You slowly wake up, the world coming into focus as your eyelids flutter open. You attempt to sit up, wincing as a wave of dizziness washes over you. As your vision clears, you see a man sitting cross-legged not far from the bed writing on a computer: Dr. Banner, also known as Bruce. "Ah, you're awake," he says when he looks at you, offering you a reassuring smile.

Y/n, still a bit dazed, looks around the room. Dr. Banner is the only one here, and you start to wonder how much time has passed since you passed out. "Hey, Bruce......How long have I been out and where's Tony?" you ask with your voice hoarse. Dr. Banner says. "You've been unconscious for about three days, and have been overheating every now and then, with that your marks have sometimes shown up as well mostly at night thought, and Tony is just outside the door with Pepper"

"Ah, thanks," Y/n replies, nodding. You take a deep breath and try to sit up again, wincing slightly at the renewed dizziness.

Just then, the door opens and Tony walks in. He looks relieved to see you awake and rushes over to the bedside. "Hey, kiddo," he says, his voice thick with emotion. "I'm so glad you're awake."

Tony crouches down next to you, taking your hand in his. He studies your face for a moment, brushing a stray strand of hair out of your eyes. "You've been through quite a lot," he gently says, "But you're a tough cookie" Y/n smiles weakly.

"How's the team holding up?" you ask, with your voice still hoarse. Tony nods. "They're doing alright, considering they're all worried about you. "As for Peter..." He trails off, his expression turning dark. "I'm not sure what to say. I've been wondering why he has not come here more than he is, and he's been trying to apologize in his own way. But I'm not sure if that's enough."

Y/n sighs softly, feeling a pang of guilt, and you weren't sure if you were ready to face him yet. "I'm sorry, Tony," you whisper. "I should've been more careful."

Dr. Banner, who had been silently observing the exchange, clears his throat. "Perhaps it's time for you to rest, Y/n. You've been through a lot, and uh well" his head tills forward to your arm, you look at your arm and it begins to light up your marks on your skin begin to glow, "I'm here if you need anything, okay" he says with a small smile, trying to lighten the mood and walks back to his desk.

With help from Dr. Banner and Tony, you manage to get out of the bed and make your way into the living room. As you enter, you see Natasha talking to Peter, their voices low and intense. You immediately feel a mix of emotions: anger and hurt, but you also can't help but notice the way they're looking at each other, the unspoken understanding anger between them.
