  Summary

  “You’ve never taken a woman to bed?” Ava asked, trying to remember how she felt at that exact moment. Floaty and grounded, all at once. Drunk and sober, all at once.

  “I guess there’s a first time for everything,” Bob replied. “Ava Starr, can I cordially invite you over to mine for a platonic cuddle that’ll confuse the rest of our teammates in the morning?”

  -

  Or, Sentry's powers help alleviate Ava's pain through physical contact.
