Steve's POV

My head was pounding hard when I woke up in my bed, what the hell happened to me?

My whole body felt so sore, the pain was stinging all over me.

I groaned as the pain flowed in me again when I turned my head to look at the cloak on the side table next to the bed. The time read midnight wow how long have I been out? It took me a few minutes to remember why I was this sore to begin with.

Think Steve think, ok I was fighting Rumlow then I got the call about

"Natasha!" I almost yelled shooting up out of bed but lied back down when the pain began stinging again.

Now I remembered I had saved Natasha from Quinn but he had shot me three times, there was an explosion, Nat and Clint got me out, blood I was hurt very badly hurt I remember a lot of blood, Barton had contacted Hill to bring a med team, my teammates were removing the bullets then nothing that's when I must have blacked out.

I had to get up and stretch my legs I wouldn't lay here anymore.

Getting up was extremely painful and quit a challenge, I slowly inched myself up until I was on my elbows, rolling over on my side was just as hard, when I was able to stand I had to have one hand on the way to steady myself.

My vision was going blurry as I made my way to the door.

I stopped seeing my refection in the mirror near my closet.

I stared in the mirror seeing my right arm, chest and torso were tightly bandaged.

All I could say was wow Quinn really did a number on me.

I started making my way to the door again were I heard voices, but they didn't belong to Nat and Clint.

Opening the door I see Natasha sitting on the couch with a bowl of popcorn watching the Three Stooges. She mustn't have heard me come out of my room so I just stood there watching her for a few more minutes.

"Hey" I finally say slightly startling the spy.

"Oh hey" She said getting up from her seat just looking at me. She was wearing a black tank top, a pair of gray pajama shorts, and white socks her hair always did look pretty when it was up, I loved it that way

"Are you ok?" She asks worriedly

"Oh yeah I'm fine…I uh….I just couldn't sleep"

"Lots of pain?"

"A little yeah…..How long have I been sleep for?"

"Well not 70s years so that's good to hear"

We both laugh at her joke.

"About 7 hours maybe 8" She said walking up to me.

"Feeling any better?"

"Getting stronger every minute" I reply

"Good"

We both just stare at one another not saying anything for a while

"You want to sit down?"

"Yeah sitting would be nice" I say.

Nat takes my arm and leads me to an arm chair next to couch where she sits next to me, it felt good to sit down again my head was still buzzing.

"Do you need anything?"

"I could really use a glass of water please"

The spy smiles as she gets up and heads into the kitchen.

"One water coming right up, do you want it shaken or stirred?" She joked

I laugh Nat could always make me laugh, which I haven't done in a while what with me finding out that my best friend in the world came back from the dead and was brainwashed into thinking that he had to kill me. So much was going on in my life; I didn't know where to pick up.

"Here you go" Nat said handing me the glass "Sorry where out of lemons and those tiny umbrellas"

"Its fine and thanks" I say talking a big gulp of the water

"No problem"

We both turn our attention to the TV watching the Stooges slap themselves silly.

"You do realize that it's all in German right?"

"Yeah I know I couldn't find the subtitle switch."

There she goes again making me laugh, but it quickly changes to sharp pain.

"You ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine" I reassure the spy hearing the concern in her voice "It only hurts when I laugh"

The look of worry didn't leave her face, but I didn't want her to feel that it was her fault because it wasn't so I changed the subject.

"You wanna know what I haven't done with anyone since I was defrosted?" I ask her

"No what haven't you done?" She asked curiously

Slowly inched myself up and walked into the Kitchen where I removed a tub of ice cream from the freezer and made my way back to the spy.

"I haven't had a chance to sit down will a really good friend and eat a bowl of ice cream"

Natasha grinned brightly as she walked to me.

"I'll get the bowls if you get the spoons"

"Deal"
