Darilyn is curled up on one of the large couches in the common area beside Steve shivering beneath her furry blanket (it's fake fur) bright green in colour.
he's not leaving her out of his sight until Clint and Natasha return home. he's been training the S.H.I.E.L.D. recruits more and more lately so he could have more normal work hours occasionally he'd join in on a mission here and there but he preferred to stay home, at Stark tower.
Natasha and Clint are yet again on an undercover mission and have left Darilyn in the care of her godfather Steven Grant Rogers.
Darilyn seems to be cold . even though she's wearing a S.H.I.E.L.D. issued tracksuit set meant to be worn for the cold weather.
Steve is of the assumption that she's sick maybe she has a cold or the flu.
Bruce is coming up from the labs in a minute to see if she's OK so Steve had said he'd keep her in the common area so Bruce could easily find them.
Steve checks her temperature and is shocked to find she's actually quite warm even though she's saying she's so freaking cold.
this worries him.
he calls for Bruce to check her now through J.A.R.V.I.S.
Bruce skids out of the lift and rushes over to them on the couch, his dark blue lab coat flapping behind him with his speedy movements.
he checks her temperature.
he listens to her chest, gets her to cough and frowns when he takes away his stethoscope .
Steve feels his heart drop to his stomach fearing the worst.
Bruce pulls him aside to tell him what's the issue with Darilyn's health.
"right Steve , I think she has the flu.....but I don't like how her breathing sounds .keep an eye on her while I go down to the labs and get her some medicine"
"sure" Steve answers with a nod zooming back to Darilyn's side .
he pulls her into a warm embrace hoping he can warm her up while they wait for Bruce.
"how ya feeling, kid ?"
"I got a mean headache and I feel achy all over my body, I'm so freaking cold too"
"don't worry Bruce will get ya something for it. I promise I'll make ya some chocolate cupcakes when ya feel better .what kind of icing ya want on them ?" he asks her in an attempt to distract her from her pain.
"I want purple icing with black spiders iced on em, could ya do that for me Steve, please ?" she asks with a shiver.
"you got it kid " Steve whispers giving her a cuddle.
Bruce spends a good five minutes searching for the medicine he'd need to administer to Darilyn to make her better.
he makes a mental note to ask Tony if anyone had reorganized his medicine cabinet.
Bruce arrives at the common area and administers the medicine to Darilyn.
it makes her fall asleep.
Steve decides to let her stay in his room as it's the closest to where they are.
Bruce watches as Steve gently sets her down in his large bed folding the black and green covers over her sleeping form leaving her blanket still draped over her body.
