Till the End of Time-

Chapter 37: Who's to Blame?

There were a few protests to have me stay in the hospital longer to be monitored over the next 24 hours. But since Dr. Banner's clinic is in the compound, Steve convinced them to let me leave and if I need medical attention I am within reach to receive it.

But we all knew that things were better with me, so there wasn't any real danger in sending me on my way.

Steve and Bucky walk me back to our building, and once the elevator doors open up Wanda and Vision are there to greet me.

Wanda jumps up from the couch and comes running up to me giving me a big hug.

"Rosie I'm so happy you're awake!! You have no idea how much we all missed you", she tells me as she continues to squeeze me hard.

"I'm happy to be back! Although, for me it honestly feels like no time has passed at all", I admit.

"You'll certainly have your work cut out trying to catch up on a months worth of things", Vision tells me as he stands alongside her.

"Tell me about it! I'm dreading what Cap will put me through in training to get me strong again", I laugh.

"I'll take it easy on you at first", he says with a smile as he guides me to the kitchen to make me food.

"Are you guys hungry?", Steve asks them as he opens up the fridge.

"We're good Cap", Wanda tells him side eyeing Vision before she continues, "Vis and I were about to go on a date so we'll be out for the night".

I turn to her surprised, "Wait! You two are finally dating?! When did this happen?".

She blushes as she reaches out to him and he wraps his arm around her.

"Over the past month, while you were-".

"While I was in a coma", I finish for her. For the most part I'm okay that it was only for a month that I've been unconscious, because it could have been longer. But at the same time I hate that there's been a months worth of things that I've missed.

She nods her head sensing what I'm feeling, "Tomorrow we can catch up on everything that's happened so that you are up to date".

Gratefully I smile at her and give her another hug before her and Vision leave for the night.

"Are you okay?", Steve asks once they leave.

I nod my head, "Yeah of course... I just have to remember that things have naturally happened in all of your lives while I've been gone".

"There really hasn't been too much going on. Mostly everyone has been concerned about you", Bucky says coming to sit next to me.

"He's right. Besides Wanda and Vision starting to date there hasn't been much else", Steve continues to reassure me.

"Oh, well Sam came back when he heard about what happened with you, and he's been here up until yesterday when he was called onto an assignment. But he'll be back soon enough", Bucky mentions.

"Well I can't wait to see him when he does get back. Which reminds me... where's Nat?", I ask realizing that she's the only one I haven't seen yet.

Neither answer for a moment and then I catch Bucky glance at Steve. "What happened?", I ask hoping that it's nothing serious.

Steve let's out a sigh, "Romanoff and I haven't exactly been talking much over the last month".

My face shows my confusion as my mind goes through several scenarios as to what could have happened between them. Steve turns back around and continues preparing the meal, which causes me to turn to Bucky and mouth "What happened?" to him.
