Hey Stranger

For the pain

"Tony, go. Shower." Steve insisted. He rested well throughout the night and woke up around 11 am and tony had never left.

"No, no I'm fine—"

Natasha interrupted, "you stink. Go. Shower. Please." She pleaded.

Tony made a face and looked back at steve, who reassured him he'd be just fine for the hour or two he'd be gone. "I'll be okay." Steve smiled.

Tony pouted and stood up, "I'll be right back," he leaned over and kissed steves forehead, "bye" he smiled and walked out of the room.

Natasha raised her eyebrows and looked at steve, "what?" He asked.

"You guys are cute," she chuckled and he smiled, "I'm just trying to figure what I'm going to bug you about during our missions now."

He smiled, "I told you I didn't need your help"

She laughed and patted his shoulder, "I'm going to get some lunch, I'll be back in a jiff okay?" He nodded and she walked out of the room, only planning to be gone a few minutes. She spoke with a male nurse on her way out, "anybody going in needs a badge. No one else. I'll be back in a few minutes"

He nodded and watched her walk away. He turned to steve across the way and slipped his hand into his pocket to grab the needle and vile of poison, betrachotoxin.

He scanned the hall before walking around the counter while draping his stethoscope around his neck, "Miller!" He stopped in his tracks and nervously smiled. He turned to see dr. Ashad walking up to him.

"Dr. Ashad," he smiled, "how can I help?"

"I was just about to come get you, captain rogers' have been showing signs of some edema in his right leg, make sure you elevate it and get an ultrasound done just to be safe."

"Right away doctor," he nodded and walked into the room. "How are you feeling captain?" He asked as he grabbed a few spare pillows to place under his right leg, as the doctor ordered.

"Sore," he exhaled and laughed a bit.

"Well that's normal," he trailed off and stared out of the room while pulling the ultrasound machine to the right side of the bed, until he saw that dr. Ashad had left. "Were going to do a quick ultrasound on your leg to make sure everything is well, there's just some edema concerning us." He walked over to the head of steves bed and pulled the poison out of his pocket. "But I can give you something for the pain,"
