Emerald's Pov

I open my eyes with a groan, feeling a jolt of pain travel through my stomach. The first thing i see is a pure white ceiling and the smell of disinfectant. I know I'm in the medical room, but i have no idea how i got here because all i remember is confronting that bastered, being shot, and then everything turning black. I look around, trying to see if anyone is here with me, and i see my brother asleep in an uncomfortable looking chair in the corner of the room. I grab the water bottle that is on the cabinet next to me, make sure the cap is on tight, then throw it at him, and it hits him right in the stomach making him jolt up with a groan.

He looks around with anger in his eyes, but when he sees me awake, his eyes soften, and he rushes over to me. He holds my hand, looking at me worriedly, and i absolutely hate seeing him so worried about me. I see him push a button on the side of the bed, but i don't know what it's for until i see a bunch of nurses run into the room. I glare at Clint because why the hell did he get them to come in here when i'm perfectly fine. One nurse checks my vitals while two other nurses check the wound on my stomach, and then there is the final nurse who is looking at me like she's trying to come up with some questions.

I go to open my mouth to tell her i'm fine, but before i could even speak, the door is thrown open with such force it collides with the door. There in the doorway glaring at the nurse is my beautiful soulmate, and seeing her glare at the nurse ignites hope in my chest. I go to open my mouth to speak, but yet again, im interrupted, and this time it's by the nurse next to me because she puts an oxygen mask over my face while unnecessarily grazing her fingers over my cheek. Before I could even tell her not to touch me, she was on the floor with a bloody nose, and Natasha was standing over her with a gun pointed down at her. With some difficulty, thanks to the iv in the back of my hand, i managed to put my hand on Natasha's arm, making her turn her attention to me.

"Darlin. Don't." I said softly

"She touched you! She had no right touching you the way she did! You are mine!" She said angrily, glaring at the nurse

Damn it, why is her possessiveness such a turn-on! I can't be turned on right now!

"Darlin. Look at me, not her. You know who my heart lays with. She means nothing to me. You are my soulmate, not her." I said, speaking as softly as i can

"Mine." She said, looking at me, putting her gun back on the holster on her thigh

"Yes, yours, darlin." I said with a smile

"Get out! All of you. Send Bruce in here." She snapped at the nurses

They scurried out as fast as their legs could carry them, and not even a minute later, Bruce walks in, then he finishes cleaning the wound on my stomach.

"Your vitals are stable. I took the bullet out with minimal difficulties. You will have scaring, im afraid. You are having antibiotics and pain medication through the Iv in your hand. You will be staying here for a couple of days so i can monitor your recovery." He says as he finishes dressing the wound

"No nurses." Natasha said to him

"I gathered that from seeing them fleeing the room. I will personally check on Emerald, Natasha." He answered her politely

"Do I have a say in any of this?" I asked, taking the oxygen mask off

"No." Clint and Natasha said at the same time, making me groan

"Bruce, help me out here." I said, looking at him

"And go against your brother and soulmate. I think not. You are on your own." He replied amusingly

Before I could say anything, i saw Peter slowly walk through the doorway, holding a coffee in his hands

"Clint? Tony told me to bring you coffee." Peter whispers softly, looking at the floor

"Hey, kid. Watch where you are going. I don't want you falling and burning yourself." I said softly, making him freeze

"A-Aunt Clover!?" He said slowly, looking up with tears in his eyes

"Yes, sweetheart." I said, smiling

"Oh my god! Auntie!" He screams as Clint quickly takes the coffee

"Come here." I said, opening my arms, but he just looks at Bruce

"It's okay, Peter. Just be careful of her IV and stomach." Bruce said softly

He practically runs over to me and lays down next to me on the smallest bit of free space on the bed. He hides his face on my neck, and i feel his tears hitting my skin.

"Shhhhhh, it's okay. I'm okay." I whisper, rubbing his back

"She's okay, little one. She just needs a lot of rest." Natasha said, running her fingers through his hair

"Bruce, Clint. Can you give us some time alone please." I asked softly, still giving peter comfort

"Of course. Press this if you need anything." Bruce said, showing me what to press

"I'll be back at lunchtime to bring you three some food." Clint said softly, then kissed my forehead

They walk out but not before taking one last look at me to make sure I'm already, and once they leave, Peter's sobs are loud and heartbreaking. Natasha and I keep comforting him the best way he can, and after an hour, he has cried himself to sleep with his head still in my neck. I kiss his head and then look at Natasha only to see her already looking at me with a mixture of emotions in her eyes.

"We need to talk." She whispers not to wake Peter

" She whispers not to wake Peter
