Chapter 14 - Our Fault

The village was burning, under the destruction of Lazarevic and Nate returns, instantly looking for her. (Y/N) was knelt in front of a child, who was desperately trying to communicate with her. Nate calls for her and she points an adult out to the kid, watching him run off and allowing her to change her attention to her friend.

"Oh, Nate..." she breathes, colliding with him.

"What happened?" He asks and she pulls away, wringing her hands in frustration.

"It's Lazarevic. They found us." Tenzin looks at her, starting to speak and she bites her lip. "I don't know - I don't know -" she repeats and Nate places his hands on her arms.

"(Y/N) just breathe." He mutters and she nods, taking a few deep breaths and turning back to Tenzin. "Schäfer has her." She mouths, speaking a tiny bit of Tibetan that she had picked up.

"Schäfer." Tenzin repeats and (Y/N) turns back to Nate. "They went the other way."

"All right." He mutters, going to walk off, but she grabs his arm. "Nate, this is our fault. We did this." The tone of her voice is heartbreaking and this was something that was out of their area.

"All right. You stay here." Nate begins but she shakes her head.

"I don't think so. Don't you get it? We did this, Nate. Both of us, so the both of us will go and fix this." (Y/N) replies, her voice wavering at the end. He hesitates, but notices the desperation in her eyes.

"All right. Come on." He finally says, motioning for Tenzin to follow. Nate leads them through Schäfer's house and back outside. Villagers were trying the best they could to fight against the soldiers.

"Get back inside! Get inside!" Nate shouts and (Y/N) crouches behind a wall as a villager falls next to her. Her breathing was rapid and the pair make eye contact, Nate giving her a small nod and she returns it, shooting.

They get through the soldiers making war and head their way down the steps and towards the village. A soldier had started a fight with a villager and (Y/N) is quick to tackle the soldier and shoot him, pulling the villager behind a pillar.

"Nate, turret!" She warns over the sound of multiple gunfire. He takes out the man behind and uses it to his advantage, clearing out the area.

The three move on, Tenzin leading them the way to a door. They cover him as he unlocks it, slamming his shoulder in it and letting it fly open.

(Y/N) is the first up the ladder, her gun sounding and the others follow. Just as Nate had climbed the first, she's already climbing the second. They come out on the roof, taking out the soldiers around them with help from a few villagers, who had taken hold of guns.

It takes them a while, but they manage to clear out the entire part of the village of soldiers. Tenzin leads them into a house and up a ladder and Nate lets (Y/N) go first, following behind. Once he gets to the top, the two of them stand on a balcony where Tenzin speaks rapidly.

"What?" Nate questions and Tenzin makes circles with his hands around his eyes. Nate unhooks the binoculars and hands them to him and he sweeps below.

"Schäfer..." He points out, speaking Tibetan and he hands back the binoculars. (Y/N) leans over to look as Nate uses them to see Schäfer cowering with a little girl, hiding. As Nate looks, the top of a tank comes into view and he pans down.

"Holy shit!" (Y/N) says, noticing it too.

The turret turns to them. "Oh crap!" Nate exclaims and puts his hand on (Y/N)'s back. "Jump!" She wastes no time in vaulting over.
