As the sun rose, Nat woke up from an aching back. She had squeezed herself on the small couch, which wasn't exactly comfortable. But it didn't matter, this girl, Morgan needed her apparently. Nobody needed her before, so it was pretty new and scary for her. Most people she worked with or had worked with could all take care of themselves pretty good.

Sun light entered the room through the large window, and a sunbeam lit up Morgans face. It was truly mesmerizing. She could see her short, blonde hair almost glowing from the lighting. She walked over to Morgans bed and noticed a big scar on her face under her eye, it ran from her nose over to her left cheekbone. She hadn't noticed it yesterday because it was dark. 'Whoever did that used a sharp knife and a steady hand. It was almost a perfect straight line'.

There was a knock on the door. Slowly the door opened. A nurse walked in. "Good morning Natasha, the others have gathered in the kitchen, they are waiting for you". She said with a brief smile. "Someone needs to be here when she wakes up" Nat stated keeping her eyes on the beautiful girl. "You're right, I'll be here. It's okay you can go" the nurse walked over to a cabinet and picked up some bandages and alcohol in case Morgan woke up, so she could clean the wounds. Nat walked over to the door, turned around her eyes focused on Morgan, sighed and walked out the room.

The others were talking with Clint about what had happened.

"I was on my way to that place where they make those delicious burgers, wanted to surprise you guys, you know" Clint sighed and looked at the ground.

"Damn i would have loved a nice burger" Tony imagined himself biting in the crispy bun and the juicy meat.

"What happened next?" Steve asked while giving Tony an annoyed look.

"She came out of a dark alley, i honked but she kept looking backwards. I hit my brakes but it was too late.. she hit her head on the windshield" he kept looking at the ground.

"She was running from a man" Nat stated.

The men turned around and looked at the door where she was standing with her hands in her pockets looking at the ground.

"She was attacked by a man and was running away" she looked up and walked over to the men who where standing around the kitchen island.

"She explained it to me yesterday and asked if i could stay with her"

Tony looked at Steve, "Steve and i finished a room for her, it's next to yours. She can stay as long as she needs".

Natasha nodded and walked over to the coffeemaker.

"Guys, I'm hungry, does someone else want pancakes?" Bruce said looking hopeful at the others.

They all ate some pancakes and decided it was time to go the gym, and train.

Morgan's POV;
I woke up after a good night rest. It surprised me that i had slept through the night without waking up once. Normally i would wake up early from the nightmares i had from the prison and the car-accident. I sat up and looked at the couch, no redhead. I sighed and laid back down. I wish she was here, I didn't get a good look on her the night before, but i sure liked what i could see then. My thoughts kept drifting back to the redheaded woman called Natasha. She was beautiful.

I noticed that my hands were shaking softly. After a few minutes a nurse walked in. "Good morning Morgan, I'm Holly, how are you feeling?" She asked with a friendly smile. "I'm fine" i stated while holding my hands. I hoped the nurse wouldn't see it. "That's good, i need to clean your wound, can you lift your shirt up for me please?" Holly asked while she walked over to the cabinet to pick up the bandages and alcohol she had prepared. I lifted my shirt and noticed that the bandages had blood stains on it. "How bad is it?" I asked concerned. "You had an internal bleeding surrounding your spleen. We managed to stop it, but you have lost a lot of blood. You're weak and need to rest. If you need anything, press this blue button. If it's urgent press the red one." Holly cleaned the wound and walked to the door. "Holly, where are my belongings?" I asked while looking around the room. "Your clothes are damaged, we needed to cut your shirt and pants. I will bring you some new clothes. Your purse is in the top cabinet. Should i grab it for you?" "Oh no it's okay, i just wanted to know" I gave her a quick smile. Holly nodded and walked out the room.

I looked at my hands, the shaking became worse and i started to sweat. 'I really need to get my bag.' I looked at all the tubes in my arm. If i pulled them out, the nurse would know it and storm in, so i need to keep them in. I lifted my legs from the bed one by one and placed them gently on the ground. I grunted as i raised myself from the bed, a sharp pain went through my stomach wound. I ignored the pain and stumbled over to the cabinet. Quickly grabbed my purse and took a joint and a bit cocaine out of it. I slowly walked over to the window, opened it and lit up the joint. Immediately i felt better, my hands stopped shaking, and i felt a wave of calmness settling down in my body. When i finished the joint i closed the window, sighed of relief, and threw away the remaining of the joint in the trashcan while stumbling back to my bed and laid back down. I placed the cocaine on the bedside table, and snorted it up. With a feeling of relief and calmness i closed my eyes again and drifted off asleep.

After two hours of intense training Clint, Steve and Natasha finally finished. Tony was with Bruce in the lab working on some new projects. After they showered and changed Clint, Steve and Nat decided to check up on Morgan. Clint knocked on the door. "Yes, come in" They heard coming from the other side of the door. Clint opened the door and walked in, Steve and Nat following right behind him. When she laid her eyes on Morgan she noticed she had red eyes, and her face looked a bit grayish. It was a little bit weird considering the situation she was in but she decided to keep it to herself, she would talk to her when the boys left. They sat down on the couch, introduced themselves again and started talking. After an hour of talking and apologizing Clint and Steve left the room. Nat stayed behind readying herself for the talk.

'What do i say?'
