Avengers Imagines

Just The Way You Are (Bruce Banner + Avengers)

Summary: you want to take the mutants cure, because you hate your abilities and feel different than the others. The avengers try to convince you to not take it, but you don't listen. They turn to Bruce Banner for help, because you listen to him the most. Requested by anon.
Warnings: Insecurity.

"I have something to tell you guys" you gathered the team. Only Bruce was missing.

"Did you eat my cookies? 'cause if you did, it's not gonna end well for you" Tony joked.

"No. It's not that" you said in a serious tone.

"Come on, spit it out. I'm curios now" Clint demanded.

"Well... you know that there's a cure for mutants now, so I want to... take it" you finally said.

"What? Where is this coming from?" Tony was shocked.

"Ever since I got my powers, I haven't been able to be in a relationship, afraid that I might kill the person. After you found me, it got better and I was able to control them, but it doesn't change the fact that it can still happen. I can still lose control if I'm not focused enough. Now I get to live a normal life , where people aren't afraid of me" you explained.

"But you'll lose a part of yourself" Steve stated.

"I know, but it's something I'm willing to sacrifice" you told him.

"No, this is not happening. We'll think of something else" Tony added.

"I already made up my mind. So you can either support me, which I prefer, or you can oppose me, which won't stop me, but it would hurt me" you gave them a choice.

"Please y/n, just think about it for a while" Nat begged.

"I already did and my decision is final" you left the room.

"Where the hell have been man?" Clint asked.

"Why? Did something happen while I was gone?" Bruce asked.

"It's y/n. She is determined to take the mutants cure" Steve explained.

"What? Why would she do something like that?" Bruce asked.

"Apparently she is afraid to hurt someone or lose control" Tony added.

"You have to talk to her" Nat ordered.

"Why me? And if she didn't listen to you guys, then what makes you think that she'd listen to me?" Bruce questioned.

"Isn't it obvious" Clint said.

"She likes you Banner. And she listens to you most of the time. You're the closest one to her. Maybe you'll be able to convince her" Tony explained.

"Alright. I'll try" he sat next to Clint on the couch and was about to eat the snacks in front of him.

Everyone looked at him.

"What?... Ohhh... You mean now. I. should. talk. to her. now. I'm going" Bruce headed towards your room.
"Uhmm guuuys... She's not here" he informed the team.

"If she's not here, that means that she's already headed to there" Nat said.

"Tony track her down. I'm gonna head there now" Bruce left in a hurry.

- - -

"y/n? Y/n?" he kept calling your name but there was no answer. He kept walking and calling your name.

"Bruce?... what are you doing here?" you were surprised to see him here.

"I was looking for you" he informed you.

"Why? Is there something wrong?" you asked.

"No, no. I came to change your mind. Don't take the cure y/n" he begged.

"You can't, I already made my decision" you informed him.

"But you can rethink it, please. Just don't do it" he demanded.

"Why not?" you asked.

"Because.... there are many people that want to be in your place. To have powers, to be different. What you have is a gift-" before he could finish you interrupted.

"It's a curse Bruce" you stated.

"No it's not. If you are afraid that you'd lose control, Stark will create something to help you".

"Didn't you hate the Hulk. And if you had that choice back in the day, wouldn't you take the cure?" you asked.

"Yes, I hated him. But with time, I discovered he was trying to protect me and then I accepted him as a part of myself. And yes if the cure existed back in the days, then I would've taken it, but thank god it didn't, because if I took it, I wouldn't have been the man I am today. I wouldn't have got to know you or the rest of the team" he expressed.

"You're a hero. You can save people. But me, I'm no hero. My ability is that I can kill someone by just touching them. People are afraid of me and they don't love me" you informed him.

"I'm not afraid of you and I love you... I mean I love that about you... not that I don't love other things about you... like when you're angry and do that thing with mouth. Or when you smile and do that thing with your nose. Y/n you're perfect just the way you are... I ,I'm sorry that came out wrong" Bruce finally admitted.

You slowly approached him "shut up. I love you too" you stand on the tips of your toes and kiss him.

"Bruce, come in. What happened? Did you find her?" Tony was worried.

"Yes guys. She's alright. She didn't take the cure" Bruce informed them.

"How did you convince her?" Clint asked.

"I told her how I felt about her" he told them.
"Finally, it was about time!" Nat said.

"If you did that from the beginning, we would've spared some time" Steve chuckled.
