You bit your lip as you walk towards the medic bay with Pepper, the team had just got back from a gruelling mission and Clint said over the radio that it was a tough one, emotionally. Only minor cuts and bruises in terms of physical injuries which made you sigh a little in relief, also helped by the knowledge that the serum in Steve's veins makes him heal quicker than the average human. Quicker than you, as you were benched until your ankle had fully healed from the last mission you went on and sprained it badly after taking a bad fall to save Natasha's life.

You look round the medic bay as you look for your boyfriend's figure, biting your lip when you don't see him anywhere, worry creeping up your back as you keeping looking at the bays for him.

"He's still in the jet..." Clint says as a confused look crosses your face, jumping at his voice and looking at the older avenger as he has a gash on his arm checked over by a nurse.

"Pretty bad then..." You say softly and takes a deep breath as you turn away from Clint and walk towards the Quinjet, ignoring the niggling pain in your ankle as you know you should technically still be resting up for it to heal. But, Steve needed you more right now.

You spot him sat in the jet, staring at his hands, blood stained on them from the mission. You watch him for a moment before walking over to him quietly, crouching down in front of him and taking his hands in yours, looking up at him. Reaching up and stroking his cheek with your knuckles, just the way he does when he has to calm you down from a nightmare.

His gaze flicks up to you and he retreats out of his thoughts slowly, a weak smile gracing as he looks at you. "Sorry..." He whispers and you shake your head slowly, smiling sadly at him, you understood that sometimes the mission doesn't go the exact way that you want it to and you need time away from the others.

"You have nothing to be sorry for..." You say as you watch Steve carefully before standing up and moving into his lap when he tugs on your hand a little, wanting the contact with you. "How about we go back to our room, get you cleaned up and then watch a movie...or make out while a movie is playing..." You suggest teasingly, hoping to cheer Steve up a little more and take his mind off of the mission.

Steve couldn't help but laugh at your suggestion, nodding lightly before kissing your cheek. "I would like that...maybe even more than making out..." He mumbles and smirks at you a little before smacking your bum as you both walk off the jet.

He was going to be okay, he just needed some time, and you.
