July 5, 2023 at 1:12 pm #149629My characters must think I’m out to get them. I’m not. I just like throwing things at them and seeing how they’ll react.

I have something for Day 1!!!! (since I missed it and had an idea for it đ)
Sooo, from the 2nd fanfic in my 5-fanfic Marvel series…here we areeeee!!!!!!!
WARNING: A bit of Angst up ahead
Day 1: Fever
His head still burned like fire.
Steve adjusted the cloth on his best friendâs forehead.
Bruce adjusted the glasses on his face, studying the clipboard of notes he had. He flipped one of the pages over and reclipped it. âIt seems as though Bucky has an infection from a fairly large injury.â
âWhere is it?â
âIn his shoulder area, partially in between his flesh and metal. Itâs been there for some time now, so itâs surprising how he couldnât have mentioned it before now.â
Steve bit his lip, turning his attention back to his friend, who slept, albeit fitfully, in bed.
Bucky had been a little off the past few daysâŚSteve should have guessed something was wrong.
But they were all too busy tracking down Viola to really pay attention.
It was all his fault.
None of them even realizedâŚuntil Buckyâs eyes became glassy, and he passed out in the middle of a meeting. Then everyone noticed.
But he should have noticed sooner.
âHis fever still wonât go down, even after taking medication. The cloth has helped a little, but barely, and if his fever doesnât go downâŚit could be dangerous.â
âWhat else can we do, Bruce? What else helps lower a fever?â
âKeeping him cooled down by using other cloths or sponges could help, and keeping him in a cool room, which this room is fairly cool. Things like that can help, and most importantly, he needs to stay hydratedâŚalways.â
âAnd the infection? What do we do about that?â
âHeâll need antibiotics for the bacteria, and as for the woundâŚwell,â Bruce bit his lip, âif it doesnât heal itself, it may need to be stitched closed.â
Steve raised an eyebrow. âWonât it heal on its own?â
âDepends on how deep it went, SteveâŚIâm still unsure exactly how far it went into Buckyâs body, but I know it at least reached the muscle.â
The door creaked open. âHowâs he doing?â
Bruce turned to Tony with a small, faint smile. âWellâŚwe just found out that heâs battling an infection from a wound he must have gotten from our battle with Alec and Vlad several days ago.â
Tony let out a quiet curse beneath his breath. He stepped into the room and softly closed the door behind him. âHow long are we looking at for recovery?â
âA while, Tony, why?â
Steve nodded in agreement with Bruce. âYeah, why are you asking, Tony?â
âWell, Iâm pretty sure Viola could find out where we are, and-â
âHave we found Viola, Tony?â
âHang on, Capsicle. The answer is no, we havenât found Viola. But we need to be careful, SteveâŚshe could come at any minute.â
âI know, Tony,â Steve flipped over the cloth on Buckyâs forehead, âbut Buckyâs more important right nowâŚI have to make sure heâs okay.â
âYou going to need any help, Bruce?â
Bruce shook his head, carefully laying down his clipboard on a nearby table. âNot at this minute, Tony, no. We need to bring his fever down for now, keep him hydrated, and watch to see if his wound heals up on its own. If it doesnâtâŚâ
Tony nodded, understanding where Bruce was heading. âItâll need to be stitched closed. Got it. Capsicle, whenâs the last time you slept?â
âUh,â Steve blinked, âyesterday, why?â
âYou havenât slept in 24 hours? Steve, thatâs unhealthyâŚâ
âBruce is right, Cap.â
âYou do it all the time, Tony.â
âI do not. I just do it most of the time. Either way, you need to sleep, Steve. Bruce can take care of Bucky, so why donât you go take a nap? Come on now,â Tony grabbed his arm, âgo sleep for a while.â
Steve pulled his arm away and glared at the billionaire. âDonât tell me what to do.â He faced Bruce and slowly nodded. âOkayâŚIâll go sleep for a little while. But if Bucky wakes up, can you come and tell me? I want to talk to him and make sure heâs alright.â
Bruce smiled and nodded. âI will, SteveâŚgo get some sleep.â
Steve nodded and went to go do so.
But he had a feeling he still wouldnât sleep.
~*~
Heâd promised Bruce heâd stay to keep him company, and then Bruce decided to leave Tony in the room alone.
Go figure.
Tony sighed and sank into the chair that sat a couple feet away from the bed Bucky slept onâŚthe only bed in the room, come to think of it.
They needed a better medical spaceâŚbut this was what they had and what they had to learn to work with.
But Tony could make a much better infirmary if they had a permanent place to stay.
But they didnât have a permanent place, at least not yet, and theyâd have to make do with what they had.
But why did he have to be left to watch Bucky?
Didnât Bruce know he had other things to do?
Why did he have to watch the guy who didnât like him? Well, Tony didnât like Bucky eitherâŚthe feeling was mutual between them.
Bucky mumbled something Tony didnât quite discern. But it was probably nothing.
Tony picked up a book Bruce had left on the end table beside the chair he sat in and opened it, beginning to read.
Bucky stirred and awoke, a gasp escaping his lips, mixed with words in a language Tony didnât understand yet knew what it was. Russian.
Tony set the book aside, stood, and went to stand over Bucky.
More words tumbled from Buckyâs lips.
Tony gently grabbed his wrists. âMetalhead, hey, chill. Itâs me, Tony. Youâre in the mansion I rented in Germany, remember? Youâre sick from an infection from a wound in your shoulder, chest area.â
Bucky blinked several times, his blue eyes still bloodshot and glassy from a raging fever. ââŚTonyâŚ?â
âThere you go. See, youâre fine. Youâre safe.â
âWhereâs Steve?â
âWent to go take a napâŚhe really needed one. Bruce left, so now itâs just me in here.â
Bucky slowly nodded, but he still seemed a bit unaware of what was going on around him. ââŚI donât remember what happenedâŚâ
âYou passed out in the middle of the meeting about Viola, remember? Since then, youâve been in here, where Bruce has been treating you. He said youâve had that injury for probably daysâŚyet didnât tell anyone.â
Bucky looked away, and Tony knew that he had hidden the injuryâŚmaybe for even longer than Bruce had expected.
âMaybe you should have told someone sooner.â
âAnd why would you care?â Bucky retorted.
âIâm not that cold hearted, Barnes. Itâs not like Iâd want you to live with a painful injury and an infection the rest of your life.â
âYou tried to kill me.â
âTrue,â Tony nodded, âbut you know why I tried to do thatâŚdo you really blame me?â
Bucky chewed his bottom lip and slowly shook his head. âNo.â
âAnd still, wasnât that in the past? Listen, I know Steve wants you better, and so I want you better too, alright? Besides, donât you want to stop Viola?â
Bucky nodded.
Tony grinned. âExactly. So, you need to get better. Your wound should heal on its ownâŚbut if notâŚâ
Bucky winced. âI donât want it to get stitched.â
âIâm not saying it will happen, Bucky, Iâm just saying it might. Donât worry, weâll make sure youâre unconscious when it happens. Do you just not want to have any stitches to deal with or something?â
âItâsâŚitâs not that.â
Tony raised an eyebrow. âThen what is it?â
Bucky shrugged and shivered. âJustâŚjust donât like needlesâŚthatâs all.â
Of course, Tony had heard of people that were scared of or just hated needlesâŚbut he was pretty sure there wasnât much Bucky was afraid ofâŚor at least it seemed that way.
The door opened. âBuck? Youâre awake.â
Tony turned, just as Steve entered the room, Ryo on his hip with a toy dinosaur in hand.
Ryoâs seemed to stretch from one ear to the other. âBucky!â
Bucky smiled, but it seemed forcedâŚand it certainly looked like it had been hard for him to muster the strength to even smile. âHey RyoâŚhow you doing, kiddo?â
Steve glanced at Ryo, then Bucky, then back again.
Tony walked over to Steve, holding out his arms. âHere, Iâll take the kid.â
Ryo giggled and reached for him. âStank!â
Oh, was he ever going to get that to stop?
Tony took Ryo into his arms, carefully setting him on his hip, wrapping his arms around the two-year-old to keep him steady.
Tony carried Ryo out the door and closed the door behind him.
He wanted to still be furious at BuckyâŚstill partially wanted to hate him for killing his parents.
But Tonyâs anger was slowly dissipatingâŚand heâd slowly begun to realizeâŚhadnât he done as much evil has Bucky had?
Weapons.
Ultron.
All kinds of things that had made the world that much more dangerous.
So wasnât Tony guilty too?
What ifâŚTony had been wrong all along?

I loveeeeee it
not going to lie there was a moment where I laughed because Tony said he didn’t wish for Bucky to be sick, and Bucky is like “You tried to kill me,”
but in the same way, it was also a serious scene too but I loved it
and it was major angst (which I like)
Can we take a second to say that one of Tony’s biggest flaws is the fact that he’s super hypocritical, like he get’s so mad at Bucky for killing his parents
yet his bomb killed Pietro’s and Wanda’s parents
not to mention Ultron and stuff
XD
Do me a favorâŚ. Tell Cress I meant it

and poor Bucky… đ˘

#ProtectSebJuly 6, 2023 at 7:00 pm #149900@freedomwriter76 You’re making me feel better about writing these…..
For some reason getting a fever due to wound infection is a more interesting story to me than just randomly catching something……
Ugh that makes me sound so cruel lolWhere'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
