she’s bulletproof. that’s what they’ve said anyway, but it’s little more than clichéd phrasing ( did they say that to captain america, too? ). over played, over used. truth was the SHIELD doctors, the scientists, the r&d department, knew nothing about her the concoction coursing through her veins, imbued down to her very dna, was little more than an enigma. she’s a fluke born of the love of a grieving ex-husband and little else.
gloved hands clamped down around the wound, pain like a lightning bolt jolting up her arm and to her shoulder, weaving around the trapezius toward her head. bobbi attempted to regulate her breathing, slow, paced intakes through her nose and languid exhales through her mouth.
❛ least it’s not my shooting arm, right? ❜
her tone was upbeat, stark contrast to the situation. the firefight cooled, shell casings peppering the ground behind their alcove, and she smiled.
an expletive fleeing his lips that she’d been shot could just barely be heard --- his mind providing some reason or way he could’ve prevented it. ❛ stay put. ❜
his tone was flat, even if concern spiked it like liquor in a punch bowl; he didn’t mean it to sound so domineering, but he didn’t want her hurt further. this was far from his first firefight, and less so his first in working with those among shield’s growing staff --- the only first of this situation? this was the first mission he’d had with anyone other than natasha or clint. shifting his weight, he took a dare and peered just enough over what gave him cover to gather a view of the state of warehouse, his trigger finger itched into the ready should he need to fire.
❛ --- we got what we need, right? ❜ the hail of bullets that had rained prior had come to a strange, abnormal slow. if they had what they came for, though, he imagined getting out of here was the next best step. especially with bobbi’s current injury... and if they could get out of here with only one of them injured at this point, that would be more than optimal. ❛ … i think i can get to the first aide kit to get at least a makeshift sling for you...? ❜
he flashed her a vague smile as the silence had him dropping behind cover once more.
