Tough Love (Bruce Banner x reader)

What are you doing here?

You knew you weren't supposed to be here. 

But of course, you had no choice. You were running away from college. You see, today out of all day's those bullies at school decided to follow you home. 

~Flash Back ~

You were walking home, it was a small town so it wasn't that far, excited over the fact that you aced your gamma radiation test. It really wasn't that hard for you. You used Bruce Banner's guide. The way he explained it made it crystal clear to understand. You smiled at yourself thinking about him. He was a cute geeky scientist, your role model. The happiness didn't last as you remembered what had happened before the test. This group of students, ya know the stereotypical bad girls and boys, and they wanted to cheat off of you. You being you, you said Hell no. What they said next as you entered the classroom gave you chills. "Don't walk alone". 

Now you had asked your best friend to walk with you but she had to go meet up with her boyfriend BLECH. You did not like that boy. As you were deep in thought, you didn't see the car following you, it was a red pickup truck. Finally, you noticed it and started walking faster. As you looked back, you saw it was the bullies, but they HAD FRICKEN GUNS. You started running for your life, you ran past your house, into a field and hid in a warehouse. 

~Present time~

 You were now cornered, hiding in a warehouse. The students circled around the building tauntingly saying, "Come out, Come out where ever you are y,n!". You started to quiver when suddenly the atmosphere became tense. You heard the kids scream, jump into their cars and drive away. As you sighed in relief you, you looked up to see a green mass falling towards the warehouse. You screamed and tried to open the doors but someone locked them from the outside, that's when you realized this was a military warehouse. You tried to use two pieces of metal to conduct energy and break the lock but it failed. It was a remote controlled door. You panicked and covered your head with your arms as a glass shattering sound exploded in your ears. You felt the debris whack your arms and cut your back. You grimaced in pain but looked up to see the green thing sort of morphing into a man and he seemed injured. You forgot about the pain in your back and ran to him. You quickly blushed and respectfully looked away as you realized he wasn't wearing anything.  You opened your backpack and got out some pants you had from the gym, they were always too big for you, it was a gift from a friend. Apparently, they thought you were men's sized. (Which is ok if you are, everyone is beautiful and perfect the way they are) . You carried them around anyway just in case. You quickly slipped those on him without really looking and dusted off his face. That's when you realized, it was BRUCE BANNER! You gasped and squealed on the inside. But it was overcome with concern when you remembered he just fell from the sky. 

You had some medical supplies in your backpack because your mom had insisted you didn't leave for college without a full health kit. You were grateful that she cared but sometimes it is annoying, but she only did it because she loves you. Anyway, you got some bandages and disinfecting cream and started to work your magic. As you got to his face, you found yourself caressing and examining his toned face. You could tell he was stressed and fighting to regain conscienceness.  You struggled but picked him up and got him off the debris. You laid him down and put his head on your lap, forgetting about the pains in your back and arms. That's when he opened his eyes.

Bruce's POV

I groaned in pain as I felt someone lift me up and place me somewhere. I was finally able to open my eyes. There looking down caringly at me was a young woman with flowing (h,c) hair, beautiful (e,c) eyes looking down at me. I tried to sit up but she pushed me down softly, "Your hurt Mr. Banner", she said quietly. I looked and thank God I had pants on, I don't know how but I'm thankful that I did. "Did I hurt anyone?", I asked rubbing my head. "No one was in this area but me, you didn't hurt me", you said softly while sitting up. " H-How did you know about me?", I asked. "I'm a big fan. I studied gamma radiation in high school and I'm majoring in science right now", you said your cheeks turning a light shade of pink. I smiled at you and tried to stand up but I failed. You caught me just in time. "Do you mind Dr. Banner if I take care of your leg?", you asked helping me stand up. I sighed and nodded, "That would be great". You picked me up, putting me on your back and went to the door but faltered. "What's wrong ?", I asked as she set me down.

Your POV

You put him down remembering the door is locked. "What's wrong", Banner asked. You sighed, "It seems we are locked in an army warehouse Mr. Banner", you said. He grimaced in pain as he tried to stand up again, "Did you see if there's any lock to pick or source of energy that could trigger the doors to open?", he asked. " I did, it's a remote-controlled lock, only the person with the remote can open it", I said looking at him in concern. He tried to stand up but fell down again yelping in pain. "Mr. Banner don't stand up, your leg is injured!", you said. He growled annoyedly but sighed in defeat. You felt consumed with anger and sadness. Those damn bullies! If they weren't such asses, you wouldn't be in this mess. What did you do to deserve this?! Anger by your thoughts, you rammed your fist into the door. To your surprise and Bruce's amazement, the door flew off, becoming deformed at the touch of your fist. "Well then... that takes care of the door", you said still shocked a bit. "Well done, by the way, you can call me Bruce", he said smiling at you. You smiled back a bit and picked him up again, "Alright Bruce, let's get you fixed up", you said as you started to walk back home. 

~Time skip to when you got home~

You sat him down on your couch. He seemed very anxious and upset. "Tell me, Bruce,  who were you fighting that caused you to be this injured?", you asked while examining his leg. "That's um c-classified", he said, wincing every time you touched his leg. "I have no friends, who am I gonna tell?", you said chuckling a bit to hide the sadness. He looked at you skeptically but then caringly, "Loki". You widened your eyes at that name, it struck a nerve. " Oh... I'm sorry Bruce I have to relocate the lower part of your leg", you said. He nodded. " You can squeeze my arm if you need", you said putting his hand on your arm. His grip was strong but soft. You felt terrible for doing what you were about to do. You pulled really hard until you heard a pop, signifying that his leg was back in place. He grimaced, closing his mouth to keep in any sound and gripped your arm in pain. You let go of his leg and hugged him, "Sorry sorry". He tensed up as you hugged him but hugged back. Suddenly your T. V went on with an alert. 

" I am Lois Lane now on this top news story. Loki has opened some sort of portal in the sky and destroying the stark tower and the area around it. As you can see the Avengers seem to be fighting but aren't really winning. More on this strange event, coming up next". And your T. V went to another story. Bruce gasped and sat up putting his hands in his curly hair, trying to figure out what he was going to do. " I can take you there, but would you be able to fight?", you asked shutting off the T.V. "The uh Other guy feels no damage or pain from a dislocated leg", he said. "Are you ready to do this?", you asked. He sighed and nodded. "You don't have to", you said quietly, thinking of all the ways he could die from this. "No I do, I've abandoned my friends too many times", he said. You nodded and you both walked/limped to the door, your hands brushed up against each other, causing Bruce's face to turn red, and yours a light pink. Trying not to make this more awkward you opened the door and got on your motorcycle. (it looked like this)

Bruce looked at you and gave a small smile as you jumped on the motorcycle and started it like a pro. "What?", you asked," Just because I'm a nerd doesn't mean I can't have a badass bike". He chuckled, "Very true", he said as he limped over to the bike and sat behind you, putting his arms around your waist. You were thankful you were wearing a helmet because your face became red. "Let's go save the world", you mumbled as you sped off.
