So let's get started!

Avengers Tower

Steve fell into a deep sleep that night, curled up tightly on his bed watching memories flash by, the usual painful memories; him not saving Bucky and crashing into the ice, ruining his chance of ever being with Peggy. Surprisingly though, he dreamed of something so much worse, it could have killed him.

The Avengers had been sent on a mission; it was a HYDRA mission with his worst enemy; Red Skull. Almost instantaneously Steve knew it was a trap but it was too had been surrounded in a few seconds by droids shooting at them and one by one, they fell to the ground, dead.

T'Challa had been zapped to death as a snake crawled through his body, devouring him till only a mask and a pile of bones lay scattered around. Next was Wanda; she was chained to the ground in a room whose sides dug into the earth. She lay limp on the floor blood dripping from her body, as fire came up from the floor, she screamed in pain, piercing his heart but he couldn't move. Following the tragedy was Falcon, his wings were shot down and he fell to the concrete with a crack, every bone was broken, Steves hearts ached as he lay there, helpless, calling for help, but no one came to his aid and in a crowd of darkness what ever strength was left was killed by crows ripping him apart. Then, it was Hawkeye who was shot through the heart with a arrow; ironic, really, but it killed him instantly and all the Captain could do was feel sympathy for the family who had watched him die in front of them, their hearts ripped out in agony as Clint fell off the edge of the building, lifeless.

Soon it was Ant-Man's turn to perish, he had been killed by a sharp rock falling on top of him by a droid and then the body got eaten by ants biting into his flesh. Steve stared in shock, wondering who would be next in line for a tortuous end. He turned around to find Tony and Rhodey crashing to the ground, huge holes in their suits and everything on fire. In a few minutes there was nothing but ashes to show where they had laid. Just behind them, Thor's body lay scattered around. A head in one place and an arm in the next, blood poured out splattering the ground in red. The grass was no longer green for as far as the eye could reach, red, black and brown covered the ground in darkness. Bruce was trapped in some unknown material with no where to escape as machines shot thousands of bombs, bullets and grenades by the second causing him to drop to the floor in agony, wringing his hands in pain.

But for some reason, none of these deaths amounts to Natasha's, blood was pouring from her sides, bones broken and her face disfigured she cried out whilst looking straight into his teary eyes. "Why didn't you save us? Where were you when I needed you?! I loved you till you watched me die alone in excruciating pain! Where were you, Steve?!" He stood there, shaking violently, unable to move as he watched his beloved breathe her last breath. Suddenly the force that held him back stopped and he was free, he ran toward her, tears streaming down his face as he kneeled by her side and held her in his arms, screaming her name aloud for people to hear miles away. He finally understood how Wanda felt when Pietro died, like your heart is ripped out of your chest and torn. This pain that he felt was worse than any torture or death.

Natasha lay limp in his arms, lifeless, alone like him...

Steve awoke gasping for breath, sweat pouring down the sides of his face as he took deep breaths of cold air to remind himself it was just a dream! Steve lay awake for the rest of the night, in fear of seeing her like that if he closed his eyes again.

Before Steve knew it, it was already morning. Quickly, he slipped out of his Captain America pants, his shield on it, which Tony had given him for Christmas. It was all he needed to take off because he never slept in a shirt since he found them uncomfortable. He washed his face and threw on his running clothes, then he headed to the park to run with Sam.

"Hey, Cap," Sam greeted, leaning against a tree, not really anticipating the run to come.

"Hey Sam, you ready to start?" Steve questioned, eager to let it all out in the run.

"Yep." Sam replied as they started off with a 5 minute jog.

"So how's Maria?"

"I don't know what you're talking about Cap, I haven't seen her since the whole Civil War fiasco begun! l-"Liar.

"Stop lying Sam, everyone knows you two are a item," he teased, enjoying Sam squirming.

"We may or may not be a item, but what about you and Sharon?"

"We are... complicated, she is just using me and I don't love her. I think I'm gonna call her and break up with her," he muttered, very much still annoyed at Sharon ditching him like that yesterday.

"Woah Cap, just maybe a bit harsh, but to be honest, I never really liked her, so you go for what you think is right." Sam encouraged.

"I think I will Sam, I think I will."

Avengers Tower

Ring, ring!

"Hello?" Sharon answered the phone.

"Hey Sharon, it's Steve. I need to talk to you about something and was wondering if we could meet for lunch at that diner down the road?" Steve mumbled through the phone, still not sure how to break the news to her. Little did he know she was with her friends and thought he was gonna do something big, maybe even propose (if she got lucky)!

"Yeah, that's fine, Steve!" She responded excitedly.

"Ok see you there. Bye." Then he hung up with a sigh, realising he had no other choice. He had to do this, no matter how hard it was.
