She's breathing in a rhythm that slowly puts me to sleep again even though i don't want that. And even though it's not a heartbeat, she's breathing. I know she doesn't have to breathe but she is so that i would know she's here. I know Y/n lied about where she was but also know that she's not human anymore. I was just hoping for more time before she turned back. I just wished that she never remembers more, that we can start over, with me, with the team. We'll tell them about that when she's ready.

I jerk up, must have been a nightmare though i can't remember what it was about. The first thing i notice is that i'm alone in bed, again. I look at the clock, it's almost nine am. The sun is still on the way up the horisont. That's when the door opens and Y/n enters.

"Where were you this time?" i ask and she signs as she puts a tray of breakfast on the nightstand. "I'm sorry, it's just that the last time i let you out of my sign, you got kidnapped. And the last time i was bed bound, you left"

"Yeah, i remember that. Which is why i'm not leaving your side for a while, as i promised. I just got us some food in case you wanted to spend another day in bed" she says, and yet again hands me a glass of water. But before i have time to drink it, i jump out of bed and into the bathroom. Before i even get my head in the ring to throw up, Y/n is behind me and holding my hair. her hand rubbing my back as i continue throwing up yesterday's diner.

"Here, drink this" she says, giving me a glass of red liquid as i lean back onto the cold wall.

"What is it?"

"Just drink it, you'll feel better" she says, but i still hesitate before pouring it into my mouth. The taste is repulsing, but she makes me drink every last bit of it. And at least i don't throw it up. "Now, let's get you back to bed"

We spent the next hour watching my favourite series, Once Upon A Time. You haven't seen it yet so we start from the beginning. I like it so much because it's always a happy ending, even for the villains in the end. I have my head under Y/n's chin and her hands around me, pulling me closer for every minute. I have my own hands wrapped around your waist. I can tell you want to ask me something, but you don't. After five hours of watching you go out and get some more food, and when you come back i bring it up.

"I can tell you want to ask me something, just do it"

"It'll only start a fight, so i don't mind" she answers camly but i know her, i know she wants to know. Know that she's burning inside for the answer.

"You're wondering why i think i am sick, we both know it's not a cold, i get don't get colds"

"Stop reading me, it's creepy and kind of annoying" she says, laying down in the bed again. "But yeah, i do"

"You don't need to worry about that, because i was wrong" i say as i sit in her lap. She hum an answer and start the show again while also starting to braid my hair.

"What's this on your neck?" she asks, making my hand fly up to my neck.

"I don't know, i think i've had it for a while"

"How long? Since Iceland?" i nod. "Shit Nat, if Christopher did that... we need to get you to Helen now" she says before dragging me out of bed, not caring to put on real clothes since we're wearing pj's. We find Helen with Tony in his lab, looking over some new tech.

"Helen, we need your help, now" y/n says as she makes me dit down on a chair.

"What's wrong?" Tony asks, also coming up to us.

"It's nothing, she's overreacting" i answer but the three ignore me.

"Tony, how long was she alone after you took me away in Iceland" y7n asks but i don't see the relevance in these questions.

"Just a few minutes i think" he answer and she lift up my hair, showing them whatever you found. The little lump in my neck.

"She's had this since then, if she was alone with Christopher, he might have done something without her noticing" Y/n says and Helen starts to examine my neck.

"Take her up to the Medbay, there's better light and the right equipment there" Helen says and i meet Y/n's worried gaze. I sigh and teleport us to the medbay, but as soon as we get there i feel this surge go through my body as everything goes black. But i can still feel someone's hands around me, carrying me before i fully lose consciousness.
