HeartBeat ✔(Steve Rogers X OC X Bucky Barnes)

Chapter 20

I didn't have to open my eyes to know someone was staring at me. Not just one person. No, multiple.

"Think she's going to wake up soon?"

"Shh! She will if you don't shut up, Stark."

"Well I have stuff to do." Someone was smacked at that point. "Uh Ow?!"

I opened my eyes slowly and looked around. The whole team was there except for Loki and Thor. "Wh-what's going o-on?" I rasped out. Everyone grew a smile or grin or even a smirk across their face. Steve sat down next to me.

"You can talk!" He sounded so excited. I sat up a little, trying to get comfortable. Steve quickly helped prop a pillow up for me.

"Take it easy, Queenie." Tony remarked with a smirk, crossing his arms. I looked at him before moving my eyes to Steve and to Bucky.

"What happened?" I asked as Peter came in with a bottle of water, a curly straw you give to kids in it. I smiled at him which made him blush and scratch his neck from nerves. He was a anxious kid.

"You don't remember?" Bucky asked as I took a long sip of the water. The cold of it was soothing my dry scratchy throat.

"It's a bit foggy. That nurse.." I trailed off.

"The one who was injecting some drug in you to not only shut off your powers, but also kill you?" Tony finished. I nodded as he clicked his tongue. "She is apparently Eileen's sister. Seeking revenge for her sisters untimely death, blah blah. She's locked up now." He finished, rolling his eyes half way through his speech.

"Did you know Eileen had a sister?" Natasha asked from next to Clint, she pushed her way into the room and sat down on an armchair in the corner of the room. I shook my head.

"No, I never knew. She barely spoke of family. I actually never realized how closed off she was. I had my own troubles that I didn't worry myself with other people." I said with a hint of guilt seeping from my voice.

"It doesn't matter how you treated her. Scrye was her soulmate, there was no stopping her turning dark." Bucky told me, he must have seen the look I had for a spilt second. The look that if I had done things differently, or acted differently then maybe things would be different.

"What is happening with the palace?" I looked to Bucky and then Steve.

"Thor and Loki are there now, Loki had volunteered to supervise the rebuild of the palace and coordinate everything for you. But we sent Thor with him to make sure there was no hidden motives to take over. Never know." Clint explained. I nodded. I trusted the two Gods to make sure everything was taken care of. Thor was a soon to be King and Loki was a King of his kind. Loki helped so much, if it wasn't for him and his quick thinking, I could be dead right now or worse.... a vegetable.

"Falan.. the arrangements for his funeral?" I asked, hoping it had been taken care of, but at the same time feeling guilt for not being apart of it. Steve laid a hand on my own hand making me look at him. He offered a small smile, trying to cheer me up.

"It was taken care of a few weeks ago." I nodded at his words. Someone moved towards me making me look up. Bruce walked up to me offering me a smile.

"How are you feeling, Danny?" He asked, holding his hand out for my wrist. He checked my pulse and checked my eyes.

"I feel a bit weird, but much better." Bruce nodded. "Did we find out what Eileen's sister was using on me? It was a bit extreme to be just medicine right?" Bruce looked over to the others, before looking at Bucky and Steve who now was standing next to the bed. Steve sighed, something that showed how reluctant he was to talk about this.
