AN: Blake's outfit will basically be the same for the rest of the time. I'll let you know when it's a new one.

"Could you all stop screaming?" Blake yelled over all the screams of the people trapped in the elevator with her, "It's not Disneyland

"Could you all stop screaming?" Blake yelled over all the screams of the people trapped in the elevator with her, "It's not Disneyland."

Steve only gave her a look, continuing to scream making her cover her ears. She could see the boy's mouths moving, but decided to still cup her ears, not wanting to hear them.

Blake watched as Erica and Dustin fought over the controls and a large crash was heard causing Blake to stumble into Steve, both of them falling to the floor with the boy on top of her.

"Fuck," Blake gasped, all the breath leaving her lungs as Steve's full weight crushed her on top of her backpack. A box fell on top of Steve as the elevator stopped and Blake grunted again in pain as he said, "Get this off of us!"

Dustin quickly rushed over, taking the heavy box off the pair and Steve planked himself, looking down at Blake, saying, "Are you okay?"

"Just peachy," Blake groaned and Steve got off of her as she flipped over to her side. She laid there for a moment before taking Steve's offered hand as he said, "I'm so sorry."

Blake waved him off and Robin said, "Is everyone okay?"

"Yeah, I'm great, now that I know that Russians can't design elevators!" Steve exclaimed, walking away from Blake and pushed Dustin out of the way to get to the controls. Robin rolled her eyes at the boy, "We've clearly established that those buttons don't work."

"They're buttons," Steve loudly explained, "They have to do something."

Robin waved a hand around, "Yeah, if we had a keycard."

Blake walked over to Steve and took his hands off the buttons before she wrapped them around her hips, resting her head on his chest to try and calm him down. Steve smiled a bit before he said, "A what?"

"It's an electronic lock. Same as the loading dock door. If we don't have a keycard," She told, walking over to the couple and pointed to a scanner on the wall, "It won't operate, meaning-"

"-We're stuck here," Dustin interrupted. Blake winced in pain as Steve tightened his grip on her making him look down and say, "What's wrong?"

Blake shook her head, dismissing him and Steve stood his ground, saying, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," She insisted. Steve tilted his head, running his fingers down her waist causing her to flinch back. He looked at her and said, "Can you just tell me what the hell is wrong?"

"I don't know," She took a deep breath, pain spreading around her chest as she did so. Robin narrowed her eyes at Blake, saying, "Lift up your shirt."
