INURE-Avengers Soulmate AU

15

Five days had passed since Aurora had woken from her surgery and she was getting restless and a few would say hostile.

...

"Pleaseeeeee I just wanna walk around, I swear I will be careful." I begged as I tried to show off my best attempt at puppy eyes to the doctor.

Bruce shook his head as if he were a frustrated parent dismissing a child.
He lightly sent a nudge to Everly's shoulder- she was re-hooking a new IV bag before walking over to a petite writing desk to update my medical chart.

"He's right, y'know, you should be on bedrest for another few days." Everly now chimes in after securing the liquid medication.

"I'll be gooooood, I just want to try standing and taking a few steps to see if my body can take it. I'm going to get up at some point so it may as well be now." I shrug as if casual about the situation, although deep down knowing I'm freaking out from the lack of movement and use of my body like a hyper active dog contained to the space of a small cage.

"I'm not sure that's such a good idea. Medically speaking your body is still not fully healed and don't even get me started on if you were to pull your stitches." The doctor sighs and takes my hand gently in her own. Over the past five days including the day I woke up, Everly and I had become friends which was a nice development and in my eyes even better because I could sway her mindset slightly easier.

Now I know what you're thinking
'But Aurora that's manipulation blah blah blah...', so...maybe it is. But it's a price I'm willing to pay to get an extra jello cup and more ice in my water.

I obviously fake a dramatic pout hoping she will cave and finally allow me to try to get up and take a step or two.

Don't get me wrong, I want to heal properly but I never could have guessed how fucking annoying sitting in a bed for a week and being looked after and watched 24/7 could really be for one person.

And yet I was there. There being my limit, on how long I could just sit on my ass without a complaint.

Seeing my annoyance and frustration Everly sighs and huffs out a knowing breath, "Fine you can try it-"

I cut her off, "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you." 

"But. I will assist you and if I see any discomfort I will personally force you back onto the bed and possibly strap you down." She emphasizes the first word knowing she has to make me listen. I nod enthusiastically and smile innocently whilst mumbling, "kinky."

I hear a small hum of amusement and turn to see Tony leaning on the door frame his shoulder placed firmly, reliant on the structural integrity of the wooden frame and let me just say I would gladly jump his bones in this very moment if I was even able to get up without guidance and reliance on others. "She managed to guilt trip you again?" He inquires referring to when I persuaded her to pull several pranks on my soulmates in honour of me a couple days ago, although I got caught alongside a very apologetic and guilt ridden Everly.

"Tony she is like a witch, I don't know how she does it." She shakes her head jokingly with a small friendly smile.

Unnoticed by anyone else--besides myself--my powers have made a surprisingly strong return in the past few days, mainly in the short moments I found myself alone in my room, which trust me was not very often at all in these passing days.

"I'll take that as a compliment." I shrug with out a care in the world, "Okay can I try it nowww because it feels like you guys are stalling."

"Fine. But I'm helping too." Tony declares walking over to me with a smug expression painting his rugged face as he sees my childlike excitement.
