I'd hope Steve would have the space to do it alone, but I can see him clinging to Sharon, who'll have some sort of effed up guilt (she was brainwashed to fall in love with him, and betrayed Steve on certain levels), which either might draw them closer, or push them further apart.

This better be good, or else... someone here will be writing fanfic. I keep threatening everyone with bad fanfic... talk me down, somebody.
