The Beginning of the End

by AvengingAwesomeness2307

A building ready to explode. A trick played on the team causes them to get caught inside. You know how the saying goes, "no man left behind" and that's what happened with Clint and Steve. But they made it out as the building was exploding. They got hurt and now the team will be forever damaged. Unless they can keep the man alive. May have character death in the end. First story.

1. Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I don't own the Avengers or Marvel but I do own my own characters and I'll let you know who those are when I think of them! Enjoy!

Chapter 1:

"Steve run!" Natasha shouted as they raced out of the building. Minutes after the Avengers had gotten to the scene, the building went up in flames. The civilians trapped inside were the only reason the team stayed. They helped them out but Steve stayed, being the only available hero who could lift the beam off of them. Natasha and Thor came running out of the burning building coughing, trying to clear the smoke from their lungs. Bruce stayed back from this mission and was helping medical. Bruce had Thor and Natasha both on oxygen, "keep them breathing." Iron Man had already finished evacuating people and was now trying to help put out the flames. Clint had made it out of the building, coughing up his lungs. "Everyone out?" he asked through his comms. "No, Steve went back in to help some couple but he's not answering his comms anymore," Natasha said breathlessly. Clint took a deep breath and ran back inside, "where was Steve's comm last located?" "fourth floor down from where you are, North wing, second room on the left," Bruce answered for Natasha. Clint ran down the stairs with a rag pressed to his nose and mouth. He was dodging falling debris everywhere when he saw the infamous shield laying on the ground. "Steve!" he shouted, hoping to get an answer from the soldier, "Captain!" There was a slight movement and Clint slowly made his way towards it, bow at the ready. There, underneath a piece of ceiling, was Captain America. All Clint could see was his arm so he grabbed it and pulled it up, the debris shifting off of the soldier. He got Steve cleared of the rubble and scanned him over, looking for major injuries. He could tell Steve was only half awake and he only had minor damage, burns on his body and cuts. He coaxed the man up, trying to get him to stand. "Come on Steve, we have to get out of here now!" yelled Clint, but Steve was 90% unconscious and was non responsive. "Come on Cap, you've got to walk with me." Steve slowly began to move his legs, walking very slowly with Clint up the stairs. The archer tried his best to have them avoid falling and burning walls and ceilings, but they were hit a couple times because he couldn't move fast enough. "Nat, I've got him, we're almost there, minimal damage-" he grunted as he was hit in the head with a falling light, "have the quinjet ready, Barton out." The two made it up to the main floor and Clint could see the door, "Come on Steve, don't give up on me yet...just a couple more steps." But Steve couldn't support his own weight anymore and he collapsed, bring Clint down with him. Seconds later there was an explosion that rocked the building, covering the men with sharp debris. "Hawkeye?" asked Bruce over comms. "we're up," Clint responded, quickly uncovering himself and Steve before heading towards the exit once again. Clint could see the outline of the jet and medics and Bruce could see the outlines of his team members. "uhh Bruce, are they out yet?" asked Tony over comms sounding scared. "almost why? Tony what's in there?" asked Bruce urgently. "There's bombs, lots and lots of bombs." Tony was cut off by a high pitched sound, causing everyone to cover their ears. Clint began to hyperventilate and fell down just as his world went black. "Tony get in there!" shouted Bruce as Tony began to head towards the entrance. Another bomb went off and Tony was blown backwards into the woods behind them. Steve's body was fired through the air and hit the ground near Tony and kept rolling until it hit Tony. Clint's body was also catapulted through the air and he hit a tree halfway to where Steve and Tony were, causing him to drop to the ground. The med teams ran to the Avengers as soon as they could but the only thing they got from the first man was a flat line.
