I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
Steve and you were best friends, and had been since he had woken up and literally burst into modern day New York City.
You were the one helping him adapt to his new surroundings and crossing things off his list.
Steve was absolutely in love with you.
You, on the other hand, were oblivious of his feelings, and had a boyfriend, Agent Grant Ward.
While he was on a covert SHIELD team, he always found time to spend with you, usually on the days Steve wanted you all to himself.
Steve had met Grant once, and to say it was awkward was putting it lightly.
Steve stuck close to your side, which must have put off Grant as he spent all night interrogating Steve.
Since then, the two avoided each other.
Call me, baby, if you need a friend
I just wanna give you love
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Reaching out to you, so take a chance
You used to talk about Grant a lot with Steve, how amazing he was.
Steve noticed how you didn't bring it up anymore.
While he was appreciative, he couldn't help but wonder what was wrong.
"Hey, Y/N, it's been a while. How's Grant doing?" he asked one day during a casual conversation.
You flinched at the name drop and Steve became concerned.
"Y/N, what's wrong?" he asked immediately.
Your lack of a response only further worried him.
"Did he hurt you?" was his next question.
You furiously shook your head.
"No, no. Grant has just become a little distant," you admitted, "But it's fine. We'll work through it. We always do."
Steve nodded, not trusting his voice.
He would be keeping a close eye on you.
No matter where you go
You know you're not alone
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
Today, Steve wouldn't be able to hang out with you.
You had gotten a very scary call from a shaky Grant asking you to meet him somewhere urgently.
You wasted no time in running off to meet him.
Steve couldn't help but wonder if you would veer run to him if he called.
Steve kept checking his phone every minute you were gone.
You had promised to check in once you arrived.
"I'm here. Going to meet Grant," he read as you texted.
He replied with a simple but meaningful, "Be safe."
His phone didn't go off for another couple of hours, and when it did, it wasn't you.
You were forgotten as Steve was forced to deal with all of the events in Washington from the HYDRA takeover to discovering his best friend was alive.
Come along with me and don't be scared
I just wanna set you free
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
You and me can make it anywhere
For now, we can stay here for a while
'Cause you know, I just wanna see you smile
When it was all over, Steve settled in a cafe in New York City, his messages being forwarded to him.
The first voicemail he checked sent him running.
You had been shot three times in the chest, landing you in a SHIELD hospital in a secret base.
Steve followed the coordinates to get to you.
When he saw you, you looked weak and your eyes revealed how much pain you were in.
He entered the room slowly, a small british woman leaving so he could enter.
You gasped when you saw him.
"Oh, Steve! You're okay!" you exclaimed, opening your arms.
He hugged you carefully.
"I saw you on the news. Thank God, you're safe," you said.
"What happened, Y/N?" he responded.
Your face revealed heartbreak.
"It was Grant... He was HYDRA," you admitted, "He felt that his love for me was holding him back from completing his mission, so he shot me. He was trying to kill me."
No matter where you go
You know you're not alone
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
"I'm going to find him and kill him," Steve found himself saying.
"Steve, no," you said, "You're going to stay here with me."
"That monster needs to be stopped," he argued.
"And he will be," you nodded, "Just not today. Today I need you here with me so i can get better."
You scooted over on your hospital bed and Steve slid in next to you, wrapping his arms around you.
And when you're weak I'll be strong
I'm gonna keep holding on
Now don't you worry, it won't be long
Darling, and when you feel like hope is gone
Just run into my arms
"I love you," he whispered in your ear.
"I love you, too," you sighed, "I was going to see Grant to end it. I couldn't be with him while I loved you."
Those words were all Steve had wanted to hear for a while.
His heart swelled and he smiled at you.
Steve pressed his lips against yours, kissing you passionately.
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one, I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
When Dr. Jemma Simmons returned to check on your vitals, she spotted you asleep in Steve's arms and he was beginning to doze off as well.
She shut the door carefully and left you two to be alone together.
I'm only one call away
