Checking in (set after Halloween event)

[juststeverogers]

In the aftermath of the Nightmare incident in the Nexus, Steve knew the most important thing in the immediate was making sure people were okay. Hell, he'd spent most of his time tending to Amelia's wounds such that by the time he was finished most of the cafe had cleared out. He's glad the rogue got the care she needed but he hasn't seen her since.

In fact, he's not seen most of them since. He waited a bit to see if he'd spot familiar faces in the Nexus, but with things quiet he takes matters into his own hands and sends out a message to several of his friends.

Hey, it's Steve.

I know you were involved in the mess during the Halloween party and I really want to make sure you're alright. I'm sorry I haven't reached out sooner. I wanted to make sure you got the time and care you needed after everything that happened. The coordinates to my apartment are listed at the end of this message.

Please let me know you're okay.

Steve is careful as he lays Viatorus down on his bed. Stands at the bedside once Runa comes back with a glass of water and the medicine again. Steve holds both while she sets about tucking Viatorus in and making him as comfortable as possible. He'll be there to make sure Viatorus takes the medicine and once he has Steve borrows a chair and places it at the side of the bed.

He holds Viatorus' hand and keeps talking about his world quietly until Viatorus falls asleep. He doesn't let go of his friend's hand once. He'll rest there until V wakes again. If they want him to become more willing to sleep when he's supposed to, first he needs to feel safe. At the very least, Steve can help with that. He gives Runa a hug and claps Isidor gently on the shoulder when he leaves the next day.

Steve's exhausted, but he's happier than he's been in a long time to have been able to help a friend in need.
