Hey ya'll! We're getting close to the end! I know you hate it when I say that, but it's true! I hope you're still enjoying the story! This is a sort of filler, but it shoes the after effects of something this big. It's also nodding to the huge decision Minnie has to make.

Disclaimer: I only own Minnie!

He moved over to the table and reached out for me before pausing. "Honey," I said wearily. "I have never been so happy to see you so pissed off." I smiled and the Hulk smiled lightly. "I can't move." I said softly.

"Minnie... Hurt?" Hulk asked.

"No, they gave me something." I said softly. "I'm just going to need your help."

"Hulk come, help Minnie." he said and I smiled.

"Help me up big guy." I said and the Hulk gently lifted me off the table. I rested my head against the Hulk's chest, no matter what anyone else said, I knew I was safe there. Agent Barton and Natasha came into the hospital room. "He went out the other door." I said looking to the door the doctor had left through.

"Hulk, get her out of here!" Natasha called as people started shooting at us. Hulk covered my face with his arm, he carefully moved through the hallways where soldiers lay groaning and unconscious, some probably even dead, but I didn't worry myself thinking about them, the moment they had crossed my child was the moment I wanted them all dead. Helicopters were landing outside full of SHIELD agents. They managed to coax the Hulk to put me on a stretcher and let someone look at me. I looked up at him with a small smile.

"My hero." I said softly. Hulk grinned before he turned back to the building. "Bruce," I said softly. He looked back at me. "Don't leave me." I pleaded.

The Hulk stared down at me for a moment before he started to change. Someone rushed over with a blanket and a pair of scrubs. Bruce pulled them on quickly before he got into the helicopter next to me. The SHIELD doctor had given me something that was making me able to move again, though every movement felt like pins and needles I didn't care, I hugged him back as he wrapped his arms around me tightly.

The helicopter lifted off with us on it, and took us away from that hell. I knew the rest of the team would be okay. If they could defeat Loki and the aliens, then Hydra should be no problem.

"Are they awake?"

"I'm afraid not Mr. Stark, your assistant had suffered a very traumatic ordeal. She's very lucky she didn't lose the baby, and Dr. Banner is refusing to leave her side."

"Well he's already a more attentive father then my old man." I heard Tony say. I could feel Bruce's arms around me, holding me tightly. It had been a day and a half since the Hydra incident. We were in a SHIELD hospital room in the medical area of their headquarters in New York.

"Hey," I said softly and Bruce opened his eyes. "You okay?"

"Are you?" he asked and I shook my head.

"No," I said softly, and moistened my lips, before I rested my forehead against him collarbone. He rested his chin on top of my head and sighed. "But I will be." I said and lightly kissed his neck. He continued to run his fingers through my hair as I fell back asleep.

In my dreams I was back in that operating room, the doctor had them strap me down, but put my legs into the slings. I tried to thrash, but that drug immobilized me, he was the only one without a surgical mask on, the entire time I could see him grinning as I tried to scream, his hands came into sight, covered in blood.

"Minnie, Minnie, Wake up!" I felt Bruce shake me; I looked up at him, panting and gasping, before I threw my arms around him. "It's okay." I heard him say softly in my ear. I put my hand on my lower stomach and he put his hand over mine. I looked down at our hands, panting before I looked at him.

"I- They- He got the baby." I said and he pushing my hair from my face.

"No he didn't." he said. "It was a nightmare, you're fine. The baby is fine." he said. I rolled over and lay back on the bed. He wrapped his arm around me and we laid there.

"I tried to escape you know." I said softly and he tightened his grip slightly. "I got out the window and I got past a guard and into the forest."

"How'd you get past the guard?"

"I... Kicked him." I said with a shrug. He looked at me and I raised my eyebrows, making him nod. "I convinced a guard in the forest to let me go, but another one showed up and led me at gunpoint back to the building." I paused. "Where was I?"

"Virginia." he said. "In an abandoned mental institution."

"Nice." I muttered sarcastically. He chuckled and I shook my head as I sighed. "We need to talk about it." I said and he frowned.

"Talk about what?"

"The baby." I said softly. "Have you thought about it at all? Do you know what you want?"

"When I found out through the tape the kidnappers sent, I wasn't sure what I did want. But, when I was on the jet, on our way there, the only thing going through my mind was getting you back." He slipped his hand under my shirt and held it against my abdomen. "Getting both of you back." he said softly. "I-" he looked at me and nodded. "I know I don't have much experience with it, but, I want to be a family." he said and I bit my lip, trying to control the tears that were threatening to spill from over my eyes as I threw my arms around him. He hugged me back tightly as I clung to him.

The next day I was eating my breakfast when there was a knock on the door. In walked Agent Coulson who smiled at me lightly.

"How are you feeling?" he asked and I smiled lightly.

"Better." I said. "I'm still having nightmares though."

"I can send someone to talk to you." he said and I shook my head.

"No, Bruce has been great." I smiled lightly. "What can I help you with Agent Coulson?"

"I need to debrief you on what happened." he said and I nodded before Bruce walked in.

"Phil." he said and Coulson nodded to him.

"Honey, Agent Coulson is here to debrief me on what happened." I said and he nodded. "Go take your shower. Agent Coulson won't let anything happen to me." He got his clothes and went to the bathroom, I looked at Coulson who cleared his throat.

"Well," he said and looked at me. "Should we get started." he sat down and started to question me about everything I had seen. When we were finished he looked at me curiously as I sat there tracing patterns on my lower stomach. "You're going to keep it aren't you?" he asked and I nodded.

"I am." I said and looked up at Coulson. "Do you think I'm crazy? For keeping the baby I mean?"

"I shouldn't tell you this, but, the doctor you were talking about, he's still out there, and so is the person we believe was in charge."

"You're saying my baby is in danger."

"I'm afraid so Minnie." he said and I sighed deeply.

"So, what do I do?" I asked and he sighed.

"There's no easy answer, you stay in town, you become a constant target, I mean, they're patient, they'll wait for anything." he said and I sighed.

"What do you suggest Phil?" I asked and he smiled lightly as he sat down on the edge of my bed.
