#ANDROID Questions For Mock Test

[your-nanas-house]

She could be my "woman"

◇ Pairing: Robert Fisher X fem!Reader/ (future Robert Fischer X android!Reader)

◇ Warnings: angst, androids, security, fear, business, robots as "slaves"

◇ Summary: Robert fears for his safety and tries his luck with Y/n's business.

◇ Note: Sorry for the mistakes and the English. FINALLY wrote the first part of the fic I mentioned months ago!

Robert chuckled at that.

"What is this, a movie?" he mocked, trying to lighten the mood, his light eyes staring at the old woman in front of him as if she was nuts.

He called her that day for a specific reason... his security and now she was talking about some weird futuristic stuff.

"I thought we were talking about a security system, not personal assistants!" He reminded her slightly annoyed by the situation.

When he didn't receive a response, he tried again with a softer tone this time.

"I can see why your granddaughter would need someone to try this out," he started, rubbing his chin with his long fingers, "...But I can hardly be her test case.... I can't believe androids are that advanced."

The disbelief of the young man was understandable and the older woman got perfectly Robert's point of view but was still a bit offended by the lack of trust in her... after all the years she had worked with his father.

"You're underestimating my granddaughter, dear. I tested them out as well...they do anything and if someone tries to enter your dreams they come inside as well working as your bodyguard there too" she informed him with a soft nod.

Security and assistance, Robert thought not believing at a word.

He raised his eyebrow surprised by the informations but still with the feeling of being made fun of. "This has to be a joke," he said, shaking his head.

"Your granddaughter created androids that protect you even in your dreams? I've heard some insane things in my life but that tops the cake."

And as words of mockery left his mouth he couldn't help but imagining it happen to him... Having someone watching over him even in his most vulnerable moments... it wouldn't be so bad.

After a couple of minutes in silence the older woman spoke again, her shaking and wrinkly hands put a note on his rich desk

"Think about it, if you need more information just call my granddaughter, she will be able to explain everything to you."

It wasn't a bad idea after all.

Robert looked down at the card in his hand, sighing. He had hoped to convince the older wise woman to work with him as well, but this was a nice alternative.

And as soon as she left his office he grabbed his phone, he read the number and then dialed it.

He couldn't waste any precious time and luckily for him, he didn't have to wait much.

A female voice replied after just a couple of rings, introducing herself as 'Y/n Y/l/n' exactly as he expected. She sounded calm and young.. probably in her 20s, her tone made him feel at ease and it was quite charming even though a bit awkward.

"Good morning, miss. I'm Robert Fischer... I had a meeting with your grandmother today and she gave me your number. I'll put my hands forward and tell you that I don't really believe in all this, it seems excessive and not very functional to me but... I have nothing to lose so I'm willing to try, and even if it is a scam, I'm pretty sure I could deal with it very easily. If you know what I mean..." Robert informed her with a calm tone, his hand busy playing around with his pen as his face remained tilted and rested against the back of his chair... serious as his business mask.

It was business after all, he needed some kind of security around him and the guarantee of being 100% safe every day.

"But I would like to know more about this androids" he quickly added after not receiving an answer, his heart strangely beating fast in his chest and his hand sweated anxiously

"Oh, sure thing. I can do that, are there any specific questions? Or would you like to receive the policy first?" the voice replayed softly, echoing now in his empty office.

He could actually hear her moving around, probably working or getting ready for something in a rush... not that he cared though.

At the questions Robert sat up in his seat, his grip tightened around the pen as he thought quickly before dropping it on the desk and let his light blue eyes travel towards the phone.

"I want to know everything. Starting from how they work, what they can do, where they come from and most importantly... how protected I am with them watching over me" The business man listed while staring intently at the object as if it would make Y/n reply faster at everything.

There was a soft music in the background, he could hear it, even if a bit muffled, and his mind focused on it, snapping back just when her voice interrupted the melody with her owns

"Well first of all I won't tell you how I created them. I'm not stupid, am I? They can do anything you want them to, they come from my cellar" she informed with a soft chuckle after apologizing and explaining to him the reason of the background noises.

"You are 99,9% protected, they have the ability to watch over you whenever you need or don't need. Not in a creepy way of course. They have the ability to enter your dreams if someone else does, so that they can protect you.... They are also loyal to their owners and you can set the program you prefer. There are a lot of different androids... each one more adapt for a situation" she explained with a more focused and professional tone, her knowledge and passion for her creations showing just by the seriousness of her speech.

She made it sound pretty acceptable and intriguing, leaving Robert silent for a moment, still and lost in his thoughts as he took in the informations. He honestly wasn't expecting such a comprehensive answer from her.

"They sound like the perfect companions," the man said, making an attempt at joking before asking her other questions, his hands already turning on his laptop

"What kind of androids are there, where can I purchase them and what sort of program do you suggest should be installed in them?"

It really was catching his interest, even if he didn't really believe in all the progress the science was doing lately... but he still was willing to try.

"Well... They are like puppies, Mr. Fisher. Like pets, without need to care too much for them. And it's highly depends on your situation and what I have down here." She explained while probably pouring herself a cup of something.

A moment of silence and Robert hummed lost in thoughts again, surprised and amused by Y/n's analogy.

"I'm glad that I won't have to worry about them too much," he murmured, rubbing his chin "And I'll happily take a look at what you have available. My main concern is my dreams, so what do you suggest to deal with that?" He murmured out, leaning back to stare at the ceiling and glance at the phone... she wasn't answering anymore but he could feel that she was thinking intently.

Then... her harsh words of truth came out "Your voice sounds lonely, you are probably sitting in a rich office, playing with something in your hand while you talk to me— I want to try to give you my first invention" the young woman declared cheerfully, making sure he didn't took her analysis as an insult before starting to explain again.

"I'm pretty proud of her. And I will make sure to deliver everything as soon as the payment is done also I'm sending you the contract so that you know that whatever the android sees it will remain between you and them" the young woman quickly stated, ready to say goodbye and hang up.

It was convincing... enough to bewitch Robert and his business mind, which was now fully engaged, even though a part of him was still cautious.

He wasn't really sure about allowing someone else to intrude so deep in his personal space and in such a little time. "How do I know that the androids and their recordings will remain private? What if they witness something... embarrassing or something that should remain fully private?" The man asked lowly, tapping his fingers against the rich wood of his desk.. he couldn't and didn't want to afford a scandal.

"I make you sign the contract because of that. I have no intention to look through all the memory. I just delete everything when their work it's done" Y/n reassured him sweetly with a soft chuckle, giving her availability 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in case of questions or problems.

Robert considered it all in silence, weighing his options carefully. On one hand, he was still hesitant about sharing his space with these things.

But on the other hand, they would be guarding his dreams, which was exactly what he needed. And their "mother" seemed trustworthy enough to make him take things further.

"I want to see the contract first," he stated thoughfully, adding after a small break of suspance "If I like its terms, I'm ready to sign."

And she already did, everything was in his laptop now. So Robert checked his emails, finding the contract attached.

He opened the PDF with a single click and began reading, his eyes scanning each word for any potential loopholes or hidden meanings.

After a few minutes of reading, he let out a sigh and printed it out, signing it before scanning it and sending it back to her along with a brief message:

"I agree to the terms, please start the installation as soon as possible. RF"

Since their call had ended just a couple of minutes before he could have finished to read it all.

Afyer that, the proceedings began and the young woman asked him a couple of personal questions, plus an address before reporting to him the date and the hour of the delivery.

'To: Robert Fischer, NYC'

A-Café (Update #25) - Community Discussion

Good morning everyone! I know it's been a while since I've posted, but I'm finally back with another community update. In the first part, I'll be giving a brief overview of where we're at in terms of project progress. Then, in the second half, we'll discuss a new development in app accessibility.

Without further ado, let's begin!

1) Where are we at in the project currently?

A similar question was asked in the A-Café discord recently, so I figured I'd include my response here as well:

Right now we’re reworking the design of A-Café, both visually and architecturally. The initial planning and design phase of the project wasn’t done very thoroughly due to my inexperience, so now that I’m jumping back into things I want to ensure we have a solid prototype for usability testing. For us that means we’ve recently done/are doing a few things:

analyzing results from the old 2022 user survey (done)

discussing new ideas for features A-Café users might want, based on the 2022 user survey

reevaluating old ideas from the previous app design

making a new mock-up for usability testing

Once the mock-up is finished, I plan on doing internal testing first before asking for volunteer testers publicly (the process for which will be detailed in an upcoming community update).

2) Will A-Café be available for iOS and Android devices?

Yes! In fact, the first downloadable version of A-Café may no longer be so device-specific.

What do I mean by that? Well, in the beginning, the plan for A-Café was to make two different versions of the same app (iOS and Android). I initially chose to do this because device-specific apps are made with that device's unique hardware/software in mind--thus, they have the potential to provide a fully optimized user experience.

However, I've since realized that focusing on device-specific development too soon may not be the right choice for our project.

Yes, top-notch app performance would be a big bonus. But by purely focusing on iOS and Android devices for the initial launch, we'd be limiting our audience testing to specific mobile-users only. Laptop and desktop users for example, would have to wait until a different version of the app was released (which is not ideal in terms of accessibility).

Therefore, I've recently decided to explore Progressive Web App development instead.

[What is a Progressive Web App?]

A Progressive Web App (or PWA) is "a type of web app that can operate both as a web page and mobile app on any device" (alokai.com)

Much like a regular mobile app, a PWA can be found through the internet and added to your phone's home screen as a clickable icon. They can also have the ability to work offline and use device-specific features such as push-notifications.

Additionally, due to being web-based applications, PWAs can be accessed by nearly any device with a web browser. That means regardless of whether you have an iOS or Android device, you'd be able to access the same app from the same codebase.

In the end, a PWA version of A-Café should look and act similarly to an iOS/Android app, while also being accessible to various devices. And, due to having only one codebase, development of PWAs tends to be faster and be more cost-effective than making different versions of the same app.

To be clear, I haven't abandoned the idea of device-specific development entirely. We could launch iOS/Android versions of A-Café in the future if demand or revenue end up being high enough. But as of right now, I don't believe doing so is wise.

[What Does this Mean for me as a User?]

In terms of app installation and user experience, not much should hopefully change. I'd like to have A-Café available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

There will also be the option of searching for A-Café via your device's web browser, and then installing it on your home screen (iOS devices can only do so using Safari). We will likely rely on this method until we can comfortably ensure user access to A-Café on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

-------------

And that's it for now! Thank you for reading this latest community update. For more insight into the development process, consider joining the A-Café discord. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this post, we would love to hear your input in the comments below. See you later!

Things to Consider While Hiring React Native Developers

Whether you're using Uber Eats or a comparable app, it's likely already on your phone. You will be acquainted with Walmart, Instagram, Skype, and Facebook services. As a company owner, you've probably wondered what creating an app like this would take. This kind of application is built using the React Native framework.

React Native developers if you're looking to create feature-packed, intuitive mobile applications. You can have native applications built for Android and iOS by a skilled React Native developer; the choice is yours, based on your budget.

What is React Native?

Verify your familiarity with React Native before proceeding. Doing so will prepare you to ask a developer specializing in this technology the right questions. 

The open-source JavaScript framework known as React Native was created by Facebook, in case you didn't know. With this framework, developers just need to write their apps once to have them function on several platforms, including iOS and Android. 

React Native developers- The work they do

A master React.js developer will have a firm grasp of JavaScript and experience with API services, cross-platform technologies, and the many native platforms that comprise the app.

One or more of the following also falls within the purview of React Native:

Acquire the skills necessary to develop complex software.

Capable of identifying problems and finding solutions. 

You may make your React web app mobile-friendly by migrating it to React Native.

Reducing the performance gap between native and cross-platform applications.

Elevating components to get peak performance.

The ability to work on React modules as required is a must.

Making use of the Redux framework to boost the app's performance.

Intended to facilitate software testing automation.

Important considerations while recruiting React Native developers

When you're looking to hire a dedicated React Native mobile app developer from a React.js development company, keep these points in mind.

1. JavaScript expertise

Verify their JavaScript proficiency before contacting them for React.js development services or employing them for React Native app development. One may use JavaScript to organize the program's logic, comprehend its flow, and construct strong components.

2. Components and functionalities of React Native

Understanding JSK, Virtual DOM, and the component lifecycle is essential for any reputable, experienced React development agency. Verify that the candidate is well-versed in all aspects of React Native before employing them.

Developers must have the ability to customize and control the state and settings of React components. This makes it possible to onboard the whole development process with relative ease.

3. Writing functional and clean codes

Experienced React Native developers must deeply understand building applications on several platforms. In the future, it will be crucial to maintain it and make any required improvements.

Everyone working on an app has to be able to write clean, functioning scripts if the process is to go smoothly. On top of that, developers need to know exactly where various codes intersect. To begin developing code, familiarize yourself with the various code classes, build mock tests, and locate fragments and events based on React Native.

4. Incorporating native features

On-demand, the React Native team is also supposed to be able to build native features. When hiring developers, ensure they have experience with native frameworks like Swift, Android Studio, Objective C, and others. They should also have a good grasp of the platform's properties.

If you want to create mobile applications with amazing user interfaces and personalized widgets that consumers won't quickly forget, hiring React Native developers should be your ultimate goal. The many in-built capabilities of the smartphone—its speakers, cameras, GPS, and more—make all of this feasible. 

Why hire React Native developers?

Hiring dedicated React Native app developers is a smart move for businesses seeking to build cross-platform mobile apps at a reasonable price. Businesses can use both the iOS and Android platforms using React Native, all while maintaining high-quality and rapid market entry.

1. Faster development time

Because it is easy to reuse code between platforms, developers might save time by utilizing React Native. Its vast library of third-party plug-ins makes the complete development cycle easier. For example, JavaScript is a programming language with support for modules and extensions built right in. The npm Registry and the React Native Directory are two places you could look for these extensions.

You may see the changes to the code as they happen using React Native's live reload feature. Programmers aiming to shorten the often lengthy compilation time of native languages like Java may find this feature handy.

2. High performance and scalability

React Native is a popular and powerful framework built in JavaScript that developers may use to construct fast, scalable mobile applications. The animations are more fluid, and the load times are faster thanks to the native components and enhanced rendering. Because app components are modular and reusable, it's easier to maintain and update the app, making it more scalable.

3. Cutting costs

React Native is a free, open-source, and barrier-free framework. Businesses may save significant money by hiring React Native specialists rather than paying premium salaries to developers with experience in other platforms.

Conclusion

Hiring skilled React Native developers is crucial if you want to build first-rate mobile applications that meet your business needs. Following the aforementioned methods will help you optimize your recruitment strategy and attract top tech talent.

Enabling large-scale health studies for the research community

Enabling large-scale health studies for the research community

Posted by Chintan Ghate, Software Engineer, and Diana Mincu, Research Engineer, Google Research

As consumer technologies like fitness trackers and mobile phones become more widely used for health-related data collection, so does the opportunity to leverage these data pathways to study and advance our understanding of medical conditions. We have previously touched upon how our work explores the use of this technology within the context of chronic diseases, in particular multiple sclerosis (MS). This effort leverages the FDA MyStudies platform, an open-source platform used to create clinical study apps, that makes it easier for anyone to run their own studies and collect good quality healthcare data, in a trusted and safe way.

Today, we describe the setup that we developed by expanding the FDA MyStudies platform and demonstrate how it can be used to set up a digital health study. We also present our exploratory research study created through this platform, called MS Signals, which consists of a symptom tracking app for MS patients. The goal for this app is twofold: 1) to ensure that the enhancements to the FDA MyStudies platform made for a more streamlined study creation experience; and 2) to understand how new data collection mechanisms can be used to revolutionize patients’ chronic disease management and tracking. We have open sourced our extension to the FDA MyStudies platform under the Apache 2.0 license to provide a resource for the community to build their own studies.

Extending the FDA MyStudies platform

The original FDA MyStudies platform allowed people to configure their own study apps, manage participants, and create separate iOS and Android apps. To simplify the study creation process and ensure increased study engagement, we made a number of accessibility changes. Some of the main improvements include: cross-platform (iOS and Android) app generation through the use of Flutter, an open source framework by Google for building multi-platform applications from a single codebase; a simplified setup, so that users can prototype their study quickly (under a day in most cases); and, most importantly, an emphasis on accessibility so that diverse patient’s voices are heard. The accessibility enhancements include changes to the underlying features of the platform and to the particular study design of the MS Signals study app.

Multi-platform support with rapid prototyping

We decided on the use of Flutter as it would be a single point that would generate both iOS and Android apps in one go, reducing the work required to support multiple platforms. Flutter also provides hot-reloading, which allows developers to build & preview features quickly. The design-system in the app takes advantage of this feature to provide a central point from which the branding & theme of the app can be changed to match the tone of a new study and previewed instantly. The demo environment in the app also utilizes this feature to allow developers to mock and preview questionnaires locally on their machines. In our experience this has been a huge time-saver in A/B testing the UX and the format and wording of questions live with clinicians.

System accessibility enhancements

To improve the accessibility of the platform for more users, we made several usability enhancements:

Light & dark theme support

Bold text & variable font-sizes

High-contrast mode

Improving user awareness of accessibility settings

Extended exposure to bright light themes can strain the eyes, so supporting dark theme features was necessary to make it easier to use the study app frequently. Some small or light text-elements are illegible to users with vision impairments, so we added 1) bold-text and support for larger font-sizes and 2) high-contrast color-schemes. To ensure that accessibility settings are easy to find, we placed an introductory one-time screen that was presented during the app’s first launch, which would directly take users to their system accessibility settings.

Study accessibility enhancements

To make the study itself easier to interact with and reduce cognitive overload, we made the following changes:

Clarified the onboarding process

Improved design for questionnaires

First, we clarified the on-boarding process by presenting users with a list of required steps when they first open the app in order to reduce confusion and participant drop-off.

The original questionnaire design in the app presented each question in a card format, which utilizes part of the screen for shadows and depth effects of the card. In many situations, this is a pleasant aesthetic, but in apps where accessibility is priority, these visual elements restrict the space available on the screen. Thus, when more accessible, larger font-sizes are used there are more frequent word breaks, which reduces readability. We fixed this simply by removing the card design elements and instead using the entire screen, allowing for better visuals with larger font-sizes.

The MS Signals prototype study

To test the usability of these changes, we used our redesigned platform to create a prototype study app called MS Signals, which uses surveys to gather information about a participant’s MS-related symptoms.

MS Studies app design

As a first step, before entering any study information, participants are asked to complete an eligibility and study comprehension questionnaire to ensure that they have read through the potentially lengthy terms of study participation. This might include, for example, questions like “In what country is the study available?” or “Can you withdraw from the study?” A section like this is common in most health studies, and it tends to be the first drop-off point for participants.

To minimize study drop-off at this early stage, we kept the eligibility test brief and reflected correct answers for the comprehension test back to the participants. This helps minimize the number of times a user may need to go through the initial eligibility questionnaire and ensures that the important aspects of the study protocol are made clear to them.

After successful enrollment, participants are taken to the main app view, which consists of three pages:

Activities: This page lists the questionnaires available to the participant and is where the majority of their time is spent. The questionnaires vary in frequency — some are one-time surveys created to gather medical history, while others are repeated daily, weekly or monthly, depending on the symptom or area they are exploring. For the one-time survey we provide a counter above each question to signal to users how far they have come and how many questions are left, similar to the questionnaire during the eligibility and comprehension step.

Dashboard: To ensure that participants get something back in return for the information they enter during a study, the Dashboard area presents a summary of their responses in graph or pie chart form. Participants could potentially show this data to their care provider as a summary of their condition over the last 6 months, an improvement over the traditional pen and paper methods that many employ today.

Resources: A set of useful links, help articles and common questions related to MS.

Questionnaire design

Since needing to frequently input data can lead to cognitive overload, participant drop off, and bad data quality, we reduced the burden in two ways:

We break down large questionnaires into smaller ones, resulting in 6 daily surveys, containing 3–5 questions each, where each question is multiple choice and related to a single symptom. This way we cover a total of 20 major symptoms, and present them in a similar way to how a clinician would ask these questions in an in-clinic setting.

We ensure previously entered information is readily available in the app, along with the time of the entry.

In designing the survey content, we collaborated closely with experienced clinicians and researchers to finalize the wording and layout. While studies in this field typically use the Likert scale to gather symptom information, we defined a more intuitive verbose scale to provide better experience for participants tracking their disease and the clinicians or researchers viewing the disease history. For example, in the case of vision issues, rather than asking participants to rate their symptoms on a scale from 1 to 10, we instead present a multiple choice question where we detail common vision problems that they may be experiencing.

This verbose scale helps patients track their symptoms more accurately by including context that helps them more clearly define their symptoms. This approach also allows researchers to answer questions that go beyond symptom correlation. For example, for vision issues, data collected using the verbose scale would reveal to researchers whether nystagmus is more prominent in patients with MS compared to double vision.

Side-by-side comparison with a Likert scale on the left, and a Verbose scale on the right.

<!–

Side by side comparison with a Likert scale on the left, and a Verbose scale on the right.

Focusing on accessibility

Mobile-based studies can often present additional challenges for participants with chronic conditions: the text can be hard to read, the color contrast could make it difficult to see certain bits of information, or it may be challenging to scroll through pages. This may result in participant drop off, which, in turn, could yield a biased dataset if the people who are experiencing more advanced forms of a disease are unable to provide data.

In order to prevent such issues, we include the following accessibility features:

Throughout, we employ color blind accessible color schemes. This includes improving the contrast between crucial text and important additional information, which might otherwise be presented in a smaller font and a faded text color.

We reduced the amount of movement required to access crucial controls by placing all buttons close to the bottom of the page and ensuring that pop-ups are controllable from the bottom part of the screen.

To test the accessibility of MS Signals, we collaborated with the National MS Society to recruit participants for a user experience study. For this, a call for participation was sent out by the Society to their members, and 9 respondents were asked to test out the various app flows. The majority indicated that they would like a better way than their current method to track their symptom data, that they considered MS Signals to be a unique and valuable tool that would enhance the accuracy of their symptom tracking, and that they would want to share the dashboard view with their healthcare providers.

Next steps

We want to encourage everyone to make use of the open source platform to start setting up and running their own studies. We are working on creating a set of standard study templates, which would incorporate what we learned from above, and we hope to release those soon. For any issues, comments or questions please check out our resource page.

This is a really good app for TOPIK prep, or for people who just want a daily study app! It’s called FunPik and is free on both iOS & android!

PROS:

Mock tests (reading section only) for both TOPIK I & II with a built-in timer

Daily challenges; perfect if you just want to do a few minutes of studying without wasting time deciding what & how to study

3 different games: identify a photo, choose the missing word in a sentence, and unscramble a sentence (honestly the timer on these can make it pretty difficult, but it's a good goal to work towards)

Explanations!!! When you check which questions you got wrong, there's a short explanation about why the correct answer is correct (seriously, why doesn't every TOPIK app have this?)

The youtube channel...okay, technically not part of the app itself, but it links to the 펀픽 channel where you can watch short lectures about how to answer different questions and other study tips. The focused lectures are a more recent addition, so I hope they'll be adding more videos in the future~

Analysis of your progress, including how well you do on different types of questions, an estimation of how close you are to your target level, and how you spend your time in the app

Gameification for motivation~ Get those coins and study streaks! The coins are used to buy "historical relics" which gives you a random photo & description of various landmarks and things around Korea. Adds a little bit of history & culture learning!

CONS

I wish it had a friends list to add to the game aspect and be more competitive/supportive. You can see a ranking list of all users, but I don't care about random strangers lol

The sentence games are too hard for me (not enough time to think, need to be able to immediately answer if you want to finish/do well) and there's no way to adjust the level or turn off the timer. I don't know if the game levels change if you set your target TOPIK level lower

No listening section ㅠㅠ

No writing, but that’s kinda understandable since it'd need a person to score your writing

Overall, I highly recommend checking it out! If you're preparing for the TOPIK and need the extra nudge to study a bit more every day, this app would be perfect. And even if you aren't planning to take the exam anytime soon, this would be a quick & easy way to study during your commute or before bed!

Fall Again

Natasha Romanoff x Fem!Reader x Wanda Maximoff 

Word Count: 3,856

Summary:

Notes: I hope this what you were looking for.

Warnings: Depressive thoughts and talks of dying.

The faint sound of buzzing filled your ears as the man sitting before you droned on and on. His words are meaningless beyond the first sentence. ‘The tests came back positive, I’m sorry, you have cancer.’ Words that had instantly filled you with a certain hollowness you had never expected. As if your entire being tried to comprehend the words. As your mind tried to wrap itself around the idea that you were dying. Causing everything else to simply fade away into a static background. Simple white-noise to your predestined existence. Even still bits and pieces slice through like knives. Cutting you open to the world that you would never experience in the same way again. Leaving you exposed and bleeding without any semblance of protection. 

The sound of the hospital filtered through your ears. Shuffling of feet and the distant voices of doctors and nurses speaking to one another. An overabundance of cheer and hope floating through the halls like air, but you could now detect the underlying sense of despair. The darkness that festered beneath the light pretenses of the spotless halls. A feeling that only seemed to come to the dying. The beautiful lies become a painful truth. You simply stared straight ahead at all the degrees hanging proudly on the wall. All mocking you, because no matter how many awards your doctor may have-- nothing could ever truly cure you. Nothing could stop your body from tearing itself apart. Nothing could stop the suffering you were going to experience. His words mean nothing more to you than the mindless chatter you hear on the subway. 

‘I believe we caught it early, which is a good sign.’

‘You’re going to have to start radiation immediately.’

‘If we don’t get ahead of this thing… I’m afraid there’s not much else we can do.’

Turning, you finally meet the warm gaze of the man that was trying to save your life. Your mouth opens in hopes that your brain just knew what to say. That a few simple words would stop the spinning of the room. That your entire world would make sense again. 

Nothing came out. 

You simply stared at the man, with your mouth slightly open, as silence settled over the two of you. An oppressive silence that spoke more than either of you ever could. Brown eyes staring into yours with compassion and understanding. Lowering your head, you could feel the way your body seemed to wilt. Your shoulders slumping as you canted forward. Normally graceful hands, fumbling to get a grip on your knees. Anything to keep you anchored. To keep your thoughts on the current moment. On what was happening right now. You didn’t want them to stray to your future. To what you knew was coming for you. 

You didn’t want to think about the fact that you were dying. That you would be dead sooner than you ever thought possible. 

You had always known that with the life you lived you more than likely wouldn’t live to see your elder years. But you had always thought you would at least go out on your terms. Either a fire-fight where you were protecting your team or protecting innocent life. You had never thought that the true enemy all along was your own body. That it had been biding its time to finally land a crippling strike-- God did it land one. 

Closing your eyes, you try to stem the oncoming tears. You hated to cry in public when you were near strangers. You hated to look weak to people that didn’t know you. To people that would judge with their own preconceived notions. Nothing was going to stop the onslaught, however. Not as images of the ones you loved came flashing across your mind. 

Tony’s snarky voice filtering through your ears as if he was in the room with you. His teasing tone filling you with warmth. He always knew how to make you forget all your troubles. 

Steve’s warm smile as he looked up at you over the newspaper. His blue eyes crinkling with happiness as he offered you a mug of coffee. Having learned how you liked it long ago.

Bruce’s calming presence as he sat beside you as you read. A companionable warmth shared between the two of you.

Thor’s booming laugh as you told him a joke that you had heard. Easy conversation passing between you both as you shared joke after joke-- as well as ale, of course. 

Clint’s grin as you cooked together. His shoulder bumping into yours with the ease of someone who had done it a hundred times over. 

Vision’s practical words always seemed to make you chuckle. As you always found his no-nonsense ways both endearing and amusing. 

Then Natasha and Wanda appeared and the choked feeling in your throat only grew. Their green eyes sparkling with all the love in the world. Wanda’s open grin filling you with the same amount of warmth as Natasha’s half-smile. The laughter that so easily flowed between the three of you. Your body naturally wedged between them both as you tried to get as close as possible-- though that never seemed to be close enough. 

Clenching your hands, you try to ignore the way your heart broke all over again. Try to ignore the fact that not only your heart was going to be broken by the end of the day. That the two women that held your heart had already lost too much. And now… they may lose you too. 

A simple fact that caused a choked sob to escape your mouth. You want nothing more than to go to a time where this was the simple case of the flu. When the only reason you had gone to the doctor was because of worried green eyes tracking you wherever you went. Even when you had done everything to reassure them that you were fine. Their worry, their fear, had been the tipping point. 

“How long?”

It took you a moment to realize you had been the one that spoke. As the voice that had broken through the silence sounded nothing like your own. It was weak… feeble… everything you strived not to be. And even as the question hung between the two of you, you weren’t sure you wanted an answer. You weren’t even sure what had caused you to ask in the first place. 

You weren’t sure about a lot of things anymore. 

“With what we’ve seen? I’m afraid that if you don’t start treatment as soon as possible you’ll be dead within a few months.” The words only cause your stomach to drop even more. “However, I am confident that we caught it early enough. That, with the treatment, you may be able to make a full recovery.” 

A sardonic smile twists your mouth. “And if I don’t? I’ll end up dying as something I’m not, right? A shell of who I used to be.” 

“Yes,” he agrees softly. “But would you rather take the chance of living? Or succumb to your body’s wishes of death?” 

His words echo like a mantra as you make your way back towards the Tower. Your eyes are taking in the landscape of New York City. The bustling of life that always permeated the streets. Whether it’s children pulling their parents excitedly to the next store or a businessman that was rushing to his next meeting-- New York City never seized in its constant state of motion. No matter what happened amid its confines nothing ever seemed to disturb that simple fact.

If you were to die tomorrow nothing would truly change. The shops would still open in the early recesses of the morning. Taxis and other means of transportation would still rush through the streets looking for passengers. There would still be the distant wails of ambulances on their way to the hospital. Life would go on as it always had. The world wouldn’t stand still simply because you were no longer in it. Even if yours had the moment you had heard the news. 

Pressing your lips into a thin line, you stand and follow the line of people that were getting off. Your feet touching the rough pavement of the sidewalk with a hollow thud. With your hands stuffed into the pockets of your coat, you make your way through the throngs of people. Ignoring some of the looks you received once people recognized who you were. You weren’t in the mood to socialize. You also weren’t in the mood to dismiss the people that looked up to you. You knew what it was like to be dismissed by the people who you used to idolize-- your own personal heroes. You didn’t want that to ever happen to anyone that felt the same way towards you. 

So, you just kept your head down and plowed through the bustling streets of New York. Towards the beckoning light of Avengers Tower. The great A situated on its side a beacon for home and safety. The dull echoing of your footsteps on the marble floor of the lobby as you bypass security. Your mind somewhere else entirely as you make your way up towards the communal floor of the Tower. Only the soft sound of the elevator pulled you out of your reverie. Announcing that you had arrived at your destination. 

Following the faint sounds of voices, your body follows the well-worn path to the kitchen. Taking in everything as you near the entrance-- trying to remember everything as it was before the fallout that you knew was about to happen. From the faint crack along the sidewall of the living room that had appeared when Thor had ‘tripped’ while playing Nerf Wars. To the many pictures that lined the walls-- from amusing candid's to group pictures from intimate affairs. The happiness that suffused the walls of the Tower was always present. 

You hated that you were about to taint it with the same underlying sense of darkness that the hospital held. Hated that your own body has betrayed you. 

You stop, just at the precipice of the room, and smile at what you see inside. Natasha at the counter cutting various vegetables while Clint stole as many as he could manage before she noticed. Steve at the stove as he continued on with a conversation with Bruce. Tony sitting at the island with a StarkPad in his hands-- no doubt tinkering with more ideas for the next Iron Man suit. Wanda and Vision were standing side-by-side as Wanda taught the android how to properly set the table. Laughter flowing between them all. It was a serene moment that you didn’t want to break. That you wanted to capture and live in forever, but all good things must come to an end eventually. 

It seems like this one had to the moment Vision noticed you standing at the doorway. His bright smile is an indicator that he was glad to see you. 

“I wasn’t aware you had returned. If I had I would have greeted you like I normally do, Y/N.” 

At the mention of your name, and Vision’s voice, the team turns and greets you with varying responses-- mostly cheers and grins. At their sudden attention, you take another step into the room. Offering a small smile towards Vision. Hoping that it would show that you didn’t mind he wasn’t waiting for you once you had returned. As you weren’t expecting to have lessons tonight either way. 

“It’s all right, Vis.” You shrug. “I wasn’t expecting you to.”

At your words, Vision’s eyes narrow ever-so-slightly as he detected the underlying stress that you were trying to hide. Something you knew he was about to comment on before Tony interrupted with a question directed towards the android. You never wanted to kiss a man more. 

Knowing that you needed to get some air, but not wanting to be rude, you turn towards Steve. “When will dinner be ready, Cap?” 

“Another thirty minutes,” he admits with a rueful smile. “It would have been finished sooner if Thor hadn’t eaten all the final touches for the meal. He’s out getting them right now.”

You flash a smile at him. “That’s all right, Steve. I think I’m going to go up and get changed. I feel a little grubby in these clothes.” 

He simply smiles back at you. Taking that as a sign to make a quick exit, you’re half-way out of the door before Bruce’s soft voice halts you. 

“So what did the doctor say?”

You shoot him a confused look over your shoulder. Trying to desperately appear neutral as all the attention of the room, once again, shifted towards you. 

“What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you go to the doctor today, má lásko?” Wanda steps from around the counter. A worried frown began to make its presence known on her beautiful face. The same expression that was starting to appear on Natasha’s. Something that you didn’t want at all. Your mind screeches at you to fix the situation you had suddenly found yourself in. You couldn’t tell them all right now. You could barely wrap your mind around it. You didn’t know if you could handle dealing with them trying to as well. 

“I have the flu,” you offer with a weak smile and a shrug. “A few days of rest and I should be as right as rain.” You turn your gaze towards Natasha and Wanda. Your eyes noticeably softening as you did so. “I told you there was nothing to worry about.” 

At your words, the team seemed to relax. The tense atmosphere, that you hadn’t even been aware of before now, dissipating as they all turned back to what they were doing. Sighing, softly, you quickly make your way out of the kitchen and up the stairs towards your room. 

Trying to ignore the feeling of two green gazes following you as you did so. 

The bright lights of New York City shone like the millions of stars that hung above it. Shimmering in the oncoming darkness that the night brought. The buildings, and the people, standing strong against the presence that many tried to avoid. Standing just beside the large window that made up a wall of your room, you could clearly see the nightcrawlers coming out down below. A completely different society awakening as the sun disappears behind the horizon. 

Having changed into fresh clothes, you felt slightly rejuvenated. As if the clothes you had been wearing were bars to a cell. Locking you in with the truth that you were trying desperately to come to terms with. Being out of them brought a small semblance of peace, of stability, that you had been searching for. The simple act allows your mind enough time to get its bearings once more. It may not have been the ground-breaking epiphany you were searching for but it was enough. For now. 

“Dorogoy?” A soft voice whispers from the entrance of the room. Your eyes slipping shut as the knowledge of their presence seeped into you. They have given you enough time to prepare yourself. You were a fool to think that they wouldn’t have noticed that something was wrong.

Turning, you meet their gazes with a tired smile. “Nat. Wanda. Is something the matter?” 

Your question causes both their eyes to flash. Whether it be in a warning or something else, you weren’t entirely sure. 

“I believe you have the answer to that question, Y/N,” Wanda says, her brow furrowing in concern. “We know that something is bothering you but we can’t help you if you don’t tell us what that is.” 

“We’re concerned,” Natasha admits, her voice uncharacteristically soft. Her green eyes shimmering with suppressed emotion as she stares at you. “What did the doctor really say to you?” 

A defeated feeling wells itself up in your chest. You know that you couldn’t lie to them. You had never been able to lie to them. Slumping forward, you move over to your bed and sit. A sigh escaping your mouth as they followed suit. Natasha settling on your right as Wanda settled on your left. Their hands immediately clasping yours in gentle, yet strong, holds. 

Your jaw clenches as you try to work up the courage to speak. Try to put the words you didn’t want to be true out there. To make them materialize as a reality instead of the nightmare you wished they were. 

“I have cancer.” 

The events that followed went by too fast for you to truly react. Natasha’s hands tightened around yours with a stricken look painting itself across her face. Wanda stood with fury written across her face, green eyes flashing red as she tried to control her powers, though you knew none of that fury was directed towards you. At least not yet. 

A soft hand on your cheek pulls your attention away from Wanda’s pacing. Your eyes taking in the pained expression on Natasha’s face. An almost desperate edge underlying it made you sick to your stomach. A quality that only resonated itself within her voice. Tears already forming in her emerald green orbs as reality came crashing down around you all. “They caught it early, right? There’s still a chance for you to beat it? Please tell me there’s still a chance. Tell us there’s still a chance to save you. That we won’t lose you.” 

Tears flow unbidden down your cheeks at her desperate pleas. At the faint sound of Wanda kneeling before you and pressing her forehead against your knees. The trembling you could clearly feel as her hands clasped onto your only available one. The tears you could already feel seeping through your leggings. You want nothing more than to take their pain away. To tell them that this was some horribly fucked up joke that Tony put you up to but you couldn’t. You couldn’t and that hurt you more than any bullet ever has. 

Your throat clenches around the words that try to escape your mouth. As you try to choke out the words through your despair. “Yes.” Natasha’s eyes lighten at your words and Wanda’s head raises from its position on your knees. “The doctor says that they caught it early but I’ll have to begin treatment right away.” 

“That’s good though, right?” Wanda murmurs, settling back onto her feet. Her wide eyes filled with so much hope. “You’ll just begin treatment and everything will be okay.”

At their expectant looks, you lower your gaze towards your lap. Your heart thudding against your chest as you tried to formulate what you wanted to say. But how could you tell the two people that made your life worth living that you weren’t going to have treatment? That you were letting everything rest and have the universe take its destined course. 

Your silence seemed to be all the answer Natasha needed, however. Her words filled with thinly-veiled fury. “You’re not going to go forward with the treatment.” 

“No.”

The silence that follows your feeble answer was even more oppressive than the one in the hospital. Both Natasha’s and Wanda’s hands tightening around yours as they processed your answer. Both their emotions heightening as each second ticked by. Swirling around the three of you like a vortex. Having them both stand suddenly pulls you out of your reverie. Your head snapping up to watch them both pace. Agitation is clear in each graceful movement of their bodies. 

Whipping around, Wanda snarls at you. “Why don’t you want treatment? It could save your life, Y/N.”

“And it could also make me a husk of who I am,” you cry, standing up from your bed. “We don’t know if the treatment will work and I refuse to die as something I’m not.”

“We don’t know that it will fail, Y/N.” Natasha cries back, equally as outraged as you were. “We don’t know what the future will hold. Except for the simple fact that you will die if you refuse treatment. It’s just a maybe right now.” 

Wanda steps forward with an anguished look on her face. “Please don’t sign your life away because of something you don’t even know will be the end result. Don’t make this into a certainty.” 

“Even if I do start treatment I will be completely useless to the team,” you hiss. “Who knows how long I’ll have to fight this until it goes into remission. I don’t want to be a burden on any of you.”

Natasha takes your face into her hands, her thumbs gently rubbing soothing circles on your cheeks. “Do you think they will care, Y/N? Do you think they won’t jump for joy when they find out that you’ve decided to fight? That they won’t be there for you every step of the way?”

“We’re a family, Y/N,” Wanda murmurs with a loving look shining in her eyes. “Family doesn’t let family fight their demons by themselves. You’re more to us, to them, than just a teammate. Nat and I love you with everything that we are. And you know the boys love you like a sister. They wouldn’t want you to just give up.”

“Yeah,” Natasha chuckles. “And I’m pretty sure you’re Vision’s surrogate mother.”

You laugh softly at her gentle teasing. Feeling warmth blossom in your chest for the first time since you had stepped foot in the hospital. “What about if I get too sick to take care of myself like I used to?” 

“We’ll be there, dorogoy,” Natasha whispers, one hand falling from your cheek as Wanda’s took its place. “When you fall we’ll always be there to pick you back up. Just like we know you’ll always be there for us.” 

Your eyes slip shut as the feeling of complete warmth and safety settles over you. Your world is finally beginning to make sense once more. Everything came back into focus as you were surrounded by Natasha and Wanda. The two people that knew how to set your heart on fire with emotions you never knew you could feel. 

“Okay,” you whisper. “I’ll begin treatment.” 

You didn’t have to open your eyes to know that they were smiling. Nor did you have to, to know that they were leading you towards the large bed. Easily pulling into the center with their bodies snugly pressed into both sides. Your nose nuzzling into Wanda’s neck as Natasha pressed herself firmly into your back. Both of their arms holding you in their warm embrace. 

All other thoughts slipping from your mind as you succumbed to the dark recesses of sleep. The only things that mattered were the two women that were holding you like you were the most valuable thing in the world to them. Their warmth better than anything a blanket could ever provide. The feeling of completeness overwhelming you as the darkness finally took hold. 

Your last thoughts being of the two women who would always be there to pick you back up again. 

No matter how many times you may fall.
