Pym Poisoning
In the weeks following the battle to free the various women from the Deviants, Steve had seen almost no super-heroic action.  It was as though the world of crime had decided to take a bit of a holiday break.  He'd continued to take his regular doses of growth formula, just in case, but had only had one call to change size during that time.

Now, though, he entered the training room, ready for a giant-sized work out.  He concentrated, getting ready to push himself to his nominal fifteen feet fighting height.  He felt the usual tingle run through his body and then...  pain.  It started in his guys but quickly spread to the rest of his body, feeling like his every nerve was on fire.  He couldn't move, his muscles felt locked, couldn't even cry out in pain or cry out for help.

He saw the floor coming up to meet him (or was he coming down to meet it?  He couldn't tell) but could not do anything to stop it.  He hit the floor with a hard thud.

Steve instantly brightened at the sound of her voice. "For you, Gorgeous? Always."

Anya entered and gave him a kiss. "Want to tell me why you're down here?"

Steve kissed her back eagerly.

"Tried to change size for a little workout and just about had every nerve in my body try and win a contest for most transmissions of pain," he began. "Iason and Dani got me down here, and he did some kind of healing stuff."

Anya frowned. This wasn't good. She had enough of seeing people she loved in the hospital. "What caused it? Does anyone know?"

She sat down in a chair next to the bed and took his hand in hers.

Steve gave her hand a squeeze. "Still waiting on Doc Pym to do some tests, but Iason thinks something I ran into in Deviant town poisoned me, without me knowing it. Worked its way into an allergy to Pym particles."

Anya frowned again. Definitely not good. "Any indication if it's going to work its way out of your system? Did he say how long you have to stay in here?"

"Not much longer," he assured her. "They think they got it, but they want to be sure."

He frowned. "Either way, my size-changing days are behind me."

Oh she could so say something about him, well parts of him, changing size, but wisely decided against it.

"That's not a bad thing, or the end of your kicking bad guy butt days. Besides, I like you as an archer."

Steve arched an eyebrow. "Yeah," he agreed. "Gonna miss the super-strength, though."

"I know," she said. She knew what it felt like to miss being able to do certain things and to not have the abilities one once had. Though she knew she'd be able to wear her suit again.

She squeezed his hand. "Anything I can do for you? Or to you?" She grinned. "I can sneak some contraband food in."

"Give me a day on that one," he said, though his heart wasn't entirely in it. "Not quite up to full speed yet."

"But candy bars? Please?"

"I was kidding, Handsome. I wouldn't do anything that would be bad for you in your condition."

She brought his hand up and kissed his knuckles.

"Your wish is my command. What kind would you like?"

"Awfully tempting though," Steve grinned.

"Thee Musketeers, if we've got 'em."

"Anything you want, babe." Anya leaned up and kissed him. "Anything else I can get you? Video game system or anything else to help pass the time?"

"Can you bring my DS?" Steve asked, when they broke. "I just started the new Zelda game."

"Of course. I'll be back before you can miss me." Anya grinned. If felt great to be home and to be able to see Steve, despite the circumstances.

"You are absolutely the best. I'll be right back." A quick kiss and Anya went to go get the requested items.

Steve grinned, then went back to chucking playing cards. He definitely did not deserve her. Not at all.
