"Tony what are you talking about, it's just a cold or something, I'm fine" I try to reassure them. As I look up to Tony you can see his face becoming more worried, his eyebrows are furrowed, his eyes deep in thought. "Tony?!" I shout to snap him out of his thoughts and back into reality.

"Do you guys mind if I have a word with y/n alone?" Tony asks turning to Bruce and Steve. They don't say anything they just give him a nod and leave. As Steve leaves he looks back at you and gives you a smile.

As Tony sits on the edge of the bed he looks at me, I recognise that look. It was the same one he had on his face when he told me mum and dad had died. That's when I knew it was something serious.

"Am I dying?" I laugh. Trying to break this tension but he looks at me in shock. Timing was completely off there I guess.

"No you're not dying, we'll not yet at least. But while you where out we ran tests to see what was going on and everything..." he trails off

"Tony?!" I shout to bring him back into reality once again. "What's going on, just spit it out, it's nothing I can't handle."

"Y/n..." he starts

"Y/n the stuff that was slipped into your drink the other night, it wasn't just the ordinary date rape drug not it was something much worse, it um, i-we aren't 100% sure yet what it even is or anything, um but, in simple terms, it has made it's way into your systems and it's attacking your stomach."

I stare at him in disbelief. I thought it was something so much worse. I wonder what other tests he ran?

"Y/n?" He says while placing his hand on top of mine. "We have pump out your stomach to get it out of your system before it can do anymore damage."

"Um, yeah... sure whatever it takes" I slowly say.

"You know, that means you won't be able to drink for a while" he chuckles as he says it.

"Whatever" I laugh with him, "when, um when are we doing this then?"

Tony gets up and as he's leaving the room he turns to say "now."

~~~~~~

It's been half an hour, no sign of Tony, I wonder has something has went wrong or has he forgot about me? I jump to my feet to go and find him but everything starts spinning again. Not my best idea. I lean on the doorframe for support, waiting for the dizziness to go away.

"Y/n you should be lying down " I hear a voice

I shake my head as everything seems to be to normal... kind of normal. Besides the massive head ache. You look up to see Steve back again.

"I know I was just going to find Tony. I think he's forgot about me" you laugh. You look up into Steve's eyes and he doesn't ay anything. It's like he's stuck.

"Steve?" I ask in a calm voice.

I bit my bottom lip trying not to laugh as you can see him turn red with embarrassment. Without warning he picks me up and threw me over his shoulder. I squirm trying to get out of his arms but it was no luck.

"Let me go" I say as he continues to walk back towards my bed. He finally set me down on the I just spent ages trying to get out of.
