4:06PM – The Avenger's Tower – Bruce's POV

Bruce is in the midst of an experiment with Tony when Jarvis delivers the news he'd never wanted to hear. "Sir Barton's condition has deteriorated and he is currently having multiple seizures and requires imitate medical attention" delivers Jarvis swiftly.

Bruce drops the file he was looking through and is glued to the spot until Tony grabs his hand and pulls him roughly along after him. They both sprint to Bruce's medical supplies and grab what they think they'll need and rush towards Clint's room without saying a word to each other.

The scene that meets the pair's eyes makes them both shudder. Clint is scarily still and his pale face is covered in blood, Natasha is bent over Clint checking that he is still breathing, her face unreadable as she explains what happened "Clint's fever went up and I went to get him some clothes and th… then I found him like this" she explains, her voice on the verge of breaking, she doesn't look them in the eyes.

Wordlessly Bruce gets to work checking Clint's vital signs and gasps at his 41.4 degree fever and sluggish pulse. How did the archer deteriorate so quickly? Banner thinks to himself. Working in split seconds he applies a compression bandage to Clint's forehead wound and commands Natasha to apply pressure to stem the flow of blood still pouring out of the sizeable wound until Bruce can stich it up. He tries to locate the source of the bleeding that causing blood to still dribbling out of Clint's mouth., he finds multiple punctures on his tongue that suggests that the archer must have bitten through his tongue when he fell or whilst he was having seizures, luckily the bleeding isn't bad enough to affect the archer's breathing. Then the doctor remembers Clint's arm wound, he swiftly pulls of the bandage that was covering it and is shocked to see how swollen it is, the skin surround the small puncture is red hot and is oozing fluid. It is clearly infected but it doesn't make sense, how could it be this infected? it looked fine this morning thinks Banner puzzled and tries to hide his expression from the others to avoid panicking them further.

"Stark get me the stretcher from my lab!" he orders Tony, who had been standing helplessly in the doorway. Glad to be able to help he rushes to Banner's lab and returns with the stretcher in minutes and helps Bruce load a still unconscious Clint onto, taking care not to jolt him.

The three avengers are hurriedly pushing the stretcher towards the elevator when Clint begins to have another seizure, this one worse than the last. His entire body jerks uncontrollably and trio is left helplessly watching, waiting for his to stop convulsing. But this seizure brings a new problem, his wounds' bleeding dramatically speeds up from the convulsion and Clint's mouth dangerously fills with blood causing him to choke and splutter on his own blood. Bruce rushes in and does his best to keep his airways clear by rolling him onto his side and tilting his head up. Finally after what feels like hours Clint's fit stops and the trio wastes no time rushing him to Bruce's medical lab on the floor below.

When the small team arrives at the lab they quickly deposit Clint onto the nearest bed and Bruce dismissed Natasha and Tony with a flick of his hand explaining that he works faster when people aren't in his way. Natasha opens her mouth to argue, to beg to help in any way and Tony tries to pull her out of the room and she reflectively punches him in the face and then realisesing what she just did she hides her face in her hands and Tony gently steers her out of the room, gingerly clutching a tissue to his bleeding nose.

With the others gone Bruce wastes no time hooking Barton up to variety of different machines to monitor his vital signs (which are still dangerously slow) and he also administers a cocktail of antibiotics to treat the infected wound and a high dosage of Acetaminophen to bring down the archer's high fever, which Bruce suspects is causing the violent seizures, and as a precaution Bruce attaches him to a saline drip to further help bring down Clint's high fever.

Once Bruce is satisfied that the Clint will remain stable for now he gently cleans out Clint forehead wound ,which is a few inches across, then delicately stiches the skin together. Satisfied with his handy work Bruce gets to work cleaning the rest of the blood off of Clint's face and neck revealing just how pale his face is. He checks at the infected wound on Clint's right arm and is frustrated that he cannot wash it out because the infection seems to be congregating under the skin, and Bruce doesn't want to risk surgery in Clint's currently condition so he wraps it in a clean bandage and hopes the antibiotics will take effect soon and ease some of the swelling.

That's when the archer stops breathing altogether. ..
