Who knew that something so gentle could cause his heart to beat so quickly? When Morgana moves his PDC out of his hand, and fills his palm with her own, Steve swallows, but doesn’t take his hand away.
Did he defeat his Hector? It’s a complicated question, in this case, and Steve actually diverts his eyes for a moment to think. HYDRA was still out there, or at least it had been, in his memories. And there will always be more Hectors.
His eyes linger back on their hands again, before he looks back up at her eyes. “I’m still workin’ on it.” It’s the answer he settles on, and he tries to give her a smile to tell Morgana that she doesn’t need to be worried about him, but she’s leaning in now, and Steve still doesn’t know what to do.
At the very least, she didn’t look like she was about to cry anymore. Preventing her from needing to shed tears has been his goal, but maybe now what Morgana wants, as his friend, is a hug.
“Hey.” Slowly, gently, the moves his other arm, the one she isn’t holding by the hand, around Morgana’s shoulders into a hug, as he moves himself closer to her on the couch. Steve might not be amplified by the serum anymore, but he’s still strong, and sturdy, and he’ll certainly feel that way in a hug. “You’re going to be fine, okay?”
“If you don’t want your abilities back, we’ll figure out how to make sure that happens. Or if you do, and you want to learn how to control them, we’ll find you someone who can help. Either way Morg, you aren’t going to go through it alone. I’ll be here.”
