They've been walking for what felt like hours. It was getting cold and by the looks of it, it was just hitting noon. They wanted to stop and let Wanda rest but knew that if they did they might get caught. The woods seemed to be going on forever. There was no sign of human life that they knew of.
Bucky felt Wanda shiver against him.
You okay?
Fine...
No you're not. You're cold.
She didn't respond. A few minutes later he noticed that she was breathing heavily, forming into slight wheezing. Her head felt warm against his neck.
Wanda-
Stop.
What-
We're being followed.
Bucky did as she said and stopped. The others kept walking until they noticed that Bucky stopped.
"Why'd you stop?" Sam asked.
He looked at Clint. "Následovníci." (followers)
Clint looked around slowly. Everyone else was confused at to what was going on. Wanda lifted her head.
"Polož mê," she whispered to Bucky.(put me down)
He gently let her down but still held her arm for her to balance. Her eyes turned scarlet as she searched for minds near by. The others watched her closely now understanding what was going on. Suddenly the sound of a gun shot could be heard. Without turning Wanda's hex stopped the bullet before it could even touch her. The sound of screams soon followed. Then there was silence.
"Was that it?" Scott asked. Soon after a small container dropped in front of Bucky and Wanda. Before they could react it opened and released a sound wave that sent everyone flying.
Unfortunately Wanda got separated from the others. When she hit the ground, guards from the raft emerged and surrounded her.
"Keep the witch separated from the others," one of the guards ordered.
She used the nearest tree to pull herself up. The others tried to get to her but were stopped by the guards. Suddenly a ringing filled her head. It felt like the same ringing HYDRA used. She stood her ground despite the pain it caused her. Soon the ringing increased and the guards came closer. Wanda held her head and let out a whimper, wanting it to stop. Her eyes burned scarlet as the pain increased. All the guards closed in on her but before they could do anything, Wanda's hex escaped her body, in an explosive manner, making her scream and sending all the guards flying away.
The rest of the team moved from their hiding spots behind the tree to find Wanda on the ground. Bucky rushes to her checking her pulse.
"Is she-"
"No," he said cutting Steve off. They all let out a breath. Bucky looked her over and saw that she broke the stitches on her side. He knew that they had to move but Wanda needed to be stitched up before she bleed out.
"Buck, we need to-"
"She'll bleed out before we get there," he interrupted not looking up. He moved her on her other side so the blood won't flow as much. Then he quickly lifted her shirt and stitched her up. Once he was done he picked her up and they all ran to the jet that was supposed to be waiting for them.
Steve has explained earlier that T'challa was tracking him just in case something like this happen. When they got to the spot it was supposed to be, there was nothing.
