Pietro stays. How can he go back, with Gwen PASSED OUT? He can’t risk anyone finding out who she is, and he makes sure they know that whenever they try to get rid of her mask past her mouth. He WON’T let her identity become known when she doesn’t want it to be. Steve understands too, in the rushed message that he sends the man, and tells him that he and the rest of the AVENGERS will be there too, when they’re able to. UNFORTUNATELY for all of them, they don’t know when that will be – but he keeps hope. If needed, he is able to move quickly to get back to them, but the action is never requested and he’s left to stay by Gwen’s side as much as he’s allowed to. It’s only hours later, when they’ve made sure there’s no INTERNAL damage that needs to be operated on that they are able to patch her back together, and Pietro can’t watch. It’s too familiar and the thought makes him numb – but this isn’t about him, he reminds himself as he sits in the chair beside her bed, keeps the curtains drawn around them and waits.
After a LONG couple of hours of being unconscious, Gwen’s eyes slowly opened again. It took a few moments before the realization even sunk in that she was currently sitting in a hospital room. A sigh of relief escaped from her lips once she realized her mask was still hiding her identity, the blonde deciding to take it off for now. Once a doctor or nurse entered the room--- it went back on, but for now she could take a break from wearing it. One of her hands then slowly reached out, pulling the curtain aside, blue irises widening slightly when she saw Pietro sitting on the the other side. ❝ Pietro--- hey. ❞ It didn’t take long for her lips to curl into a small smile now, ❝ How long was I out for? Is the team okay? --- Did you... stay here the entire time?? ❞ Gwen didn’t mean to overwhelm him with all these questions, but she couldn’t help herself. She mostly wanted to know if the team was SAFE, but there was another part of her that was still curious to know if he’d actually stayed by her side the entire time.
