Previously
"Bruce." Natasha whispered as Bruce rubbed his eyes
"Natasha?" Bruce said as he slowly opened his eyes
"Bruce." Natasha said as she jumped forward and hugged him
"Natasha." Bruce whispered as he hugged her back, breathing in her scent slowly
Now
They stayed like that for a few moments until Bruce slowly pushed her away
"Natasha...What happened?" Bruce asked as he sat up but Natasha stayed silent "Natasha..."
"...You turned into the Hulk." Natasha said
"What happened?" Bruce asked again
"You attacked us." Natasha stated
"Oh." Bruce replied, looking down "Did I hurt anyone?"
"Please...tell me." Bruce said after a few silent moments
"...You threw Tony and Steve across the room and..." Clint started
"What? What happened?" Bruce asked worriedly
"It's fine Bruce. It's just a scratch." Tony exclaimed
"Show me..." Bruce said
Tony and Steve lifted up their shirts to reveal thier stitches and Bruce looked away and squeezed his eyes shut
"It's fine Bruce. We're getting them out tomorrow anyway." Tony stated
"But stitches take multiple days to heal..." Bruce said a little confused
"...How long has it been?" Bruce asked after a few moments
"Bruce-" Natasha began
"How long has it been?" Bruce asked again
"...Four days." Natasha whispered and Bruce put his head into his hands and breathed in deeply
"Bruce?" Natasha said
"Did anyone else get hurt?" Bruce asked, looking forward at Natasha
"Bruce-" Natasha sighed
"Tell me Natasha." Bruce said
"...A few S.H.I.E.L.D agents and Loki but that's it, it's fine Bruce." Natasha replied
"...How many casualties?" Bruce asked
"Bruce-" Natasha started
"How many?!" Bruce interrupted
"...Seventeen." Natasha stated after a couple moments and Bruce squeezed his eyes shut and put his face into his hands
"Bruce?" Tony asked "You alright?"
"Yeah." Bruce replied as he stood up slowly
"You shouldn't stand up." Tony stated and tried to push him back into the bed
"No. I'm fine." Bruce replied and staggered to the wall "...I'm fine."
"Bruce, you should really be resting." Tony said
"No." Bruce replied "You the one who needs to rest, not me."
"Bruce. I'm fine." Steve said
"No your not." Bruce stated "I hurt you."
"Really. I'm fine." Steve exclaimed
"I am too." Bruce said and staggered back to the bed, almost falling over but getting caught by Tony
"Your really burning up." Tony exclaimed as he helped Bruce back on the bed
"I'm fine." Bruce replied and then looked around the room "Where are we?"
"We're in our room where we sleep." Clint said
"Isn't this Steve's bed?" Bruce questioned as he looked at the bed
"Yeah." Tony said "We couldn't put you in yours because it's covered in blood."
"Why?" Bruce asked
"When me and Steve came in here after getting cut we went on your bed not knowing it was yours and got blood all over it." Tony exclaimed "Sorry."
"No, I'm the one who should be sorry...I can just sleep on the floor, it's fine." Bruce said
"No. It's fine Bruce, really. I've slept on the ground before." Steve replied
"It's not good to sleep on the floor with stitches." Bruce stated "And I've been sleeping on the floor of the cell anyways so I'm fine with it."
"Bruce." Natasha said
"It's fine Natasha." Bruce stated
"So, the last thing I remember is being in the cell with Natasha and then everything went black...And then next thing I new I woke up with people pointing guns at me but then everything went black again." Bruce said after a few moments "So did you use both of the sedatives?"
"Well about that." Tony started "We used one of them but the other one got destroyed."
"How did you get me back then?" Bruce asked
"We made a new one." Tony said
"Oh." Bruce replied
"Yeah. It was a lot of work but we did it." Tony said "It was actually kind of fun."
"Wait. You made a new one as in a completely different sedative." Bruce said
"Yeah." Tony replied and glanced at a drawer where the sedative was hidden
"Why would you make a completely different sedative?" Bruce asked
"Because the other one didn't work." Tony stated, looking back at Bruce
"What do you mean it didn't work?" Bruce said
"When you woke up again and turned into the Hulk they shot you with the sedative but it didn't effect you again." Tony exclaimed "It was the same with Thor's hammer and lightning. It's like the Hulk builds immunity to things that hurts him or knocks him out so that the next time he goes up against it it doesn't effect him."
"So, if we use the sedative on the Hulk again do you think it will work? Or do you think it won't because he might have builded an immunity to it." Clint said
"I don't know." Tony replied "But Thor has used his lighting on the Hulk multiple times and it has knocked him out, so it might work or it might not."
"Well I hope it does if the Hulk comes out again. Or we would be in trouble." Clint said
"Yeah." Steve said
"So your saying that the tesseract is making the Hulk immune to stuff that can hurt him?" Bruce questioned
"Maybe. I mean, we don't know for sure but..." Tony said
"How else did the tesseract affect the Hulk?" Bruce asked
"Well it made him bigger, stronger, and...well one of the only reasons that he is attacking us is because the tesseract made him forget about us." Tony exclaimed
"What?" Bruce replied
"Yeah." Tony said
"I do not think that we should talk about the bad things the Hulk has done." Thor exclaimed
"Yeah." Clint said "Wasn't our plan just to talk to Bruce slowly and not tell him to much so that he wouldn't freak out and turn into the Hulk again."
"Yeah. But we promised not to lie to him either. And all these things we're telling him he's asked for." Tony replied
"Oh...yeah." Clint said
"Oh!" Tony shouted after a few moments
"What?" Steve said, turning to Tony
"I totally forgot about Pepper!" Tony said "Oh she's probably so worried, and she's probably also freaking out right now wondering where I am."
"I need to go call her." Tony stated and started to walk towards the door but then turned back towards the others "Are you guys okay with that?"
"Yeah we're fine. Go." Clint replied
"Okay thanks. And have Bruce clean up and take a shower or something. Because he's like, covered in dirt and blood and stuff so, yeah. Okay bye." Tony said quickly and then walked out of the room and shut the door
"So..." Clint said after a couple moments "What do we do?"
"Bruce has to take a shower." Natasha said
"No. I don't need a shower." Bruce replied
"Yes you do. Your covered in blood and dirt." Natasha exclaimed
"So are all of you. And you're also all covered in cuts. You need a shower more then me." Bruce said
"Fine. We'll all take showers but only after you do." Natasha stated
"...Fine." Bruce replied and got up "I'll take a shower but only if you guys take one after."
"Okay." Natasha said and walked over to a drawer and pulled extra clothes from it
"You'll need these. You can't walk around in ripped pants." Natasha said as she handed him the clothes
"Thanks." Bruce said
"You're welcome." Natasha replied and then Bruce slowly turned, and went into the bathroom and shut the door
"Okay." Natasha said once she heard the shower running "Thor?"
"Yes." Thor replied
"When should we head to Asgard." Natasha asked
"I suppose we should go as soon as possible." Thor said
"Okay." Clint said "We can head to Asgard after Tony gets back and Bruce gets out of the shower."
"Yeah." Steve replied
"Okay." Natasha said
"Hey guys." Tony said as he walked through the door a few minutes later
"Hey." Steve said
"Where's Bruce?" Tony asked, looking around
"In the bathroom taking a shower." Natasha replied
"Oh." Tony said
"So. How'd it go with Pepper?" Clint asked
"She was very worried. She yelled at me for the first couple minutes and then let me explain everything. She said to call her again when everything is over." Tony exclaimed
"Oh." Clint said "I guess it's good that she knows your alright now."
"Yeah." Tony said and then turned when the door to the bathroom opened and Bruce walked out "Oh. Hey Bruce."
"Hey." Bruce replied and went over and sat down on the bed
"You okay?" Tony asked as he walked over to Bruce
"Yeah." Bruce replied
"Hey Bruce?" Natasha said
"Hmm." Bruce said and turned to Natasha
"Here." Natasha said and handed Bruce something
"What's..oh." Bruce said as he looked at the glasses in his hand
"Found them in your drawer." Natasha said
"Thanks." Bruce replied and put the glasses in his front pocket of his shirt
"Oh and here's this too. Catch." Natasha said and threw something at him
"What's this?" Bruce said as he looked at the thing in his hand "A granola bar?"
"You haven't eaten or drank anything in days Bruce." Natasha stated as she walked over to a mini fridge in the corner of the room "You need something on your stomach."
"Here's some water too." Natasha said as she pulled out a bottle from the fridge and threw it at him
"...Thank you Natasha." Bruce replied after a few moments and then opened the bottle and started drinking the water
"Okay, so Bruce?" Tony said
"Hmm." Bruce replied as he finished the water
"We're going to go to Asgard." Tony stated
"What?" Bruce said
"All of us" Tony said
"No, Tony I...I can't go to Asgard. The last time I was there I..." Bruce exclaimed closing his eyes "...I shouldn't even be here. I should be in a cage."
"Bruce don't talk like that. You-" Tony began
"No Tony!" Bruce interrupted, squeezing his eyes shut
"Bru-" Tony started
"I-I can't go back! I d-destroyed half of Asgard! I k-killed hundreds of the people who live there! I'm-I'm a monster!" Bruce stuttered with tears pricking his eyes
"Bruce. Look at me." Natasha said and Bruce opened his eyes and looked up at Natasha "You are not a monster. It wasn't your fault. I understand that you don't want to go back but you need to so we can fix everything...Please."
"...Okay." Bruce said after a few minutes "I'll go."
"Thank you." Natasha said as she hugged Bruce
"No, thank you Natasha." Bruce replied as he hugged her back
"Okay. Clint go get Loki, just don't hurt him" Tony started
"No promises." Clint whispered under his breath
"Steve, you go get the scepter. I'm going to the roof with Thor to try to charge my suit." Tony stated
"Okay. Good luck with your suit." Steve replied and him and Clint left the room
"Natasha, you can stay here with Bruce. We'll be right back." Tony said as him and Thor started towards the door
"Okay. Bye." Natasha replied as they walked out and shut the door
Over the next few minutes Natasha and Bruce sat together in silence until Tony, Clint, Thor, and Steve came back with Loki and the scepter
"Hey guys." Tony said as he walked towards them in his new suit "We got my suit working."
"Cool." Natasha replied
"Come on, let's go up to the roof so we can get to Asgard." Tony said and they all walked up to the roof of the helicarrier
"Are you sure about this Tony?" Bruce asked
"Yeah." Tony replied and turned to Thor "Let's go."
"Okay." Thor said and raises his hammer to the sky "Heimdall!"
"I'm not so sure about this." Bruce said to Natasha
"It'll be okay." Natasha said and held his hand
"Thank you Natasha." Bruce said, smiling and then in a beam of light they were sent to Asgard
