Hello again! I am really sorry that I didn't update! I just had a lot of projects in school I had to do. But here is the next chapter! I hope that you like it!

"Yeah." Natasha said, running over to Bruce in worry, who was on the ground with tears sliding down his face

"Bruce I am so sorry." Tony said as he kneeled down next to him

"We didn't know." Clint stated

"Are you okay?" Tony asked after a moment, and then Bruce nodded a couple moments after

"Okay." Tony said and then stood up and gestured for the others to follow him over to the table, away from Bruce

"How are we supposed to get the blood now?" Clint asked quietly

"I don't know." Tony replied

"Maybe we can do it while he's sleeping." Steve suggested

"Maybe. But what if he wakes up?" Tony said

"We could give him a sedative while he's asleep so he doesn't wake up while we're taking his blood." Natasha exclaimed

"Yeah. That could work." Clint said

"What if his skin is really hot and it melts the needle?" Pepper asked

"That would be bad...But I don't think he'll be hot when he's sleeping. Well he might but he won't be for the entire time that he's asleep." Tony said

"Yeah." Steve said

"What if when we take his blood, the blood melts the needle?" Clint asked

"That...would also be bad." Tony stated

"Yeah." Steve agreed "...But that won't happen...right?"

"I don't think so, but we don't know what Killian did to him. Anything could happen." Tony said in reply

"Yeah." Clint said

"Let's just give him a sedative when he's asleep and then take his blood." Natasha exclaimed

"Okay, we'll do that tonight and then fix all of this." Tony said

"Yeah." Clint replied in agreement

"Okay." Tony said as the slowly turned back to Bruce who was still on the ground, fiddling with his hands while looking down

Tony slowly walked towards Bruce, the others slowly following behind him, and then knelt down next to him

"Hey bud." Tony said and Bruce looked up at him, tears still pricking at his eyes

"Do you want to go get some air?" Tony asked and then Bruce nodded "Okay."

Tony carefully helped Bruce up from the ground and then they went to the elevator

"We'll take the stairs." Clint stated

"Okay." Tony replied "Jarvis will tell you where we are."

"Okay." Clint said and then the elevator doors closed

"Come on." Clint said to Natasaha, Steve, Thor, and Pepper and then they started up the stairs

Scene switched to Tony and Bruce going up in the elevator

"You okay?" Tony asked Bruce after a few moments

Bruce nodded, still looking down and fidgeting with his hands

"You know you can tell me anything right." Tony said and Bruce didn't reply

"Bruce." Tony said and Bruce looked up at him slowly "Is there anything I can do. To make you more comfortable. To make you feel better. Anything?"

"I don't know." Bruce replied quietly after a moment

"Bruce..." Tony said "...How about you take a cold shower when we get back to the bedroom."

"Okay..." Bruce replied quietly

"And then you can get some rest, okay?" Tony said

"Okay..." Bruce replied again

"Okay." Tony said and then the elevator doors opened

"Come on." Tony said and then he helped Bruce out of the elevator carefully and they went down the hallway

"You're not as hot as before..." Tony said after a moment as he helped Bruce walk down the hallway, but Bruce didn't reply

"Okay. This way." Tony said and they turned and went into a big bedroom

"The shower is in there." Tony exclaimed, gesturing to a door, as he helped Bruce onto the bed "You can take one and then rest... you've had a long day."

"Okay." Bruce said in reply while fidgeting with his hands

"Okay...I'll go get you some clothes to change into since those ones are getting burned." Tony stated, looking at Bruce's clothes which had burnt holes in them

"Okay..."

"I'll be back in a minute." Tony stated as he walked towards the door

"Okay." Bruce replied and then Tony left

Bruce sighed and closed his eyes as he ran his hand through his chocolate brown curls, and then opened his eyes a few moments later and looked through the window at the partially destroyed city. He stared for a few moments at the wreckage and then put his head in his hands and squeezed his eyes shut while pulling at his hair.

"It wasn't your fault."

Bruce looked up to see Natasha with Steve, Clint, and Thor behind her, and then looked away

"Yes it was." Bruce exclaimed as he looked away from them at the ground

"No it wasn't Bruce." Natasha said again as she went over to him and sat down next to him on the bed "You weren't in control."

"Well you weren't there." Bruce replied, closing his eyes

"Yeah maybe she wasn't but I was." Tony said, walking into the room "And I saw the Hulk...he wasn't trying to destroy stuff...he was just fighting back against Extremis."

"And he destroyed Manhattan doing so." Bruce said, still closing his eyes

"Bruce..." Natasha said with worry and then he opened his eyes

"Why don't you just leave me alone until Extremis wins over the Hulk and I die." Bruce said as he quickly stood up, without looking at them

"...It would be better for everyone anyway if I was gone." Bruce said quietly after a moment as he took the clothes from Tony, and walked to the bathroom and shut the door and locked it
