The Sparrow

Chapter 24

"Wait so you're leaving me here?!" I shouted as Tony handcuffed me to the hospital bed. He laughed and handed the key to Natasha. That bastard. I yanked on the cuff but t wasn't budging.

"Why can't I go?!" I whined and pulled on the cuff harder. Steve sat in the chair beside the bed and placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Because it's too dangerous for you." He tells me and I scoff before shrugging him off.

"Yeah right! I'm apart of the team! I'm an Avenger right? I'm tough! I can do it! Just please, let me go. I have to do this..." I trail off and look down at my lap.

"Why? Why do you have to do this? Why do you have to go out there and get yourself killed?!" Clint was close to shouting, his face was flushed and he looked pissed.

"To prove him wrong!!" I yelled and they all looked taken aback.

"To prove who wrong Em?" Tony asked, running a hand through his already messy hair.

"Loki. He said the only reason I was welcomed on the team was because of my gained abilities." I explain and it's only then I realize I'm crying.

"Oh Emma, honey no. That's not why at all. We've been meaning to get you on the team for years, but then all the action with the Tesseract stirred up and your file was put aside. I'm sorry you feel this way, but you were welcomed into the team because of your original skill." Natasha explains and I sniffle.

"I still want to go fight." I comment stubbornly and awkwardly attempt to cross one arm. Stupid hand cuffs.

"Well you-" Steve paused to stop and listen to whatever was being said into his ear piece and stood from the chair. He pressed a quick kiss to my cheek and looked to the others.

"We have to go." He said and walked out. Clint pecked my forehead and Natasha squeezed my hand before they walked out as well. Tony smiled at me, kissed the top of my head and walked out leaving me alone. I sighed and he popped his head back in.

"Oh, and don't think about melting those cuffs." He said with a wink and left. I smiled and immediately focused all of my heat into my wrist. The cuff began to turn red and slowly drip off of my wrist. When I was freed, I jumped out of the bed and ran down the hall to the weaponry, ignoring the pain in my abdomen. I burst through the door and ran to my case. My suit was there but not my weapons. I dressed as fast as I could without falling over. Pouting, I stuck my hand in my pocket and felt a paper. I pulled it out and opened it, immediately recognizing Tony's messy scribble.

"Em, you clever girl. Check my case, you're welcome.

-Tony"

I grinned and ran to Tony's case and opened it. There sat three guns, two knives, and a whip. I pulled out the sleek black gun and shot it at the random dummy near by, which had a paper cut out of Fury stapled to it's head. The gun shot the same light energy as Tony's suit. The whip lined itself with the energy and also could line itself with spikes. All assorted by buttons of course. The knives were programmed to return to my after the throw. The second knife had note pinned to it.

"Jump. Outside. Not inside.

-Tony"

I snuck outside and stood on the top of the Helli-carrier. Making sure all of my weapons were secured in my belt, I jumped. And as soon as my feet touched the ground, I shot up into the air. Tony made me rocket boots?! I took off for New York.

"Tony, I love you."
