"What do you want?" She repeated. He looked uncomfortable and shuffled his feet. "Bruce what the hell do you want?" She snapped. "I have a party to get back to. BRUCE!"
"Nat."
"Don't call me 'Nat', its 'Natasha' to you."
"Please Nat."
"What?" Natasha snapped, she was losing patience with the guy who attacked her. "Why are you here?" Now she was curious.
"I wanted to talk to you." Bruce said and twisted his hands together.
"Then fucking talk!" She shouted all patience lost.
"Look, I know you're dating someone but I assume you broke up with him or vice versa since I watched you at the party and the only person you stayed with was Steve. It's not even your birthday so I don't know why you got a bunch of presents."
It's a good thing we didn't hire you because of your sight. She thought and was glad she wore a flowing dress to hide her small bump. "Bruce you're stalling, get on with it. I want to get back, they'll be wondering where I am."
"Natasha, I love you. Please, I'm so sorry and I'm going to guess you're single since you never mentioned a boyfriend. So." He stopped talking and kissed her.
Natasha's stopped functioning for a second but she then shoved him away and kicked him. "BRUCE! What the fuck?!" She shouted, her voice wavering slightly.
"Natasha, I still love you. I'm going to assume your single. So please. Give me another chance." She started to back up against the wall as Bruce began to advance. As soon as her back hit the wall she jumped up and kicked him, which was hard since she had a dress and a baby bump. She hit her target and he doubled over in pain.
"Get out. I have said this once I am going to say it again. GET THE HELL OUT! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN EVER!" She screamed and a few traitor tears slipped from her eyes.
"Nat please."
"Deal with these feelings yourself. I don't love you. I love someone else. Now get out." She whispered. "Please."
"No get out, or I will call in the Avengers and they will get you out. If you don't want me to repeat what happened here then get out or everyone else will know, especially Steve; he'll enjoy kicking your ass after the shit you put me through."
"Wait, why Steve?"
"He's my boyfriend. Get out." She whispered and Bruce turned and walked out of the tower. She fell back against the wall and more tears slipped from her eyes. She knew if she stayed here for longer then people would come looking for her. How would she tell Steve?
She shut her eyes and thought about what to do. The happiness she had felt mere hours ago had shattered and- and had she cheated? Shit, she was no good with relationships. What would he say? What would he do? It wasn't like it was that bad he just kissed me it's not like he attacked me anyway. But he still loves me. I love STEVE not him. She thought.
"Natasha?" She heard Peter's voice coming down from up the corridor. She nodded her head. "What happened?" Peter asked and charged to her side. "Banner. He- he came here and kissed me." She whispered.
"Oh my, Nat. Are you ok?"
"Yes- no- I don't know. I don't want to see Steve. I'm scared how he'll react. It's not my fault. Please believe me. It's not my fault." She whispered.
"I know. I know, come on, you can come up to my room. We don't have to go through the party. We'll go through the vents. After you."
"I'm wearing a dress." She quipped and Peter laughed as she regained her old nature. "I'll go first." He told he and she nodded. "Come on." He said and jumped into the vent.
She climbed up and followed him to his room. She dropped from the vents and walked over and stood by his bed. "Can I sit?"
"Sure. Do you wanna talk?" Natasha didn't feel comfortable talking to someone so young about this so she shook her head. "Do you have any homework I can help you with? Anything to take my mind off of what happened." She asked and Peter nodded.
"I have quadratic equations."
"Ok. Um so you have to…" She continued to explain what they what to do and managed to push most of what had happened out of her mind. She left Peter to do a few questions for himself.
She sat on his bed and wondered if she should tell someone. "Peter, do you really want to know why I'm so upset about what happened?" She asked and hoped he wouldn't agree. "Ok, but only if it's ok with you."
"It reminds me of what happened to me in the Red Room. I was attacked, tortured and more. I dunno why, it's just stupid that these feelings still haunt me. It really is stupid."
"No it's not. But I think you really need to talk to Steve. He needs to know." Peter said and hugged Natasha. "Please Nat. For me?"
"Fine." She laughed and Peter looked confused, "What?"
"It's just I never thought I would be taking advice from a 17 year old." She laughed and this time Peter joined in. "Miss Romanoff, Mr Parker, Captain Rogers is wondering where you are. What should I tell him?" The AI interrupted them and Peter looked towards Natasha who shook her head.
"JARVIS can you please inform Captain Rogers that I am safe but not ready to talk." The AI agreed and then left them alone.
"I know its bad but I don't want to tell Steve just in case he wants to go and attack Bruce… Not that I don't want him to." She added hastily when she saw Peter's reaction.
"But…?"
"But if I want to beat him up. But before I do that I want to let the realisation that I'm dating the one person he doesn't want me to, and eventually he'll realise that I'm having his child." Peter laughed and how evil she was being.
"I am a lethal assassin, you shouldn't be so surprised at how evil I can actually be!" She exclaimed and Peter laughed again. Natasha got of his bed and walked around the room and back to his bed.
"Natasha. What are you doing?"
"Just walking and thinking." She sat down on the opposite side of the bed. "What time is it JARVIS?"
"It is exactly 11:06. The party has finished and everyone is on their ways back to their rooms. Agent Romanoff, Captain Rogers has said he will listen to your request but will wait up until you come back." Natasha smiled and closed her eyes to stop the tears falling.
"Natasha do you want to go back to Steve or stay here?" Peter asked. "I'd better go back. He's worried." She said. "Night Peter." She said and slipped out of the door. "Night Nat." He called after her.
Natasha slipped out of the room and up to her room. She opened the door and saw Steve lying on the bed reading a book. "Hey." She whispered, he looked up from his book and smiled slightly.
"Natasha, are you ok?" Putting his book down she climbed onto the bed and sat next to him. "Do you want to talk?"
"Yes, but not now. I'll talk tomorrow. Sorry." Natasha said and changed into one of his tops. "Ok. Night Natasha. I love you." He whispered as they settled down to sleep. "Night Steve. I love you too." She whispered back and slipped into sleep.
A/N- Sorry for not updating yesterday. School was hell and I didn't have time.
