~~ELLIE
I landed in front of Bucky with a huge burn that engulfed my uniform as I laid there limp, my eyes were wide and I was struggling to breathe. Steve continued to fight Stark while I heard Bucky's grunts as he tried to crawl towards me with just one arm. Soon I felt Bucky's weight brace the remains of my right shoulder as his hand braced my cheek turning me to look at him. I could see pain, fear and agony fill his blue eyes just he did 75 years ago after I got shot by Schmidt.
"Stay with me El...come on little bird...I'm right here. Come on little bird...keep your eyes on me." He whispered as I felt a tear stream across my eye while small gasps escaped from my lips struggling to take in any air.
"I'm...sorry..." I choked he kept shaking his head no at me while his blue eyes were now glistening with tears though he was fighting them.
"Don't worry about that right now...just hang on." He smiled weakly I tried to move but my body was too limp to do anything.
"I...I love...you too." I whispered feeling the world start to clog around me until it was replaced with darkness.
"NO ELLIE!!!" Bucky screamed in my ears until everything around me was drowned out and I felt nothing.
~~STEVE
Angrily I threw everything I had at Stark for what he just did and he was unable to match any of my moves. Soon he caught my shield flinging it free from my grip and his foot pushed my body backwards into the wall. With the adrenaline spiking I forced myself to my feet feeling some blood drizzled down the side of my face as I saw I was in front of Ellie and Bucky. Bucky was cradling Ellie's body in his grip; pain was in his eyes as I saw she was laying there with both eyes closed. Was she dead? Anger hit me again as I turned to Stark who was getting ready to finish the job on Bucky.
"They're my friends." I hissed standing up preparing my fists for any more strikes that Tony wanted to unleash onto me.
"So was I." Tony reminded watching him throw a punch at me until I blocked it and he threw another pushing me into the wall. My body rose again holding up both fists again and felt my legs wobble slightly underneath me. "Stay down. Final warning."
"I can do this all day." I answered watching Tony lift his left hand with his energy propeller again though I knew he had no more power inside to use at me. Soon I saw Bucky's hand grab Tony's foot as the pain was replaced with anger in his eyes, he wanted to fight for what he did to Ellie but Tony's scoff. He slammed his foot into Bucky's face sending him back to Ellie who was still limp on the floor. Charging I tackled Stark into my arms lifting him over my head and threw him to the floor. Hovering over him I threw multiple punches at him until I grabbed my shield that was close by and it ripped his face mask from his face. Holding up the shield he braced his hands up thinking I was going for his face I actually hit power core causing his suit to power down. Rolling off him I saw Tony was terrified as I moved towards him taking my shield that was pushed into the metal and removed it from Tony's chest.
I turned to face Ellie and Bucky who was holding her in his grip again, bending down I slinked both arms underneath Ellie and pushed her body into my arms. Her head collided into my chest as I grabbed Bucky's remaining hand and hoisted him up to his face which he used my body to support himself. I knew I had to get them both out of here; they both needed medical attention for there injuries as I left Stark behind me.
"That shield doesn't belong to you. You don't deserve it. My father made that shield!" Tony yelled from behind me as I stopped removing the harness on my wrist that the shield usually sat on and let it fall to the floor by my feet. With Bucky limping slightly by my side, Ellie laying limp in my arms and I moved through the tunnel leaving Tony behind us. We exited the facility as I saw Prince T'Challa standing in front of the Quinjet, he was unmasked and I saw Bucky was tense though he couldn't fight anymore.
"Your highness...please." I began which Prince T'Challa held up his one hand to silence me as he moved closer to us. He glanced down at Ellie while I saw Bucky prepare himself in case he tried anything.
"Come with me...I can save them." He replied I was surprised by this seeing Prince T'Challa remove something from his wrist and pressed it into Ellie's chest. A gasp escaped from her lips giving Bucky and I both a sigh of relief that she was still breathing. "That won't last long...come with me...I'll take care of them." I gave Bucky a nod while we headed to the Quinjet with Prince T'Challa sitting into the pilot seat.
"Where are you taking us?" I asked laying Ellie onto Bucky's lap on the floor while his hand held her close to him.
"To my homeland." He answered I didn't know what to say because the moment he spoke the jet was already in the air. I looked back at the facility seeing a small tint of red and yellow staring at us.
"I'm sorry Tony..." I whispered before turning back to Ellie and Bucky seeing my best friend stroke the fallen blonde strands from the girl I love's face. I knew now that I was gonna have to make a very hard decision and I had to make it soon.
~~That was so heartbreaking...Steve had officially turned his back on Tony and Ellie is close to death, brb gotta go deal with this.~~
