Chapter 1: Lullaby

I have rewritten this chapter, making it a lot shorter because it had scenes (some sort of vision about the future concerning Black Widow and him) that could no longer work with either the movie plot or mine. Since I saw the movie a while back I thought it would be a much less disturbing and not so spoiler-filled intro. Yet, it's much shorter now, sorry ^^ Yet you guys know that the more the story progresses the longer my chaps get. So have fun ^^

There was none of the other Avengers around, so it was only her and him, in the cold forest. And she needed a way to calm him down, in order to save her own life. But now, she knew she could trust the Hulk. "Hey, big guy."

The green monster turned around to face her, anger still written over his face, but it was fading, good. For a moment he snarled at her, making her hide the shiver that crept up her spine, yet she tried to stay calm, going down on her haunches. "Sun's getting real' low."

He advanced, but stilled when he got close enough, looking from the opened palm back towards her face. The Hulk opened his own hand, carefully outstretching it to her and then turning his arm to touch her fingers his the back of hand.

Yes, he was… Natasha lifted her arm again, her own fingers touching his green skin gently, caressing his wrist, his fingers, until he quietly groaned at her and backed off.

The Hulk collapsed next to a tree, holding himself upright for a few second until he lowered his body, shrinking and turning back into Bruce.

She had done it. And something in her mind told her that the Black Widow was able to do even more for him.

He felt cold, exhausted but calm. "Did it work?" His first words when he finally regained control of his lips.

"Yes, it did." She gently touched his shoulder before helping him up and giving him a jacket to wear. "Come on, testing is over. Let's inform the others that we finally mastered the Hulk." Natasha said with genuine smile.

Bruce could only nod. Not being able that their test actually worked out. The Black Widow was able to talk the Other Guy down without being harmed. Banner sighed in relief. That was a little miracle.
