"There´s a woman chained the wall in here." She heard a voice called out and she knew it was not one of the men that had been watching over her cause she was never going to forget their voices.
"A woman"" She heard an all to familiar voice saying.
"It´s Captain jack ass." Ella said as she kept her head down cause she didn´t have the strength to lift her head cause she was so tried and in so much pain.
"Ella?" Steve said with a shocked look on his face cause he had been told my Fury that she had been in the building when he and Natasha had left.
"A little help?" She said as she pointed to the chain that was around her foot and she let out a hiss as she felt her ribs hurt from turning to fast.
Steve dropped his shield as he walked towards her, and he got down on his knees as he placed his fingers on her chin so he could get a better look at her and what he saw made him sick to his stomach.
"What the hell did they do to you?" Steve said more to himself then the others.
"You should see the other guy." Ella said as she opened her good eye so she could look at him"
"I am getting you out of her." Steve said as he placed a hand on each side of her face as he gave her a quick smile before he stood and walked over and grabbed his shield witch he had dropped the second she had looked up at him cause he had not expected her there and he turned back and swung his shield down on the chain that they had but around her foot to stop her from trying to escape.
Ella tried to stand on her feet, but her legs gave away from underneath her and she groaned out as she felt the pain from not being able to stand for long time.
"I got you." Steve said as he turned and shoved his shield into Tony´s chest, trying back around Steve bowed down." Put your arms around me." Steve said and the second he felt her arms moved around his neck, he got back on his feet and hurried out of the room with Ella in his arms.
Steve walked down the hallway and as he turned the corner, he sees Sam and Natasha coming towards him." Is that a woman?" Sam asked with a shocked look on his face cause they had not seen anyone in the past hour they had been there.
"Phil´s niece." Steve said as he walked past they two of them.
"Did he say Phil´s niece?" Tony asked as he looked over at Sam and Natasha.
"She was helping us back in D.C." Natasha said as she turned her head over her shoulder to see Steve pushing the door open with his foot, before she turned back to Tony.
"Fury had been trying to get in touch with her after D.C. but she was not answering his call so he assumed she went into hiding right after.
"But what is she doing way out here?" Sam asked as he looked between Tony and Natasha.
"I don´t know, but what ever it was something important must have brought her out here." Natasha said as she heard Steve´s voice in her ear telling them to get moving.
"Let´s go." Natasha said with a nod of her head and the three of them walked out of the building and headed towards the jet that was a few meters away from the building.
"How is she doing?" Steve asked Dr. cho." As he walked into the room to find the doctor standing there looking at Ella with a worried look over her face.
"She is lucky that you guys found her when you did." She said as she turned to Steve.
"What do you mean?" Steve asked as he walked over and stood on the other side of the bed as he looked down at Ella.
"When she was scannede it showed she has a least three broken ribs and a punctured lung and two broken fingers, and from what i could get out of her before she fall asleep she had been there a couple of days before you found her.
"But she will be okay? Right?" Steve asked with a worried look on his face as he looked up at the doctor.
"She is going to need a lot of time to heal and not just from her wounds, but mentally as well." The doctor said." The really did a number on her."
A few days later.
Sam was standing in the doorway as he looked into the room with a worried look on his face as he sees Steve sleeping in the chair beside Ella´s bed.
"How long has this been going on?" Sam asked to who ever had walked up behind him.
"He as been spending most of his time here, he only leaves to eat and shower." Sam heard Natasha say.
"That was three days ago." Sam said as he turned his head so he could look at Natasha." Ha anyone tried to talk to him about.."
"It´s Steve we are talking about." Natasha said as she turned her head as she heard groaning coming from inside the room and she sees Ella trying to sit up, but she falls back down on the bed.
"Steve!" She yelled as she hurried into the room as Steve quickly opened his eyes to see Natasha walking towards the Ella´s bed and he turned his head to see Ella was looking at him with her eyes open.
"Ella." Steve said as he jumps out of the chair and walks over and stand beside her bed." How are you feeling?" Steve asked as he placed his hand over her that was laying on the bed.
"I feel like i got run over by a truck and it won." She said and she gets confused for a second as to how she was staring at Steve Rogers." How long has i been out?"
"Three days." Steve said.
"I have to.." Ella said as she once again tried to sit up." Fucking hell!" She yelled out as she pressed her hand down on her chest.
"You have a punctured lung so you should probably lay back down." Steve told her.
"Maybe that is a good idea." Ella said as she let out a sigh of relief as the pain slowly vanished as she laid back down against the pillow.
"What were you doing at a Hydra base?" Natasha asked.
"Nat." Steve said, shaking his head cause this was not the right time for this."
"It´s okay." Ella said as she tried to sip up again, but second a hiss slipped past her lips, she felt a hand against her back and she looked up to see Steve looking down at her as he helped her sit up.
"Thank you." Ella said with a small smile on her face.
"You are welcome." Steve said as he smiled back at her and the started at each other until a fingers was snapping at them to get their attention and the both turned heir head to see Sam and Natasha looking at them.
"The hydra bass?" Natasha said.
"I had some information a bout a secret hydra bass and i was following up on it and..."
"How did you come by that information?" Steve asked.
"Really?" Ella asked as she looked towards Natasha who smiled at her before she looked back at Steve.
"You stole it from s.h.i.e.l.d. that day. That is why you told Fury to leave you?"
"I would not say stole..."
"You stole secret document from s.h.i.e.l.d.!" Steve asked as he folded his arms across his chest as he stared her down.
"I borrowed."
" Were you going to give it back?"
"Maybe." Ella said as she looked up at Steve and sees him raising his eyebrow." Fine i stole it, but.." Ella said as she pointed her finger between Steve and Natasha." It´s not like you guys were going to be using it anytime soon."
"What kind of document did you take?" Sam asked.
"Names and places that s.h.i.e.l.d. had been collected over the years. Names of people the knew to be hydra over suspected to be hydra and known location of hydra basses around the world."
"Why this one?" Steve asked.
"The better question is why where you there?" Ella asked as she looked at the three of them.
"We were looking for someone." Steve answered.
"The winter soldier, right?" Ella asked as she looked over at Steve.
"How did you know that?" Steve asked as he unfolded his arms as he looked over at Sam before looking back at her.
"Because he was there when the woke him up around the same time the found you in the ice."
"Are you sure?" Steve asked cause this was the first piece of information he had gotten on Bucky in weeks.
"Yeah i am sure." She said as she rubbed a hand across her stomach.
"When we arrived there was nothing to suspect that anyone had been there in years." Sam said.
"That is cause the emptied the place out the second the got word that you guys was on your way."
"Okay." Steve as he rubbed his eyes." Then how..."
"Before the caught me i swallowed the memory stick and don´t ever do that cause it hurts like hell going down." Ella said as she once again rubbed a hand across her stomach.
"Then why didn´t we find it when we scanned you?"
"How the hell should i know that, maybe cause the doctor has something to hide." Ella said annoyed.
"I trust Dr. Cho. We all do." Steve said when all of the sudden he looked over at Natasha with a confused look on his face.
"What is it?" Natasha asked, seeing the look on Steve´s face.
"Dr. Cho said when she was scanned."
"So you think someone else scanned her and saw the memory stick?" Natasha asked.
"There is only one way to find out." Steve said.
"I am on it." Natasha said as she turned and hurried out of the room.
"Can i go back to sleep cause i am tired." Ella asked as she laid back down on the bed and closed her eyes.
"Ella." Steve said as he placed his hand on her face." Open your eyes for a second."
"What?" She said as she open her eyes and looked at Steve.
"What name were you after?" Steve asked.
"Viper."
"Viper?" Sam asked.
"Yeah." Ella said as she closed her eyes.
"One more question." Steve said.
"What now." Ella said sounding like a small child.
"What´s vipers real name?"
"I don´t know, that´s what i was trying to find out, but she was one one phone a lot with someone she called Sin." Ella said letting out a sigh." Can i sleep now?"
"Yeah, Sleep." Steve said as he caressed her cheek with a smile on his face." What?" Steve asked as he looked up to find Sam smiling at him.
"What?" Sam asked.
"What´s with the smile?"
"You like her?"
"I don´t know her." Steve said as he sat back down on the chair that had been his home for the past few days.
"There is something about her that has you sleeping in a chair, it is like you are her watch guard."
"I don´t know." Steve said as he moved a hand down his face." You should have seen her inside that room, she didn´t look anything like the woman we meet that day with Fury, she looked so broken and lost and it.." Steve stopped talking cause he could look go back to that place again.
"Like?" Sam asked.
"She looked just like Bucky did when i found him strapped to that table when i found him and the others." So strong on the outside, but on the inside so broken and scared.
"So she is like your Bucky?"
"I don´t know, i guess. Dose that even make sense?" Steve asked with a sad smile on his face.
"Yeah, i guess it dose. You want to save her from the big bad world, but i don´t think she is the kind of woman that wants saving." Sam said.
" She is going to have to deal with it."
"I can´t wait for see that happening." Sam said with a smile.
"Get out of here." Steve said with a laugh cause he knew Sam was right, but Steve could not let go of the feeling he gotten when he had found her chain and beating.
Steve wanted to help her and he didn´t know why, maybe it was because he had read up on her and found out she was a lot like him, she wanted people to be safe and she would do anything to protect the people she loved and she had given up so much just like he had, but what bothered him the most was the fact that she had gotten rid of so many hydra members more than anyone had ever done and no one out side this world knew about the thing she had done.
