Split Personality

Chapter Four

Sam's POV

"Nat! Sam! Get up!" I shot up. My breathing was fast and I felt the world just closed in for a split second. "Sam it is fine. Just breathe. Calm down, you are safe. You are in no danger. You are fine." Tony placed his hand on my shoulder. Rhodey brought over a water bottle. "Here. You look like you need it." I nodded my head very slightly and took the bottle from him. I didn't drink it since I felt like I was going to throw up if I did, so I just kept it in my lap. "Wha-What happened?" I asked, Tony looked over to me, "Well...it is hard to explain, all we know is that some Hydra crew knocked you and Nat out cold. They dragged you two into an alleyway and someone found you. They called 911 but SHIELD was already contacted and picked you both up and brought you over to me. I just have no clue as to why, you are both fugitives so they would have kept you on the helicarrier but it doesn't matter now. I just want to make sure you both are safe." I turned my head to the right to see Nat in the bed next to me still out of it, "What about Steve? Did you find him?" I looked back to Tony who looked a little confused, "Nnooo. Why would we find him? If he doesn't want to be found then it is kind of hard to actually find the man. Besides I thought you knew where he was." I shook my head, "My god he must still be there."

Rhodey took a step closer, "What do you mean 'still there'? Why was he in the warehouse?" At that Nat came-to "Where am I?" Tony just walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder, "You are in the facility, you were injured and SHIELD brought you here. Now Sam, where was Steve and what happened to him to have you all concerned." Nat sat up, holding her head, "He was at the warehouse Sam and I were at. Turned out to be a Hydra base. We didn't want to go in but Steve's phone was in there and we heard screaming. The screaming came from Steve. They were trying to control him just like what they did Bucky. Tony if we don't go back he will be lost." Tony didn't even look concerned, "We will find him and we won't lose him. He is strong, he will survive. We just have to be hopeful. Now you two need rest we will be back in a few hours, if you get up and we are not here, you know where my lab is." At that he turned on his heel and walked out of the room. Rhodey waved to us and went out of the room as well.

"I hope he is ok," I said, "If he is not I wouldn't know what to do." Nat layed back down on the bed, "I don't know what I'll do either, lets just hope Tony can find him before his mind is gone. Now get some rest Sam."

*Jump two hours*

I woke up, the room was dark and quiet. I flung my legs over the sides of the bed to steady myself as I stood up. I heard the door open and looked over to see Rhodey walk in. "Hey, how are you feeling?" I walked over to the counter in the corner, "I am fine, just a little worried and tired." I said grabbing the water bottle he gave me when I first woke up. "Look Tony is doing his best to find Steve. We just need time since we don't know where Hydra went after leaving you two in the dust but trust me as soon as he finds him, we will go get him." I tilted my head, "Ya and the real question is, will you be saving him and letting him go or will you save him and lock him away?" I questioned. "We will make sure Hydra didn't go too far into his head to the point where we can't get him back." Tony said walking in.

I looked at him hoping he would answer the question I asked. He just stared back at me, "What?" He questioned. "So what will you do after that? If we can't get back from this then I get that we will have to lock him away but if we can get him back what would you do to him? Lock in away or let him go since he hasn't done anything wrong." Tony shrugged looking over to Natasha, "I don't know what we are going to do. I don't have any say in what happens to him. Hell I don't even know what is going to happen to you two after you guys help us find Steve. If I was the one to choose what happens to you guys, you will be fine. You guys will be welcomed back into the tower since I went a little overboard and the UN doesn't know what they are doing." He sounded a little upset, I don't know if it was at himself or at me. I walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Thanks Tony. Now lets let Nat rest and let's go back to find Steve. I don't want to leave him alone for so long. To be honest I am scared of what they will do to him." Turning on his heel he walked out the door with Rhodey following behind him. "You coming or what?" Tony yelled. I ran out the door and caught up with them.

When we entered the lab I could see a computer with a map of New York on it, another with a map of Germany and another with Russia. I also noticed Tony's suit hanging in the corner, it was bashed in and broken from two years ago which is surprising since he always fixes his suit after every battle. I think he noticed me staring because he walked up next to me, "I haven't had the motivation to fix this but now I guess I have to now." He walked back over to his desk and sat down. I sat down in the chair next to his desk, looking at the papers he had strewn around. "What is all of this?" I questioned. Tony didn't say anything so I just sat in silence for a bit until something happened.

After about fifteen minutes Nat walked in, she looked as tired as I was which was a little surprising since she got more sleep than I. "Any luck finding him or have we gotten nowhere?" Rhodey sighed, "Ya, we have gotten nowhere. Tony has been looking the entire time you two were asleep. I am scared for him. If he doesn't find Steve in a matter of a few days or even weeks he will go crazy." Tony threw his computer mouse across the room. All three of us whipped our heads around to see why he did that. "I will find him and I won't go crazy! I have messed up my friendship with Steve once, if I can't find him soon, I am afraid that I will never have the chance to apologize to him." He placed his head in his hands. None of us knew what to say or even do to make him feel better. Nat walked over and placed her hand on his shoulder, "Tony, we will find him but please don't stress yourself out too much. We already lost Steve to Hydra, we don't want to lose you to stress." He chuckled and got up to get his computer mouse, "Thanks Nat, I needed that."

She smiled sitting down on another chair, "No problem. Now use your big brain of yours and get working. After two hours you are getting cut off and we will take over so you don't drain yourself." He pointed a finger at her, "You are not my mother but I'll listen. I'll stop after two hours. You have my word." With that he sat back down and started to do everything he could to find Steve. 'One thing has to find him. If not...what are we going to do?' Rhodey, Nat and I walked out of his lab to give him some space. None of us wanted to leave but we also didn't want to drag him out of his concentration.
