''Be careful ok?''
''You act like I'm not,'' she smiled at him
''We both know that you not,'' he smirked at her, ''I'm sorry I can't go with you.''
''Captain will need you more than me. And plus, I have bodyguard,'' she turned behind her. Bruce was talking with Tony in his new big form.
''When we get back and everything will be fine you will go with me on farm. Laura with kids would love to see you.''
''They won't remember me,'' Nat smiled sadly.
''They can't forget Auntie Nat. We'll invite everyone.''
''Ok,'' they hugged.

Clint took her hand and went together to the team. Everyone is standing on place in their new uniforms, except Bruce.

''Where is your green friend?'' Nebula asked.
Before anyone could say anything Bruce came back in suit. This time he was missing green color and few meters.
''Bruce?'' Tony asked.
''I thought this way will be better for travelling. For piloting. And for... everything else,'' he rubbed his neck in shy way and came into ring of his buddies, next to Clint.
''This thing... isn't permanent?'' Scott asked in awe way.
''I can control it. But for these moments I have few injects with serum.''
''Ok everyone understands,'' Steve interupted their conversation, ''Everyone know their missions? Got stones back and try to avoid possible parallel mistakes. You all have got only one try.''
''Here is comeback station,'' said Tony and pointed beneath him.
''Ready?'' asked Rocket.
''Who thought that talking raccon will be in our team,'' giggling Rhodey said.
''3,2,-1.''

SPACE

Their space ship was floating between miliards stars. Bruce was piloting and Nat was next to him
''I'm sorry,'' he said next to Nat. She turned to him for better view but his view was for ahead. She waits for his next sentence.
''I'm so sorry how this turned out. If there was choice how to take time back I would make it,'' his sight was down.
''Well technically you can,'' he looked at her and she smiled.
''You know how I mean it,'' sadly tilted his head.
''I know and I don't blame you. It happened was what happened.''
''I hurt you. That was the last thing I wanted to do to you.''
''You didn't hurt me. Some time has passed and I moved on. I'm glad that you found peace with Big Guy and you are happy.''
''I wish I can say the same about you Nat...,'' he turned his hand for better acces to squeeze her hand.
''I missed you... after all these years...,'' she took his hand and kissed back of it.
''When we get back I want to run with this... with you. I don't wanna wait anymore. If you want.''
''How far we can...,'' she smiled softly.

VORMIR

''Damn it! Even Avengers Tower hadn't so many stairs...,'' said Nat on top of the mountain. Bruce was few second behind her.
''Gosh! My breath... I can't breathe, wait a sec,'' he tried to catch his breath. Nat was grinning at him and came to him to help him..
''What now?''
''We must to find Soul Stone...'' informed Bruce.
''I'll like to help you,'' there was voice behind them.

Both of them quickly turned back and Bruce came near to him so he could hid Nat behind him.

''Who are you?''
''Stone keeper. You came for the stone but you don't know what you must sacrifice.''
''What are you talking about?'' Nat make few steps closer.
''Daughter of Ivan.''
''If you say so...,'' she rolled eyes.
''If you want to get the stone you must sacrifice something you love the most.''
''Soul for soul,'' Bruce mumled. She looked at him and Bruce squeeze her hand.

They were sitting on rock next to each other and try to think better solution.

''This is absurd! There must be other option!'' angrily stood.
''We can't get back without the stone. Bruce. We both know what we have to-''
''No! No, finally everything went well. I won't let it go,'' he turned his back to her. This view from mountain was amazing.
Natasha stood up and came to him. She hugged him around the waist and put her head on his backs. Bruce sighed and cought her hands in his.
''I'll do it,'' she mummled into his backs.
Bruce turned around with tears in his eyes. He took her hands.
''No... I don't let you do that. I will go.''
''You finally found peace and want to throw it all away? ''
''I fought with him for 13 years. This is the chance to kill him and I avenge everything what he done. Please let me do it.''

She couldn't hold her tears anymore. He wiped them away with his thumb and put his forehead to hers. After moment he came to the edge and looked down. When he turned back, Nat was standing right behind him.

''It's my turn.''
''You owe me nothing Tasha. So many people are waiting for you, for me no one. Please don't make it harder,'' strong arms hugged her.
''Who will I wait for?'' she buried her head into his shoulder. Bruce looked up for last sight into her eyes. With thumb he run over her cheek.

''I never stopped to adore you,'' Bruce tilted his head for kiss. Nat kissed him back. She tried to push Bruce away from the edge for her attempt to jump down. She withdraw from his embrace and push him away. She made few steps forward but his hand catch her leg and take her down. Bruce stood up and come to the edge. He looked down and started leaning forward. When he started feel fresh air around him, her hand catch his and save him from fall. He turned his head and pleased her with his eyes to let go of him. And her eyes pleased him with plea.
''Don't hurt me again,'' she argumented. Nat pulled him closer. His heels levitated in air and his toes were standing on the end of the edge. Bruce stretched his arms out for hug but when she was close he pushed her away. Nat fell backwards and he lost his balance. He sent her last smile and then disappear from view. She couldn't hold her tears and smacked ground with fist. Sky above her darked and then she sat in water with orange stone in her hand.

EARTH

Everyone came back and stood in circle as before. Tony was first to noticed.
''Nat. Where is Bruce?''
She collapsed to ground. In few seconds Clint kneeled beside her.
''No...,'' whispered Tony. He sat on the floor and shook his head in disbelief.

Between members of the team there was silence. For their friend, member of family, co-worker and partner. For Bruce Banner. Hero who sacrifice himself for his family and his girlfriend. After all of this he hurt her but in that most forgiving moment.
