Infirmary Visit (Jan 1st - AM) Tag Thor

[st_hotflashes]

The first thing that hit Liz when she started to wake up was the sudden wave of nausea she felt. Her skin was clammy and she shifted a little in a bed she did not recognize. She made a small inaudible sound as she came more and more to consciousness.

Her eyes fluttered open and she noticed the familiar ceiling of the infirmary. How did she get here? Her memory was a bit fuzzy as she was still slowly walking up. In a moment it seemed as if everything came rushing at her - Mr. Stark, Peter, the future.

Liz sat up like a rocket and then immediately regretted it, reaching for her forehead as she slumped forehead. She felt terrible.

Thor offers her a sympathetic smile and tries not to think about how, however indirectly, he is the cause of Liz's suffering.

"I believe Tony talked to him last night," Thor says, because it sounds like something Liz needs to hear. "I'm not sure how he feels this morning."

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to talk... I need to talk to him. He can't just - just shoulder this on his own. We're -" She paused. Being told this relationship they had was temporary or 'part of her journey of love' from so many adults made Liz hesitant. She glanced at the door.


"I want to be there for him." She'd take his place in a heartbeat and Liz was already thinking about how that might be possible.

"Then go be there for him," Thor says, as if this is a simple matter. "But only after you are feeling better."

She should have been there for him a week ago. It felt like she needed to make up for lost time somehow.

"I'm fine... It's just a cold." Probably. She stood up a little straighter to try and convince Thor how fine she was.

Thor stands, then scratches his palms on the front of his pants.

"Good luck, Liz."

Liz felt the need to hug him, but she was worried he'd feel how hot she was, realize she had a fever, and force her to stay. So she sent him a warm, though small smile instead.

"Thank you..."

And now she just needed to find Peter and not throw up at the same time. Simple as pie.
