I'm back. You can't get rid of me that easily. I'm with you 'til the end of the line, remember? [ There's a hint of...something, an emotion that wants to clog his throat up, since there's a worry now, from the way she's talking. He left her worse than this ( he thinks ) when he pulled her up out of that river, but it's possible there might be injuries he hasn't become aware of yet. Maybe in the past five years something's happened with the serum he doesn't know about because he wasn't here and it has him worrying. ] I'm alright. I've had worse.
[ He's talking about losing his arm, waking up to find out he was being held by the enemy he'd been fighting against and his arm had been replaced and the time he lost most of the metal arm to Stark. It might not have been his real arm, but it was something that had become a part of him for long enough and was attached to him, so it may as well been losing something like that all over again.

Doesn't look like there's much to get back to. Some rubble, but that's not gonna give a lot of cover for some medical care. [ He's not thinking of himself in this - he came in during the middle of this fight, he doesn't think he has any reason for someone to take a look at him - because his main focus is on her, on getting her somewhere she can rest and recover. ] Those sorcerers, they might be able to get us a portal out of here.
