I slowly stood back from the door, i had to try and escape as fast as possible, if i can that is.I looked around there was flames all around me i tried to block it out but it was no use. My eyes started to get heavy.What am i doing, i know better than this.
"Nat are you alright?"Bucky shouted trying to find me a way out.
My breaths got uneasy but i managed to reply with "Y-yes".
"Ok i'll find you a way out"He replied.
More debris fell from the sky and straight over my head, i dodged it just about searching for an escape but to no avail, until from the corner of my eye I found an old door at the back of the warehouse. I started making my way over but my mind was moving in a million directions; i was scared to death.
I limped along as quickly as i could trying to watch out for any debris that could fall on me, but i didn't look what was beneath me.I tripped; making my ankle pain even more. I rubbed my eyes as now smoke was engulfing my lungs and then i started coughing, i tried my best to muffle them but there was no point.I was suffocating.I had to make it to that door.
I got up quickly and made my way to the door. I finally reached it, and of course it was locked.Fuck. I started kicking the door but it was no use, it was metal and unbreakable. I leant against the door looking at my surroundings, is this the way i'm going to die?
Suddenly the pilar of wood snapped in half and in came bucky searching for me, he is lucky he has a mask.He heard my spluttered and came over to me. "Nat"He started urgently.
I quickly looked up and there it was, my escape, he gave me a hand and we started running, he helped me quickly limp to the door we were finally near the exit, until a massive block a metal fell straight over our heads.Bucky caught it but was struggling, if he let go he was crushed. "Go"He shouted to me.
"I'm not leaving you here"I replied.
"I'll be right behind you"He said painfully.
"No"I stated.
"Go"He demanded.
I nodded my head, i had to get out of here. I limped out and into the fresh air spluttering, i could breathe more or less properly now but there was still some smoke in my lugs.Then i waited. I waited for James to come behind me, but he took his time.. where was he?I started panicking, until there he was; running to the exit, he was so close he had so almost made it until...
BANG...
Another mine went off directly behind him; he flew out of the door with a thud in front of me, later followed by a puddle of blood. "James"I stated but there was no response.
"JAMES"I shouted still nothing. I limped over to his body and there he lay lifeless and still.
"JAMES NO"I started sobbing as i grabbed a fistful of his hair and held his body close."James no". This is all my fault.This is all my fault. Tears were streaming down my cheeks i had to get away from here as fast as possible, but i was too weak, i could barely move but i had to go, i had to take him with me.What are the other going to think?...What is Steve going to think?
I wiped my eyes i had to go, i had to go.I picked him up with all the strength i had left and slowly made my way over to jet.He was so heavy, but i wasn't just leaving him like that.I eventually got to the field, i had fallen a few times, but i got straight back up.My ankle hurt worse than ever.I opened the jet and limped inside setting Bucky on a stretcher.I set the autopilot to going back home. I couldn't even call for backup earlier as i didn't bring my phone.
I went back over to Bucky and just watched him, i couldn't believe he was dead, i didn't, but he was, and it all my fault.I should've helped him, then at least i would've died to. I started sobbing again remembering all the good memories he helped me through in my past, the winter soldier is now a lost memory, but i will never forget about him.
I tried to clean him up as best as i could but my vision was slightly blurry. I sat beside him and tried to plan a way of what i was going to say to the others.What am i meant to say. I grabbed a bag of ice and put it onto my ankle, but it didn't even come close to the pain i was feeling on the inside.
-An hour later-
The time on the quinjet went slowly and i just lay down the whole time trying to convince myself this all just a bad dream.But it wasn't, it was a living nightmare.
The quinjet landed this was it.I grabbed ahold of Bucky trying to hold back my tears but it was no use, i opened the quinjet and slowly limped my way out, i stopped a few times, took a deep breath and made my way to the front door ringing the bell.
It was Wanda who answered to door with a smile, until she saw Bucky lifeless in my hands and tears streaming down my cheeks. "Oh my god"She said nearly tearing up letting me in.I walked in and there everyone was sat in living room and they just stared.
"I'm sorry"I cried my voice shaky looking at Bucky in my arms.
Steve rushed over to me and took him out of my arms and stated "Bucky?.....Bucky c'mon you need to wake up"He said shaking him.
"He's gone"I said breaking down on the floor.
"...What happened"Steve practically shouted.
I shook my head looking down saying "He saved my life".
"Nat?"Bruce's voice was in my head again. Until he repeated "Nat!".
"What?!"I said sadly looking up. Bruce.There.He.Was.
"Bruce"I murmured getting up and limping over to him and giving him a big hug burying my head in his chest, this is just what i needed right now."You came back?"I said looking into his eyes.
"I could never leave you"He replied.I hugged him more tightly than ever; never wanting to let go.
