When they had all gone in to the hospital, it was all kind of a blur for Nick. She remembered Pepper getting cured, then she remembered Tony getting the chest piece Arc Reactor finally taken out of his chest and all the shrapnel pieces being removed. She hardly remembered the week that followed, where they had all been released by the hospital, including her with the given instructions to take it easy on her leg and shoulder.
Happy had woken up, and they had managed to get back to Harley, Nick getting the letterman jacket back and Tony leaving the boy behind a couple presents, including another Dora watch.
After everything, Nick felt like they were finally safe. But since the mansion was gone, Tony and Pepper made the decision that they would be moving, and when they told Nick, she was surprisingly okay with it. Even though they'd be moving to New York, where her and Tony both had bad memories, Nick would also be leaving the Williams and all her friends behind.
And, though, leaving the Williams behind - with the promise that she would definitely visit, Nick also found it a bit harder to leave behind her friends... and Jack.
It was a week after Christmas when the Homecoming Dance had been postponed to and now called the New Years Homecoming Dance, since it was supposed to be the day after the big game, but then the whole Mandarin thing happened.
Nick was looking at herself in the mirror of the hotel suite they were staying in for the past week, and after tonight, they were heading to move into the new Avengers Tower in New York. The girl was currently biting her bottom lip, which had the mostly healed scab on it, as she looked over herself in the dress that her and Pepper had picked out about a month ago.
It was a really pretty pale pink with a flowy skirt, but she was frowning as she looked over herself, because even though it had been a week since Christmas and everything, some of her injuries hadn't healed yet.
The calf of her leg was wrapped in a bandage, and there were still healing scrapes on her knees - but thankfully the bruise on her other leg had healed. Then her eyes trailed up to her arms, one of which was wrapped in a bandage because of the burned handprint on her skin, while the other one had a bandage around her elbow from an apparent pavement skinning and getting burned by heat and flames.
All the little scratches that had littered her skin had healed during the week, but when she looked at her face, there was the hint of a bruise on her forehead and a hint of a bruise where she used to have a scrape on her cheek.
Nick turned around a bit while her right hand was up and fiddling with the golden necklace she was wearing, but with a breath, she then exited the bathroom and headed back into her room of the suite. She went over to sit on the bed before picking up the key that was on the nightstand and was attached to a chain, which she then put over her neck - this was the only thing of her's that had actually made it through the destruction of the house, but she was thankful for that since this was the only thing her mother had really left behind for her.
