Tony's Pov:

"Woah!" I shot awake and swallowed.

"You alright?" Stephen asked.

"Fuck no," I said and Stephen looked at me worriedly... I let myself lean into Stephen and let myself hear his heartbeat...He's ok...He's alive.

"So touch works?" Someone asked.

"We're not sure," Stephen said.

"I love you," I whispered and Stephen rested his head on mine.

"I love you too, darling," Stephen said softly.

"Maybe Sam should be next since he usually helps Tony." Someone said.

"Yeah...Anthony?" Stephen asked.

"What?" I asked as I played with Stephens' hand gently...Careful...Careful...Hurt.

"Do you know Sam?" Stephen asked...Familiar name...

"Familiar," I mumbled.

"This is Sam," Stephen said gesturing to someone...Birdie!? Who? Majestical Flap Flap! What?

"Hey, honey," Sam said smiling warmly at me...Something's Wrong! Something's Broken!

"Hi," I said and Sam reached out to me. I jerked back and he stopped...

"Can I hold your hand?" Sam asked...I don't...I don't want to be touched by someone I don't know...Scared...I looked at Stephen and he frowned.

"You won't hurt me?" I asked and Sam shook his head.

"Never," Sam said and I swallowed nervously reaching out...Warm...That's why the name sounded familiar...I remember Sam and something to do with warmth. Sam smiled warmly at me as his fingers intertwined with mine...Oh...Warm.

"Sammy?" I asked feeling a wave of calm wash over me.

"Hey, honey," Sam said.

Stephen's Pov:

I smiled watching Anthony as he played with my hand gently. He's more clingy than normal at least with me...Sam says it's cause he saw me die...I don't even know if he remembers that, to be honest. He seems so all over the place when it comes to memory.

"I'm sorry...I'll do better." I frowned and looked at Anthony confused.

"What do you mean, love?" I asked and Anthony frowned like he couldn't remember what he just said. He looked at me and looked so lost that it broke my heart.

"I don't know..." Anthony said.

"We need to fix your connection with T'Challa next," I said.

"Who?" Anthony asked.

"T'Challa darling," I said and Anthony frowned. Anthony suddenly gave me such a loving look that my heart melted.

"I love you, Stephy," Anthony said and god he's going to kill me...He has this innocence about him right now and it's adorable. I looked up when I heard a noise and saw Winter watching us or watching Anthony...Anthony looked at him and stared for a long time. "Who is that?" Anthony asked...So he really doesn't remember anyone connected to him.

"That's Winter," I said...We all took to calling him that after he said he liked it.

"Oh, hi," Anthony said...He won't remember him. Winter gave him a small smile before walking away...Probably just checking on him. Anthony suddenly stopped playing with my hand and looked at me. "What?" I asked.

"Can I kiss you?" He asked and I smiled.

"Of course, love," I said and was startled when Anthony gave me a desperate kiss. I did not expect that with the way he was asking. After a while where I may have gotten lost in the moment, Anthony pulled away breathing heavily with a smile on his face. "Wow," I said and Anthony laughed making me smile...Good. That's a good sign...Him feeling and laughing.
