Maddie's POV

Iron Ass
Maddie, he relapsed. He actually harmed Steve. Please come back. We need you. He needs you to help him though this. You know what the nightmares are like, yours used to be as bad. But he relapsed Maddie. Please come home.

Appeared on my phone screen. I felt tears in my eyes. My nightmares were so bad at one point I would have a relapse sort of thing. On my first mission with the Avengers I was taken by HYDRA. They had me for a few weeks before the others found me. Since then I've had horrible nightmares. Sometimes my body wakes up before my mind and I find out once I almost killed Nat. But I managed to stop that from happening, the nightmares still happen but I haven't ever lost control again. And I was going to help Bucky because he kept relapsing when he first joined but I never got the chance. My thoughts were broken by my phone ringing. Iron Ass. I decided this was it. I couldn't keep away from them, they were my family and he needs help. But I needed to stay here for a bit longer. I needed to it need them.

"Tony." I said and I heard his breath catch in his throat. "Maddie you're ok! She picked up. I got through to her." I heard him yell and I let out a laugh. "I'm fine don't worry but Tony I don't think I can come back.  I'm sorry." I said and I heard all of the Avengers protest. "Guys shhh. Maddie why? We all need you. Some more than others." I heard him say and the others agreed. "I'm sorry but I can't come back. Goodbye everyone." I said and pressed the end button. I felt the tears run down my face. I pushed a piece of blue hair out of my eyes and fell to the floor. I clutched the dog tag around my neck. The one given to me by Steve so that when he wasn't there to protect me I still had something of his to keep me safe.

I took it off and stood up. I placed it in my room and just sat on my bed thinking. They were my family but I couldn't just go back like that. It had only been a few months. I had to do this. For me.
