I woke up, the sun shining on my face making my face all hot. I didn't want to get out of bed but I knew I had to. I pushed myself up out of the bed and looked in the mirror. I looked at myself and how Vision's t-shirt loosely fit my body. I didn't want to take the shirt off, it still lingered of his scent and I didn't want that to go away. I threw a light zip-up sweater on over the white t-shirt and left my room heading to the kitchen. When I reached the kitchen I was greeted by Nat, Steve and Rhodes. They were sitting around the kitchen table, eating breakfast and slightly arguing about something but stopped once I entered the room.

"Hey you," Nat smiled

"Morning," I smile back weakly

"You ready to head out in about 20?" Steve asks

"Yeah, I'm ready when you are," I say quietly, avoiding eye contact

Steve gets up from the table to go and get ready. Nat looks up at me in confusion.

"Where are you guys going?" she asks

"Steve's coming with me to Scotland to gather Vi-" I choke on my words as I realize what I was saying

"to gather Vision and I's things," I finish

"You guys think you'll need any help?" Rhodes asks

"It's okay, there isn't much there," I smile at him

I stand up and head to Steve's room to see if he's ready yet. I knock on the doorframe and slowly walk in. His room was very clean, looking untouched almost. He comes out from around the corner and sympathetically smiles at me.

"You ready?" I ask

"Yeah. let's do this," he states

He and I walk side by side as we head down to the quin-jet. Steve took a seat in the pilots' chair and I sat close behind him. The ride was quiet for a bit but he eventually broke the silence by asking me a question.

"How are you holding up?" he asks

"I'm not sure," I reply

"You're not sure?" he asks again

"I'm just not sure how to explain it. I've lost so many people, we all have. We have no idea where Tony is or if he is even okay. There's just too much going on," I reply

"Well, We're pretty sure Tony is alive. We've got someone on a lookout for him," Steve states

"How can you be so sure he's alive?" I ask

"I just have a feeling," Steve replies

"Well, How are you holding up? You lost a lot of people, very close to you," I state

"I'm handling it as best I can," he says while glancing over at me

We sit in silence for a little while longer before he speaks up again.

"Do you remember us?" he mutters

"Do I remember us?" I repeat

"Before I left... Do you remember everything?" he asks

"Yes. I remember," I reply, looking at the ground

"I'm sorry," he replies

"Why? You have nothing to be sorry for," I reply

"I left you. I left for two years with no contact, after you and I shared all of those moments. It wasn't fair," he states

"You had important stuff to do, you had to leave. I understood," I reply as he looks at me in guilt
