"What?" Dasha slammed her hand on the desk as her fiery eyes were on her boss "You can't do that! Not now"
Dr. Cooper gave her a stern look "Temper Dasha. I can't afford you to hurt your hand at this timely matter, we do need you here." The young doctor pursed her lips in frustration as she scoffed and started to walk around the chief's office. It was more than what she can chew at the moment and of course her boss didn't know what he was talking about.
"It's not that bad-" the pepper haired man paused when he heard the vicious laugh from his employee.
"Not that bad?" she turned to face him "I have to deal with interns, Dr. Cooper. Interns don't know what to do and most of them freeze when it comes to dealing with a real emergency. Why can't you assign them to someone else who has patience for this?"
It was taking all of her power not to flip the desk over in rage as she saw the look in his eyes "I can't do that" she pinched the bridge of her nose as she placed a hand on her hip "I'm sorry but you are one of the best and I want you to pass your knowledge to fresh interns. You won't be here forever"
"Neither will you" she snapped back.
Dr. Cooper stood up from his desk taking off his glasses "Listen to me now Dasha and listen well. You are gifted in what you do and you never had a batch of interns before in the few years that you worked here and quite frankly I know you remember the time you were an intern and hoped to work with one of the best. Do you see where I am going with this?"
The honey chocolate haired woman crossed her arms as she listened to every word that he said, it made sense but she didn't want to deal with interns. They were like fragile beings, kind of like Bambi, their eyes held with innocence and this internship is going to knock that innocence right out of them. It was going to be so easy to do so without her doing anything.
The harsh reality of a hospital of this caliber is heavy and them working with her in the children's wing was nothing short of special. Her eyes glanced at her superior before she said "I'm not changing to accommodate to their needs"
"I'm not asking you to"
With no other words exchanged Dasha left the room thinking of those doe eyed interns that she would have to face in a few minutes. Checking her watch she blew the bangs that were hiding her eyes out of her face as she pulled her hair up into a ponytail. "Dr. Swan" her eyes looked back to see Jak jogging towards her, when she entered the elevator to take her to the first floor she stuck her foot out so he can join her.
Once he entered she hit the first floor button again before settling on the side closing her eyes hoping to gain some of her calamity before the stupid questions and comments her interns were going to say to her. "Heard you have a group of interns"
"You're point?" she opened one of her eyes before closing it.
"Nothing. Just you teaching" a laugh came out of his lips when he said that "it's going to be interesting"
A sigh left her lips as she turned her head as a smile crossed her lips "I couldn't agree more. I'm going to be as bitchy as possible. Nothing wrong with making the interns lives a living hell" Jak smiled with her "Didn't think you would do anything less"
Once the elevator doors open Jak wished her luck as he did his runs, the first floor was filled with patients waiting to be emitted in the hospital. While others were just pacing around probably waiting for the good news about the person they are waiting for. Dasha felt weird walking into this side of the hospital at this time of day.
Usually she walked at this part when she came in or walked out of work. Her eyes were glued to several bodies of people in blue scrubs in groups talking among themselves. "Swan! I see that you are having interns this year" she turned around seeing a doctor she hasn't talked to in a while.
"Amy, it has been a while and yeah I got stuck with a bunch of toddlers." She muttered.
"Join the club. Been doing this for two years and…there are good days"
Dasha gave her a look "You don't look so sure about that" Amy just laughed as she shook her head before shoving her hands in her pockets "Just make the best out of it, there are a few duds but there are always potential surgeons" she smiled before they both stopped in front of the groups.
"Hello everyone, I'm Amy Sometimes and yes that is my real name and this is Dasha Swan as some of you know already. If I call your name you are going to be assigned to me so is-" Amy called out four names as those four walked over to her Dasha could hear the mutters from the other interns. The doctor was well aware that she made an impression in the medical world.
Nothing too big but she was known for being…aggressive in getting what she wants.
Amy gave her another smile of reassurance before telling her group of interns to follow her that was when Dasha gazed at every single one of the interns hoping that she would get good ones and none of the duds. Not everything is sweet as cotton candy. Here we go.
Lifting the clipboard that she has in her hands as she said "If I call your name please step forward and I don't want anyone to talk because I will not repeat anyone's name twice; you don't come forward the first time around I guess you can have a good time working with someone else but you will be lucky if a doctor takes any of you in because if not then I guess this is the end of your intern career at this hospital. So here we go"
She wanted to smile seeing the terrified looks of the fresh faces but kept it to herself at the silence as she read off the clipboard. "Bradford Withers…weird name" watching the tall African American male stepped forward she rose a brow "Thought you would be white with that kind of name" she could see the irritated look that her intern was giving her but stayed silent and she only smiled at him in return. "Javier Villa" another male with tan skin stepped forward and avoided eye contact all together.
She bit her lip seeing the terrified look that was shown in his eyes and couldn't help but make him squirm "Just because you avoid eye contact Villa does not mean I don't see that you are afraid of me" a few giggles were heard from the huge group of inters which she glared at. They immediately were silenced as she asked "Did I say you could laugh?"
"Mallory Kullan" a woman stepped forward and all she could think of was that she hoped that she wasn't a crier. She couldn't deal with emotional woman that couldn't handle blood or dying patients and seeing the soft brown wavy hair and hazel eyes that held that naivety was making her sick.
Dasha didn't say anything to the woman as she looked down once again and read the last name on her list "Tyler Adams" she wanted to cheer that she only had one female intern, she worked well with men they were less emotional and easier to work with when it came to pressured situations. The experienced doctor's heart deflated when she saw an auburn haired woman stepping up with her line of interns.
She scanned this woman seeing the curly dark red hair that fell off her shoulders as her big brown eyes shined with great innocence that she only saw in interns. It was so easy to tell she was an intern but she froze there looking at the woman that had the heart shaped face, the thin pink lips, the dark chocolate eyes that reminded her of-
She shook her head before tapping the clipboard on her leg "Alright, follow me while I go over the rules" she quickly turned around as she walked swiftly down the hall "Now there are only a few rules you could follow while I am around, if I page you, you come to me immediately. I don't care if you are eating or catching up on your sleep, when I need you I need you. Also never question me on where I station you, no ifs, ands, or buts. And this" she opened the door to reveal bunk beds.
"This is where you will sleep. Not like you are going to get much of that anyways. Also this will be the craziest time of your life you will ever have so if you have any doubts and do not want a social life then this is the job for you if not then walk out right now." she looked at every single one of her interns "Oh and I hate every single one of you and that is never going to change in a million years so no kissing ass. Not on my turf. Any questions?"
The priceless looks she was getting was more than satisfying as she smiled "Good. Let's get started" waving her hand as she had her ducklings follow her every single inch that day.
Finally after a long day she dismissed her interns as they were starting to get on her nerves, none of them could get anything right. They were paralyzed every single emergency that she had and whenever she gave them a simple command they would freeze up until she yelled at them.
Dasha knew that she should be kinder to her interns but her teacher was not kind to her he was a tough lover and it made her prepared for this world. There was no time to wimp out and freeze over every single injury they see and just like she predicted the brunette girl was a bit of a crier. Go figure. Rubbing her temples she rubbed the back of her neck as she walked down the hall towards Scott's room.
She would never let her interns go anywhere near Scott's room. They were too inexperienced to deal with someone like him; he was a special case and was gladly protecting him from every single one of the doctors in this facility.
Just as she was inching closer to his room she saw the psychiatric therapist walk out of his room "How is he holding up?" Dasha questioned. The woman looked up from her notes as she saw the doctor "Dr. Swan, I would love to say that he is improving but he really hasn't said a word to me since he was emitted here but I do know he will improve sooner or later"
"Thank you"
Sonny smiled at her "No problem." The blond popped her head back in "See you tomorrow Scottie" before walking off with that skip in her step.
When Dasha walked in she could see that he wasn't as pale as he was "You will get used to her. She's a bit chirpy but it tones down after a while" trying to lift his hopes up as his dark eyes followed her every room as she checked his vitals.
"You look healthier, not as pale anymore. Blood pressure is good and everything in the lab came back good" Dasha paused when she heard a small voice echo in the room. "I don't like her" she blinked hoping that who she heard was Scott ever since she watched over him all he has done was cry or shout at her, this was something new.
"You don't like her either?" he shook his head as she put a hand on her hip "Between you and me I don't like her either. It's like she has rainbows and ponies shooting out of her ass" a smile crept on the boy's face as she said that.
"I would love to see that" her dark eyes turned to the direction where the voice came from to see Tony leaning on the doorframe with a small smile on his face. Dasha rolled her eyes "What are you doing here?" grabbing the clipboard from the bed and writing her updates on Scott's condition.
"To see you. Duh. Who's the kid?" nodding towards Scott.
Dasha thought it would be fun to play with him since he does get on her nerves every waking moment; he was driving her crazier than before. She thought he was overbearing now but now that he has come back 'from the dead' as he proclaims and doesn't want to waste another waking moment screwing up he has been in more contact with her.
"Mine" she answered, putting the clipboard at the edge of the bed where it belongs.
Tony's eyes were a little shocked "He's yours? Wow, didn't expect that. A little too old to be your kid though unless…" he muttered to himself as he glanced at the child in the bed. Scott looked confused as to what was going on and couldn't believe that his doctor would lie about something like that.
Why was she being so mean to him?
His doe eyes gave him another glance as he scooted farther away from Tony, inching closer to Dasha for protection of some sort. Dasha saw the action of the kid "Why don't you wait outside Tony?"
"Why? I am perfectly fine right here"
"I said…outside" she replied sternly before turning her attention to the young boy running her hand through his curly locks "Everything is going to be just fine. Why don't you get some rest" she muttered. Scott kept looking at the door way seeing that it was still open, Dasha saw his concern as she walked over and closed the door seeing Tony's sheepish face.
"Better?"
There was no answer as she turned away telling him that if he needed her all he has to do was press the button and she would be notified. As she was about to open the door his little voice shouted out "Wait!" she turned her head waiting for him to say whatever he had to say "I can't fall asleep" he nibbled on his lip waiting for her to say something.
Dasha held a look of compassion as she let go of the door knob and walked over to Scott running a hand through his hair like usual "Close your eyes" he did what he was told "and relax. Relax" she kept repeating herself as her hand ran through his hair as his body slowly started to fall limp and his breathing got slower.
With a tired heart she got up and walked out of the room and seeing Tony only had her more tired "What do you want?" seeing that he was following her when she ignored him. "I want to take you out to dinner"
She turned her head around "I rather not deal with any of this right now. I am dead tired and I don't want to eat. I want to sleep" she grumbled rubbing her tired eyes. Tony saw the black circles around her eyes and how her body was barely holding itself up.
"You do look horrible"
Dasha rolled her eyes as she mumbled "Not today Stark"
"Then how about you come back to my place?" she glared at him as she kept walking away from him and he ran after her and blocked her path "Hear me out. You could have a relaxing bath, I rub your back and you fall asleep. Nothing dirty…unless you want it to be"
Dasha was thinking of all the possibilities of turning him down but everything he said sounded so good excluding the dirty part. She was disgusted that after all this time he still went after her, she thought that what he said to her previously about having her as motivation to escape was all a fluke.
She was beginning to think that he was saying that to every single woman he hit on since he came back but remembering how sincere he was, that look was appearing on his face once again. The dark skinned woman cursed at herself for being so weak as she accepted his offer. "I am driving my own car" she pointed at him.
"Fair enough"
As they exited out of the hospital she happily greeted Happy "Good evening Happy"
"Good evening Dasha. Have a great day at work?"
"Could be better. I was assigned interns today" she cringed at the thought again as Happy tried to feel her pain. "Interns? You never told me about this" Tony muttered as he tried to be included in the conversation but every time he tried to Dasha would easily kick him out of it.
"See you later" waving at the men.
"My house Swan" Tony pointed at the younger woman who waved her hand dismissively telling him that she already knew. He sighed as he looked at Happy who gave him a look "What?"
"You do know that you aren't going to get her in your bed, right?" Happy said with reason.
"I know that. What? I can't be nice to a woman that I adore?"
Happy gave him a strange look. "Nice? Adore? Who are you and what have you done with Tony?"
"Ha ha. Just drive" leaning back in the seat as Happy just laughed at Tony's expression as he pulled out of the parking lot and saw Dasha's car following them. The driver just looked impressed that the doctor kept her word; maybe she was only doing so because she didn't want a troublesome Tony bugging her at every waking moment.
Having Tony around interns would not be such a great idea.
Dasha's wary eyes looked side to side as she entered the bathroom that was cleared out just for her; the bath was already ready which was weird but then Tony told her that Pepper prepared for it as they were heading out here. Patting the stack of towels on the counter "Here are your towels. Anything else you want just ask"
Dasha looked at Tony seeing he was standing there "What now?"
"Aren't you going to invite me in?"
"Get out before I cut your balls off" Tony threw his hands in defense as he backed out of the bathroom "I was kidding. I'll be downstairs if you need me"
Dasha muttered "Kidding, yeah right" her eyes scanned the bathroom head to toe checking to see that there weren't any cameras in the bathroom. She wasn't stupid, with his kind of money he probably had cameras installed at every inch of this house. Biting her lip she took off her clothes as the steamy tub enticed her to hop right in.
As she put her first leg in the water her body started to relax as she moaned in delight as her muscles soon started to relax. "This is too good" she muttered sinking her half of her face in the water. She had her hair up in a bun not wanting to mess up her freshly straightened hair, she hated her frizzy out of control hair and having it nicely done was the only treat she gave herself.
Taking her time in the tub she was in there until the water was cool and her body was pruny, glad that Tony didn't bother her. She was getting out of the tub, grabbing a towel "Dasha are you-" her head instantly looked up to see Tony's priceless expression before a lustful smirk rested on his face.
"!" she wrapped a towel around herself before chucking things at him as he yelped.
"Dasha! Hold on a minute! I thought you were drowning yourself or something"
"Good excuse asshole" she growled.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. You have a better body than I expected…okay that came out wrong" the object in her hands she raised above her head waiting for him to say something else that would piss her off and have her throw something at him.
With nothing more to say Tony left the room with that same smile on his face, despite not sleeping with her that was just a consolation prize and it was good. Really good. Heat rushed to her cheeks as her heart pounded having a man see her naked. It has really been a long time since she let a man see her naked and to have this accidently happen, it had to happen with Tony of all people.
That is, if he planned this out all along.
She curled her hand into a fist, trying to hide all her rage from what has happened. Leaning against the wall she banged her head a few times letting out a frustrated whine before drying herself off and walking out of the bathroom getting and got in bed before anything else happened. Her mind wasn't all that sharp today when it came to Tony and she wanted to bash herself for accepting his stupid offer.
She's glad that he didn't come in and ask for the massage he was going to give her; she has enough crap happen to her today. Dasha did not want Tony touching her in any way after what just happened.
I am so sorry that it has been so long since I have updated. I have been swamped with tests and homework from college and I had to work double shifts for quite a while at my work so when I did have time off I was too tired to write a chapter. Hope this makes up for it. Some little action in there haha nakedness action. Tell me what you think.
Wall of awesomeness

amycakes (Yes and doctor Amy has made another small appearance :D thank you so much and that sincerity towards Tony hasn't come back in this chapter haha adding this to the list of why she dislikes the man)
MissCaityGrace (Dasha did warm up to him but she warmed up in a different way this chapter haha)
Liberty Blake (Tony strikes again and made Dasha made at him yet again and yes he does love pushing her buttons and I love writing about their bickering or pushing each other's buttons.)
ICoulson (I feel completely honored that you love my story so far and so sorry for taking so long. Hope you forgive me and I have a slight obsession with Mr Downey himself. He's such a nice and funny person anyone would love him. Thank you and I detest Mary Sue characters it makes me roll my eyes every single time there is one and I just don't bother reading those stories. No one wants to read about someone that is perfect all the time. Where's the fun in that?)

Lady Luna Destiny (Thanks and I tried to capture Tony as much as possible. It is hard for me at times to capture someone's character and keep them like they are, hope he doesn't turn too OOC every time I update a chapter)
