"I didn't say anything." He said as you shook your head.

"S-Sorry, I'm exhausted." You mumbled.

"The blood loss certainly doesn't help." Bruce said as you sighed and closed your eyes.

"I'll mend the wound best I can, but after that she needs to rest. We can hand cuff her to the bed if we have to Steve. But she needs to rest here in the infirmary." Bruce said as Steve sighed but nodded.

"Ok, I'll leave you to rest. Bucky, let's go." Steve said as Bucky shook his head.

"I have to stay with her." He said as Steve sighed and left.

"He's just being protective of me that's all." Bucky muttered as you smiled and squeezed his hand.

You had fallen asleep and Bucky sat next to you watching you peacefully sleep. You groaned as you woke up and looked over to see Bucky and smiled softly.

"Where's Steve?" You asked.

"I think he's down stairs. How are you feeling?" He asked as you sighed.

"I'm ok, just exhausted." You said as he nodded. You looked up to see Steve entering.

"What the hell does Bucky see in this monster?" Steve said as you looked at him in shock.

"Excuse me?" You asked as Steve looked at you in confusion.

"I didn't say anything." He said as you sighed.

"Bucky can we talk?" Steve asked as Bucky nodded. He kissed your forehead lightly as you smiled.

"I'll be back soon." He said as you nodded and watched them leave.

"Argh mother fucker." You heard Tony's voice say as you looked around.

"Tony?" You muttered as you looked around to see no one.

"Shadows." You grumbled as your shadow beings appeared.

"What can we do for you mistress?" One said as you sighed.

"Could you're um mistress, could she hear peoples thoughts?" You asked as you looked up at them.

"Well, of course you can mistress. Whenever you were hurt of exhausted you couldn't control it." They said as you nodded, that must be what is going on with you. Man, this was a dangerous power to have, especially around Steve.

"Alright thank you, um that'll be all?" You said as the shadow just starred at you.

"Don't think we haven't noticed how different you are mistress. You're with the enemy." One growled as you sighed.

"I'm not the same, I'm not your mistress." You said as they growled at you and flew off.

"That's going to be fun later." You mumbled as you rested your head back on the pillow.

"Bucky's gone to get some sleep, I'll be watching you." Steve said as you sighed.

"Well, this is gonna be fun." You grumbled as he scoffed. You heard an explosion outside as you jolted up but ended up hurting yourself.

"Ow fuck. What the fuck was that?" You asked as Steve looked down to the street from the window then back to you with angry eyes.

"You!" He shouted as you tried to get out of the cuffs.

"What the fuck are you talking about Steve?" You asked.

"Your shadows are down there reeking havoc on the city!" He shouted as your eyes widened.

"Shit." You muttered.

"I knew she was a fucking monster." Steve growled in his head as you glared at him.

"I didn't fucking mean it ok? I don't control them, the other me from this universe does!" You shouted as he glared at you.

"Call them back." He demanded in a low voice as your mind flashed of visions of Steve from other universe's hurting you.

"Get the fuck away from me!" You screamed as you thrashed on the bed. Steve pinned you down as he glared into your eyes.

"Call them back!" He shouted in your face as you began shaking.

"I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry, please I'm sorry." You whispered as he groaned.

"Do it!" He shouted as you closed your eyes and began to cry.

"Steve! Stop it!" You heard Bucky yell as he pulled Steve off of you.

"Her shadows are destroying the city!" Steve shouted as your body shook and you sobbed.

"I'm sorry, please don't hurt me. Please." You whispered as you took short shallow breaths.

"Let me handle this." Bucky said as Steve stormed off. You felt Bucky's hand on your face as you opened your eyes and looked at him in fear.

"I'm sorry." You whispered.

"Shh it's ok. No one's going to hurt you, but I need you to call the shadows back so they don't hurt anyone. Can you do that for me?" He asked as you nodded. You closed your eyes and took in a deep breath as you drew the shadows back to you. You relaxed into the bed as Bucky ran his finger over your cheek.

"Thank you doll, you did well." He whispered as you looked up at him with teary eyes.

"I'm sorry." You whispered as he smiled softly, he undid one of your restraints and gently laid beside you. He placed his arm around you and kissed your forehead.

"It's ok doll, everything's alright. Take some deep breaths for me." He said as you nodded and slowly took in some deep breaths.

"That's it doll." He whispered as you looked up at him.

"I-I love you." You muttered as he smiled and kissed your forehead.

"I love you too doll."
