Requested by: tiger fan 30976 and guest - Ava/White Tiger getting sick

"I'm going to kill you Web-Head."

Ava Ayala, aka White Tiger, crashed on her couch as soon as she came back to her apartment in Gotham with an 105 degree fever.

"I said I was sorry! But to be fair, I told you loud and, well, not exactly clear, but I told you I was sick!"

"I thought you said you had a minor cold!"

Just as Ava started yelling, her throat ached harshly. Peter grimaced as he heard his long-time friend wince.

"Well, I'm going to say bye now. Feel better Tiger."

"Curse you."

The last thing Ava before she hang up was Peter laughing. She layed back and covered her eyes with a cold rag. Ten minutes later, her phone rang again, this time, it was her boyfriend calling.

Ava groaned when she saw the name on her screen and tried to sound as 'not sick' as she could before answering.

"Hey beautiful."

The tigress smiled at the sound of her boyfriend's voice.

"Hi Grayson."

Ava sneezed. Dick, being the protege of the Bat, assumed the worst.

"Are you sick?"

She froze. "No."

Ava could practically hear him raise an eyebrow. "Ava-"

"I'm fine. I don't get si-"

The tigress grabbed the bowl that was on her coffee table.

-With Dick-

Twenty seconds later, the first boy wonder could hear Ava vomiting over the phone. Dick sighed and waited patiently for Ava to finish.

"I'm coming over."

He could feel Ava panicking over the phone.

"No no no no no. I do not need you to come over."

"See you when I get there."

"Dick-"

-With Ava-

Ava groaned when her boyfriend hung up. She whined before throwing the cold wet rag over her eyes again.

Thirty minutes later, Ava heard the lock on her apartment door click before the door itself opened.

"Ava?"

Out of habit, her ears perked up at the sound of Dick's voice.

"On the couch."

Ava lifted the rag off her face when she heard the protege of the bat's footsteps.

Dick looked at her sympathetically.

"How you feeling?"

Ava grabbed a tissue and sneezed.

"Like a living corpse."

The first boy wonder cracked a grin before pulling something from behind his back.

"It's a good thing I brought Alfred's chicken soup then."

Ava cooed happily when she saw the container full of warmth and reached for it. "Gimme."

Dick laughed before walking into Ava's kitchen and returning with a spoon. He handed the container and spoon to her before sitting on the couch.

"Alfred, and everyone else says feel better. Damian says stay away from him and Bruce says you're not aloud in the Batcave until your fever is completely gone."

Ava looked up from the soup with furrowed eyebrows. "Tell Alfred thanks for the soup. Oh, and tell Bruce and Damian that I feel the love."

Dick laughed before standing up and walking towards the TV.

"Which one do you want to watch? Hunger Games or Pride and Prejudice and Zombies?" (Author's Note: I read and loved the book and adore the movie, and I'm really excited that it comes out on DVD on the nineteenth. No judging.)

Ava grinned lopsidedly. "PPZ please!"

Dick chuckled before inserting the DVD in the player. As the screen showed the opening scene, Dick sat back on the couch before pulling Ava close.

Ava being Ava tried pull away. "Stop."

Dick raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"I'm not getting you sick. Bruce would kill me."

The acrobat snorted before pulling his girlfriend close. "I can deal with Bruce. Just let me take care of you, okay?"

The tigress struggled for a fer minutes before sighing and snuggling into the warmth Dick's body radiated."

"Okay."

The couple made it to the end of the ballroom scene before Ava threw up again.
