"SOPHIA THERE'S A SPIDER BEHIND YOU!" I screamed, jumping up and diving behind the couch. Tony began laughing, slapping his knee. "Oh my god you should've seen your face!" I was shivering, when Steve came into view. "Are you okay Soph?" I looked up at him, watching his eyes grow wide in shock. "Y-You're on fire." "Like, literally on fire!" Bruce shrieked as he walked in, sprinting for the fire extinguisher. "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" Tony screeched, white foam being sprayed at me. Bruce didn't give up, until the roasting fire had been put out. "Sophia, how did you catch on fire?!" I raised my hands, looking at them. They were on fire, glowing like embers. "It's not that bad..." I got lost, staring into the flickering fire on my hands. "JESUS CHRIST!" Clint was next into the room, slapping my hands with his rolled up, clean, sweat towel. "Stop catching on fire you crazy woman!" Tony cried out, backing away from me. "S-Steve, what's going on??" I stumbled back from everyone, as my skin began to catch fire, slowly making its way up my arms and legs. "Steve!" The ground began smoldering beneath my feet. "STEVE!" The fire engulfed me, everywhere I looked was just hot flames. "Get her out of here!" "Get another fire extinguisher!!" My vision was growing increasingly black, my movements sluggish. "Soph!" I fell back, scorching the carpet as I did so, Steve yelling my name in shock.

Darkness. Nothingness. I couldn't feel anything, like I was... floating. "I'm so sorry Soph..." I could hear Steve's voice. "I should've done something, I should've helped you!" A short sigh. "And I never got to tell you, how much I loved you." If tried reaching out to him. "Steve, I'm right here!" "Steve!" When calling for him didn't work, I tried moving my hands. One of his was holding one of mine. I clenched my hand, and felt it move, Steve's hand holding mine tighter. "Oh my god." "Sophia??" My eyes opened, blinking against the harsh lights. The lights disappeared, and I fully opened my eyes, getting used to the dim light coming through the curtains. "Hey, welcome back Sophia..." I turned my head to look at Steve. "I heard you." My voice was a whisper, hoarse from disuse. Steve frowned. "What do you mean?" "I heard you talking to me, while I was out." "Y-You said you loved me." A dark red flushed on his cheeks. "Oh, um-" I leaned forward, quickly kissing his cheek. "Thank you Steve, for staying with me." "How long was I out?" He was still blushing. "2 and a half months."

For the next 20 minutes, he helped me get used to standing, and walking around. Several Avengers had come to visit, welcoming me back. "Steve?" He looked up from writing a report, a smile gracing his face. "Yes Soph?" I returned the smile, making my way over to the desk he was sitting at. "I forgot to tell you something." He raised an eyebrow, setting down his pen. "And what is that?" I took a seat on the desk, beside him. "I love you too." I gently kissed his forehead, laughing quietly as the same blush from before creeped up his neck. "You're so squeamish!" He grinned at the floor, obviously shy. He was so cute.
