Should have Taken the Shot Part 2

Part 1: 

Plot: Yelena is trying to figure out her next move, while you try and survive being captured by Hydra. Being separated from each other is harder than either of you thought it would be. 

A/N: OMG I am overwhelmed by the love I got for the first part. I am a new writer and new to marvel. But not new to fanfiction, I have been reading stuff for years. For some reason, I got an urge to write some ideas I had in my mind and I am excited to share them. 

I see this story having multiple parts as Yelena tries to rescue the reader and the reader learns more about the past. I’m rewatching Agent’s of S.H.E.I.L.D so will be taking some ideas from them (in humans, Powers, and characters)

I don’t think there will be much smut but expect some blood, violence, and torture.

Also, give me suggestions! Let me know where you would like the story to go or send me prompts for other stories!

Anyways here is part 2. 

Yelena: 

“Start from the beginning, don’t leave any details out,” said Steve calmly. He was sitting at a table across from Yelena in one of the mission debrief rooms at the Avengers compound. Beside Yelena was her sister Natasha, she had a hand on the younger widow’s shoulder trying to offer comfort. Normally Yelena would retract from this type of affection but lately since being with you she was opening up more. This affection made Yelena briefly remember the first time you two had kissed in public. 

You never pushed her to be affectionate, you knew that she was taught that showing those types of emotions were signs of weakness.  However, you couldn’t resist showing affection yourself. You had never had a serious relationship before and always felt envious when you would see couples strolling around hands intertwined stealing the occasional passionate kiss. 

The first time you kissed her in front of the other Avengers caught Yelena off guard. She was extremely focused on eating some macaroni and you had just come into the dining hall approaching her from behind.  You had initially planned to just kiss her cheek as you hadn’t actually kissed her full on the lips in front of the others and didn’t know if she was ready for that step. She had just put a huge spoonful of macaroni in her mouth when she quickly turned her head as she heard you behind her.  Her sudden movement caused your lips not to land on her cheek like you had intended but instead on her lips. You could taste the macaroni and could feel her lips move slightly as she gulped the macaroni down. Instead of pulling back she then deepened the kiss, dropped the fork in her hand to put it on your waist pulling you closer. She let out a quiet moan.  This certainly caught the attention of the other Avengers. Natasha who was reading a book looked up shocked to see this PDA, while Clint and Bucky both chuckled. Tony who was also eating some macaroni took the opportunity to tease Yelena. Asking her if the moan was for her girlfriend or the tasty meal. She turned bright red quickly. Teasing aside, Tony had grown fond of you and you seem to have a gift for handling his eccentric personality and enjoyed helping him with his inventions. He was like an uncle figure to you and was happy you and Yelena were together. 

That kiss felt like it happened decades ago, Yelena started to tear up as the memory cleared from her mind and she refocused on what Steve had asked her. 

“It’s okay Yelena, just tell us what happened,” Natasha said, noticing her sister was tearing up. 

“It was a setup,” Yelena said as restarted to report what happened. “Our mission file told Y/N and I the building was to be abandoned, it was supposed to be simple in and out. I didn’t even have to deactivate any security” 

“I looked for the file, I couldn’t find it,” Steve stated.

“It was there it was sent to our phones like always, I don’t understand” Yelena replied 

“Someone must have hacked into our systems” Natasha reasoned “Continue telling us what happened” 

“There was no sign of anyone when we entered the building, we made our way up a few floors to where the computer we were supposed to access was.  I had heard a sound and my instinct told me to duck so I told Y/N to drop” Yelena continued.  Natasha and Steve were holding on to her every word. 

“We saw a man I presume a Hydra agent dressed in black shooting at us and running away.  Y/N said we should split up so I chased after him while she went to cut him off” Yelena could feel her heart racing as told them what happened.  As she told the story she was trying to take in every detail to see if there was something she should have noticed that could have prevented you from being taken. 

“As I chased after him it was weird, all the doors on the other floors we had been on were unlocked as Y/N and I walked around. But as he ran away and went through certain doors they would lock behind him.   It took me forever to either knock them down or find another way. He must have had a security pass or had done something to the doors.”

“If he was waiting for you he probably planned this, it seems like he wanted to get y/n alone” 

Natasha said.  Yelena nodded and continued telling the store.  She tried her best to remember each detail but as she got to the part where she saw you being taken away her voice started to break and her report started getting more emotional. 

“She was in handcuffs and just walking with him. I don’t understand why she didn’t struggle, she didn’t answer her coms. When had a decent shot of him when their backs were turned to me as they walked away.   But I missed.” She now hung her head.  Missing a shot wasn’t something she was use to.  “Idk why I missed I should have calculated the shot or done some thing more”

“It’s hard when we see our love ones in danger, knowing that y/n was in danger would have been tough” Natasha said 

“But we are trained to focus on the mission Nat, there was no excuse to miss.  Then when they turned around y/n told me to take the shot.  This time I couldn’t even take the shot I just froze. She was asking me to save her, she needed me to save her. But I fucking froze Natasha! I could have made that shot and now because I was too weak Y/N is gone.”

Steve hated seeing Yelena beat herself up like this, he knew she probably could have taken the shot but that didn’t matter right now. “It’s okay Yelena, it was a difficult call to make. Things can always go wrong, if you weren’t comfortable taking the shot you shouldn’t have” he did his best to console her. 

“Y/n is with some bad guy because of me, this is my fault. I was her partner on that mission I should have been able to take that shot. Y/n is probably scared, if that was Hydra that took her who knows what they could be doing to her right now,” Yelena had shrugged Natasha’s hand off her shoulder and was now standing. She could feel her heart aching, so much regret was filling her chest it was getting difficult to breathe. 

“Y/n is strong, she is one of the best agents we have. I am sure she can handle herself until we find her. Tony is working on figuring out how we got hacked, while Clint is looking to see if there is a reason Y/N was taken. We also got Bucky reaching out to our contacts to see if they have heard anything. We will find her.” Natasha said. 

Yelena couldn’t handle it anymore, she was struggling to keep it together.  It was one thing to show affection but to show this fear this vulnerability was something she had not done even with you yet. She retreated to her room, there she saw a messy bed. She and you had slept in and were rushing to get dressed, so the bed never got made earlier that day. She laid down and grabbed the pillow on your side. It still smelled like you, she then stopped holding back her tears and cried for the first time in forever.  

_______________________________________________________________________

Back to Y/n 

You woke with a jerk, opening your eyes you could see you were no longer in the car.  Your head hurt, and you had a vague memory of the man who captured you injecting a drug into your neck at some point during the drive.  Probably to ensure you didn’t see where you were headed.  

Looking around you started scanning your surrounding.  You were on a cot in a cell, it was decently clean which was nice. The walls were brick and the door leading out to the cell was metal, with a small cut-out window that had a metal grid over it.  You got up and went to take a look outside your cell. Hydra seemed to really want the prisoners to know that they were at a Hydra base as their logo was plastered on the hallway outside your cell. “Great” you thought “this is not a cool place to locked up”

You walked around the small cell trying to see if there was a way out but quickly landed on the conclusion that escaping was going to be unlikely. Hydra knew how to build a good cell it seems, got to give them credit when it was due. 

Suddenly you heard jingles of keys and turned to see the door swing open.  In came the man who you had met at the abandoned building with two other men. He was now wearing a different combat suit this one had the word “Scorch” stitched on the upper sleeve and the Hydra logo on the left peck. 

“Scorch? Was that the last name? A nickname?,” You thought.  

Your attention turned to the other men, they were solidly built and had large machine guns in their hands. You debated trying to fight your way out. 3 against 1 you probably could have handed. You had top marks in combat at the Shield academy however with no weapon and knowing that this Scorch dude has some superpowers you didn’t like your odds.

He started talking “Y/N, it’s nice to see you up, I apologize for the mandatory nap. But it is Hydra protocol to …”

“Why am I here,” you cut him off.

“Straight to the point I see. Hydra is here to offer you an opportunity, a gift if you will.” He said

“Don’t gift usually come with a bow, can this one be returned ” you sniped back. Your girlfriend was the queen at sarcasm and it seems you had pick up on her talent. 

“Oh you won’t want to return this gift. What do you know about your parents y/n?” He asked 

“Nothing, i was abandoned at a police station when I was a baby. I was brought to an orphanage and then grow up in the foster system. There is no records of them and I never thought of finding them,” You had told this story too many people before. You didn’t have any anger about it, you never really felt mad at your parents.  It didn’t make sense to you to be mad at someone you don’t know. As well, the logical part of you had always thought perhaps they were poor or in a bad situation. They must have cared enough since they made sure you were safe and took the risk of dropping you off at the Police.  You were grateful for that.

“Well, your mother and father were actually running away from Hydra. They had rejected our offers of power and opportunity. Hydra eventually found them but it has taken some time for us to find you” Scorch said.

So many thoughts start swimming in your head. Your mother and father were running away from Hydra? Why was they running away? Were they still alive?

As if he was reading your thoughts Scorch continued “While Hydra is generous we do sometimes have to take matters into our own hands especially with those who take our gifts and run. Hopefully you won’t be like your mother and meet the same fate.”

Your heart sank. When you were younger you would sometimes wonder where your parents were. Like any orphan you sometimes times dream of them showing up one day, offer you some perfect explanation of why they had to leave you but tell you that ever day they dreamed about getting you back and that today was the day that dream would come true. But dead?  You had never imagined them being dead. At first you didn’t really know how to feel, perhaps shock is was the initial reaction but then you noticed your heart feeling sad. But how could you be sad for someone you didn’t even know let alone remember.

“Why were you after them?” You asked 

“Well you see y/n, you, your parents and I are special. Have you ever noticed something special about you?” 

You shock you head no

“You were top of your class for a reason y/n. It’s your DNA, you are not exactly human” he said with a dramatic pause “ in fact you are inhuman”

Okay this guy is off his rocker you thought. Not human? You have never felt like you were an alien. Sure you found things at the Acedemy easy, yes you were stronger and faster than most people but that didn’t mean you weren’t human. You were just athletic You were not like Thor and could control thunder. 

“Have you heard of inhumans y/n,” once again you shook you head no.

“We will teach you more about them later. But the fact is you come from a long line of some of the most powerful inhuman. Once you go through the teragenosis process the power you will process will make you a wonderful soldier of Hydra”

“Okay you must be stupid to think I would join Hydra. You can’t force people to join things.”

“Perhaps, your mother wasn’t a willing participant however since then we have gotten a bit better at controlling our mind. I think you know one of our products the winter soldier.  We are working on improving things with the help of the Red Room.”

Yelena had told you about the mind control the Red room used.  But she and Natasha had ended Dreykov and the Red room was done. They couldn’t be helping hydra. 

“So the choice is really yours, join us willingly or join us unwillingly.” 

“Is there a third option?” You said half sarcastically half hoping there might be. 

“Sadly for you no, but we have had a few delays on filling getting the red room mind control serum to work perfectly so you will have some time to think about your choice. But until then we can get started on your transformation.” He said and then went to take something out of your pocket.  It was a simple rock like rod.  He then motioned to the guards who started to leave the room. Thinking this might be your last chance to escape whatever was about to happen next you did something bold.  You full on tackled Scorch, this caught the guards by surprised and on instinct they turned and fired their gun blindly. One bullet grazed you stomach but you ignored the pain. You got up and dashed past them through the door but then you were stopped in the hall when suddenly a blaze of fire passed by you and formed a wall of fire blocking your path.  You stopped running knowing you were defeated. 

Scorch walked down the hall towards you with a stern face. He didn’t enjoy your little effort to escape. 

“Y/n, you will regret thinking you can get the better of me, do you really think you could escape? Accept your fate, and just join us willingly.  The power you are about to possession will me astonishing. I can be your mentor.”  He was now face to face to you, you weren’t sure why you decided to make your next move but you spit on his face. 

“I’ll never join hydra, it dosn’t matter what power you offer me” you said all though your confident voice died near the end as you saw his eyes turn red from anger.

His fist moved quickly and met your check. Your vision was blurry and you were knocked to the ground.  He then put his hand on you stomach were the bullet grazed your skin.  

“We should stop the bleeding. Let me help,” he said sinisterly. You suddenly felt blinding pain, he was burning you. You let out a scream and tried to pull away. But he had a firm grip and the two other guards had moved at some point to hold you down. Although they weren’t needed for long as you passed out quickly from the pain.

Should have Taken the Shot

Been working on a few stories and decided to take down the one I had started as I wanted to rework it alittle. However I wrote this quickly as I was procrastinating studying. 

Let me know what you think. 

Plot: Yelena and Reader go on a mission but find out it is a set up. Yelena is faced with a hard choice to make. 

Warnings: None for this part, if this does well I will write more. 

Part 1: 

“It’s okay Yelena, take the shot!” You screamed as you struggled against a large man who stood behind you. You could feel his hot breath against your neck as he gripped your body close to his, using you as a human shield. He pointed a gun at your head.

Your girlfriend was in a window of an abandoned building, pointing the gun at the man who dragged you backward on an empty street slowing making his way to the truck. 

You could tell Yelena was scared although she was trying not to show it. Her face was stern, and her hands were steady as her gun tracked, debating what her next move should be. 

“Agent Y/L/N and I will be leaving now.” the man said “Don’t do anything stupid or Agent Y/L/N’s blood will be on your hands” 

The mission was supposed to be simple, go inside the abandoned building and grab some intel on the computers there before Hydra could.  Unfortunately, the two of you ran into some unsuspected company, a Hydra Agent.  

The start of the mission you two had been relaxed, perhaps too relaxed. 

“We should go shopping after this mission,” Yelena said casually as the two of you approached the room where the computers were supposed to be.  You were told the building was abandoned and you didn’t even have to worry about security systems so neither of you suspected there any anyone else and were just casually walking down the hall. 

“Don’t you have enough vests Yelena?” you chuckled. 

“There is no such thing as to many vests y/n” Yelena replied “Plus I thought maybe we should get you one since you are always stealing mine” 

“We could but I will still be stealing yours,” you said 

“Why y/n?” Yelena asked 

“Just because” you stated. You were too embarrassed to say you liked wearing her vest because it smelled like her and made you feel good. Yelena and you had just started officially dating a couple of months ago and this was both your first real relationship. You were still shy when talking about these things. 

“Whatever, but I still think we should go shopping for…” Yelena said before she frozen 

The former black widow must have heard something you didn’t as she screamed “get down”. 

Gunshots were firing down the hallway as a man in dark combat gear ran down the hallway. Thankfully he missed as both you and Yelena were totally unprepared. 

“What the heck, where did he come from,” you said to Yelena as you got up from the floor. 

“I’m not sure, perhaps hydra beat us to the intel. We have to go after him” Yelena replied.

“You follow him, I’ll see if I can find a way to cut him off. He must have a getaway car at the back of the building as there was nothing when we came through the front�� you yelled as you started to head towards a stairwell. 

Yelena nodded as she quickly chased after the agent. She was the faster one of you two and you had every confidence she would catch up to him. 

You were still new to Shield but were kind of known as a prodigy. Being top of your class Phil Coulson had let you work with the Avengers a few times. That is how you met Yelena she had joined the Avengers after freeing all the other black Widows. The first time you saw her she was fighting with her sister Natasha and you knew you were in love. You couldn’t remember what they were fighting about but whatever it was about Yelena was clearly losing.  Natasha was trying to get her to admit she was wrong but Yelena refused, she had spunk and determination. You admired the fire she had as you had always been more reserved, having grown up in the foster system you were used to following orders and almost never fought with your siblings or parents.  

Rushing down the stairs you had made it to the ground floor where you heard someone running near buy.  Taking your gun out now you followed the noises.  

“Yelena, he’s on the first floor” you whispered into your coms. 

“Okay I’m still on the 2nd floor, I got lost. Will be there soon” Yelena replied 

Making your way down the hall you see the man run into a room near the end of the hallway. Your heart started beating fast as you knew you were close, why did he not find an exist you thought. Gun raised you quickly barge into the doorway of the room. There you see the Agent with his gun also raised, he was waiting for you. 

“Agent Y/L/N, I’ve been waiting for you,” he said in a deep voice. 

“Waiting for me what do you mean?” you asked 

“Hydra needs you, so I was sent to capture you” he replied. His gun was still drawn one of his hands to one of his pockets

“Why does Hydra need me?” You asked “Don’t move!” you said sternly 

“Do you know who your parents are?” He asked, ignoring you he continued to move his hand now taking an object out of the pocket. 

“Why does that matter” you replied, caught off guard. You don’t often think of your parents. As far as you were concerned you were abandoned as a baby for whatever reason. 

“Oh it matters a great deal” he smirked knowingly. The object he had gotten was a phone, he unlocked it and then showed you the screen.  You look and saw an image of the building you were in and on the screen was some numbers. “Here is what is going to happen Agent Y/LN, I am going to get a pair of handcuffs out and you are going to put them on. Then we are going to go through the back door and make our way to the car out back.” 

“Why would I do that?” you asked. What is this guy playing at you thought? 

“As I said, I have been waiting for you, the intel you received to come here was sent by me. This was a setup to capture you. If you don’t comply I have a missile aimed at our location.  Resist and I will blow this building up killing you and killing your friend there” he said calmly. 

Your mind starts racing. How was this a setup, why does he want me that badly? Could he be bluffing? You took a closer look at the screen, you didn’t know much about nukes, there was no way for you to be confident that he was lying. 

“You wouldn’t do that, you would die as well,” you said trying to call his bluff. 

“Wrong,” he said quickly as though he was prepared for you to ask that. He put his phone away and then held his hand out with his palm up.  Suddenly a flame formed in his hand.

“What” you gasped stunned to this man produce fire 

“You and I are alike y/n, we have powers that Shield doesn’t dare allow us to wield. Mine allows me to produce fire and survive explosions. That missile will not kill me. Now do as I said, put your gun down and allow me to handcuff you or but you and your friend will be gone in 5 seconds” 

The mention of Yelena made your heart hurt. You wish she was here, she would know what to do. But you were also relieved she wasn’t here. This agent apparently knows something about you and you worry perhaps your past wasn’t what it seemed like and you didn’t want to lose her. With a sigh, you put the gun down on the floor and turn around. You felt the cold metal of the handcuffs around your wrists. The agent then started guiding you to exist the building. 

“y/n status,” Yelena said in the coms. You didn’t know how to reply so didn’t. 

“y/n status, I’m down on the first floor now, some of the doors are locked. I’m sorry it’s been taking me so much time” She continued. 

You and the agent had now made your way out too of the building and you saw a black truck a short distance away.  

You walked try thinking if you should say something to Yelena, but before you could you heard her in the comms gasp 

“y/n?” she said in shock. A second later a few gunshots came from the building. You were quickly moved as the agent pivoted around to face the building, you in front of him. 

“It was a setup Yelena,” you said in the comms “He wanted me here”. Before you could hear her reply the agent quickly took the comm out of your ear and then pointed the gun to your head. 

You and the Agent were close to the truck now. You knew Yelena was debating if she could make the shot or not. It would be a hard shot to make as the distance between you two was at least 50 yards but you knew she was skilled enough to make the shot. 

“It’s okay Yelena, take the shot!” you yelled she had to take the shot now or you were going to be driving away in the truck to only god knew where. You’ve heard of the horrible things Hydra did to prisoners and were terrified. But she didn’t move. 

“Agent Y/L/N and I will be leaving now.” the man said “Don’t do anything stupid or Agent Y/L/N’s blood will be on your hands” 

“Just shoot” you yell more desperate but again she stay still. Unknown to you she was struggling, in any other circumstance she would take that shot but just the thought of the consequences of missing her target had her frozen. A slight miss calculation and she could hit you. For someone who was usually confident and bold, she didn’t know what to do. 

You were now at the car and heard the door open. 

“Get in!” The man said his gun still pointed at you. You didn’t move, hoping that Yelena would take the shot.  Suddenly you were smacked with the man’s gun, he was losing patience. You got in the back and heard the door close. 

Through the window Yelena watched you get smacked and driven away. Her heartfelt heavy as she thought 

“I should have taken the shot”.
