"Wake up," Bucky says, he focuses on the condition of Cia, ignores the few wounded parts on his back.
Cia passed out in Bucky's arms, sweated, unconscious. Still, she can feel a gentle medal hand is patting her cheek.
"How is she?" Natasha runs to them, feels all surprised by what happened.
"Let's get back to our building first, we need a helicopter." Steve worries, and he is also glad that no one gets any serious hurt.
Soon, they are in the helicopter of Avengers sign on it.
"How is this happening?" Steve looks at the fainted Cia and says.
"I think she isn't strong enough to handle a battle right now." Natasha is the one who takes care of Cia,
Bucky says nothing and just looking at the girl who leans her body on Natasha's shoulder.
Suddenly, Cia wakes, she looking her partners with a wild opened eyes, and soon, she remembers what happened after she crashed the airplane of Hydra.
"Oh!... " She breathes heavily, and having a face of regrets.
"I am so sorry…" Cia says, crawling her fingers into her hair,
"No, it's ok," Steve says to calm her down.
Meanwhile, Cia has all of the thoughts running through her head, for the first time in many years, she feels regrets and ashamed in herself. Back in her planet, she is always in her best condition in the army. The first rule of being in the army of Fieotimo is that it's one's responsibly to take care of one's health condition. Before every battle, they have to assure that they are fully functioned and prepared for the fight, otherwise, army is a teamwork, other people need to risk their lives to rescue you for your careless. Well, you might think that people in Fieotimo are born kind, they won't mind the little help for others. That's not true, they respect themselves and they respect others, that's why they make 0 conflicts in the army partnership.
"No!" Cia turns her head to her partners, looking seriously. "It's not your job to babysits me, I shouldn't let my own problem to rise the danger in the mission," her words shocks Cap and Black Widow, this is the longest sentence that they heard from Cia. "Sorry, I need to get some air, " Cia opens the door of the helicopter, and flies out.
Back in the building, Sam comes out to the lobby and welcomes his friends back, and he looks around and asks "Where is Cia?"
"She said she needs some air, probably won't be back in a short time" Steve worries.
Natasha nods, "I guess Wanda and I will do the shopping for her…"
Out in the sky, Cia flies above the clouds, watches the beautiful clouds underneath the warm sunlight, she stands in the middle of the sky, she decided to take this chance to go through the pain she has. She holds her arms together, letting her legs curing, which make herself position looks like an infant.
"Where are you now…" she whispers, tears are rolling down from her face and drops on her knees. She closes her eyes, and letting her imagination leads her to Fieotimo. She will always remember the place where her friends love to take her to, the nature she loves, the restaurant where her parents had their wedding, the neighborhood she grew in… all of these places are faded now. Cia can't help herself but crying out loud, it burns her when she think of those beautiful places in her planet. There is nothing she knows what to do but crying…
"Are you alright?" a gentle male voice came into her ears. She stops, and looks at the man who is also flying next to her,
It's Vision, he is just flying passed by on duty, he didn't know he would find a crying girl in the middle of sky.
Cia recognizes Vision immediately, she remembers that he was also in the conversation with Thor on the day she arrived. "I am alright," she says, wipes out her tears by back of her hand.
"I'm Vision, I believe I haven't introduced myself to you," Vision says gently, "Are you going back to the Avengers building ?" he asks.
Cia sudden realizes that it's already about midnight, she is surprised that she spends that much time in here. And now, she just feels tired and exhausted.
"Here, let me help you to get back." Vision leads her to fly away and disappears in the clouds.
"There," Vision leads her to the grass in front of the Avengers building, "Thank you," Cia says, she can barely stand up straight, she feels like she could fall into those grass in anytime.
"You are safe now, go and get some rest, I still have my work to do, see you soon." Vision speaks as he takes her to the lobby door.
Cia pushes the lobby door with her finger prints for entrance. The lobby is quiet and dark, she tries hard not to make any noise. She walks across the floor slowly and softly.
"You are back."
A clear voice breaks the silence, Cia was frightened by the voice in the darkness. She finds that Bucky is sitting at the couch and wide awake.
"What did you do?" Bucky continues, he doesn't care how loud he is at this moment.
"Uh… Nothing, " Cia responses, she doesn't want to explain that she spend more than 10 hours crying, and she knows how terrible her eyes looks right now.
"Sit down" Bucky demands, sounds like he doesn't take no as an answer,
For Cia, it really doesn't matter, because she needs to sit down for a while, and it sounds like a good idea to sit in the soft couch with cushions. Cia sits down, right next to Bucky.
Cia lies her head against the long cushion and closes her eyes, before she falls asleep, she clearly sensed that Bucky leans over and hold her into his arms. Bucky says nothing, but the warmth that he gave to Cia makes her feel safe for the first time of the day. She falls asleep…
