Steve had frequent nightmares about Thanos, and would usually end up screaming himself awake. He didn't sleep in the same bed as Tony yet, cause he still wasn't used to the idea of him being his husband. Tony didn't see any progress happening, so he decided to call that therapist.

Every Monday and Friday Steve would visit her, and he would tell her about his wild adventures in Sokovia and Wakanda. Tony gave her pictures and things to help with the therapy. But, Steve only seemed to be getting worse and worse. He convinced himself this world was just some trick, made up by Thanos. Finally, the therapist suggested he spend some time in a mental institution, where he could get better.

"A mental hospital?" Peter asked sadly as his dad explained the plan. "I know it sounds bad, Pete, but what choice do we have? He needs to get better." No one liked the idea, especially Steve. When Tony went to drop him off he kicked and screamed, claiming no one believes him.

Tony's heart shattered as he watched them drag away his broken husband. He thought Steve being asleep was bad, but this was much, much worse. They didn't know when, or if he'd ever be able to leave. Peter was burning up inside seeing his dads this way. Tony didn't sleep anymore, while Steve wasn't getting any better.

It all seemed hopeless.
