"Did you find what you were looking for?" Natasha asks as they were driving home. "Yes," Heidi responds distractedly as she gazes out the window. She was deep in her thoughts about what the girl said. "Everything okay?" "Hmm? Yes, I'm okay. Just missing Buck." He and Steve had gone on a mission that has been taking longer than expected. "He's texted me ten times on our whereabouts. Apparently they're on their way home so he's definitely missing you," Natasha says. Heidi couldn't help but smile. They were about thirty minutes away from the compound when Natasha noticed someone was following them on a motorcycle. She presses a button on her earpiece and says, "Got someone following us. Might need assistance." Heidi turns behind her. "What is it?" "Might be nothing but that bike has been following us for the past two hours." Heidi reaches into the glove compartment to grab a handgun and loads it.
The bike speeds up and moves over to the lane next to them on Heidi's side. The biker was wearing a helmet so they couldn't see a face. He looks over at them before zipping forward and taking the next exit. The two women relaxed. Natasha turns on her comms. "Disregard." Suddenly something bumps up behind them hard. They jerk forward from the crash. Heidi looks behind again while Natasha speeds up. A black jeep is right up behind them and looks like it's attempting to hit them again.
"Shit. The bike was a distraction," Heidi hisses. She tries to unbuckle herself so she can maneuver around to shoot but Natasha stops her. "No. Stay buckled in. I'm gonna get us out of here." She pushes down the gas and speeds the car up. The jeep follows behind. The jeep manages to get close up and hit them again. This time it hit their car on the side so the car swerved out of control for a moment. The impact jolts the girls roughly. Heidi screams as she felt something hit her side. The baby! He kicks again and the two women heard something snap. Heidi roars in pain. "Hold on," Natasha says with gritted teeth. She starts to swerve and pass other cars on the road, trying to lose the person chasing them.
"Stark. We need help now," Natasha yells. "Ahhh!" Heidi started to feel pain in her pelvic area. "Shit, no…it's early," she says with a moan. "What's broken?" Natasha asks as she zips past a semi. "I think he broke a rib…and I think he's com-AHHHHH!" Heidi's hands fling to her sides, trying to grab for something to hold on as a contraction washes over her body. Natasha slowly shakes her head. "So it begins…" she mutters to herself. "We've been compromised. Baby is coming, I repeat, baby is coming and we're being attacked." About a few minutes away from the compound, the girls saw Vision flying over them and he destroys the vehicle easily with the mind stone.
"Thanks Viz!" Nat says. He follows them straight to the compound. Rhodes and Tony, in his suit, met the girls as they parked the car. "How are we looking?" Tony asks in a rush. Rhodes opens Heidi's door and she immediately grasps for his arms. She hunches over and slowly moves to her side to get out of the car. She jerks up and yelps in pain as another contraction hits her. "Easy does it," Rhodes says as he pulls her up. "Take her to the hospice. Bruce and D'orsey are waiting for her. Romanoff, suit up. I've got heat signatures heading our way… and a lot." "Shit, nononono…" Heidi mutters with tears rolling down her eyes. "I've got you. You're okay," Rhodes says, trying to reassure her, as he helps her inside the compound. Someone brings them a wheelchair and he speeds off with her on it. Once they reached the hospice, Bruce and D'orsey help Heidi into a gurney. They get her hooked up to monitors and scans. "She's got two broken ribs, this might be a little difficult," Bruce says out loud. "A little difficult?" Heidi snaps. "Heidi, you need to breath. Your heartrate is rising fast. We need it to come down on a safer level, okay?" D'orsey explains. The woman, already sweating, nods. "Where's Buck? Have we contacted them?" They all stopped when they heard gunfire. "It's started," Bruce says and starts pressing buttons on monitors. "We've contacted Mr. Barnes and Mr. Rogers but they're not back yet." "God damnit Buck!" Heidi yells as she feels another contraction.
Steve and Bucky were flying a quinjet back to the compound. Bucky's phone rings and he puts it on speaker. "Stark?" "Hey…uh…Nat and Heidi ran into Hydra on the way home from New York aaannnnddd she's going into labor now. We need you guys over here now. Like right now!" "What?" The two men turn to each other. "Oh and your son apparently has your legs because he kicked Heidi hard enough to break some ribs." Bucky clenches his fists. "Ten minutes tops," Steve responds and starts to speed up. "Make it three!" They hang up and Bucky slams a fist against the wall next to him. "It's okay. She's with Bruce and the doc and everyone else has her covered," Steve reassures his best friend. "I need to be there." "We will! I'm trying to go as fast as I can."
