"Hey Bruce!"
A tall, long haired brunette woman with a bottle of alcohol in her hands called the scientist out from the crowd a little too loudly.
The Avengers were in the middle of discussing another plan against Thanos when Thor unexpectedly stepped inside the room along with a number of Asgardian warriors by his side.
"Valkyrie!"
Bruce, who was sitting beside Natasha on the couch, stands up and blurts the woman's name with equal volume out of surprise. Valkyrie walks towards the man to give him a hug in addition to her previous greeting. He pats her back gently as they embraced.
Natasha silently watches the scene in front of her. It's the first time she sees Bruce in the arms of another woman she's not acquainted with. It was very clear that they know each other well and their small reunion makes everything inside her boil.
"Oh wow! I never thought I'd see you again!" He enthusiastically says when the skinship ends.
"Yeah me too. I was a waste when Thor found me. Glad to know you're here too," Valkyrie replies with a wide smile on her face.
Natasha's eyes scan the woman from head to toe. Her heart is beating fast and her breathing is starting to shallow. She feels extremely bitter and she doesn't even care that she's staring at them for way too long now. Her concentration, however, was interrupted when she hears some murmuring beside her.
"Oh this is gonna be interesting."
"I know!"
She knows exactly to whom those voices belong to and as much as she hates to move her eyes away from what's in front of her, she quickly turns to her side to see Tony whispering something to Clint. Both men were startled and started to say random senseless things to each other. She glares at the both of them before turning her attention back to Bruce and his friend.
Thor asks all of them to move in closer so he can start to introduce the new additions to their team.
Bruce faces Natasha to offer her a hand as she stands up but she rolls her eyes at him and ignores him completely as she makes her way towards Thor.
"What was that about?" Bruce asks in confusion and the men close to him laughs.
"You my friend, are in a heap of trouble. Goodluck buddy," Tony says as he walks away.
"It was nice knowing you, Banner," Clint smirks and joins the others.
"What? What did I do?" Bruce was left alone, he was entirely puzzled. He was clueless. He stands there for another minute before the idea hits him hard. "Oh shit."
