Catching Up
A Mini sequel to Caught Out
Avengers: Age of Ultron/John Rain
Bruce Banner/Maria Atwood
Summary: He disappeared at the end of age of Ultron, and ran to the one person he knew wouldn't mess with either side of him...A person he'd had an attachment to before Black Widow.
A/N: So I found out Banners age (Whether it's correct or not who knows) It said he was born December 18, 1969. So I changed Maria's birth year for this and made it 1979, ten years after his birthday-so she's 36 years old in this.
Finding her was hard enough, Maria Atwood the assassin, Maria the rouge, Maria the former lover...She looked very surprised to see me to be honest. After I had let our relationship fall through and had started whatever it was I had with Natasha well...Maybe I shouldn't be so surprised about her being surprised. "I thought you died you dope." Maria said, standing to get a good look at me. "I needed somewhere to go without them finding me." Maria's cool blue eyes looked up at me with renewed interest. "Ah, so you've run away from them have you? I suppose I shouldn't be to excited about that." No, maybe not. But right now I was tired and just wanted to sleep it all away. "I just need time to get my head back on straight." She nodded. "I can help you with that one." She stood and grabbed her bag and the coffee she'd been drinking, "Come on then you big lug." She hooked her arm through one of mine and led me away from the small coffee shop I'd found her at.
You would think she wouldn't go about drinking coffee in a local coffee shop since she was a wanted criminal from several organizations. "You're the second person to ask for my help as of late." I looked down at her, blond curls obscured part of her face. "Ah, well...You're a very helpful woman." She smirked; "You won't say that when you see him." Him? Another suitor perhaps? I wouldn't be surprised if she had moved on after all. I was a bit older then she was after all. "So how did you find me? I figured I was in the clear and then you up and find me." I shrugged; "You're almost always in japan Maria, it's home to you-you told me that remember?" She nodded; "Yeah, that's true...How's the girlfriend?" If looks could kill I was pretty sure Maria would fry me. "We didn't quite see eye to eye." What ever Natasha had been to me was over the moment she...I shuttered, no. I didn't want to think about that."Ah, well that's too bad." She actually looked sad for me, then again how could you tell what she was really feeling at any rate? She'd been taught, much like Natasha had to conceal her emotions. Maria did it by faking other emotions.
She led him into a rather sparse apartment; "Hey Buck! You here?" I froze as the winter solider stepped into my sight, oh dear god-what the hell? "I'm here and don't call me that." Maria grinned; "Well I can't keep calling you Wes now can I?" He shrugged; "I suppose not." Maria got a devious grin on her face. "So, you two will play nice if I leave at any point in time?" Barns nodded and walked off, she glanced at me. "I've worked with him a time or two, lately I've been helping him figure out his past...We really haven't gotten that far since he came here." I wasn't sure how to take that. "Make yourself confurtable and for the love of god, don't call your girlfriend and make up with her while your here." Before she floated off deeper into the apartment, She wouldn't have to worry about that anytime soon.
