It Was Always You (Universe 163,729)

Chapter 12

Rhodey left Carol's room and told Tony about the plan.

"When will we let Thor see her?"

"I don't know, but he's starting to get impatient."

Thor was still sitting in his chair, pissed about everything. He could believe that his own friends were keeping him from Carol. He knew she was sitting in her room, with everyone watching her. He despised the plan, but he followed it anyway. He saw Sam sitting in the chair far to his right, watching the security footage.

Carol had fell asleep, and was sleeping peacefully. The rest of the Avengers decided to go to bed as well. Thor was still awake, and silently walked to Carol's room. He opened the door, not wanting to wake her. He sat in the chair right next to her bed. He smiled at her small form sleeping. Carol started mumbling and suddenly awoke, fear plastered on her face.

"Carol? Are you okay?" Thor got up from his chair and sat by Carol.

"Thor, I watched you die."

"I'm here, you going to be okay." Thor held Carol in his arms, softly rocking her. She let her tears fall, soaking Thor's shirt. Thor saw Carol in pain, and felt the same way. He missed her, and finally she was back in his arms. Carol wasn't getting better which worried him. He held her, and went to find Bruce.

"Bruce! Help me! She is getting worse."

"Hold her steady, it will make things worse if you move her."

Thor sat down, still holding her in his arms. Bruce checked her heart rate, which was really high for an average human.

"She's having another panic attack."

"How do we help her?"

"We don't, all we can do is wait."

Thor brought Carol into his room, and laid her on his bed. He rested her head on his chest, made sure she was comfortable, and fell asleep. The two looked peaceful, and no one dared to wake them. Carol woke up, slightly confused and saw Thor. She saw his ocean blue eyes smiling back at her.

"I could not resist."

"It's fine, you are very comfortable."

Thor smiled and got up. He held out his hand, waiting for her to take it. She did, and the two walked out into the kitchen. Thor opened the pantry, looking for any flavored pop tarts. Everything fell out onto him. He swore, making Carol laugh.

"Have a little cereal with that won't you?"

"Shut it."

"So hard. Here let me help you."

Carol put all the boxes back except the cherry pop tarts. She handed them to him, which made Thor cheer like a child with candy. He ate the entire box in under five minutes. Clint was watching from the vents, when Steve sneezed.

"God bless America."

Steve looked around, confused. Tony laughed behind him, while Natasha hit Clint out of the vents.

"Hey, what the hell?"

"Quit stalking them."

"Say the former Russian spy."

"You really want to go there?"

Clint retreated back into the vents, avoiding her sight.

"Can Red Bull kill you?"

"Why are you asking?"

"Because I had like seven of them within the last minute."

Peter hit a sugar high, while Bucky chased after him. Tony rolled his eyes, and grabbed a cup of coffee. Bucky finally caught Peter, and tied him to a chair. Sam interrogated him.
