Inside: Guest Bedroom

Natasha sitting on the bed, staring forward as she still getting flashes from the after effects of hallucinations that Wanda/Scarlet Witch gave her, she's seeing her younger self being rolled down a hall in a gurney, a doctor's gloved hand picking up a tool from a tool tray, another doctor without any gloves moves one of her legs aside, young Natasha looking up as a tear runs down and she closes her eyes as she cries.

Inside: Bathroom

Bruce also still experiencing the after effects from the hallucinations given by Wanda, he's getting flashes of when he was the Hulk in Africa, seeing an angry Hulk roar and move crazily as he was under the influence of Wanda/Scarlet Witch's mind-powers.

Bruce snaps out of it as he looks up to the mirror in front of him, seeing half his face covered in shaving cream, he lifts the razor in his hand and continues to shave his face.

Bedroom 🔬

Bruce opens the bathroom door, shirtless and still drying himself from his shower, he looks up and stops in surprise when he sees Natasha stand up from the bed, grabbing her towel as she's been waiting for her turn.

Bruce tells Natasha, stumbling on his words a bit, "I didn't realize you were waiting."

Natasha tells Bruce with a faint smirk, "I would've joined you, but uh.. it didn't seem like the right time."

Bruce tells Natasha, "They used up all the hot water."

Natasha says to Bruce, "I should've joined you."

Bruce tells Natasha, "Missed our window."

Natasha questions with a frown, "Did we?"

Bruce tells Natasha as he walks towards the dresser, "The world just saw the Hulk." He puts down his towel, "The real Hulk, for the first time." He starts to put on his black button up shirt, "You know I have to leave."

Natasha narrows her eyes a bit as she says, "And leave your sister."

Bruce shrugs as he puts his arm through his other sleeve, "She doesn't need me, she'll be fine."

Natasha puts down her towel on the bed behind her, "But you assume that I have to stay?" Bruce looks at her, "I had this, um, dream. The kind that seems normal at the time, but when you wake..." She trails off.

Bruce steps forward and asks Natasha, "What did you dream?"

Natasha tells Bruce without fear of the dream, "That I was an Avenger. That I was anything more than the assassin they made me."

Bruce steps closer to Natasha, "I think you're being hard on yourself."

Natasha smiles a little as she steps forward and basically closes the gap between them, leaning close and breathing out, "Here I was hoping that was your job." She looks up at Bruce.
