Hello, my loves, I hope you enjoy this chapter, keep commenting please, cause it makes me live, thank you for being the best readers.

3rd person POV

Bruce and Strange were static for a while, they didn't know what to think, do or how to move.

Tony's hand was touching the glass tube.

Their breath was irregular, they got closer to the chamber.

"Call everyone, if he does wake up we'll need everyone to help get him out of here and stabilize him at the tower" - Strange shouted and Bruce sent an alert to all of them, minus Steve.
Bruce's hands were shaking.

"Are you sure this is it?" - Bruce asked Strange, who was checking the monitors.

"I don't know" - he answered, concentrated on the screen.

STEVE'S POV

I was feeling betrayed and by my own friends,that I consider family.

I would have to go back, because Tony is my life and I need him back, but first I would finish some Tasks.

I was walking from side to side waiting for the anonymous contact the asked to meet with me. I shouldn't trust a stranger, I couldn't even trust my own friends.

The person showed up and pulled me to an alley.

"What do you know?" - I asked.

"What's the rush? I missed you, Stevie"

I knew that voice, it was a woman's voice.

"Remember me, Steve? Maybe you heard me on the radio before"

When she said that flashbacks of that night came to my head. Tony's neck in my hands, his face covered in blood.

I pressed her through the wall angrily, it was almost instinct.

"What did you do to him?"

"I did nothing, captain, you did"- she smiled and my rage just took over.

I grabbed her neck and pulled her up.

"Look at the monster you've become" - she struggled to say.

I dropped her and looked at my hands, I was not controlling myself.

"What did you do to me that night?" - I asked without looking at her so I could try not to attack her again.

"Are you sure it was me or you just set free the real you? If Tony is not dead yet he's gonna wish he was, actually think of it as a favor, now he doesn't need to be with this freak that you are, always thinking you're so perfect, when you are the opposite"

She said it close to my ear, I couldn't move my body, what if she was right?

I wasn't feeling anything, not my body, my mind or soul, I was just empty with a stupid hope that Tony would come back, when I deep down knew that wasn't true.

I grabbed my motorcycle and even though I was not seeing the road clearly I knew exactly where to go.

I stopped at a cliff at the border and hoped it was high enough, surprisingly I wasn't afraid, actually I was feeling something after all, relief.

When I was about to take a step forward I felt pain in my head and took a step back like a force was pulling me back.

"Steve, listen to me" - I heard Natasha's voice.

I looked around and there was no one.

"I know what you're trying to do, but please, let me try convincing you it's not worthy, I know I can't hear you, but please listen to me, I know you're in pain and I promise that if I can't convince you I will let you go, cause no one should live in the agony you're living,but please let me..."

Her voice stopped suddenly, probably Wanda couldn't hold any longer, but my decision was made. I couldn't hurt people anymore and my sole existence was doing that.

3rd PERSON POV

"Try to reach him again" - Bucky was desperate, crying and so was Natasha.

"That's not how this works" - Wanda said trying to concentrate, but the connection was over, unfortunately.

"I can't loose him" - Natasha was shaking, she threw herself into Bucky's arms.

He held her strongly, she was shaking too much, barely holding herself up.

"Guys, you need to keep your voices low, please" - Pietro showed up in the living room.

"We need to look for him" - Thor said.

"But we don't even know where he is" - Bucky said, still holding Natasha.

"I might be able to track him down, you just need to keep quiet so I can concentrate, he wasn't far" - Wanda said and closed her eyes, but then opened them again.

"What? What happened? Is he gone?" - Natasha grabbed Wanda by the shoulders.

"He's here" - she looked to the door and right after Steve walked in.

"Oh my God" - Natasha shouted and ran to hug Steve, but he didn't hold her back.

"Don't" - he said, his voice cold.

"What?" - she asked.

"Really? You wanna play dumb? You lied to my face" - Steve yelled at Natasha which scared everyone.

"Don't talk to her like that,man" - Bucky stepped up with his hands on Steve's chest.

"You all betrayed me, you kept me away from the love of my life" - he was still yelling, pointing to everyone in the room.

"Steve, we were afraid you might do something that would jeopardize the plans" - Natasha spoke carefully.

"That's how you see me isn't it? All of you, you think I hurt him, I can't live with this, I don't even know why I came here, cause I can't live with that either" - His voice was lower, pure agony.

"You didn't hurt him on purpose,Steve, we all know that" - Clint tried to talk.

"But I did hurt him and I don't want to hurt anyone else anymore" - he said and turned around determined to leave.

"Then don't go" - a voice came from the back of the living room.

...

STEVE'S POV

"Then don't go"

My heart stopped for a second and I thought I was delusional. I turned around and I couldn't believe my eyes. It was Tony, right there standing, looking at me.

"If you don't want to hurt anyone, don't go" - he said it and I ran towards him.

When I got to him I lost strength and fell on my knees, I held his legs and started crying.

"I can't believe you're really here" - I tried to say between the hiccups, my voice came out weird and pitchy.

He touched my face, that sent me a heat on my body, I looked at him and got up, holding his face on my hands.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I hurt you" - I said crying.

"Shh, stop it, I missed you" - He said crying too.- " How long is gonna take for you to kiss me?"

His sense of humor, I was so relieved to have him back in my arms. I looked him in the eyes and everything else disappeared, suddenly I was nervous, like it was the first time, my heart was racing, my stomach was weird and my legs were weak.

I put my hand on his face and admired paradise, I could feel he was nervous too.

I pressed my lips softly against his and we didn't move for a while, everything came back to sense, it's like my whole body was being filled with life again.

He moved his lips, his tongue urgently asking for passage, when it tangled on mine I had to breath heavily.

We stopped kissing when we were both fighting for breath.

I kissed his neck, face, chin, forehead while feeling his body with my hands to make sure he was real.

"I need to sit down" - he said and fell forward but I caught him on time and put him sitting on the couch.

"What did I say to you? your muscles are still learning everything again." - Stephen came into the room

Tony's appearance was great, but of course some recovery would be necessary.

"I don't care, Stephen" - Tony said, stubborn like always, he never accepts weakness.

"But I do and I'll take care of you, forever"
