Based on the scene in winter soldier where Steve falls into the water except in this, Natasha is the one to save him.

"Hill! Do you have eyes on Steve?" Natasha asked through the intercom, her eyes scanning the crumbling building for any sign of him.

"No, he was in the helicopter when we fired though."

Natasha cursed and scanned each burning ship to try and spot him.

Through the smoke and fire, she finally caught a glimpse of the winter soldier, he was punching Steve and it didn't appear like Steve was even fighting back.

Natasha frantically stood up. "There!"

Fury started to fly towards Steve but just as they got close, a large piece of debris fell and broke the glass Steve was lying on, sending him hurling towards the water.

"Shit." Natasha said, shedding her headset as she dived out of the helicopter.

"Romanoff!" Fury yelled.

Natasha hit the water hard but brushed off the pain and searched for Steve.

She swam deep, looking everywhere for a sign of him. Soon, she ran out of air and had to come up for more.

She dove back down and finally spotted Steve floating towards the bottom. She swam towards him, only to see the winter soldier doing the same.

She swam faster and reached Steve first, she prepared herself to have to fight for him but was surprised to see the soldier give her a sad look before swimming away.

Natasha ignored it and quickly brought Steve to the shore.

She coughed up the water she had inhaled and shook Steve's shoulders.

"Come on Steve. Wake up." She said, desperately shaking him.

She noticed the several bullet and knife wounds on his torso and began to panic. She pressed her finger to her ear piece and tried to steady her breathing.

"I- I need a medic. I've got Captain Rogers on the shore. He has multiple bullet wounds and is unresponsive. We need help." She said, her voice shaky.

Fury came over the intercom, obvious concern in his voice. "Does he have a pulse?"

Natasha checked quickly and nodded. "Yes, but it's faint."

"I'm sending medics now. Keep him alive Natasha."

Natasha pressed her hands to Steve's bullet wound in the center of his stomach and tried to stop the bleeding.

Noticing how badly the other wounds were begining to bleed, she ripped a piece of her sleeve off and tied it to the wound in the back of his leg.

She did the same thing with the knife wound in his shoulder and then continued to apply pressure to his other ones.

"Steve, I need you to stay with me. Okay? You can't leave me yet. Please stay Steve." She said, her vision becoming blurry.

The medics finally arrived and Natasha followed closely behind as they loaded him into the van. She sat besides him and helped the doctors apply pressure to his wounds while they tried to stabilize him.

They finally reached the hospital and Natasha never left Steve's side as they wheeled him into a small room.

"Ma'am, you need to leave. He needs to be examined and no one is allowed to be in here." The doctor told her.

Natasha shook her head. "I'm not going anywhere."

Fury grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the room with Sam's help.

She fought against them and scowled. "Why can't I be in there?!" She asked, her face red hair with anger.

Fury sighed. "Because it's the policy Romanoff. You can go back in when they finish."

She frowned and leaned next to the door.

With every passing minute, Natasha became more nervous. What if she hadn't done enough to save him?

Their earlier conversation rang in her ears.

"If it was down to me to save you, would you trust me to do it?"

"I would now."

He did something no one else she knew had ever done. He trusted her.

And if she failed to save him then she was proving exactly why he was wrong in doing so.

Natasha's knee bounced up and down as she waited for news.

A while later, the doctor came out. "He's going to survive. Doesn't even need surgery, just rest. You guys can visit him now if you'd like."

Natasha didn't wait for Sam and Fury, she walked into the room and let out a sigh of relief when she saw Steve laying peacefully in the cot.

His eye had a large yellow circle around it but other then that he looked fine.

Natasha took a seat besides him and waited for him to wake up.

Soon, Fury left. Sam stayed, he took his seat next to her and waited for Steve to wake up as well.

"You know, for someone who acts like nothing matters, you seemed pretty worried about Steve out there."

Natasha frowned. "Steve's my friend. Of course I was worried."

Sam shrugged. "It seemed like more then that."

Natasha sighed and glared at Sam. "What excactly are you trying to get at Sam?"

"Nothing. I just think there's more then just friendly feelings with you two."

Natasha ignored Sam. He was right, she wouldn't even bother denying it.

Sam was just about to say something when Steve's voice came from next to them.

"On your left." He mumbled.

Natasha and Sam both smiled.

They filled in Steve with what happened and then Sam went to go get some food for the trio.

Natasha smiled softly at Steve. "You look awful." She teased.

Steve laughed. "I would say the same about you, but even after all of this you still look beautiful as ever."

Natasha smirked. "That's the perks of not getting punched by a man with a metal arm."

Steve raised his eyebrows. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Did you see that?"

Natasha nodded. "Why didn't you fight back?"

"Bucky...he was still in there. I could tell. I couldn't fight him. Not when the only thing at stake was my life."

Natasha frowned. "You say that like your life doesn't matter."

Steve shrugged. "I couldn't fight him Nat. I just couldn't."

She looked down and sighed. "You know, I was really worried. I though that you were going to die. I understand why you did it, but please. Next time you're going to try and get yourself killed... Let me know beforehand."

Steve smiled. "I'll do my best."

Natasha smiled. "Good. I gotta get going. Now that we've released all of sheild's intel, I've got to go help pick of the pieces of our mess. I'll keep in touch."

Steve nodded. "Stay safe."

She nodded with a smirk. "I'll do my best."
