Who: Steve Rogers and Kara Danvers What: Talking When: Friday evening Where: Their house Warnings: TBD Status: Closed/On-going
Things were unsettled in the house today, and for very good reason. This whole nightmares thing was hard on everyone, harder on those with the worst on a regular basis, but he never could have anticipated what had actually happened. He’d heard Molly leaving her room last night, heard her go to Bucky instead and he hadn’t thought anything of it. If things were bad, of course she would, and Steve had all the faith in the world that Bucky and Kara could handle it.
Very shortly after, hearing the thump of a body, Kara’s raised voice and his kid crying her heart out, he’d realized that they all should have thought this through.
He’d spent a lot of the day watching over Bucky. Molly hadn’t wanted to leave Kara’s side for a lot of hours and Steve didn’t trust anyone else to keep an eye on his friend for at least half of that. Only when he’d been sure that Bucky wasn’t about to snap again had he let Veronica take over watching him, long enough that he could check in with Molly and Summer, make sure they both felt safe enough to stay and left them the offer to put them over at someone else's house for a night or two if they wanted, gave Bucky and Kara some time alone too. It was long past dinner time when he finally got the chance to check in on Kara himself, cornering her alone downstairs.
“Hey,” he greeted gently, moving to join her, hand coming lightly to her arm. “I’ve been wanting to ask all day; how are you doing?”
