    Jennifer's POV 

I didn't know what had happened, where I was, or how long I was out. I opened my eyes to see a dark room. I looked around and saw that I was in a hospital room. My eyes finally landed on someone in a chair next to my bed. "Steve?" I asked, although I figured that he didn't hear me because I barely heard me. I sat up and looked at myself, I was in the same cloths as I was before but my shoes were off. I noticed them on the floor by my bed and went to stand up. That's when I noticed the needles in my arms. I quickly tore them off and  got out of the bed, putting my shoes on. I was cold for some reason so I grabbed my jacket on the way out the door. I put on my jacket as I walked out the door and began wandering around. It was obviously nighttime because everyone was asleep. I thought about joining them but decided not to because there was no way that I would get any sleep. I felt to energized. I walked to the training room and decided that I should practice a bit to pass the time. So I set it to the settings I needed and began practicing. I fought all kinds of things in the simulation. I felt great, better than I had in my whole life. Before I knew it the sun was coming up and I decided to take a break and check the time, 5:30am. It was still early so I decided to continue training. After a little while I heard footsteps coming down the hallway so I stopped the simulation. I peeked out and saw Steve walking down the hall looking everywhere but in front of himself, almost like he lost something. I grabbed my bottle of water that I had gotten during my break and took a swig of it. I set the bottle down and stepped out of the room. "Hey Steve. What are you looking for." I asked smiling at him. He looked at me and a huge grin spread across his face. "Jennifer!" He exclaimed and ran to hug me. "Hey Steve." I said straining. "Your crushing me." I told him. "Sorry." He said and let me go. "So, where are the others?" I asked him. "Come with me." He said and I followed him down the hall. After a few minutes we stopped at a door and Steve told me to wait there until he said I could come in. I said okay and wait outside the door while he talked to whoever was inside.

                                         Third person POV   

Bella, Tony, Clint, Natasha, Bruce, Thor, and Fury all waited patiently for Steve to return with news or with Jennifer. Clint started pacing around the room and mumbling to himself while everyone else sat in chairs and talked amongst themselves when suddenly Steve walked in. "Hey guys. What's up." He asked. "Not much. Any updates?" Bella asked. "Actually... Come on in." He said smirking. Suddenly the door opened and everybody's jaw dropped to the floor. Jennifer walked in, looking better and more rejuvenated than ever. "Uh hi guys. Hi mom, dad, Avengers.. Fury."She smiled at everyone but Fury which nobody really understood why. She was only mad at him because before she went comatose she never got a clear answer from Fury about how she got the disorder. She doesn't know what everyone else in the room knew. "OH MY GOD!! Jennifer!!" Bella squealed hugging Jennifer so tight that she could barely breathe. "Okay, okay Bella. I..I can't breathe." Jennifer told her trying to get air in. "Sorry. I just really missed you that's all." Bella said. "Wait what?" Jennifer asked but never got an answer because Bruce suddenly spoke up. "Alright so while everyone is in the room, I have an announcement to make." He said. "What did you find now." Bella asked. "Well me and Tony have figured out that whoever put the Belladonna and Hemlock in the serum that was put in Jennifer....wanted her dead." He said looking down at his feet. 

_______________Jennifer's POV_______________________

 I couldn't believe what I was hearing. 'Why would someone want to kill me?' I asked myself. Tears started to form in my eyes as I thought more about it. I started to get off balance and started to fall over. Steve caught me and helped me stand up straight again. "You okay?" Steve asked me. "Yeah, yeah. Fine." I lied trying not to draw attention to myself. As everyone talked they started to sound farther and farther away. Finally it got the best of me and I ran out of the room. I could barely see because of the tears so as I ran I stumbled and tripped over everything even though nothing was there. I heard Steve shouting my name but I kept running. Finally I reached my room and I collapsed into the darkness of the room. I began bawling my eyes out not caring who passed by or who heard me.
