Your eyes felt heavy and the smell of bleach filled your nose. You slowly let your eyelids flutter open gently. You were in the medical wing again. God you really hated it here.
There were muffled voices just outside your room, you could just about make out what they were saying.

"Bruce, you have to let me help her, I did it before. I don't see why I cant do it again."
"Loki, last time you did it, the wound wasn't half as bad as it is now and you were out for almost 12 hours. She'll be fine."
"No. You have to let me help."
"Loki, stop. The bullet only caused little damage compared to what it could've done."
"You said it yourself, she's lost a lot of blood. Letting her heal normally, would only make her lose more blood and it will take a lot longer."
"You have to understand that this is just the process. She'll be fine."

Were they really arguing over how you get better? You know you didn't want Loki wasting any more magic on you, plus it didn't really hurt.

"It's because Bruce gave you so many pain killers y/n." Loki stood in front of you now.
"First of all, stop reading my mind, it's annoying. Secondly, I don't want you to heal me because like it or not, I'm mortal and this is just how it goes."

He looked confused, then angry.
"I-I don't understand why you would let yourself stay like this."
"Because, I care about you and I don't want you going unconscious. Also, Bruce said I would heal just fine. Stop worrying about me."

He looked deep in thought,
"Alright" he said coldly and walked out. Why was he angry, you're the one who got shot.
Seconds later Wanda and Sam came in.
"Hey, Bruce told us you were awake. Bucky is coming down later." Wanda sympathised.

"Loki looked pissed, what did you say to him? Also what were you doing before the mission? Cause it didn't just look like a hug." Sam asked.
"Wait, what were they doing before the mission?"
"Nothing Wanda. He was upset, it was just a hug. And I told him that I didn't want him to heal me because last time he did, he was unconscious for ages. So does that answer your question, Sam?" You fumed.
"Oh yeah totally." Sam stuttered with a strange look on his face.

Sam left and Wanda came to stand closer to your head.
"Thank you, for helping me with the crates. You were on the verge of passing out and you did more work than I did." She whispered softly, before placing a kiss on your forehead and leaving.

Bucky came to visit you. You told him all about the mission.
When Bruce came in and said you could go back to your room, Bucky led you there silently.

"Thanks Buck , who knew getting shot in the stomach, would affect your legs." You laughed humourlessly.
"No problem doll" Bucky said just as Loki came out of his room. It was literally opposite yours.

"Don't let me interrupt" Loki said coldly before making his way to the common room.
"What's his deal?" Bucky asked looking genuinely concerned.
"I'm not exactly sure. I'm gonna take a shower and a nap. I'll see you at dinner." You winked and closed your door in between him and you.

Now, how exactly were you gonna shower with a gaping hole in your stomach? Luckily Bruce gave you stitches and extra dressings. You got out of your clothes and unwrapped your torso to find neatly placed stitches about an inch long next to your belly button. It was red and extremely swollen, but there was no blood and it didn't even hurt. This was going to be easier than you thought. You let the water in the shower rinse you down as you carefully traced the stitches with your finger.

After the shower, you dried yourself off and neatly rewrapped your wound, before you got changed into a grey hoodie and black shorts. You laid down cautiously on your bed, trying not to tear Bruce's good work open. You fell asleep as soon as your head hit the pillow.
