Quinn watched this gigantic man, feeling disgusted as she could see he was erect thru his pants. She growled, getting into a fight stance. "You like a girl with fire? Then your about to be burned." He chuckled deeply before charging at her. Within millisecond she tried to remember all that Gage taught her and what shes seen Clint do. Luckily this guy was easy as he started with a solid punch. She grabbed it easily, bending his arm painfully. He groaned in pain then she elbowed his chest hard but his free arm grabbed her arm, throwing her to the side. She glared up, ignoring the pain.

He went to grab her ankle, she used both feet to kick his face. She felt a satisfying urge flow thru her feeling his nose break under her feet. He yelped in pain, holding his nose. She growled, standing, delivering a high kick to his head, slamming him into the bars. He groaned in pain. She growled. "What? Never been the bitch before?" He growled, grabbing her arm quickly as he turned, blood flowing from his nose, lip and eye. "Your going to pay for this-" She kneed his cock, making sure she hit it dead on. It was hard which made it even more sensitive to pain. He yelled out, gripping himself then she punched face.

He fell down, gripping himself, woozy from the punch. Black growled, having watched the entire fight. "Com'on! Get up! Your going to take that from that bitch? Shes tiny you idiot! You should have squashed her under your hand." She glared, catching her breath. "It's not size that matters, it's how you use it." Her hair was a mess, bruises and cuts covering where skin shown, shirt ripped and dirty. He growled, walking away. She knew he would be back and most likely with instruments of torture. She remembers torture from her vision when she held Gage. She steeled herself, looking down at the gigantic man who now lay unconscious. She knew this is the place Gage would die in her arms and there was nothing she could do. Her eyes watered, already feeling his blood run thru her hands.

Gage drove fast as he could, tony was above him, keeping cover. Tony spoke to him in the comm. "so your dad is using Quinn to get to you?" Gage sighed. "Yep. I doubt she'l be seriously hurt. He needs her alive, shes his bargaining chip." There was a small pause, Gage was about to speak when Tony beat him to it. "Don't apologize for something your father did. He's obviously not right in the head. I know what it's like having a not so nice dad and being a target." Gage let out a breath, gripping the steering wheel. "Lets get our girl back." A few moments later, JARVIS spoke up. "Sir, I think there is something you should see." He brought up the news in Tony's HUD. They were at the scene of the accident, her car turned over, glass everywhere. They were saying there was a body missing and a witness saw them taking Quinn into another car. "Shit, Gage, be ready for paparazzi, this is all over the news." "Should have known."

Quinn breathed thru the pain. He had her strapped to a table, cutting her skin with a knife, breaking a finger here and there. She was stripped down to her bra and panties. He let the knife away from her skin, smirking. "If only my son had been half the woman you are. Then maybe he could handle a bit of pain." He stabbed her shoulder with the knife. She growled,ignoring the pain, glaring at him. "Fuck...you." He chuckled. "Even when you are broken down, bleeding you still fight." He brought the knife down her arm. She hissed, growling. Suddenly there was a commotion, he growled, dropping the knife. "He's here."

He walked away, going to hide,listening to the punches and bodies hitting the floor, a few gun shots heard. She felt her eyes water, a sob working it's way up her throat. Her mind chanting Gage is gonna die over and over. She heard rushed footsteps and the door opening to the prison she was in. "Oh God...Quinn..." She whimpered, hearing his voice. "Gage...no..." In seconds she saw his battle worn face, a cut ran along side his cheek, a few bruises. He swallowed, seeing her. "God what did he do to you?" He started to unstrap her, once she was free she hugged him tightly, sitting up, ignoring her body screaming at her in protest. "You shouldn't have come. I'm not worth this." he held her face, wiping tears away. "hey, I'm your knight, remember? Your worth everything to me." Her lip trembled then she saw Black come out of hiding, a large knife in hand. "aww your her knight. Always knew you were a softie." He turned, making sure she was behind him, glaring at his father. "You see? You failed. You failed because I didn't turn into the monster you are. I still have my humanity." Black glared, walking closer. "Strong words from such a weakling." Gage walked up to him, growling. "Lets see how much of a weakling i am." Quinn feebly tried to keep a grip on his shirt, to keep him here, to not die but her broken fingers made that difficult.

She watched the fight, standing by the table, not realizing how weak she was. She could feel a panic attack coming on watching the fight, wondering when the killing blow will happen. When Black was on the ground and Gage's own knife inbed deep in his throat. Gage growled over top of him, making sure his knife was in there nice and deep. "I've been waiting my entire life to do this. Your never gonna hurt us again." His father just gruggled blood, leaking out of his neck and mouth. He stood, taking his knife back and standing. He put his knife away then looked over at Quinn who looked horrified, having a panic attack. He started to take a step toward her. "Quinn.." Then he felt it..he looked down, starting to feel a wet spot in his shirt. She cred, seeing the blood stain spread, the black shirt having hid most of it. He looked at her, suddenly weak. He nearly fell she but she ran over, catching him, leading him tot he ground. "I got you...I got you.."

He gasped out. "Guess that was worse then I thought. Didn't even feel it...until now." She lifted his shirt to see the wound. Just below his rib cage, bleeding horribly. She gasped out. "Oh god...we need to get your shirt off. Something to...to...stop the bleeding.." She got his shirt off, with some help from him, bunching it up and pressing it into the wound, making blood seep out and thru her fingers. She could see he was getting paler and weaker. He was bleeding out and no amount of bandages will help. She saw he was closing his eyes. She shook him. "Hey! No...you can't sleep. You can't die.." He smiled sadly, his eyes watering over. "We all have a time princess." He winced, gasping in pain. She shook her head, tears falling from the movement, hair sticking to her sweaty face.

"I can't be without you." He reached a weak hand up to her face, wiping away tears, moving her hair. "Just know...that you...you made my life amazing..." "No! Don't do this!" She cried, holding him closer. He breathed out. "I love you..." She cried, holding him close as she could, hands tangling in his sweaty hair. "Please...don't do this...don't say goodbye...I love you...I'm going to be your wife, remember?" He just nodded weakly, a sad smile on his face. She smiled when he smiled, continuing. "And you know it wont change anything. I'l still stay up all night and forget to eat and when I have a nightmare we can watch spongebob, just like we used to." He nodded against her chest, focusing on the blue light from her reactor. he spoke, weakly. "You...really are...my light in...the dark..." She petted his hair back then his eyes started closing. She shook him. "No..don't fall asleep...No...Gage..." She shook him but he had gone limp. She shook him again. "Gage?" Her lip trembled, holding him close as she could as she sobbing into his hair. "No...no."

Suddenly she heard the familiar buzz of repulsers, looking up, she saw her dad, looking a little worn, must have been some scuffle outside the bunker. She cried. "Dad...Gage..." Tony leaned down, the face-plate going up. "Shit..I can only carry two of you." "Him! Take him!" Tony looked at Quinn. "What about you?" She swallowed. "He drove here right, I can drive his car, follow you." Tony nodded. "Alright. There should be some spare cloths in there to. Lets go." He stood up, carrying Gage who was limp in his arms, Quinn followed. Getting to the jeep and starting it, using the GPS to track her dad if he got too far ahead.

Tony flew, making sure Gage was secure. "Jay, get me Clint on the line." "Yes sir." He heard the phone ringing then Clint picked up. "Hows everything? Get Quinn?" "Yeah, Quinns alright but your brothers in bad shape." There was a pause. "How bad?" "I'm flying him to the nearest hospital. JARVIS will give you the coordinates, Get TJ and Loki and meet us at the hospital. We'l explain everything there."

"Got it." Quinn followed easily, tears steadily going down her face. His blood was over her hands and legs from where she held him. She wanted to scrub her skin off. She knew at this moment, he was dead. She felt his life force leave him, she could only hope that with getting him there fast enough they could bring him back. She wasn't sure what she would do without him.

AN: thanks for all the reviews!
