A alert from FRIDAY woke me up. "What the hell's going on?" I mumbled sleepily. As if the universe had decided to answer, Tony came running into my room.
"We found Pietro, alive."
My face must have lit up brighter than the face of the sun. I quickly jumped out of bed and ran out the door (also into to Tony but hey, bonus!). He grabbed my arm and led me to the lab where Pietro lay on the examination table. I ran up to him and hugged him for the first time in almost three years. He reluctantly hugged back.
"Do I know you?"
The words cut through my heart and the fragile scraps of my emotions broke. I broke out in sobs (aka me very, very, very ugly crying). Pietro took my hand. "I don't know you but whatever I have done I am very sorry for."
I sniffled. "No, you did nothing."
He released my hand as Banner returned to examining. Wanda was already down there next to Pietro. I guess he still remembered her because she hadn't been pushed away like I had. Tony took me off to the side.
"So, I should have mentioned that he was suffered amnesia which we managed to restore almost everything but you, Ava, Lila, and a few others. Don't worry, he should (in theory) regain his memory but you'd have to trigger that somehow."
I nodded. "At least he's alive."
Tony agreed and let me leave the lab. I rushed to the kitchen where I knew nobody would be this late/early. The tears flowed down my cheeks and a sound similar to a beheaded alien escaped my mouth.
"Who died?" Yelena asked as she grabbed a apple. I started crying harder as Yelena rushed over to comfort me. "Ok, bad joke."
"It's Pietro."
Yelena looked confused. "I thought he was already dead? Or do I need to go make sure he is?"
I shook my head and sniffled. "We found him ... alive and well."
"So no problem. You guys get back to what you used to be, get married or whatever."
"That would be the plan except for he doesn't remember me." I snapped.
Yelena gasped. "Come on amnesia? Author, thats so overdone and it's clique."
"Who are you talking to?"
"Nobody, it's just something Wilson taught me." She paused. "Anyways, whats the big deal? You've deal without him for years."
"It's one thing for him to be 'dead' and another to see him again, alive. I mean, just seeing his abs and still toned body is enough to make me pounce on him. The urge to .... you know."
Yelena stared blankly. "I don't. Asexual, remember? I mean I get what you're saying but I don't understand it."
"Nevermind. But, I guess seeing him brought back memories and made the stitches in my heart from the hole of his presense break open."
"Ok, is it out of your system?" Yelena asked. I nodded. "I'm going to be tough on you now; you're being hit with reality stick and yes, it sucks. Yes, it tears you up from inside out. But, you must keep going no matter what. Get your head in the game and do whatever is going to make it better. If you feel that having sex is going to make is better, do it. What is going to bring back his memory?"
I nodded as she stood up. "Good talk. Now, where does Natasha keep her widow bite cartridges? I need some extras and a cup of coffee."
