The Mercenary 2

Part 49

Peter was the first one to see you, he'd sit on the chair next to you as he fiddled away with his web shooters always asking questions awaiting a reply hoping that you'd wake up and help him.

Natasha came a couple times a day but never spent long there, she couldn't see you like this and it hurt her too much. She needed to stay strong for Wanda who was an emotional wreck.

Wanda had tried to see you but failed. Panic setting in as she had to be carried back to her room by Steve. From that day onwards, she didn't spend much time with anyone, she liked the quiet and peacefulness of her room.
Vision tried to comfort her but she kicked him out quickly before he was sent on a long term mission.

Bucky accompanied Noah and Elijah, they liked to talk to you about the football scores. Your team had been losing a lot before but started to pick up results after the new striker came in.
Bucky read books to you, his favourite was the hobbit. Something he read before he was the winter soldier.

Steve didn't know what to do but sat with you when no one else was there. He normally completed mission reports and kept watch in case you woke up or needed help from the Doctors.

Bruce and Dr Cho were taking good care of you, regular check ups and scans when they were needed.
Bruce said the chances of survival were increasing everyday as you continued to fight the impact the bullets had on your body.

The induced coma lasted 14 days and then the sedation was reduced.
Bruce was hopeful you'd wake up soon but it was all down to you. You had to win this fight and there was nothing anyone else could do.

The days passed. You had shown signs of improvement as your heart rate and blood pressure started to return to normal levels whilst your jaw had fully healed and your stitches were looking good with no sign of an infection.
Your body was tired but you could feel and hear everything. A hand gripped yours as a gentle voice could be heard in the background.

Nat- Hey Sonny, I'm not sure if you can hear me but Bruce said it would be good to talk to you. I'll be here whenever you're ready to wake up, you'll never be alone and that's a promise.
You can never leave me and I'll never leave you.
Wanda is struggling, she needs to hear your voice again. She needs to feel you, she says she can't feel you.

Your grip tightened around her hand and you felt her squeeze back
Nat- I knew you weren't giving up. I love you.
Her hand left yours as another took hold, a different hand this time. It was a lot bigger but smooth so that ruled out Tony or Bruce.

The hand held yours for who knows how long but they didn't speak much, the odd noise and grunt could be heard.
Peter- To the important thing, I need your help. You see there's this girl I really like and I don't know how to talk to her but I want to ask her out.
He kept explaining his situation, he didn't feel like he could talk about this with anyone else but you.

Peter- so what do I do?
Y/N- ask her out you idiot
Peter- OH MY GOD, you aren't dead!
Y/N- you are here so I must be alive
Peter- I'll get everyone
Y/N- kid stop
Your voice was croaky and throat dry. The past few weeks had taken everything out of you as you struggled to talk.
Peter- what do you need?
Y/N- water

He ran over to the side of the room, grabbing some water and a straw for you.
The cool liquid soothed your throat as you took small sips.
Peter- better?
Y/N- yes thanks
Peter- what now?
Y/N- Wanda
Peter- I'll go get her
Y/N- don't tell her I'm awake yet, just get her in here

From the sounds coming out of the corridor, he was dragging her here. She didn't want to but he was doing everything to make sure she walked through those doors
Wanda- I can't
Peter- please trust me, you need to see her before anything else happens
Wanda- what if she doesn't wake up?
Peter- she will.

You could see her out the corner of your eye, fiddling with her rings as she froze to the ground. Peter closed the door behind her as she turned round to see it close.
Y/N- are you going to give your favourite person a hug or what?
Wanda- you're awake
She ran over, her lips pressing against your forehead.
Wanda- are you okay? Does anything hurt? Do you need anything?
Y/N- calm down, I'll be fine

Your eyes met with hers, the glistening from the tears that filled her eyes.
Wanda- don't you dare do that to me again.
Her accent was strong as she choked back the tears
You raise your hand, pinky in the air
Y/N- I promise
She couldn't help but laugh as the door opened and Nat ran in.

Nat- you didn't leave me
Y/N- I'll always be here, as long as you're here then I'm not going anywhere
Nat- thank you for not dying
Y/N- it's fine but I need to get out of this bed
You tried to sit up but the pain was excruciating, the skin on your stomach tight as the stitches were still healing
Wanda- hey no, you can't move
Y/N- I have to
Wanda- why?
Y/N- I can't do what I want without something
Wanda- what's that?
Y/N- Natasha Romanoff and Wanda Maximoff, will you both do me the honour of marrying me?
