Tony just pulled up in a car to pick up me, Natasha, Wanda, Pepper, Maria, Val, Carol, and Lilliana.
"Come on everyone. We need to patch up these wounds." Maria says as we walk toward the car.
Once we're all in, Maria grabs the first aid kit. Band aids for everyone! She hands me some gauze to put over my stab wound which hurts quite a bit, but I don't let it show.
"Thanks Stark. Thanks Maria." I say.
"You're welcome." Tony replies.
"No problem." Maria smiles.
"So, can we have a take two after everyone heals?" I ask.
"Sure. We never actually got to eat anything." Carol chuckles.
Everyone but Tony and Lillia get a laugh out of that.
Half an hour later...
"Friday, can you call Strange to the med bay?" Tony asks.
"He has been notified. Should I call anyone else to the med bay?"
"No thanks Friday."
"He- WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?! I thought that this was 'girls night' not 'get yourself beat up' night!" Strange shouts as we walk into the med bay.
"Ha ha. Very funny. Can we please get this fixed up? I'm actively bleeding here." I say.
"Shoot, sorry!" Strange shouts. "You're going to need stitches. Sorry Shadow."
Natasha shoots him a annoyed glare. I'm assuming that's because he called me Shadow but he doesn't know.
"First, I hate needles but if it makes me heal faster. Second, it's not Shadow anymore. That name was given to me by bullies and I don't like it. I'm Alina. Or Lina, take your pick." I say. "Hey Friday?"
"What can I do for you, Alina?"
"See? Even the AI knows that I'm Alina. Anyways, is there a way to send a group text on my bracelet? I don't really want people calling me Shadow. Nat, I'm fine with you calling me Little Shadow. It's cute. People can call me the Blue Shadow, but never just Shadow."
"Who should I put in the group chat?" Friday asks.
"Everyone."
"Contacts added. What would you like to say?"
"Hey everyone! It's Shadow. Don't worry, I'm not in danger or dying or anything like that. I wanted to say that I'm Alina now. Not Shadow. Bullies in my neighborhood called me Shadow because it was like I was never seen. They beat me up and called me names, one of them being Shadow. I'm Alina. The Blue Shadow. If someone other than Nat calls me Little Shadow, they will get punched. Again, not in danger or dying or anything like that. Not right now at least. Bye!"
"Sent. Anything else?"
"No, I think I'm good Friday. Thanks!"
"No problem!"
"Ok, can we get Lillia into a containment cell? I don't want to have to drag her around everywhere but if I leave her here, she'll escape and potentially kill someone." I say.
"Friday, can we get a couple of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in here?" Stark asks.
"On their way, boss." Friday chimes.
"All done. You'll get these out when the skin heals." Strange says as he finishes the stitches.
"Thanks."
