The Broken Soldier

Chapter 9

You are all resting in the rec room, waiting for the pizza to arrive. "We should play something," Wanda suggests.

"Not truth or dare again, Tony's dare for me was just embarrassing," You laugh and it sets everyone else's laugh off too.

"I lost my favourite underwear set as well," you pretend to sniffle.

"I will send someone out to buy you a new one, deal," Tony holds out his hand and you shake it, "Deal."

"Mr Stark you pizza has arrived, should I let them in?" FRIDAY calls.

"Don't bother I will get it, someone get some drinks," You say as you jog down to the front door.

"That will be $40.87 ma'am," The guy in the Dominos uniform says and you hand him the money plus a little extra tip.

"Have a good evening!" You exclaim as you make your way back upstairs while holding 5 pizza boxes.

"The pizza is here!" You exclaim as you walk into the silent rec room. Everyone looks at you and then immediately looks away.

"What's wrong?" You ask as you put the pizza boxes down on the coffee table in the centre of the room.

"This," Nat places 3 full pill tubes on the table. They all knew that you haven't been taking your medication.

"Why haven't you been taking your meds, Y/N?" Bruce questions.

"I have those must be my new ones," You grab the tubes but Nat puts her hand on your arm.

"Don't lie to us Y/N," she says.

You shake your head, "I'm not. I have been taking my meds just leave it. Can you all just stop, I am not a child!" You yell slightly, "I'm sorry but can you just drop it." You ask before picking up the bottles and taking them to your room and throwing them in the trash. You bunch up some tissue and you cover the bottles with anything you have in your bathroom. You change out of your dance costume and you look in the mirror.

Blood covers your once white bandages. "Shit," You mumble as you throw on a black vest top and black leggings with Bucky's sweater over the top. You undo your hair and you take of your makeup before heading back down and taking a slice of pizza.

"Oh Bruce can you change my bandages later please?" You ask taking a bite of the cheesy goodness.

"Yeah sure, why?"

"Uh, they are just kinda red instead of white but like a red red. Bucky don't worry I am wearing something under this so I don't get any blood on your sweater," you explain and Bruce sighs.

"I told you, you shouldn't be dancing around." He looks annoyed but you shrug.

"Don't go green and finish your food," You command and Sam laughs.

Everyone finishes their food and you get all of the boxes, as you stand up Tony points something out, "Uh Y/N you have some pizza sauce on your sweater," He laughs and you look down at the small red stain on the sweater.

"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry Bucky," You apologise and you put the boxes down and you take a closer look at the stain.

"Y/N it's ok, but I don't think that was sauce," Bucky lifts the sweater up a bit more to reveal the blood soaked bandages.

"Oh god, Y/N! Why didn't you tell us that it was that bad!" Bucky shakes his head as he leads you to the lab with Bruce and Tony following after you.

"I did tell you. I said and I quote 'they are like red red'," You roll your eyes but Bucky looks unimpressed. You sit on the examination table and you take the sweater off, revealing your blood covered waist.
