I think I broke my hand...

Lara felt her hand throb and ache badly but she wasn't about to let it show that, that hurt her. "You left me!" She stood firm, frown on her face as she watched him, with hands on her hips. Hulk had been been shocked when he saw her and even more so when he felt her tiny attack. His head bent to the side from her slap which of course didn't hurt in the slightest but left him stunned just by seeing her actually here. Did she hate him? The attack seemed to indicate so but why would she have come all this way if she hated him?

He hunched his shoulders and finally looked at her, after trying to stare at the ground to avoid her piercing gaze. "Sorry..." Hulk mumbled as he finally looked up at her. Lara saw the regret in his green eyes and her lip twitched as she couldn't hold the glare any longer.

"Will you leave me again?" She asked in a soft voice, afraid of his answer.

He shook his head no, if Lara didn't want him too he would never leave her again, Bruce be damned. He'd make himself stay angry forever if it meant Lara would be with him. That was all Lara needed as her hands flew to his cheeks and pulled him into a kiss, Hulk responded by kissing back and carefully placing his large hand around her smaller body.

"Are we-are we watching the hulk get some action?" Tony leaned sideways whispering to Steve who had caught up to Tony and was now politely turned away looking at the ground as Jason remained happy and oblivious as he continued to be in awe over his personal hero.

"Turn back into Bruce." Lara announced causing Hulk to snort in anger at her suggestion, his hand holding her more firmly. He had just gotten her back!

"I need to talk to him too Hulk." Lara said with a soft smile, placing her hand on his warm green cheek. "Don't worry. I'm not going away this time. I'll be here when you come back."

"Promise?" Hulk asked and it was the closest he had ever been to vulnerable.

Lara nodded, feeling tears start to well in the corner of her eyes. "Yeah, and we'll watch the stars again."

Hulk nodded, still unhappy about her request but less apprehensive about losing her again allowing himself to shift and shrink back down.

Bruce took a deep breath as he steadied himself. He was worried how Tony's idea would go and honestly afraid if Hulk acted out and did anything other then smash the chitauri wreckage. He looked up nervously and his eyes widened drastically when he saw Lara.

She didn't give him much time to be shocked as she reached forward and slapped him (with her other hand) if Hulk was getting her anger so was Bruce it was only fair.

Tony nudged Steve's side excitedly. "Oh man this is better then a Spanish soap opera. I wish I had popcorn." He grinned absolutely loving whatever was happening in front of him right now.

Lara ALMOST laughed as Bruce did the exact same thing Hulk had done. Staring at the ground afraid to look up at her with his shoulders hunched.

"Bruce?" She asked delicately as she hopped off the flipped car. "Hey, I'm sorry." She said softly, she forgot that Bruce could be so sensitive sometimes.

"Why are you here?" He asked, voice shaken and still staring at the floor and Lara was honestly hurt by Bruce's words. She was about to answer when Bruce spoke up again. "You were safe." He looked up at her and now it was her turn to be shocked as Bruce gazed at her like he was about to cry. "You were safe!"

"But I wasn't happy." Lara answered placing her hands on his cheeks. "Not without you both. Bruce I wasn't happy." She felt tears start to fall from her own eyes. "I love you."

Instead of responding Bruce gripped her hands tight and pulled her into a kiss, wrapping his arms tightly around her, trying to eliminate any and all space between them. Bruce pulled away when he realised where they were and that this wasn't exactly a good place to share this private moment.

He glanced back nervously at Tony and Steve and blushed. Tony let out a whistle and a wolfish grin while Steve had once again made it a point to stare at anything but them.

He drew his attention back to Lara, noticing his arms were still tightly secured around her. He really didn't know what to say, almost breaking into a sweat as he gazed at her with a mixture of fear and happiness.

"How about we start over?" Lara questioned saving the man from his own detrimental thoughts.

"If you'll take me back." He said quietly as he nodded.

"Just don't leave me again hey?" She suggested with a small sob, overwhelmed with her own emotion.

"I won't." And it was true, Bruce had every intention of keeping his word. He felt like he got a second chance at life having her returned too him. Bruce briefly wondered if Tony would let her stay at the Tower as well, or if she wanted him to return with her to wherever she had made her new home. Hell Bruce would even take her back to India if he had too, maybe not India though... Maybe somewhere nicer.

"There's actually something important I need to tell you." Lara felt no worries about telling Bruce about Jason now that she knew that both Bruce and Hulk had indeed wanted to stay with her.

"Hey Bruce!" Tony called out, interrupting their moment. "Brucey!" Tony was waving his arm like an over excited child before pointing to Jason in Steve's arms. "Is this your kid?! This is so your kid isn't it?!" Tony grinned excitedly. "Can I be godfather?!"

Bruce's eyes shot to his brow in confusion. Wondering where Steve had procured a child and why on earth Tony would think it his. Bruce couldn't have children.

"Hi Mama!" Jason called out, waving his pudgy arm, feeding off the excitement.

"Hey baby~!" Lara called back to him smiling, Bruce quickly turned to face her and she was honestly concerned he was about to throw up with the face he was making and how pale he suddenly got when he actually looked at what the child looked like.

"Oh yeah." She said almost too casually. "You boys are a father." She stood, letting him have his mental breakdown, watching the emotions play out on his face with mild amusement.
