Natasha was still in surgery when the Avengers came running, surprisingly Bruce was with them. They all bombarded him with questions while Bruce stood at the back of the group- looking guilty. Steve raised a finger to his lips, indicating for the group to be quiet, as his eyes darted to Peter who's head was resting on his shoulder, and then to Wanda whose heads was resting Peter's lap. They all nodded and moved to sit in the spare seats around the waiting room except Clint who stood in front of him, one eyebrow raised, clearly expecting an explanation. "After I brought her lunch, I told her that these two" He gestured towards Wanda and Peter, who were still asleep, "wanted to see her. She then asked me to go and get them. When I came back she was being attacked by," He faltered, his gaze flicking to Banner and back in the blink of an eye. "By who? Tell me who? I swear to God I will wring their fucking neck!"

"Language!" Steve exclaimed while Clint laughed. "But seriously who?" Steve gulped and as he was opening his mouth to reply when Dr. Cho came out of the room. "Mr Rogers?"

"Yes?"

"Miss Romanoff of out of surgery and is requesting for you to visit her. She would also like Miss Maximoff and Mr Parker to visit her as well." Steve nodded and woke up Peter and Wanda. Clint got up to follow them but Dr. Cho stopped him, "I'm sorry, we are only allowing two people so see Miss Romanoff after this visit." Looking disgruntled Clint nodded and went to sit next to Thor.

Dr. Cho led them to Natasha's room. "What injuries does she have?" Peter asked, one arm around Wanda comforting her as tears poured down her face. "A broken arm and broken leg. She will be in hospital for a couple of weeks and then bed rest." Dr. Cho explained, pausing before opening the door to the room. "She's just coming of the anaesthetic so will be a bit drowsy." With that she left them alone. The three of them walked in, Steve's heart broke to see the women he loved lying in a hospital bed, her arm and leg bandaged up. Steve saw Wanda and Peter rush forward to their friend's bedside. The two then spent a while fussing over the person who acted like their mother, who was barely conscious.

After a while Natasha opened her eyes, "Now you two go get some sleep. You guys look worse than me and that's saying something." Peter and Wanda headed for the door, "Also could you please tell anyone that's waiting that I just want to speak to Steve alone. So no more visitors please." She added as Peter and Wanda nodded and left.

As the two left Natasha raised her head and tried to pull herself into, Steve saw her wince and rushed forward to help her. "Thanks solider." Steve smiled, "Do you know who attacked you?" Natasha nodded, "Hulk."

"Why?" Steve asked, Natasha just shrugged and patted the bed. Steve looked confused and Natasha laughed at how confused he was. "Come here." Steve still looked confused so feigning frustration she told him, "Come and be my human pillow dipshit." Steve laughed at her forwardness and sat on the bed, near her pillow. Natasha rearranged herself so she was using his chest as a pillow. She looked up at him, her green eyes meeting his beautiful blue ones. "Over lunch he kept shooting me death glares and saying that I stole you and he accused you of cheating on him with me." Natasha nodded, "He was mad because I asked to see Wanda and Peter instead of him." Natasha told him, looking up and Steve again and saw sorrow, worry and love? Wait, Natasha before you get all worked up and start confessing your love for him think. He probably just loves you as a friend and nothing more. She thought, instantaneously her smile faded to be replaced by a frown and watery eyes. Get it together Natasha. You have known for ages he doesn't like you back so pull yourself together and stop looking so sad. Put up a front and stop obsessing over someone that will never be yours, never mind how much you love him.
