Natasha woke up with her mobile vibrating in her pocket. She took a fright, she looked at Steve looking for some sign of recovery, but there was nothing. He was the same way.

Natasha saw that Clint was calling her. The day was already dawning. Natasha looked Steve again and went out of Steve's room. When Natasha arrived in the waiting area, she meet someone unexpected.

Bucky was there in the hospital, he knew what happened through Sam. He didn't showed concern at the time, but he was the first to arrive at the hospital. He cares.

Bucky looked directly at Natasha. Natasha wasn't sure if he knew who she was and if he recognized her. Something told her that yes. He said nothing, he just stand there, watching her go and disappear through the halls.

Bucky suddenly didn't seem that guy depressed and dejected, he was with a great posture and appearance, he also used his spy gifts and was able to access Steve's room. He also apologized, he said he remembered everything that Steve was a brother to him, and he just ignored him for being ashamed of what he did in the past.

Bucky said goodbye.

Today in the visiting hours were Sam, Sharon and Carol Danvers. Carol couldn't stop crying.

Sam: Carol, chill out, I said he's fine.

Sharon just looked at her and felt a hint of jealousy in all her despair by her man. It was strange and she was already suspicious of Carol before. Who knows if she flirted with Steve in her absence.

The doctor came to call the visit and said again that only one person could go. Sharon volunteered. Carol grabbed her arm and said she would go first. The two were already discussing when Sam persuaded Sharon to let Carol stay for at least 5 minutes with Steve.

While Carol was visiting his friend, Sam said to Sharon that Carol was sensitive because her friend is in jail.

Sharon was more understanding and she calmed down.

Sharon was surprise that Natasha wasn't there today. Sam was also surprised.

Natasha decided she wasn't going to be competing to see Steve, when she can do it whenever she wants. Visit him at night is better, no one controlling the time, just her and him.

...

After 3 weeks, Steve was breathing without the aid of equipment. The wounds were healing well. But doctors were uncertain about the consequences when he wake. He is recovering very well.

2 more weeks passed and Steve came out of the coma, but slept pretty much all day. No one was fortunate to see him awake yet, besides doctors and nurses.

Every day, Carol, Sam and Sharon visited Steve. The visit time increased to two hours and 3 people could go to his room. Bucky and Natasha also visited him every day, but no one knew.

On one of these visits, Carol, Sam and Sharon noticed Steve's hand move. He opened his eyes slowly. Sharon ran to the stretcher, and ran her hand through his hair.

Sharon: Steve, my love. You finally woke up.

She even cried, and so Carol.

Steve looked at Sharon and looked around. He looked at Sam and Carol and looked Sharon again. Steve frowned.

Sharon: How do you feel?

S: Who are you?

Sharon looked at him confused.

S: Where am I?

Sharon looked Sam and Carol who were perplexed.

Steve tried to get up and groaned in pain.

Sharon: Shhh... please be quiet.

S: Who are you? I know you?

Sharon: I'm Sharon. This is Sam and that's Carol. I'm your girlfriend and these are your friends.

S: Girlfriend? I do not remember. Why can't I remember anything? My head hurts.

The doctor apperead at the door, he noted Steve awake and entered the room.

Sharon: Doctor, he does not remember me, don't remember us. What is going on?

- Calm down, Miss, please. I need you to leave, we will do some tests.

Sharon: I don't want to leave him.

- I told you he would have consequences... If he doesn't remember you, you will only make things more confusing for him now. Let me do the exams, let me talk and explain the whole situation to him. Then I call you back.

Sharon agreed and left the room with Sam and Carol. They were desolate that Steve didn't remember anything. Sam reminded that they should actually be happy to have his friend back.

Steve was really nervous because he couldn't remember anything, he just knew his name was Steve Rogers. He couldn't remember anything else.

The doctor talked to him, explained the accident and said it was best for him to get along with people he used to live with, it will help bring his memory back. Steve heard the doctor and nodded, although it's very strange, because he has a girlfriend who doesn't remember and don't feel anything for her.

Steve agreed to see his friends again, the doctor allowed them to spend more time with him, just accustoming him with this new phase.

Sam, Carol and Sharon returned and they talked a lot with Steve, they explained that he was Captain America, he had been frozen and thawed... Steve didn't believe he thought they were messing with him. They tried to tell everything they could to Steve, till he announce that he was going to sleep because he was very tired. The day was already ending. Sharon gave a peck on Steve, who accepted although he still feel uncomfortable with the idea of ​​having a girlfriend that he does not remember.

...

By midnight, Natasha went back to Steve's room, she knew he had woken up and lost his memory, Carol didn't stop to complain about it at the base. Maybe it was better that way. Natasha was sitting in the chair, looking Steve sleep.

About 1 hour later, Steve woke in the night. He took a fright because he did not expect anyone at this hour in his room. He thought she was a doctor and something happened, but she is not dressed as one, neither as a nurse. So who was this woman.

Natasha noting he awoke, got up and approached the bed. She looked at him calmly.

N: I know you don't remember anything. I am Natasha Romanoff. We're friends and we work together.

The room was dark and Steve couldn't see Natasha clearly. Steve pressed a button on the stretcher, that make it lift and allow him to sit.

S: Can you get a glass of water for me, please?

Natasha smiled and walked to the door, not to open but to turn on the light and find water for him.

When she turned and went to the table to put water in the cup for him. Steve was looking kind of shocked, and completely enchanted to her.

Natasha turned to him and walked over to him with the water and she noticed that he looked different.

S: My goodness.

Natasha frowned.

S: You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

Natasha felt her heart warming to hear Steve and the way he looked at her now. Natasha was embarrassed and smiled. She handed the glass of water. Steve drank and didn't take his eyes of Natasha, who was feeling very weird.

Natasha tried to look anywhere but in his eyes.

She took the glass from his hand, and their fingers touched briefly. Natasha stood frozen for a few seconds, and they looked at each other in a very intense way. It looked like they had been in that position for minutes.

N: How do you feel? Are you feeling any pain?

S: What's your name again?

N: Natasha.

S: Natasha... Do we work together?

Natasha consented to the head.

S: I work with you and I never tried to be with you? Am I some kind of crazy or dumb?

Natasha now felt cornered, she couldn't tell him all the details of what they have done. She decided not to answer.

S: You really are beautiful. Why do I feel in love with you? Is that weird? It is weird to say. I'm sorry.

N: You're just confused. You have a girlfriend.

S: Oh. I met her today.

N: You know her longer than today.

S: I don't remember. At least she's beautiful.

Natasha felt a little bit of jealousy and looked down.

S: But she can't be compare to you... Why don't we date, tho? I didn't fell in love with you? How could a man not to fall for you, is it possible?

N: Steve...

Steve would not stop talking.

S: I'm sorry, is that... You have someone else? A woman like you, surely have someone.

N: You'd better go back to rest now.

Natasha pressed the button to Steve's stretcher back to lying position. Steve was still very delighted.

S: Will I see you again?

N: Of course. I said we work together.

S: I think I can't be without seeing you.

Natasha rolled her eyes. Even with amnesia he has to be romantic? Natasha thought.

N: Don't be stupid, of course you can. Now sleep.

S: When I see you again?

N: You should not worry about it. Your girlfriend will be here tomorrow.

Steve closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

...

During the time that Steve was in a coma, a lot of things happened into the base. Tony, Clint and Thor were in charge of taking care of everything in the absence of Steve. Natasha was supposed to be the boss, but she always made excuses to be absent.

The New Avengers ran out routine, because the training ended in some diner or bar, because Clint was always hungry. Thor commanded absurd physical training and Tony just wants to talk about technology and weaponry.

...

About Bruce... Well, after Hulk hit Steve, he got a fright and his conscience began to return, and he returned to be Bruce Banner. Bruce was too ashamed. People told him that he wasn't guilty but he was aware it was too dangerous his presence, even near superheroes.

Bruce left without anyone noticing, he figured he would be a coward, for don't even check if Steve was fine or not. But he wanted to go away, he wanted to die. He hated his own existence. He returned to India and started acting again as local doctor.

For his surprise, when he arrived at the airport in India, he spotted someone unexpected. Betty Ross. What was she doing in India? Bruce wondered, it seemed that every feeling he had lost came back. When he saw that face again, he remembered what was waging his relationship with Natasha, he is completely in love with Betty Ross yet.

Bruce não teve coragem de falar com ela, mas a observou por horas e a seguiu até descobrir que ela estava hospedada em um hotel. Bruce voltará a vê-la, mas vamos deixar isso pra outro momento.

...

Also during the coma of Steve Rogers, the lawyer Matt Murdock, along with Clint Barton, fiercely defended the innocence of Jessica Drew. Fury tried all his resources and he only was satisfied when they made an agreement. Jessica would work for SHIELD and the Avengers as part of her sentence for manslaughter, without intent to kill.

Carol Danvers was reluctant for a while, but eventually forgive her friend. She really liked Jessica, they just got along very well together. Even were unbearable together, they love to mess with Clint and Sam.

One day when they were all in the recreation room, Jessica and Carol were bored.

J: Boredom, we could have a party.

Carol: Totally, a party would be good.

J: Vengeful Party! Did you get it? Vengeful.... Avengers...

Carol: Totally, you're the best.

The two made a hi-5.

Sam: People, the Captain is in hospital and you want to talk about party?

J: Sorry.

Clint looked at Jessica.

C: No problem, spiderwoman.

Carol was laughing.

Carol: Spiderwoman?

Sam: It's actually a good heroin name and matches with her, who is always hanging on the walls and ceilings.

J: I liked it!

Carol: It looks good on you. Spiderwoman.

Carol smiled at Jessica, who smiled back at her.

J: Guys! I was about to ask... Dr. Banner... only turns into Hulk when he is annoyed, right?

Carol: Yes.

J: Who irritated him the day he nearly killed Steve?

Carol opened her mouth to speak, but stopped because she didn't know who it was. The others looked at each other confused. No one knew.

Sam: It was probably Clint.

C: I wasn't even here that day.

Carol: Thor also keeps disturbing Banner.

Tony: Er... Nope. Thor was with me, it could not have been him.

Hill: Who guarantees that were not the two of you together?

T: Excuse me. I thought that was a base of the Avengers. Are you an avengers? No? So...

Hill: Tony, Tony... I thought you were retired?

T: I come when they need me, don't like it? Sue me, baby.

Hill: You're so childish.

One last person got up and everyone was silent watching, because he never speaks, but he is always around. Bucky.

B: Whoever is responsible, consider him dead.

Bucky left the room.
