Morning arose and I slowly got out of bed. I sat up on my bed and looked towards the middle of the room. My wheelchair was just sitting there. Mocking me. Reminding me that I can't do anything. Not train. Not walk. Nothing. With reluctance, I stood up and slowly walked to my wheelchair. Each step caused a horrible amount of pain. But I finally reached the wheelchair and sat down. I gave myself a minutes rest before I started to wheel myself into the bathroom. I somehow was able to have a quick shower, but while showering I noticed that my leg turned a dark purple. I quickly got out of the shower and got dressed. In a huge rush to Bruce's room. Once I got to his door, I knocked. A few moments later Bruce opened the door.

B: "Hey Ella. What's up?"

Ella: "Its probably nothing, but I'm really sore and my leg has gone a nice shade of purple." Bruce looked at my leg, but didn't seem to shocked.

B: "Let's go to my lab so I can look at it." I sat on the table and let Bruce examine my leg when Peter walked in.

P: "Hey Ella, it's good to see you—What happened to your leg!?!"

Ella: "I had a training accident"

P: "Is your leg okay? It's purple"

B: "She'll be fine as long as she doesn't cut her leg open or walk around. So wheelchair only"

Ella: "Is there a way to speed up the healing process?"

B: "Yes...but it's very experimental. And I haven't finished the testing"

Ella: "Just do what you can, please"

Bruce: "Okay. This will take a while, so Peter can keep you company." Bruce set up the machine on my leg and turned it on. He then walked away to do something else. For the next 45 minutes, Peter and I caught up and talked about school.

B: "Okay, let's take a look at your leg." Bruce examined my leg again. I don't think he meant to, but he was putting a lot of pressure on my leg, it hurt like hell. But I didn't want to say anything.

B: "So the colour has faded and the tension has significantly decreased. Which means most of the pain should be gone. I want you to carefully try and walk around." You got up from the table you were sitting on and slowly started to walk around. Peter was standing by, ready to catch you at any moment.

B: "How's it feel?"

Ella: "It doesn't hurt as bad, but there is still a fare amount of pain"

B: "Is your leg wobbly or unstable?"

Ella: "A little"

B: "Okay, I want you to go sit back down." You did as he directed and sat down. "So the machine did help. If you want, you can go back under the machine for a little longer, but after that you have wait 24 hours"

Ella: "Let's do it. Peter are you going to stay with me?." Peter looked at his watch quickly, then back at you.

P: "I would but I have patrol in ten minutes"

Ella: Okay. We'll talk more later then"

P: "I'll be back in a couple hours. Bye." Peter left and for the next hour, you've been in and out of the machine.

B: "All right, I think we should stop now. I need to monitor the healing process before we continue"

Ella: "Okay. Am I able to train again?"

B: "You can do light training. Nothing more. And you can walk but if it hurts, use the wheelchair I gave you"

Ella: "Okay I will. Thanks Bruce." I walk back to my room and change into black shorts and a white tee-shirt. For the rest of the morning I do some light exercises meant to focus my power. I was taking a break when I heard the door open.

T: "Hey kid"

Ella: "Hey dad, what's up?"

T: "Just checking up on you. How's your leg doing?"

Ella: "I'm fine. My leg doesn't hurt anymore"

T: "The fall looked pretty bad. You sure your okay?"

Ella: "Yes dad, I'm fine. Bruce helped the pain go away. So I'm doing okay"

T: "Let me see your leg." You life up your shorts to your thigh and showed Tony the Bruise. "Are you sure your okay? Your leg is purple"

Ella: "You should have seen it this morning. I looked like a grape mixed with and apple"

T: "Well, no heavy training. Got it?"

Ella: "Bruce already told me that"

T: "If I see you sparing with someone, I'm selling all you shit." I chuckle at him as he leaves my room. Once he's gone, I continue my exercises. I trained till about 2:00pm before I got bored. I decided to go do something and head downstairs to the main area. Walking into the kitchen, I see Nat sitting at the table, eating an orange.

N: "She's Alive! Good to see you today"

Ella: "I've been busy 'healing'"

N: "Speaking of healing, how's your leg?"

Ella: "It's fine. Doesn't hurt anymore thanks to-," I trail off when I see Steve walking shirtless out of the training room. Nat Noticed and Nudged my shoulder.

N: " Earth to Ella"

Ella: "Ugh-Sorry, what were you saying?," As I said that, Steve walked up to Nat and I.

S: "Hey girls." He said that with such an adorable smile. Why does he have to be so cute. "Hey Romanoff, Scott wants to train with you. Again"

N: "Hasn't that man had enough?"

S: "Clearly not"

N: "Well thanks for letting me know." The whole time Steve was talking to Nat, I couldn't take my eyes off his body. And even as he walked away, my eyes were glued to him. "You an Steve? Didn't see that one coming"

Ella: "WHAT?! NO! NO! NO! We are not a thing"

N: "But you want to be?"

Ella: " I-I don't know." Nat smirked and threw me and apple.

N: "Eat. You must be hungry." I took a bite of the apple and slowly walked away from Nat, and into the training room. Wanda was training by herself in the corner of the room and my dad and Thor were doing hand-to-hand combat. Once Tony saw me, he ran over.

T: "Hey! Hey! Hey! What did I say about training?"

Ella: "Relax dad. I'm just here to watch." Tony stared at me for a moment before going to back to Thor. Once he was out of talking range, I zoned out. Thinking of Steve. And very timely,

S: "Hey." I jump and punch Steve in the face.

Ella: "Sorry! But also, don't do that!"

S: "Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you"

Ella: "You didn't." I'm not sure why, but I stared to blush. I'm sure Steve noticed but didn't say anything.

S: "Are you watching your dad fight?"

Ella: "No, not really. I'm watching Wanda train. If I can't train might as well watch her"

S: "Whose stopping you from training?"

Ella: "Who do you think?"

S: "Oh, right." We both stopped talking. But in that moment, I got a really big craving for gummies.

Ella: "I'm craving food. I'm going to go to the store for gummies"

S: "Want me to come?"

Ella: "Free country"

S: "Sure is."
