Rescue

                                    

                                          
When Fury received Anthony's report, he had to take a moment to himself.  Anthony reported you were taken, and likely killed in action.  He had reported that you had requested he stayed on the jet, and would check in hourly.  When he didn't hear from you for five hours he went to check and saw you being hung inside the base upside down, and stabbed.  He didn't fully believe Anthony's report, but took a long drink anyways.  Now he would need to see the body, he wasn't willing to believe you were dead, but he always anticipated you would die on a mission.  He was kicking himself in the ass for asking you to go, or not allowing more back up.  He knew you were good with recons, and thought it wouldn't matter the partner.  
 He took another sip of his bourbon and hung his head.  He had a decision to make, he could go in guns blazing to find the body or maybe you were just tortured.  He knew he couldn't take down the base, it was still a top level priority to find out what was going on down there, and it was a delicate situation.  He saw his phone go off from an unknown number and declined it.  He didn't want to talk to anyone right now.  He stalked out of his office and slammed a copy of the report on Maria's empty desk.  She had already read it and had gone to chase down Anthony for more answers.  He could only think of one thing, and that was being as close to you as he could.  Even if it was a new place, he knew Daisy would give him some comfort and then he'd know what to do.  He could send Maria down, but then he would be risking losing another agent.  
When Fury arrived at the compound, he saw everyone was sitting around the supper table.  Daisy looked up and yipped running to him.  Tony looked at him curiously as he watched Fury get down on the floor and hold Daisy close to him.  
 "What are you doing here?  Did you just get back from your mission?" Tony got up from the table and walked over with Steve beside him.  
 "This morning" Fury felt a tear fall down his face as Daisy lapped at his face.  "Can I see my daughter's old room?" he asked gently.  
 "You mean current room" Steve corrected him, and Fury handed him the report and followed Tony to your room.  When he walked in he was amazed.  You had always talked about getting a record player, and there it was in the corner.  He sat on your bed while Daisy whined at him and Steve looked at the report.  "This isn't a confirmation of death" 
 "It might as well be" Fury shook his head hanging his head.  "The base is filled with literally hundreds of enemy fighters" 
 Tony looked over the report and walked out and went to Bruce who hurried to his lab.  Bucky and Nat looked up curiously.  
 "She's dead" Fury shouted at Steve who was shaking his head at him.  
 "She's a fighter, she wouldn't go down without a fight" Steve raised his voice.  Bucky dropped his fork and got up anxiously.  Alpine ran to him and started purring while crawling up on his shoulder.  
 "Its been two days since he left her there, there's no way" Fury didn't want to believe it.  
 "She's a soldier, raised by you.  You think she can't figure out a way to survive something like this?" Steve demanded while Bucky came over and took the report away from Steve and read it over.  
 Tony came back in holding his phone with a smirk on his face.  
 "All due respect, but you don't know your daughter then.  Dead bodies don't move this much" he showed the tracker that showed you were moving around quite a bit and your co-ordinates still inside the base.  "She's on my team, its my call.  I'm pulling her out" Tony looked to Steve who nodded in agreement.  
 "You can't just go in that base, there's high priority data there" Fury shook his head. 
 "You would rather think she's dead?" Bucky demanded.  "You'd rather leave her there?" he took a step towards him. 
 "Step back agent" Fury glared. 
 "We are going to get her, and I can guarantee she likely has your data" Tony turned and looked at the table.  "Everyone, suit up" 
 "We've got Daisy and Alpine" Pepper called over.  
 "Wait" Fury looked like he was fighting with himself.
 "What?" Steve glared at him.
 "I'm coming with you" he stood up.  "If my daughter is alive, I want to see her" 
 "There is no if, she is alive" Bucky growled and headed to his room.  
You had managed to capture close to twenty high profile targets.  You tied them up and defrosted them before forcing them to all sit in a circle in front of the camp.  You had found a phone that was almost dead and made one phone call before it died to Fury.  It went straight to voicemail.  You were pissed to say the least.  You should've called Tony or Bucky.  The landlines only called internal numbers.  You had managed to collect the data from all the rooms you needed them, finding spare data drives around the base which you had put to good use.  You were in pain, and wanted to lay down and cry.  You erected ice walls around your prisoners, and had managed to save two busloads of children which you promptly freed.  You hoped Tony would have the good sense to come and check for himself if he was told you were dead.  You made sure to keep moving as much as it hurt.  You knew you had infections in some of the wounds you had.  There wasn't a piece of your body that didn't hurt.  You struggled to get in the tree to get your backpack and the schematics of the base down so you could eat something or drink something.  One of the men in the center of your ice cage started screaming at you, and your threatened him with your whips.  That seemed to calm all of them down quite quickly.  They saw you for the monster that hydra had tried to make you.  They had watched you whip and kill several men with those whips over the last few days.  You kept telling yourself you needed to stay awake and stay moving so the team would come for you.  
 When you first heard a jet, you thought that you were hearing things.  You had been awake for almost five days straight, and wouldn't be surprised if you started hallucinating things.  You leaned against the tree still holding out your whips watching your prisoners carefully to see if they would test you again.  You pushed the ice cage above them more, putting more power into it since it was hot out.  You didn't want to risk it losing its structural integrity.  
 "Doll" you heard a familiar voice, and pushed your powers more trying to force yourself to keep moving even if it was slightly.  You were in a lot of pain, and just tired.  You felt a hand reach down and touch you on the shoulder and you jumped thinking someone was coming for you again.  You looked up and saw Bucky looking at you worriedly.  
 "I knew you'd come for me" you gasped and felt him pull you into a hug.  You yowled in pain but held on tight to him.  
 "What the hell is this?" Nat came over with Steve beside her.  They were all geared up for battle.  
 "Prisoners" you muffled against Bucky's chest.  "I released the real prisoners" you added for good measure.  "Fifty children" Bucky took that moment to pick you up like a princess and looked at you worriedly still.  
 "You're hurt bad doll" he whispered.  
 "But I took down the whole base on my own" you tried to smile, but grimaced.  
 "Bring her back to the jet, tell the others I need help keeping an eye on these ones till we can get another jet down here for pickup " Steve ordered.  Bucky nodded and started to hurry back, honestly worried with all the blood that he could see and your makeshift bandages.  You held onto him for dear life.  You saw Tony taking in what carnage you had left behind, and the prisoners in his ironman suit.  As Bucky carried you into the jet Bruce ran over with the first aid kit.  
 "We need to send for another jet for the prisoners" Bucky looked to Fury.  Fury ran over and looked at you with a tear falling down his face. 
 "Anthony reported you as dead" he touched your cheek and you flinched.  
 "He's a liar and a coward" you spit up some blood.  "I took down your base, and I got your data.  I also freed the prisoners that I could" you glared at him.  "Twenty high profile targets are awaiting you for processing" you felt Bucky lay you across a few seats and Bruce started pulling at the bandages.  You cried out in pain.  "I tried to call you, and it went to voicemail" you glared at Fury.  "It was the only call I could make and I called the wrong number" you cried out again as they pulled off more bandaging.  Fury looked angry all the sudden, realizing his own mistake was more than once.  He stood up and called Maria to have Anthony detained, and then requested for a jet to come get the prisoners.  He told them he wanted them there hours ago, so they had better make it quick.  
 "These are pretty bad" Bruce looked at Bucky.  "We are going to need Doctor Cho on this one" 
 "Take her" Fury shook his head.  "Take Cho, just save my daughter" 
 "We just need to borrow her for a few hours.  Some of these are infected already, and she knows the regeneration machine better than we do.  The bullets need to come out, but she's already bleeding too much" Bruce shook his head.  Bruce tried cleaning some of the wounds and you let out a scream.  
 "Shh.. its okay doll.  Breathe with me" Bucky whispered to you, showing you to inhale and exhale slowly.  
 "I might be late for that date" you gave a weak smile.  
 "Just don't stand me up doll" he gave a half smile.  Bruce tried disinfecting the wounds again and you let out another blood curling scream as the wound bubbled.  Steve and Tony came back with Natasha and closed up the back.  
 "Wanda, Vision, Sam, Loki, Thor and Pietro will take the next jet back.  We need to get her to the regeneration machine" Tony tapped his suit off and the nano technology went back into his chest piece.  
 "No, we need Cho" Bruce shook his head.  "She's got bullets still in her, and she's got some infections" he added.  "She can handle those best" 
 "We are headed to Shield then" he stopped and looked at Fury.  "You shouldn't have doubted her" 
 "No shit" Fury shook his head.  He was still in shock.  "Anthony is being detained on his report"  
 "I have proof that he lies" you grimaced.  
 "Where's your cell phone.  I said to check in" Tony came over to sass you.  You reached down and pulled what was left of the smashed device from your pocket.  "Recorded conversations, pictures, a lot of data is on here if you can get it" you let Tony take it from you.  
 "You clearly need a new phone when you get home" Tony smirked.  "You did a good job, you stayed alive and you kept moving so we would know you were okay.  I don't remember approving hostages" 
 "They were taking kids" you grimaced.  "I couldn't save them all, but I damn well tried.  It will be in my report" 
 "You are going to take a few days before you start working on the report.  Lets get you healed up first and rested.  You look like hell" Tony smirked a little.  
 "I need that report as soon as possible" Fury tried to argue. 
 "You'll get it, once she's rested" Steve spoke easily.  
 "I need to see more of the damage" Bruce spoke gently.  
 "It hurts too much" you shook your head.  
 "Doll, listen, I'm right here" Bucky took your hand, and kissed your knuckles which were scraped up.  "Let Bruce take a look at what he can" 
 "Don't leave me" you looked at him, and saw Fury look between the two of you confused.
 "Never" he shook his head and kissed your knuckles again.  You felt Bruce try to look at more of the wounds and let out a cry, but Bucky just held you hand more firmly while you squeezed hard trying to stay awake.  Now that you could lay down all you wanted to do was pass out.  "Try to stay awake just a little longer doll" Bucky could see your eyes closing.  
 "I'm tired" you yawned, and let out another cry as Bruce pulled off another makeshift bandage.  
 "You need to stay awake Y/N, at least till we get to Cho.  You seemed to have lost a lot of blood" Bruce spoke gently.  "You did a good job on your mission, you just need to hold out a little longer"
