Enemies or friends?

10. Dr. Banner

Steve's point of view

I woke up next morning, feeling a lot better. My head was resting on Bucky's chest, while Tony was cuddled at Bucky's side. 

Wait, what? I thought to myself. Bucky started to move and I sat up. ˝Good morning˝

˝Morning,˝ he growled. He looked at Tony. ˝Somebody was really tired yesterday, I see.˝ He shook him. ˝Stark? Time to get up!˝

Tony yawned, slowly opening his eyes. When he realised how was he positioned, he jumped away, his face turning the faint shade of red.

˝Oh, I'm sorry. I must have fallen asleep during the movie˝. Me and Bucky both laughed, then I remembered something. 

Stark is gona take me to doctor today. I didn't exactly loved the idea. It's not like I'm afraid of doctors, but in my eary life I spend a fair share of my time in their offices or in hospitals. Since my family was poor, mostly we didn't have enough money to afford all of the medicine I would need, so sometimes doctors offered to give me some untested medicine to see if it works. Well, it usually didn't. In best case nothing happened, in most of cases gave me a terrible stomach problems, but in the worst case, I almost died. Luckily, they gave me the real treatment after for free, but I still have to suffered a lot before that. When Bucky found out about that, he was pissed off and later he sometimes borrowed money or worked three jobs to pay for my medicine after my parents died, even though I told him he don't have to do this. 

To add to this, I also wasn't sure if I want to know why I'm sick. What if it's something really bad? What if I'd had to stop working with Avengers? I was hoping that Tony forgot about his promise. 

Well, he didn't. As soon as he woke up completly, he declared. ˝I am going to take a shover and you, Capsickle, get ready for visiting doctor˝. He laughed, then added, already at the doors. ˝I'll call Bruce and arrange a meeting in two hours.˝

I rolled my eyes, then went to take a shover myself. Bucky asked me if I need help, but I told him, that I'm fine. Which I was. So far. 

Tony shoved up two hours later as he said he will and he walked with me and Bucky to the medical room. They both insisted on going with me, which was a relief. I really didn't want to go alone. 

As we arrived, Bruce was already there. He asked me to sit down on the bed thingy. Then he started asking me about my symptoms. Just like Tony, he was suprised to find out how long I was feeling this way. 

˝You should really came here sooner, Steve. I don't bite, you know. Although the other dude does, sometimes.˝ 

I laughed, as he checked my temperature and blood presure. Then he asked me to remove my shirt and lay down.

˝I am going to press on different points of your stomach and you say something if it hurts, okay?˝

I nodded and he started to pressing my stomach. It didn't exactly hurt, it was just really uncomfortable, but I kept quiet. When he pressed a bit harder, I bit my lip. Ow. That hurts. 

Bucky must have noticed my expression, because he groaned in frustration. ˝You stupid punk, Steve, say something. We are trying to help you there!˝ he half yelled at me, then turned to Bruce. ˝Do it again, I'll tell you if it hurts him.˝

Bruce did as told, and Bucky was telling him how much he thinks it hurts me, according to my facial expression. I tried so hard to kept it nevtral, but it just didn't work. Suddenly Bruce poked with his finger and pain that shoot up my body made me nauseus. I sat up.

˝Ow. Stop. That hurts˝. I clasped my stomach with my hand, taking deap breaths, while trying not to throw up. Bruce looked at me. 

˝Well, your stomach seems a bit stiff, but that shouldn't make you feel that bad. We will do an ultrasound to see if you have any internal injuries.˝

Bucky laughed at me. ˝See, was that so hard?˝ 

I stuck my tongue out. ˝Jerk˝. 

˝Punk˝

Tony was rolling his eyes during this conversation, while Bruce brough a tube of blue gel. He started putting the cold gel on my stomach. ˝Look, this is an ultrasound. We can see the internal organs with it. The blue gel helps to get a better look. I will move this handle over your stomach and the picture will apear on that screen over here˝. He gestured to the screen, then did as he explained. Something appeared on the screen. Bruce frowned.
