"Mr Stark, there is a problem with Miss Inès."

For fuck sake, what's happening, I want to sleep.

"Mr Stark, can you hear me? Mr Stark, you need to wake up urgently."

"F.R.I.D.A.Y. what the hell?!", I turn around to look at my digital clock, "It's three in the morning!"

"Mr Stark I am sorry to awake you but Miss Inès as a problem breathing, since I am not allowed to call the paramedics to the Compound I had to–", the AI answers.

"You had to wake me got it, gosh", I try to rub the sleepiness off of my face. What could be happening at three in the morning?

"F.R.I.D.A.Y. is that concern that I detected in your voice?", I snicker as I start to get up. Silly of me F.R.I.D.A.Y. doesn't know emotions.

Fuck, what now, first, the girl appears out of nowhere and seems super informed about us, and then she has a mysterious problem in the middle of the night, after what? I'll grow a second head? Well thinking of it, could be useful...

"What did you say was the issue again F.R.I.D.A.Y. ?", I ask while getting dressed.

"She has trouble breathing, she is currently passed out, but I can't seem to understand why, she was sleeping until then."

"WHAT THE– F.R.I.D.A.Y. call Bruce in emergency and set up everything in the lab, I will need you to wake up everyone and tell them to meet me at Inès's cell, also tell Natasha to grab a stretcher on her way down."

"Will do Mr Stark."

I run down to the basement where the cells are. Inès is lying unconscious on the floor, her breath is hitching. I unlock the door hurriedly and hear footsteps behind me. The others have arrived.

"I have the stretcher, Tony."

"Great, lay it next to her on the floor and to my count, we're lifting her and putting her on it", I direct as taking her pulse. "Good, the pulse is faint but it's there, we have no time to lose."

"Wouldn't it be safer if I lift her using my powers?"

"No reindeer games, we don't know what caused that so until then we do with as fewer magic tricks as possible." I slide my hands behind her back and look back at Nat. "Ready? 1...2...3!"

We both grunt and put her on the stretcher. Thor is already at one end of it ready to lift, I place myself at the other end.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y. are the equipment all set up?"

"Affirmative Mr. Stark, Doctor Banner says he is taking the first plane back."

"No, tell him we send him the Quinjet, it'll be faster, Romanoff, go into the lab and prepare everything, Thor you ready?"

"I am ready Stark."

We transport her cautiously to the lab and when we arrive Natasha is ready. We put her on the hospital bed and wheel her inside the X-Ray machine.

"Crap she's got broken ribs, some may have punctured her lung, we have to do a CT scan to be sure, and fast."

Turns out she really has a rib through the lung. Her lung has collapsed partially. I need to relieve some pressure from inside her chest.

"Thor, Loki can you go out please, Nat, give me a needle and come here with disinfectant, we have to relieve the pressure."

After that being done I turn to Natasha.

"She has several ribs broken from the seventh to the fifth on her right side, the seventh has broken through and her lung has partially collapsed."

"Is it life-threatening", she asks me, eyes glistening.
