found Steve." Kelsey called into the her comm link softly.
