Romanogers Part 2💗

Chapter 27: Its over

*Natasha's point of view*

What did Steve just do?! He brought out the Hulk! The skin colour faded into a gray-green and his muscles gained a lot more weight.

The Hulk stood before me, Steve and Clint. He opened his mouth and let out a resounding roar that gave me Deja Vu. A great green fist came plummeting into Steve, knocking him against the dusky walls. I immediately rush to his aid while Clint attempts to distract the Hulk.
"You shouldn't have done that!" I said under my breath, loud enough for him to hear. I lifted his face up to face mine with my hand and I saw the bruise already forming above his brown eyebrow. My eyes were paralyzed staring at his icey blue orbs that lay beneath his tattered eye-lids.
"It was worth it." He managed to form a weak cheeky infectious smile, a smile grew across my face with him. He attempted to raise an eyebrow but winced at the pain that overcome him.

Both our heads jolted towards the wall that had been bashed down, releasing pure daylight into our eyes, nearly blinding Steve. I caught the eye of Wanda who immediately rushed over, startled by Steve's injuries.
"Jesus Christ!" She said, kneeling beside him.
"I'm fine, Wanda. Honestly." He attempted to get up but I held him down.
"Your not going anywhere." I firmly said, not wanting him to be in any more pain at the hands of me. This is all my fault in the first place.
"Nat, I'm fine-"
"No, your not moving. Let me kill this son of a bitch." I interrupted him. I rose to my feet only to be dragged back down again.
"If I'm not going anywhere, neither are you." He replied, sharing the same sterness I used on him.
"But Wanda is-"
"Natasha, I want YOU here with me." His face portrayed the same face I did when I told him I couldn't let Bruce hurt him. God, I love him.
"We've both got to get up and fight, this is our fight. We aren't going to lose. This has to end." I said, speechless from his last comment. What do I even say to that? I can't tell him now because he will just reject me.
"Then that's what we do."
"I think I can help with that." Wanda chipped in. "After the last incident with the Hulk, I decided that I would find a way to stop Bruce turning to the Hulk. That's what I did. It only lasts a week, we have to work fast." She shared, leaving me gobsmacked.
"Let's end this." Steve said, looking back into my eyes.

After me and Wanda helped Steve up, we both noticed how the other Avengers were already done fighting around the front and were helping taking down Bruce. Tony lifted his helmet and winked at me. So immature. We helped Steve stand on his own and then we both split off to follow Wanda's plan, to reduce Bruce back to his normal size and stop the Hulk for a week. I edged off to Clint and Bucky who were firing arrows and bullets like crazy. Wanda went to Tony and Rhodey while Steve hobbled to Sam. I couldn't help but keep my eye on him. If something happens and I'm not there, I will never forgive myself. My eye follows him wherever he goes.

We manage to corner the Hulk in between two cobblestone walls, all standing guard, my eye catches Steve's eye, I quickly turn back to the raging monster. Wanda steps forward towards the claustrophobic Hulk, who roars his heart out. Her fingers glide through the air, paralyzing the Hulk with her red magic. I love how powerful she is. The muscles on the monsters arm begin to decrease, his skin fading to the musky beige it was before. The roaring faded into a Yelp from Bruce's ugly face. His body back to its usual shape.

Wanda still controlled her magic to paralyze Bruce from running, she continued to work her magic. Her fists soaring through the atmosphere hesitantly. Her face clearly proving she was struggling. We all stood hurriedly around the two, scared for her safety. Her fingers loosened an the red glow stopped holding Bruce, who now lay coughing viciously on the ground. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

Tony knelt on Bruce's back, stopping him from moving while Rhodey handcuffed him, legs and hands. I smiled. It's over! It's all over! Bruce is going to prison! Me and Steve can live in peace. We can all live In peace.

I walked over to Steve who looked proud of being able to even stand. His goofy smile spread a massive grin across my face.
"Look at you being able to stand up!" I said, sarcastically, still surprised that he was still standing up.
"I'm a big boy, don't you know?" He laughed, making me start giggling along with him. Tony and Rhodey loaded Bruce on to the ship.
"Well, I know that." I replied. I love him so much. This is your chance, Natasha. Tell him. "Look I have something to tell you." Steve was looking behind me wearily. What's he looking at? His eyes widened rapidly, causing worry to spread across my face.
"LOOK OUT!" Steve yelled. What are we looking out for-

I felt a cold bullet piece the skin on my abdomen. I didn't feel it when it first happened. I only knew it was cold. And then the pain came, surging through my veins. I glanced at Steve quickly, who was oblivious until he noticed I was clutching my chest with a red hand. His eyes widened further, rushing to catch me as my legs gave way. He didnt catch me. My head slapped against the ground. Surprisingly, not instantly knocking me out. My eyes fluttered. Seeing Steve crowd over me, worry spread across his face. He just repeated "STAY WITH ME, NAT!". My vision began to blur. His face blended. I want to see his eyes. Those eyes. But my vision was failing me dramatically. His voice became a hum. I have to say something if this is the end.

I murmured "I love you Steve, I always will..."

I felt a cold pair of lips press against my head, I knew it was him.

"I love you too, baby." He quivered.

I can rest now.

I know.

I feel his embrace before my body goes numb.

My vision turns into black as my hearing turns into a high pitched scream.

I allow the darkness to engulf me.

End of Its over
