Steve's POV:
My eyes shot open as a scream rang out from down the hall. I quickly shot out of bed and ran towards the noise on high alert.
I quickly barged into the room where the screaming was coming from. There, I found Percy thrashing around, screaming, with her eyes shut.
All of a sudden, just before I reached her bed, she stopped screaming and shot straight up in bed. Tears filled her eyes as she wrapped her arms around herself.
She hid her face but I could tell she was sobbing.
Reaching her side, I wrapped my arms around her. That was all it took for her walls to come crashing down.
I rocked her back and forth as she sobbed into my arms.
Looking up, I noticed that Wanda, Pietro, and Bucky were all standing in the doorway looking concerned. Quickly, Bucky started to usher the twins out of the room with an understanding look in his eyes.
"Shh. I've got you. You're okay." I whispered softly in her ear.
As I stared down at her small, broken, form, I couldn't understand how someone could hurt such a pure and innocent soul.
In that moment, I vowed that I would be there and protect her in any way she needed.
Looking down, I realized that she had stopped crying and was instead staring up at me with grateful eyes.
"Thank you" She croaked.
"Of course." I smiled warmly at her.
