Summary
Ava breathes through her nose as she paces across the floor. The rest of the team watches her silently yet cautiously, in case she hurls a chair into the screen – Bucky leaning back into his chair with crossed arms, Yelena chewing gum with her feet propped on the table, Alexei looking back and forth from Ava and Valentina as though watching a tennis match, and Bob sitting timidly beside Yelena, trying very hard not to look panicked.
She glares at the CIA director through the screen. “He’s been silent for thirty-six hours. Thirty-six.”
“Ava, in case you’ve forgotten,” Val says in a tone as if soothing a child throwing tantrums. “your boyfriend has super soldier serum running through his veins–”
“Oh, does he?” she asks, sarcasm so sharp it could cut the mahogany table. “I have no idea.”

Summary
There’s a feeling in her chest she doesn’t dare name – soft, overwhelming, almost scary.
She’s never been good at this kind of thing; has never felt this kind of thing. And she’s not sure she’d know what to do with it if she did. But right now, looking at him, she wonders--
Ava chases the thought away before it becomes something… real. Something she can’t go back from.
OR

Summary
She flashes back to that first night, when he backed her into the hallway after months and months of simmering sexual tension disguised as pointless childish squabbles, the heat of his touch searing her skin as he pulled her into this very bedroom. The memory blurs with the present, with the heat of his body over hers, and all thoughts blend together until it is an indecipherable stream of consciousness that boils down to one thing:
“I love you too, you bloody idiot.”

Summary
She feels that shifting sensation in her ribcage again; jarring, foreign, but something she knows is in there all along, merely buried beneath all the heartache and pain and trauma, but has now come to life because of this man – this man who is gazing at her like she hung the fucking moon.
There are no expensive candelabras illuminating the room, no fractured lights shining from priceless chandeliers – just a single lightbulb in the corner, and he looks glorious still.

Summary
The mission had been dangerous, too dangerous even for New Avengers standards. It had gone completely off the rails, no thanks to Valentina’s horrible intel. As a long-time SHIELD agent, Ava knows missions go sideways more often than not and she had learned long ago not to obsess over the contributing factors — but John almost died. They were blindsided, had no idea the building was equipped with quantum disruptors, pulsing within every inch of the walls and floor, rendering her phasing useless. If John hadn’t been there….
