The Demigod From Asgard - A Steve Rogers x Reader Story

Chapter 43: You need to rest

Warnings: Angst! Little bit of Fluff! Language! PTSD!

When you woke the pain in your side was now a dull ache but your head still felt heavy. You slowly opened your eyes to see you were in the med bay of the helicarrier. The next thing you noticed was the sensation of someone fiddling with your fingers. Looking over you could see Steve still in his suit sat beside your bed holding your hand, not noticing you were awake.

"Hey, how's your hand" you ask getting his attention.

He instantly looks up, smiling and shaking his head at you with a small chuckle "you're currently in a hospital bed, with a gunshot wound and you're asking me how I am?" He chuckles.

"Of course" you smirk making him laugh.

"I'm fine, now how are you?" He asks reaching up to brush some hair out of your face.

"Sore, but good, what about Thor is he?" You ask him unable to finish your sentence.

"He's fine, him, Tony, Vision and Wanda all got clear, he's resting up at the moment but I'm sure he'll be through soon" Steve tells you allowing you to breath in a deep sigh of relief.

"We did it, I honestly thought we were gonna die down there" you sigh shaking your head.

"I know me too" Steve sighs.

"What happens now?" You ask him.

"We're gonna take the people back down to surface, stick around a bit help set up camps and help clear up. There's a lot of damage down below too, Tony already has the Stark relief fund working on the ground and the UN are sending people too" Steve tells you.

"It's going to be a big operation" you sigh.

"Yeah, but you rest up okay" Steve tells you squeezing your hand.

"Can I have something to eat first? I don't think I've eaten since Clint's and I'm starving" you ask hopefully making Steve chuckle.

"I'm sure I can find something" he smiles standing up "I'll be right back"

He kisses the top of your head before heading out of the room. You sigh to your pushing yourself up to sit slightly groaning at the aches in your muscles.

"You better not be sneaking out" you hear someone say.

Looking up you see Thor stood in the doorway smirking over at you, out of his Asgardian armour, now dressed in old SHIELD fatigues.

"What like you have?" You say knowingly making him laugh.

"With good reason, how are you?" He smiles walking in and sitting down beside you.

"Good, you look good for someone who was just on a city that exploded" you chuckle when he shrugs his shoulders.

"I am mighty" he says simply.

You shake your head at him rolling your eyes before taking a deep breath.

"I'm sorry for what happened on the jet after South Africa" you apologise shaking your head.

"Don't apologise, it's okay I understood I just want you to feel safe and Steve makes you feel that" Thor tells you putting a reassuring hand on your shoulder.

"I didn't even think to check on you though" you argue.

"Stop that, it's fine it's over now, what I saw wasn't pleasant... but it wasn't real just a Vision" Thor says shaking his head.

You sigh nodding your head slightly "mine was real, it was memories" you say quietly unable to look over at him.

"I'm sorry sister" he sighs looking over at you sadly.
