The air in the van is thick with tension and the hum of the engine. Yelena grips the steering wheel, her knuckles white, eyes darting between the road and the passenger seat where you lie unconscious. The chaos of the mission—your collapse, the burning fever, the way you melted in her arms—lingers like a bad dream. She glances at you again, her expression softening from warrior to caretaker. The city lights blur past, a testament to the quiet ride back to the tower, where she watches over your sleeping form, ensuring you’re still there.
