**28 days since the mission**

"Why isn't she awake Bruce? You said she'd be awake weeks ago??" Tony comes walking out from the medical bay over to Bruce who's positioned by the computer. "Tony, y/n experienced significant trauma and since she flatlined three weeks ago she's had to be put into a medical induced coma. Her injuries were more than we'd first anticipated."

It's true. Since the mission four weeks ago I'd gone downhill as the extend of my injuries worsened. During the middle of the night a week after the mission my body gave up on itself and I flatlined. If it wasn't for Bruce staying in the medical bay with me to do his routine checks I'd have been a goner. Since then I was popped on a ventilator as I couldn't breathe sufficiently on my own. I was taken off the ventilator about a week ago and was able to breathe sufficiently on my own once more. They'd attempted to bring me out of my coma with no success.

"When will she wake up Bruce!?" Tony demands again moving over to me and squeezing my hand. "Come on y/n just wake up. We need you. Your sister needs you." But nothing. No response. At least not in their eyes, in reality I could hear everything that went on around me. Ever small conversation, every pep talk into my ear, every cry, every laugh, every story. But doesn't mean I'll remember any of it.

"Tony we will try and bring her out the coma once more in a couple days-"

"A couple days!? No bring her out of this goddamn coma NOW!"

"Tony it's not that simple-"

"Bruce if you don't do it then I will!" Tony warns whilst bringing his hand to his forehead rubbing the worry away. "Fine. This afternoon. We can try again." Bruce admits defeat in this argument, personally he didn't think I was quite ready but he had to try.

"I'll go tell the others." Tony states before leaving the medical bay once more.

**10 days earlier**

"Ivy how was school today?" Tony greets her with a warm smile and hug and she walks back into the compound with Peter. Since the rescue Ivy had recovered pretty well and soon formed a close friendship with Peter. They were of similar age technically so they thought it best to put her into education and try give her a somewhat normal life. The only main concern was her nightmares and the stress she had over me and my recovery. She wasn't angry she was just scared, I'd just come back into her life and it appeared I was about to be taken away.

"Yeah it was okay. Is y/n awake yet?" Tony can see the desperation in her eyes, she's desperate for me to be awake. "Sorry kid no change since this morning. Bruce has been running some more tests today."

"Oh okay, Peter can we go to the mall?"

"S-sure thing, is that okay Mr Stark?" Tony goes into his blazer pocket pulling out his wallet. "Here take this?" He hands them each $50 and sends them in their way being escorted by Happy.

**An hour later**

"Any news?" Bucky and Steve enter the medical bay searching for Tony and Bruce, walking closer to the bed they all see me hooked up to all different kinds of wires and tubes sticking out of me. It was safe to say I looked a mess, even now despite all the swelling and bruising going down and disappearing I looked awful.

"Nothing. Her pupils react to the light but still no sign of her waking up anytime soon, we can maybe try again in a couple of weeks."

"A couple of weeks?? She was supposed to be awake ages ago." Bucky states before moving closer to my bedside gently stroking my head planting a gentle kiss. "She has done nothing but protect and fight for what's right and she ends up like this? How is that fair?" Bucky continues as Steve turns away from the group guilt rushing over him, he still blamed himself for what happened to me. He'd taken it among himself to ensure Ivy got the best support whilst I was still under. He was the one to arrange her and Peter meeting, he was the one who encouraged Tony to enrol her into the education system. Heck he was the one trying to help bring the real Dan back.
