Mercury // S. Rogers (Book Five) ?

"Mayday, mayday! Does anybody copy?! We're on the lower level! It's flooding!"

Freya groans as she comes to. The voice in her earpiece shaking her from her unconsciousness.

"We are drowning! Does anybody copy?! Mayday!"

Rhodey's second cry for help makes her eyes fly wide open. But she can't see anything. Enveloped by darkness, her own hand isn't even visible in front of her face.

"Wait! I'm here! I'm here! Can you hear me?" Scott calls out.

"Yes! Help, please! We've got water pouring in and we're trapped!" Rhodey begs.

"I'm on my way!"

Freya breathes a sigh of relief, knowing that Scott is on his way to help Rhodey and whoever is trapped with him. She attempts to move, but screams out in pain when she does. Her leg is immovable and pain is radiating up from her ankle. Knowing she needs light, she ignites her aura. Illuminating the pocket she's in under the rubble. Looking down, she sees her foot trapped under a large piece of debris. Not only that, but it's visibly twisted at an odd angle. She knows for sure that her ankle is broken. A sigh of relief escapes her when Steve reaches out over their link.

Freya! Can you hear me?!

"Yeah, I'm here!"

Oh, thank God! Where are you?

"I'm not sure. I'm trapped under some rubble. I'm working on getting myself out now. Are you okay?"

I'm fine. I've got Tony and Thor with me. Are you hurt?

"My ankle. It's broken. I'll be fine, though."

Let me find you and I'll get you o-

"No. Don't worry about me. I'll be okay."

But, Frey-

"Steve, no! I know Thanos is out there. I can feel it. You've gotta make sure he doesn't get the stones. I'll be right behind you."

Are you sure?

"Yes! Now, go!"

Yes, ma'am.

She rolls her eyes at his response and looks back down at her ankle. Assessing the damage and planning her escape. Eyeing the debris around her, she knows that if she moves one piece, the whole thing will completely collapse on her. The only way out requires her to move everything together.

A crack of thunder echoes throughout the compound. Freya smirks, knowing that Thor is gearing up for battle.

Taking a deep breath, she closes her eyes and lets the familiar surge of her powers flow through her. Throwing up her arms, she pushes her energy out toward the debris in an attempt to move it. The rubble shifts and groans, but doesn't move much. She keeps pushing, but the rubble is only moving a little bit at a time.

An overwhelming feeling of anxiety and anger hits her as the sound of a fight from outside filters through the rubble. She can feel Steve's emotions as he engages Thanos with her dad and uncle.

Panic fills her, knowing she has to get outside and help. With a yell, her eyes glow and her aura brightens as she pushes her arms out again. This time, the debris goes flying in all directions and she's finally able to see. Eyeing her surroundings, she notices she had been thrown through the wall and into the lounge on the other side of the lab. Averting her gaze to her right ankle, she reaches down and takes a few deep breaths before twisting it back into place with an agonized scream.
