Chapter 8: Just a dream

Beep Beep Beep, I could hear but couldn't see, I slipped away from the voices of people. They got fainter and fainter, I was heading towards a light at the end of the tunnel. When I reached it I could see paramedics rushing towards a body, the heart monitor making one long beeping noise, "We've lost her!" one of the paramedics said. Not sure if I wanted to I cautiously peeked over the heads of the paramedics to see me lying there, my skin showed no sign of a tan, my hair lost some color. The right side of my face was swollen, I looked away knowing that nothing could bring me back. Something changed, I felt a shock then it felt like I was being pulled back into reality by my hair. I was back in the tunnel, going away from the light, my life flashed before my eyes, from the battle with Maven all the way to the day I was born, and then everything went black again.

Beep Beep Beep, I heard the beeping again, but this time I wasn't watching my dead body, it was different. There were no paramedics, in fact, there wasn't any sound but the monitor. I groaned,

"Jessica?"

"A-Anthony?" my voice was hoarse and groggy,

"Jessica!" I felt him put his hand on mine.

I opened my left eye because my right one wouldn't open, "What happened?" I asked trying to focus my eye,

"Maven shot you in the face with a blast of cinnamon, the way you landed was terrible, you sprained your ankle and wrist and something jabbed you in the eye. The doctor said when you landed you bit off part of your cheek."

I could feel the stitches in the side of my mouth, "Schinnamon?" That's how I talked ok, "How did he know that schinnamon wasch my weaknessch?"

"I don't know but you died and the doctors brought you back."

"Where are the othersch?" I asked adjusting my self a little,

"Rogers and Stark are getting some breakfast downstairs. And the rest went to talk to Fury."

"They'll come back and vischit right?"

"Yeah." He came closer to me.

Cinnamon wasn't much of a weakness, I was just allergic to it, deadly allergic, "Can you call them up I want to talk to them." I said setting my head on the pillow,

"Rogers, Stark, Jess. is awake and she wants to talk to you." Anthony said into his earpiece that he had,

"She's awake? We'll be right up." Tony said sounding excited,

"How long wasch I out for?" I asked looking at my right wrist and my left ankle, both sprained,

"Couple a days." he said putting his hand in mine,

"Daysch?" my voice squeaked a little.

He chuckled, "It sounds like you gotta cold."

"Nah... I juscht woke up." I said looking at his hand in mine.

There was a knock at the door, "Come in." Anthony said, the door opened revealing Tony and Steve,

"I just don't see why they can't sell ice cream for breakfast." Tony said to Steve, "Oh hey Jess. you look good, how are you feeling?" Tony asked,

"I'm drowschy and my head kinda hurtsch."

"Yeah, that's what a few days of extra sleep will do." Tony laughed sitting down in a recliner in the corner of the room.

Steve sat down in a chair next to Anthony, "I told you that wouldn't be the last time you talked to me." he said with a smile,

"It almoscht wasch." I said looking down at my ankle.

Later that day My friends Leslie, Sara, Farrah, and my cousin Jennifer came to see me, "Hey guysch." I said as they walked in, Tony and Steve left a few hours earlier,

"Jess. you're a lifesaver." Jennifer said giving me a hug,

"Thanksch." I said leaning back on my pillow,

"So how long are you in here for?" Sara asked,

"A few daysch I guessch." I said.

Nightfall came and I was watching the news on tv, "... And even though our city pushed them away, the heroes didn't hesitate to save us." The news reporter said,

"Anthony?" I said,

"Yeah?"

"When I get out of here I want to schedule a pressch conferensche." I said turning the channel,

"Ok." "

I need to tell you schomething." I sat the remote down and looked over to him,

"Sure, anything."

"When you were gone, at your grandmasch, I kinda cheated on you... with another guy." I studied his face, he didn't really know what to say, he was shocked. "I can underschtand if you re mad at me, I waschn't completely honescht with you."

"I don't care, I love you and you're alive and healthy, and that's all that matters."

"Shco you're not mad at me?"

"Mad? I don't care it was one mistake, as long as you don't keep repeating it."

"I promische." I said grabbing his hand,

"Did my parentsch vischit at all?" I asked, they didn't come today,

"Of course, they were distraught when they thought you were dead, once they found out that they brought you back they were relieved."

"Where are they now?"

"At work, they tried to be here but their bosses..."

"Can you call them and tell them to come here."

"Sure." he got up and left the room. I felt relieved to get that off of my conscience, I was glad he understood and still loved me.

An hour passed before my parents came, "Oh Jessica I'm so glad my baby is ok." My mom said coming into the room,

"Hey mom." I said giving her a hug,

"I knew I taught you well." my dad said with a smile,

"Scho what happened to Maven?" I asked,

"Well after he nearly killed you he was so happy that he was distracted by his success then he was shot in the leg by an arrow..."

"Clint, Tony, and I escaped from his henchmen, they aren't very good at containing prisoners." Anthony said,

"Then while they were beating up Maven, Anthony saved us." My mom said,

"Then we brought him into custody, he's being kept in a nice safe padded cell." my dad said with a laugh, I laughed too,

"Thank you so much for saving us." My mom said brushing my hair out of my face, "Who cares what the city says, you are a great hero." She kissed my forehead,

"Thanksch mom." We talked for the rest of the night.

I woke up the next morning to the sound of rain pattering down on the roof, the clock read 9:30 a.m and the room was quiet. I turned on the tv where the news was on, I sat up a little and took a drink of water. There was a knock on the door, "Come in." I said sitting up. The door opened and the last person I would expect to see came in,

"Hello Agent Parker."

"H-hello Agent Barton." he handed me a vase of flowers, "Thanksch." I said taking them,

"No problem, they're from Natasha too." he said looking around,

"Where isch sche?" I asked putting the vase on the end table next to the bed,

"She's back at the Helicarrier with Banner, they were doing research on the necklace."

"Do I at leascht get it back?"

"Probably."

"Cool, it'sch the thought that countsch." he walked over and sat in a chair next to the bed. I didn't know if it was awkward for him but it was very awkward for me,

"So what did the doctor say?" he asked,

"I won't be able to do anything until I am healed... which will probably be a month." I said looking down at my hands,

"Are you looking forward to coming back?"

"Schure, but it'll be awkward wearing an eyepatch around Fury." I said with a laugh.

He laughed too, "That would be awkward, you know, when I first saw you I didn't think you were the hero type... but you have proven me wrong."

"Thanksch?" What in the world was he getting at? He put a hand on mine and the heart monitor beeped a little faster, I blushed hoping he wouldn't notice it,

"I think you are one of the best leaders SHIELD has, besides Fury of course."

"But I let you and the othersch get captured, that doeschn't schound like a good leader to me."

"Every good leader has their strengths and weaknesses."

"Which meansch?"

"No one can be a perfect leader..." WHAT IS HE GETTING AT? I'M SO CONFUSED! "Ok what I'm getting at is that Fury should let you lead more missions."

"He doeschn't let me becausche he thinksch I'm too young and I couldn't handle it."

he laughed, "Well he's wrong." he looked over at the clock, "I should probably get going, I have some things to do." He got up and walked over to the bed and kissed me on the cheek.

The heart monitor went faster and he walked out of the room, I sat there stunned for a few minutes, "Wow..." I said to myself.

I snapped back to reality when Tony walked into the room, "Parker you're awake, I see you got a visit from Barton."

"Yeah." I said with a smile,

"So we have a surprise for you but you can't see it until you get out of this hell hole."

"Tony can't you juscht tell me?" I sighed,

"Nope."

"Why?" I whined,

"Because." He mimicked a fake whine, "You will be really happy about it."

"Isch that where Anthony isch at?"

"You could say that.

" "Tony I hate you... oh and that remindsch me, you have to pay my phone bill thisch month."

"Why do I have to do it?"

"Becausche you're the reaschon it'sch asch high asch it isch, and I won't be out of here in time to pay it."

"Fair enough."

I talked to Tony for like the whole day. I missed my home so much, I missed my bed, and Geoffrey, and my pool, I just wanted these few days to go by quickly.

*Few days later*

I was excited to go home, I hated going to the hospital, it almost felt like prison... almost. Anthony was standing next to me when a doctor came in with a wheelchair and he helped me into it. He pushed me into an elevator and we went down to the ground floor, the doctor handed Anthony some crutches for me since I was holding the vase of flowers. When we got outside I squinted in the sunlight, the city looked so nice, like a battle didn't even happen,

"Surprise!" I looked over to see Tony, Steve and Clint standing there,

"This was my surprise? Thank you guys so much, it means a lot to me." I said almost crying,

"Well we knew how much you dread cleaning up the city so we did it for you, as a welcome home gift." Tony said,

"Thank you guys." They helped me out of the wheelchair and Anthony put me in his car, "I can not thank you guys enough for cleaning up the city, I really appreciate it."

"No problem Jessica, we did it for you." Steve said with a smile, Anthony drove me home.

It was great seeing my house again, Anthony pulled to a stop and pulled the crutches out of the back of the car. When I got inside everything was the same, "Geoffrey I'm home!" I shouted. Geoffrey came out of the kitchen,

"Welcome back Ms. Parker, I missed having your company around here."

"I missed having your company too." I said and gave him a hug, "Anthony, I want to go up to my room, can you help me?"

"Sure." He lifted me up and carried me to my bedroom.

I missed my bed in the corner of the room and the light blue walls and, well, everything. Anthony laid me down on my bed,

"Oh my god I missed being home." I laid back on my bed.

Anthony laid next to me and pulled me in close to him, he smelled amazing, like Axe.

I rested my head on his chest and fell asleep, glad that Maven was caught and everything was over...

For now.

I lied... there's one more chapter but you gotta wait

With love and imitation heros
