"Focus on my heartbeat. Tune out everything else, touch and sound, narrow onto my heartbeat," Matt said, placing the man's splayed fingers over his chest.
Steve went still and Matt huffed in surprise when their heartbeats settled into sync. "Good. What do you smell?"
"Exhaust. Old blood. Instant coffee. A candle, apple."
"And what do you see?" Matt asked, the beats keeping steady time.
"There's a nest of spiders in your rafters. You have a scar on your hairline, 10, maybe 12 years old. From a rounded stick."
Oh. "Okay. Now what do you taste?"
Cap's heartbeat didn't shift when he pressed his lips against his mouth, even as Matt's ticked up double time.
"Baking soda toothpaste." Kiss. "Instant coffee, black." Kiss. "Animal crackers."
