You nodded silently.

"And stay safe, Y/N," he said in a softened tone. "Don't be reckless and get yourself hurt. We can't afford for that to happen."

"I could say the same for you, too," you rolled your eyes as you cracked a small grin. "Don't die, Steve, or I'll resurrect you before killing you myself."

With that, you two parted ways and you sprinted up towards the top floor. This was luckily a small base, so you only had to sprint up one flight of stairs and were grateful it wasn't one of those 6-story buildings that you had to take down with the team. You swore you couldn't feel your legs afterwards.

Taking down the HYDRA soldiers wasn't as hard as you expected, but as all missions had, there were always a few who bit back and took more effort to knock out.

You shot a fireball straight at one's chest as you ducked to narrowly miss a bullet whizzing over your head.

It didn't take long to find the SHIELD hostages. Once you'd freed them of their chains they immediately went to grab their weapons, splitting off into different directions to take down any more soldiers on the level, nodding a quick thanks to you before leaving.

"Y/N," Steve put his hand over his comm, "did you get them?"

"I got em," you responded, "the hostages are already making their way over to the rendezvous point. I got two going to plant the explosives so we need to hurry, because I don't think we have much time left before this place blows. Did you clear a path yet?"

"Just finished. Can you get down here? I need some backup."

"I'm coming," you breathed out, sprinting downstairs and using your katana against any guards that crossed your path along the way.

You heard several shouts and gunshots as you rounded the corner, seeing Steve thrust his shield and swing it out, knocking multiple guards unconscious at once until you noticed several more approaching from behind him and you lifted them into the air, purple light emanating from your fingers and slamming them against the wall.

"Hurry. We have five minutes," Steve shouted over the noise as he tugged you behind him, thrusting the shield over your heads to protect the both of you from a grenade tossed in your direction.

Once that was done for, you stood back up and looked around for any more guards and when you deemed it safe, you motioned for Steve and the two SHIELD members who'd just finished planting the explosives coming back downstairs to follow you out the southeast entrance.

"Cap," one of the SHIELD members called out from the Quinjet, "we have two minutes! You must hurry."

"Go, go, go!" Steve pushed you towards the exit and you sprinted out of the building. "We don't have much time left!"

It all seemed to happen in slow motion from there.

One moment, you were running beside Steve.

Then there was a gunshot, and silence following not long after.

Steve whipped around to see you on the ground, holding a hand up against your abdomen with blood seeping through your suit and staining your hands, and as your vision began blurring at the edges and feeling as if the world was spinning, you attempted to stand back up, but failed, slumping back down to the ground. He looked up to see one of the HYDRA agents that had escaped with a gun, and quickly used your gun to shoot them before lifting you up.

You didn't really have any energy left to protest when he scooped you up into his arms and held you close to his chest, sprinting the rest of the way back to the jet and quickly setting you down once you'd boarded. Steve knew that he didn't have much time left before you were gone for good, as he could already see the light slowly but surely fading from your eyes and it took him all he had left to fight back the tears upon seeing you so close to death.
