Steve sat beside your bed holding onto your hand.
He didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to do.

"I'm so sorry I let this happen." He whispered squeezing your hand gently.

"Bruce says I have to say goodbye now. But I can't, I can't let you go." He whispered doing his best to hold back his tears.

"I've never loved anyone this much, I didn't think it was possible for someone like me to love like this. I thought all I could do was cause pain, but when I take care of you and help you it all fades away. I see that look in your eyes and I know I'm finally where I belong." He whispered kissing your hand softly.
Suddenly Bruce burst through the door with a syringe of some sorts.

"I have something to combat the last stage of the serum! She'll still lose memory but she'll be stable and we can still save her." Bruce said as Steve's eyes widened and he stood up.
Bruce swung into action and quickly injected it into your arm.

"It will take two hours to full work, when she wakes up she'll be very disorientated so we have to keep an eye on her." Bruce said as Steve nodded and looked down at you with worry.

"I'll do anything to save her." Steve replied as Bruce smiled gently.

"We'll get her back Steve."

You woke up about three hours later as you groaned in pain.

"H-Hello?" You called out looking around, your eyes landed on a tall blonde man with a beard sitting beside you.

"Angel, you're awake." He said as you looked down to see he was holding your hand.

"I know you're afraid and confused. But I promise that you're safe." He said as you nodded a little.

"W-Where am I?" You asked looking around.

"It's a safe place, my friend is a doctor and he's taking care of you. He saved you." He said as you nodded again.

"And who are you?" You asked, he smiled and little, but there was pain behind his eyes.

"My name's Steve, and you're Y/N." He said as you nodded and rested your head back down.

"Did I have an accident? Is that why I can't remember anything?" You asked looking up at the roof.

"Well, of sorts. Someone bad did this to you, but he's gone now he can't hurt you. I missed you so much." He whispered the last part squeezing your hand as you looked at him in confusion.

"Were we together?" You asked making him smile a little.

"Y-Yeah, we were. It's a long complicated story but we were o-or are together." He said as you nodded and squeezed his hand back.

"Well, can't say I'm upset with that news. You're pretty gorgeous." You said making him laugh and looked up at you.

"I know you've forgotten most of your life, but I can still see the Y/N I knew is still in there." He replied softly as you smiled at him. You didn't know him, you didn't remember anything. But you felt so safe with him.

"Do we live together?" You asked looking down at him.

"Yeah, we have a place in the city and house out in the country. I'll probably take you back to the house after all of this. Get you away from the city so you can take your time getting better." He explained as you listened.

"Why aren't we in a normal hospital?" You questioned making Steve sigh.

"It's dangerous for you to be out in public, dangerous for the both of us. You're much safer here where we can make sure you're safe." He said as you looked at him in confusion.
