Elizabeth's POV

"Ma'am we are approaching headquarters and will be landing in just a moment's notice. Agent Coulson is waiting to escort you." All I could do was nod, I was so close to seeing Bruce again. It felt like hours until the jet landed, when it was really a few moments that the co-pilot said it would be. The door opened and a man stepped in.

"Miss Beckener, I'm Agent Coulson, I'll show you to your room and then Director Fury would like to speak to you on the bridge. Follow me please." I did the only thing I could do, I followed him in the gigantic ship.

I followed Agent Coulson through twists and turns until we stopped in front of a door.

"This shall be your room Miss Beckener."

"It's Elizabeth. Where is Bruce's room?"

"Down the hall three rooms to the left."

"Well, why don't we save the trouble and you show me his room and forget about this one?"

"I'm sorry ma'am that would be inappropriate of me to do so."

"As I see it once I see Bruce again, this room won't be needed. He is my fiance for gods sake and last time I checked we weren't under my mother's roof therefore it is appropriate Agent Coulson."
"Miss Beck-Elizabeth, that's not protocol."

"Agent just stop, I'm not in the mood, the least you people can do for splitting my fiance and I up for a year is to accommodate this one simple request." By now Agent Coulson felt there would be no point in arguing with me, probably to save time. He just turned and showed me to Bruce's room and let me get situated a bit before escorting me to Fury.

I wasn't paying a lot of attention to where I was going and lost track of Coulson and ended up running into a metal man?

"Woh there gorgeous, no need to be swept off your feet by my charm, I'm taken." The metal man said helping me up.

"Oh yes, that's what happened alright." I said sarcastically, while the man is now staring at me.

"No matter, I'd make an acception for a young thing like you." He flirted sending a wink my way. I couldn't help but gag a bit.

"Sorry Tin can, I'm happily taken and he's more of a man than you are."

"Oh, how you wound me so. But I beg to differ, I'm Tony Stark and no one is more a man than I." So this is the infamous Tony Stark, just as the tabloids portrayed him to be. What really irked me was he swung his are around my shoulders trying to pull me closer.

"I suggest you remove your arm, my fiance is a jealous man and can become extremely angry when provoked just right. Now if you'll excuse me Mr. Tin can, I'm needed else where." I shrugged his arm off and went in the direction I hoped Agent Coulson went.

"There you are I turned around and you had vanished. This way please, and stay near me, we don't want anyone to shoot you for unauthorized personnel." Oh god, I really hope he was joking. We finally made it to a room which I gathered as the Bridge, from the bridge like features. I could see Director Fury standing there with a woman whose name tag said Hill.

"Miss Beckener, nice to see you made it here on time. We already discussed why you and Dr. Banner are here and your part in it all." I just nodded my head.

"Good Dr. Banner will be here momentarily." Fury said before he left the room with Agent Hill. I turned around to talk to Agent Coulson, but he had disappeared as well. So I sat in one of the swivel chairs and turned it so I could see outside the windows opposite the door.

"Hey, you! What are you doing here, authorized personnel only." I turned my head so fast the chair turned my body and almost threw me to the ground. Standing in front of me was a woman who looked like she could beat my ass with an eyelash, a long blond haired man who looked literally out of this world, and a man dressed like Captain America stood behind her.

"I-uh-Director Fury told me-uh-" Thankfully I was interrupted by someone.

"Why are you all huddled by the door?" Wait, I knew that voice.

"Bruce?" The man was finally able to make his way into the room and was most definitely my Bruce Banner. When I said his name his head snapped up.

"Lizzy?" I could only nod, but once he started towards me I flung myself against him.

"Oh, Bruce. I've missed you so much. I love you, oh Bruce." Bruce held me back just as tight, but was still stunned.

"Lizzy, but how, why, what?"

"Fury need I say more?" He just shook his head.

"Oh Lizzy." He then crashed his lips upon mine. Something I have missed for a year now.

"Sorry to break this moment up, but who the hell are you ?" The same lady who yelled at me before stated.

"Oh um." I blushed looking at her and back to Bruce. "I'm Elizabeth Beckener, Bruce's fiancé, that is if he'll still have me?" Bruce looked shocked and grabbed my left hand which held his ring that I hadn't taken off once. I think I got my reply when he once again placed his lips on mind.

"It still doesn't explain why you're here."

"Because I brought her here Agent Romanov. " Fury said while walking into the room once again. We all sat down, well except for Bruce he stayed standing behind me with his hands on my shoulders, as if I would disappear. They began to talk about this Loki guy and something called a Tesseract, which is why they have brought Bruce here. When who I learned was Thor brother of Loki defend Loki against Bruce who was calling him crazy. Thor's defense was to say Loki was adopted. I'm slightly glad everyone was focused on this so they didn't see me smuggle my chuckles. Bruce had begun to pace behind me, but he subconsciously didn't stray too far.

I was too focused observing Bruce that I just barely noticed that Tony Stark walk in. He and Bruce started to speak complicated science, if I didn't know any better I'd say they were a match made in...science? They all continued to discuss the plans, but since I wasn't directly involved I sort of zoned out again staring at Bruce. Until Fury dismissed everyone and Bruce walked back over to me so we could go to the lab he has been using. This is when Tony Stark noticed my presence.

"Ah, this is where my young lady disappeared to, now remember I'm not used to being said no to, fiancé be damned." I felt Bruce tense up a bit and just smiled.

"Well, Tin can since you can't take no from me, take it from my fiancé."

"I don't see anyone here, so what do you say?" Bruce now stepped in front of me.

"I say leave my fiancé along Stark." I now leaned over Bruce's shoulder.

"I told you my fiancé can become extremely angry when provoked and you didn't believe me." The look on Stark's face when he connected the dots was priceless.

"Touche, Pepper would own my balls anyways. Fair played." I put my hand on Bruce's shoulder for comfort.

"Good, now that that's out of the way, why don't we head to the labs, hm?" The three of us made our way to the lab with Bruce holding tight to my waist. Before entering after Tony, Bruce pulled me close and pressed his face in my hair.

"Oh, how I missed you Lizzy. How I regret you not being able to contact me, but a few letters here and there. How much I felt it wasn't fair to you, especially fo you to wait for me to come back who knows when."

"Bruce, I've told you you're never gonna get rid of me, you're stuck with me for life." I kissed him and we both smiled before walking into the lab where Tony was pretending to puke.

AN: I know that it doesn't exactly follow the events of The Avengers, but I'm going to tweak it a little to fit my purpose.
