Beep Beep Beep Beep

"How's she looking Banner?" Steve asked.

"Not good Steve. She lost a lot of blood and took quite a few hard blows to the head. Her skull was fractured in a couple of places. I wouldn't be surprised if she has some serious brain damage. If she wakes up from this coma we properly assess the extent of her brain function." Banner said to Steve sadly.

"Thank you Banner." Steve replied sadly holding Natasha's hand. Tears pooled in his eyes. He was going to get the son of a bitch that did this to her. And when he does he'll wish he'd never laid a finger on Natasha.

"Steve. We need to go." Natasha said bursting into the room and hastily packing her bag. He snapped out of his daze and looked at her with concern.

"What's wrong?" Steve asked taking a breath

"Perimeter sensors were triggered. Security cams showed a vehicle with Hydra agents in it headed our way." She replied holstering her guns. Steve grabbed his shield and his bag.

"Okay let's go." He said running out to the garage. He slid his shield into the slot at the of his bike. He'll have to remember to thank Tony for that addition later. Natasha opened the garage door and jumped onto the back of Steve's bike sliding her arms around his torso. Steve revved the engine and started down the driveway. A jeep skidded to a halt at the end of the driveway. Steve slammed on the breaks. Men in black uniforms and ski masks got out of the jeep and pointed their guns at the them. A man with a monocle got out of the vehicle and walked toward the pair on the bike.

"Captain America and the Black Widow. It's a pleasure to meet you in person. I have heard so much about you two. I have read so much about you two."

"Strucker." Steve said gritting his teeth.

"FUCK!" Natasha exclaimed as a Hydra agent sunk a knife deep into her thigh. Her shackles clanged against the metal chair she was seated in.

"What do you want from me?" Steve yelled at Strucker. "LET HER GO!"

"Captain." Strucker said with a cynical chuckle. "You already are giving me what I want and you will continue to give me what you want. I want you to suffer. I want you to watch as everything in you life is taken from you. First the girl you love. Then your friends." He motioned towards Natasha. "Then your country. Then your world. By the end of this you will begging me to kill you and even that I will deny you. Take him back to his cell."

Steve was lead back to his cell. The Hydra guard uncuffed him.

"Before we get started...Does anyone want out?" He said. The guards looked at him puzzled. He grabbed one of the guards by his neck and threw him against the wall rendering him unconscious. The other guard rushed him. He grabbed the guard's gun and ripped it out of his hands. There was a fire inside Rogers. One of pure anger and rage. One he feared he could not control. He turned the gun on the guard.

"WHERE IS SHE?" He yelled at the guard. "WHERE IS SHE?" Shoving the gun in the guard's face.

"Down the hall." The guard croaked out "Second to last door." Steve took the gun away from the guards face.

"Thank you." He said with a nod. He took a breath. "You were very helpful." He raised his fist and punched the guard in the face knocking him unconscious. He searched the guards pockets and found a key ring with 3 keys on it.

"Bingo." Steve said pocketing the keys. He carefully crept to the cell door and looked both ways down the hallway before advancing towards the opposite end of it. He heard a weak clang of chains on metal. Sure enough in the second to last cell there the read head sat leaned up against the cell door. The strongest and most beautiful woman alive. Natasha looked up at Steve her eyes full of pain and anger. This was the weakest Steve has ever seen his partner.

"Steve" She said weakly trying to stand up. She almost managed to but then came toppling down. Steve quickly got the door to the cell open and cradled her in his arms.

"I'm going to get you out of his." He said softly kissing her forehead. His breathing labored. An uncontrollable rage filled him. He carefully lifted Natasha up and placed her gently on his shoulder. He readied his gun and charged into battle.

Steve has no idea how he made it out of the Hydra facility but he did and he took down quite a few hydra agents down. He was now walking parallel, but at a distance, to a road in the middle of a forest, already a few miles away from the camp. He stopped for a moment to listen to his surroundings. All he heard were the gentle rustle of leaves, and the chirps of the song birds that inhabited the area. Any other day this would peaceful. He would love to spend a day out here with Natasha. Hiking, camping, or just having a picnic. Anything to spend time with her. If he could get them both out of this he promised himself he would come back here with her. He heard a groan come from his shoulder. His mind came back from his fantasy. Natasha's pulse was getting weaker with every passing minute, he couldn't waste anymore time. He had tried to treat her wounds with what he found but it wasn't enough to stop her bleeding. She needed medical attention as soon as possible. He started walking a little faster up the hill in front of him. As he came up over the crest of a hill, he saw a small inhabited town at the bottom. He wasted no time getting down to the small town. He went into the first public building that was open and asked if he could use their phone and he called Tony. Voicemail.

"Tony, It's Steve. We have a problem. Natasha is down and I'm losing her man." Steve choked up a bit. "We are in a small town called Pinecrest in Northern California. Please hurry."

He'd be damned if Strucker took away the woman that he loved.

AN Sorry about not updating for a couple of days. I have AP testing this week so I spent most of the weekend studying for that. Hope you enjoy :).
