I woke up and adjusted my eyes to the light. Where was I? I looked around, all the while hearing the beeping of a heart monitor. Wait… why was a heart monitor in my room? My room was set up like a hospital room, and I didn't have the slightest idea why. I jumped when I heard a voice. "Ms. Jade? I've been told to tell Mr. Rogers when you are awake." I remembered that was FRIDAY.

"Oh, okay. Um, you can send for him," I replied.

I continued to look around the room, trying to clear my head at the same time. Things were coming back slowly….but I still didn't know what happened. My head felt like there was a lot of empty space at the moment. Suddenly, I heard a noise outside of the window. "FRIDAY? Can you check outside of the building for any intruders?"

"Yes, Ms. Jade." FRIDAY scanned really quick. "There are no intruders detected. Would you like me to check again?"

"No, it's fine. Thank you." There had probably been nothing at all. I was most likely hearing things. The door slid open to reveal blond hair and blue eyes.

"Ava."

"Hi, Steve." His uniform was a mess, and his face was dirty with his hair being messed up as well. He sat down on the far end of the bed and was careful to make sure he wasn't sitting on my legs. "Hey, get off of my bed," I teased.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

"Have you seen yourself? I don't want your dirt and sweat on my bed."

He smiled and I could have sworn he blushed. "Oh, that. We just came back from a mini mission, if you will, Things got messy, though."

I smiled. "A mini mission, huh? I guess I have missed more than I thought."

His smile faded. "Yeah." He looked down at his lap, then back again. It was as if I was bringing him back to a place where he didn't want to be.

I cleared my throat. "Um, what happened to me?"

"You don't remember?"

I shook my head. "Well, it's kinda fuzzy. Things are coming back to me. Just very slowly."

He hesitated. "You got hit by an arrow while doing training exercises. Wanda accidentally directed the arrow towards you. They had to perform surgery on you."

I nodded, it starting to come back to me. "I want to speak to Wanda. She probably thinks it's all her fault. I want her to see that I'm okay."

He nodded. "Yeah, she is being pretty hard on herself."

"Steve? Are you telling me the whole story?" I looked into his eyes, determined to find what I felt was missing here.

Again, he hesitated. "I was at the gym when you got hurt. Tony didn't want me finding out what happened to you. But, I found it out not long after I came home."

"He what?!"

He shrugged. "He was trying to protect me, I know that. But, it still wasn't right."

"I'm going to kill him after I get out of here," I muttered. He smiled and shook his head. "What's so funny?"

He shook his head. "It's not funny, but you seem pretty close to Tony."

I nodded. "Yeah. He's been dating my mom for a few years. I guess we've developed a strong bond over those years. My father...died a few years ago." His smile was gone by now. "My mom met Tony, and things went up from there. They make each other so happy."

He smiled. "How are you feeling, Ava? I should've asked earlier."

I smiled. "I'm fine. I still feel a little weak, but nothing Netflix and food can't fix."

"What's Netflix?"

I grabbed the remote off of the little table next to my bed. "I'll show you." I turned on Netflix, and showed him all these different TV shows. He already knew what TV shows were, but admitted he hadn't watched many. "You've still got catching up to do, huh?"

He nodded. "I find new things everyday. It can get confusing."

I nodded. "That's okay. This world confuses me sometimes, too." He chuckled. I turned on The Twilight Zone and he was surprised to find it was in black and white. I told him it was made not long after he got frozen in ice. At one point, I'm not sure when, I had made room for him to sit next to me. He smelled like sweat and dirt, but I couldn't care less. We sat there for who knows how long, talking and laughing as we watched each episode. And, at one point, I had started to get sleepy and I laid my head on his shoulder and fell asleep.

Steve's POV:

She laid her head on my shoulder and fell asleep soundly. The show was still going, and I would have stopped the show except I didn't know how. This Netflix thing was new to me. Just like a lot of things in this world. I looked at Ava, and gently brushed her hair out of her eyes. She was beautiful even when she slept. The door slid open and revealed Tony. His eyes widened when he saw the scene. "What the hell is going on?" He looked at the TV. "You two better not be doing Netflix and chill," he warned.

"I don't know what that is," I admitted.

He shook his head. "Nevermind." His eyes darted to the TV again. "Hey, black and white. Straight from your era."

I rolled my eyes. "Do you need something, Tony?"

"Well, I was just coming to check on Ava, but it seems you two are busy at the moment."

"She's sleeping, Tony. What am I supposed to do? Wake her up so you can talk to her?"

He shook his head. "Nah. I'll leave. You can go back to whatever you're doing." I nodded and expected him to leave, but he grabbed the remote that was sitting on the bed and changed it to some detective show. He smiled, satisfied. "That's better. Continue." Then he finally left. Typical Tony. I was glad we were on speaking terms now.
