After Natasha had left his nurse had entere after speaking with dr. Ashad who was seemingly in a rush. After their conversation was complete, nurse Miller walked in and elevated his leg, which alleviated a lot of the pain.
There on out, steve noticed small things, suspicious things. He could tell he was nervous, his forehead was sweating and he avoided eye contact at all costs.
He kept looking outside the room, looking out for someone. And the vile. The vile was not like the others, and the label had been torn off.
"What is that?" Steve asked and the nurse starts filling the needle with the contents of the vile. "What is that?" Steve asked more alarmingly.
"This'll burn a bit at first and make you a little drowsy," he went to inject it into his line but steve stopped him, his wrist still casted.
Miller was pushed into the wall so he decided he'd have to inject him directly. He raised his arm and started swinging it down but steve punch him in the gut, which hurt, immensely and so he let out a loud cry.

Natasha ran to his side and kept a hand on his shoulder to hold him back, "what the hell is going on?"
"His stab wound hasn't fully healed and he's now bleeding internally" they started moving his bed and Natasha ran with them.
"Natasha—!" He grunted and squeezed her hand extremely tight.
"Yeah, I'm gonna call tony don't worry" she looked at him, "just don't die ok?"
He nodded as the red line was approaching, "thank you—" he exhaled.
She was stopped by one of the nurses at the line and watched as they all sped past the double doors leading to the or.
