"Sure there is nothing i can do?" Sam asks me for the hundredth time in the last hour.

"I'm sure Sam, i just really want my wife right now"

"Well, that is something i can't do, say something i can do"

"Fine, you wanna do something to help me. Shut up" i feel tears behind my eyes but i don't let them out as i look back up into the ceiling.

"You must be starving, let's go to the kitchen and i'll fix some food" he says, just one second after i told him to shut up.

"Will it make you shut up?"

"Yes, because i can't cook and talk at the same time"

"Then, lets go" he extends me his hand but i just glare at him and get up myself on the other side. As we walk to the kitchen it's absolutely quiet, and we pass an empty Medbay.

"Where are the others?" i ask Sam but he just shrugs his shoulders and continue to walk me into the kitchen.

"So, what do you want? We have..." he takes a pause, opening the refrigerator. "Pizza, icecream, tacos... and chinese" Am i really about to stress eat? Yes i am. Typically i'd think i would have done it before the wedding, not after, when everything is over. But everything's apparently not over so...

"Chinese as appetiser, pizza and tacos as a main course and icecream for desert?" i raise my eyebrow to make it more of a question.

"I like the way you think" he says and starts to cook, or well, warm the leftovers. First chinese since one don't really have to warm them. Then Pizza and Tacos when their warm and at last, the icecream. But in all the time we're sitting there, five hours to be exact since Y/n left me in our room, i haven't seen a shadow of a single human being. Apart from me and Sam. I keep worrying about what she's doing, probably something about the curse, or it's just that her conservative military husband is back.

"Is something wrong?"

"Why does everyone keep asking me that?" i ask in an angry tone.

"Because it almost looks like you're crying"

"Well can you blame me, i have a lot to worry about... and i cry when i'm mad"

"You're mad, about what?"

"My wife's dead husband coming back, the honeymoon, the curse, our fut..." i stop myself as i realised i slipped with my information.

"I didn't think she'd tell you about that, guess i was wrong" he says with a laugh, taking another bite of his icecream.

"You knew too? Why was i the only one who didn't know about it?"

"Chill, you weren't the only one. Tony, Steve, Clint and Bucky still doesn't know. Loki does and i guess Thor as well since he's Asgardian"

"Is that what Wanda and Y/n have been doing?"

"Yeah"

"Can you tell me more about it, please" and i even said please.

"I'm not sure i should get myself involved in that"

"You already are, from the moment you decided to keep it a secret"

"I still don't think i should tell you" but all i need to do is glare at him and he puts his hands up in defence. So he gives up and tells me about the time he got to know Y/n for the first time. While shopping for clothes to the wedding. How they raced back to the tower and when they got back we were leaving. It was right before we found Mia. How Sam was flirting with her which would have bothered me, but i know how she sees Sam as her friend. How they did a game where he would ask questions to get to know here and she would answer, about her past, about people in her life, about everything. How she had met someone when she went to get the baby, that the whole thing was a trap and started this whole shit. And how he promised not to tell her. About me wanting to turn and her not wanting me to.

"I still don't get the curse" i say and feel this kind of heartache over the love of my life.

"I know, i didn't either. But i spent some time with Wanda after she had talked to Y/n at your wedding and a little before we left"

"So you've heard about the cave of the prophecy?"

"I have, but i don't really know how to explain it"

"Right now our powers exert over telepathy, so i should be able to look myself. If your comfortable with it, i know it's not the most comfortable thing in the world"

"I know, but since i flirted with your wife, then fiance, i feel like i might owe you that" and with that he extends his hand and i take it, looking into his eyes as i let the powers flow through us and lead the way.
