Well, at least they were letting him sit up today. His parents had stepped out for coffee, which left Steve watching TV.

Justin Rhodes heard about Steve being in the hospital a little later than most, but he came to see him as quickly as he could. The man saved his life not long ago, and Justin felt a little bad that he wasn't able to return the favor.

Besides, Anya and Toni were probably both upset about this, so he wanted to check on them, too.

Justin knocks on the door and peeks in.

"Hey man. How are you?" he asks.

	"Oh, hey, dude," Steve said, turning the volume down on the tv. "Too many drugs to be in pain, but already going stir crazy," he admitted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You know I know where you're coming from, man. Do you need anything?" Justin asks. It wasn't long ago their positions were reversed, and Justin knew how easy it was to go crazy having people watching over you.

At least Steve knew everyone who came to see him.

"I heard a little about what happened. It's pretty rough, but if you want, I can take a look at some of your gear soon and make some upgrades. I mean, if Anya hasn't already jumped on that." he says.

	"I'd ask you to get me out of here," Steve said, "but somehow I don't think that's a good idea. More reading material, maybe." He nodded. "I think she's got a jump on it, but a second opinion couldn't hurt. But it's still gotta be light enough for acrobatics and martial arts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We can definitely help with that, man. Just glad to see you're okay. I'll make sure you get more magazines while we're at it, too." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks, man," he replied. "Streets pretty quiet out there? 'rents won't let me watch the news." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, they're not. Things are getting worse. It's like the gangsters have declared open season on each other and anyone between them." Justin says. "You shouldn't worry about that, though. People are hitting the streets to fix things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve grimaced. "Shit," he breathed, wincing slightly, from having tensed up like that. "Sounds like... sounds like I got caught in the prelude to hell breaking loose." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-06-24 12:26 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, it does. But again, don't worry; people are hitting the streets to bring back order. If things get more out of hand, more people are going to step in." he says. "Just don't go rushing back into action, man. Get better. The team will be waiting on you." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	After classes were done for the day Anya suited up and rocketed toward New York. It didn't take her long to reach Avengers Mansion. She left as soon as she arrived and made one stop on the way to the hospital. She opened his door and peeked around it to see if he was awake. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Steve looked up from his magazine when he saw the door open. A smile broke out across his face. "Hey there, Gorgeous." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-06-25 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	Anya smiled brightly. "Hey Handsome," she said as she entered the room. Yes, there were goodies in her hands. "I come bearing gifts." She held the brown paper bag up. She walked over to the side of the bed and kissed him. "How are you feeling? Did they say when you will be released? Or should I help you stage a breakout?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're way too good to me," Steve said, after returning the kiss. He winced, but tried to cover it up. "Little better, but that might just be the drugs talking." "The said maybe the end of next week, if things are looking good," he said. "Supposed to be getting me up tomorrow, see how I do with my legs back under me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not even close," she said as she placed the bad on the small side table. She began to remove the items from it. "You'll do fine and you'll be out of here in no time," she assured him. A burger, fries and a chocolate milkshake were pulled out and placed on the table in front of him. "I know how bad hospital food is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve's eyes lit up at the sight of the food and milkshake. "You, Gorgeous, are a life saver." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Big Nick's is a requirement for people in the hospital." Anya pulled an electronic device out of her pocket. "And the newest hand held game system with all the games you could want." She offered it to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...How in the heck did you get a 3DS? These aren't supposed to hit the market for months?" Steve asked, as he took it from her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's a visitor at the front gate asking to see 'the blond boy who got shot up but didn't die'. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-06-25 04:40 pm UTC (link)
	A bit concerned, perhaps, but the only people who would even know he was here were either family, friends, or the guys who brought him in. So Steve's okay with visitors. Even from a bed, he figures he could still take anyone he had to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	~~Jack~~ Guardian hurries his way in as directed, cautiously entering the room where Steve is recuperating. "Umm... hello." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-06-25 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	"I... know you?" Steve asked, cautiously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Umm... no, probably not. You were busy losing most of your blood when I was around last." He tries to explain. "I was there when you got shot." He tries to stand up straight. "I'm Guardian." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-06-25 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Guardian?" Steve said. He didn't recognize the name. "I kinda... sorta remember some Spider-Man looking guy," he admitted. "But either way, the way I hear it, you saved my ass." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Always with the Spider-Man. "Well, the EMT's and the doctors did that. I just webbed up some bad guys is all." He frowns, the contours of his mask wrinkling. "I really don't like guns." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve chuckled mirthlessly. "You and me both." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
