Welcome To Marvel/ It's A War

Chapter 9: Your Side

Steve's POV

I looked up, hearing a small shift and a cough.

Courtney opened her eyes and looked around, spotting me.

"Huh?"

I smiled, slightly amused at her expression of confusion.

"What was the last thing you remember?" I asked.

"I got shot. In the head." She stated bluntly.

"Well, you didn't miss much. My friend Sam and I came and got you out. We're back at the tower now, this is the med bay. I pulled most of the glass out on our way here, but Banner did the rest." I explained.

"Oh."

"He was really worried, you know. I understand why you are afraid of him, but he isn't bad." I told her.

She nodded, "I know."

We stayed silent for a moment.

"What about the boys?" She asked.

"They don't know you're here yet, Clint, Vision, and Wanda are playing with them right now. We didn't think you would them to see you until you were... alive." I said

"Yeah." She nodded.

We stayed silent again before Courtney pulled off the thin blanket and stood up.

I stood up too and she walked over.

"I'm sorry. I didn't... realize. Thank you for coming after me." She said.

I smiled and put a hand on her shoulder, "Anytime."

She continued walked and we reached the kitchen, where Natasha and Sam were talking.

"Look who came back from the dead." Sam joked.

Natasha smacked his shoulder and rolled her eyes.

Courtney walked over and smiled, holding out her hand.

"Nice to meet you Sam." She said as they shook.

"This is very diplomatic." Tony said as he walked in.

"I'm slightly jealous. Didn't she throw a knife at Clint when she first saw him?" Natasha asked.

"Maybe." Courtney said.

Sam laughed, "Everyone just loves me."

"Oh, and hey, the kids are with Clint, Wanda, and Vision in the training room." Tony informed us.

"Thanks." Courtney said before walking away.

I followed her and we stopped in the doorway, both because we wanted to watch and because we didn't want to ruin the fun.

Damian and Jake were flying, surrounded my red energy from Wanda, who was moving them around and laughing.

Vision was holding Clint's forearm and following them slowly. The boys laughed and giggled, pretending as if they were Supermen and cleverly evading them.

"This isn't fair! I can't fly and I'm slowing down Vision!" Clint complained to Wanda.

"Here." She said.

Red energy grabbed his leg and pushed him off of vision. He fell to the ground with a thump and stayed there, cursing.

"Language!" I called out, bringing up an old joke.

Everyone looked over and saw Courtney, who smiled. Jake and Damian flew over before landing and giving her a hug.

"I told them you were just going out to get something!" Damian said, smirking.
