Emily started coming round from when she passed out and was shocked when she didn't wake up strapped down to a hospital bed. She sat up hastily panicking as she looked around the room, this was definitely not a room in Stark tower. "Oh goodie, you're awake" came a voice behind her, she turned around to see the guy in the red and back costume from earlier.

Emily continued looking around at her surroundings, "you're at my apartment" he continued to tell her.

"Why did you rescue me?" Emily finally asked looking at him,

"Oh don't flatter yourself sugar tits, I was just out there trying to catch someone on my naughty list, he was the last one I needed to cross off."

"So what exactly did he do to you?" Emily asked pretty sure she knew what the answer was going to be.

"That cock thistle turned me into this freak" he told her fiddling with his mask and lifting it off his head, Emily looked at him and his skin was disfigured. "I used to think catching him would be the only chance to become hot again but I soon found out its permanent, so I decided to make sure that they couldn't do this again. Especially now that I've got my super hot sexy girlfriend back"

"So you're like a super hero?" Emily asked and the guy chuckled,

"I am definitely not a superhero kid, and I will never will be. I'm just a bad guy who likes to fuck up bigger bad guys" he told her now unzipping his costume and pulling it down, Emily quickly looked away as he was now standing fully nude a few feet away getting changed. "So you never told me your name?"

"Emily," she told him still looking away trying to focus on anything else apart from the naked guy. "So what is your real name?"

"Wade Wilson" he said now standing in front of her fully dressed, "so now you're awake and I know I won't get attacked by your boyfriend, shall we make a move to stark towers? I really don't want to be introduced to the boy band that is the avengers"

Wade had given Emily some of Vanessa's clothes to change into so she wasn't walking around in a hospital gown. She examined her appearance in the bathroom mirror and she looked exhausted, her face was thin and bruised. Her eyes wandered down her body and she looked dreadful. As much as she couldn't wait to be with her super soldiers again but she seriously didn't want them to see her like this.

Once she was dressed, Wade walked with her to the tower. It turned out that they both got each other's sense of humor and could have a laugh about things, Emily was relieved to know that she wasn't completely broken. "So I'm being serious, next time you see one of them land check it out. They all do a superhero landing and you know what it's really hard on your knees... Very impractical"

They were now on the same street as the Stark Tower, "Wade, thank you" Emily told him,

"Look here's my number," he passed her a business card, 'Pool, Dead. X-force' "I don't like to discriminate," he gestured towards the name. "If something happens and you need help call me. I don't think the cock womble has been able to do anything to you"

Emily nodded and took the card, slipping it into her trouser pocket. Emily wrapped her arms around Wade for a few moments before now walking towards the tower. Before she could even enter the building fully she was greeted by Tony. He had obviously been alerted by some system within the tower. He gave one look at Emily before speaking up, "FRIDAY, contact Roger and Barnes and get them to meet me in the medical unit"

"Kiddo, what did they do to you" Tony asked as he embraced her and then started leading her to the medical unit. Emily knew she looked terrible, but what made it strange is she wasn't currently feeling pain. She felt fine and she knew she shouldn't be feeling this way, she wondered if she was in shock or would the pain come rushing in after the adrenaline.

She found herself sat on a chair in the medical unit with machines attached to her, she started shouting and fighting back at Tony when he tried to ease her onto the hospital bed. Flashbacks of being restrained on the bed kept coming and she refused to be on it. Dr Cho was now examining her while Tony waited on the other side of the curtain.

"Stark this better be good" Emily could hear Bucky say, "we need to be out searching for Emily"

Dr cho now left the cubicle, "now behind curtain number one" Tony said, pulling the curtain open. Emily looked at Steve and Bucky, they looked exhausted and dark shadows rested below their eyes.

"Emily," Steve said his voice appeared to crack, he rushed over to her getting onto his knees. "Are you okay doll?" Bucky had made his way towards her, his hands resting on her shoulders.

Emily closed her eyes trying not to cry she didn't know where to start. "It's okay baby doll, we're here" Bucky told her squeezing her as gently as he could.

Emily told Steve and Bucky what had happened both of them refusing to leave her side. Tony hovered close by, she could see some sort of guilt clouding his eyes and she knew he blamed himself for this happening to her. When she point blank refused to go anywhere near a hospital bed and they all realized she would stay in the chair all night if she had to, Dr Cho discharged her for the evening.

Bucky who refused to even move from her side at all carried her up to their apartment and bought her to the bedroom. He slid into bed with her in his arms and waited for her to fall fall asleep before placing her down between the two of them. Steve and Bucky gave each other a look and they both agreed to talk about this in the morning. Right now, it wasn't the time. They needed to let Emily rest.
