"We have to go back." I whispered again.

Bruce was worried. "I can't."

"The Avengers need you." I tried again.

"Billie..." Bruce kissed her and pulled her close. "Lets just forget everyone else."

"We can't. You're ready." Billie pulled him further out the door.

It was time.

Was he ready?

Xxx

Bruce was scared, and he couldn't do it if Billie wasn't at his side.

He walked confidently with her back into the Avengers Headquarters.

He squeezed her hand.

She was right. He was ready.
