Nightmares and Dreamscapes
Anya had been in the middle of a wonderful dream about a warm sandy beach, a naked Steve and lots of shopping. It was a nice dream and Anya had been enjoying it when pain spiked and woke her up. Steve was thrashing about and had grabbed her arm with his metal hand.

"Owwwwwww!" she winced and tried to pry his fingers off her arm. "Steve! Wake up!"

	"Hmm?" Steve asked. "What d'you need, Gorgeous?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Would you see and talk to Doc Samson about this? Please? I know seeing a shrink isn't fun, but he helped me through a lot of the Lady Mandarin stuff and I think he could help you." Anya also wanted to ask Lucas if he would help Steve with the nightmares. He helped her though the Lady Mandarin stuf as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve frowned, clenched a fist. He'd fought a damned war for the survival of the planet, and now he was being laid low by his own mind? What the hell, subconscious. "I'll make an appointment for a session," he said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled and kissed him deeply. "Thank you, my love." She kissed him again. "I love you so much and I'm so glad you're home." She hesitantly touched the metal of his arm. It was cool to the touch and it was unlike any other metal she had seen before. She would love to get it in a lab to analyze it. "How did it happen?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Steve had technically not promised more than one session. But that was a thought he kept to himself. "Love you too," he said, smiling for just a moment.

The metal of the arm had replaced his shoulder, his right pectoral, his top right-side rib, and a portion of his back, including his shoulder blade as well. It came with a few extras, but it didn't possess the dexterity needed to work a longbow.

He closed his eyes. "I got careless on a hit and run of a supply train," he said. "Got caught. They put their best torturers to work on me, wanting me to give up the others. I wouldn't."

His metal fist was opening and closing in a rhythm now. "They tried whips, swords, electrodes. They even tried good cop, bad cop, for God's sake. Eventually... they went for straight up butchery."

	"Oh God," she gasped and put her hand to her mouth. "I'm so sorry." Tears welled up in her eyes when she thought about what he went through and the pain he must have experienced. She wanted to wrap her arms around him and take away all the pain he went through and was still going through. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve held her close, not saying anything at all, just being in the moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I can't imagine what you went through and I'm sorry you had to go through it." She pulled back and looked at him. "But you're home and you have a lot of people around to help when you need it."

"Dad may be able to help you with the cybernetics," she said. "I know Stark Industries has been working on artificial skin. I don't know exactly where they're at, but I can check if you want."

	Steve half shrugged. "I barely even notice most of the time, anymore," he said. "Guess it couldn't hurt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's kind of cold," she said with a small smile. "Speaking of cold, I'm a little chilly. I'm going to put on a shirt." She climbed out of bed and grabbed one of his long sleeve tees. It would cover up the bruises what were probably forming. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve nodded, pausing only to yawn. "Anya..." he started, unsure how to go on, and settling on, "thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled and crawled onto the bed. She placed a hand on each cheek and she kissed him. "You never need to thank me. I love you and will do anything for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Love you too," he said, after the kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She put her arms around him and put her head on his shoulder. "Let me hold you while you sleep," she said. "I'll keep your nightmares away." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve wrapped his arms around her. "You've got a deal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-01-05 12:03 am UTC (link)
	She kissed him and pulled him down with her. Thankfully she didn't sleep and could wake him if he started to have a nightmare. "Sleep, my love. I will watch over you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve kissed her, then closed his eyes and settled in, eventually drifting into a light, but nightmare free sleep. (Reply to this)(Parent)
