Rain (formally called wrong number x avengers)

seventy-one: numb

"Its ok Y/n, just stay with me" he repeats picking me up and running to the nearest hospital.

-time skip-

I open my eyes and flinch at the sound of my machines beeping. I sit up and see Pietro asleep on the chair next to me. I pull the blanket down and see my stomach and leg stitched up, and bandaged.

"Y/n?" Pietro says groggily, I smile faintly and he hugs me.

"you scared me, I can't loose you too" he whispers. I feel tears building up in my eyes, but before I can say anything my phone starts ringing, I pull away and reach for my phone, which is on the side table and answer it

"Hello?" I ask

"Y/n is that you?" Tony asks voice strained

"yes its me Tony, what's wrong are you ok?" I ask concerned, I hear him sniff and laugh

"am I ok?, we just saw the news of a shooting by the park you were at" he says. I stay silent, does he know about F/n? or that I was shot?

"Y/n? did you see what happened?" he asks

"yeah.. Tony they shot at Pietro, F/n and me" I say. He goes silent. I hear Steve come onto the phone

"Y/n are you ok? Is F/n with you is she ok?" I look up at Pietro who is looking at my bandaged leg avoiding eye contact

"um I am ok, but Steve are you guys nearly home?" I ask trying my best not to let my voice waver

"Y/n what's wrong you sound upset? Also we are at a Shield base, we have to stay a couple of days for the mission... why?" he says.

"um Steve.... F/n..." I start but my words get stuck in my throat as I try to process the best way to tell him, so I breakdown in tears.

"wh-what about her is she ok?" Steve says voice shaky. I take a deep breath

"Steve she's gone" I say sadly. He goes silent

"Gone as in kidnapped?" he asked, even though I know he knows what I mean

"no Steve I mean, she was shot and she is dead. I am so sorry Steve I tried bu-" I get cut of by the sound of Steve crying, and handing the phone off

"Y/n baby who did this" Tony asks.

"I don't know, Tony I- I don't know" I say, on the verge of crying again

"that's ok, hey its ok. At least you and Pietro are safe at the tower?" he says softly knowing I am about to cry. Pietro starts crying and leaves the room

"Tony I don't think it was Hydra though, because they don't want to kill me they want to use me. But these guys, they were ruthless and didn't plan to take me they planned to kill me"

"well that didn't go their way did it" he says I hesitate in replying making him nervous

"did it Y/n?. Oh please tell me they didn't hurt you" he says worried.

"um I am ok now, when are you coming home?" I ask

"noW? what do you mean?" A doctor walks in unaware that I am on the phone

"Ok Ms L/n I see that you are awake, we have stitched up your wounds, and honestly you are lucky to be alive. You got here just in time" he says and I cringe knowing Tony heard that.

"Thank you Doctor, do you mind checking on my friend he just walked out" I say, they nod and leave

"we are on our way home" Tony says and hangs up. I sigh and lay back down.

I stare at the ceiling and think back on what happened, the image of her laying there with a bullet in her forehead stuck in my mind, as I drift of to sleep. Probably due to the medication.

-time skip 2 hours later-

I wake up abruptly, terrified, sweat dripping of my face

I look around and see that I am in the medical ward of the tower.

I feel my hand being squeezed and look to Pietro who is sitting there silently

"I moved you here, after you fell asleep. The team will be home soon, they all know about F/n and about you getting shot by the way" he says. I nod

"F/n's body, was recovered it is laying in a separate room" I nod, feeling my heart break. I had hoped it was just a bad dream, the whole thing.

"Y/n I'm sorry I didn't know what to do, I just grabbed you and took off" he rambles. I squeeze his hand getting his attention back

"Pietro its ok. Its not your fault" I say. he smiles faintly

"Y/n I am glad to see you are awake and healing" Jarvis says. I look up

"Thanks J, do you know who was behind the attack?" I ask

"You were right in thinking it was not Hydra, it was an old division of hydra who left after the knowledge of you and your brother came to surface. They have been against gifted people and especially your family" he says. I close my eyes and let tears fall down my cheek.

"thanks J"

I let go of Pietro's hand and push the blankets aside and slowly get out of bed. Pietro helps me get out and hold me up as we walk out of the medical ward and toward the kitchen.

"Piet do you want something to eat?" I ask he nods. I start walking without his help and make a sandwich for him and myself. I gave him his sandwich and we sat on the couch and ate quietly. I remember when F/n and I use to always make sandwiches and I especially remember when we were working down in our lab and we ate sandwiches.

I start crying and Pietro looks at me and hugs me tightly.

"The team has arrived home" Jarvis announces I separate from Pietro and I start walking out to meet them, more like limping, but I don't care I just want to see my friends.

When I see Steve with red eyes he walks to me and pulls me in for a tight hug. I hug him back and cry into his shoulder.

"I can't believe she's gone" he whispers, tearing up.

"I know" I say. And those words of confirmation were enough to leave me feeling completely numb...
