Natasha's heart is beating faster than she ever remembers it doping before. Peter is going to get himself killed!
She watches as Hulk begins to shrink and he turns back to Bruce.
"маленький паук," Natasha starts once Bruce has finished turning back, "you lied to me." Peter turns to Natasha with a frown. His gaze immediately goes to the ground seeing Natasha's scared face. "You said you'd run if he was angry."
" крупный паук(Big Spider)," Peter starts in a soft voice, "h-he... I was scared he was going to hurt you. I can't lose you..."
Natasha sighs and wraps her arms around Peter, "all's forgiven маленький паук, but please don't do that to me again. I'm unsure what I just felt, but my heart was running a marathon, and I did not enjoy that."
"I'm sorry Tasha," Peter says softly, curling his head under hers.
Bruce stays silent, he doesn't want to interrupt them. Soon enough though, Natasha is turning to him with a glare, Peter placed behind her.
"What the hell was that about! You turning into the freaking HULK!" Natasha yells at him. "You could've hurt people!" She continues. "That was so irresponsible!" Bruce takes a step closer. Then another. "What were you even thinking!" Natasha is about to say more when Bruce plants his lips on hers.
Natasha hesitates a moment before softly, and very cautiously, kissing him back.
"EW! крупный паук!" Peter whines from behind her, "that's disgusting!"
Natasha quickly pulls away from Bruce and her cheeks turn a soft pink. "I - um," she stutters. What am I supposed to say? This is so new! Natasha shakes her head, coming from her thoughts to see Peter glaring at Bruce.
" маленький паук! Будет! (Stop that!)." Peter shoots another glare before looking to Natasha.
" он тебе больно!(he hurt you). You deserve better Tasha!" Peter argues.
"H-he... Peter..." Natasha sighs. Feelings. The one thing the red room taught her to avoid... "I need to go think. Stay with Bruce, please." With that Natasha takes off.
Peter wants to run after her, but he knows she needs alone time.
"Natasha!" Bruce tries to yell after her. "I want to be a family..." His voice lowers.
"You don't deserve her!" Peter snaps, turning to face Bruce. Peter runs and shoots a web, swinging into the air. Bruce sighs and watches Peter swing off towards his house. Bruce follows on foot.
Natasha hops on a building and begins jumping from roof to roof, trying to clear her mind.
She hears a scream and her body just takes her to the woman whom it came from. Natasha jumps down in front of her.
"Leave this poor woman alone." Natasha demands.
"No thanks, I want her money. And now yours."
"I think not." Natasha punches the man and the woman runs off.
The man punches Natasha back and the two begin fighting. Natasha isn't fully focused so it goes on longer than just a punch or two. Eventually she knocks him out.
The man is bloody and has a couple broken bones on top of being out cold. For a brief moment Peter's face flashes in her mind and she suddenly feels overwhelmed with emotions.
Natasha what's wrong with you? She asks herself. Get a handle on your emotions. Now!
To distracted by her emotions, Natasha doesn't notice the people entering the alley. Her heart is beating in her ears and her palms are beginning to sweat. The men are not oblivious to this.
Natasha barely has enough time to register she's been touched when a needle is injected into her neck. Natasha blinks, fighting to stay awake, but she's quickly losing this fight.
"We have her ma'am, but she wasn't as hard to catch as you'd said."
...
Peter sits on the roof seething with anger. Bruce doesn't attempt to try and calm him.
"Tony, it's Bruce..."
"It's about damn time you called. You've been off the grid for too long!" Tony says angrily. "I've lost so many people recently and you're off the grid."
"I'm sorry Tony. I do miss the lab and the Avengers..."
"What Avengers," Tony snorts. "Cap, Clint, Wanda, Sam, they're all fugitives. Natasha only talks to Peter, Rodey is hurt..."
"I'm so sorry Tony... I should be coming back soon though..."
