Steve picked up Ava at the carnival and took her on a walk.

"You really wanna walk in the carnival?" Ava asked.

"It's where we met." Steve said. "Good memories."

He handed her some cotton candy and she ate thoughtfully.

"What was that about a holy glow earlier?" Steve asked.

"It's your aura." Ava explained. "So righteous."

Steve laughed a little. "That makes sense. It's a Captain America thing."

Ava kissed him. "Ferris Wheel."

As we climbed into the sky, I tried not to be blinded by Steve's massive pure aura.

I dialed down my powers so I wouldn't be overwhelmed.

He pointed out landmarks to me and I giggled. He was like a little boy, so happy on his first date.

I grasped his hand in mine and held him close.

His aura warmed my own.

I wanted to be better, stronger. Worthy of him.
