Ava's POV:

When I woke up, Steve was gone and in the place of The Twilight Zone, there was some detective show on that I had never watched in my life. I seriously doubted Steve had changed the show. I didn't think he had any idea how you did that. Before today, he hadn't even heard of Netflix. It only took me a second to figure out who would do that. I smiled and shook my head. Figures Tony would walk in while I was sleeping and change the channel, probably with Steve still being in the room. Light was still filtering in through my window, so I assumed it was still daytime. I checked the clock on my bedside table, and the red numbers read 6:30. Let's see….I believe I fell asleep around 3. So, I had slept for about 3 hours. I wondered where Steve had gone off to. Probably off to take a shower and let me rest. I grabbed the remote, and exited out of the show. What was I to do now? I couldn't even get out of bed yet. I was still hooked up to hospital machines. Not like I needed that anymore. "FRIDAY?" I called out.

"Yes, Ms. Jade?"

"Can you send for a doctor?"

"Of course. Are you ill?"

"No, but I don't want to be hooked up anymore." FRIDAY sent a doctor to me, and checked me out. He unhooked me and told me that I was recovering fast, but I should be careful not to do anything to reopen the wound. That meant no training exercises, and mostly rest. I agreed and he left the room. I stood up and headed towards the kitchen. All I wanted was food. When I entered the kitchen, I found the team sitting around the table in the next room. A Monopoly City board was in the center of the table. I watched as Steve got ready to roll the dice.

"Be careful, old man. You might find yourself paying me a lot of dollars that could go to your retirement fund," Tony warned.

"You really like the old man jokes don't you?" Steve asked.

Tony shrugged. "Maybe a little." I fought the urge to snort. A little was an understatement. Steve rolled the dice, and he got a 12. A 6 and a 6 on both dice. He moved his figure, which was a dog house.

"So, did I land on one of your properties?" Steve asked.

Sam snorted. "Don't be surprised if you did. The man practically owns the whole board. He's the reason I have no money left." Tony patted the gigantic pile of money next to him. Natasha took Tony's cards quickly to check if the property was his.

She smiled and shook her head. "Sorry, Tony. That property isn't yours."

"Well, who's is it then?"

She shrugged. "It's not mine."

"I believe it's mine," Vision piped up.

Steve gave him the money he owed him. "Well, at least I still have some money left for my retirement fund," he teased.

Tony rolled his eyes. "Not for long."

"I still don't understand this game," Wanda remarked. She was just observing their game. She had a sandwich in front of her and she took a bite.

"You'll figure it out," Steve assured her. Rhodes picked up the dice. I cleared my throat. They looked up, and seemed surprised to see me. They had been too immersed in their game to notice me come in.

"Hey, guys."

Tony stood up. "Ava, can we talk in the other room?"

I nodded. "Sure." We went into the living room. He put two fingers up. "One-Why the hell are you out of bed and two-how the hell did you get out of bed?"

"To answer your questions-one: I'm hungry and two: I got a doctor to unhook me." Before he could say anything, I held a hand out. "Don't worry. He checked me out and I swear I will take it easy and rest. I won't risk reopening the wound. No training exercises. Just rest. And, yes my chest hurts a little but I'm fine."

"You're taking the medicine."

I nodded. I hugged him and he seemed taken aback. I knew he was just trying to make sure I was alright.

"Thanks, Tony."

He took a shaky breath. "You're welcome." I couldn't imagine how worried he had been when I was injured. When we entered the room, I looked over at Wanda and she was looking down. She probably still felt guilty.

She had tears in her eyes. "I-I'm so sorry…."

Before she could go on, I put a hand on her shoulder. "Wanda, it's okay. I'm fine. And, I swear from now on I'll wear arrow proof and bulletproof and laser proof armor. I'm sure Tony could make some for me."

I gave her a hug. I then went back to getting food. "So, I take it Tony is winning?"

Natasha smiled. "Not for long. I think someone could beat him."

I made myself a turkey sandwich with cheese and mayo and sat down next to Steve. "Do you have room for one more?" She nodded and got me money and a game piece. Rhodes finally got to roll and I looked over at Steve. We both smiled and I couldn't help but think of earlier. With us talking and laughing. My head on his shoulder. How comfortable, safe, and happy I was whenever I was with him. Eventually, the ones who had money left ended up teaming up against Tony. Except for Vision. Vision was happy to be on Tony's team. We ended up beating Tony. Now. that was a good ending to the day.

A/N: Hey, everyone. I really enjoyed writing this chapter! It brought back memories of playing Monopoly City with my nephews a few years ago. It was fun but it almost always ended up with a fight. Steve's game piece was the one I loved to use. So, this was an opportunity to be nostalgic. What do you guys think of Steve and Ava? Is their romance too fast? Too slow? Any ideas for the story? Put in the reviews below! I hope you guys enjoyed!
