Her eyelids were heavy as they fluttered open, she took in the white walls around her along with the white ceiling which had been completed with fluorescent lighting. She heard a familiar rhythmic beeping and almost immediately realised that, not for the first time in her life, she was in a hospital bed. She tried to sit up but felt a certain degree of discomfort that prevented it, instead she tried to move her right hand but found the weight of a head tried to prevent it. She looked at the owner of the head and noted that it was her father, carefully and slowly she slid the hand out from underneath her father's head, she watched as he slowly woke up and smiled at him as he lifted his head "Hey," was all she said, she noted that he looked as though worry had aged him and felt the need to ask "How long was I out because I swear you've aged,"

She heard a light female chuckle at her question and noted that Pepper sat on her other side "You've been out for about four days. The doctors decided to stick you in a coma after the surgery because you're dad noticed you thrashing about in your sleep and got worried," Pepper answered after breaking free of her laughter.

"How many federal laws did he almost break getting here?" Samantha asked jokingly.

"Would've been about three," Pepper explained.

After this conversation, Samantha felt herself being ambushed with a hug from her father "Dad... can't breathe," she tried as he held onto her tightly "If you're not careful you'll tear the stitches," she said which got her out of the hug.

"Swear to god you'd better not do that again,"

"Dad I can't guarantee I won't end up in another situation where a gun will be used on me," she argued.

"Fine just promise me that you won't do what you did,"

"Fine I promise never to hack into a top secret global organisation, shut down one of their projects temporarily, get myself arrested then pretend to take Clint hostage and get myself shot in the process," she relented jokingly and watched as her father smiled slightly "So, how is everyone else?"

"Well your stunt made sure that you got Clint and Agent 13 out okay, Fury got out fine too and Natasha's currently dealing with senate hearings," Tony answered relatively calmly.

"And Steve?"

"They found him on the bed of the Potomac River the day after you were brought in, they say he'll be fine but he's comatose for the moment," he continued, unsure as to how his daughter would take the news "He's a couple of doors down from you if you wanted to see him once the doctors give you the okay," he said after seeing how Samantha felt the need to take a deep breath as she took the news in.

Samantha wheeled herself into Steve's room, able to hear the Troubleman Soundtrack by Marvin Gaye. "How's he doing?" she asked the man who sat near to Steve's bedside.

"He's doing alright, considering. Sorry but who exactly are you?" the man asked, his mouth turning upwards into a smile but his eyes portraying something slightly different.

"Samantha Montgomery," she answered, a polite smile on her face.

"So you're the girl who came up with the original plan, "he said then as an after-thought he introduced himself "I'm Sam Wilson by the way,"

"Nice to meet you," Samantha replied "Is this the Troubleman soundtrack?" she said as she got into the groove of the album.

"You like Marvin Gaye?"
