We made it back to Wakanda safely. Most all of the Avengers coming with. Dani and I offered for some of them to stay with us since we have the extra rooms. Sam, Tony, Steve and Clint will be staying with us and everyone else will be staying in the palace.
Dani and I walked into our house and showed the guys where their rooms would be. Sam and Steve will be staying in the room that has 2 beds in it, Tony and Clint will have their own rooms. We made sure to show them where everything was before heading off to our bedroom on the other side of the house.
"I'm gonna take a shower and go to bed. I'm beat." Dani said as she started to strip her clothes from her body. I quickly walked over and closed our bedroom door, not wanting our company to see her naked.
"Did you already forget we have company?" I asked as the door latched closed.
"Oh shit. Yeah, I did." She giggled and stepped into the bathroom in just her bra and underwear. I followed her in and got the shower turned on for her while she took her hair down and brushed it out. When she turned to face the shower and finish undressing, I noticed a huge black and purple bruise on her side.
"Dani, are you okay? Does that hurt?" I asked, taking a few steps to close the space between us and lightly touched the bruise. She flinched but relaxed into my touch instantly.
"I.. wow. That must be from when Thanos threw me. Honestly I don't remember much of what happened. I know he grabbed me and threw me, so maybe it's from that?" She questioned. Not to me, just generally out load to herself.
"It is roughly the size of his fist. I'm sure you'll heal, but I'd still keep an eye on it just in case." I said and she took her bra and underwear off, getting into the shower.
"You know you can join me, right? I'd actually really enjoy it. Seeing as you've been gone for 5 years." She said the last part quietly but I heard it. I stripped out of my clothes and got into the shower with her.
We both showered, got dressed, and got into bed. Damn chose to wear just one of my shirts to bed while I stuck with my usual sweats and a shirt. I pulled her body against mine.
"Stephen said it had been 5 years since the first battle with Thanos... what happened in those 5 years?" I asked while she played with my fingers.
"I uh.... You really don't want to know." She said quietly. I could feel her body tense up against mine.
"Dani... what happened? Please tell me you at least went back to the compound so you weren't alone.." I said as she sat up, her hands in her lap.
"Yeah I went back. But I didn't stay in my own room. I couldn't. Sleeping in your room was the only way I managed to get even an hour worth of sleep." She said, brushing back strands of her hair that had fallen over her eyes.
"Okay, what else? You know not everyone is good at keeping things to themselves so if something happened, I'd like to hear it from you and not them. Dani, I'm here now. I know I was gone for a long time but I'm here. You can talk to me." I said, sitting up in front of her.
"Fine. Drama went down between everyone and Rhodes. He was giving me shit for not letting you go after you were dusted. I yelled at him. Tony stuck up for me. Apparently I'm like a daughter to him. Oh, he was lost in space with Nebula for a month just before that. He almost died. Some new chick, I don't remember her name but she's basically the female version of Superman.. she saved them. I didn't write. I didn't sing. I didn't dance. I shit everything and everyone out. I couldn't cope. In a way, you're my glue. You keep me together. So when you... you know.. turned to dust in front of me, all that glue went away and I broke. I shattered into a million pieces. Even Clint couldn't get through to me. Oh, and he didn't even show up after the whole thing. He didn't call or text or anything for 5 years. So while yeah I had the others like Steve and Tony, the two people I love most were just gone. And the one person I was started to see as my sister... she sacrificed herself for the stupid fucking soul stone." She said, tears brimming her eyes but she held them back.
"I tried so many time to just end it myself. I didn't want to live in a world without you. But it turns out I can't die easily. This stupid bomb in my chest thinks I need to live. So many nights went by when I locked myself in the training room throwing Steve's shield so hard against the walls and letting it hit me instead of catching it. That only caused a few broken ribs and bruises that I hid from everyone." She added, not looking up at me even once.
"Dani... baby... I am so so sorry that you went through that. I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you. For me, it was as if all I did was blink. But for you it was 5 years of life without me. I know had the situation been reversed, I wouldn't want to live in a world without you. I would've done the same thing you did. No matter how many times Steve would try to talk me out of it. There's no way I could live without you. I just couldn't." I said and kissed her forehead. Her hands reaching up to wrap around my neck as she straddled my lap.
"It's you and me, Dani. Forever." I whispered and pressed my lips to hers.
