Jarvis warn that today is going to be raining around in the afternoon but you told him that you're just going to enjoy the fresh air before it rains. Maybe it can even help you to wash away the haunted memory you've been having since the last turning session. SHIELD has granted an entry in mental training, you didn't agree at first but mental training would come in handy in your field of work. The thing is you didn't want to go through it. Facing your own dark shadows from the past is not really what you're looking forward to, you though being a SHIELD agent would give you a chance to protect people from getting hurt but how can you do it when you can't even face your own inner demons.
Backing down is seems weak to others and you didn't want people to see it. So you even volunteer, at that time you seem mad. Bruce even pulled you aside and asks if this is a right thing to do but you smiled softly at him and he let you go. You hoped he didn't because that moment that the session started, you regretted and you felt how eerie the place is. Your body couldn't help but shiver how real this place is, you start to repeat your mantra.
'It's not real, it's just a memory'
The rest of the session was a haze for you. The next thing, you remember is the shiny brown color of his eyes and asking if your okay. You couldn't stop your whole body from shaking but you just nod at his question. Bruce held you around your waist and took you home. He talk to Nick that you're not hit for any missions, you didn't refuse, you just didn't talk at all. He's starting to worry each day. You just remember that so much. The cold place, the blood and the scream, it was too much.
Closing your eyes, you felt something land on your cheek then you felt it again. For a second you thought for a second that you were crying but it was just raining. You didn't mind, maybe it would cleanse the nightmare away.
Bruce just got home from his errands when he asked Jarvis about you. Since you and Bruce have been staying at the Stark Tower.
"Miss, is out at the balcony,"
"But it's raining" he frowned and making his way to the balcony
"She said she needed sometime, I can't stop her" Bruce is relived that you didn't decide to jump but he knew your stronger than that, even smarter. Taking an umbrella, walking towards your location. Unaware of his presence, he walked up to you.
"Hey honey, you're going to get sick if you just stand there," you turn your head to Bruce.
"Hey," you replied softly, every time he's around it makes everything so much better. You smiled even more; you're just lucky to him as your boyfriend.
"Come on, let's get inside. I got dinner for us," Bruce grabs a dry towel and wrapping it around your shoulders.
"Get change and I'll get the food prepared for us," you went up to your room and getting change into dry clothes. You looked around yours and Bruce's room and your eyes land on a picture of you and Bruce. Smiling, happily at each other, this warms your heart. That session is a part of your past and nothing else matter now but what you have with Bruce and his avenger friends. You couldn't ask for anything more. Slowly made your downstairs and seeing the living room lit up by a dim light and candles all over the place. Speechless, you walk up to your boyfriend.
"What's going on?" you ask, your boyfriend. He smiled softly at you and making you warm and fuzzy inside. You weren't sure what to do but all you did is stand there.
"[Name] I know you have a rough time this week with training and I just want it to be a special day"
"You did not have too. I'm just glad your here. I really—" You were cut off by your boyfriend when he walk up to you, grabbing your hands into his.
"I know but I also want to ask you something," Your heart skip a beat, you might have a idea what this question is but you don't want to think about it at the same time that it might just make you upset.
"Bruce what's is it?" Your voice is laced with concern. Bruce just assured you with a soft smile on his face.
"[Name] I want you to know that I will always be here for you through thick and thin. I know it's cheesy but I would go through these nightmares with you and I love you and everything about you—"
"Why are you saying this?" why does it sound like he's about to break up with her?
"Because you're my girlfriend and I love you," he chuckles, "and also—" Bruce took a red box out of this dress pants, kneeling down in one knee and opening the red box.
You gasped, the ring is a princess cut diamond ring.
"[Name] [Last Name], will you marry this crazy boyfriend of yours?" you didn't realize you were crying. You chocked out a 'yes'. He slips the ring on your ring finger, getting up and giving you a kiss.
"I thought, for a second there you're going to break up with me" you confess to him.
Bruce laughs, handing you rice in box for dinner. You're favorite, yummy but simple.
"I'm crazy enough to even think about it," he smiles at you.
"Finally!" Tony walk in to the living room with a big smile on his face, "I've been waiting this for my whole life!"
"You're not the one proposing Tony," says Bruce
"I know but I can't wait to be the brother-in-law" Tony grins and Bruce sighs.
"This should be a one big happy family" you whispers to yourself and taking spoonful of rice as Tony just rant about the wedding plans.
