Steve goes to Vormir to save Natasha and things go down.

Nothing had been the same since she died.

Steve had fallen into a trance. Barely surviving on water and cold food that he forced himself to eat.

All he wanted was to get her back.

So when the opportunity to go return the stones came up, he had jumped on it. Hoping that maybe he could reverse the trade.

He had returned the other stones first,  hoping that if he was able to save her, they could just go straight home.

When he arrived in Vormir, he felt more lonely then ever.

It was like he could feel her presence, but he still knew she was gone. It was torture.

Then he saw the red skull, someone who he thought was dead.

"I want her back," Steve said simply, holding out the stone in his hand.

"That's not possible. She teased her life for the stone. It's unreversable. The damage is done."

Steve shook his head, "No. You said, a soul for a soul. I'm giving this back. This soul for hers."

He sighed, "It won't work how you want it to."

Steve shook his head, "I don't care. Reverse the trade."

The red skull nodded and took the stone, disappearing with it and causing a bright blue light to appear in place of him.

The light dimmed and standing in front of Steve, was Natasha.

"Nat?" He asked, relief flossing his voice. He did it. She was back.

She stared at him for a moment, her mouth hanging open and her eyes glossy, "Steve?" She whispered.

He reached out to hold her hand and laughed in relief, "Yeah it's me."

Natasha blinked slowly, swaying slightly, "Steve..." She whispered, falling forward.

He caught her and gently lowered her to the ground, cradling her head in his lap as he scanned her nervously, "Natasha?? What's wrong? Are you okay?"

She coughed and blood trickled down her lip, "Steve, somethings wrong."

He shook his head, "No, no, no. You're alright Natasha. You're gonna be fine. Come on, let's get you home. Tony can help you. It'll be okay."

Natasha coughed again and shook her head, holding Steve's hand tightly, "I don't think the trade reversed my injuries Steve. You won't be able to save me."

Steve shook his head, tears filling his eyes as he stroked her cheek daintily with his thumb, "Natasha you'll be okay. I'll get you to Tony. I can't lose you again."

Natasha gave Steve a weak smile, "Steve stop. I need you to listen to me, okay?"

Steve's breathing was heavy and he could barely keep the tears in his eyes from flowing, but he nodded.

"I love you Steve. I love you so much, but you have to let me go. Move on. Go home and be happy. Okay? Don't let my death hold you back. And don't you dare blame yourself," She said, tears filling her own eyes and she clutched onto Steve's hand tightly.

"I love you too," Steve whispered, pulling her closer to him, "Which is why you can't leave me. I don't know what I'll do without you Nat."

Natasha reached up and placed her hand on Steve's cheek, wiping his tears with her thumb, "You're going to keep being a hero Steve. Like you've always been. You'll keep training new Avengers and you'll be okay." 

He shook his head, "I don't want to do anything if I don't have you by my side."

Natasha frowned, "You might not have that option."

She coughed again and Steve lifted her up, running towards where he had landed the ship, "I'm not giving up Nat. I can still save you. Just hang in there, okay?"

Natasha was too weak to argue. She laid her head on his chest and clutched onto his shirt for support.

When he finally got them back to the ship, her breathing was shallow and she hardly had a pulse, "Stay with me Natasha. We're almost there." He whispered, pulling the quantum suit over her suit.

She hummed in response, "Steve wait, in case I don't make it...I don't want to die never having kissed you."

Steve frowned, "You're gonna make it Natasha."

She shook her head, pulling on his shirt, "Please Steve."

Steve sighed but leaned forward to kiss her softly. He pulled away a few seconds later and pressed the button on both their suits to return them to the present.

When he arrived, he ignored the confused looks and questions from Bucky and Sam.

Instead, he just sprinted to Tony's lab, praying he was there.

"Tony! She needs help." Steve yelled, laying her down on the medical bed as Tony walked into the room confused.

He took one look at Natasha and his eyes widened as he began trying to save her.

"Cap go get Banner. I need his help to save her."

Steve hesitated as Tony injected Natasha with something.

Her eyes remained locked on Steve's, her hand clutching onto his. He looked down at her and shook his head, "I can't leave her alone Tony."

Tony sighed, "I need you to go get Bruce or we don't stand a chance at saving her."

Steve frowned and squeezed Natasha's hand lightly leaning down to press a kiss on her forehead, "Hang in there for me, okay Nat?"

She nodded weakly and he sprinted out of the room.

Tony continued his efforts to stabilize her, "When did that happen?" He joked, trying to lighten the mood.

Natasha just rolled her eyes, not having the energy to respond.

Hours passed and they had somehow gotten Steve to stay outside the room while they tried to stop the internal bleeding.

Finally, Tony walked up to Steve, "She's stable. And she'll be okay. You can stay with her if you want."

Steve nodded and walked up to the door before being inturrupted by Tony again, "Hey Steve.... you're getting a second chance with her. Don't waste it okay? I can't deal with the two of you being mopey and lonely for another twenty years."

Steve nodded and rushed into the room, taking a seat next to her and holding her hand in his.

Her eyes fluttered open and she gave Steve a weak smile, "Hey there." She whispered.

Steve smiled, "Hey. How you feeling?"

Natasha shrugged, "Never better."

Steve laughed a bit and pressed another kiss to Natasha's hand, "Do me a favor and stop dying?"

"No promises," Natasha said, smirking slightly as she turned her head to face him.

Steve chuckled and leaned down to kiss her again, "I love you."

Natasha smiled against his lips, "I love you too."

Steve smiled after pulling away and sighed. This was his second chance...and there was no way he was gonna waste it.
