Chapter Six

That night after I had gotten into night clothes, I made my way to Natasha's room. When I got there, I knocked on the door and waited for about ten minutes before I realized she wasn't there. I turned and began to walk to the kitchen for a snack.

As I was passing Clint's room, I heard Natasha's voice say, "I should probably get back to my room. Keiland is supposed to be staying the night tonight and I need to get ready."

"You should just stay here with me tonight. Keiland will understand. You need to just stay here and cuddle." I then heard Clint's voice say.

I left after that and continued my track to kitchen. I grabbed the last dark red apple from the bowl on the marble counter top.

"Jarvis, make a note to buy more apples." I said.

I didn't wait for a reply as I returned to my room. As I was passing Thor's room I could hear a conversation he was having. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I again heard my name.

"Keiland is nice. No, Jane. I have not. You ended things with me, did you not. Then, you should not care what my relation to Keiland is. Of course. Tomorrow, I'll be there." His smooth voice traveled through the dark oak door.

I thought I would have felt a little upset that he was getting back together with his ex, but I wasn't. I knew there was something missing last night when he was holding me, I just don't know what. I returned to my room and laid down for about an hour and yet, I still hadn't fallen asleep. I remembered Tony telling me that he and Bruce would usually stay in the lab until the early hours of the morning. I put on my purple silk robe over my night clothes and put my slippers on my bare feet.

I had made it down to the lab silently and looked around the white space. I didn't see any indication that my best friend or his "Science Bro" , as he calls him, were there. As I began to walk away defeated, I got very light headed and the next thing I remember, I am falling to the ground.

I then began to get some sort of vision. At first, it was what looked like a small town in New Mexico, but deserted. I walked around the town and still saw no one or anything but empty buildings. I walked into a little shop that had a worn out sign on top that looked like it used to say "Flowers". There were dead flowers everywhere and to be honest, it gave me a melancholy feeling standing in it. I left there as soon as I could, still trying to figure out what exactly was happening. In the distance I heard a woman yell. I ran in the direction of the yell as fast as I could.

The setting seemed to completely change as I ran. What used to be desert had turn into luscious green trees. They were so pretty that I almost forgot what I was doing. That is, until I heard the yell again. Whoever was yelling sounded pretty terrified. I rounded a cabin and saw a woman in her early twenties lying on the ground. She had dark brown hair and green eyes the color of the trees around us.

She looked up at me terrified, "Help me. He's a monster," she whispered almost incoherently.

"Who is? What's your name?" I asked, trying to calm her down. Before she could answer my question, I heard the almost deafening roar of something that sounded way too big to live in the forest surrounding.

As I looked around this mysterious dream land, all I could think is, "What is happening? Is this some weird new power?" Before I could even remotely formulate an answer, a giant green man came into view. My first thought then was, "Oh my gosh, so this is what Hulk looks like." I then realized that he was obviously upset about something or he wouldn't have "Hulked" out. I don't know what was running through my mind as I barreled toward the bigger version of the man I've met. The next thing I could tell, he had bent down and had his hand on the ground. I stepped on and he lifted me to his ear. I whispered, "Wake up Bruce. It's only a dream." I don't know why I said what I did, all I do know is that a few seconds after I said it I blacked out again.

I woke up to an unfamiliar scent. It smelt amazing, like tea leaves and freshly cleaned clothes. I opened my eyes seeing a dark purple sheet draped across a king sized bed. The room surrounding me was clean and tidy. There wasn't much to it. It looked as though it was only used for sleeping. I pulled the duvet down off my body and brought my knees to the side of the bed and stepped into my slippers that were neatly sat next to the bed. I stood up and stretched. As I was stretching I heard Tony calling for me from somewhere in the tower. I stepped out of the room and bumped right into Tony.

"Sunshine? Why were you in Bruce's room?" He asked. That's who's room I was in Bruce's. I still don't know why, but at least I know where I was. A look of realization hit Tony's face hard. "You and Bruce? Nice Keiland! Go Bruce!" He yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Wait, what?" I said. Tony thought that Bruce and I…That we.. I don't even know what he thought. But I can tell you that whatever it was, wasn't something appropriate. I mean, he's Tony.

"What are you talking about Tony?" Bruce said as he walked into the hallway from the elevator. His milk chocolate brown hair was disheveled and his coffee brown eyes were filled with sleep.

"I'm talking about the fact that you hooked up with Keiland last night!" He looked as though he had just won four billion dollars.

"What?!" Bruce and I yelled at the same time.
