Elena closed her eyes as a sigh escaped her lips, her arms resting on the armrest of the uncomfortable plane seat. Her back was tense as her mind ran through everything she would do and say upon landing in New York. Her eyes opened momentarily, focusing on the small window on her left side, watching the clouds around her.

༻﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡༺

Matt repeatedly banged his fist on the front door of Elena's grandparents' house, impatiently waiting while his brothers stood behind him, trying to keep him calm.

"You'll end up breaking down the door like that." Nick commented, tapping his right foot anxiously against the floor, also yearning for the resolution of the massive problem created by "simple" feelings.

"Shut up." Matt replied gruffly, straightening up in seconds as the sound of keys against the inside door lock sounded.

The door was finally opened and Elena's grandmother stood behind her, a dish towel over her right shoulder as a confused expression took over her face.

"Matt? Boys? Did something happen?" She asked, her eyes traveling over the boys.

"Hi grandma, is Lena here? I really need to talk to her." Matt asked, his fingers playing with the hem of his shirt anxiously.

His heart seemed to freeze when a look of realization took over the older woman's eyes and she shook her head.

"Elena's already left, Matt. I'm sorry."

"She left? Like, is she on her way to New York right now?" The brunette asked, his eyes burning with tears that wanted to fall as his heart sank.

"Yes, my dear, she left almost an hour ago. Didn't she say goodbye to you?" The older one asked, looking at Nick and Chris briefly.

"No grandma, I don't know-" Nick started, but was cut off by Matt turning abruptly and running back to the sidewalk, heading to his parents' car in quick steps, his fingers searching for the control to quickly unlock the doors. "Matt!"

"I need to go after her. Is anyone coming with me?" Matt spoke loudly, finally unlocking the car and getting into the driver's seat.

His brothers looked at Elena's grandmother with an apologetic look before running towards the car, quickly getting in when Matt hit the horn, speeding them up.

Chris had barely closed the passenger seat door when Matt took off with the car, stepping on the accelerator and making sharp turns like he'd never done before, his eyes glued to the street in front of him paying maximum attention to where he was going and focused on getting to the airport in half the time the GPS showed.

"If you continue like this we're going to get there dead!" Nick screamed from the back seat, his hands gripping the back of the front seats as if his life depended on it.

Matt ignored him, stepping on the gas harder.

It didn't take long and the car finally stopped in front of the first main entrance to the airport, Matt turned the key, turning off the car and ripping off his seat belt, jumping out of the car and closing the door, starting to run into the airport.

"I've never seen him like that." Chris commented, taking off his own seat belt as he tried to calm his racing heart from the speed Matt made the car go.

"He's been madly in love with Elena for years Chris, I'm not surprised he's going crazy about it all." Nick replied, getting out of the car and waiting for Chris to close the passenger door, before they started walking towards the airport at a quick pace.

The two stopped after crossing the entrance, looking for their brother with their eyes and finding him in front of the ticket counter of the airline that flew from Boston to New York, looking at each other in confusion before walking towards Matt.

"Please, I just need a ticket for the nearest flight to New York." Matt asked in an almost desperate tone, his hands resting on the counter as he looked at the attendant.

"Calm down sir, I'm checking available times." The woman asked in a harsh tone, her hands working on the mouse and keyboard of the computer in front of her.

Nick, upon hearing his brother's request and the attendant's response, placed his hands firmly on Matt's shoulders, trying to calm him down before the woman called security.

"What the hell are you doing?" Chris asked, stopping next to the brunette with a surprised look.

"I'm going to New York." He responded quickly without looking away from the attendant, as if if he did so, she would disappear.

"Matt, are you crazy? Why-" Chris stopped mid-sentence at the pointed look Nick gave him, raising his arms in surrender. "Do what you think is best." He sighed, crossing his arms and turning his back to Matt, his eyes scanning the people hurriedly walking through the airport.

"I have a ticket available for the chair next to the emergency exit in 10 minutes, sir." The attendant looked up.

"You can select it for me." Matt asked quickly, taking out his wallet and handing over his identity documents and credit card, ready to pay for the ticket regardless of the amount.

A few minutes later the purchase was complete and Matt turned around, sighing heavily and looking briefly at his brothers before shrugging.

"It's my last chance, I need to take a chance and see what happens." He muttered in a low voice, earning looks of pity from his brothers.

"It's okay Matt, we understand." Nick spoke, quickly stroking his shoulder with his right hand.

"Let's get to the right gate before you miss your flight." Chris spoke, taking Matt's left arm and pulling him, starting to walk towards the gate informed by the attendant.

"Do you have your charger with you? Because you'll only go with your phone and wallet, right?" Nick asked a few seconds later, breaking the silence.

"Yes, I'll leave the car keys with Chris since he knows how to drive better and you can go home. Mom knows what I wanted to do if Elena wasn't here anymore, so there's no need to explain anything to her." Matt replied, keeping his eyes in front of him.

"Alright, if anything happens you can call us and we'll come to you as quickly as possible." Chris replied, taking the keys that Matt was holding tightly, putting them in his pocket and stopping walking when the three stopped in front of the respective gates.

Matt looked up and glanced at his brothers briefly, who offered him encouraging smiles.

"Go get your girl, Matt." Nick spoke with a smile on his face, making Matt let out a laugh, adrenaline coursing through his veins. Chris followed his laughter, slapping his shoulder with his right hand momentarily.

"It'll go alright." He encouraged, pushing Matt back slightly. The boy nodded and turned around, walking quickly towards the boarding counter when the flight announcement was made on the speaker.

Matt spent the flight looking at the back of the seat in front of him, with no window next to him and no head to watch anything on the mini television in front of him. His body was tense and his legs were swinging anxiously, time seemed to pass slower than ever.

Finally, an hour and a half later, the male voice on the loudspeaker announced that the landing would happen soon. Matt straightened up on the seat and picked up his phone, sending a quick text to his group with his brothers, notifying them of his arrival, knowing that it would be sent as soon as the internet signal reached his phone again, putting the device in his pocket again.

Matt sighed in relief when the flight was over, taking off his seatbelt and quickly crossing the plane's aisle, apologizing for the people he was bumping into along the way.

When the boy finally entered the airport again, his blue eyes traveled over the crowd of people there, now what?

༻﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡༺

Elena stood outside the apartment she'd lived in for the past few years in New York, her face wet with tears of relief or tension, she couldn't exactly tell the difference. Her back was against the closed door behind her, listening to Jeremy pacing back and forth inside the apartment while her hands tightly gripped the handles of two of the three suitcases she had packed.

Jeremy didn't take the news of the breakup very well, it was everything he least expected and his emotional dependence on Elena seemed to swallow him momentarily during the conversation, turning it into an argument. He cursed the girl and her grandparents and hometown, judging her for returning there, as if if she hadn't done so, it would never have happened.

The "conversation" took about 40 minutes and was a complete rollercoaster, but in the end it was agreed that the engagement would actually be ended and that both would go their own way, as Jeremy didn't want to "ever look Elena in the face again", his words. Elena took another 30 minutes to pack her bags, picking up her main belongings and promising to pick up the rest over the next few days.

The apartment, which was purchased by the two together, would be sold and the value divided between the two.

The girl tried to control her breathing while her mind was in turmoil, she felt relief for having put an end on something she didn't want to, but she felt enormous guilt for hurting Jeremy.

She took a deep breath, trying to hold back the tears that escaped her eyes, picking up her suitcase one at a time and taking them to the elevator. After a lot of effort, the girl managed to take all three suitcases to the building's garage and put them in the trunk of her car, closing the back door and getting into the driver's seat.

Her hands held the steering wheel for a few minutes while she thought about what she would do now.

The decision was made to go to her favorite coffee shop, which was also a bookstore, and have a coffee alone while thinking about her next steps, her mind divided between renting an apartment momentarily or returning to her parents' house until she finished college.

She knew that a normal person at that moment would probably seek refuge with someone trustworthy and that they could take shelter, but she had no one there, her parents were working and would only return home at night, and she no longer had a spare key, having left it behind with her parents when she moved away.

The girl started the car, wiping her face with her hands and thanking herself for choosing not to wear makeup that day, momentarily glancing at her appearance in the rearview mirror.

After a few minutes the car finally stopped in front of the bookstore, Elena took a deep breath before getting out of the vehicle, closing the door and locking it, before walking to the cafe.

The sound of the bell echoed through the small space and the smell of coffee and book pages hit the girl's nose, calming her instantly. She walked to the furthest table, sitting on the wooden chair and momentarily looking at the chair in front of her, wishing that a certain someone was there with her.

The sound of footsteps caught her attention and Elena raised her face, smiling small at the attendant before ordering just a coffee, thanking the waitress before looking down at the table again.

The girl felt her phone vibrate in her sweatshirt pocket, her right hand fishing for the device and analyzing the screen.

"Matt?" Elena answered the call, putting the phone to her ear, her eyebrows furrowed as she heard the rapid breathing on the other end and the sounds of horns and cars in the background.

"Elena, where are you? I went to your apartment and the doorman said you had just left." The boy spoke quickly on the other side, his breathless voice sounding like he had been running for long minutes.

"Wait, you're in New York? Matt, what's going on?" The girl asked, her eyes traveling around the cafeteria space as if she expected him to appear there out of nowhere.

"Elena, please." He pleaded with his voice, and Elena sighed, closing her eyes momentarily.

"Book Cafe." The girl replied, her free hand playing with the menu anxiously, her mind wondering if this was some kind of prank.

The line went dead and Elena took the phone away from her ear with a confused expression, scoffing when she saw that Matt hung up, her hands were working on opening the messaging app and entering the chat with the boy, starting to write a text, but her attention was taken by the sound of the bell echoing through the space again.

Elena looked toward the door, her cell slipping out of her hands and landing on the wooden table as her eyes met those blue ones she loved so much.

Matt seemed to freeze in the doorway, his feet locked to the floor as his eyes looked back at Elena, noting her tired and tense state.

"Matt." Elena called, getting up from her chair slowly, turning to face him, choosing to wait for him to catch up when she saw him start to move.

"Elena." He responded, quickly approaching her and standing in front of her.

"What are you doing here?" She asked exasperatedly, running her eyes over the boy's condition, his messy hair and rumpled clothes, probably from the flight and how much he seemed to have ran around the city.

"I know you asked me not to come after you, but I don't like being contradicted. I needed to try Lena, just one more time." Matt spoke, his eyes showing all the emotions he felt at that moment, anguish, love, fear and tension.

"Oh Matt." The girl sighed, pulling him into a tight hug, her eyes burning with the tears that had already fallen and that wanted to fall again as her chest filled with love and gratitude.

"I'll always come to you, Lena." He murmured against the top of the girl's head. "Come on, let's sit down." Matt asked in a low tone, helping her sit in the chair she was previously in, before dragging the other chair to the side of the table, sitting next to Elena. "I know you have Jeremy and that you are going to get married, but I love you so much and at the amusement park everything was so much, I needed to look at you just one more time, really look into your eyes and tell you how much I love you and I want you in my life forever." Matt whispered, feeling more words wanting to leave his lips, but holding them back, he didn't want to act on the emotion more than he already did.

"I broke up with Jeremy, Matt." Elena said, looking at him with a firm look, smiling small when she saw the surprise flash through the brunette's eyes. "I ended my engagement with him because he wasn't you." She spoke, feeling her heart warm as an expression of pure shock and love took over Matt's face, his blue-eyed pupil instantly dilating and a smile stretching across his cheeks, his right hand reaching out and taking her left hand, interlacing their fingers.

"Elena, be mine. I've loved you since before I understood the meaning of love, in the most anxious and calm way I've ever loved. I want you with me for who you are and who you make me want to be." Matt whispered the words of love and declaration, creating an intimate atmosphere around them.

"I've been yours for a long time, Matt." Elena responded with a wide smile, leaning to the right and getting closer to Matt, calmly approaching the brunette's face and finally pressing her lips against his, initiating a calm kiss with just the movement of lips, with no tongue involved, the desire of both being just to enjoy each other's warmth.

After a few seconds Elena slowly pulled away, a happy sigh escaping her lips before her eyes opened carefully, the fear to open them and find out that everything was just a dream coursing through her veins, but Matt's hands against her face and his warm breath close to her lips was too real to be a lie.

"I ordered a coffee, have something with me." The girl asked with a smile, her hand lightly squeezing Matt's who still held hers.

The bubble around the two seemed to burst when the sound of footsteps and the smell of coffee approached, the attendant placing the cup of coffee ordered by the girl on the table and taking out her notepad, turning to Matt.

"Can I get you something, sir?"

"Yes, please."

They say sometimes things happen for a reason. No one knew why this one thing happened except for 3 people. It happened three months ago.

Yelena had just arrived back at the police station after catching a suspect with her partner Kate. Kate was dragging the suspect in as Yelena followed behind the two. The two had caught the man selling drugs to a bunch of young kids in an alleyway. The man had been drunk out of his mind and kept asking the kids if they wanted drugs to make them feel better and the kids kept refusing. Kate was the one who tackled him to the ground as Yelena made sure the kids had gotten back to their parents. "I can't believe I caught my first drug dealer this is so exciting" Kate said causing Yelena to snap out of her thoughts. "I wouldn't call it exciting per-say but say whatever you want" Yelena said as she shoved her hands into her black police uniform pants. She couldn't wait until she got off duty to go home and see her wife Y/N.

Kate put the man in one of the interrogation rooms before shutting the door. She looked up at see Yelena deep in thought again making her smile. "Yelena" Kate said snapping her fingers in front of Yelenas face causing Yelena to snap out of it again. "What did you say something" Yelena said and Kate smirked. "Thinking of your wife" Kate teased and Yelena rolled her eyes. "Let just go file this report it's already getting late" Yelena said before she walked off. Kate quickly followed behind Yelena. The two made their way to the chiefs office before knocking. "Come in" the chief said and Kate opened the door. "Oh Yelena Kate did you guys just come back" Chief Fury said and Kate nodded her head as Yelena stayed quiet. Something was definitely off with her this whole time. Kate walked over and handed the report over before looking over to see Yelena zoned out again causing Chief Fury to look over as well. "Yelena are you alright" Chief Fury says and Yelena snaps out of it. "Um sorry Nick but I'm just worried about something, Y/N hasn't sent or called me yet and she usually does around this time" Yelena said and Kate frowned as Fury leaned back against his chair. "Go home" Fury said and Yelena looked over at Fury before frowning. "A-ate you sure" Yelena said and Fury stood up before walking over. "Yes now go make sure your wife is okay" Fury said and Yelena nodded before rushing out of the office.

Yelena rushed out of the police station before heading to her Black Chrysler 300c. She unlocked the car and opened the door before getting in and slamming the door shut. She turned her car on before driving out of the police station parking lot and speeding down the road moving through cars. She drove through a couple of red lights as well but she didn't care she wanted to make sure her wife was safe. She parked in her driveway and turned the car off before getting out and slamming the door shut. As she looked up she saw that there were no lights on making her confused. She pulled her gun out and made her way to the front door before grabbing her keys. She just shook her head before twisting the knob realizing it was already unlocked making her heart pick up. She opened the door and walked in and started looking around the house. She walked up the stairs rapidly before going straight to the bedroom. She slammed the door open and raised her gun but immediately drops it when she sees her wife Y/N laying on the grey carpet in a pool of her own blood. Yelena rushed over and kneeled down before looking over Y/N to see that she was stabbed multiple times maybe 5 but Yelena wasn't sure. She also saw blood on Y/N's face from being beaten up. She grabs Y/N's arm and puts her fingers up to Y/N's wrist to feel a faint pulse. She feels Y/N move slightly and looks up to see Y/N trying to open her eyes. "Detka don't move your hurt" Yelena days before she calls backup. Yelena looked down and stroked her hand through Y/N's hair that had blood in it. "We'll get you to the hospital and I'll find out whoever did this to you and kill them for hurting you" Yelena muttered out and she grabbed Y/N's hand squeezing it slightly as she waits for the ambulance and other police officers arrive.

Y/N was rushed into the hospital on a stretcher as Natasha rushed over to her sister. "Yelena what the hell happened" Natasha asked as the two rushed into the hospital behind Y/N's stretcher and the other doctors. "I- I don't know I came home and found her laying on the floor in a pool of her blood. I knew something was off when she didn't call or message like usual but I didn't expect it to be this" Yelena said as her hands began to shake. Natasha stopped Yelena in the lobby and grabbed her hands squeezing tightly. "Hey look at me" Natasha said and Yelena looked up at Natasha who was slightly taller than her. "We'll do everything we can to help her and keep her alive" Natasha said and Yelena tries not to break down right there in the main lobby. "Come on I'll take you to an empty hospital room and you can wait in there okay" Natasha said but Yelena shook her head no. "I- I have to find out who did this to her " Yelena said and before Natasha could say anything else Yelena was already out of the hospital causing Natasha to sigh. "Dr. Romanoff we're gonna need your hands for this the wounds are pretty deep and there might be knife shards in them" a nurse said walking up to Natasha who looked at the sliding glass doors before turning around. "Alright let's go" Natasha said as the two rush down the halls.

Yelena had taken one of the police cars and drove out of the hospital parking lot before making her way back to the house to see if there was an evidence that was still there. She pulled up to the driveway and got out of the police car before walking over and ducking under the caution tape that was circling the whole house. She made her way up through the grass and up the porch before taking out her keys and unlocking the door. She walked in before shutting it behind her. She started looking around the whole house until making her way to the bedroom. She ripped the caution tape off that was in front of the door before opening it and walking into the bedroom. She looked around before dropping onto the ground when she sees something shine from under the bed. She grabs something to keep her fingerprints off of it before pulling it out to realize it was a gold tungsten ring that was probably more than her house since there were a couple diamonds on it. She got up before looking at it more closely to see a diamond was missing. She checked the rest of the bedroom before stopping as she looked at the blood stained grey carpet. She walked out of the room quickly before making her way out of the bedroom and then the house. Yelena made it to the police car before getting in and putting the ring in a plastic bag.

She drove back to the police station and made her way in to see no lights were on meaning everyone went home but still had their walkie talkies on. Yelena made her way through the police station before stopping at a door. She unlocked it and walked in before shutting the door behind her. She turned the lights up slightly before making her way over to a table with different equipment. She put gloves on before opening the plastic bag and took the ring out.

After getting the finger prints from the ring she took the gloves off and stood up. She dropped the gloves in the trash before going over to the computer that was in the lab and looked at the fingerprints before looking at who they belonged to. Her breath stopped for a couple seconds as she looked at who it was. The Fingerprints belonged to none other than Baron Zemo. He was one of the worst criminals in the state and the police have been trying to track him down for years. Yelena shook her thoughts away before she started looking into the satellites to try and track him down. After a couple minutes she found him in a bar just outside of New York. She grabbed the ring not even caring if there were fingerprints on it now because she was going to end this before anyone else gets hurt like her wife did. She made her way out of the police station quickly before getting into the police car and heading back home to change into regular clothes. She had put on her leather jacket and her combat boots along with a forest green shirt and ripped black jeans. She had put her hair in a four-part round and fishtail braid. She tucked her gun in the back of her pants before tucking a small knife into her right combat boots. She made her way out of the house and then to her dark grey Chrysler 300. She got in before backing out of the driveway as she gripped the tungsten ring in her right hand as she had her left hand on the steering wheel gripping it as her knuckles turned white.

She made her way to the bar before getting out of her car and slamming the door shut before making her way into the bar. She looked around before walking up to the bar. "Hey excuse me but where is this man at" Yelenas said and the bartender turned around. "Uh he's in one of the private rooms downstairs" the bartender said and Yelena thanked him before walking towards the back and then down some stairs. "Hey hey wait you can't go down there" the bartender said but yelenas stopped and took out her badge and the bartender apologized before going back to the bar. Yelena made her way through the hall downstairs before stopping at the only one that was locked. She broke the handle off of it before slamming the door open causing the women that were in their to scream and stop what they were doing. Her eyes immediately land on Zemo and she pulled her gun out point it at him. "Get out" Yelenas said and the girls ran out as Zemo rolled his eyes before leaning back against his chair. "Get up" Yelena seethed out and Zemo raised an eyebrow. "If you want your stupid ring back I suggest you stand up" Yelenas said causing Zemo's eyes to widen in shock before they narrowed as he looked down at his left hand to see his ring is missing. He looked up to see Yelena holding his ring in between her pointer finger and thumb. "Where the hell did you get that" Zemo said as he reached for his gun that was on the table but Yelena glared at him as she shot the spot next to the gun causing Zemo to yank his hand back. "Don't even think about it" Yelena spat out before she walked up to him and knocked him out.

Zemo woke up in a warehouse and looked around. He tried to get up but something stopped him causing him to look down to see rope wrapped around his torso and upper arms as his hands were tied behind a chair and his ankles tied to the front legs of the wooden chair. He tried to get out again as he shouted out causing it to echo through the large warehouse. "Enough yelling it's echoes in here" Yelenas spoke out before stepping into the light. Zemo glared up at her as he clenched his jaw.

"Aren't police Officer supposed to save people from kidnappers instead of kidnapping" Zemo said and Yelenas chuckled as she took her knife out. "Well if you took something dear to them they'd do anything to get revenge" Yelenas said as she stopped in front of Zemo before grabbing his jaw. Yelena placed the knife against the side of Zemo's mouth before she stopped for a moment. She pulled away quickly as she clenched her jaw. Before Yelena could speak her phone started ringing making her shove Zemo's face to the side before pulling away. She took her phone out and answered it. "What do you want Kate I'm in the middle of something" Yelenas said as she continued to stare at Zemo before pocketing her knife. "I'm busy right now Kate" Yelenas says before she hung up and pocketed her phone before her gaze looked back at Zemo. "Now where were we" Yelena said as she stalked towards Zemo again and pulling out her gun before lifting his chin up with the barrel of the gun. "You hurt my wife and you're gonna pay for it" Yelena seethed out as her eyes narrowed. "You're wife" Zemo said and Yelena clenched her jaw. "The one that you stabbed over 5 times and beaten up" Yelena says as she remembers finding Y/N in their bedroom on the floor bleeding out. "Oh her yeah she did put up a good fight. How is she" Zemo asks and Yelena punches him in the face causing him to gasp out before his nose started bleeding immediately.  Yelena steps back and takes her gun out before pointing it at him. "You hurt my wife so I'm getting revenge I don't care if people find out, I'll do anything to protect what I love most" Yelenas says before her finger pulls the trigger causing the gun shots to echo through the warehouse as it lodges through Zemo's head, chest and stomach.

As Yelenas looked at Zemo there was a loud gasp behind her causing her to turn around to see Kate standing there. "Kate what are you doing here" Yelena shouted and Kate looked at Zemo who was dead now with a bullet hole in his head. "Yelena" Kate said as she slowly made her way towards Yelena who just stood there looking at Kate. Kate put her hand on Yelenas shoulder as she took the gun from Yelenas hand. Yelena snaps out of it and she opens her mouth to speak but Kate shakes her head no. "If I cover for you you have to promise me you'll do something for me in return" Kate says and Yelena's eyes widened in shock. "Wait you're not gonna turn me in" Yelenas says and Kate shakes her head no. "I would have done the exact same thing if I was in this position Yelena" Kate said and Yelena sighed before nodding her head.

Four other police officers had arrived at the scene a couple minutes later after Kate and Yelena. An ambulance had also arrived and bagged the body before carrying  it out of the warehouse as Yelena was sitting down on the wooden chair breathing heavily. The chief walked over and put his hand on Yelena's shoulder. "Tell me what happened" Chief Fury said and Yelenas was about to speak but Kate spoke up first. "When I arrived I heard three gun shots going off and I thought that man shot Yelena but Yelenas was the one who shot him in self defense after being punched and kicked in the chest and stomach repeatedly after being kidnapped" Kate says and Yelena looks up at Kate with a thankful smile. "Oh well if it was in self defense then I will not put charges against you or arrest you for protecting yourself officer" Chief Fury said as he patted Yelena's shoulder before walking out of the warehouse with the other officers leaving Kate and Yelenas behind. "Thank you Kate you didn't have to get caught up in this" Yelena said as she stood up and Kate rolled her eyes. "Go see your wife now" Kate said and Yelena was opened her mouth but Kate cut her off. "This is what I want for you to do in return now go" Kate said and Yelena hugged Kate before rushing off and getting in her Chrysler 300.

She arrived at the hospital and Natasha was already waiting for herin the lobby. "How is she" Yelena asked and Natasha smiles. "She's doing just as fine as she was a couple minutes ago when you called me telling me you were on your way here" Natasha said and Yelenas smiled back. "Come on she's sleeping right now but you can wait in the hospital room she's in until she wakes up" Natasha says and Yelena follows her older sister to the elevator.

Natasha opens a door to a hospital room and Yelena steps in and sees Y/N hooked up to some wires and a tube to help her breathe. She had a needle in one arm to help her get the nutrients she needed while she was sleeping and another needle in the other arm that had blood going through it to Y/N because she lost a lot of blood when she got stabbed. "When will she wake up" Yelena asks and Natasha shuts the door. "We don't know yet since she's in a deep sleep and she's lost a lot of blood so we can't tell yet" Natasha says as she watches her younger sister walk over and grab Y/N's hand. Yelena brings Y/N hand up to her lips before kissing it and squeezing it slightly. She sat down in the chair next to the bed and rested her head on the bed next to Y/N's arm. Natasha watched as Yelena fell asleep while holding Y/N's hand before smiling softly. She knew her sister would go beyond her capability to protect the ones she loved. Natasha lied about not knowing when Y/N would wake up. She knew Y/N would most likely wake up in the morning because she makes it her job to make sure people stay alive and she hasn't failed yet. "Good night Lena" Natasha said before walking out of the hospital room and closing the door behind her.

——

Mark automatically pulls down his own visor with one hand and grabs Nick’s wrist quickly with the other, pulling the half-Russian to the far side of the wall. Mark is basically putting himself between Nick and the portion of the wall nearer to Helga people. Some agents follow suit by planting their backs on the wall facing away from Helga people.

Anna and Agent Maxwell also pull down their visors quickly, but they stay put, not seeking shelter behind the wall like the rest of them. They instinctively point their guns up to start shooting.

The two sides exchange bullets for a while before Anna and Imani scurry behind the wall too. Mark is guessing those Helga bastards are also seeking cover as he doesn’t hear any shot toward the wall they’re standing behind.

“How the fuck did we forget to put our visors down?” Anna hisses. “They saw him and some of us now.”

The silence doesn’t last, of course. Someone from Helga's side yells at them.

“Give him back to us and we might consider letting some of you live!”

Nick pulls down his visor and shakes even more while inhaling deeply in fear.

“The fuck we will,” Don hisses.

As they stay quiet and do not give any response to Helga’s ‘offer’, they immediately hear another barrage of shootings. Mark can tangibly feel the machine gun ammos hitting the wall quite hard beside the loud sounds. He also hears the concrete starting to get chipped away bit by bit.

Something as strong as machine guns like Helga’s, and theirs too (although he doesn’t know if they have the same exact ones; they only had split second to see those Helga members before hiding), will eventually wear down even the strongest concrete after a while. On top of that, if they get hit on the body repeatedly once the wall gets broken down enough, their bullet-proof vests and helmets won’t do shit because they’ll be too battered.

Machine gun ammos are nothing like pistol bullets.

They can’t keep staying on the defensive like this in this spot, so Lena and Horace take turns now swiveling around the wall to shoot back.

The firings of the ammos still sound extremely loud despite their helmets’ visors being put down again and covering their heads. Nick is visibly more affected compared to the rest of them, whimpering endlessly while trying to put his hands on his ears. His mind is probably too panicked and muddled to remember that he has the bag handle around his wrist weighing his arms down, and that he has helmet on so his hands can’t touch his head regardless.

Lena and Horace step back again behind the wall.

“Fuck, what do we do? We can’t get past them,” Lena hisses urgently, “It’s too exposed and dangerous.”

Mark hears loud muffled breathing from the four of them who were just done shooting as they look at each other.

“Come oooon, you communist slut! Come with us nicely like a good boy you are… and we’re not gonna be too mean to you back in the port!”

At the disgusting sing-song voice of a different Helga member, Nick now shifts his arms to hug his own body tightly, muttering ‘no, no, no, no’. He is trembling so badly that Mark can palpably feel the shaking against his own arm that touches Nick. Mark can see those thin fingers looking pale as they squeeze his own upper arms in a death grip.

The others look at Nick, then to their right where they know that if they turn around the corner, they’ll face those Helga people again.

“We can’t let them get away either,” Horace states urgently and hurriedly as he looks back to the others, “They’re gonna tell the rest of their members that the real Bel is here.”

Mark looks at Nick, sure that the boy is crying despite not being able to see through the visor clearly. He then firmly stares at Horace.

“We gotta turn around.”

They all visibly look confused and even dumbfounded by his suggestion.

“We clearly can’t get past them here, because they’ll know he’s with us and will chase him even if we manage to get to our escape van,” Mark explains tensely, “but look,” he raises his wrist to show his watch the drags the screen to the left, seeing many pulsating dots concentrated in the center area, “if we bring them around their other members while we also mix up with our other agents, we might be able to confuse them again.”

“That’s too far, Mark!” Lena argues incredulously, “You’re just putting Bel in danger too by bringing him to the center of the battle.”

“Well, how are we going to get past them?” he retorts back, “and how are we going to keep them from snitching to the other members?”

They all immediately turn to their right again, instinctively flinching and bowing their heads down when the shooting from the other side starts. Imani and Anna swivel around to shoot back for a few seconds then return to behind the wall.

“Listen,” Mark tries again as the shooting is paused, “there are 12 of us here. Enough to protect him while we mix up in the center.”

They bow down again when the shooting starts, now with Agent Smith and Doctor Lowe attacking back. Mark doesn’t have too much time to ponder how adept the surgeon surprisingly is with his weapon before they return to their hiding position.

After that, Mark looks to his left shortly from where they came before trying to reach the back door. He then turns back to the rest of Claws.

“We can even contact Eclipse in the meantime to start being loud and making a ruckus again, so that those Helga handlers don’t know which members have the right info on Bel’s whereabouts.”

Horace tsks, conflicted and distressed. He looks back and forth between their right side where they’ll see Helga people as they turn around the corner, and their left side to go deeper into the center of the headquarter.

Unexpectedly, Doctor Lowe hisses out, “Fuck it.”

He immediately crouches-walk to their left side, basically making the choice on behalf of everybody else in Claws. They are too dumfounded and anxious to argue, so they start following the surgeon. While doing that, Doctor Lowe’s hand goes up to his shoulder to click several times on his upper vest, speaking quietly but repeatedly, “MA56 to Eclipse. Over. MA56 to Eclipse. Over.”

The physician hisses out ‘fuck’ again, clearly upset and a little bit more panicked that he can’t connect to the decoy team. Mark is sure that the surgeon and everybody else share the same concern that something might have happened to the decoy team, judging by their tense and worried body language.

Even as they crouch-walk back towards the direction they came from, they still feel and hear bullets from Helga people they faced before, seemingly starting to shoot again. It almost feels like those people know where Claws is going and are following them with their bullets.

He is unfortunately correct about that because even when they’re leaving the wall before they saw the backdoor, they feel the shots following them to their left side now.

It’s a good thing that Marcus and Agent Van Hoven are quick and well-trained enough that they can quickly pull back and push at Nick. They abruptly and effectively stop the rest of Claws—who are now behind them both—from continuing to walk. They will be going to the uncovered and unprotected area beside the wall, exposing themselves to Helga’s people’s relentless ammos, otherwise.

“We know you’re going that way, assholes! We’re not leaving until we get that bitch back!”

“Fuck,” Mark curses quietly after the yell from that Helga man.

He realizes now Claws is basically stuck behind this particular wall because those Helga members are going to shoot them anyway, whether they’re going to the right or left. It’s not helping that they might have noted how Nick is dressed and therefore can easily track him down no matter what happens.

“How do we get away now?”

The rest of Claws turn urgently to Agent Maxwell, who is now taking the rear after the turn-around. Then they look away again. They’re really all stuck here.

Helga people start shooting things again, so Mark looks towards Agent Van Hoven beside him. They both nod to each other before swiveling to the other side of the wall, now that they’re the closest to the edge this time. They start shooting back continuously until they see that Helga people are crouching again and hiding for cover.

“We need to make a break for it,” Agent Van Hoven immediately tells the rest of them with rapid breathing after he and Mark go back to hiding behind the wall, “We need to immediately go to the center now.”

Mark can tell from their body language that they don’t like the sound of that, but they dejectedly nod anyway when they realize they really have no choice. They need to confuse Helga people and get the help of other agents to protect Nick, and also to shake off Helga members from their backs who have seen Nick to make sure Nick’s delivery is safe.

“Okay, three of us—” Mark informs the rest of them while pointing at himself, Agent Van Hoven, and Don, “—will cover you all while you go there.” Mark now cocks his head to the side where there is another wall they can go to that is more closed-off. That way, they’re not exposed to Helga people anymore.

The other 8 agents nod gravely at him, and that’s all he needs to see to swivel around the wall with the other two agents. He, Agent Van Hoven, and Don are walking sideways to keep facing and shooting those Helga members, providing cover for the crouching Claws agents and Nick so that they can cross to the other side.

“Aghr,” he cries out, staggering backward slightly as he feels several bullets hitting his lower abdomen. The power of Helga’s machine gun ammos feels quite strong and painful even despite his bullet-proof vest.

He senses them pausing slightly behind him, especially Nick who is trying to stand up and touch him.

“GO!” he shouts instead, pushing them to keep moving until they’re safe on the other side.

While still walking sideways and continuing to cover the rest of Claws, he hears swearing from those Helga people, shouting at each other to fall back—accompanied by several thudding sounds of bodies hitting the ground. He doesn’t know whether they’re his bullets, Agent Van Hoven’s, or Don’s, but he feels relief and somewhat sickening satisfaction anyway knowing that some of those people are now dead.

Good. Fewer degenerate Helga members to worry about.

Once they’re close enough to the other wall they’re trying to cross, three of them follow the rest to crouch-walk behind the wall for cover. All 12 of them then continue walking further inward to the headquarter’s center, away from the Helga people they were just attacking.

It’s only now that he allows himself to feel the pain from the bullets before. He is sure that he is badly bruised under his shirt and vest, but no bleeding yet.

Which is good because there is no identifying condition or signs on his body to tell the rest of Helga's people which agent he is. Those Helga members will hopefully not be able to tell if Mark is one of Nick’s chaperone agents, so they won’t suspect the person escaping with Mark is Nick, if he has to go solo.

They start running again once safe from the group of Helga members they were in a standoff before, trying to find a roundabout way to go to the backyard again while mixing up with the other agents. They are thinking that this is going to work, but they see some Helga members again halfway through their run, although those members can’t see them.

“Listen,” Mark hears a static voice from one of the members’ radios, “we saw the kid there. We’re trying to follow him. There are two tall guys with a short woman and another woman who is black. If you see those people, the whore is with them.”

Uh oh. That’s not good. They’re snitching to this group now.

“Goddammit,” Horace growls, keeping his voice low still. He then instructs hurriedly, “Go faster! Don’t let them see us!”

Obviously, they do go faster, knowing that it’s impertinent that they mix with the other agents as quickly as possible.

But Lena suddenly pushes a hand at Nick again with Anna and Imani stopping abruptly. These new people happen to be turning in their direction. If Claws walked too fast and didn’t stop in time, those men would have seen them.

“You sure this lot are the ones who have our kid? We can’t see them yet,” Mark hears one of the men says to the HT he puts close to his mouth.

“Yes, I think there is also an old fat guy with a rifle attacking us before,” a person on the other side of the radio says to the Helga person using the HT, “and another really muscular guy, but not too tall.”

The static familiar voice belongs unmistakably to the man they were attacking before. Mark is guessing that man is talking about Doctor Lowe and Don respectively.

“That ain’t shit,” one man of the new enemy group spits out almost irritably, “There are other tall muscular guys and some fat ones too we saw before. These elite SWAT guys are all wearing similar clothes. We can’t tell them apart.”

Mark can palpably feel Nick sagging beside him in relief, as do the others who also sigh in relief surreptitiously.

Trying to mix up with the other agents and using the decoy team still seem to be viable options right now.

“That whore isn’t. He is wearing a deep red jacket under his vest. I saw the hood on his upper back. You can’t miss him.”

Oh shit. That’s bad. They recognize Nick specifically.

Beside him, Nick whimpers weakly, whispering ‘Oh god’.

“You need to get the rest of those pieces of shit too. They got 4 of our guys here.”

That’s really not good. They’re going to be vengeful and out for blood now.

Lena turns to lean back against the wall, breathing deeply and audibly anxious.

“We need to create distraction,” they say to the rest.

Lena waits for a while, but no one responds. They end up tsking in annoyance and frustration.

“Listen,” they start again, “See that?”

Mark and the rest of Claws look towards where Lena is pointing with their chin nod.

“Probably only few dozen meters away from the middle of this headquarter. We can all hear them, right?”

They all visibly strain their ears at Lena’s words.

Even covered by several layers of walls, they do hear other agents shooting, shouting, and running around. Mark also hears the crackling of his earpiece with so many agents trying to communicate one after another, audio relentless.

He is sure the rest of the people with him right now also hear them.

Once in a while, they also hear a booming and some screams, knowing that some explosive traps have been set off.

“You all need to keep forward there with Bel, while me and Don will go right there to the back again.”

Lena now cocks their head to the left where the unassuming Helga people are standing. Don immediately spins his head to the left almost in shock.

“What?!” he asks incredulously.

“We’re supposed to guard the backyard anyway. Might as well distract these men by going there together.”

Don, despite his head still covered by his helmet, visibly appears confused and conflicted.

Lena decides to take matters into their own hands.

They reach out a hand before the rest of Claws can process it, taking a block of chipped concrete and holding it tightly. Without warning, they throw it powerfully to the side so that it flies far out away from where they’re all hiding.

“Shit, those SWAT guys are here!”

They hear people from Helga now cocking their guns and running to where the concrete block landed.

“Come on!” Lena rushes Don.

Don falters a bit, but he finally relents and crouches to the left to follow Lena.

“Listen, you’re Bel. Remember that,” Lena says to Nick while pausing shortly with a palm firmly on his shoulder.

Nikolai frantically nods, so Lena crouch-runs again, followed by Don.

Just like with team Eclipse, Lena yells out, “Nick, come on!”  although more strained and whispery, probably to make it believable that they’re really trying to secretly run with Nick.

“I hear them! There!”

The team waits for a bit until they hear shootings, presumably from both Don and Lena versus those Helga members. Mark can only hope they’re careful enough not to get hit or injured.

After that, team Claws crouch-run deeper into the middle of the headquarter.

They keep looking down to their watches once in a while, following the structure of the building with its many zigzagging walls, basically retracing their steps before they got ambushed by the first Helga group they faced previously.

Mark hears clanging of bullets hitting some concrete and metals, and he sees the people in front of him ducking even deeper with hands over their heads. Once in a while, they abruptly pause and plant their backs on a wall—noticing some Helga people near them—so that they don’t get caught. Sometimes, they have no choice but to show themselves and return the bullets.

Mark gets grazed slightly, and so do several agents in Claws, but Nick is still unscathed. Even so, their injuries can be noted, and the more they’re injured, the less effective they are in protecting Nick.

Along the route they are using, they get more and more mixed up with the other agents outside of Claws, just as they planned before, and they hiss some short information quietly to each other while they pass those agents. Some Helga people see them, and Mark notices with heart pumping even harder and faster that there are way more Helga people than they anticipated.

Before Claws started running to the backyard for their escape vehicle, the briefing agents did say that there are more Helga people coming in than what they predicted, but Mark didn’t think it’s this numerous. He tries to hold on to the fact that the chaos does seem to successfully confuse Helga people, apparent from those members they occasionally pass by and attack.

Until a group calls out, “That’s the kid! Red jumper!”

Imani pulls Nick’s wrist to drag him away, crouching fast to hide behind some desks turned over to their sides. The rest of Claws follow suit.

“I just fucking saw the kid there before! Where did they go?” they hear again from different man this time.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” Doctor Lowe hisses out.

Fuck, indeed, Mark thinks.

Even if they manage to hide at the last second, he knows it’s only time before they’re discovered again.

He has no doubt now that many—if not all—Helga people know what Nick is wearing, and there is no way their plan to mix up is going to work as well anymore.

Or at all.

“What do we do?” Agent Leonard says now.

Horace slightly looks over the desk only to duck quickly as he narrowly misses a bullet shot in their way. Mark doesn’t know whether that bullet is shot by a D.E.A.N agent, or Helga person. Whether it’s a stray bullet that just happens to be shot this way, or if it’s intentionally directed here.

Horace tsks and pulls up his visor, and some follow suit. It seems that the claustrophobic space inside the helmet is making them all more panicked and not think straight.

“There is no other way now. We have to run to the back again to get to the van. We don’t have time to go round and round,” Horace says firmly to them all. “We need to get to the backup as soon as possible. Otherwise, Bel is gonna get stuck here.”

“They saw us! They know that Bel is here!”

“Yes, Doctor, but we’re already in the middle of this headquarter and we’ve mixed up again, but clearly they know which one is Bel, so it doesn’t mean shit,” Horace explains.

They all look towards each other again then at Nick who is audibly breathing and trembling even harder while gripping the medical bag so tight. He is currently keeping quiet under his closed visor, at least.

On the other side, they hear more yelling of Helga people informing their own lot about the possible whereabouts of Nick. The voices, shootings, and hitting sounds get closer and closer to where they’re hiding, as shown by their watches too with brown pulsating dots approaching their spot.

“Give me your jacket,” Robert suddenly says to Nick with an arm put out.

The others, including Nick, look at him in puzzlement.

“Give me your jacket,” he repeats more firmly, “I need to distract them so that you can go.”

“What? How?” Agent Maxwell asks, still as confused as the rest of them.

“I can pretend to be him and go with some of you to be the new decoy team.”

He can see understanding and agreement dawning on the faces around him.

“No,” Nick says firmly while slamming up his visor, now aware of what Agent Van Hoven is planning. Nick looks furious.

“Bel… that might work. We can safely deliver you to the backup team that way,” Mark now responds, more comfortable and at ease now with calling Nick something else.

“No, absolutely not. I’m not about to throw someone under the bus,” Nick states again, even more adamant. “If I’m gonna go, I’m going together with all of you.”

"Look, they already saw you. They know what clothes you're wearing," Agent Van Hoven continues hurriedly. "We can't use the original decoy plan to just send random agents to a vehicle and drive away. Helga guys aren't gonna take the bait."

Robert peeks over the desk for a bit.

“God knows where Eclipse even is at this point.”

Nick has a petulant face. He is not budging.

"I'm the only one here with body shape similar enough to become your decoy. No one else is. Right now, we need to distract them so you can get out of here," Robert tells him again, probably hoping that technical explanation will sway Nick.

Robert's head turns around a bit to see behind him again. They're still not spotted yet, but the clash is getting closer.

"But they're gonna kill you if they find out you’re false me!" Nick hisses to be quiet, although his face looks somewhat angry and aghast by the idea.

"We can take care of ourselves, all right?" Robert tries to encourage him again.

"I made that server to save my own ass and that got a lot more people hurt," Nick argues again with a determined voice, "I'm not gonna sacrifice someone else to save myself again."

Some agents—like 1082's commanding officer Agent Imani Maxwell, Doctor Lowe, and Agent Barbara Smith from 1023—hiss in frustration, while Anna massages the bridge of her nose, whispering "god fucking dammit". Angie, Horace, and Agent Harry Leonard message their temples instead. Even Mark feels irritated and impatient by Nick's idealist steadfastness while in a dire and time-sensitive moment like this.

Unexpectedly, Robert's face softens, and he talks gently.

"Listen, bud."

His expression is without a trace of the impersonal professionalism that he had before, which the other agents still sport on their own faces. Robert doesn’t seem to prefer the same approach of being forceful and unfeeling towards Nick.

"We all signed up for this. We were given an offer to join D.E.A.N, and we took it. We're trained and paid for this."

He chuckles softly then.

"And by god, we're paid a shit load of money."

Robert's dark eyes search for Nick's heterochromatic ones, serious again.

"But you didn't. You never signed up for any of this. Not even creating that server. Did you?"

Nick still seems unsure and reluctant.

"If you need to know," Robert now has one hand on Nick's shoulder with an earnest look, "this is legit the first time in my D.E.A.N career—no, in my life—that I feel like I'm doing something useful and meaningful. Something bigger than myself."

Even with the chaos of screaming and shooting and all kinds of ruckus in the background, Mark doesn't expect to feel the same softness displayed by 1034's deputy's face, and the same hope that all of his training—his informal training with Jackson his whole life, and then his formal ones with D.E.A.N—will bear fruit. That he is doing something right, for once.

"You're the key to bringing down Helga, doesn't matter with D.E.A.N or whoever else. You want that, right?" Robert asks with conviction on his face now, "destroying Helga so no one is getting hurt by them again and they can be held accountable?"

After a while, Nick gives the smallest nod, almost imperceptible to Mark.

"You're more important than any individual agent here," Robert continues, "than me."

He waits a little until Nick looks more receptive to his sentiment and words.

"So give me your jacket, and let us do our job, okay?"

They all wait with bated breaths for a while, seeing whether or not Nick is going to be convinced, so they can't help sighing deeply in relief when Nick starts to take off his helmet, unzips his bullet-proof vest, and pulls up his jacket. He hands it to Agent Van Hoven before putting on his vest and zipping it up again while putting on his helmet.

Everyone here is already wearing similar fitted cargo pants, so that's not a concern.

"Good," the 1034's deputy says again, his professionalism back on his face.

The light-brunet haired man immediately lifts his rifle strap from his shoulder and puts it down. He then takes off his helmet too before unzipping and shedding his own vest to quickly pull Nick's jacket over his head and his body. Right after, he wears his helmet and his vest properly again, then he pulls the hood of the jacket completely out from under the vest to make sure it is visible from afar.

"This is gonna hide my light hair so they will believe I'm you," Agent Van Hoven now explains while pointing at the helmet covering his head.

“Who’s coming with me?”

Agent Maxwell crouches just ever so slightly to Agent Van Hoven, as does Horace and Agent Maxwell’s own deputy.

Angie is about to join, but Horace pushes his hand on her shoulder.

“You’re our best driver and paramedic. You need to go with him.”

Angie then nods and crouches closer to Nick instead.

“As planned before, Doctor Lowe will go with Bel no matter what,” now 1082’s commanding officer is the one instructing, “for medical protection and…” she looks slightly at the rifle slung over the surgeon’s shoulder, “… other forms of protection.”

She then turns to Horace and Anna.

“And at least either 1056’s commanding officer or the deputy too. So that will be you, Agent Basset.”

Anna nods too and follows Angie.

All of them turn to Mark without saying anything. They know automatically that he won’t leave Nick even if he is dragged kicking and screaming.

So Agent Smith crouches to Robert instead.

Since Robert's rifle is already taken off when he was wearing Nick's jacket, he now shoves it towards the dark-skinned woman.

"Imani, hold this for me. Those bastards aren’t gonna be convinced if I'm suddenly good at shooting them," he explains again to 1082's commanding officer.

She simply nods, but Nick doesn't seem to like the idea.

"How are you gonna protect yourself?!" he cries out quite loudly, earning a glare from the rest of them.

"Don't worry about it. They’re not gonna injure me as long as they’re still convinced I am you,” Robert says hurriedly, pulling out the sleeves and the hem of the jacket too, making it even more of an obvious metaphorical beacon. “Besides, Agent Maxwell, Agent Leonard, and Agent Smith are more than enough to make up for my skill. As I’m sure Agent Fernandez is too."

Agent Van Hoven turns to Nick shortly to lightly say with a wink, "And I'm pretty crafty, believe me."

Nick still looks disapproving, but the deputy pulls down the visor of his helmet, effectively cutting short the conversation.

"Pull down your own now and go."

Agent Van Hoven instructs with muffled voice to several of the agents who have their visors up. They all follow Robert’s command, then lift themselves to half-crouch. The team for second decoy is turning to the left where they’ll leave the safety of the desks’ cover and out into the open, now preparing to commence their plan and basically jump into the headquarter’s battle area, while Nick's chaperone team turns the other way.

Unexpectedly, Robert turns around again and holds Nick's shoulder quickly.

"I'm really sorry about this," he says with regretful voice.

Before anyone can process it, he turns around again, saying "Come on" to the rest of the second decoy team. It's not until that team is far enough into the actual battle area that the chaperone team realizes what Robert means.

As the chaperone team starts to crouch away slowly, Mark sees Agent Van Hoven's right arm going to his front to pull out a rectangular device, which he assumes is from 1034’s deputy’s front pocket under his vest and Nick’s jacket. Mark doesn’t think he saw the deputy holding it before.

He then sees Robert raising his arm as high as possible, and suddenly, there is a recording of Nick's voice being played really loudly for several loops before he lowers his arm again.

"Please don’t touch me, don’t hurt me, please!”

Mark is in too much adrenaline rush and urgency to get Nick to safety that he doesn't have the time to feel pissed. He doesn't have enough space in his brain to fully process that Agent Van Hoven—or anyone at all—has decided to record some of the audio from Nick's molestation footage.

"Hey, that's his voice!" he hears someone yelling with a voice that Mark knows doesn't belong to one of the D.E.A.N agents here.

"That fucking whore!"

"He is going there, I see him!"

That's his cue to push Nick and crouch-run faster with the remaining chaperone agents.

“Go, go, go!” he rushes them from behind them.

He’s desperately hoping the second decoy team is effective enough to basically draw out most of Helga people to the middle area and away from the back, because he doesn’t know how else they will survive with only 5 people here.

He might have seriously fucked up previously by suggesting going back to the middle of the headquarter and converging with the other agents, so now this is their very last plan in their arsenal.

It has to work.

Created and exec produced by Sutter (Sons of Anarchy, Mayans M.C.), who also serves as showrunner, The Abandons follows a group of diverse, outlier families pursuing their Manifest Destiny in 1850s Oregon, as a corrupt force of wealth and power, coveting their land, tries to force them out. These abandoned souls, the kind of lost souls living on the fringe of society, unite their tribes to form a family and fight back. In this bloody process, “justice” is stretched beyond the boundaries of the law. The Abandons will explore that fine line between survival and law, the consequences of violence, and the corrosive power of secrets, as this family fights to keep their land.

Sutter EPs for SutterInk. Additional executive producers include Stephen Surjik, Otto Bathurst, Emmy Grinwis, and Jon Paré.

Best known for producing and starring in CBS’s MacGyver, Till has also been seen in multiple X-Men films, Park Chan-wook’s thriller Stoker, and Jackie Chan action comedy The Spy Next Door, among other projects.

Robinson’s credits in TV include Maid, Love, Victor — which he also executive produced — and A Teacher. On the film side, he’s been seen in Native Son, Love, Simon, Jurassic World, The Kings of Summer and other titles.

In addition to Netflix’s Space Force, Silvers has been seen in films like Birds of Paradise, Ava, Ma, Booksmart, and Glass.

Emmy nominated this year for a guest part on The Last of Us, Johnson’s previously been seen on Showtime’s Your Honor, as well as in films like All the Bright Places, Dark Phoenix, Native Son, and The Hate U Give.

TV credits for Franciosi include Black Narcissus, I Know This Much Is True, Genius, and Game of Thrones. Notable film credits include The Last Voyage of the Demeter, God’s Creatures, The Unforgivable, and The Nightingale.

Del Riego is best known for her work on shows like NCIS: Los Angeles, Promised Land, The Rookie, How to Get Away with Murder, and American Crime, to name a few.

Till is repped by Independent Artist Group and WCM; Robinson by CAA and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern; Silvers and Johnson by WME, Entertainment 360, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman; Franciosi by United Agents, WME, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller; and Del Riego by Greene Talent, Link Entertainment, and attorney Marios Rush.

Mercy Me

Shards crunch under her shoes when Kara makes her way back to L-Corp after depositing Mercy Graves in her cell. NCPD is on site, so is a DEO team, and she can see the cleaning crews already hard at work, sweeping up debris, picking up the pieces of the shattered reception area downstairs.

“Kara!” Heeled feet rush towards her with short but swift steps.

“Eve. Are you alright?”

Eve smiles. “Yes, yes. I’m good. Just, you know, overseeing some of…this,” she says, waving at the chaos surrounding them.

“I bet that’ll keep you busy for a while,” Kara grimaces.

She wants to suggest that maybe Eve should go home, take care of herself. After all, she was in the middle of the violence, too, and should probably get some rest. But Eve is already halfway down the hall, typing on her tablet.

“Oh, yes, but it’s fine. It helps to be here, to make sure things go back to normal.” Eve glances down at the floor briefly. “I feel more in control, coordinating the cleanup. Does that make sense?”

Kara reaches out and touches her elbow. “It does.”

“Anyway,” Eve giggles a little, clearly trying to show Kara the bubbly personality she is used to. “I assume you’re here to check on Miss Luthor?”

“Yeah.”

“She’s in her office. She’s a little banged up. Maybe you can convince her to go home. There’s really not much she can do here now.”

Kara nods. “I’ll try.”

She finds that she struggles to walk the rest of the way to Lena’s office at human speed. The memories of the day flood her brain. Memories of Lena putting her body between Mercy and Kara repeatedly, of shielding Kara and choosing to fight Mercy herself while pushing Kara out of the room. Kara shivers. She can’t allow herself to think about all the ways this could have ended had she not been able to charge back in as Supergirl when she did.

When she gets to Lena’s office, the door is propped open; likely still a result of the earlier intrusion. She peeks into the room but doesn’t spot Lena right away.

“Lena?”

There’s a faint “in here” from around the corner, indicating that Lena is in the small bathroom that’s attached to her office. For a second, Kara debates whether she should simply wait, sit down on the couch. But then she remembers Eve’s words: she’s a little banged up. Kara takes a shaky breath and walks toward the noises she can hear coming from the bathroom.

The door is open and she can see Lena, her back facing towards Kara. She’s rooting around the medicine cabinet, a few other supplies already sitting by the sink.

“Lena?”

Kara tries to keep her voice soft but Lena flinches anyway. She turns and that’s when Kara sees some blood on her chin. Alarmed, she tries to take stock and only barely manages to suppress the urge to use her x-ray vision. There’s a small cut on Lena’s lip, along with some discolouration of the skin on the left side of her jaw, indicating the early stages of a bruise forming there. Kara also notices that Lena’s breathing is pretty shallow, like she’s avoiding fully inflating her lungs.

“Kara! Oh my god! Are you alright? I couldn’t find you after Supergirl showed up and I’ve been so worried. Are you hurt?”

There’s a panicked tone to her voice, the words tumbling out fast and furious.

Kara huffs. “I’m fine, totally fine. But you, you’re bleeding.”

Lena turns back toward the medicine cabinet.

“It’s nothing. Just a nick. I’m just looking for an ice pack. There should still be one in here. Though I admit I forgot to stock up after last time.”

After last time. The words crash into Kara like a bucket of cold water. Of course she knows that this isn’t the first time Lena got hurt, and likely won’t be the last. The reality of that realization makes her sway a little on her feet.

“Can I help? You should probably sit and rest. I can find the ice pack for you.”

“Oh. Well. I also need to, um…” she picks up an individually wrapped alcohol wipe, tears open the packaging and faces the mirror to dab at her lip.

Kara can see that her hands are shaking. She takes a slow step toward Lena and puts a careful hand on her arm.

“Let me?”

It’s not much more than a whisper, a quiet plea for Lena to allow her to be there for her, even in just a small way.

Lena doesn’t reply right away, and for a moment, Kara thinks she is going to decline the offer, that she will politely tell Kara that she’s fine and that Kara should go.

But then she nods, and Kara lets out a relieved breath. She leads Lena out of the bathroom and to the couch.

“Here,” Kara walks over to pour Lena a glass of water, “drink this. I’ll go find that ice pack.”

When she gets back to the room again with an armful of supplies, Lena is sitting on the very edge of the couch, back ramrod straight, gingerly sipping her water. Kara drops most of the supplies on the little glass table, cracks the ice pack and hands it to her.

“Thanks.”

Lena sucks in a sharp breath when she twists and presses the ice pack against her ribs. Kara frowns but sits down next to her and focuses on unwrapping another alcohol wipe. She turns toward Lena, wipe in hand, and carefully lifts her hand to Lena’s chin.

“This okay?” Kara says quietly just before she touches the wipe to the bloody skin below Lena’s lip.

Lena nods but it’s so small that Kara only notices it because she can feel the movement through the wipe. She carefully cleans her chin, avoiding the actual cut at first. She wants to give Lena a moment to get used to this, to them being this close, so she takes her time cleaning off the blood that had trickled down Lena’s jaw.

“This might sting a little,” Kara warns before she gently dabs around the cut.

Lena doesn’t reply, just stays very still, her eyes locked on Kara’s face. Kara knows this is much more intimate than any encounter they’ve had so far, and that includes various life-saving moments where Kara has had her arms around Lena’s legs and waist. She tries to focus, to think only about cleaning the cut and not about the fact that she is currently touching Lena’s lip. She can hear Lena’s heartbeat thundering in her ribcage, and she’s sure her own sounds just about the same, wild and unruly.

“There. All done.”

Kara folds the used wipe and stuffs it back in the opened wrapper on the table. Lena nods but seems tongue tied for the moment.

“Do you want me to call someone? Get you some actual medical attention?”

“I’m so sorry,” Lena suddenly bursts out, tears welling up in her eyes. “Kara. I, you, I put you in danger today, and I am so sorry. Are you sure you are okay? You really didn’t get hurt?”

“What?” Kara blinks. “No, Lena. I’m not hurt. I’m okay. And that’s because you protected me.”

“But…”

“No buts. You did. And I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for you to face off with Mercy. With the history that you have with her. Some of the things she said to you today were, well. I can’t imagine that was easy to hear.”

Lena ducks her head, and Kara can see how she is forcing herself to take a few careful, shuddering breaths. She reaches out and grabs Lena’s hand, squeezing it gently while Lena takes a moment to collect herself.

Kara thinks about how Lena literally threw herself into hand-to-hand combat with a criminal, how she took punch after punch without flinching, but how Mercy’s words throughout their encounter did more damage than her fists ever could. It makes her heart ache.

“Now,” Kara nods at the first aid supplies still scattered on the table in front of them, “what do you say we put all this away and get you out of here?”

Lena nods gingerly but winces a bit at the movement. Kara frowns. “You sure you don’t want me to take you to the hospital to get you checked out properly?”

“I’m fine, Kara. I’ll take some painkillers at home.”

“Okay.” She holds out a hand to Lena, helps her stand and loops an arm around her for support. “Let’s get you home.”

“Thank you.”

“No. Thank you, Lena. You saved a lot of people today. Preventing the hack into the image inducer database. Protecting your employees. Protecting me.”

“Yeah, well. They were only in danger because of me and my family.”

Kara can hear the frustration in Lena’s voice, and there’s some anger there, too.

“Lena. You’re not responsible for the actions of a criminal like Mercy. Just because you knew her once doesn’t mean this is on you. She made the choice to attack, to do what she did. Not you.”

Lena shakes her head and pulls away from Kara, and Kara watches as Lena steels herself, as she tries to stand taller despite the pain in her ribs.

“That may be the case, but she attacked L-Corp for a reason. She chose this, me, as a target and that wasn’t random.”

Kara sighs. She knows that Lena is right about that, and as much as she wants to refute it and continue telling Lena that what happened today was not her fault, she is fully aware that her words can no longer reach past Lena’s walls.

“Well. She’s in custody now, so everyone is safe. Let’s get you home, okay?”

Lena nods and pulls out her phone. “My driver is waiting for me in the parkade.”

Kara sighs again. There’s that polite dismissal that she’s been waiting for since she stepped into Lena’s office earlier. It stings a little, even though she knows this was inevitable.

“Okay. Get some rest, Lena. And if you feel any worse later, please make sure to see a doctor?”

“I’ll be fine. Thank you, Kara.”

They hug briefly and it’s a little awkward because Lena angles herself so Kara doesn’t accidentally bump her torso. Kara lets her go with one last squeeze of her shoulder and watches her disappear into the elevator.

Much later that evening, when Kara is at home and half asleep on the couch, her phone dings.

LL: Thank you for your help today

LL: Since we were interrupted in the middle of our conversation, if you need any more information about Mercy for your article, let me know. I’ll keep the files in my office for now if you need to take another look

Kara smiles a little. Of course Lena would still make sure that Kara has what she needs. Despite everything.

K: I appreciate it. Thank you!

K: And thank you again for keeping me safe!

K: Now sleep! Don’t make me come over there to force you to rest

Kara puts her phone down and makes a mental note to swing by Lena’s office first thing tomorrow with coffee and some donuts. She briefly thinks about calling Alex, to check in, but also to talk to her about letting Lena in on her secret. The events of the day brought into focus that Lena put herself in danger for Kara, not knowing that of the two of them, Lena was the one who needed protection. Lena got hurt because she stepped into a fight that Kara could have easily handled on her own.

Lena got hurt because she didn’t know.

Kara shudders and pulls a blanket up to her chin. Tomorrow. She’ll ask Alex for advice and she’ll check in on Lena.

She falls asleep to images of Lena’s face so close to her own, of trembling hands and fingers, of blood red lips.

Shutting Down

Pairing: Yelena Belova x Reader (You chose if its platonic or not)

Warnings: Cursing, yelling

Requested by: @fluxy001

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It wasn’t uncommon for Yelena to get yelled at by the avengers. She was fairly new to the team and liked to goof around. And being the sister of the Black Widow the team had very high expectations. They noticed every little thing that she did wrong but what they didn’t seem to notice was how their shouting affected her. She would shut down for hours afterwards going as far to stay in her room to avoid them. 

The only one who hadn’t yelled at her yet was you. So maybe that's why she tended to be around you all the time. Whether it was sitting and watching a movie or during a meeting. You took notice of her behavior and went out of your way to be very cautious when it came to yelling or confronting her on things. Natasha appreciated this very much. She saw how much her little sister had grown to like you. She also knew how sweet and kind you were.

You had been sitting in this meeting for over 2 hours and were extremely exhausted. All you wanted to do was get out and sleep. 

As you tapped your fingers on the desk the door opened to reveal Yelena. She was looking down but you could tell she was looking at you. Nick looked at you as she made her way over. Sitting beside you and laying her head on your shoulder trying to get as close as possible.

With an eye roll Nick went back to talking and you tried to pay attention. But it was hard when Yelena kept trying to move closer and get your attention. 

“y/n” she tugged on your arm and you ignored her. “y/n” she tugged harder this time causing you to go sideways a little.

“Lena, not now.” you said softly trying to get her to stop. But she didn’t. If anything she just tried harder. Nick cleared his throat and you tried to listen again but she got more desperate. Saying your name louder and even tugging your head to look at you. Not thinking you snapped.

“What Yelena?! Im in the middle of something! I told you not now! So stop.” Yelena deflated slightly but only rolled her eyes. Nick was quick to walk out before things got worse only muttering something about continuing tomorrow.

“I wasn't doing anything wrong. I just wanted you to pay attention to me.” She defended moving your arms and trying to sit in your lap. You pushed her off and stood up.

“Nothing wrong? Nothing Wrong! Yelena, that was important. Now I don’t even know half of what he was telling me. Now I have to sit here again tomorrow and get yelled at because you couldn’t wait another hour! Do you even think before you do stuff!” you were yelling at this point. Once you were finished you saw her shoulders sag and her head drop back down. Then you heard sniffling and immediately felt bad for yelling. With a sigh you spoke. “Lena, I'm sorry. Its just that I'm overwhelmed. And-'' Before you could finish she quickly ran out of the room. Groaning you sat back in the chair and put your head in your hands. “FUCK!” 

Thinking for a bit you decided to leave her alone. Give her time to calm down. Usually when she gets yelled at she goes to her room for a bit then comes back fine. But as it got later she didn’t come out. You headed to her room feeling guilty but giving her until tomorrow.

The next day, Yelena still didn’t come out of her room. Natasha came down every few hours to grab snacks and glare at you. You could tell the glare was half hearted though. Because when she started heading back up you saw her give you a small smile out of the corner of her eye. She may be mad at you but you were still her friend. 

After another day the guilt was eating at you and you decided to go talk to her. Making your way to her room you saw Nat come out. Giving her a smile she nodded her head and walked away. You knocked on the door softly. When you got no answer you opened it. Walking in you saw Yelena on her bed, eyes red and covered in blankets. When she saw you she looked away and covered her head with one of the blankets. You walk over to the bed and lay down beside her.

“Lena? Lena, please look at me.” There was a pause of silence before she pulled the blanket away from her face and looked at you. Now being able to really see her face you could see the bags under her eyes. “Lena, I'm sorry. Please. I Didn't mean what I said back there. I love having you around. I love everything about you. I'm sorry I yelled. I know you don’t like that.” You scooted closer to her slowly not wanting to startle her. You opened your arms and she hesitated for a minute before laying her head on your chest. You wrapped your arms around her and closed your eyes enjoying her warmth.

“I wanted to be around you so bad then because Steve had just got done lecturing me about a mission I messed up,” She started crying and you wrapped your arms around her tighter. “I just wanted you. I wanted you.” She repeated again quietly. 

“I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.” Sighing softly she closed her eyes and slowly drifted off.

Both of you were asleep when Natasha came to check on you. With a smile she turned around and shut the door. She knew you were perfect for each other. You’d always be there for her when she was Shutting down.

Day 31 — A Light at The End of The Tunnel | Comfort + Bedside Vigil

------

The team room is quiet as it is filled with thick and tense atmosphere. It feels like the air itself is choking the oxygen out of his airway.

Mark sits on a metal foldable chair now, having washed his hands from the sickening blood and changing his clothes. He is now thankfully feeling much calmer after his mental breakdown. Still, he is chock full of extreme anxiety that feels like it’s drowning him.

His chin is supported by his connected fists as his elbows are sharply pushing against his thighs. His mind is racing, taking inventory of each millisecond that leads to Nick having his belly stuffed with countless gauze and cruelly burned to staunch his internal bleeding.

Mark is tormented with the image of Nick’s eyes slowly closing and his skin getting clammy. He also vaguely remembers the out-of-body sensation of himself eventually getting dragged out of the now operating room while his eyes froze at Nick’s close-to-lifeless body.

His heart is still clenching painfully, fear drenching every atom in his body.

Even without looking, he can feel Anna and Don feeling empathic and drowning in guilt and self-hatred for being the biggest reason Nick is like this—not just today, but for all the time they looked at him with distrust almost like they were blaming Nick for his own tragic life.

For choosing to avoid endless pain by creating Helga’s most powerful tool and defense to date, and even then, still hurt in mind and body by those inhumane people anyway just because they felt like it.

Mark feels so fucking furious.

He raises his head to look at the bald and short-brown-haired veterans, venom and hatred filling his eyes.

Anna and Don just look down in shame.

“Marcus, don’t,” Lena says immediately before he does anything.

Everyone else tensely stays silent, almost in respect and in united unsaid prayer, as they wait for Doctor Lowe along with and the nurses to come out with whatever news it will end up being.

It’s been two hours.

“You guys know that we’re gonna have to give that to FBI, right?” Luke breaks the silence, “Or testify for that, since we didn’t record the evidence.”

Mark now throws his angry look at him this time.

“That’s technically CP since he was 17 at the time.”

“Yes, Luke, we’re aware,” Horace says impatiently, so uncharacteristic of his usual mild disposition.

“Fuck no,” Mark retorts sharply.

Luke sighs tiredly.

“That’s not our jurisdiction, Mark. That’s for DOJ to decide.”

“I don’t fucking care.”

Mark gives the sharpest look he can conjure up, while Luke just looks back at him tiredly.

“Mark, listen, our job is to neutralize. Once it’s done, justice needs to be served, and that’s not our specialty or skillset.”

“And making him suicidal again is?”

“We can, I don’t know, get him counseling,” Lena chips in unsurely.

“You think the fucking garbage they gave us, after Jackson and Addrianne and the rest of our fucking team died, is gonna be enough to undo years of abuse? Get fucking real, Lena.”

“You’re saying it like he’s going to be alive to feel the effect,” Anderson quips in absently.

Mark can’t hold himself back from stalking firmly towards the Mediterranean junior agent and swinging his fist when he gets close enough.

Thankfully, Luke and Horace are there to pull him back.

Anderson steps back anyway to avoid the blond almost half a foot taller than him.

“I’m not being morbid. I’m being realistic, and—”

“Anderson, shut the fuck up,” almost everyone says in unison.

Mark is breathing hard with face red in anger. Once in a while, he struggles against his commanding officer’s and senior agent’s hold to try to get to Anderson again.

“Marcus, sit the fuck down. And you, asshole, shut your mouth or I’ll beat you myself.”

At Luke’s words, both Anderson and Mark eventually settle down, even if Mark rudely shakes Horace’s and Luke’s arms off his shoulders before sitting back down on his previous seat.

“Look, I’m more worried about why we couldn’t exit the video before,” Angie offers as a distraction, now back to her usual impersonal attitude.

Maybe, or maybe she is still feeling shaken and is trying to get her mind somewhere else. Or, she is being genuinely concerned about their security issue.

“Whatever FBI or DOJ or Homeland Security or what-have-you would want with that video later, our concern right now is that the encrypted structure wasn’t letting us out once we got in. I’m worried about the implication,” she explains further.

It's true.

After Nick helped them break into the encrypted structure that he created himself around two years ago, he did warn that he made some precautions and security measures (as requested via torture by the Helga circles holding him captive before) to make sure that even if their security is breached, they would be able to know by whom it was done and how, and even where it was done.

If he wasn’t sent into panic attack and hysterics, he might have been able to thread his own cyber minefield and get out safely and successfully while getting the data and information that they need like usual.

But since Anna and Don forced all of them to watch Nick’s child molestation footage, their only capable cyber-system penetrator is out of commission now, and there is no way to know what damage is done to their own security in this headquarter.

Fuck. Fucking fuck fuck.

It’s all a fucking mess now.

“Well, we can’t move,” Mary says, “since Nick is going to be in recovery.” She then adds in small, hopeless voice, “Hopefully.”

“Maybe we can ask some Tactical Intelligence agents to take a look.”

Anna rolls her eyes at George, seemingly feeling safe from everyone’s ire after Anderson’s insensitive comment.

She says sarcastically, “Look at what? The pieces of laptop that’s scattered around outside?”

“True, and thanks to whom is that?” Lena retorts sharply.

It seems that this whole thing has brought out the worst and most abrasive sides of all of them.

Anna curls into herself again.

“There is gotta be something we can do to check, or at least prepare,” Luke says as he runs his fingers through his afro frustratedly.

“How? No one in the entire D.E.A.N has ever been able to bypass their security before. Literally Nick is the only one who can, and that’s because he created it. How can we prepare when we don’t even know where to look?” Mark replies frustratedly too. “They didn’t even think to tell us their informant is a victim, and the intel is distress signals. Can we even rely on them to not mess up again?”

“So what, we just… I don’t know, do nothing, then?”

He buries his face in his palms, feeling frustrated and terrified. Nick is really paramount in all of this, and he might not even—

No, he can’t think like that.

He’ll make it. Nick will survive.

He has to.

“We still have to try. Maybe we can still send them the broken laptop. Or ask them to detect some outward or inward signals coming from Helga to us.”

Everyone tiredly agrees with George with their own defeated looks eventually.

***

“Tactical Intelligence sent a word in after scanning our network. We're gonna move. Him too.”

Mark doesn't react to Horace's words, his focus still locked onto Nick's unconscious face while he sits on the chair beside the bed Nick is laying on.

He looks pale, and there is still breathing mask attached to his face. Although, he looks... peaceful, almost.

“Doctor Lowe is gonna go with me, you, and Angie. Along with the other nurses. I told them to make sure you're going with him.”

Horace doesn't say anything anymore after informing Mark, now that he realizes Mark isn't going to respond. He chooses to unsurely step into the recovery room and stand on Nick's other side, across from Mark.

“What's the prognosis?” he finally asks to his commanding officer.

“His liver is injured, and he's lost a lot of blood. There is muscular damage around the puncture wound.”

Mark squeezes his eyes as a jolt of fear washes over him.

“But Doctor Lowe is good. He's gonna recover. It'll take a long time, but he'll be okay in the end.”

Mark chuckles bitterly.

“Will he?”

Physically, maybe. Although even that is still 50-50. But mentally? Who can even make sure of that?

Horace stays standing with his hands in his pockets, his eyes scanning Nick's frail body.

“Hope is the only thing we have now.”

Bullshit. They could have done a lot more, Mark thinks. They could have prevented all of this from happening because they had a lot more than hope three hours before. But they were all fucking greedy.

Now they don't even fucking have hope.

“I'm... sorry.”

Mark looks up to the older man.

“For what?”

Horace doesn't look back at Mark, almost like he is ashamed.

“I should have had a lot more trust in him.”

Mark looks down at Nick's face again.

“You should be saying it to him, not me.”

Horace sighs deeply.

“I know.”

Mark doesn't respond anymore, letting Horace talk if he has more to say.

“I'm the leader. I should have been reining in my agents more, instead of feeding into their distrust.”

Horace's arm stutteringly reaches out to the top of Nick's blanket, throwing a look at Mark as if he's asking Mark's permission. Mark leans back from the bed while taking his crossed arms off Nick's side from the blanket, then Horace pulls back the thin fabric covering Nick's naked torso.

Mark sees slight wince on the Latino's face at the bony body with thick gauze on top of where the jagged line of the sutures should be. Even after Nick has started eating regularly, his ribs are still jutting out slightly from his chest and his stomach is flat, if not slightly concave.

Not to mention, there are all fading scars beside still starkly clear ones all over that weakened body that they all seem to forget are there, on Nick’s skin. Everything being somewhat optimistic and amicable lately has lulled them into a false sense of peace, especially when it comes to Nick and his physical and mental wellbeing.

Horace gently pulls the blanket up again to cover Nick almost up to his chin reverently.

“This wasn’t supposed to happen,” Mark starts, not realizing that he is already saying words from his lips, so he continues anyway. “It was going so well. It’s not supposed to go like this. What happened?”

His commanding officer doesn’t respond. He only looks down even more, almost in shame.

“He's only 21,” Mark says again. “He doesn't deserve all of this. He is too young.”

“You know… most of my family died trying to cross over to America, all the way from Honduras,” Mark hears Horace says unsurely, “My mother survived, against all odds. Then she gave birth to me.”

Mark feels slight irritation at his story like it’s supposed to be a competition.

“Your point being?” he asks, almost with a sharp voice.

“If it's any consolation, the world isn't personally against him. So maybe the world isn't so cruel that it won't give him a better life eventually,” Horace explains calmly as to not feed into Mark's prickly and anxious state of mind, “It gave my mother and me one.”

Maybe it makes sense. Maybe not. Mark doesn't know what to think.

“He has you, Marcus. If you want a sign that his life isn't so hopeless.”

Mark closes his eyes. Him being in Nick's life doesn't seem like a blessing, especially at the time Mark almost killed him.

“I'm...” Horace falters, his eyes moving to the side in deep thought, “...I'm not going to judge you for caring about him this much.”

Horace visibly contemplates again.

“He deserves to have someone caring about him beyond as a rescued informant. And you care about him as a person.”

“I feel guilty.”

Horace cocks his head to the side with a slight smile.

“I know it started out that way. But you went above and beyond to try to make him happy. He deserves that, at least.”

“I didn't... I didn't exactly do it...” now Mark falters as he closes his eyes to think of the right thing to say.

“Didn't do it right?” Horace offers.

With Mark's silence as his response, Horace decides to continue, “Not one of us did it right, Marcus. But you're the closest one. Every recovery step he made with us was because you started it, you ever realize that?”

Mark sighs again with closed eyes.

“Well, I still fucked up.”

“Because you hurt him due to Tactical Intelligence's oversight or because he misinterpreted your genuine kindness, neither of which is solely your fault?”

Mark furrows his eyebrows before whipping his head to face his senior agent.

“Anna told me few weeks ago,” Horace begins as he sincerely looks at Mark, “because I thought it was strange that you wanted Luke and me to watch over you again in his bedroom. You are the one who trusts him the most, so I thought something must have happened.”

Mark lets a silence pass before talking.

“Anna told me I fucked up.”

Horace gives a small chuckle.

“She tends to think everyone fucks up, even herself.” Horace continues to look at Nick's gaunt and pale face. “She still hates herself for not warning Jackson about the bear trap in time, just like how we all hate ourselves for over relying on our explosive scanner and missing the one that killed Addrianne.”

He doesn't know how Horace feels, but Mark feels that grief and horror again while reliving being the last person to watch Jackson alive without being able to do anything, and hearing the ghastly explosion that destroyed Addrianne's body.

“And over relying on Tactical Intelligence's scant information without checking our found informant's identity ourselves,” Horace adds.

Of course, they all eventually circle back to that. The latest reminder of how badly they've been doing their job.

“But, whatever misguided view Nick had on your kindness, I know for fact that's not on you, Mark,” Horace unexpectedly continues again. “Those bastards warped his mind so bad that he thought every good thing he gets from someone else must come at a humiliating price. You did exactly everything that teaches him the opposite of that.”

Horace then turns to face him again, his face forlorn and apologetic.

“I'm sorry I didn't do enough to make sure we didn't undermine that. I really am.”

Mark inhales deeply and exhales just as intensely, then he stands up.

“Well, whatever we're gonna do to help him recover, we still have to get him to safety first.”

Horace looks at him with a serious face, then gives a small but firm nod.

“We will.”

***

Everyone is moving about quickly in a flurry of activities. Some are taking the weapons and their ammo along with other tools that they will need, while others are putting them on their offensive jeeps and one mission van, deciding to leave behind their normal transport SUV considering it's the least fitted one for battle. They also organize the items to make sure they all fit into their vehicles and are easy to take when needed.

The ones left not doing either are collecting all important physical documents and copying all digital data from their map table and stationary computer before wiping the devices clean to prevent non-authorized party from figuring out their safety and attack plans. They also shudder slightly before sweeping the broken pieces of Nick’s laptop into a sturdy canvas bag. Tactical Intelligence has suggested bringing in the smashed pieces anyway to be examined closely later, once they’re at the safe headquarter with the other chosen teams.

Mark decides to help Luke with the loading of the weapons and defense gears, while Angie and Horace are helping Doctor Lowe and his nurses to transport unconscious and sedated Nick to their vehicle.

Luke pauses and looks at his watch then at his active-duty laptop monitor.

“We need to move quicker. There is movement towards this direction, around 20 miles away.”

They've already been moving at unprecedented speed while maintaining safety and carefulness, but they crank it up even more at Luke's words.

Mary puts crying Nightingale into the collapsible pet carrier as she grabs the feline’s canned foods and the bag of kibbles that are still left. She decides to make do without the litter, saying that it's Nevada and Nightingale can defecate on whatever sandy ground she wants. They all try their best to endure the feline's loud meowing as if she's sensing the mounting danger they're facing.

Still, Lena decides to slightly shush and pet the tiny kitten with one index finger through the pet carrier covering to calm her down.

Anna and Anderson eventually do another quick sweep of the entire headquarter to check what else they need to do, putting booby trap explosives on their SUV and all around the building before gearing up and jumping into their jeeps.

Whatever happens to this headquarter, it might as well never exist at all.

They put forward maximum speed to their vehicles with Angie, Anderson, and Anna driving each of them separately, all of them thankfully fitted with bullet-proof surface.

In the van, Horace is sitting next to Angie with his rifle ready to fire, as Mark is in the back. All the while, Doctor Lowe and the nurses are trying to hold Nick's body to stabilize him as best as they can with the jostling around the car due to the speed. It’s a very precarious time for a patient right after such an intense surgery.

The other two vehicles are caging the van to protect the vulnerable charges inside, especially Nick.

Mark looks to his right at the small monitor mounted on the back of the divider to the driver’s side. The screen displays the live feed of the road behind the van, footage shot by the small camera fitted to the back door of the van. With the van’s windows and surface completely concealed for safety, the camera is the only way the people inside—especially the driver—can watch what’s happening behind the vehicle. There, Mark sees the jeep driven by Anderson trailing behind.

Then Mark looks back at Nick again.

“Is this okay for him?”

Doctor Lowe looks up from Nick’s prone body to Mark.

“Better this than killed by those bastards if we didn’t move.”

Mark gives a small sigh, probably too small to be heard by the surgeon considering his protective helmet. He knows it’s true, but it doesn’t mean he likes it, especially as he sees Nick’s body shaking visibly from side to side despite the medical personnel’s firm holds and the belt restraint around the bed.

He looks at the monitor again to try to gauge where they are. The appearance of the surrounding area around the jeep behind them doesn’t give away too much, but it seems that they aren’t that far yet from their (now old and abandoned) headquarter.

They’ve never gone this far from their headquarter, aside from the times they were executing raids and in previous collisions—which were done by going to the Helga circles’ locations, not by leaving the headquarter to escape them.

Hopefully those sons of bitches won’t catch them enroute now to their safe house. There is no way his team can hold them off properly, especially with one recently post-op patient and four non-combatant medical personnel, regardless of D.E.A.N standard training for all agents—including the ones in Medical Department.

“How much longer until we arrive?”

Mark then rests his machine gun against his left shoulder so that his hands are free to grab the heavy duty highly secure laptop they have, his eyes sharply locking onto the screen showing their location and the general map of their surroundings.

“32.7 miles more.”

Doctor Lowe tsks quietly with a severe look on his face while he is staring at Nick’s body, particularly where he just operated on the boy.

“I hope there’s some fucking suitable operating room this time.”

Mark furrows his eyebrows behind the visor of his helmet.

“We’re gonna have to redo some of his stitches. There’s no way the sutures won’t be disturbed if we jostle him around like this for over 30 miles.”

Mark blanches.

“I’ll do my best stabilizing him now, don’t worry,” the surgeon immediately tells him, sensing his shifting posture into becoming tense and alert, “and I’m good. I know his stiches are gonna hold up much better than normal because I did them.”

Without looking, Mark can hear Doctor Lowe’s smirk behind his own visor.

“If there is re-stitching needed, it would be minimal.”

Mark decides to take his word for it. He seems confident enough about it.

It apparently takes at least 90 minutes to arrive at the location of the other back-up teams, and by the time they arrive, they are greeted by the sight of a dozen or so agents with machine guns slung on their shoulders in the courtyard.

Anderson steers the car slightly sideway to let the van first in front of the new headquarter front side, backing up so that the doors immediately open to the doorway of the building. Then he and Anna drive their own respective vehicles in front of the van to cage it again as protective shield.

Horace comes out of the van with Angie who now has her own weapons in her hands. Mark is following behind as he helps the surgeon and his nurses to get Nick out.

“Agent Himura,” their commanding officer greets the other team’s leader with grave voice, head nodding slightly.

“Agent Fernandez,” the Japanese commanding officer responds with his own acknowledging head nod.

Another agent walks up, a wiry build man with sandy hair and black eyes, to where the two commanding officers stand.

“Our deputy, Agent Van Hoven,” the Japanese man says to Horace.

“Good to see you, Sir,” the younger man tells Horace simply.

“You too,” Horace replies, “and this is ours. Agent Basset.”

He then points at Anna who has just gotten out of the vehicle and walks to where the three agents are.

“Welcome to 1034,” the other commanding officer says again, “Although I’m sure we all hope to meet at a better occasion.”

Horace and Anna nod again before looking around the building to see quite many other agents milling around.

“We’ve called on 1023 and 1082,” Agent Himura explains at Horace’s and Anna’s questioning looks. “Stealth just gave intel that the circle you got the informant from has joined force with several other circles. We figure we need more manpower than just 3 Offensive teams.”

Horace nods in understanding.

“We’re also thinking of requesting some other from Central Hub, but they might not arrive in time,” Agent Van Hoven adds.

Horace’s and the newly joining Anderson’s face harden at the comment, slight worry passing through them.

“I’m assuming that’s the load?” the deputy of team 1034 says again with a head gesture to the van.

Just as they all turn to see the van, the bed where Nikolai is laying on is getting taken out quickly but carefully, followed by few agents from other teams helping Mark and Doctor Lowe to safely transfer the bed to the ground.

“Yes,” Horace replies with a short mournful look.

The other agents also have thinly veiled pitying and shocked expressions on their faces when the bed rolls by them, seeing the many tubes and medical tools attached to the obviously very young person, on top of the extremely skinny body.

“He is 21?”

“Yeah,” Anna answers this time with a slightly guilty look that Mark can see from afar.

“He doesn’t look so,” Agent Van Hoven says with furrowed eyes. “We were expecting someone who looks a little older.”

“He just turned twenty-one just a little over three months ago, and he was in Helga for over three years,” Luke now responds, as he just walks towards them.

There is a moment when several of the surrounding agents drop their masks of professionalism and neutrality. Agent Van Hoven also has a sad look while facing the thin, unconscious face of Nick, scars visible where his skin is not covered by the blanket.

“We have an actual operating room here, right?” Doctor Lowe now asks almost impatiently.

Another agent with more muscular stature and darker skin approaches him and chimes in, “Yes, that’s why we chose 1034 as a rendezvous point. You can use it immediately.”

Doctor Lowe looks at him, soundlessly asking for an introduction.

“I’m Agent Harry Leonard, 1082’s deputy commanding officer.”

“And the computer?” now Lena asks, slinging a canvas bag filled with pieces of Nick’s laptop on one shoulder while their other hand is holding a pistol.

Horace’s other subordinates and other teams’ agents don’t waste time acclimating themselves with each other in the background, immediately exchanging intel and plans and converging in almost like over 40 of them have always been one team. The short debriefing and introduction on the forefront then end with the 1082’s deputy nodding towards the building while he says,

“Come on in, I’ll take you to Tactical Intelligence guys.”

Emma runs after her sisters through a bright, peaceful forest. The birds are singing their beautiful melodies and Emma can’t help but slow down and listen.

“Come on Em-ma!” Kara yells behind her shoulder.

“Yea slow poke!” Alex spins around and laughs before racing off again.

Emma smiles and picks up her pace but her sisters disappear around a bend in the track. As she comes around the bend, Emma falters. In front of her, the path separates into two paths and fork off in different directions.

‘Which one did they go down?’ Emma wonders as she looks between the two.

“Alex!” Kara's laugh can be heard down the path to the right, making Emma grin and start to run down that path.

But she misses that the birdsong has stopped, that the once vibrant forest has dulled and fallen into shadow.

Suddenly she trips and falls heavily to the damp floor. Her teeth and brain rattle as her head hits the ground hard.

Disorientated Emma tries to figure out what is happening when all of a sudden she is dragged back towards the other path.

“That path is not for you Emma Danvers, oh no it isn’t!” A sing-song voice calls out as they pull her behind them.

“ALEX! KARA! HELP ME!” Emma screams out, her voice echoing around the silent forest. She desperately tries to stop what is happening and digs her fingers into the mud or grab a hold of a root of any tree she passes, but the force dragging her is too strong.

“Alex! Kara! Help me!” The voice mocks her and laughs cruelly. “They can’t help you dearie!”

Emma tries to look at her attacker, but all she can see is dark, swirling shadows.

“Ah! Ah! Not yet!” The voice gleefully cackles out and again Emma digs her now bleeding fingers into the dirt. “Stop resisting! It is useless!” They yank Emma hard, causing her to cry out.

“Emma?” Nia’s voice calls out to her.

“Here we are! Have a nice flight!”

Suddenly Emma is flung across the ground. Her stomach rolls as her body skids over the cliff and a scream rips from her lips.

“Emma!” Lena screams and grabs a hold of the blonde’s hand in the nick of time.

“Lee!” Emma cries out in relief, until Lena’s face is full of panic.

“I can’t pull you up! I’m not strong enough!” Her eyes widen fully as Emma starts to slip from her grasp.

“Emma!” Alex, Kara and Nia appear over the ledge. Her sisters reach for her while Nia watches with bewildered eyes. Their fingertips barely touch Emma’s other outstretched hand.

“Hang on!” Alex wails, her eyes filled with tears.

“Reach!” Kara screams and stretches as far as she can.

Emma breathes out in fear as she notices the ledge they are laid on starts cracking under their weight.

She opens her mouth to warn them.

She tries to call out.

But her voice no longer obeys her.

The cracks continue to snake underneath her loved ones and knows what she must do.

Emma relaxes her hand and lets go of Lena’s wrist, allowing her other hand to drop to her side.

Absolute horror fills Lena’s face.

“Emma?! What are you doing?” Lena screams out and her sisters scramble to try and grab a hold of Lena to hoist Emma up. Continuously yelling out her name and to hold on.

Nia’s mouth drops open and her eyes widen in alarm at her action.

Accepting her fate, Emma gives them a small smile.

“Emma! No!” Lena screams, her heart ache clearly within her eyes and tone of voice. Braking Emma’s own heart.

Suddenly her hand slips from Lena’s hold and Emma feels the wind and whistle sound build around her as she falls. Hearing her name being yelled by those she loves.

“Emma!”

Emma’s eyes shoot open and her breath hitches in her throat. Her body is drenched in a cold sweat and her heart feels like it's going to pound out of her chest.

“Emma? Please, you’re safe. You’re home. You’re in bed with me. It was just a dream. You’re safe love.” Lena’s desperate voice breaks through the blinding panic Emma was experiencing.

The dream had felt so real.

“Breathe love, please breathe.”

Emma listens to Lena’s instructions and tries to take a few deep gulps of air.

“That’s it love.” Lena soothes and Emma reaches out blindly for her hand. As soon as Emma feels Lena take it, Emma starts to relax.

“Hope, turn the lights on to the lowest setting.”

Emma scrunches her eyes as the room fills with a soft glow. She realises she is sitting up with Lena next to her, looking at her in grave concern.

“Was it a dream?”

Emma nods and looks down at her fingers, rubbing them together to check that they were not shredded and bleeding. Seeing that her hands were indeed okay she naturally runs a hand through her damp hair. She cringes and rolls her shoulders at how her pajamas are sticking to her.

“Love?” Lena gently rubs her thumb over Emma’s hand and the blonde turns to look at her. “Shall I run you a bath? Maybe help you relax before we have to go into the DEO later?”

Emma blinks and frowns slightly at Lena’s words.

“The surgery.” Lena says carefully, her eyes searching Emma’s. “It’s today.”

Emma’s mouth drops open in realisation. ‘Of course.’ The previous week had gone quickly and the Superfriends had tried to keep Emma’s mind off it with lunches, movie and game nights.

But the day has now finally arrived.

Lena watches the anxiety play across Emma’s face and she squeezes her girlfriend’s hand. “Love, it’s going to be okay. We’ll get through this.”

Emma nods and kisses Lena’s hand.

Lena sadly smiles at her but when Emma lifts her head and their eyes connect, she morphs it into a warm smile. “So, how about that bath?”

Emma smiles back and lets go of Lena’s hand to sign. “Will you join me?”

“Do you want me to?” Lena lifts a flirty eyebrow.

Emma nods and runs a nervous hand through her hair again, which Lena picks up while she glides out of bed.

‘She’s still agitated.’ Lena thinks sadly, her heart aches at Emma’s vacant expression but she continues on into the bathroom to get everything ready.

Emma watches her go, but soon falls into her memories of the dream. How real it felt as she was being dragged back by the shadowed figure. How her heart pounded as she watched the ledge until Lena started to crack.

She tries to push away the dream and not let the panic and nerves she feels towards the surgery overwhelm her.

Emma has wanted this surgery since the moment she knew her voice was gone, but now the day is finally here, Emma can’t help but allow the anxiety to bubble away in her gut.

“Emma?”

Emma blinks at hearing Lena's voice and turns her head towards the en-suite door.

“The bath is ready.” Lena softly calls out.

Emma stiffly stands and makes her way over. She halts as soon as she walks in and gapes at what she sees. Somehow in that short space of time Lena has lit many candles around the room, giving it a soft, warm, comforting glow.

Her eyes settle on Lena, already sitting in the large bathtub that can easily fit the both of them. Emma can’t help but zone in on her hidden breasts under the bubbles.

“Something you wanna see?” Lena says in a sultry voice and smirks.

The corner of Emma’s right lip pulls up but she continues on to use the toilet before she can join her girlfriend.

“I was wondering, after the surgery and- everything.” Lena says while softly swirling the water around her. “That we should go on a trip? Maybe along the coast or we go to the places in Europe I know you’ve always wanted to properly visit and not just see the stadium.”

Emma thinks for a moment and nods while pushing the flush and washing her hands. The left side of her mouth pulls up as well, creating a soft smile at the thought of going around Florence or Paris with Lena.

“Maybe we can go to Paris and have creme brulee on top of the Eiffel Tower?” Lena smiles warmly at her as Emma pulls off her sweaty clothes.

Lena tilts her head at the bright smile on Emma’s face as she pulls her vest top over.

“What?” The raven haired beauty asks inquisitively. “I didn’t know you love creme brulee that much!” She laughs and beams as Emma carefully steps into the bath and lowers herself. The girlfriends are facing each other with their legs tangling together.

“No, I’m smiling cause I was thinking about Paris before you said about it!” Emma signs and lets out a deep sigh as she relaxes back into the warm water.

“Great minds think alike.”

Emma nods but slowly her smiling fades and she swallows deeply as her mind turns to what is going to happen later in the day.

“Hey.” Lena reaches down under the water and softly strokes Emma’s leg. “Why don’t you come over here?”

Emma pulls herself up and swivels as Lena opens her legs to allow her girlfriend to fit in between them.

“There, is that better?” Lena asks softly and kisses Emma’s shoulder. Emma nods and kisses Lena’s temple in return.

The couple sit back and relax in the water. Emma rests her head against Lena’s shoulder and snuggles her cheek against Lena’s, she smirks at feeling Lena’s plump breasts pressing against her back.

They lie there for a while, enjoying the feeling of sitting together as Lena gently strokes and massages different parts of Emma’s body to help her relax.

“It’s a good thing I installed the warmer huh?” Lena murmurs, not wanting to leave the comfortable bath and pleased the water will stay warm and clean for as long as they want to stay in there.

She feels Emma barely nod in response.

“Ah, are you falling asleep on me love?” Lena chuckles deeply as Emma sluggishly shakes her head. “Oh I think you are.”

Lena turns her head and presses tender kisses to Emma’s cheek.

“If you want, I can-” Lena’s right hand slowly moves down to Emma’s upper thigh and moves it closer to her inner thigh.

That catches Emma’s attention, she shifts, opens her eyes and licks her lips in anticipation.

“May I?” Lena purrs huskily, her voice deep and dripping in honey.

Emma nods and places her hand on top of Lena, moving it to her pussy.

“You know what you want.” Lena chuckles and Emma’s back arches when her fingers gently skim across her clit.

“You like that huh?” Lena heatedly asks and lightly massages Emma’s clit. Causing her girlfriend to jerk her hips at the familiar tingling sensation spreading across her skin. Lena feels Emma squeeze her wrist encouragingly, pleading for her to continue.

‘Please don’t stop! Lee! Fuck! Yes!’ Emma’s mind cries out as her hips jerk more and more and her body becomes more rigid with each circular motion Lena does.

“Are you close?” Lena hums in her ear.

One tap. “Yes.”

‘Fuck yes I’m so close! Don’t stop!’

“God, I wish I could taste you right now. I bet you taste divine.” Lena slightly increases the pressure in her fingers, in response Emma arches her back further and writhes as the feelings of pleasure bursting through her body.

“That’s it love. Fuck you are incredible.” Lena moans and kisses the space behind Emma’s ear.

“Come for me Em-ma.” Lena drawls out her girlfriend’s name, as she listens to the increase in speed in Emma’s breath and imagines her moans.

The blonde’s hips buck as her orgasm surges through her. She quickly lets go of Lena’s wrist and grabs the side of the bath as she voicelessly cries out in pleasure.

“Hmm, there we go. Fuck you’re so sexy when you come.” Lena kisses Emma’s cheeks until Emma turns her head and their lips connect.

Lena tries to draw out Emma’s orgasm as long as she can, until Emma collapses against her and turns to bury her forehead into Lena’s neck.

“Was that good love?” Lena coos to a blissful Emma. The blonde nods and starts kissing Lena’s neck. “Hmm, love. This is about you, not me.” Lena groans out as Emma latches onto an area she knows drives Lena crazy.

“Please Em.” Lena groans out and nuzzles Emma’s face away with her jaw. She gently kisses Emma’s lips before pulling away and gazing into the eyes of the one she loves. “Thank you, but I’m not finished with you yet.”

Excitement fills Emma’s eyes and she bites the inside of her bottom lip.

“Do you want to lie against me again or-” Lena tenderly kisses Emma’s lips. “You sit on my lap and ride my fingers?”

Emma’s brain short circuits as she tries to choose.

“You always have a hard time making decisions don’t you?” Lena chuckles and watches the blush creep across Emma’s already red cheeks. “Come here.” Lena decides for her, maneuvering Emma around and onto her lap. “There we go.” Lena smirks as Emma straddles her and leans in to passionately kiss her.

She moans deeply when Emma’s tongue licks against her mouth, asking for entrance. Immediately Lena opens her lips and hums as their tongues connect and suck. Her hands tangle through Emma’s blonde locks and pulls her closer.

‘Rao your prefect.’ Emma’s mind calls out to her girlfriend, wishing she could murmur the words of love she is wanting to say.

‘You will soon!’ A hopeful voice declares. Emma has already planned the words she wants to say to Lena when her voice returns, but right now, her hand snakes down between them. When she reaches her destination she smiles into the kiss and softly rubs Lena’s clit.

“Oh love.” Lena breaks the kiss and moans out as she quivers. “Please, let me focus on you.” She can’t help but buck her hips as Emma continues pleasing her. “Fuck how is it you always know what I need?”

‘Because I know you.’ Emma smirks, leans forward and kisses Lena’s neck, driving her more and more near the edge she is already teetering over.

“Oh god! Fuck! I’m so close already!” Lena gasps out as her hips move under Emma’s skilled hand.

‘That’s it Lee. Rao I love you. Come for me love’ Emma’s mind whines out, wanting nothing more than to make Lena feel good.

“Fuck! Yes, yes, yes! Emmaaaa.” Lena grabs tightly onto her girlfriend’s back and drags her nails up and down while riding out her explosive orgasm.

Emma voicelessly chuckles into her ear, feeling the slight sting of Lena’s scratches trailing up and down her back. She smiles and places loving kisses around her girlfriend’s face. Soon Lena is able to respond and connects their lips together again.

“Oh god Em. That was amazing. I’m almost embarrassed at how quick I came.” Lena rests her head back and laughs at Emma as she wiggles her eyebrows. “And I said this was about you.” She tries to harden her voice to show her displeasure but Emma shrugs in response.

Biting her lips slightly, Lena slowly dips her hand back in the water and runs it back towards Emma’s thigh.

Emma notices this and shudders in anticipation. Knowing Lena likes to draw things out for as long as she can, driving Emma crazy in the process.

Her mouth drops open when she feels Lena gently slipping a finger into Emma’s wet pussy. Lena moans out at how easy they slide in. “Fuck Em! You're so wet for me and you feel so good!” Lena breathes out, feeling her own pussy clench as Emma’s quivers.

‘Lee! Fuck! Rao!’ Emma’s mind groans out as Lena starts slowly sliding her finger in and out of her pussy.

“That’s it baby girl.” Lena purrs while gradually increasing the speed of her finger into a steady rhythm, causing Emma to breathe out open in a silent moan. Despite this, Lena can still hear the intensity behind Emma’s breath.

When Lena adds another finger Emma collapses forward and rests her forehead against Lena’s. Her mouth continues to part in silent moans as they lovingly stare into each other's eyes.

“That’s it love.” Lena kisses Emma until the blonde pulls away and grinds harder on her fingers, gasping out up towards the ceiling. Her back aching with each thrust as her pleasure continues to build. “Do you want my fingers to fuck you harder and faster huh?”

One tap on her shoulder. “Yes.”

“You sure?”

Another, slightly harder, tap. “Yes!”

Lena smirks and increases the speed and feels for Emma’s g-spot, knowing she’s hit her target as Emma jolts in her lap. “Fuck you feel so good around my fingers.” Lena groans as she feels Emma’s walls start to twitch and her hips grind even harder against them. With her other arm she holds her girlfriend’s back to make sure she doesn't topple backwards.

The raven haired beauty then stretches her thumb up and rubs Emma’s clit, causing Emma’s hips to jerk wildly and fall forward. Placing a hand either side of Lena on the edge of the tub.

“That’s it love, fuck my fingers!” Lena orders as she pumps her fingers in and out of Emma. She moans deeply, feeling Emma’s walls start to close around them. “That’s it! Fuck them!”

Soon Lena feels the shift within Emma, her breaths coming out in quick spurts. “Come for me baby girl.”

Emma answers by bucking her hips a few more times before going rigid and squeezing the porcelain.

The sounds of muffled cracking hits her ears, causing Emma to immediately let go of the bath and tightly clench her fists instead.

“That’s it love. Oh you’re so fucking sexy when you come.” Lena purrs into Emma’s ear.

“I apologise for the intrusion.” Hope’s voice calls out, causing the couple to freeze, or Emma tries to but continues to convulse in Lena’s arms. “But Sam is on the line.”

Emma goes to collapse off of Lena but her girlfriend holds her in place.

“Put her through.”

“Hey Lee, sorry to call so early but Doctor Sloan is here and wants to let Emma know he is ready for whenever she wants to get the ball rolling. His phrasing, not mine.” Sam says quietly, aware that Emma may still be asleep.

“Thanks for letting us know.” Lena responds while slightly moving her fingers within Emma, causing her to jolt and the water around her to swirl.

“Are you in the bath?”

“Yes, just relaxing before- you know.”

Emma bits down on her lips as Lena starts moving inside her again and collapses into her girlfriend’s neck when she gently rubs her clit.

“Okay, well let me know what Emma decides?” Sam asks, completely unaware of what Lena is doing.

“Will do.” Lena reponds and as soon as the call is disconnected she continues her task of ravishing her girlfriend.

-- -- --

They spend another hour making love after having moved to the bedroom due to Lena joking that they were becoming pruney from the water.

The couple collapses back after riding out an orgasm together with a double ended dildo.

“Oh god I needed that.” Lena gasps out and keeps a hold of Emma’s leg.

Despite being on the other end of the bed where Lena can’t see her other than her breasts heaving up and down, Emma nods.

“I guess we better get moving?” Lena quietly asks but doesn’t want to go. Her eyes snap to Emma’s as the blonde sits up.

“Yea, or we just stay here and have sex?” She signs and lifts an eyebrow while moving her hips. Causing the dildo to rub against Lena’s g-spot again.

“Love!” Lena laughs and squeals, grabbing a hold of Emma’s hips to stop her from moving. “As much as I would love to fuck you until next year-” A deep groan escapes Lena’s lips as Emma manages to keep moving. “Oh god stop...” Lena says weakly and despite her plea, which didn’t sound convincing to Emma, she halts her movements. “We- we- ah fuck I can’t think straight.” Lena lifts her hands up to her face and moans as she feels the dildo being removed from her dripping pussy.

“Em-ma!” Lena cries out as her girlfriend’s mouth laps up her cum. Her hand flies to Emma’s head and pushes her further in between her legs. “F-uuucccckkk.”

‘You taste divine.’ Emma’s mind sings out and lifts her eyes to watch Lena coming undone again.

After lapping up all she could, Emma crawls up the bed and gently kisses Lena’s cheek as she snuggles into her side and wraps an arm around her waist.

“I told you we needed to get going.” Lena breathes out.

“I wasn’t going to let your delicious juices go to waste.”

“That may be true, but we’ve waited too long for this surgery.” Lena whispers softly and Emma nods faintly. “I’ll be with you.” Lena kisses the top of Emma’s head and feels her tighten her hold around her.

They lie there for a few more minutes until Lena slides out of bed to get ready. Emma follows soon after her and they quickly shower. Lena being especially firm that there can’t be anymore “funny business.”

Emma shakes her head and smirks after drying herself and strolling into the walk-in wardrobe to pick out some comfy clothes.

“Oh!” Lena’s shocked voice makes Emma spin around. “I’m sorry love!”

Emma tilts her head in confusion.

“Here…” Lena leads Emma to the floor to ceiling mirror and shows Emma her back. Which is littered in scratch marks.

“I am so sorry, I-” She stops as Emma places a finger on her lips and twists her head around to look at her with a smirk appearing on her face.

“I don’t mind.” Emma signs, her grin widening and Lena narrows her eyes slightly.

“You're not going to wear it like some badge of honour are you?”

“Who's going to see?” Emma voicelessly chuckles and tucks a stray strand of hair behind Lena’s ear.

“Just, keep your back to the wall. I don’t need a lecture from Alex about causing you to get an infection before your surgery.” Lena huffs and grabs her jeans, a black top and her ankle boots to change into.

Emma snorts and changes into sweatpants, a white t-shirt and opts to wear her teal boot slippers instead of shoes. Grabbing her Mass Effect hoodie she smiles when she catches Lena’s scent as she places it over her head and rolls her shoulders when she feels her t-shirt rubbing against her tingling back.

She follows her girlfriend out towards the door and picks up the bag she had packed the night before with a change of clothes, a notebook, her Macbook Pro and her chargers.

“Right.” Lena grabs her keys and gazes nervously at Emma. “Are you ready?”

Emma nods weakly and turns her face modifier on, even though the windows in the L-Car are tinted.

Lena turns hers on as well and takes Emma’s hand as they walk to the elevator and to the car.

They drive in silence, both having butterflies zooming around their stomachs. Lena keeps glancing over at the blonde and tightens her hold on the steering wheel. Silently praying that the surgery will work and this nightmare can end.

When they pull into the DEO’s underground parking, Emma doesn’t seem to notice. Too lost in her thoughts to pay attention.

“Love?” Lena says softly and gently places her hand on top of Emma’s, making the blonde jump and turn to gape at her. “Sorry!” Lena quickly apologises and tries to smile. “We’re here.”

Emma looks around and nods. Stiffly getting out of the car and immediately linking hands with Lena as they make their way to the elevators up to the medical floor.

“Here she is!” Doctor Sloan beams at the couple as they approach Emma’s room. Thankfully she is placed in a different room to the first time she was here.

Emma subconsciously squeezes Lena’s hand as she reaches out to shake Doctor Sloan’s.

“Please after you.” Sloan motions for Emma and Lena to walk through the door. Emma looks around the room at her friends and feels touched that they are all there. The only one missing was James, which didn’t bother Emma too much.

“Finally! What took you so long?” Alex asks agitatedly with her arms crossed tightly over her chest.

“Babe.” Sam soothes softly next to her but notices the slight blush creeping upon her best friend’s face and narrows her eyes as she studies Lena closely.

“It doesn’t matter.” Eliza stands and goes to give the two women a hug. “They’re here now.” She turns and looks pointedly at her eldest daughter before turning back to her youngest. “How are you?”

Emma holds her hand out, parallel to the floor and rocks it side to side. “So-so.”

“I bet.” Eliza says sympathetically as she searches her daughter’s eyes. “You look tired sweetheart, did you sleep well?”

Emma automatically nods in response.

“Emma.” Eliza says in a motherly tone.

The blonde sighs and lets go of Lena’s hand, missing her warmth immediately.

“I was sleeping okay until I had a dream that I was running in the forest but it turned into a nightmare but Lena comforted me.” Emma signs and Lena speaks it out so Eliza, and those not knowing sign language yet, understood what Emma was communicating.

“What else happened in this dream?” Nia pipes up, her eyebrows knitted closely together as she stares at Emma.

“Er, if you don’t mind.” Doctor Sloan interrupts the conversation as he holds up the paperwork he needs to go through with Emma. “I would really like to get things moving.”

Nia nods and settles back into the sofa she was sitting on next to Brainy.

“Miss Danvers, if you please.” Doctor Sloan motions at the bed, making Emma swallow deeply as she walks over and sits on it. “Right, let's go through the boring questions. Are you pregnant?”

“Wow! Hey! Does patient confidentiality mean anything to you?!” Alex fumes and Lucy nods in anger.

“Well I thought you are all such a tight knit group that there wouldn’t be any problem. Plus wouldn’t it be a miracle if Emma was pregnant, unless Miss Luthor is hiding something from us?”

While the Doctor defends himself Emma grins into her hand until he turns back to her.

“My apologies Emma, how about we go into Doctor Hamilton’s office and finish these questions there. My lovely assistant will then weigh and measure you and we can get this thing started?”

Emma nods and follows him out of the room, her eyes go back to Lena’s before she is out of sight.

“Why did you recommend him again?” Alex angrily turns on Lucy.

“Hey!” The brunette did not appreciate Alex’s tone. “Because he’s the best Otorhinolaryngologist and Emma needs the best!”

“I’m surprised his head can fit through the door!”

Kara watches as the two heated women in bemusement as she snuggles against Lena on the other sofa.

“How are you?” She asks her best friend.

“Honestly, I’m scared shitless.” Lena responds softly and swallows the nausea building in her throat.

“Me too.” Kara gently takes Lena’s hand.

“I thought I prepared myself enough for this. But I guess nothing can really prepare you.” Lena admits more to herself.

“Yea.” Not knowing what else to say, Kara places their heads together and tries to comfort Lena by placing her arm around her shoulders.

They stay in silence, listening to Alex rant about her dislike for the Doctor and Sam trying to calm the redhead down.

Footsteps alerts Kara that Emma is on her way back and snaps her head up.

“Alex, stop.” Her authoritative tone makes her sister pause, understanding the meaning behind her words.

Emma soon appears holding a hospital gown in her hands.

“Right, Emma, we just need you to change, hop onto the bed and we shall wheel you to the theatre.” A nurse says as she follows behind her with a clipboard.

Emma feels like she is about to throw up and her throat constricts.

“Hey.” J’onn places a comforting hand on her shoulder. “You’ll be okay.”

Emma nods and responds by reaching up and squeezing his hand. ‘Thank you.’

Without thinking Emma faces the window and pulls her hoodie and t-shirt off in one go.

“What the-” Alex starts to comment about the scratches on Emma’s back but Sam elbows her in the ribs. “Ow.” She hisses and shoots a glare over at Lena, who averts her eyes quickly.

Soon Emma is changed into the gown and clumsily gets into the bed. Her nerves making her hands shake slightly.

“Oh sweetheart.” Eliza stands next to the bed and takes her daughter’s shaking hands. “I hope you can feel the amount of love for you in this room right now.”

Emma’s eyes go to each member of the Superfriends and she smiles at each of them, trying to convey her love for them in return.

“There is no place we’d rather be.” Brainy offers sweetly, Winn and Nia nods next to him.

“I know you're scared, but you’ll be fine.” J’onn gives the blonde a big bear hug and Emma holds on tightly to him.

“You’re in great hands.” Lucy offers with a smile when Emma pulls away from J’onn and hugs her as well.

“Why thank you kindly.” Doctor Sloan smiles at Lucy and disengages the lock on the bed, causing Emma to widen her eyes in fear.

“We’ll be here when you wake up.” Alex grabs her other hand and walks with the bed as Kara and Lena jump to their feet to follow.

“Yea and we can snuggle or watch a movie!” Kara offers as she walks by Emma’s feet and smiles reassuringly at her baby sister.

Seeing Lena behind her, Alex lets go of Emma’s hand and lets Lena take her place as Sam walks with her.

They reach the door to the surgical theatre and the medical team stop the bed.

“I’m afraid you can’t come any further.” A nurse says apologetically.

Emma nods and quickly glances up at Lena. “I’ll see you in a minute.” Lena smiles reassuringly but her eyes start to water and she places a tender kiss on Emma’s lips. “I love you.”

Emma squeezes her hand three times before they have to let go as the bed is wheeled through the doors.

Emma feels a pit grow in her stomach as she looks around at the surgical equipment.

“Okay Emma?” A masked Doctor Hamilton asks and places a hand on her arm to comfort her.

Emma sucks in her lips and nods stiffly.

“We are just going to inject the cannula, so you’ll feel a sharp scratch.”

Before Emma can react she feels pressure and a slight jab of pain on top of her hand. The nurse grunting as she pushes it in.

“All done!” Emma can tell the Doctor is smiling at her and tries to give her one back. “Right, I’m going to lay you flat and I just need you to take a few deep breaths for me. You’ll feel a slight warmth enter your hand but that is completely normal.”

Emma nods and is gently lowered. She slowly takes some deep breaths as other members of the medical team prepare around her. As promised she feels a warmth spread through her hand and looks up at the huge light above her.

“Emma, now close your eyes and count to thirty for me.”

Emma takes one last look at Doctor Hamilton and does as she’s told.

‘One.’

‘Two.’

‘Three.’

‘Four.’

‘Five.’

‘Six.’

‘Sev-

-- -- --

“-ma? Emma? Open your eyes for me.” A voice calls out to her and Emma slowly cracks open her heavy eyes. “Hi!” A smiling nurse greets her, Emma realises she is sat up again. “Looks like the surgery went well, but try not to talk okay? There could be some swelling. Are you in pain?”

Emma blinks at her as she tries to understand the words the nurse had just said. Soon it clicks and she nods. Immediately wincing at the pain in her throat. Her throat feels like it's on fire.

The nurse notices and injects pain relief into her cannula. Emma lays her head back. Wanting to fall back to sleep again.

“You can rest if you like, we’re just going to observe you for another half an hour and then wheel you back into your room.”

Emma barely nods before closing her eyes and drifting back to sleep.

The next time she awakens is when she feels the bed being wheeled through the corridors. Raised voices draw her attention as she nears her room.

“-completely and utterly reckless! You could have been seriously hurt!” Emma recognises the anguish in Alex’s voice but she’s still too drowsy to do anything.

“I’m fine!” Kara’s voice yells back. “I’m more concerned with this ‘League of Shadows’, why is everything a league?”

“I would recommend that you stop talking.” Sam’s voice advises and Emma hears nothing but silence along with frustrated breaths.

The bed soon wheels into the room but Emma keeps her eyes closed. Feeling too tired and drowsy to open them.

“How is she?” Eliza immediately asks and Emma turns her face towards her.

“Surgery went well and Doctor Sloan says he will come and do an assessment soon.”

“How long will that be?” Alex quickly asks and Emma licks her lips, realising how thirsty she is.

“About an hour or two.” The voice says before moving away.

“Thank you.” Her Mom calls after her.

“Love?” The back of a gentle hand strokes her cheek. Instinctively Emma turns her face to nuzzle Lena’s embrace. “Can you open your eyes?”

Emma pouts, just wanting to go back to sleep, causing her Mom to chuckle.

“You used to do that when you were a baby.”

“I remember!” Alex snickers and Emma hears her approach the bed. “Then any mention of food would make her eyes shoot open!”

To humour her family Emma snaps her eyes open and focuses on them.

“Ha! It worked again!” Alex beams at her baby sister. “How are you feeling?”

Emma goes to lift her hands to communicate but they fall heavily back onto the bed.

“Oh my baby.” Eliza reaches out and strokes Emma’s blonde hair. “Do you want to go back to sleep?”

Right on cue Emma lets out a silent yawn and her eyes droop.

“It’s okay sweetheart, go back to sleep.” Her Mom coos as she continues to stroke her head.

Emma’s eyes close again and hopes the next time she awakens, she’ll feel more refreshed and alert. And hopefully she will receive the good news that they have all been waiting for.

-- -- --

Lena watches Emma’s eyes close but stays glued by her side.

“Lee?” Sam says behind her and feels a hand push her back down to the seat below her.

“So, let’s go over the assault again.” Alex begins and paces the room.

“Alex, is this really the time?” Eliza sighs out as she watches her daughter.

“Yes Mom it is! This is the first time we’ve had any real breakthrough! And of course it has to happen today, of all the days!” Alex throws her hands up in the air and gazes at her sleeping sister before focusing on Brainy.

“We received an anonymous tip off about alien activity in the eastern outskirts. J’onn and Nia went to verify the claim but upon arriving realised it was an ambush and were able to alert us due to the new designs done by myself, Winn and Lena to break through any jamming device.”

“And then.” Alex turns to Kara, her teeth grinding slightly as she clenches her jaw.

“Sam and I flew to their location, wearing anti kryptonite suits and managed to free them from their confinement.”

“Against my orders.” Alex huffs and crosses her arms tightly over her chest.

“Yes against your orders!” Kara shoots up, her fists rigid by her sides. “They had been taken! Just like we were! It is not coincidence that the tip off came in the same day Emma was having her surgery and-”

Her head snaps to the bed and she watches as Emma’s eyes move under her eyelids.

“Please, can we discuss this later.” Eliza pleads with her daughters. “Or at least in another room! You're going to wake her up.”

With that Alex storms out of the room with Kara, Brainy and Sam following close behind. Leaving Eliza and Lena alone in the room, sitting beside Emma’s bed.

“This was not how I imagined this day to go.” Eliza collapses back into her chair and stares at the bandage covering Emma’s throat. Realising Lena hasn’t responded Eliza shifts her gaze to the raven haired woman who is staring, transfixed at her daughter.

“Lena.” Eliza says softly, but the CEO doesn’t respond. The Danvers matricah stands and goes to sit in the vacant chair next to Lena. “Lena.” She tries again and places a hand on the woman’s shoulder.

Immediately Lena jumps and spins around to see the concern in Eliza’s eyes.

“Sorry, did you say something?” Lena asks and then her eyes scan around the room. “Where’s everyone gone?”

“They were having a… disagreement, and I thought it best they left before they woke Emma.”

“Okay.” Lena nods and turns to look back at her girlfriend. Eliza places another hand on her shoulder before getting up to get them both a cup of coffee. Feeling they will both be needing it.

-- -- --

“-the one surprising thing was how tough Emma’s skin is. I did have to use some force but that was only to break through.” Doctor Sloan’s voice filters through as Emma becomes conscious again.

“And how did it look?” Alex tensely asks.

“Surprisingly good, I mean, with all things considering.”

“And how soon can she start talking and singing again?”

“As I’ve discussed with Emma, and how well the surgery has gone, it will take a good few months before her voice goes above a whisper, she will need to do therapy and maybe have some injections to get the chords up and running again.” Emma hears Doctor Sloan pause. “But we can’t get ahead of ourselves. There still may be a chance this surgery hasn’t worked.”

Emma hears Lena sniff and sluggishly squeezes her hand.

“Love?” She hears Lena’s chair scrape and the bed dips as Lena sits on it. “Can you hear me?”

Emma squeezes her hand once.

“Can you open your eyes?”

Emma sighs and slowly opens them.

“Hey.” Lena smiles lovingly down at her, which brightens when Emma does a cute, little wave.

“Ah! Sleeping beauty is finally awake.” Doctor Sloan says and Emma’s eyes move to find him behind her Mom. “How are you feeling Emma?”

Emma finds she manages to lift her hands to sign. “Drowsy.”

“Yea the anesthetic can do that.” He smiles kindly and moves to get closer. “Okay, I just want to look at the back of your throat, can you open your mouth as wide as you can please?”

He shines the light in her mouth. “Okay, and swallow.” Emma does and winces. “Painful huh?” Emma nods in response. “Okay, I’m just going to feel the sides of your neck, it may be painful but tap me if you need me to stop, okay?” Emma nods again and waits as she continues to hold Lena’s hand tightly. There is pain but Emma breathes through it. Trying to push the voices that fill her mind and dismiss the blackened edges around her vision. Grounding herself on Lena’s hand as she rubs her thumb over the back of hers.

“All done, feels good.” Doctor Sloan writes some notes down and Emma tries to keep her breathing controlled. “Okay, moment of truth. Very softly and please don’t push it, but try and say something or make a noise.”

Emma’s eyes flick around the room at the apprehensive but hopeful expressions of her family and friends. She takes a deep breath and opens her mouth.
