Sitting on the edge of the cool table, in Stark towers Emma felt nauseous; maybe it was from the loss of blood or the stress but she only had one thing on her mind, Steve.
Looking around Emma wondered how long it took Tony to make or buy all the brand new electrical equipment. Scraps of the iron man lay strewn across the surfaces, among screens of various computers that have yet to be released in any stores.
Tony walked in after her carrying a range of medical equipment in a metal box, a look of worry on his face, he gently pulled a chair closer to Emma sitting down next to her legs.
"Okay, how do I put this politely?". He said placing the metal box next to her. "Your going to have to take your clothes off".
Emma rolled her eye's not in the mood for sexual jokes.
"How many girls have you said that too?". She whispered sadly.
"It's up to you?, I mean realistically I only need you to take the jeans off, seeing as I need to stitch the wound, but If you want to take everything off too that's cool with me".
Emma sighed leaning down, her dark hair covering her face. Tony turned away slightly, as she pulled off her jeans.
"Miss Young?". Jarvis question Emma.
"Yes Jarvis?".
"I've been programed to offer you a change of clothes that are in the draw next to your feet, I believe there is a pair of shorts that will fit you".
"Thank you Jarvis". Emma laughed lightly, although the smile felt forced on her face.
Pulling on the small shorts Emma nudged Tony with her feet.
"You can turn around now, stupid". Tony put his hands up in defence.
"Okay, okay no need to get personal". He opened up the small metal box, pulling out a needle and solution. Emma's heart instantly sped up in her chest. Images of Loki injecting solution into her arms ran through her eye's- his smug face coming close to hers.
"No way". Emma said jumping down from the table, half falling over her own feet, knocking over a number of metal items she half ran out of the large room, limping as blood fell down her leg.
Tony sighed walking after her, running was certainly not going to help her leg.
"Em, we need to do it!". He said shouting after the young women. "Your leg is severely hurt!".
Ignoring Tony, Emma continued limping down the hallway.
"No, we don't it will heal on it's own". She shouted turning around, instantly she fell into something hard, almost being thrown to the ground before a pair of warm arms supported her falling weight from falling to the ground.
She looked up to see Steve Rogers, blushing at Emma he pulled her up helping her to her feet.
"Oh, Steve". she gasped, feeling like an idiot her face instantly glowing red.
"Are you okay?". Steve whispered looking from Emma to Tony, jealousy rising through his veins.
"I'm fine". Emma moaned rolling her eye's at Tony, glancing back at Steve.
"She's not, Steve look at her leg". Tony shouted, Steve glanced down at Emma's bare leg, ignoring the heat rising to his face Steve saw how badly the wound actually was.
"You're not fine Emma". Steve said laughing lightly, helping her walk back to Tony.
Turning towards Steve, Emma looked up to the kind man looking into his eyes.
"I can't". She whispered quietly, tears forming into her eyes. "The last time I had a needle injection, was with Loki..". she mumbled trailing off, a pained expression in her green eyes.
Steve held onto the young women, gently guiding her to the room.
"Of course you can".He said smiling, holding the door our for Emma. "You're one of the most fearless women I've met, and you won't let someone as stupid as Loki deter or hurt you any more".
Emma smiled walking past Tony with Steve, sitting on the same table as before. Tony dabbed antiseptic on the wound gently, causing a sting of pain through out Emma's leg causing her to flinch.
Tony place a hand on her knee.
"Sorry, should have warned you". He said looking up at Emma
"It's okay, that's the easy part I guess". Emma smiled glancing at Steve, his eye's laying firmly on Tony's hand on Emma's leg.
"Okay!", Tony said removing his hand from Emma taking out the needle again. Emma tensed up looking at Steve, he nodded slightly sliding his hands through hers. Gripping on tightly Emma nodded to Tony encouraging him to continue.
"Right, this is going to numb your entire leg so I will be able to stitch the wound without pain". Tony said.
The needle slid through the skin of Emma's leg quickly, causing her to wince at the memories it brought back. Leaning her weight against Steve she felt a wave of numbness surround her leg, breathing deeply she felt her eye's grow heavy.
"Hey, Tony". She said softly, "This stuff is making me even more drowsy".
Emma shut her eye's feeling sleep take over her system as black surrounded her body, she felt the warmth of Steve next to her as she drifted into a deep sleep.
Steve looked down at the sleeping brunette on the table in front of the two men. Glancing at Tony he felt confused.
"I thought you said it would only numb her leg". He raised a blond eyebrow.
"Yeah, well I say a lot of things".Tony shrugged, "Anyway it give's us a little chance to chat now doesn't it".
