Waking Up
Natasha tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt like they were made of lead instead of skin. She managed to open them for a second before they fell close again. Another try and this time they remained opened for three seconds. Yet another try and she managed to keep them open for longer.

She groaned. The last things she remembered were Tony hoisting her over his shoulder and her laughing. Then pain, heat and blackness. What the hell happened? Where was she? Where was Tony?

Her eyes opened again and she blinked a few times. The brightness hurt a little and everything was a little out of focus and blurry. She blinked a few more times.

	"He's still in isolation an' he's gettin' the best care on the planet. I chased the kids out again today so yer stuck with me for another couple of hours." He slipped his hand around hers, mostly to ground her. "It was car bomb. You an' Stark were hurt. Been a week or so." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What's wrong with him?" Her heart was in her throat. Please, not Tony. Not now. A whole week she had been unconscious. A week of not being there for the kids...the kids. "Where are the kids? Are they okay?" She started to sit up again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Kids are fine." He put a hand on her shoulder and let the weight keep her down. "Mikey's watchin' out for them, an' I'm here. If ya tell me I'm not good enough for the job, I'll drug ya myself."

Kidding. Mostly. They had a dangerous life. Contingency plans were already in motion.

His hand didn't move as he went down the laundry list of injuries Stark sustained. He recited the list in a even, matter of fact voice, ending with, "he's critical but stable, an' nobody but the staff is allowed in yet. The possibility of infection is real. Soon as the doc gets here to check you out, they'll tell ya about more about it."

	Natasha squeezed his hand as he went down the list of Tony's injuries. Tears welled up in her eyes and she squeezed them shut, but the tears rolled down her cheeks. "Did they give a prognosis?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Right now they're sayin' months for recovery, but they are talkin' recovery. He tried to save ya, Tasha. Fury said he took the worst of it, so he'll take the longest." A tissue was taken from the box at bedside to dry her tears.

"In the meantime, the kids have been kept close an' protected when they're not here. Everybody's on alert until Fury finds out who did it an' why. Potts an' Rhodes are handlin' the company, an' Rogers is takin' care of the Avengers."

	"Damn fool man. He doesn't have a healing factor," she said with no heat behind her words. "Thanks," she said as he wiped her tears away. "Have there been any attacks on the kids?" He said they were fine, but he wouldn't mention if someone tried to do something. "Does Fury have any leads?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-07-05 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Whatever Fury's got, he's not talkin' about yet." Logan pulled the chair back up to her bedside and sat down. He'd move it when the staff came in. "He tried callin' Anya, but she an' the others were attacked on that base. They're open season out there, Tash. It's not safe. They're all in the city now until further notice."

	"Steve will deal with them," she said. The kids weren't any safer in the mansion than they were at the Hydrobase. If an enemy was going to attack, nothing would stop them no matter where they were. "I want to see Tony." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Rogers is dealin' with them. It was Temujin an' some group that attacked before. They're all back in the city where back up is easier to find."

Now for the arguing. "You can when the doctor says you can get out of bed, an' then it's the observation window. Anya an' James have been campin' out in front of it when they're not waitin' to see you or takin' care of other duties."

"Steve's good at riding herd on the kids," she said as she started to sit up again. Hearing Termujin's name put some energy and determination back into her. She knew the kids wouldn't be in the mansion long. Not after getting a taste of independence and freedom from being under the adults' eyes.

"I'm just sore," she said as she started to remove the IV. "Need to move."

	His hand closed over hers fast. "Dammit, Tash, let the doctor check you out first. Let them have somethin' to tell yer kids." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It would be better for the kids to see me up and moving," she said as she wiggled her hand under his and got the IV out of her hand. She HAD to see Tony. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Short of doing real damage to her, there wasn't a whole lot he could do. "It'd be better for them to see ya followin' doctor's orders so yer not bitchin' at them when they follow yer example." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Stop using logic," Natasha said as she swung her legs over to the side of the bed. Her skin was a bright red as if she had a sunburn. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ya know what? When the doc wants to drug you an' make you rest longer, I'm gonna hold ya down for the shot." He moved to support her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-07-05 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	She chuckled and leaned on him for support. "I can still take on a doctor in this state," she said as she took a tentative step. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-07-05 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Not with me holdin' ya down." He'd do it, too. For the kids' sakes first, then Tasha's. She knew whose interests he'd protect. "You relapse an' I'll let all the kids have a turn at chewin' you out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-07-05 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	"I won't relapse unless you're planning on throwing me in a fire or try to blow me up," she said as she took a few steps. She was weak, but she could move. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-07-05 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Not at the top of the list," he said dryly. He waited for her to move at her own pace, ready to catch. "I'll keep it in mind for the next time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-07-05 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	She laughed and leaned into him as she crossed the room to the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)
