Blood For Love | C.D. + N.R.

Bleeding out is always fun, right.

Missions are always the worst when you're injured. But bleeding out in the middle of a highly dangerous place has it's own place on the scale of how bad things can be. As luck would have it that's where you are right now. In the middle of a HYDRA facility, bleeding out with shrapnel in your side. The only good thing is you're too girls are on the floor with you, keeping you alive. Maybe the other is that everyone in the facility was dead. So there was no need to worry about someone trying to attract you.

They can't exactly stop the bleeding because your body is trying to heal itself over and over again. Carol keeps begging you to use some of her energy, but you know that it will also take her powers. So you don't.

"Nat, she's not getting any better. You said Tony and Banner are on their way right?" The worried blonde looks at the redhead while holding your hand tightly.

"Yeah, I called them ten minutes ago. They said it would take around any hour to get here. Just hang on baby. Do that for me please." Nat was holding your head on her thigh, trying to keep you movements as little as possible.

"I'm trying, it just hurts like hell." You get out before you groan and squeeze Carol's hand tighter. You also screw your eyes shut and shake your head. Everything hurts right about now. You just so badly want to take a nap.

"Hey, hey, look at me. Look at us, okay. Keep your eyes open." Nat says to you and rubs her thumb on your cheek.
When you do open your eyes, you see both of them are trying to hold back their tears. You understand what they're feeling, you really do. If you had to watch one of them bleed out on the floor, you would be trying so hard to keep your tears in, to keep that stoic mask on.

"I can't do this right now, not now." Carol says before getting up and walking to the other side of the room. When she lets go of your hand, your arm drops to the ground and it somehow makes your side hurt. So you groan and clench your fists to try and feel some sort of other pain.

"Carol, come back. Freaking out isn't going to do anything good." Nat says as a single tear falls down her face, but she wipes it away before it could fall on your face.

"I'm sorry Nat, I can't. I cna't be that close to y/n and try to act like everything is ok. Our girlfriend is lying on the floor, bleeding out because she risked her life for me." The blonde was pacing badly as her hands were in her short hair, thinking of what to do, or what could have happened.

"Carol, listen to me. I only risked my life because I knew I could survive that bomb. Yes I'm bleeding out, I know that. But I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. And if that means throwing myself in front of you to protect you, I'll do it everyday." During your little speech you let out a couple coughs and clenched your fists a couple times. You now shake your head on Nat's lap because you're starting to get a headache from the amount of energy you're using to keep yourself alive and awake.

"Just take some energy from her, she'll be fine." Nat tries to reassure you.

"No, Nat. I already told you what will happen. And besides I've done it before and she wasn't able to stand up for a week." It was true. It happened a couple months after you had first met her. She was there with you and you were again, bleeding out because you risked your life for her. After you had taken enough energy to regain your strength and you had managed to pull the metal sheet from your back, you saw her limp body on the floor. It scared you half to death that you almost killed her. So you gave her a fraction of the energy back to make sure that she was still conscious.

But this time is different, the three of you know that too. This time there are multiple pieces in your body, not just one large piece.

"Carol, please. Come back." you say and then wince when you lift your arm up for her to take your hand. She walks over to you again and takes your hand while she's biting her thumb nail off the other.
