The first mission the Avengers went on after Steve and Amy began dating was a complete mess. They still refuse to talk about what happened, what went wrong. Natasha came home leaning heavily on Clint; both suffering from breaks and bruises. Tony stumbled into the Tower floor exhausted. Pepper ran to his side before he collapsed.
'Oh my God! Where's Steve? What happened?' Amy became frantic as she helped Natasha onto the couch. Natasha winced and groaned as she put pressure on her broken ankle.
'With Thor and Bruce. We were ambushed.'
Clint interrupted her, 'don't know what happened. Steve sensed something, told us to take cover. Shit, he saved us.' He lowered himself down next to Natasha.
Thor and Bruce walked through the door, helping Steve along with them. Amy ran to them. She stopped short.
Steve's face was bloodied and bruised and his suit had rips in it. Amy could see bloody gashes under the fabric. Thor and Bruce set him gently on the couch.
'Oh Steve. Shouldn't you go to the hospital?' Amy hovered over the couch. Steve winced and shook his head.
'Pepper's got it covered.'
Amy looked to the redhead, who nodded. She held up an industrial looking first aid kit.
'I've had some practice. You can't be Tony Stark's assistant without medical training.' she gave Amy a warm smile. Bruce began splinting Natasha's ankle and Clint's wrist.
Soon enough everyone was in various stages of being patched up. Amy hovered awkwardly in the kitchen. She'd had no experience with these types of injuries and was wondering what her place was in the Avengers family.
'Amy come over here.' Steve called from the couch. Amy set a sandwich and a coke on a tray and brought it over to Steve.
'How are you? Does it hurt? Oh Steve.' She ran a hand through her black hair.
'I'm fine. I'll be better in no time. Pepper's really very proficient in fixing us up.' Steve grinned and bit into his sandwich.
That wasn't the last time the Avengers showed up broken and battered. It was the last time Amy didn't know what to do. She took over as entertainment for them. She brought them food and movies to watch and listened to their stories of battle.
A/N: Not sure how I feel about this one. Comments are appreciated.
