Previously
"Oh okay." Clint said and suddenly Thor rushed into the room knocking Tony over
"Aahhh!" Tony shouted falling over
"Friends!" Thor shouted "I have terrible news."
Now
"What is it?" Steve asked as Tony got up from the floor
"My father said that they could not find out what has happened to Bruce." Thor exclaimed
"What!" Tony shouted
"What do you mean?" Steve asked
"They cannot find out what the tesseract did to him." Thor said "They said they have never seen anything like this before so it could be weeks, months, maybe even years before they find out what has happened to Bruce. Or they could just not find a cure for him at all."
"What!" Tony shouted "No no we-we have to find out what's wrong with him. We have to! He can't be stuck in a cage his entire life! We have to-"
"Tony!" Steve interrupted "They will find out what the tesseract did to him and find a cure. Okay."
"But what if they don't." Clint said and Natasha looked down
"We just can't think about that." Steve replied
"Ok" Tony said closing his eyes and putting his hands together "Just no one tell Bruce why we went to Asgard and if he does find out...don't tell him that they might never find out what's wrong with him and that he might be stuck like that forever."
"Ok" Clint said
"Are we still doing shifts with him tomorrow?" Steve questioned
"Yeah." Tony replied opening his eyes "He needs us now more then ever."
"Does Fury approve?" Clint asked
"Yeah he said he does as long as thier are two agents there with you or you have a gun with a sedative." Tony replied "Which I don't think he would trust anyone with a gun anyways. Well maybe Clint or Natasha but I don't know just...talking-to and spending time with him is the important thing."
"Yeah." Steve said
"Ok I'm going to bed." Clint stated walking to the beds
"Yeah me too." Natasha said getting up, still looking down
"Here" Steve said handing Natasha her crutches
"Thank you." Natasha replied
"Okay let's just all go to bed and think about this tomorrow." Tony said
"Yeah" Steve said
"Meet in here again when you guys wake up." Tony said to Steve and Thor
"Ok" Steve said as him, Thor, and Tony walked towards the door
"We'll be here" Clint said as Tony opened the door
"Ok bye" Steve said
"Bye" Clint replied as they went out of the room and the door shut
"What if Bruce never wants to see me or be around me again." Natasha said looking down
"Why would he not want to see you again." Clint asked
"The last time I was with him he hurt me." Natasha stated still looking down "And when he sees me all bandaged up and with crutches he might never want to be with me again in fear of hurting me."
"He might not want too." Clint said "But didn't Fury make a sedative thing for him."
"Yeah" Natasha said looking up at Clint
"Well then if you can knock him out before the Hulk comes out then he won't be able to hurt you." Clint exclaimed
"Yeah but Bruce wouldn't want to take any risks of hurting me anyways." Natasha stated looking down again
"Yeah well just don't think about it okay." Clint said as he laid down
"Okay." Natasha replied and she laid down too
"Night Natasha." Clint said
"Night." Natasha said and she closed her eyes
In the morning
"Hi" Clint said as he opened the door
"Hey" Tony said walking into the room looking around "Where's Steve and Thor? I would expect them to be up before I am."
"I don't know." Clint replied
"Hello" Thor said walking into the room
"Hey" Tony replied
"Where is friend Steve?" Thor asked
"I don't know." Tony said
"Hey sorry I'm late I just ran into Fury and we had a talk about Bruce." Steve stated
"Why would you run into him? Weren't you paying attention?" Thor questioned confused
"It's just a form of speech Thor. He just means that he met up with him unexpectedly." Tony exclaimed
"Oh" Thor said in realization
"Yeah" Tony said and turned to Steve "Steve what did you guys talk about Bruce?"
"Well they told him everything." Steve stated "Why we went to Asgard. What Asgard found out. Everything."
"Oh" Tony said glancing at the ground
"So now he knows everything?" Clint said
"Yeah." Steve replied
"Are we still going to take turns to visit him?" Clint asked
"Yes" Tony said
"Ok I will go see friend Bruce!" Thor said walking towards the door
"No we agreed that Natasha see's him first." Tony stated and Natasha glanced down
"Oh okay then." Thor said stopping
"Natasha it's ok." Clint said "Just go see him."
"Okay." Natasha said getting up nervously
"It's ok. You'll be fine." Clint said handing Natasha her crutches
"Ok. Thanks." Natasha replied and went towards the door
"Do you know where the holding cells are?" Steve asked
"Yeah." Natasha said
"Ok bye." Steve said as Clint opened the door for her
"Bye Natasha." Clint said
"Bye" Natasha replied and she walked out
Natasha slowly made her way to the holding cells where Bruce was
"Can I go in?" Natasha asked two agents blocking the door
"Why?" One of the agents asked
"It's fine Agent." Fury said walking towards them and turning to Natasha "Romanoff, are you here to see Banner."
"Yes." Natasha replied
"Okay." Fury said "One of you go in with her."
"Can I go in on my own?" Natasha asked
"You are injured. And he is dangerous." Fury stated
"I could bring a gun in with me." Natasha said
"Fine." Fury said while one of the guards handed him their gun "But shout if something is wrong."
"Okay." Natasha said taking the gun and tucking it under her arm
"You have twenty minutes." Fury exclaimed opening the door to the cells
"Okay." Natasha replied and walked in the door shutting behind her
Natasha walked through the hall past all the empty cells until she got to the end to the cell where Bruce was
"Bruce?" Natasha said looking at Bruce curled up in the corner of the cell
Bruce looked up at Natasha, tear stains on his face, but then looked away when he saw her in crutches
"Bruce?" Natasha said again "Talk to me. Please."
Bruce didn't reply but instead turned and put his head in between his legs
"Bruce." Natasha said putting her crutches and the gun down and sitting on the ground "It wasn't your fault. You weren't in control. Don't blame yourself. Please."
"Natasha I-I hurt you an-and I...I can never forgive myself after that." Bruce said looking down tears starting to fall "And I-It could happen again at any time an-and I can't risk that again. Please leave. I-I don't want to h-hurt you again. Please."
"Bruce you won't hurt me." Natasha exclaimed "I know you won't."
"I already did." Bruce replied looking down squeezing his eyes shut "I'm a monster."
"No your not Bruce." Natasha said glancing at the keys to unlock the cell
"Yes I am." Bruce said
"No. Loki's the monster." Natasha said turning back to Bruce "He's the one who dropped the tesseract."
"He's not the one who killed hundreds of people." Bruce exclaimed "I am."
"You weren't in control." Natasha said
"But it was still my fault." Bruce stated looking down "I killed them."
"Bruce just... don't think about that... please." Natasha said
"I-I can't stop thinking about it Natasha! I-I can see everything and-and the memories ju-just never leave an-and I can't I just can't do this anymore." Bruce said tears spilling out
Suddenly Natasha was in the cell hugging him
"Natasha please...don't." Bruce said pulling away
Natasha squeezed him tighter and Bruce gave up and hugged her back
"I love you Bruce." Natasha said
"I love you too Natasha." Bruce replied
