"I don't believe it."

Betty has been spotted near the facility, I told Tony not to tell Nat because she could get hurt or jealous. I don't worry though because Betty was my past and Natasha is my future, everything I want is with her.

I decided to check the security cameras again, while i'm checking them I am shocked to see Betty just standing in front of the entrance. After a bit of debating I went to go confront her.

I pace to the entrance and open the doors, Betty turns to me and starts sprinting towards me and puts her arms around me wrapping me in a hug.

I immediately tense up nobody but Natasha touches me this way. She hugs me tighter and I harshly push her away.

"What are you doing here Betty."

"I came here for you Bruce, we can be together again," she responds.

Does she really think I would go to her.

"Betty i've moved on, I don't have feelings for you."

"Is it that redhead, Natalie or something," she says a angrily.

"Her name is Natasha," I answer her coldly.

"You don't really love her Bruce," she says mockingly.

My hands start turning green but I control it like Nat taught me. Betty's eyes dart to someone behind me but before I could turn around to see who it was Betty pushed herself against me and started to kiss me.

I push her away and turn around to see Natasha looking broken and vulnerable. I see her tear pooled eyes as she rushes back into the facility.

"Natasha!"

I furiously turn back around to face Betty but she is no longer there. I sigh in frustration and run to try to explain things to Nat.

Her red hair is seen flurrying up the stairs and I follow. Her door slams shut and I wince on how i'm going to deal with this situation.

I can't imagine what's she's going through but she has to believe I would never betray her like that. I care so deeply for her, I would give her the world if I could. Hell I would lay down my life for her.

I stand in front of her door hearing her sobs, it hurts me that i'm the one that caused her tears. I open her door silently and walk to her, she's sitting with her back facing away from me shaking uncontrollably.

I sit next to her on the bed and put my hand on her shoulders she immediately turns to me with a cold stare and shoves my hand off her shoulder.

"Get out," she says her voice cracking.

"Nat, please let me explain I-

"No Bruce I trusted you, I opened up to you and you know how hard that was for me," she says while walking further away from me.

"Love is for children," Nat whispers to herself

"I have no place in this world," she recites.

She has gone completely still, I heard what she said. I've broken her.

"Nat please don't say that," I choke out.

"I have no place in this world," she repeats while crying.

"Please let me explain," I beg.

I get up from the bed and walk to her to comfort her but as i'm wrapping my arms around her waist she grabs my hands and flips me to the ground. I groan in pain from the sudden action.

"Don't touch me," she says.

I slowly sit up wincing in pain, I look at her in the eyes and I see hers swirling with pain and betrayal.

"Natasha, please let me explain."

"Explain what, that you broke my trust," she says.

"Please just leave," she says.

I agreed since it was getting late. Not wanting to fully leave her though I sat outside of her door listening to her crying. My own tears started to spill from my eyes as I lay on the cold hard ground.
************************************************
I wake up in the middle of the night and lean my head against the door. I couldn't hear Nat crying anymore so I guess she fell asleep. I open her door silently to see her curled up in a ball on the ground holding a picture of us. Her cheeks were stained with tears and her red hair sticking to them.

I crouch down and take the photo to put it on the bed, then I gently lift her onto my arms. I didn't want to let her go just yet so I pace around the room with her in my arms. I run my fingers through her hair and kiss her forehead. After a while I lay Nat down on the bed, I sit beside her just gazing at her beauty.

My eyes start to droop and I lay on the ground not wanting to startle her when she wakes up in the morning. I take one last look at her promising to myself I will make this right.
************************************************
I wake up to realize I wasn't on the floor no more, the picture of me and Bruce was at the foot of the bed.
Did Bruce move me? my mind thinks. I swing my legs over the bed almost stepping on his face. What the hell, he is laying on the ground. I step over him just wondering why he would do that to me. I also know deep down that Bruce would never do that to me.

I see him stir and open his eyes, he looks at me and quickly gets up from the floor to sit beside me.

"Natasha please let me explain," he begs.

"Fine but I swear if you lie Bruce-

"I won't lie to you," he whispers.

"I did know that Betty was in town but I didn't know if she was looking for me or not. Then yesterday I checked the facility's security cameras and I saw her standing outside of the entrance. I decided to confront her so I went outside, she said she wanted to get back with me," he says.

I start balling up my fists but Bruce grabs my hands and weaves our fingers together. I bit my lip not wanting to show my emotions to him.

"I told Betty I didn't have feelings for her anymore and that i've moved on. What shocked me the most is that she knew about us, she also told me that I didn't really love you but before I could answer her she saw you behind me and kissed me. Natasha, I pushed her away I don't want anybody but you," he finishes telling me.

I let go of his hand and bury my face into my palms sobbing into them. Bruce pulls me into his arms and I tense up but relax as he plays with my hair.

"I love you so much Natasha, I would never ever betray you like that. You mean the absolute world to me, you're my other half," he tells me.

I look up at him looking into his eyes to see if he's lying. His eyes tells me everything and I pull away to rest my head on his shoulder.

"I believe you and i'm sorry for yesterday."

"Don't apologize you had a right to be angry with me," he says.

"I hate her Bruce for what she made me go through."

"For what she made me feel towards you."

He lays us both down back on the bed with me on his chest.

"I hate her for what she did, she intentionally hurt you, we have to find her," he says while rubbing circles in my back.

"I'll help you find her and Bruce...

"Yes," he responds.

"I- I love you too, If you were to leave me I wouldn't be able to function anymore."

"Me either," he whispers.

We lay in silent listening to each other breathe, i'm glad I decided to listen to his explanation or else I would have left him forever. Being away from Bruce seems unimaginable to me that's just how connected we are to one another. We will find Betty and she will pay for what she did to us especially me.
