I screamed
I sat upright in bed, tangled in the sheets, andactuallyy drenched in sweat. My heart racing and my breathing ragged. I tumpled out of bed, the room was spinning, I pulled myself across the carpet- causing burns on my elbows and knees. As I reached the giant bathroom, I lifted myself into the shower. I slipped, catching my head and leg on the corner of the tiles, causing two large gashes. I sighed in relief as the cold water washed over my body. The water rinsed the sweat and blood of, as well as removing my nightmare.
I lied in the shower, fully clothed in my pajamas, until my breathing reached a normal pace. I slowly got up, and walked back to my room. Changing into a pair of jogging shorts and a vest top.
"Miss Stark, is everything alright?" Jarvis asked
"I'll be alright" I croaked
"Miss, would you like me to inform your father, or prehaps Dr Banner or Miss Romanoff.."
"No thank you Jarvis, I'll be alright"
"Miss, I suggest you make your way to floor 94. There is a full first aid kit in the kitchen"
I stumbled over to the elevator,pressing 94. When I reached the floor I staggered over to the kitchen in the partial darkness, falling over and banging my head on the ground. I glanced up at the hologram clock, it read 2:45am. I groaned, trying to lift myself of the floor, my energy was draining out of my body.
Suddenly, the lift dinged. Who would be up at this hour? No. Please tell me Jarvis didn't wake everyone up, i thought- secretly praying. I heared the lift doors open, the person walked out but stopped in their tracks.
"Anna" Steves pannicked voice called, running over to my bloody body on the floor. He scooped me up gently and placed me on the sofa, running to get the first aid kit. When he returned he started to mop up the blood, which had covered my face.
"What happened?" He asked
"Nightmare, I fell" I just about got out.
Steve frowned but carried on cleening my cut.
"Jarvis" steve called " Call Dr Banner"
Within minutes Bruce rushed out the elevator.
"What's going on?" He asked
"Anna has hurt herself" steve replied
Bruce came over to me, turning the lights on. He reached down and took over from steve- cleaning my head and leg wounds. Bruce then placed a few steri strips across the wounds- sealing them
"Steve, could you get a glass of water and some ice for her head"
Steve walked over to the kitchen and returned with said items. Bruce took the water and held it to my lips. I gulped down a few mouthfuls of the cool water, refreshing my mouth. I slowly tried to sit up, bruce helping me. Steve sat next to me, to support my body, and held a cloth full of ice to the bruise on my forehead.
"Anna, what happened?" Bruce asked questioningly
"I dreamed about a mission i had been on, but when I woke I was disorientated. I made my way to the shower to calm down but I tripped" I said, gesturing towards my injuries
"Do you want to talk about your dream?" Bruce asked
"No, not really" I replied. Bruce sighed but got up to wash his hands. "Thank you"
Bruce smiled. "Steve, call me if anything happens. Get some rest" he said walking back to the elevator. It was already 3:40
"He's right" Steve said, leaning me against the sofa. "Get rest"
"I've had worst" I replied smirking. "What were you doing up?" I asked closing my eyes
"Couldn't sleep" Steve replied
With that I drifted into unconsciousness
I awoke about 3 hours later to the sound of the elevator. I heared Clint and Nat talking as they came out.
"Hey cap whoa.." Clint said, walking over. "Who's your friend? Why does she look like someone from night of the living dead?"
I stuck my tongue out at Clint, making him chuckle.
"I'm fine, people are just over reacting. I have had so much worse"
"True" Natasha said, walking over to get breakfast
"Nat, can I have blueberry pancakes?" I asked. She nodded and the guys chuckled
"How are you feeling?" Steve asked
"Hungry. And fine" I added seeing Steve frown
"what did you actually do?" Clint asked, taking a seat
" She fell" Bruce answered, walking in. "How are you feeling?" He asked, looking at me
I groaned. "I'm fine, would people stop panicking". I leaned forward and stood up.
"Is that really the best idea?" Steve said. He didn't push the point further when he saw the death glare I gave him
I walked over to a stool and sat down next to Nat, who was already eating. Yawning, I grabbed my food and dug in. The elevator dinged again, announcing the entrance of Thor and my father.
"Morning" my dad said, coming over to get coffee. Everybody came over, taking seats and getting food. My dad pulled up a seat opposite me and sat down.
"What happened to your face?" My dad blurted out, noticing the stripps ons my forehead. Rolling my eyes, I ignored him, I let Bruce inform him. He gave a worried glance but I let it go.
"So what is everyone doing today?" I asked, looking around
"We're working on a project in the lab" my dad said, gesturing to Bruce and himslef.
"Me and Nat are looking into leads on hydra" Clint said
"I'll be helping these two" steve answered, nodding towards Natasha and Clint "but after I've been to the park" he added
"Oh, can I come?" I asked
"Sure, but only if your feeling ok" Steve answered
"Well I feel ok so I'll meet you in a minute" I answered sarcastically, walking to the elevators to get changed
