-40

the quinjet finally arrived at the compound. steve offered you his help to get down from the jet but you refused. your hip hurt like hell while you were walking down the stairs but you shook it off. you were limping into the tower as harley and peter came up to y'all.

"she's limping and nobody is helping her?! what's wrong with y'all?!"
harley said as he tried to help you. you moved away quickly.

"goddamn why are y'all pissing me off so much?! if i say i don't need help then i don't need help. leave me the fuck alone."
you were raising your voice more and more. everyone stayed silent.

"are you still questioning why we weren't helping her?"
tony said sarcastically. everything went silent again.

"sorry. i didn't mean to shout at y'all. thank you for wanting to help me but i just need to be left alone, ok? thank you."
you quickly walked into the compound, embarrassed. nat was sitting on the couch as you walked in. you sat down on the couch and groaned because sitting was hurting your hip, so you laid down.

"y/n?! did you get shot?!"
she sat her back up.

"twice"
you chuckled.

"not funny y/n. what happened? is everything ok?"
she sounded worried. you told her everything about what happened.

"you said yes to an operation without a narcosis?!?! are you crazy?!"
her eyes widened and switched to a narrowing as she raised her voice.

"calm down. everything's fine now, right?"
you said tiredly as you closed your eyes. you just needed some rest at the moment. nat was saying something but you couldn't comprehend her words, you were already half asleep.

soon enough you fell asleep. meanwhile you were sleeping you could feel someone moving your head but, again, you couldn't really comprehend that. you just continued sleeping.

after like 40minutes, you woke up. you could feel something under your head. you looked up and saw harley. he placed your head on his thighs and sat down while you were sleeping. you were looking around a bit and saw that some of the others were there too. even bucky, that's what made you worrying.

you sat up quickly, but then quickly laid down again after the pain in your hip shot right through. "fuck" you groaned and put your hand over the wound on your hip.

"y/n? is everything ok? what was that?"
harley said over you and laid his hand on your shoulder, he sounded worried.

"everything's fine. sitting up just hurts a bit, wait why the fuck am i on your lap. i don't remember falling asleep like that."
you had a little annoyance in your voice. after what nearly happened between the both of you, you actually tried to avoid him, so it couldn't happen again.

"you were laying down here, alone. your head wasn't rested on a pillow and it looked quite uncomfortable. since there weren't any pillows here, i decided to let you rest on my lap, if that's ok.."

"no, actually not"
you didn't hesitate.

"oh, uh"
he didn't know what to say. he looked embarrassed and uncomfortable.

"so, no pillows?"
you heard someone saying from another couch. you looked over and saw bucky pulling out a pillow from behind him. you started smirking at him but tried to hide it, he did the same as he saw you. he threw the pillow over gently, you put it on the other side of the couch and laid down.

"thank you"
you said bluntly. bucky just nodded.

"i didn't see-"
harley began saying but you interrupted him.

"it's ok harley. thank you."
he just nodded and everyone continued to chat.

a few hours passed, you were sitting in your bed, alone, reading the hobbit. your reading got interrupted by a knock on your door.
"come in."
it was pietro.
