Summary! You got hurt because of them, to taking a hit or in the crossfire of a fight. It's only fitting they try to push you out so that you don't get hurt, but what sucks is that your determination is stronger, much more stubborn.
BATMAN
His heart went a mile a minute when you got hurt, blood splattered on the floor.
Bleeding from your stomach, you doubled over in pain
Bruce's own emotions went out of whack at the sight
After everything that's happened, he can't let you get hurt anymore
___
Your eyes flickered open to a beeping sound. A heart monitor next to the bed where you were lying in.
You blinked and then found the blurry image of a huge figure across from you. Blinking a few more times you found Bruce with heavy bags under his eyes.
"Bruce...?" You mumbled.
His eyes were shook as they looked at you. They were full of tears.
"You're okay..." He came over and sat in the chair, giant hands grabbing yours. "You...You don't hate me, do you?"
You blinked in surprise, "What do you mean? Are you referring to like Ozzie and Harvey?"
Biting down on the inside of your cheek for a moment, "You know none of that was your fault. It was Bane who hurt them, not you, and you were in Ark M, Bruce. There was no way you could stop it from happening. Same with Waylon."
Bruce stayed silent for a moment. Worry set deep in your heart as you watched him contemplate his next few words. You brushed his hair from his face to see the red puffiness around his eyes.
"Bruce-"
"I want you to move out of Gotham, somewhere else, anywhere else but here. So you won't get hurt." He got up to get going, "I'm gonna call in a friend to take you-"
"Bruce! What the hell are you saying?!" An aching feel surfaced in your chest, "I can't just leave you-"
"Yes, you can, and you will." Bruce refused to look at you at all. There was hoarseness to his voice. He felt pitiful; his voice was. Shaking at what he was saying to you.
A fact he wouldn't see you again.
"You can't just make that decision for me, Bruce! I made my choice in betting hit! This is my injury from my decision to help and protect you!"
"Don't be stupid-"
"The others made their choice! They wanted to know even after you refused so many times! You and they didn't ask for Bane to hurt them! They didn't willingly put themselves in enemy fire to protect you! I did because I wanted to!"
You doubled over at the pain in your stomach. Bruce's brows raised, eyes full of fear.
"Let me help, otherwise your gonna die, Bruce." So desperate looking at him. Furrowed brows deep in desperation. "Believe me I think you'll need me, us more than what you believe."
Bruce was at a loss of words. "You..."
"Like I told you that night...stay alive for me, and if I stay you'll be less reckless. Just let me stay, Bruce." Tears bellied themselves out of your eyes. Soft sobs from your lips.
"Don't make me leave, Bruce."
He came over and sat on the bed. His giant form dwarfing you. You clung to him, embracing him so very tightly.
"I'm sorry..." Guilt was buried itself into his chest. Could he let you leave when you were so desperate to stay. For now he'd let you stay.
Until then, he'll defend you, keep his life safe until ge finally gets you to a safe place, hopefully when you give up and leave.
WONDER WOMAN
Diana was beside herself
While occupied you were hurt after that exchange with the suicide squad
You were bleeding and burned.
So terrified to see this happen to you, almost watching death take you away from her.
____
She held your hand as you awoke from unconsciousness. Her blue hues full of tears when looking at your body that was bandaged with gauze and stitches.
Diana was so used to seeing you do these things on her and others. Diana wasn't at all use to herself healing you.
"Diana..." A whisper from your lips came. Eyes dull. Diana couldn't believe her mind and what it was thinking, but for a time, you needed to be gone.
You'd be able to heal easier.
"It's good to see you awake." She brushed your temple with her fingers. "Stay down. Keep there for now."
Your fingers wanted to cling to her. Diana shushed you with a sad sweet smile. Her heart ached deeply on her next words.
"[ ], I need to tell you something." Diana relayed to you, holding your hand gentle. Fingers brushing over your bandages softly. Her eyes centered on the small burn along your shoulder.
"What is it?" Your voice cracked. It was hoarse and dry. Diana huffed and let you have a drink of water.
"I want you to leave this fortress for a while. Steve is to leave soon and this will be the best time for you to heal and be safe."
Your eyes widened in shock. You shook your head, small tinge of pain in your neck from the movement. "No-"
"No, save your voice."
"I'm not going anywhere!" You refused to listen to her words. Diana huffed at you. Already you were pulling at your bandages. "I want to stay here!"
"You need to heal. You are going with Steve so you can heal." Diana gestured to your entire body.
"Look at yourself my dear. Burned minimally but there are injuries that'll leave scars. I'm afraid I won't use magic on you in case it hurts you."
Your eyes narrowed, "None of this was your fault. I hope you know that. It's my fault for not running fast enough. I was trying to help everyone else and I got hurt because of it. But I wanted to."
It was the same determination in your eyes that she had. Diana remembered her words when speaking to Steve about the labyrinth. The same notion that she would be okay no matter the circumstances.
"I made my bed and I'm laying in it. Diana, I'll be fine here. Trust me, I'm a tough cookie, and I'm willing to take your unconventional methods." You smiled big. It felt disturbing with all the bandages and burns on you, laying in this bed injured.
"Maybe even that witch at the party can help. Something tells me she's good."
Diana huffed. A smile morphed on her lips. "I believe I've left an impression on you."
"Never give up Diana. This is nothing, and i want to stay." You giggled as she pressed a kiss to your head.
"After all, who's gonna patch you and the others up the way I can?"
SUPERMAN
The parasite was able to get you but there was injuries on you from its destruction in Metropolis
He saved everyone that day but you still ended up getting hurt
He can't handle this. Is there a way to send you with you getting hurt.
Kal isn't sure how to keep you safe.
____
Kal was watching over you like a hawk. His ears keeping an eye on your heartbeat, making sure it never went away.
Even after putting on the cot on the floor he still felt the weight on you in his arms despite his strength. Kal couldn't get his eyes off you.
You needed to leave Metropolis, or something like that. How can he keep you safe? Kal wasn't sure in any slightest.
Speak of the devil. You awoke from your slumber. Eye sleepy and blurry looking up into Kal's very blue hues.
Voice hoarse calling out for him.
"You're okay..." His voice was strained, like then. That familiar frown his face was deeply upsetting. To solve it you cupped a hand onto the side of his face.
"What's got you so upset. I'm okay, that monster didn't do so much damage." Your reassurance didn't help the expression on his face. Your brows furrowed at sight.
Kal breathed in low and rough. Blue eyes narrowed and layered over with regret.
"I want you to leave Metropolis."
"Huh?"
"I can take you somewhere else. Safer than here. Somewhere and with someone that can protect you. Like that witch of the west Hawkman told me about. She can help you-"
You placed a finger to his lips, brows furrowed deep and concerned. "Wait. You can't make that decision for me."
Kal made a face.
"Don't act like that with me Mister! You may be all powerful, like a god, but i want to stay here despite the danger. Don't you use your head? The same happened with Lois and Jimmy!"
Kal shook his head, heart aching so hard against his chest. Heartbeat in his ears. "That's different!"
"No its not! And you know it! It's not your fault that the parasite monster came! It's on me to keep care of myself while you were figuring out what to do! None of this is your fault! I can take care of myself, Kal!"
You took his hands into yours linking fingers. A soft smile on your lips looking into his own blue hues.
"You'll always save me, i feel safe with you, Kal. Just like Lois said. You're Superman, a man that can definitely save everyone if you try hard enough. Don't bother what that Hawkman said."
Kal defaulted to a still body before hugging you. You giggled against his suit, clinging just as tight.
"Just promise me you'll be careful." Kal murmured, his voice sounding so somber, like before.
