Peter Parker fanfic

§11

Kitty's POV

I woke up to messy haired Peter next to me. I remember what happened last night, the kiss, Peter holding me close, feeling every strong muscle through his t-shirt. My body felt warm and fuzzy...

Until it didn't

An excruciating pain shot through my side making me scream. There was a numbness taking over my brain and I fell back, seeing everything fuzzy. Peter's face hovered over mine, his voice muffled by a ringing in my ears

'Kitty stay with me' he snapped his fingers and I heard loud foot steps and yelling coming through my door

Then I blacked out.

I woke up in the familiar hospital bed of the infirmary in HQ. I saw Dr. Banner talking to another doctor I didn't recognise at the foot of my bed. I looked to my side and saw the IV attached to my arm

"What happened, why am I here?" I asked, still a little groggy

instead of Bruce answering he stayed silent and rubbed his forehead with one hand. The other doctor took a step towards me making me nervous

"Hi Katherine, I'm Dr. Schon. I have been discussing your condition with Dr. Banner here"

"my condition?" I asked getting even more nervous

"It seems the internal bleeding was much worse than I originally thought Kitty, I'm so sorry" Bruce stepped to the other side of my bed

"So does this mean I have to have surgery?"

"Katherine you've already undergone surgery" Dr. Schon stated "You've been out for 3 days"

"That can't be, I was- I just" I was so confused. It felt like I'd passed out for a few minutes

"Luckily, we were able to stop the internal bleeding, bring your body temperature back to normal levels, and fix everything up" Dr. Schon continued "You have been cleared for release as soon as you woke up, we will have to monitor your heart for a few more hours but in the meantime you'll be able to have visitors" He left, leaving me with a very sad Bruce

"Oh Kitty" he sighed sadly "I'm so sorry, I should've taken more precautions"

"I don't blame you Bruce" I said grabbing his arm

He took my hand in his and held it for a second, sighing again "I'm so glad you're okay"

Just then, I heard loud footsteps approaching my door, my dad burst in with Steve and Nat

"Katherine, my girl, I'm so glad you're okay" my dad said, practically falling on my hospital bed

"Kit, you really scared us there" Nat said coming around to Bruce's side. Steve stayed on my dad's side, putting a hand on my shoulder and possibly fighting back tears. I take his hand and whisper 'I'm okay'

He hugged me and I feel one tear land on my shoulder. My dad stood up and looked at me, his eyes red and puffy. I looked at him and smiled

"where's everyone else?" I asked, and by 'everyone else' I meant Peter Parker

"Doctor said 3 people at a time" Nat answered. When I looked at her I noticed dark circles under her eyes, same with everyone. They all looked so tired. Had they been sleeping these past few days?

"Bruce how fast can you get me out of here"I asked. He picked up a clipboard and signed something

"Now" he said putting it down and going to unhook my IV

Natasha handed me a pile of my clothes, my favourite leggings and a sweatshirt I didn't recognise. She leant down to my ear and whispered 'It's Peter's, he wanted you to have it when you woke up' I almost started to cry when she said that. Everyone but Nat left so she could help me get changed as I was still a little weak. I slipped on the leggings. Before putting on the sweater I twisted to see the bandage where they'd made the incision. I sighed and pulled the sweatshirt over my head, my senses getting overwhelmed by the smell of Peter

"Doctor said you're recovery process is going to be just a few short days, thanks to your dad" Nat said beginning to help me out the door and down the hallway. I was still a bit wobbly

"how?" I was curious

"Your dad's been working on a little formula to speed up healing processes, it worked on Thor so we administered it to you"

"thank you guys so much"

We took the elevator from the infirmary up to the main level. I walked into the kitchen, Natasha still supporting me, to see everyone standing there with a big cake saying 'welcome back Kitty'

I looked at Peter, his face looking tired but still bright. He smiled his big cheeky smile and put his hands in his pockets, letting Clint and Thor come hug me first. I stood there with everyone looking at me, realising how lucky I was to have them.
