Author: CuriousJorgi

Beta: none (sorry it's un-beta)

Rating: K+ this chapter, future M to be safe

Pairings: Steve/Tony (eventually), maybe more

Summary: Tony needs physical therapy and Steve has to help him. ( I am bad with summaries)

Warnings: OOC this chapter

Disclaimer: I don't own the Avengers characters, Marvel does. I am not writing for profit, just for fun!

Author's Note: First, yes I know the title has the word "patients" instead of "patience," that is on purpose since the story is about physical therapy and Tony is a patient. It is to be a play on words =^_^= Second, this is based on the movie-verse because it has been many years since I have read a Marvel comic, and I did not have many Avengers comics growing up. I know characters will be OCC, especially in future chapters, and I apologize if that offends you. I go were my muse takes me. Reviews are most welcome! Also anything between ** means inner monologue, #### is for change of scene, and italic text means flashback. Thank you for reading.

Patients is a Virtue

Chapter 1

She walked down the hall, still wondering where she was and why she was here. It felt like the old bomber hanger that had been turned into offices on the base back home, only way more high tech. *And this guy screams soldier*, she thought, *or at least fed* Finally after what seemed like the fifteenth access code was enter, she was asked to sit in a conference room. The door reopened to a tall man with an eye patch. *Is it September 19? Am I missing international talk like a pirate day, wait that is talk like not dress like.*

"Thank you for coming to SHEILD headquarters. I am Directory Fury, and I could use your help with one of my team members," the gentleman's smooth baritone voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Why do you need my help? I'm just an average citizen, and no offense this place screams top secret feds."

Fury chuckled. "That is because it is. Dr. Westcliff, I need your expertise treating a team member."

"But, I work with pediatrics."

"Exactly! Which means you have patience, and I need patience; however, you can also be firm and strict to get results. I need that too. This team member exemplifies spoiled brat, to be blunt. That is why I need you. You are the best in your field."

"I must say I am intrigued," her silver grey eyes sparkled mischievously. "I won't say yes or no until I've evaluated the patient, if that is okay?"

"Fine. You will be compensated for the eval and if you agree the treatments." Fury actually smiled. "This way to the gym and the patient. By the way, you will have everything you could possibly need or want in your state of the art gym and rehab facility."

*I bet from the looks of this place*

Again she was lead down numerous hallways and possibly further underground. Finally, after what felt like 20 minutes, they arrived at the gym, which held an attractive and well dressed red-haired woman in an expensive looking business suit and a handsome brunette man in a Black Sabbath t-shirt and expensive jeans. *OMG is that . . . .*

"Dr. Westcliff, meet your patient, Tony Stark," Fury said with a smirk.

TBC?

I know it is short, but I wanted reviews before I continued to see if people would like more. Please review, thanks!
