Hulk and His Priestess

Chapter 24 At the Movies

Kagome went back to the suite and made lunch for Bruce, who was barely getting up. He enjoyed his lazy Sundays very much, though he would have enjoyed it more if Kagome had been with him. Putting on his robe he went into the kitchen to see that Kagome had made hamburgers for lunch. She smiled at him and gave him a chaste kiss on the lips, he sat down and she placed the burger with chips in front of him then took her own plate and sat down next to him.

"So," He asked after he swallowed.

"So?"

"How did it go at the archery range?"

"Oh that, it went really well. Your friend Clint scared the life out of me by jumping out of the vents and then we had a friendly shooting match," She said casually.

Bruce took another bite then swallowed, he looked at her critically.

"You beat him, didn't you?"

"I destroyed him," She said then took a bite.

"Do you think that's fair?"

"Why not?"

"Because, my beautiful Miko, love of my life,  you used The Sacred longbow of Mount Azusa. You can't miss with that bow."

"Yeah, but he doesn't know that."

"Kagome!"

Kagome giggled, "I'm joking, Bruce, that bow I have shrunk down on my charm bracelet, the one I used was my regular longbow. I beat him fair and square," She said then took a drink of her iced tea.

The couple decided that they would watch a couple of movies then go to bed early. Bruce puts on Wonder Woman and settles on the sofa with Kagome, right before the movie starts there's a knock on the door.

"Come in," Bruce calls out.

"Heya Brucie, Kaggy, whatcha doin'," Tony asks when he enters the room.

Kagome's eyebrow lifts, "Kaggy?"

"Uh huh, Kaggy,"

"Uh, we're going to a movie, Bruce tells Tony.

"Oh yeah, what movie?"

"Wonder Woman," Kagome tells him.

"Ooh, with that really hot chick, what's her name, Gal Gadot. I'm totally in, but let's go watch it in the theatre I built instead, guys. Come on, it'll look and sound better."

Bruce and Kagome look at each other Kagome shrugs, "Yeah, why not?"

"Great, I'll assemble the rest of the Avengers," Tony says as he races out of their suite yelling for FRIDAY to inform the Avengers.

Bruce gets off of the sofa, he offers his hand to Kagome, and they leave the suite hand in hand. They walk down the theatre room where everyone has already gathered.

"Great idea guys, I love this movie," Rhodey tell them when they walk in

"Hey is anyone going to make some popcorn?" Sam asks

"I will make the popcorn," Vision volunteers.

"No, last time you nearly caused a fire, let someone else do it," Clint tells him.

Kagome looks around at the overgrown children arguing over popcorn and drinks and sighs, "I'll do it, what do you guys want to drink?"

Suddenly they're all shouting at her telling her what they want and thanking her. Then they start talking about what a badass Gal Gadot is.

Bruce looks at Kagome, "Do you want some help, Honey?"

"No, sweetie, you can stay here and play with the boys," She tells him with a wink.

Kagome walks out and heads to the kitchen to make the popcorn. She looks around in the cabinets until she finds the box of microwave popcorn. She puts the package in the microwave and starts it, while it's popping she starts grabbing the beers and sodas that the guys want. Then looks for a few large bowls to put the popcorn in. As she's looking for what she needs she spots Bucky walking by, she smiles and calls out to him.

"Hi, Bucky."

Bucky turns around, "Oh hello, Ms. Higurashi."

"Please, call me Kagome," She tells him with a smile.

Bucky can't help himself and smiles back.

"I don't suppose you can help me real quick?"

Bucky hesitates, "What do you need help with?"

"Well, we're going to watch a movie, and the guys want popcorn so I volunteered to make it. But I can't find any big bowls to put it in, do you have any?"

"Um, yeah they're right here," Bucky tells her and get them down from a cabinet that was too tall for her.

He hands them to her, she gives him a brilliant smile and thanks him. He smiles back then awkwardly stands there, not knowing what else to say. Kagome continues to busy herself making more popcorn and emptying it into the bowls. She looked around for more snack and found bags of candy as well. The whole time she was watching Bucky out of the corner of her eye.

"So are you going to watch the movie with us?"

Bucky scratches the back of his head, "Um no I don't really like movies."

"That's too bad, I heard this is a really good one."

"Maybe."

"Well, how about you watch a little of it and if you like it stay and if you don't you can leave."

Bucky thought for a moment then shrugged, "Yeah, I can do that."

"Great, I don't suppose you'd be willing to help me take this stuff into the theatre?"

"Sure."

Bucky grabs a tray and loads it with all the drinks and some of the bowls of popcorn while Kagome carries another bowl and the bags of candy. They make their way into the theatre where the guys are all waiting for the food. Steve looks over and sees Bucky with Kagome, his face lights up.

"He, Buddy, are you going to stay for the movie?"

"Yeah, I'll give it a try."

Kagome hands everything out then goes to sit with Bruce. Bucky stands there for a minute then takes a seat next to Kagome. Tony tells FRIDAY to start the movie and the theatre goes dark. Kagome and Bruce hold hands while the movie plays, everything is going fine until the Germans show up and they start fighting. Kagome can see out of the corner of her eye that Bucky is getting anxious, he keeps clenching and unclenching his hands and he's starting to sweat. She offers him some popcorn, and when he reaches in to grab some, Kagome does as well touching his hand with her finger. She pushes some healing power into him and he calms down. Bucky settles back in the chair takes a deep breath and lets it slowly suddenly feeling a peace.

This did not go unnoticed by Bruce, he smiled and squeezes Kagome's hand then leans over and kisses her head. She turns and kisses his cheek. They continue to watch the movie, though every now and then Kagome looks at Bucky to make sure he's alright. When the movie ended, Tony stood up and clapped his hands getting everyone's attention.

"Alright, since we just finished watching Wonder Woman, I think it's only fitting that we now watch the Batman movies, but the only ones worth watching are Batman with Michael Keaton and the Christopher Nolan ones. So everyone go pee grab a snack or whatever and come back, Frosty you're gonna watch these right?" Tony asked looking at Bucky.

Bucky looked at Kagome and Bruce, she gave him an encouraging smile, then he looked at Tony.

"Yeah, I'll stay."

"Good, it's about time we get started on your education."
