Character description: Blonde hair, brown eyes, wears red lipstick and the most important thing is that she is very 1940's in her way of dress, interest and speech.
My room at the Avenger's Tower was too big with a too big bed. A bed that was too big but just right at the same time. See I wanted to sleep but I feared that if I did I would never wake up. That's what happened's when you have been in a coma, not aging, since the end of World War 2. So I just sat there on the floor by the foot of my bed in the dark till I feel asleep, and I did, at 2:00am.
'I like Sleeping' I thought as I feel back, my head hitting the floor, arms splaying out. 'Because it's like being dead but without the commitment.'
I slept the rest of the night there shivering(I had left my window open) on the floor with out a blanket till Steve started trying to shake me awake.
"Dorothy," Steve was shaking my shoulder worry creeping into his voice.
"I like sleeping," I squirmed form underneath the older man's grip. "...Like...Dead."
"Dorothy wake up. Come on doll."
'What is he doing.' I thought as I felt my upper body being moved in the split seconds before I woke up.
"Oh Steve," I had thrown my arms around his neck and was now crying into his shoulder. "I just had the worst dream ever."
"Yes doll, what was it?" he moved his arms around me, holding me closer.
"That I was dead, and you know what? I feel that way ever time I walk in the sunlight. But when I sleep, I like it, it's my escape."
