Stephen

I walk into school and see Tony and Bruce in the hallway. I wave at them and they wave back. I go to my locker and put away what I have to before walking to class. When I get there I sit at the table and pull out one of the books I brought with me.

Later when I see Bruce and Tony walk in I see that Tony is limping and is holding his wrist like it hurts. He also has a dark bruise forming on his right cheekbone. He sits down like nothing is wrong with him but I can tell that he's in pain.

Bruce sits down next to me and I pass him a notecard. 'Is Tony okay? He looks to be in pain.' Bruce nods and class starts. I get my notes out and finish the homework assigned an hand it in. I pull my book out again and feel my phone vibrate in my pocket.

I check it and see that it came from an unknown number who happens to be Tony. I save him in my contacts before reading the text.

Tony

No problem

I put my phone away and look at him. I go back to my book and see Bruce looking at it. "Is this in Latin?" He asks and I nod. "It looks interesting." He says and I shrug. I mean I've already read it but you could say it's interesting.

After the bell rings I go to my next class and sit next to Loki. The class goes by quickly and when it ends I grab my bag and wait on Tony. "Where to Stephen?" I look around and walk to the to band room.

"Why are we going here in the band room?" He asks and I open the doors to show it empty. We walk in and set down in the back of the room. "My wrist and ankle." Tony says and I nod and grab the first aid kit out of my backpack.

I take his shoe and sock off before spraying the area and wrapping it. I then tape it and put his sock and shoe back on him before going to his wrist. I wrap his wrist and tape it before looking in my first aid kit and pulling out a numbing cream to put over his bruise.

"What are you doing?" Tony asks and I hold up my phone and switch to the camera to let him see his cheek. "Oh." I apply the cream to the bruise and put everything away. "Thank you Stephen."

I nod and put everything away and hit my hand on my book and hiss in pain a bit.

"Stephen?....." Tony starts but I hurry up what I was doing and get up. He grabs my wrist and I look at him. "What happened?" He asks and I stop.

I sit back down and look at the floor. "Stephen?" He says and I look at him and decide to sidestep the question.

I hand him a notecard to try and find out what happened to him. 'Who hurt you?'
