Out Of Time

eighty-five

Y/N woke up as Fury, Natasha, and Sam found her. Sam and Nat quickly rushed the twins to the hospital. On the way, Y/N starting realizing that she had forgotten about one thing. Her team. They were in danger. Or, at this point, could have been dead. So she snuck away. She knew she needed the medical care, but her team needed her more. Fury caught her in the back of the hospital and stuffed her into a van.

"What are you doing?" Y/N questioned.

"Helping you," Fury answered, waving the driver to go. "And your team."

"Do you know where they are?"

"Even better, I know where they're headed. And I'm going to get you there first to help."

"Where are we headed?"

"The airport. I have a jet waiting to take you to one of my bases off SHIELD's radar. Agent Eric Koenig will be there to greet you, he knows you're coming."

"Thanks, Nick."

"I just have to warn you, Romanoff called Stark."

"What?!"

"And he's heading to the hospital. He's not going to be very happy when he realizes your gone."

Y/N began massaging her temples. "He's going to call a national search party."

"Then call him."

"He'd insist on coming with me. And there's no way, especially after today, that he's ever going to back down again. I can't call him, not until my team is safe."

"Where is she?" Tony rushed into the hospital. Natasha was there to meet him, trying to figure out where Y/N could have gone. "I watched the helicarriers go down. Please tell me she wasn't on those."

"Tony, I'm going to need you to calm down," Nat said, setting her hands on his arms.

"Calm down?! My girlfriend was a fugitive of the law! And she wouldn't let come help her. Not to mention that the agency you all were working for was actually HYDRA. So, no, I will not calm down until she's safe in my arms."

"That's the thing, Tony.... She's missing."

"What do you mean she's missing?"

"We brought her and Steve here as soon as we found them. I went out to call you and when I came back, Y/N was gone."

It was freezing, wherever Fury had her dropped off. Luckily, he had things in the jet already for her. She folded her arms across her chest for warmth as she walked to where Fury told her to. A rock suddenly started moving, revealing the base. A man was there waiting for her.

"Agent Rogers, it is truly a honor to meet you," he greeted as Y/N walked into the base. "I'm Agent Eric Koenig. And this is what I call Providence."

"Have you heard from my team yet?" Y/N asked as they walked further into the base.

"Not yet, but you will be informed as soon as they make contact."

"Thank you."

"I have a room set up for you and here." Eric handed her a lanyard. "This will allow you access to everything."

As she put it around her neck, she felt the pain in her shoulder. "Do you have a first aid kit? I've kind of had a long day."

"Everything you need is in your room. And here we are." Eric stopped in front of a door, opening it. "The panel on the wall will allow you to know everyone's location and has a map of the base. I'll leave you to get some rest. Let me know if you need anything."
