Chapter 8: Finding My Way

When I woke up the next morning I felt good...well except for the broken leg. I just had a well rested sleep, that's all. But all I could do in that hospital room was sit up in the bed thinking. I sighed softly. What was I gonna do now that I the clues of this world just matched up a little. Not only do I know Tony Stark but Captain America as well? This is beyond anything that I have ever imagined. My thoughts were interrupted when the nurse came back into my room. I looked up when she entered.

"So how are you feeling?" She asked coming over to me.

"I feel okay." I said as she started checking my vitals and the monitors. I took a breath as she did this.

"Everything seems alright. But let's just take one more test just to be sure." She said looking down at me. I wanted to complain but if she found it necessary for my health, I just had to go through with it.

"Mhm." Was the noise I made as a response. The nurse then smiled at me.

"Okay, the doctor will be right in with you." She said leaving the room. I watched the door for a couple of seconds after she left. I sighed loudly as I begin to think about ho was going to get back into contact. Today I have to Tony 's job. I hope I don't get lost. As a I laid there in bed I started to notice how tight and uncomfortable my bladder felt. Gotta go relieve myself. I used a lot of strength to stand up on one foot and hop to the restroom.I only fell back when I was at the end of the bed, but I pushed myself back up and managed to make it.

After the doctor came back, him and the nurse ran one of those important test that they had subjected me to the day before. It didn't last long but it was suspenseful. I kept wondering what if they found something this time. But lucky for me they didn't. So now here I am in a wheel chair and discharged.

I rolled out of the hospital accompanied by a male nurse. When we came out to the parking lot I remembered that I could see Stark Industries in the distance from my window. Obviously it was very far. But hat's where I needed to get to. The nurse helped me out of the wheel chair and on to the crutches that they had given me. I turned around slightly to the male nurse.

"Thank you for helping me." I said awkwardly. He nodded his head and smiled.

"You're welcome. Have a nice day miss." He said. I smiled and nodded to him.

"Bye." I said. Then I walked to the sidewalk and waited for the light to turn red. When the light changed I leaned over the road slightly to watch for cars. I saw that there were none coming and crossed the street as carefully as I could. On this street it had apartments that were made out of red bricks. Using my crutches I walked down the sidewalk in front of the apartments.

A man that was walking his German shepherd looked at me in pity and gave me a small smile. Oh come on! I only have a broken leg! I really need to get to Stark industries. A couple of feet away a city bus stopped to load and unload passengers. I walked over to the door opening and looked up at the female driver.

"Excuse me, does this bus go near near Stark Industries?" I asked her. She down at me.

"Yeah, sure it does. But it doesn't stop there so you will need to get off before we pass it." She said. I nodded to her.

"Okay. How much is the fair?" I asked.

"85 cents." She responded. I reached into my bed hoping for loose change which was all that I had to my name. Thankfully I had found the right amount and put it into the toll. When the bus started moving I held onto the buses wall while trying to keep my crutches up. The I sat down on the seat closest to the door. The bus ride took about ten minutes before the driver alerted me that the next stop would be the last one before we passed Stark Industries. So I pulled on the rope.

After I got off the bus I found myself in front of an cafe. I looked up at the Stark Industries building. I wasn't that far, maybe a 5 minute walk away. I wasn't far from the bus stop when a piece of the ground decided that it wanted to be higher then the rest and tripped me. Now normally I easily catch myself when this happens. However being on crutches I landed awkwardly on my good knee while I concentrated on not hurting the other one and held it out. My crutches were in the back of me like I was skiing.

I groaned sadly at myself. I needed help. But I have no one to help me. I guess I'll to suck it up. Cheer up, I thought to myself. Stark Industries was not that away. As I tried to right the crutches a pair came into view. I looked up to see who they belonged to. And it was Captain America! He bent down to me to be somewhat eye level with me.

"Need help?" He asked. I nodded my head.

"Yes." I said. Then he lifted me onto my crutches by my arm pits. "whoa." I said. "Thanks."

"No problem. You looked like really needed it. " He said.

"I did." I said. After that I wasn't sure where we should take the conversation. Luckily my stomach can since things like this. It rumbled loudly and Steve looked down at it.

"Sorry." I apologized. I have a tendency to do that for things that I have no control over. I know weird right?

"No, it 's alright..." Steve said, then he looked back at the cafe. "I was gonna have lunch, uh, would you like to join me? I already have a table." He said. He looked like he half expected me to reject I only had breakfast at the hospital. And that was hours before I was discharged.

"Yes! I mean yes. I would really like that..." Then I remembered that I was...well for lack of a better word, broke."I mean, I can't. I don't have any money." I said to him. He shook his head.

"No, I invited you. My treat." He said. I looked up him in surprise. No one has ever offered to buy lunch for me before. He was so nice. I smiled widely at him.

"Thank you so much Steve!" I said, and Steve smiled back at me.

"No, it's really good to have company for a table's right over here." He said guiding me the table.
