A sad smile touched his lips and, very carefully, he reached out, brushed a damp strand of hair away from her face. He couldn't stand beside her when she fought - no mere mortal could. But he could be here for her now.

“Sleep, Angel. I’ll watch over you,” Steve whispered, and tucked the bed sheets up about them both.
