Last night? What did I do last night?

Well I'll tell you what I did.

I found all the spots where the Avengers hid.

Last night I found Iron Man listening to Peter's voicemails on repeat.

Last night I found Falcon, head down, staring at his feet.

Last night I found Scarlett Witch dissolving into tears.

Last night I found Hawkeye drinking away all his fears.

Last night I found Captain America reminiscing in pain.

Last night I found Black Panther standing alone in the rain.

Last night I found Black Widow holding an old dog tag.

Last night I found Winter Soldier beating up a punching bag.

Last night I found SpiderMan crying over a photograph.

Last night I found Loki hiding his pain behind a weak laugh. 

Last night I found Thor watching his brother with hurt in his eyes.

Last night I found everyone, trying to tell me lies.

'I'm fine' they said while tears spilled down their face. 

Dreaming painful nightmares too big to chase. 

Last night I tried to comfort each.

But comfort seemed a bit too far out of reach. 

Last night I told Tony Stark his sickness wasn't 'just in his head'. 

Last night I told Sam Wilson it wasn't his fault his best friend was dead. 

Last night I told Wanda Maximoff her life would be worth staying for. 

Last night I learned Clint Barton didn't want to fight anymore. 

Last night I looked at Steve Rogers's compass in the dark.

Last night I softly placed my hand over T'Challa Udaku's heart. 

Last night I held Natasha Romanoff's hands and sat in her bed.

Last night I helped Bucky Barnes with the images in his head.

Last night I held Peter Parker close to me.

Last night I realized Loki wasn't as stoic as he pretended to be.

Last night I laid my head on Thor's chest, in a tight embrace. 

All the Avengers try to pass the night as if in a race,

Thoughts wild and hearts beating fast.

All of them stuck, deep in their past.

Comforting them was something no ordinary person can do,

All of them said 'thank you, I couldn't do this without you.'

Becuase,

Last night Tony Stark admitted he wanted a kid.

Last night Sam Wilson told me he'd wished Riley had lived.

Last night Wanda Maximoff told me she wanted to end her life.

Last night Clint Barton repeatedly said he missed his wife.

Last night Steve Rogers told me he wished to return.

Last night T'Challa Udaku said he wished he'd been the one to burn.

Last night Natasha Romanoff said she was the one to blame.

Last night Bucky Barnes told me about an old flame.

Last night Peter Parker said he should have been the one who'd been shot.

Last night Loki told me he wished he and Thor never fought.

Last night Thor admitted he missed the way his brother used to be.

The Avengers said they wouldn't be the same without me.

This might've helped me realized that they all did care

Even if the rest of the world told me I wasn't wanted there. 

However, last night, none of them were okay.

But at least they all had the courage to say,

'Sometimes I cry, sometimes I bleed, 

Sometimes what I get just isn't what I need,

And sometimes it all hurts, so very bad,

To see that I can't get back what I once had.'

This is what I did last night, when you were asleep.

I gained some new secrets that I swore to keep.




Well....you asked.
