Set AU Post CA TWS

"One"

Why did they do the counting thing? Not that it helped him prepare any better..

"Two"

This was just yuck.. if he threw up he'll make sure to direct it to the doctor's body. Banner didn't like him much anyway.

"There"

This sucks. This SUCKS WHERE IS STEVE. WHY ISN'T STEVE HERE STEVE IS ALWAYS HERE..!

James' breathing picked up dramatically, panicking quietly he'd yet to say a word. There was a quick 'snap' where his bone fell back into place.

He'd yelped, lunged forward in pain only to be, as gently as Thor possibly could, slapped back into the metal cot in Banner's lab. The god's hand heavy on his chest, a sympathetic look on his face.

"The healers mean well, James." Thor's hand didn't move, it was soothing in a way. Buck couldn't get mad at him he just wished Steve was around.

Freaking Gods.. so big and strong and.. nice. Why wasn't Steve here? Steve knew these people better than anyone else. Why would these people continue to be nice to him? He could hurt them badly. He wouldn't hurt Steve. Steve's his best.. his best.. hm.. f'l funny..

"The mute man's fallen asleep." The God looked over to Dr Banner as he spoke. Tony snorted a laugh, setting compression on the assassin's other leg while Banner inspected his now set right leg.

"He just passed out. No worries. Here, hold this mask for him while I go get the better one." Banner took Thor's hand off his chest & pushed an oxygen mask into it placing them both on Jame's face. "Gently, there you go. You go it?"

Thor nodded, flashed a wicked charming smile. He very much enjoyed helping the Dr. It swelled Banner's heart sometimes.

Banner left to retrieve the better mask and a pillow.

"..and he's not mute." Tony added, half rolling his eyes. He could feel Thor's confused eyed on the side of his head so he stopped for a second to look at the god then the unconscious man. "He's just.. unsure."

"Unsure of what exactly?" Thor eyed the assassin, he looked calm — peaceful in sleep.

"This.." moved his hand to motion all around the lab "Us.. people.. nice things.. freedom.. Care, love all of it."

"He must know we are good to him from heart. He is our Captain's friend and so he is ours." Thor meant every word of it, it didn't make sense to shun this man out because he's been forced to do evil.

"He will eventually.. Don't take it to heart, thunder pants. It'll take time." Tony just tapped at his bicep with two fingers & moved him aside taking over the mask while Banner approached and helped him lift the Assassin's head for a pillow and exchange the mask for a better one that wrapped around his head.

Thor stood there, a few feet away. He thought to himself, I must find ways to bond with this mortal. For Steven. For friendship.

That's another chapter~ Its so hard to keep these short
