AN: So this was meant to be a one-shot, but I had many reviews asking to carry it on, so here we go. I don't know when in the MCU Bruce will be found, or if he will, or where he is hiding, or if he is even alive, so I'm making this up... it'll probably be wrong, but hey-ho. Suggestions are very welcome on where to lead this, I think after this chapter I might do a few from the view of the other avengers? Or just keep it with Tasha... Hmm...

Where are you?

I miss you. Bruce. I miss you.

You've been missing for a month now. You won't hurt us. Please come back.

It wasn't your fault. Bruce? Hey, we miss you.

Why are you doing this to me Bruce? Why did you disappear? We need you. We're missing a team member.

Everyone's trying to find you.

Everyone's working together Bruce. Like you always wanted. We're calm. Safe. Protecting the world and each other. So why are you not here with us?

It's the whole new team. We got some new recruits, don't know if you've been watching the news, wherever you are.

Do you know about Quicksilver? Pietro. It was for Barton, a sacrifice. I don't know why.

Our new recruits. A chemical mixture to join ours. Born to make chaos, and to protect the earth as best as we can.

Scarlet Witch. Is it her fault? Was it the fear, the image she put into your head? She did it to me too Bruce. And Steve. And Thor. My deepest darkest fears and memories. I was back there, back in the graduation ceremony. Ceremony. A beautiful word, to cover up a terrible act. None of us ever told the others what we saw in that dream.

Falcon, did you ever meet him? He has these wings, I think he made them himself. He can fly, and fight. He's a born protector. AKA Sam Wilson

The Iron Patriot, or Colonel Rhodes, or Rhodey. He was at the party remember? Trying to show off to Stark and Thor. It didn't quite work... He uses one of Tony's suits, a weaponised one. They're really close, but not as close as you two science bros.

Vision. Well you know about him, you helped to create him. He was the one who finished Ultron off in the end. He's stayed. We know he can be trusted, remember Mjolnir found him worthy, no matter how Thor tries to get around that, he is worthy.

Yeah, everyone's looking for you. Captain's leading the effort, organising it in between the training of the new recruits. I think he may also be using it as a training exercise, you know him, he'll use what he has to prepare them, so searching for you works for him, it has worked for all of us, as a training exercise, but it's real life and we all know that. It would make it a hell of a lot easier of you wanted to be found Banner! They're focusing their work more specifically on places you've been before, so they have revisited all our old battle grounds, our old hideouts and safehouses.

Starks using all these high tech gadgets to find you. Well, it seems to be mainly JARVIS, but... we let him believe it's all his doing. Video cameras, the internet, tracking gamma radiation. Hacking into all these big companies to 'borrow' satellites and cameras. But I know you, if you don't want to be found then you won't be, I know how difficult it was to get you right at the beginning of all this mess, but back then we had SHIELD, and had been tracking you for years. He doesn't lose hope though, it's something good for him to focus on. A few of his suits scout around for you, we know it's near impossible, but it's worth trying.

Thor asked Heimdell to look for you. We're waiting on that, as he's had to see to some business up on Asgard, so hasn't been to visit for a while. Surely he could find you though, if you wanted to be found.

Barton seems at a bit of a loss as to what to do. He wants to spend time with his family, which we all understand, he's nearly died too many times recently. So he buys as many newspapers as he can from around the world, looks up news online using Stark Tech, Tony's always updating our stuff, and does what he can from home. His kids seem eager to help him and us, Laura's been helping me quite a bit, well everyone apart from the traitor. Nathaniel, who's too young to do anything. He's cute though Banner, you should see his little face.

Me. Natasha Romomoff. Natalia Romonova. Black Widow. Aunt Nat.

I've been helping Steve, it's fallen to us to train new recruits, although I visit everyone else as much as I can, I really need you back Bruce. I know you wanted to run away, that I pressured you into staying. Tell me where you are Bruce, I'll come and find you, we can hide together. I can bring you back. Are you lost? The other guy would find a way out. Unless you're trapped as him.

Oh Bruce. Please come back, or make a sign, or something, so we know where you are. I'll come find you Bruce, but it's a little difficult when we don't know where in the world you could be. Please be alright. Fury thinks he's found the wreck of the quinjet, please don't let me find you inside.

Why don't you want to be found Bruce? No one blames you for what has happened. We all have our inner demons Bruce. All have our hidden pasts, memories we have tried and tried to forget.

But Bruce, we don't want to forget you, we want to help you. Which is why I'm going to record a message for you, we all are, and broadcast it to the world. So if you don't know how I feel now, you soon will, you soon will understand how all of us, the Avengers feel, and how the rest of the world feels.

Hey Bruce, it's me Tony. I want my science buddy back, there's no one for me to blame the explosions on anymore. Well, joking aside, to tell the truth we all miss you. Miss you so damm much. Can you please stop hiding your face away big guy. Damm you Bruce, why are you doing this to us?

Language Tony! Have you left this thing on Stark? Yes it's flashing. Oh that means it's recording. Bruce, you've made an old man resort to asking and begging you to come home, but we do miss you. Please, Bruce, I think Tasha needs you. I may be no expert on love, but it's obvious, even to me, that you two have it bad for each other.

What is this midguardian contraption? Man of Iron, help me please. I speak into it? And Banner will hear me? Okay. Banner, my brave comrade, we need you back, need you to fight mighty battles for us. Ow! What was that for Romanoff? We need you Bruce, your girlfriend misses you. Ow! Natasha! Leave me alone, I'm giving a message to your boyfriend!

Um, yeah, hey Bruce. It's Clint here, I managed to sneak the Mic away from those hooligans. We miss you, that should have been obvious from the previous messages. Mainly Natasha, she's not quite right without you here. She won't admit it though. I know. We all know she loves you, so Bruce, if you can hear us, please come back. We don't blame you, we would never blame you. Please.

So Banner. You've heard all their beggings. Now mine.

I know it wasn't obvious, nothing ever is with me, but I like you. I want you back here Bruce, we can run away together, I'm sorry I didn't let you do that, when you wanted to, but we were needed. We had to defeat Ultron, can you not understand that?

I'm sorry. That was unnecessary. So, where was I?

Bruce, you need to stop hiding, no one hates you. Please be alive, please don't be stuck in that Quinjet anyway, please have got out, please be you again, not Mr Green. Bruce. Please be alive. Please let us find you.

Bruce.

It is not your fault, whatever has happened was necessary, I know you find that hard to believe but Ultron had to be defeated, we had to kill his robots. And whatever happened with you and Scarlet Witch, whatever you saw, that's not you. It may have looked like the big guy, but it's not you. It's what you fear, and that is hurting others. You should know by now we would never let each other hurt anyone. We all know how to stop you Bruce, know each other's weaknesses.

Bruce. Why are you hiding? Do you mean to? Or are you stuck somewhere?

Bruce. Where are you hiding? Are you lost?

Bruce. Do you need a lullaby? Come and find me.

Bruce. I miss you. I need you. Please. Please come back to us.
