Pyro and the Hulk (book 2: B. Banner X OC)

15

Were all back on the jet and I lean into Bruce's side hugging him tightly, Lilly was against my chest sleeping and Jace was sat on Bruce's lap curled into his other side.

Everyone was quiet as the recovered from Wanda's manipulation. Hill was speaking over the coms but I wasn't listening. Instead I was trying to improve everyone's mood, which wasn't easy when they kept fighting me. Clint was the one flying this time as Tony had a few injuries from fighting Hulk. I would heal him later, for now I was going to comfort my fiancé. 

"Hey, wanna switch out?" Tony asks Clint as he leans against the control panel. "No, I'm good. If you wanna get some kip, now's a good time because we're still a few hours out."

"A few hours from where?"

"A safe house" I turn to Nat at Clint's words and slowly stand up careful not to wake Lilly. Nat still looked as if she was in shock so I carefully place the sleeping Lilly in her arms. She remains blank as she automatically pulls the small girl to her chest. I watch as Lilly snuggles into her godmothers arms making Nat look down at her and give a small smile. 

She looks up at me and gives me a grateful nod. I place a kiss on both of their heads before re-joining Bruce and Jace. I move to sit behind him. Bruce lifts out son onto his lap and he leans back into my arm, my legs on either side of his as I give him all the comfort that I can to make him sleep without dreaming. 

It's early morning when we arrive and we all get off and walk up to the house together. Each of us are silent. Jace walks next to me while Bruce carries Lilly on his hip. I pull out my phone and text Nick to let him know to bring something from my office for me since I knew he would show up at some point to talk to us. He texts back immediately letting me know he will and I put my phone back away.

We all walk in when Clint opens the door. "Honey? I'm home." It had been a while since I had been here, Laura walks out from around the corner with a handful of art work. "Hi. Company. Sorry, didn't call ahead." Clint apologises and Laura looks over at us all. 

Clint introduces her to the rest of the team and Nat and I smile when we hear the running foot steps approaching. "Oof. Incoming." Clint crouches down ready to catch the two.

"Hi sweetheart. Hey buddy." The kids cling to him. "Did you bring Auntie Nat and Auntie Levi."

"Turn around and look" Nat and I say at the same time as she comes to stand by me. Lila jumps from her fathers arms and launches herself at me while cooper runs into Nat's arms. We smile at them and I kiss Lila's head before the kids switch over. Even with how old Cooper is I still manage to lift him up and swing him side to side making him complain with fake annoyance. I put him down and ruffle his hair while Jace and Lilly run over to Laura. 

"Auntie L!" She chuckles as the two hug her with extreme care as if they were afraid of hurting the baby. 

"Sorry for barging in on you" Steve states as he overcomes his shock and his manners kick in.

"Yeah, we would have called ahead, but we were busy having no idea that you existed" I roll my eyes at Tony's comment. "Yeah, well, Fury helped me set this up when I joined. He kept it off S.H.I.E.L.D'S files. I'd like to keep it that way. I figured it's a good place to lay low"

I hear a crunching noise and look over to see Thor subtly trying to kick the destroyed Lego house under the sofa while Steve watching looking completely done with the situation. 

I lean over my kids, who had yet to let go of Clint's wife, and give Laura a hug before kissing her cheek. "How you feeling?" 

"I'm good. A lot of kicking and cravings but no more morning sickness. My feet are swollen and by back is killing me" I give her an understanding look, I was the same at this stage. difference was I didn't have to run around after two kids at the same time. 

Nat comes over "I missed you. How's little Natasha, huh?" she asks as she places her hand on either side of Laura's bump with a smile. "She's... Nathaniel" Laura informs her with a wince. I watch with a smirk as Nat's smile drop before she crouches down and speaks to the bump "Traitor" Laura chuckles and I hold my hand out to Nat. She glares at me but I simply wink before she plays a $20 dollar bill in my open palm. 

I thank her and go over to Bruce. I smile as he automatically wraps his arms around my waist when I'm close enough. He had changed into an oversized light grey sweatshirt that made him look adorable. I rest my head on his shoulder for a moment and sigh before moving my arms around his neck and kissing him. We both pull away laughing when we hear all four kids let out a loud "ewww!!"

Clint and Laura laugh with us while Nat rolls her eyes and Tony and Steve smile. Thor still looked bothered by something, as if he was in another world. just as I was about to let go of Bruce Thor walks out and I quickly peck Bruce on the cheek before following after the god.

"Thor!" He stops and turns to face me "What's wrong? You've been really distracted since Wanda messed with your mind. What did you see?" Before he can answer Steve joins us.

"I saw something in that dream. I need answers. I won't find them here." I walk over to him as he lifts his hammer as he was about to fly off. I place my hand on top of his, stopping him.

"Then go. But promise you will be back. And bring Loki back with you, I have a feeling we are going to need him" I whisper the last part so Steve doesn't hear. Thor nods and I let go. I walk back over to the house and Thor flies off leaving us behind. "He'll be back" I reassure Steve and pat him on the shoulder before going back inside. 

Thor had informed me of what had happened at home. Loki had received a fair trail after his mother used her magic to go through his head to find out the truth. He was set for some Jail time as punishment for what happened on Asgard before he fell. But other then that he was set free, he also had to help Thor bring peace to the realms as a way to show he had been reformed. I also knew about the attack with the Dark elves and Jane being involved. Frigga, Thor's mother, almost died during the attack but Thor had managed to bring her back to earth where Dr. Cho used the regeneration cradle on her to heal her wounds. Leading Cho to crush on Thor after they first met. They had a lot of Drama on Asgard in such a short amount of time. 

Hopefully Loki would help with out setting off everyone's anger or annoyance. I knew it was a lot to wish for considering he was the God of Mischief but a girl could try.
