There was shouting. Lots of it. You could make out Steve's voice, and Nat's. "Why did you let her heal Wanda when she was this injured!" The redhead yelled at the Captain. "She told me to bring Wanda to her, I thought she could handle it!" Steve yelled back.

"Come on guys, you know how she always puts herself before everyone." A new voice said. Sam. Nat shouldn't have been mad at Steve; it wasn't his fault. Sam was right. You would have helped your teammates even if had meant you would die, it's just who you were.

"Stop yelling. My head hurts." You mumbled, causing a silence to enter the room. You felt a hand in yours, probably Steve's. Opening your eyes, you were right, big baby blues were staring down at you, worry plastered all over his face. "Ally, we were so worried. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have let you heal Wanda out there." He whispered. You shook your head. "You couldn't have stopped me Steve. Is everyone else okay?"

He nodded. "Just scrapes, you and Wanda got the worst of it. She's okay too, feeling guilty. She's sleeping right now." You nodded. Lifting your hands, you tried to heal yourself, but nothing was happening. You shook your hands and tried again, nothing. Nat took your hand. "You're too weak. You need to rest. You can try again when were back at the compound." You nodded, closing your eyes, squeezing your hand.

"Was Bucky okay when you told him?" You asked. He would be so worried; he probably wouldn't let you leave the compound again. There was silence and you opened one eye to see Nat having a pointed look argument with Steve. "Please tell me you called Bucky and told him, right?" You heard Steve sigh and leave the room, hopefully to call Bucky. You felt cold, colder than usual. "Nat…" You whispered. You felt her lean her head on your shoulder, shushing you, telling you that you were almost back to the compound.

You squeezed your hand with whatever strength you had left. You knew you had lost too much blood, and with you not being able to heal yourself, you weren't sure you were going to make it. "Please tell Bucky I love him and that I'm sorry." You told her before your hand went limp and the monitor they had you hooked up to started beeping.

Bucky's POV

He should have never let her leave. He should have gone with them. He could have protected her. Of course, he had told Steve that when he called, but Steve had said that it wouldn't have mattered, that there was nothing Bucky could have done. While that may have been true, he at least would have been there with her.

He was already waiting on the tarmac when the jet landed. About a dozen nurses from the med wing came running past him as the back of the jet opened and they got Ally on the stretcher. Bucky's heart almost stopped. Steve and Nat were covered in blood, her blood. She was so pale, and she wasn't moving. Bucky couldn't move from his spot. He was frozen.

Bucky was in a haze as he followed the nurses into the med wing, arms crossed in front of him in the corner of the room while Dr. Cho and the others worked on her, hooking her up to all kinds of machines. He turned and walked out, right up to Steve. "What. The. Hell. Happened." He growled.

"The base was a setup. There were 6 guards stationed outside. Once Ally got inside with Wanda and Pietro, they found three engineers. Before Nat could get to them to speak Russian, there were nukes sent out. Blew the whole damn base apart." Steve said, sighing and running his hand over his face. "Pietro was able to get them out of the building in time, but just barely. The blast blew them all and Ally got the worst of it. Wanda was hurt, Ally told me to bring her over so she could heal her. She shouldn't have. She was too weak." Bucky's fists clenched.

"When she woke up on the jet, she couldn't heal herself. She had lost too much blood." Nat continued, looking down at the blood on her hands. Ally's blood. "She started seizing right before we got here."

Bucky's eyes went wide as he watched the monitors flatline in her room. The doctors were doing everything they could to bring her back. When they finally got a heartbeat, they rolled her out of the room, Dr. Cho letting them know that she needed surgery. Bucky felt like he was going to explode. He needed to get out of there before he killed someone. Shrugging off Steve's hand and ignoring Nat, Bucky ran to the gym. He started in on the punching bag, hitting it as hard as he could. These were stronger, Tony had made them a new round, enforcing the bags with Kevlar. So far Steve hadn't been able to break any, but Bucky was sure with the way he was going, he would.

Bucky barely noticed the blood staining the bag. He didn't even feel it. What if he lost her? He just got her back and was starting to remember more. The way her nose would scrunch up when he teased her. The way she used to tell of Howard Stark anytime he ever made a pass at her. How mesmerized he had been when they danced together for the first time. How good she was a poker, and that she caught Dum Dum every time he tried to cheat. He would have loved to marry her and have as many kids as she wanted and live out the rest of their days.

Bucky really liked how beautiful she was when she used her powers. She looked like a goddess. She was the most beautiful person Bucky had ever known and he needed to tell her that more often. He would. If she made it. Bucky fell to the floor on his knees. She had to make it. He wasn't sure he could make it without her. He was angry with himself for not going, angry and Steve and Nat for not protecting her, and angry with Wanda for needing healing, even though he knew none of them were at fault.

He was still angry.

Winter was angry.

Bucky didn't know how long he sat on the floor, could have been hours. He didn't even hear anyone come up, and he barely felt Steve put his hand on his shoulders. "She's out of surgery now Buck, you can go see her" Bucky nodded and stood, feeling like he was on auto pilot as he walked back to her room. He sat down in a chair next to her bed and paled at all the tubes and wires coming out of her. Even from her mouth. The doctor came in and told them they were able to repair all the damage, which was a lot. She had a broken leg, broken arm, four broken ribs, a massive concussion, and they had to remove her spleen. Dr. Cho told Bucky she should be awake in a few hours.

But Ally didn't wake up.
