The cold and fast wind rushing through her face behind her mask woke her up a bit. Tiger without moving, open her eyes a little. A dark blue color background in front of her was all she could see. It looked like it was moving at a great amount of speed. She had never felt the wind so fast in her face before. As she continued to stare at the navy blue sky, she could feel like her feet floating in the air. She felt a tight grip on her. Making an extra effort to try to see her surroundings, she felt an enormous headache. With a small amount of energy, she saw the black and golden suit next to her. Her face was next to it, her hand was on his chest, she could feel his heart beating.
This made Tiger give a weak smile to no one in particular. "Sam..." she whispered softly. She had missed his jokes, pranks, sarcasm, and everything else. This made her think of Iron Fist and Power Man. It had felt like months since she had last seen them. A picture of a red and blue super hero came into her head. At this point, her tiredness was taking over, as she felt her eyes closing. Her mind had gone somewhere else. Back to a flashback. As her mind was leaving reality, she could hear an echoey voice saying: "Hang in there, Tiger. We're almost there."
And with that, her vision went black.
Nova made it to the helicarrier, with tiger still in his arms. Some S.H.I.E.L.D agents took notice of him. They took tiger off his arms quickly, and took her to the medical infirmary. Fury was on his way to get the report on tiger. As he passed by, ready to go inside the door he saw nova bending down, hands on his knees for support, and was panting. And he went inside.
Nova limped to the closest chair they had in the waiting room. He let his body fall into it, as he sighed tiredly. This had been the roughest nights of all, by far. He let his helmet hit the wall behind him. He was resting for a moment, giving his heart a chance to beat slower. But before he knew it, his eyes had given up.
Fury had order for a couple of S.H.I.E.L.D agents to get the rest of the team back. Once they got them, they rushed to the helicarrier medical room. Spiderman was the first one to go in. His eyes quickly scanned the room. He continued to walk, only to pass by Nova, who was completely passed out on the chair, snoring. Spiderman frowned, and was about to wake him up, when he saw Fury come out of two doors.
"Fury," he walked up to the man. "How is she?" he asked anxious.
Fury nodded. "She's fine, Peter. A little knocked out for now, because of all the medications, but other than that...she should be fine tomorrow morning. She'll be looking better than all of you combined, I can assure you that." Fury said looking at each of the heroes' wounds.
This gave Spiderman so much relief. "Looks like all of you guys could use some sleep." said Fury as he looked over at Nova. They nodded.
Once they had all gotten checked out, and got their wounds taken care of, they met back in the middle of the medical center.
"Alright well, I'm glad this is all over now." Said power man stretching his arms.
"I can truly say this was by far, the craziest night for me." Iron fist said.
"I think you can say that for all of us..." added Nova.
Spiderman gave a small chuckle "Yeah, but we did good guys." he said proudly.
"Well," said nova with a big yawn. "see ya guys tomorrow."
"Yeah, you guys go, get some rest. I'll stay here an-"
"Peter," said iron fist stopping him. "She's fine. You need to get some rest too."
"Yeah man, that chest of yours did not look good..."pointed out power man.
Spiderman stood quiet, he really wanted to stay. But his body told him otherwise. His chest still burned, and every other part of his body felt bruised. So he decided to leave, and come back first thing in the morning. "Okay." was all he said.
"Please, Ava. You can't leave me."
A constant 'beep' beep' woke Ava up. Her eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the light of the room. Everything looked so blurry as her eyes moved around. Slowly, her eyes adjusted, stopping in a figure.
Peter quickly stood up from the couch in the room. "Hey," he said closer to the bed. It took her a minute to grasp everything. She stared up at peter for a few more seconds. "Peter..." before she knew it, they were hugging.
Pete had leaned in for the hug, Ava was confused but hugged him back. She closed her eyes as she did, leaning in closer to him unintentionally. Peter could feel the change in Ava's body, and noticed the tightness of the hug. So he pulled back.
"how you feeling?" he asked. Even though he felt like saying much more than that.
Ava nodded "Um, better." she said with a smile, still looking confused. "Much better."
They locked eyes for a minute. Until peter blinked looking away "oh, right, I should um...I should tell the guys you're awake." He made his way towards the door.
"Wait.." Ava said. She had nothing to say, she just wanted him to stay longer. Peter looked back. "I..um, I was just wondering...did I-"
She looked down, perhaps afraid to hear the answer. Peter quickly understood and walked next to the bed. "Hey, don't blame this on you,okay?."
Her brown teary eyes meet his baby blue eyes. She nodded. "There was nothing you could've done. You had no control over it." Peter gave her a warm smile, as he took her hand. "No. The answer is no. You didn't hurt anyo-"
"Peter, please, don't lie to me." She said almost begging.
Peter straightened up. "I mean, it...it wasn't that bad..." he said rubbing his neck.
"Peter-"
"Alright well let me get the guys" he said walking away. Ava sighed frustrated, but yet smiled, she had miss him- them, so much.
The guys came in, all with a big smile on their faces. "Hey guys" she said happy.
"Feeling better?" asked Danny as he was the last one to hug her.
"Yes, a lot better."
"We're all glad to have you back" said Luke with arms crossed.
"Yeah, more like ' we're glad we're not your chew toys anymore' " said Sam, pointing out what Peter had been trying to hide.
Ava's smile faded a bit. "Yeah, I'm- I'm sorry about that. I'm not so sure what 'that' is, but, I'm sure it wasn't good..."
"No kidding, you should've seen web head with you and your claws all-"
"So, yeah, we're glad your back Ava." Peter interrupted, clapping his hands together. As he gave Luke a look. "We all missed ya"
Luke quickly caught on, and elbowed Sam in the ribs. Sam silently winced and gave Luke a stare of his own. He was ready to say something, but Fury had entered the room.
"Ayala," he greeted. "How are you feeling?"
"Much better, Sir."
He nodded. "Glad to have you back." She nodded once.
"Now, I've been informed on the status of Harry.." he said. Peter's eyes locked on furys.
"And? How is he?" peter asked.
"He's fine,but, we just want to make sure venom is completely gone out of his system." he explained. "It'll take some time to be 100 percent sure. So, we'll keep an eye on him. " Peter nodded understanding. "As for now, I'm sure he could use a little company. Same with your two other friends. So you guys go take care of your business, you have the day off. As for all of you boys, I expect you all early tomorrow in the morning for training." And with that, Fury left the room.
"How are Mj and Kara?" asked Ava concerned.
"Well, I texted Mj a couple of hours ago," Said peter as he pulled out his phone. " she just said they're both out of the hospital, and they had no major injuries."
"So, maybe we can go see Mj, and then stop at Kara's?" suggested Ava. "Oh, and then at Harry's"
"Can we not just all meet somewhere?" suggested Danny.
"Hey, for once, I actually agree with Danny here.." Said Sam. "Oh! better yet, We should all just throw a big party!"
Four teenager stared at him.
"What?" he said nonchalance.
"A party?" questioned Luke. "Are you crazy?"
"They just got out of the hospital, Sam." Peter pointed out. "Wow, you really just find whatever excuse to throw a party don't ya?" he said not really meaning it as a question.
"hey, it could be a 'yay, you got better' kinda party" he stumbled. The other teenagers thought about it. "C'mon guys, we have the day off!"
"I mean, I guess we could do a small get together, between all of us..." Peter said still not fully convinced.
"Yes!" Sam said with the biggest grin on his face.
"What do you guys say?" asked peter to the other three teens.
"Fine by me" said Luke.
"I guess" Danny shrugged. Hearing a small squeal from Sam of excitement. "So? Ava, are you in?" asked Sam.
Ava looked at her team mates, as she stopped with a particular one. "Okay, fine. Let's get everything planned." Sam jumped up with a fist in the air. Getting ready to walk out of the room.
"It's only between us, Sam!" yelled Ava. But he was already gone. She shook her head.
"Hey, it's fine. Maybe we do need to enjoy our day off.." said Peter smiling. As both of their eyes met, and she smiled back.
