[THIRD PERSON POV]

"-and her eyes, they-they just went entirely black." Wanda's stammered words were the first thing Davina heard as consciousness started to come back to her.

"I'm gonna have to see video evidence of that babes." Davina whispered, her eyes shut and her breathing steady. 

"Davina? Are you awake?" Wanda's voice grew louder as he footsteps came closer.

"No this is my inner demon self speaking to you Wanda, how do you do?" Davina opened her eyes and flashed a wicked grin towards the some-what distraught girl stood at the edge of her bed.

"Care to tell me what the hell happened?" Davina asked, pushing herself to a sitting position. She felt no pain, so the girl came to the conclusion that she was fine. The only part of her body which hurt was the silent throbbing inside her skull.

"You don't remember Vinnie?" Wanda gasped, concern written across her features. The Maximoff girl's hands shook rapidly at her sides.

"Oh no I remember every second of it, I just wanted to hear your thoughts on the incident." Davina grinned slyly, cocking her head to the side. Wanda's hands stopped shaking instantly at her reassuring words.

She stood up from the bed despite Wanda's silent protests. Davina's eyes slowly scanned the room, taking in her surrounding, and they landed on a tall figure leaning against the far wall with his arms crossed tightly against his chest.

Wanda stole a quick look between the two and cleared her throat softly, looking down at the floor. "I'm going to get you some soup Vinnie, Vision said he would do it but- Well, I don't think any further explanation is necessary." She smiled weakly at the girl, patting her shoulder and leaving the room.

Davina smiled at Wanda and waited a few seconds till the sound of her footsteps vanished before allowing her gaze to wander back towards the tense man before her.

She noticed his figure was no longer leant against the wall, but only a mere two steps away. She hadn't noticed him move towards her.

Davina read his expression, guilt piling into her mind. "I'm okay Bucky." She spoke quietly, just above a whisper.

He took another step forward and reached out his flesh hand to cup her cheek silently. He didn't need to say anything to her, his ice blue eyes spoke words his mouth couldn't.

Davina leant into his touch and closed her eyes briefly, allowing her body to relax into the comfort of his presence.

"What the hell happened in there?" He asked. The girl took instant notice of his shaken voice as he spoke and opened her eyes.

She sighed heavily. "It's.. Complicated."

His thumb caressed her cheek slowly, rubbing small circles around her defined cheekbone. "Okay... You can tell me whenever your ready then doll."

Davina couldn't help but smile warmly at his words as he pulled her gently into his arms. His arms wrapped themselves around her waist tightly and her arms found their way around his neck. 

Bucky's head buried itself in her hair and hers into the comfort of his chest. The two of them closed their eyes as they relaxed into the comfort of each others touch.

"Are you okay?" Bucky's soft whisper sounded from where his head still lay buried in his doll's hair.

Davina waited a few moments before opening her mouth to answer, unsure whether or not her answer was true. "I'm fine."

She felt Bucky sigh heavily into her hair before speaking again. "You don't seem okay Vina."

"I'm fine." She answered a little too quickly.
