Please don't take this as I don't like Bobbi because I do. I think she is a badass.

Everything is on a Timer.

This room felt as cold and as damp as the one before. The only difference being that there was barely any light. The only light source was a beam coming from the ceiling to the right of the door they came through. That golden beam of light was shining onto something that was elevated but from where they were stood they couldn't tell what it was.

Lara began to feel her pockets searching for her torch. When she couldn't find it she searched in her backpack just incase she subconsciously put it away.

"Damn."

She couldn't find it. Lara figured she must of lost it when she dived at Bobbi during the dart trap. There was no way of getting it back as the door back was firmly shut.

Being the experienced archaeologist that she was, Lara's eyes had gotten used to adjusting quickly to the lack of light. She told the others to stay exactly where they were as she cautiously made her way down the dark steps in front of them.

When she reached the bottom she turned right and climbed a ladder up to the source of light. The ladder was an old rickety thing that felt like it was going to snap at any moment. Luckily Lara had caught a break and managed to get to the top with no issues.

Steve, Hunter and Bobbi waited a few moments. All they could hear was each other breathing. Someone had a blocked nose.

A loud creak echoed through the stone chamber. Lara now came into view as she was moving what appeared to be a mirror. She moved it so that the light shone just in front of the others.

"Aw this is gonna be like a puzzle or something isn't it?" whined Hunter loud enough for Lara to hear. Even though they couldn't see her features clearly Bobbi knew that Lara had just rolled her eyes as she had just done the same.

"Lara can you shine the light around the room so we know what's in here?" asked Steve.

She did as Steve asked. The light glided across the room illuminating the high walls beneath. The room was a maze, literally a maze. A maze that they had to get through in the dark. In the centre, however, was a clean path to the door opposite.

As Lara shined the light they saw that at either ends of the two sides of the maze was a lever. Each side had it's own obstacles. The left hand side appeared to have a lot of hanging rope and pits. The right hand side had a lot of towering levels with little nooks missing.

"There is writing above the door." Lara pulled out her binoculars as she left the light shining above the door, "Alone we are nothing but together the way opens."

"So the levers need to be pulled at the same time." stated Bobbi.

"Lara, I will be able to get to one of the switches." said Steve.

"Well yeah, you're the super solider." mumbled Hunter.

"I'll do the other." announced Bobbi, slapping Hunter on his shoulder.

Lara nodded an led the light to the left hand side. Bobbi followed the light signalling that she would handle that side. As Bobbi moved forward Lara tracked her with the light.

With light feet and grace Bobbi swung on the ropes and jumped over the pits with ease. Lara had forgotten how good Bobbi was and couldn't help but respect her skills even if they didn't see eye to eye.

Once Bobbi was in place at the lever, Lara moved the light back to Steve to guide him to the right hand side. Steve quickly bounded up and down the jagged walls he had to overcome. Lara had trouble keeping up with him. Given the tomb was so old every so often the wall would crumble but Steve swiftly grabbed another section of the maze.

With both Bobbi and Steve in place Lara moved Hunter to the door on the far wall just in case.

"THREE, TWO, ONE, PULL!" Shouted Lara as she could see them both ready at their levers.

A very heavy click reverberated through the cold stone chamber. The braziers above them suddenly lit up alighting the room in an orange glow. The walls of the mazes began to lower as the door began to open. The clicking didn't stop.

"Of course we're on a timer! RUN!" yelled Lara getting annoyed.

Lara slid down the ladder. As she neared the bottom the ladder snapped sending her to the floor. Luckily Lara landed on her feet and sprinted for the door. Bobbi and Steve were ahead of her. Bobbi turned as she reached Hunter on the other side of the door.

As the clicking continued, an earth shattering blast utterly destroyed the door the came through. Lara was blown to the floor by the shockwave alone. Steve spun around to run back to her.

Hydra had arrived. They rushed into the chamber with their guns drawn and immediately began firing on them. There were far too many for them to fight.

Bobbi and Hunter began firing back giving Steve and Lara as much cover as they could.

"Get up and run!" bellowed Bobbi as she shot down a Hydra agent who had edged forward.

Lara started to get to her feet again when a almighty burning pain shot through her leg. Blood was gushing out. She had been shot through her leg but the bullet hadn't gone the whole way through. Steve darted behind her, holding his shield up in defence.

As his shield bounced the bullets away, Steve helped Lara get to her feet. She threw her arm around his neck and he began to back up to the door slowly.

The door itself had begun to close. They were running out of time. Hunter and Bobbi started to blind fire hoping to make the agents to retreat as Steve and Lara stumbled past the nearly closed door.

As soon as they got through Lara unhooked herself from Steve's shoulder and flopped down onto the floor. She crawled out of harms way as Steve stepped back noticing the chains that held up the door. With one fast swing he threw his shield and it made clattering sound as it made contact with the chains. The old rusty chains snapped instantly slamming the door firmly shut and preventing it from opening again by conventional means.

Lara began calling out in pain. She had lost a fair amount of blood from her leg already. Bobbi rushed over and flipped Lara onto her stomach. She examined the damaged leg closely looking for the bullet.

"We need to take out the bullet Lara."

Lara just grunted her response. She was in far too much pain to talk without snapping at someone. Lara moved her arms allowing Bobbi to take off her backpack. Wasting no time Bobbi tipped the bag upside down and shook it until a medipack fell out.

All Steve and Hunter could do was stay alert. As Bobbi pulled out the bullet with a pair of tweezers, Lara squealed in pain and slapped the floor. Steve knelt down beside her and took her hand. She immediately began to squeeze it as he rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb.

"The worst is over." Bobbi told Lara as she started to bandage the wound.

Once Bobbi had done, Lara rolled onto her back and sat up. She examined the bandaged limb and thanked Bobbi. Bobbi gave her a small respectful smile in return, packing Lara's thing back into her bag.

"We need to hurry." said Hunter as he looked into the next room.

Bobbi helped Lara get to her feet. The pain was still too fresh for Lara to stand on her own. She lent on Bobbi for support as they entered the next room. Hunter led the group with Steve close behind, followed by Lara leaning on Bobbi.
