Alrighty, so, here's another part. Sorry for the delay, but it took me a while to write this. I had to get the inspiration to do it. And there might be a few more chapters than I had planned, a couple more. Just because I'm trying to work out a happy ending, instead of the one where everyone dies. I'm not kidding.

Hailey: I love you, my tol bean.

Tippy: I love you too, sissy.

Espied7: It is sad. But there will be a happy ending for everyone.

abstract0118: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

XDancingTillFlamesX: It's alright, love! It takes me a while to update!

crimsonbloodmoon: This one is taking a little longer. My inspiration is sucked dry as of late.

JLBriggs: There was a lot in that chapter, like this one, just cause I'm trying to end it quickly. Or, at least I was. But I'm glad you like it! I'll get more into Anna's powers in the next chapter.

Enjoy!

Tony rushes into the kitchen, just in time to see Bruce transform into the Hulk. Anna pulls Tippy to her feet, backing against the wall.

"Where is Thor when we need him?" Tony asks, as Bucky puts himself between the girls, and the Hulk. The Hulk roars at Bucky, but his eyes are on Anna.

Anna eyes the door in the kitchen, glancing back at the Hulk before, pulling Tippy behind her as she runs for the door. She almost makes it, when a chair hits her, sending her against the counter. She hits the floor, coughing, pain in her eyes as she looks up at Tippy, who's standing there in shock.

"Run, Tippy! Run!"

Anna struggles to her feet, ducking out of the way of a giant green fist, pushing her shell shocked sister out the door, running along behind her. She ignores the Hulk behind her, barreling down the stairs, trying to escape alive. Her adrenaline was pumping, every fiber of her being focused on getting her, and her sister to safety, even if it meant leaving the tower, and Sam. She could hear the Hulk, bashing through walls as she ran, cutting down a hallway, only to run right into his path. He roared, charging towards her, only to be distracted as the glass window at the end of the hallway exploded. Anna turned, covering Tippy as glass rained over them. A figure flies over them, hitting the Hulk, sending him flying backwards.

"Anna!" A voice yelled down the hall. Natasha.

Anna hauled Tippy back to her feet, trying to pull her down the hall. "Tippy, move! We need to get out of here!"

"No, Nabelle!"

"Yes, Tippy! We have to run!"

"No! I can stop him!"

"No you can't! I'm not letting you risk your life like that!" Anna tugs harder on her arm.

"Nabelle, I'm his soulmate. If anyone can calm him down, it's me."

Anna pauses, thinking over her words, before sighing. "Fine. But if something looks off to me, I'm getting you out of here."

"I can do this. You have to trust me."

Anna lets her go, and she runs towards where the Hulk is fighting off the newcomer.

"Bruce!" Tippy calls, stopping a few feet from them. "Bruce, look at me!"

The Hulk turns towards her, making Anna's heart pound in her throat. The newcomer, a muscular blonde with a hammer is hanging from the Hulk's neck, attempting to put him in a headlock.

"Bruce, it's me. It's your soulmate." Tippy tries to calm the giant black ball of rage, forcing white light towards it. "It's your Tippy. We just found each other. I don't want us to lose each other so soon." The black starts to recede slowly, but not enough to turn Bruce back. "Please. I know you're upset, but I'm here. I'm alive and in one piece. HYDRA didn't succeed. And they won't. We're safe from them now." The black recedes further, the Hulk starting to shrink back down into Bruce. "We're safe."

The tension in the room relaxes as Thor lowers Bruce to the floor gently. Tippy is at his side instantly, checking over him, making sure he's alright. Anna watches, proud of her sister for being able to do that. Natasha walks past her, carrying a blanket for Bruce to cover up with.

"Thank you." He says, letting Tippy wrap the blanket around him.

"Your timing is impeccable." Nat says, turning to Thor.

"I was planning a visit anyways. When I was alerted that Banner was turning, I thought I would come early."

Tippy looks up at the blonde stranger in awe. "Thank you, for helping."

"It is nothing, little lady." Thor says, helping Bruce to his feet. "Banner and I have gone toe to toe before. I was the only one who stood a chance, besides you it would seem."

Tippy blushes a little. "Well, I just figured...I'm his soulmate and all…"

"Aye. That bond runs deep, even through the Hulk, it would seem."

Tippy nods. "Yes. Even as the Hulk, there is still Bruce in there. Buried deep down. All I needed to do was reach him, and I knew it would be alright."

Bruce stumbles a little, and both Thor and Tippy steady him, their hands brushing. Tippy looks at Thor wide eyed, and Thor stares at her in awe.

"What was that?" Tippy asks.

"It appears soul marks work differently on Asgard, than they do in Midgard."

"Soul marks?"

"Aye. What you call soulmates."

Tippy stares at Thor as he explains what it means, all while leading Bruce back to his room. Anna watches them go, sighing. Her baby sister was growing up fast.

"Quite the welcoming party." Anna jumps, spinning around.

Sam holds his hands up. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you."

Anna sighs, shaking her head. "I thought you would have learned not ta sneak up on me!"

"Well, what can I say? I've never really learned from my mistakes."

Anna giggles. "Tha's right. You still tryna sneak up on me, even after I put ya in a coma."

"Well, I'm here now."

"Aren't ya supposed to stay in bed?"

"The doctor was a little disposed, I thought I'd sneak out to make sure you were okay."

Anna smiles, but as she inhales, pain rips through her side, and she stumbles.

"Anna?" Sam asks, catching her, gently helping her lean against the wall. Anna pulls her shirt up, revealing the dark, ugly bruise on her side. "You're definitely not okay. Come on, we need to get you to the med bay."

Anna shakes her head. "No. No, I'll be fine. Jus...Jus give me a moment."

Sam watches, amazed as the bruising starts to lighten, before completely disappearing.

"How did you do that?" He asks, still in awe.

"I-I don' know. I figured it out not long ago...I don' know if it works on other people...or jus myself."

"You know how handy that would be?"

Anna nods. "I-I've never had anyone ta try it on. I don' know if I could do it without accidentally hurting them worse." Anna looks down at her feet. "I'm not good at my abilities."

Sam cups her chin, lifting her face. "That's why you have us. We can teach you. Maybe Bruce can figure out how it works, and show you how to heal people, besides just hurting them."

Anna smiles a little. "Ya think?"

"I'm sure he'll try."

Anna looks down. "After today I think he'll hate me."

Sam shakes his head. "He's not going to hate you. No one will hate you. No one has reason to. Just like no one hates Bucky for what he did under HYDRA's control. Because he was under someone else's control. Those weren't his willful actions. Just like what you've done weren't yours either."

Anna nods, keeping her gaze lowered. "Okay. Thanks, Sam."

Sam cups her chin again, lifting her face, his eyes meeting hers. "There are those pretty eyes." He smiles, and it falls silent between them for a moment. "So, you wanna do something tonight? Like dinner? Maybe a movie?"

"Sam, you can barely walk!" Anna laughs.

"I meant in the tower. I can cook a pretty mean steak. Tippy can bring her soulmates if she wants. Make it a double date of sorts."

Anna smiles. "We can do that. If you're up for it."

Sam grins. "As long as you're there, I'm up for anything." Anna nods, and Sam's smile widens. "Alright. Then how about dinner tonight. Plan around 6:30? Tippy can come if she's not otherwise preoccupied."

Anna nods. "Alright. Dinner at 6:30 it is. Should I wear something nice?"

"You dress how you want. You look beautiful in anything."

Anna blushes again. "Thank you. I'll...let Tippy know. You should really get back in bed, now."

Sam nods. "Yeah, that might be a good idea. Especially if I'm gonna be on my feet tonight."

Anna spends the majority of the day with Natasha, after she overheard the word date, she designated herself as the chief stylist for Anna. Tippy was preoccupied, and declined the invite, a smirk on her face. She knew exactly what Sam was planning, or at least what he was feeling when he was planning it. Which made Anna a little nervous. More than nervous. Tippy had refused to tell her, leaving her hanging. Like she always did.

Natasha made sure Anna looked perfect, doing her hair and makeup, going as far as to order a dress for her, one that Natasha knew she would look stunning in. It was a knee length teal number that flared out at the waist. Not to dressy, and not too casual. She matched her makeup, letting her hair curl down to her shoulders.

"Beautiful." Nat says, as Anna looks in the mirror.

"Wow. I don' even recognize myself." Anna spins, the dress flaring. "I look like a hundred bucks."

"More like a million."

Anna smiles. "Yeah. Like a million."

"You ready for your date?"

Anna looks down at her shoes. "Is it okay to not be?"

"It's a big step. It's only dinner, but he's making it for you. I wouldn't expect too much. He'll want to get to know you. And he'll tell you about him. He might put his arm around you while you're watching a movie, but Sam's not the kind to pressure you into anything you don't want. He'll take it as slow as you want it to be."

"I never got close to anyone who wasn' family. I'm dangerous. My past in't all sunshine and rainbows."

"Sweetie, no one in this tower has a past that's 'all sunshine and rainbows.' The last person that's going to judge you is Sam. He used to counsel veterans with PTSD. He understands. Just start talking, it'll be easier than you think once you get started. And who knows? Maybe you need to get it all off your chest. Sam won't tell anyone. You can trust him."

Anna nods. "Thank you, Natasha."

"Of course. You know you can always come to me." There's a knock on the door. "Looks like your date is here. You ready?"

Anna takes a deep breath, before nodding.
