When Steve awoke he found himself outside of Bruce's lab. He sat up and knocked on the door waiting to come in.
"Just a minute!" Bruce answered from inside the lab door. When he opened the door and saw who was standing there, he immediately started to close the door.
"Bruce! Let me in! I need to see Sarah!"
"I'm sorry but I can't let you in."
"Come on! Let me in! I need to see her!" Steve was not cooperating very well.
Finally, he busted the door open and let himself in. He looked around, trying to find Sarah, but found no sign of her anywhere. "Where is she?"
"I'm sorry but I don't know who you are talking about." Bruce answered shyly and fearfully.
"Oh you know right where she is! Tell me where she is!"
"Not here, that's for sure. She hasn't been here since 3 this morning." By looking at the expression on Steve's face, Bruce finally answered Steve's question with the answer he was looking for. "She wasn't getting any better and there was nothing else I could do. I asked Tony if I could borrow one of his cars and I took Sarah to the local hospital."
"Why did you send her there? There must have been something else to do to help her and keep her close!"
"There was nothing else I could do! I tried everything I knew to try! Nothing was working!"
"Give me the address to the hospital. I need to see Sarah."
When Bruce gave Steve the address to the hospital Sarah was located at, Steve hopped on his motorcycle and went to the hospital.
'It's all my fault! I was the one who smashed her head with my shield! I was the one who let her come on this mission after telling her no all along! I was the one who made her mad! I was the one who told her she wasn't capable! It was all me! This is all my fault! I'm the one to blame! I'm the only one to blame! I should have listened to Nick and not let her go! I don't even know how she even went-unless! Sarah, why would you do such a dumb thing? I told her not to go! This is all my fault!'
He pulled into the hospital parking lot and was afraid of what he might see when he walked into her room, so he stayed in the parking lot. Fear was coursing through his body and he didn't know what else to do but cry. He wasn't even going to go in and see her, he just wanted to be near her yet as far away from her as possible.
