SAFE HOUSE

The next time I open my eyes, I am in an unfamiliar place, but not one that feels dangerous in any way.

Lifting my head up, I try to see if I can recognize the place, but it's too dark to make out anything.

As I move, however, I feel a light weight by my legs, and through the little light provided by the moonlight, I see Peter lying there, his mouth slightly open, dark circles under his eyes.

He must be so uncomfortable.

"Peter?" I call out in a low voice but there is no answer. "Pete?"

"Five more minutes." He mumbles, making me chuckle slightly.

"Alright." I say, slowly getting up to put a blanket over him.

For some reason, I am buried in blankets.

When I look down, I see Steve sleeping on the floor.

How long have they been here?

Better question, how long has it been?

Smiling, I grab another blanket for Steve, but as I'm about to cover him I notice something in his hand. I slowly walk towards it and take it from him.

To my surprise he is reading The Hunger Games. I separate the page he stayed at and place the book on the nightstand.

He must be really tired since he didn't notice I was up.

I'll let them rest.

I should try to get some sleep as well, though I feel like I've rested enough.

Despite my initial thoughts, I fall back asleep almost as soon as my head hits the pillow.

The next morning , I'm awoken by the sound of Steve and Peter having a conversation.

"Peter?" Steve says, shaking Peter slightly.

"Hmmm." Peter answers, rubbing his eyes.

"I think you should go home. You've being here all night."

"I'm alright Cap." He says, yawning.

"At least go clean yourself up. I'm sure she will wake up soon."

"Alright." Peter says and both of them walk out.

Sighing, I stretch out my arms, wincing at the bright sunlight coming in through the window next to the bed.

Minutes later, my phone buzzes with a message.

My phone?

I have several lost calls among other notifications but the message is from Steve.

Steve: hey, how r u?

Chuckling, I shake my head. This message just made my day.

While I debate how to reply, I check the other notifications, slowly reading some of the messages the team left for me.

Speaking of, where is everyone?
