"Hey, hey, how you feeling? You okay?" Bruce said softly, rushing to Madeline's side as she sat up, finally awake.

"No. I feel like I'm about to throw up all of my organs." She groaned, rubbing a hand over her forehead. "What happened?"

"That paint you were using? Yeah it wasn't paint. That stuff was meant for an experiment of mine. But never mind that, we've gotta get some painkillers in you, as well as food and water, here." He said, handing her a water bottle, a sandwich, and some ibuprofen. "You should be fine, but there's something else you should know."

"What is it?"

"Maddy! You're up!" Tony barged into the room, rushing over to give his daughter a hug. "You okay? Anything I can get you?"

"Some space would be great." She grumbled, lightly pushing him off.

"Right, sorry honey. Come on, Pete, Sam, and Barnes have a surprise for you - Steve too." He said, gently hurrying her out of the room and down to the other floor.

"Are you kidding me? You already put it in the glass way too early, and now you're gonna leave it out too? In a room with no air conditioning? It's gonna be warm and flat by the time Maddy's awake!" Sam yelled at Peter, who in response 'accidentally' spilled the Diet Coke on him.

"Oh I'm gonna-"

"You two are still arguing about the- really Sam? All that just to spill it on yourself?"

"That little-"

"Ahem." Tony cleared his throat and all eyes went to him and Madeline. "Look who's awake."

"Hi." She whispered, not meaning for her voice to be that quiet.

"Hey, Mads! Look!" Peter said, already leading her to her room.

They had set up a tv on the wall, put a mini fridge next to the bed, bought a whole new vanity for her and put it by the window, as well as cover her bed in various fluffy blankets, including a hello kitty one similar to the one on her floor.

They'd also tried to fix up the bathroom, adding her favourite flowers, perfumes, hair products, and a couple bath bombs, all courtesy of Wanda and her mind reading.

But the thing that stood out the most was the cat bed, scratching post, and cat toys that were all scattered neatly around the room.

"What's all this?" She smiled, picking up a tiny pink collar, covered in tiny heart shaped gems.

"That's Steve's part of the surprise." Sam said, gesturing for him to bring the cat in.

"Oh my god, she's so cute!" Madeline gasped, her voice going higher as she said hello to it. "Hi baby, what's your name?"

"That's actually for you to decide." Steve smiled, but the moment was cut short as him and Tony were called away by JARVIS to help Natasha with something.

"I'll check on you later, let me know if you need anything." Tony said, patting Maddy's arm.

She sat down on the side of her bed with the cat in her lap.

"Any ideas for a name? I'm thinking Samantha." Sam said with a smirk.

"Or spidercat." Peter suggested.

"I think I'll ask Morgan for ideas. Hey, what time is it?"

"2pm. Morgan 'll be home in an hour. Until then, you should get some rest." Sam said, earning a nod from Peter.

"Probably. Thanks for all this." She said quietly, forcing a small even though her whole body was killing her.

"We'll leave you to it." Peter agreed.
