The three heroes stormed the base through the roof, taking the building floor by floor, taking down every HYDRA agent they could. Finally they made it to the control room. Clint began downloading as much intel as he could from the database.
'Okay, Sam, watch Clint's back. I'll go and break the prisoners out, at least the ones that are still alive.' Sam nodded as he ran for the stairwell.
'Hey Cap,' Clint called after him, 'come back alive, please.' Steve nodded and left.
He took the stairs two by two and found a row of cells. He ran past each one and used his shield to bend the lock and break them free; this all felt rather familiar. He helped them towards the exit, instructing them to go to Clint and Sam in the control room. Just as he turned to check behind him, he was shot right between the eyes with a Dendrotoxin bullet.
The prisoners made their way up the stairs and the two boys sighed with relief.
'Where's Cap?' Clint asked.
'I heard a gun shot when he was trying to get us out.' One of the men spoke up. Clint slapped a hand to his forehead.
'Cap, come in.' Sam yelled down his comms. 'Steve?'
'Wilson, Barton,' it was Fury's voice over their earwigs, 'get the prisoners and yourselves out of there now.'
'Not without Cap.' Clint answered.
'Steve's a big boy, I'm sure he's fine, just get out of that base before we blow it to kingdom come.' Clint sighed; Nat was going to kill him.
Steve slipped in and out of consciousness as he was dragged out of the base and into a chopper. The last time he woke up before another dose of Dendrotoxin was when he was strapped onto a metal slab.
