Phantasm

Chapter 20

Andy groaned in pain as Alex caused Andy's chair to fall over and make her head hit the floor. 

"Have you had enough soldier?" The woman asked as she looked down at the injured girl in front of her. 

Andy glared at the woman and spit blood in her face. The woman smiled and wiped the blood off with her sleeve. "Carry on Alex. Do what you need to do." She added before walking out of the room again, leaving Andy with Alex again. 

Alex smirked as she walked over and picked up the chair, making Andy look at her, honestly scared. She had been through days of this torture and she was badly injured. More than she had been in her life, and she was so close to giving up. 

"Okay, are you sure you don't want to give up?" Alex asked as she walked to the table of weapons. 

Andy looked at her and shook her head, knowing that she didn't want to give up just yet. She just had hope that the team was going to find her and save her. 

Alex picked up a gun off of the table and cocked it. "Are you sure?" Alex asked, the smirk sticking to her face. 

"You will kill me before I give up." Andy spat at Alex. 

Alex nodded a little before walking over to her enemy, the one she finally had power over.  "You know, I'm having a lot of fun with this. For years you had the power over me, but now you are the weak one and I am the one with the power." Alex said as she pointed the gun at Andy's leg. She squeezed the trigger and Andy screamed out in pain as tears started to flow down her cheeks. 

Andy looked up at Alex who cocked the gun again. "Now, do you want to join us?" Alex asked pointing the gun at Andy's other leg. 

Andy looked at the girl in front of her, not wanting to say anything but knowing that she wouldn't survive much longer. She was going to have to say yes before she dies. She was just going to have to hope that the team was going to find it. 

"Yes." Andy managed to whisper, her voice hoarse from the screaming. 

"Wait what?" Alex asked as she put down the gun and looked at the wounded girl in front of her. 

"Okay." Andy repeated as the tears continued to flow down her cheeks, the bullet wound had been her undoing. The pain was all over her body now, everything hurt. 

Alex nodded a little, surprised she broke, happy to see that she would be the one to break. She turned to walk out of the room, placing the gun on the table before walking out and getting the woman. 

"I'm sorry Clint." Andy whispered to herself as she hung her head. 

"Okay everyone, this is the location we think Andy is. We need to get in and get out quickly. She may have been turned into Winter so we need to be on high alert. Hydra and red room people are crawling all over this place, if you need to kill someone, do it quietly." The red head explained as she looked at the team who was absorbing the information she was saying. 

"If you see Alex, shoot her in the face. She is someone who has hurt basically all of us, so take her down. If you see this woman, you take her down as well, she built me and they built many of the assassins that are around today. So take her down or bring her to me. We get in, find Andy, and then get the hell out of there. Let's go." Natasha explained and everyone nodded. She was in charge of this mission because of the knowledge she had about the woman that took Andy. 

The team dispersed and walked through the compound and to the hanger. 

"You okay Barton?" Steve asked from beside the archer. 

Clint looked over at the captain and sighed softly, shaking his head. "We're going to see if Andy is alive or even herself. The fact that we may go in there and she might not be there, is not ideal." He explained as the climbed into the jet. 

Steve didn't respond as they took their places in the jet. Natasha was the last on the jet as Tony sat down in the Captain's chair. 

"Everybody ready?" Natasha asked and everyone nodded silently. 

Tony turned around in the chair and started the jet as the ramp closed behind Nat. 

The jet took off, taking the team one more step closer to their friend. 

The woman watched the doctors work on the injured Andy. "I'm glad you decided to join us." She said as Andy looked at her. 

"I would've died if I didn't." Andy whispered as the doctors started to work on the bullet wound in her leg. She winced as they dug into her leg, not giving her anything for pain management. 

"You'll be okay, the pain will be nothing compared to the pain you are going to cause others." The woman said and Andy regretted her decision. It wasn't even the next day after she made her decision. 

Silence fell over the room except for the clatter of the medical supplies on the metal table Andy was laying on. 

After hours of operating on Andy and her falling in and out of consciousness, the doctors finished. 

"Leave us." The woman said as the doctors collected their supplies and left the room, leaving Andy alone with the woman. She walked next to the metal bed and looked down at the still bloody girl in front of her. "I'm glad you've accepted to join us, your addition to the team is going to bring us to the level of your little friends." The woman said as she ran her hand over Andy's bruised face. 

Andy winced and tried to move her face away but the woman grabbed her jaw and turned Andy's face towards her. "You don't have to be rude." The woman sneered as a red light started to flash and an alarm started to blare. 

The woman stood up and looked around the room. "Looks like your little friends are joining the party." She said as she walked out of the room as Alex came running into the room. 

"We got company." Alex said as she glanced over to Andy who was struggling to stay conscious. 

The woman nodded as she looked back at Andy. "Stay with this one." The woman said to Alex and the girl nodded as the woman walked out of the room. 

Alex looked at Andy and looked at the one who she beat an inch from death. She looked away and looked at the door and picked up a gun and knife from the table of weapons. 

"Your friends are not going to get to you." Alex whispered to Andy as she took up a fighting stance. 

The Avengers had arrived and Clint was going to get through this base no matter what the cost.
