The next time I woke up, I was on a mattress, I could feel multiple someones petting me. One on my muzzle, one on my neck, and one on my side.
"I think she's waking up," I heard a feminine voice say.
The hand on my muzzle stopped and moved to under my jaw, another hand joined it.
My eyes felt heavy, but I managed to open them.
"There she is," Clint. It was Clint.
I gave a close-mouthed chatter as I blinked slowly.
"Hey Delta," Pietro and Wanda's face both moved into my vision.
"What is wrong with her?" Pietro asked as he put a hand on my face.
"She was really drugged up, T'Challa's keeping her that way until he can find a way to heal her,".
I moved to put my back leg beneath my body to get up.
Clint pushed Pietro and Wanda back a bit, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, easy,".
I growled and continued to try to stand.
Clint put a hand on my back, trying to keep me laying down.
I flopped over onto my side with a groan.
Clint moved his hand to my neck. "You can't get up yet Delta, you took a hit,".
I grabbed Clint's shirt in my jaws and pulled him onto the mattress. He gave a startled noise before I grabbed Pietro and Wanda as well.
I shifted to curl up around the three, but my tail didn't move around them.
I moved my head to look at what was wrong with it before I remembered what I'd heard earlier.
'Why did they take her tail?'
My tail was gone, there was just a little nub at the base of where it used to be, heavily covered in gauze that was starting to dot red.
So it was me. I lost my tail saving Rhodey's life, or at least I hope I did...
I started trying to get up again.
Clint moved back over and put a hand on my back, "It's okay, hey, Delta," Clint gave Pietro and Wanda a look.
Wanda's magic swirled near her hands before extending towards me.
Everything went black as soon as it touched me.
