Steve started to get better and better. Peter came to visit him, and he was surprised with how much he remembered. "Pops, you're doing great!" Things finally seemed like they were coming back together. The silly superhero world Steve had conjured up in his mind was slowly fading away.

"The doctor said you can come home today! Isn't this great?" Peter exclaimed, practically bouncing off the walls. "Really? That's great news, call your dad!" Peter took out his phone and told Tony that Steve would finally be coming home. Tony dropped what he was doing, and rushed to the mental institution.

The three of them walked out of there with pride, excited to finally move on with their lives. Steve was pretty well adjusted now, and was even comfortable with holding Tony's hand. If fact, he really liked it, and didn't let go the entire car ride home.

That night they snuggled up in their bed together, Tony resting his head on Steve's chest. "I have missed this so much." Steve planted a kiss on his head. "I love you, my Romeo."

"I love you, too."

Sadly, things were too good to last. The next morning Tony couldn't wake Steve. Tony was practically screaming, which caused Peter to come running in. "What's going on?" Tony looked at him, his eyes bloodshot with tears. Peter fell to his knees, feeling sick to his stomach. They called 911 and the ambulance arrived to take Steve to the hospital. Tony and Peter sat in the back, crying in each other's arms. This can't be happening.

After some examinations, the doctor pulled Tony and Peter outside. Their hearts were practically beating out of their chests. "I'm so sorry to inform you that it appears Steve has slipped back into his coma, and we don't know if he's going to wake up again. And even if he does wake up, I don't think he'll ever be the same."

Tony could hear his heart cracking. He just got his husband back and now he was gone forever. Peter saw the heartbreak in Tony's eyes and pulled him into a hug. "I'm sorry, Dad."

Meanwhile, Steve opened his eyes, wondering where he was. He looked up and saw aliens attacking the city. He looked to his left and saw Ironman laying there on the ground.

Oh no, he thought.

The End.
