A/N: We are so sorry for not updating! A lot of really crappy stuff has happened and it has been really hard to find the time to write chapters. So I hope you enjoy this little one shot until we get the story back on track!

Maya POV

"Charles! You lied to me! A miracle where you can walk again is a hell of a lot different from drugs where the side effect is losing your powers!"

"I know Maya, but I-"Charles began before a small brunette came into the room. She looked flustered and very pale.

"Um… Professor?" She hesitantly asked before stepping into the room. Slowly Charles turned toward the young girl,

"Yes, Tiana?"

"I don't feel very well." She muttered when of course she started puking.

I ran toward the small girl and tried to pick her up when, of freakin course, she puked on me. What I didn't expect is it to start rapidly burning through my shirt and my skin.

"Shi-Shoot." I mutter throwing off my shirt. I backed up from her as I watched by severely burnt skin heal.

"I-I have acid p-powers." She managed to say as she clutched her stomach and groaned. I kneeled by her and put my hand carefully on her forehead to check her temperature.

Tiana was burning up, most likely a 100 degree fever or higher. I sighed, knowing that the poor child couldn't just sit there.

"Okay, hon, well luckily I can heal." I gritted my teeth and picked up the girl, despite Charles's protests, and ran her toward the infirmary.

As I burst opened the door Hank looked up from his telescope. Seeing the girl in my arms he shot up and walked hurriedly toward us.

"Don't touch her." I told him and I carefully sat her onto one of the beds.

"Well I kind of need too, in order to see what's wrong with her." He argued reaching a gloved hand out toward Tiana.

Quickly I grabbed his hand and pushed him away,

"She has weird acid power and if you touch any of the puke she will burn you. Plus, I already know she has a high fever."

Suddenly a high pitched sneeze came from Tiana which resulted in part of the bed disintegrating.

"Sorry." She whispered. The poor girl looked absolutely horribly sick. And I'm the only one who can take care of her.

"Alright Hank, you need to leave and tell the other students to stay out of her. We really don't want anyone to catch this fever, let alone get burned. If I need anything I will text- no I will tell Charles through telepathy."

Hank started at me for a minute with a look that was either extreme concern or confusion,

"Okay. Well, um, bye." Awkwardly he left the infirmary, leaving me with a girl who could easily kill someone without healing powers.

I walked over to one of the cupboards and grabbed a bottle of ibuprofen and a paper cup.

"How old are you?" I ask Tiana as I filled up the paper cup with ice cold water.

"Ten." I heard her whisper weakly. I sighed and took out one of the small container. It was extremely hard to get this stuff, but after me convincing Charles and Charles convincing the hospital we got our hands on some.

"Alright take this; it should help with the pain." I handed her the items and she slowly puts the pill in her mouth and drank down the water.

"Ms. Barton?" She asks me, her dark eyes looking up at me with the most innocent look I have ever seen.

"Yeah?'' I reply sitting down on the bed next to her.

"Are you and Professor going to break up?" She hesitantly says.

I sighed looking away from the small girl. I didn't even know the answer to the question. I mean what am I going to do? Ask the Doctor to take me home if we do? What will everyone think if they find out about my powers? Plus I mean SHIELD will probably either knock me off The Avengers or take me in and send me off on a mission. Here nobody cares what I do and I have somebody who really loves me.

"I don't know Tiana."

"Well if you need a friend you can talk to me." She offers taking my hand with a bright smile on her face.

Suddenly she lets out a huge sneeze, covering me in acid, and ruining the moment.

I leap off from the bed and rush to the sink to try and get some of the acid off. I gasp as the pain just get stronger and I collapse onto the floor.

WHY THE HELL AM I NOT HEALING?!

Suddenly the pain becomes too much and I start screaming. I barely hear Tiana yelling my name. All I can feel is the burning pain everywhere,

Suddenly the infirmary door bursts open revealing Hank and Alex.

"YOU NEED TO GET OUT!" I scream at them as I try to get up, but failing terribly. I lean against the counter behind me and gasp as the pain just gets more and more intense.

"Alex, carefully take Tiana to her room." I hear Hank tell him.

"No, he-"I began to mutter but I'm just too weak from the pain to continue.

I feel cold hands lift me up onto the bed that was across from Tiana's.

"Now Maya I am going to give you something that will increase your powers. I have modified it though so it's not permanent. It will only last about 5 minutes." Hank tells me.

Okay, Maya. You need to breathe. Just breathe.

Slowly I take in slow breaths when I feel a sharp pain in my wrist. I grab the sheets under the bed and hear a familiar rip.

I look down and see my nails had come out and now precede the rip everything.

The pain quickly amplifies and I scream and roll of the bed and shakily get up and try to run away. As I reach the door strong arms wrap around my waist and I scream louder and louder.

Slowly, but surely the pain starts fading away. I begin to relax and I let my legs go out from underneath me. Soon follows the awaited darkness as well.

My eyes open to a very bright, and annoying, light above me.

"The hell?" I mutter sitting up on the bed I'm laying on.

"Maya?" A familiar voice whispered beside me.

I look over to see Charles sitting in a chair right beside me. He looks rugged and in desperate need of sleep.

"What's wrong with you?" I ask him as I lay back down onto the bed.

"Well when your girlfriend in severely burned by acid without any help from her magical healing powers you would look like this too." He tells me, his voice full of stress.

"I don't have a girlfriend so it looks like only beauty days are ahead of me." I mutter rolling over so I'm facing him.

He chuckles and I smile up at him. Slowly he leans down and kisses me tenderly.

I gladly lean into it when I remember the fight we had the night before. Then Tiana-

"Oh crap! Tiana!" I yell jumping up from the bed. Quickly I throw open Charles drawers and throw on one of his shirts-I was still in my bra from when Tiana first threw up on me- and begin to head out the door.

"Whoa! Maya!" Charles yells as he runs after me.

Not listening to him I take off down the hallway, searching for Tiana's room.

"Maya!" I hear again but louder, and in my head.

Angrily, I whip around to face him.

"What, Charles?" I ask him, my voice filled with steely anger.

"Tiana's fine. Hank gave her something that helped calm the fever. She's perfectly fine." With the last sentence he stepped towards me, so he was right next to me.

"Okay." I whisper and denying every bone in my body, I wrap my arms around him into a tight hug.

"And we're fine." He whispers and places a kiss on top of my head.
