Why Won't You Stay

The Main Priority Doesn't Always Come First

The helicopter landed in a forest. The trees were whipping around like it was a hurricane. Steve jumped off immediately and ran past soldiers only to get one.

"Peggy." Steve met with her and looked her up and down. "Your leg."

"Rough landing." She shrugged. Her leg was broken. "What about your shoulder and legs?"

"They're fully healed already." He held onto her hand and waited until they were put on the chopper. "What did you hit?"

"A tree then the ground."

"If I could kick its ass then I would."

"If you're kicking anyone's ass then get Gavin Lang."

"Why?"

"He tried to pick me up."

"What did you do?" Steve laughed a little.

"Kicked his balls in."

"That's my girl." Peggy was holding in her tears from the pain and Steve was sad to see her suffer.

The chopper landed and Peggy was rushed to the ER. She needed to be treated with antibiotics, painkillers, and a cast needed to be placed. Steve ran in.

"Doctor may I speak with you?"

"Of course Captain."

They walked a few feet away from Peggy.

"My blood contains the serum right?"

"Yes why?"

"Well if we take some of my blood and give it to Peggy she should heal quicker right?"

"Depends what your blood type is."

"I'm O negative."

"Ah, universal. Of course you are. It could work but if it can't be too much blood because we won't know what will happen."

"Understood. I'll go tell her."

"Peggy. Great news."

"What? They're going to take me in the back and shoot me?"

"No. They are going to give you some of my blood that contains the serum. This will help your leg heal quicker."

"That sounds like good news to me. Do you mind passing me some rum. I'd rather use that as a painkiller."

"Sorry babe I don't have any alcohol with me."

"Oh you're such sap. Not even a flask?" Steve shook his head. Since he can't get drunk, what's the point of carrying alcohol?

"I could go see if Bucky has any."

"Do hurry."

Steve got up and tried to find Bucky. He searched everywhere but he found him in the least likely spot, Steve's room.

"Uh hey Buck. What are you doing in here? Actually doesn't matter. Do you have any alcohol?"

"For your girlfriend?" He mocked him.

"What's been going on lately Buck?"

"Nothing. Here's the flask." Steve didn't believe him but took the flask and left.

"Peggy, here's some from Bucky. I don't know what's in it."

"Let's hope it's something strong." She took a sip. "Whiskey. Yay."

"How are you holding up?"
Steve is so innocent.

"Steve, I'm getting drunk, I have dark circles around my eyes, and my leg is broken."
