Chapter 24: The fight

*Natasha's Point of view*

It was 8.30am, Me and Steve were dressed in our fighting gear. We sat on the sofa, his arm wrapped around my shoulder while I rested my head on his. I had been up since 4am thinking of what could happen today. All the possible scenarios, all the likely outcomes, and there were quite a few!! The two most likely outcomes were that everyone gets out alive and no one gets hurt, Bruce doesn't even Hulk out, but now that I think of it, its quite unlikely. Or I can't get away and I'm forced to go with him, mainly because I see visions of him hurting Steve.
"What are you thinking about?" Steve asked, curiously.
"Nothing really." I replied, he knew I was lying because he turned to face me. His Blond hair was perfectly organized at the top of his head, his face covered in worry because he knows that there is something on my mind.
"You know that I know your lying. What's really going on?" He said, staring directly at my green eyes.
"I'm scared." I started, he looked at me, his face confused. "I'm scared of what's going to happen. He could hurt any of us, or worse! That's why I asked to go alone so I won't have more guilt hanging over me." I looked down at the ground, embarrassed by my own feelings. Steve placed his hand under my chin and lifted my face to face him.
"None of us are going go get hurt. Your going to get away and we're going to be okay." His voice was steady and smooth.
"But what if after we get away and Bruce is far from our minds, what if our relationship doesn't last! What if we fight and break up? What if we're doing all of this for nothing!?" I couldn't help but think of the worst. I'm so pessimistic but I can't help but have that idea in my head. My anxiety was always playing against me and I couldn't help but panic. Steve pulled me in for a tight hug, my tense body relaxed as I squeezed his chest closer to my face. I felt a tear drop from my eyes into his chest uncontrollably.
"Do you want to leave me?" He asked.
"I never want to leave you. I never want you to leave me!" I replied while sniffing back my tears and trying to regain my self-confidence.
"In that case, I will never leave you. Ever. I promise." His deep familiar voice made my tears dry up and calmed me down. We parted from our hug and I pressed my lips against his, softly.

We heard a knock at the door and we both knew who it was. Steve got up from the couch and started walking over to the door, he turned back and looked at me. He smiled at me and I smiled back. He opened the door to reveal Tony, Clint and Wanda, who all walked in and greeted me. They were all dressed and ready for the upcoming battle and were prepared for anything.
"Right! Are we ready?" Tony asked.
"I'm good to go!" Clint and Wanda said in unison.
"Nat, Steve, are you both ready?" Tony looked between the both of us, I looked at Steve and he glared at me. I nodded reassuringly as his worried eyes reassured me that everything was going to work out.
"Okay, let's go over the plan," Steve said, he looked so good when he was a leader, the authority he had over everyone was overwhelming and I loved it. "Wanda and Nat, your going to go in and tell Bruce that it's over. Clint and I will be waiting outside the door, ready for any type of reaction, whether its hulk or not. Tony, your going to keep an eye on the situation from the outside and if anything goes wrong, you engage. Wanda, if he tries anything, stop him immediately, try your best to keep the Hulk away."

Everybody nodded at their roles and Me and Wanda walked towards the door. Steve held my arm back before me and Wanda left for the apartment.
"I promise you, I'm here if you need me. Go show him what the Black Widow can do." Steve said, his smile warmed my heart and gave me the confidence to actually face Bruce.
"We got this, Steve." I said, smirking the familiar smirk I know he loves. I pulled him down for a kiss. I let him go after a few seconds and shut the door behind me.

*Steve's Point of view*

Once Natasha left, I felt powerless. I couldn't protect her but I knew Wanda would. Wanda was powerful and she would not let Bruce hurt either of them.
"Steve, she's going to be alright." Clint said as he got his stuff ready.
"I know, I'm just worried." I said, I felt my emotions show in front of everyone more than I was comfortable with, so I decided that my mask had to go on immediately. "Come on, we have to get to our positions."
