"Is he gonna make it?" Nat asked.

We were inside a room across from the operation area where Nick was in. The doctors and nurses had bought him to operate to remove the bullets.

"I don't know" Steve responded, taking his eyes of the window and toward me. I had my head in between my legs, I didn't look up at anyone or any voice. I felt both their eyes on me.

"Is she okay?" Nat asked, referring to me.

"I don't know, she won't talk to me!" Steve answered.

"Tell me about the shooter" Nat asked, turning back to Steve.

"He's fast and strong. Had a metal arm" the door opened, I lifted my head to see Maria with tears in her eyes. My head went back down.

"Ballistics?" Nat asked, not talking her eyes of Nick.

"Three slugs, no rifling. Completely untraceable" Maria told us.

"Soviet-made" Nat explained.

"Yeah" Maria said.

Suddenly we all watch in shock as Fury's state deteriorates.

My ears blocked out, the only I heard were.

"He's in V-tach"

"Crash cart coming in"

"Nurse, help me with the drape"

"Nurse: BP is dropping"

"Defibrillator!"

"Come on Nick, please don't..." I thought to myself, head still buried in between my legs.

"I want you to charge him at one hundred"

"Don't do this to me, Nick" Nat mumbled.

"Stand back! Three, two, one. Clear!" Nick is given a shock.

"Pulse?"

1wait to hear the response.

"No pulse"

The three watch the doctors as they continue to revive Nick, but he still flatlining. I got up and walked out of the room, slamming the door shut. I couldn't hear it anymore.
