Again so sorry that this is late, again I've had no motivation ! Next chapter will be from nats point of view as she can hear a lot! Thanks for reading! :)

Clint barged in first, he'd been in this situation many different times however he doesn't know if she has ever been that bad before. Then was Tony, worry was etched on his face as he walked in to the sound of beeping and machines. Next was Steve, he stood outside the window glaring through the blinds building up the courage to go into the room. Poor Natasha had never looked so small and weak, she was covered in wires and needles and machines were running in the background. It was crazy to think that this was the woman he loved, he wanted to just take her place and stop the pain. As he stood there he recalled the conversations in the waiting room, she was injected with a super soldier serum, and for some reason he kind of felt responsible, without him becoming Captain America Nat would have a normal life, she would have became a teacher or a doctor or even musician (he knew how much she liked to sing in the shower and if he ever told anyone she would probably kill him). Cap worried about how little he knew about her, he knew Stark really hated the fact he knew nothing about Nat, he didn't know what Banner knew but his face always looked puzzled when her past was caught up and well Barton knew some things but not as much as he would like too.

Cap walked into the hospital room, the first thing he noticed was the beeping, the consistency of the beeps acted as a safeguard as he knew Nat was still alive, secondly he saw the amount of damage that was done to her. Her face was etched with multiple small cuts and her flowing red hair was unevenly cut and it actually made his stomach turn and backflip to think how much pain she was in, tubes and machines were hooked to every bit of skin showing, they seemed to be either pumping her full of blood or drugs which he knew Natasha would hate as he kept scanning Natashas body a young doctor walked in, behind him the small nurse that allowed them to enter followed the doctor in.

'Well… you come for the party or what?' Tony commented, he looked so stressed and angered that it shocked the young lad and he looked quiet stuck for words.

'Oh erm well, Miss Romanoff has had a struggles greatly since she came in, drugs were not seeming to be affective in her and she did seem to be in a lot of pain, she had 3 bullets lodged in her torso and one has ripped her lung. We believe the knife used to make the cuts was laced with a type of poison which did mean she had some visions and fits whilst we were operating. We did loose her a couple of times on the table but hopefully she will make a full recovery as long as she doesn't do much moving and rests a lot. Its a shame this happened on her birthday.' With that the Doctor checked her vitals and began to walk out. At the mention of her birthday everyone who stood in that room turned around.

'Wait, what did you say?' Questioned Steve?

The doctor stopped as he was walking out, 'Which part do you mean Mr Rogers?'

'You said it was her birthday?'

'Well yes, 22nd of November, on file for Miss Natasha Romanoff, no year of birth which is funny but yeah its her birthday? Didn't you know?'

Everyones heart dropped, how did they not know it was her birthday? They had known her and worked with her for such a long time and it only came to them now that they has never once celebrated her birthday, in all honesty they didn't even know how old she was. An awkward silence fell over the room as everyone turned to Clint, he has sat down in a seat next to Nat's bed with his hand in his face.

'She's my best friend and I didn't even know her birthday, I can't deal with this' Clint walked out the room, clearly upset and Bruce followed, probably to go and help.

'Im fed up of this.' Exclaimed Tony.

'Fed up of what?'

'We know nothing about her, she's a brilliant, amazing, talented spy and a really good friend but we didn't even know her birthday, we don't know how old she is, she's Russian and is enhanced using a super spy serum but thats it, who were her enemies? what did she do in Russia? I just don't know how we can work with her when we know nothing about her.'

'For god sake does it matter? All that matters is that she pulls through and that the idiot that did this to her gets put away. If you care so much go and do something resourceful, leave Tony.'

Steve was so angered by Tony, yes it was annoying to know nothing about the woman but all that mattered really was the fact that she was getting better. Steve walked over to the chair which Clint sat in and took Natasha's hand.

'I honestly don't care what happened in your past, all that matters to me is that you come out of this well and still you.'

So there he sat, hours upon hours as the Nurse came and checked her vitals and refilled her IV bag, on some occasions he chatted with her and found out she was actually a really nice girl but eventually he fell asleep holding Natasha's hand.

When he woke, Natasha's face was white as a sheet and covered in sweat, even though her eyes were closed she seemed to be sitting up and mumbling words of Russian. Quickly, Steve manoeuvred where he could close to her face and try to wake her up.

'Hey Nat, it me Steve, you really could do with waking up.'

Natasha grabbed his shirt, eyes still closed, and frantically mumbled more Russian into his ears. From what he could make out she had mention the words 'красный' which meant red and 'комната' which meant room from what Steve remembered and she also mentioned the name 'Anna' which made no sense but he knew she was trying to tell her something. Nat let go of his shirt and started shaking, 'no no this is bad, this is really bad' Steve kept thinking, he kept pushing the help button but nothing was happening. Slowly Natasha was deteriorating, her breathing was becoming more erratic as she rocked up and down and up and down the bed.

'Natasha please, NATASHA.' Steve shouted, not liking the fact that he had to raise his voice to someone who needed help however it did calm her. Between all her Russian slurs words like Steve and Avengers were coming out and her rocking was calming down, still something wasn't up and no doctor nor nurse was insight. Not wanting to leave Natasha but fearing for her well being he left on the search for a doctor, he passed the kind nurse and told her the problem and she rushed straight in the room and instructed Steve to go and find the doctor, as he did he explained Nat symptoms and they ran to the hospital room where the nurse was no where to be found. Immediately the Doctor started to examine Natasha and inject her with drugs and remedies which seemed to calm her down.

'I don't know what happened but I've injected her with some very strong painkillers and ill take some bloods to send off to be tested. Her temperature is very high at the moment so she may become delusional but hopefully she will be awake sooner than expected'

'Wait, the nurse with the brown hair came in here a minute ago, she told me to get you?'

'I don't know let me put a call through'

He went to the desk and called for a Nurse Anna and then the penny dropped.

'Wait Nurse who?' Steve inquired

'Oh Nurse Anna, she arrived about 4 weeks ago, is there something the matter Mr Rogers?'

'Oh crap'
