Amanda Smith (The Avengers ff) #English

34.

Sunday afternoon

If there were no English subtitles here, then I would be lost.
Slowly I put the remote control away and wait. Soon, Steve and Natasha should be here.

I want to get outta here!
There are steps in the corridor. Shortly thereafter, the door opens. Steve comes in, but Natasha stops at the door and leaves it open strangely.
"Before we leave, there's a visit for you, he asked us", she says. I just look at her questioningly.

When I see his brown hair, I realize. Why is he coming here?
"What are you doing here?", I ask happily surprised.
"I wanted to see how you're really doing, you look awful", he says and sits down next to me.
I'm probably still pretty pale.
"I know, but I'm fine", I say with a smile.
"And how's the food here?", he asks, whereupon I start to laugh.
"Typical hospital food", I say,
"But at least there are subtitles on the television".

"Does it really hurt that much?", he asks.
"Well pretty, mainly when I move", I say.
He nods.
"So first get changed, we'll go to the cafeteria, we'll be back in a few minutes", Steve says.
"Okay, see you then", I say.

After they left, I try to put on a sweater.
Anything except easy.
After a felt eternity, I finally made it. The rest of the clothes are, in contrast to the sweater, no problem.
I sit back on the bed and take another sip of the juice.
This tastes very good.

After turning off the TV, I listen to the sounds in the corridors. Many doctors are walking around.

This morning, a doctor was also visiting me. She was very nice and told me that she is also from America.

Slowly I get up and go to the window. The environment is very calming.
When the door opens, I turn around. Natasha and the doctor come in.
"Do you really want to leave this place?", She asks. I nod eagerly, whereupon the doctor notes something.
"Then let's go", Natasha says.
Slowly I follow her into the hall, where Peter and Steve are waiting with food.
"Well, hungry?".
"Of course", I say while walking out.
"Why am I always the idiot who's waiting in the jet?" I hear Clint ask and laugh. Peter laughs too as we get in.
During the flight we talk. I also tell him about the operation. He looks at me in shock, but says nothing.

Back in New York, I say goodbye to them and go with Peter to Grandma.
"Hey Grandma", I say as we enter the apartment.
"Amanda, you wanted to come back yesterday, what happened?", She asks.
"Don't worry, I just had a little accident and was in the hospital for a short time, you know how clumsy I am.
It's just a shoulder bruise. However, the doctor has issued me a certificate for sports", I say quickly.
"Oh, you have to be more careful, sweetheart", she says and goes to the kitchen.
"Okay, I'll make my way home, should I pick you up tomorrow so you don't get exhausted?", Peter suddenly asks.
"You don't have to do that", I say.
Just because I hurt myself, not everyone should treat me like a child.
"But I want to.
Tomorrow at 7am I'll pick you up", he says and leaves before I can say anything else.

After dinner, I pack my school supplies and go to bed.
