“Where the hell is Steve?” Sam asked aggravated, the silence in the clearing heavy, so heavy in fact that the tension could be cut with a knife.
They had just gone through hell and back, losing friends along the way. This shouldn’t have been the problem. Returning the infinity should never have been the hiccup in the road they had faced. But the silence was an indicator that this was a different type of problem the Avengers had faced. This wasn’t like them defeating Thanos and losing the friends that they cared so much about at the end of it. But when the mere seconds of Steve’s absence felt like hours upon hours everyone knew that this was another loss. Instead of the brutality of loss in the battle, this type of loss was disguised in a different way that was a stark contrast to how they lost their other friends. Banner knew it as he stared straight ahead, Bucky’s facial expression that showed a solemn type of acceptance made it clear he knew, and maybe even Sam knew it.
