Chapter 29
Claires POV

The next morning I woke up alone. I had no idea where Nat was and when she had left.
Bruce walked in minutes later saying I could go as long as I get some rest and look after myself. I was going to message Bat but I had no clue where my phone was. I left the med wing and slowly walked to my room. On the way I ran into Wanda.

"Claire! How are you?" She asked.
"A little sore but otherwise fine thanks Wanda. Did you get hurt at all?.
"No I'm fine. Glad you're ok, we were very worried about you" she said.
"Well you tell everyone I'm fine I'm just going to be in my room resting" you explained.
"Ok Claire. Please message me if you need anything". Said Wanda.
"I will, thank you" I said. "Oh and Wanda, I just wanted to say thank you for how kind you have been to me since I got here".
She smiled back at me. "You're more than welcome Claire".

We parted ways and I contained making my way to my room. My ribs were killing me and my body was screaming for me to sit down.

I heard yelena and Kate before I saw them. Kate came up to me and gave me a big hug. I tried not to cried out in pain but I couldn't help it.

"Shit sorry Claire I didn't meant to hurt you" she apologised.

"No it's all good. Good to see you guys. Sorry to cut this short but I really need to go lay down. I said.

"Of course Claire" Kate smiled. "We will have to have a girls night when you're feeling up to it".

"Get some rest Rosewood you look like shit" Yelena added.

"I would love that" I smiled back at Kate. I sent a small grin towards Yelena and headed for my room again hoping for no more interruptions.

As I walked in I saw my sheets folded back from the usual way I neatly made the bed. There was a glass of water and pain killers on the bedside table and next to that was my phone on charge. I sat down and picked up my phone.

Nat- sorry I wasn't there when you woke up. Had mission reports to start. Take the pain killers, drink some water and get some rest. That's an order. -0931
I'll come check on you soon but message me if you need anything please. - 0938

Claire- thank you Nat. -1027
I'm going to have a shower and and then I'll lay down. -1028

Nat- let me know when you're out of the shower and I'll come see you. -1034

I started stripping my clothes off that Nat must have got for me while I was unconscious, whining at every small movement. The water felt warm washing over me. It stung a little at first but otherwise it felt nice. I washed my hair as best as I could as I could hardly lift my arms.I closed my eyes and let the water cascade around me. It wasn't long until I felt faint so got out and starting to dry myself. I soon discovered getting dressed was much harder than getting undressed.

There was a knock at my door I knew by the knock that it was Nat.
"Come In Nat" I said.
She walked in as I stood there trying to put my shirt on.
"I'm sorry I should have come and helped you earlier. Turn around and I'll help you put that on. She says taking the shirt from my hands.
I turned around like she asked.
"Claire!" Nat gasped "the bruise on your back is so bad".
"It feels bad as well" I laughed with a wince.
It wasn't pleasant but we got my top on.
"I'm so sorry you're in pain sweetheart. Come sit and I'll braid your hair" she said with a sad smile.

We sat on my bed as Nat tucked the damp tendrils of my hair into a braid. It hurt to sit up the way I was but I was happy to do it.

"You smell nice" Nat suddenly said breaking the comfortable silence we were both in.
"That's what washing off dirt and blood will do" I tried not to laugh.
"No but normally, you always smell nice, I like the way you always smell of vanilla" she confessed to me.
"My new favourite smell is coconut because that what your hair always smells like" I smiled.
