Summary;

This is what he has been searching for, he knows. There’s something tugging at him, urging him to find out if there is anything behind the door, if it will open for him. He looks around himself, unsure, but figures there can’t be any harm. No one seems to be taking any notice of him anyway. Why not go through the magic door and see if it possibly holds another world behind it? If nothing else, Steve will have something exciting to tell Nat.

So, he reaches out, the discomfort of the day's heat washing away as awe and curiosity take their place, and he grips the handle and pushes.

The frame gives. It creaks open with the piercing sound of unoiled hinges that belong to a door that hasn’t been opened in an innumerable amount of years. It takes Steve a moment to get over the fact that the door opens, but when he does, his breath gets knocked out of him. He finds himself clinging to the handle for support. It’s like a wave crashing over his head and then coming back up for desperate air, shock pushing at his chest.

For, beyond the door, there lays a glade.
