Bethany's P.O.V

Everyone was pushed out of the little room as Bruce and a few doctors and nurses checked Deanna over. A smile was spread across everyone's lips and the atmosphere was just full of relief and happiness. Only ten minuets ago I had been arguing with the director to keep her alive a little longer.

Talking of the director he had strolled off down the corridor after we had been pushed out but as he disappeared Jamelah appeared. "I heard she was awake." The young inter said quickly. I nodded with a goofy grin.

"Yeah she's awake, Bruce and that are just checking her over now." I replied.

"That's great, we aren't a member down. I don't think you all would have liked to plan a funeral." She joked lightly, causing us all to chuckle.

"No, no funerals need arranging any time soon." Bruce said as he walked out of Deanna's room, a smile on his face. "She's awake and pretty much stable,but we will need to keep an eye on her."

"Can we now please see her?" I begged.

"Of course but she can't talk yet, she'll need speech therapy after the wound is completely healed and she will most likely need to learn to walk again." Bruce informed us as the nurses left the room. We all nodded and walked in. Deanna was sitting up slightly, her eyes closed once again.

Once Thor closed the door her eyelids fluttered back open. A small, lopsided smile made its way onto her lips. She raised her right hand slightly, attempting to wave. "Hey De." I greeted, walking over to her and sitting on the bed on her right side. Her hand waved again.

We all looked at each other, not knowing what to say. We couldn't ask her how she was feeling, the answer would obviously be something like 'shit'. The others crowed around and one by one we began filling her in on everything she missed. One of which happened to be the date she helped Clint set up for him and Natasha.

Once we were all finished Deanna had tears in her eyes. Suddenly her blue/green/grey orbs lit up and she tapped her right leg quickly. Everyone frowned but then Clint and Natasha chuckled. "What's she doing?" Tony asked, expression all our confusion. Jamelah nodded slightly.

"Morse code." She said with a chuckled "Well played Agent." Deanna smiled and tapped something out. "You're very welcome. Well I've gotta get back to duty, I'll speak to you all soon." With that the young inter left, leaving it just the team for the first time in forever.

"What is this morse code you speak of?" Thor questioned as Deanna and Clint had a chat through Morse code.

"It's a series of dots and dashes that form words." Nat explained, gesturing to the two people tapping their fingers on the table in between them rapidly. "It's a skill most assassins learn, so no one can understand their plans and conversations unless they too know morse code."

"Then why does De know it?" I asked.

"Yeah, how come she can do morse code and non of us can besides you and Clint?" Steve asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Because in case you guys have forgotten De is being trained by two assassins." Clint spoke up, looking say from a smiling Deanna. "But to be fair I taught her after training, she wanted to learn because I would often table out my words as I spoke them in morse code, force of habit."

We all nodded and continued talking to Deanna until a nurse shoved us all, including Bruce, put so Deanna could rest. I knew I'd rest better tonight too. She was finally awake so we didn't have to worry, and she was in the hands of some of the best doctors around.
