After the Snap, the world is without the Armored Avenger, the Star Spangled Man, the God of Thunder, The Archer, and The Spy.
Years later, when an old friend arrives with an idea that gives them a bit of hope and a plan to get the Infinity Stones...
Betty arrives and her and Bruce have a tearful reunion.
***Courtyard***
Later on, night time came. Pepper had decided to stay until they knew the whereabouts of Tony.
It was nearing 10:30 and Bruce was now outside, looking up into the star filled sky. He wondered which one was the planet that Tony was on.
After a while, he let out a long, tired sigh. "Where are you, Tony?" He asked. "Where are you?"
His thoughts were broken by the sound of the front gate opening and a car entering. As it did, he saw that it was slowing down.
The car stopped midway down the path and was across the yard from Bruce. He couldn't exactly see who it was, but he could tell they were looking right at him.
A tingly feeling came to him as he heard the front door open and the person step out. From the looks of the hair, it was a woman. But when she turned, Bruce felt his heart clench.
It was her. He saw her, and she saw him.

"Bruce." She whispered, though she felt he heard her.
"Betty." He whispered back.
They stared at each other across the yard, the feeling between them still strong.
She made the first move, closing her car door, walking around it and onto the grass toward him.
Bruce slowly began to walk forward, he was cared that he might be dreaming and that when he reached her, she'd be gone.
His heart began to race as he picked up the pace. "Betty?"
"Bruce?"
"Betty!"
"Bruce!"
The two now ran and closed the space in between them quicker. Soon colliding together in a hug, holding each other tight. Glad to be together again.
"I missed you!" She cried into his shoulder, tears making their way down her cheeks.
Bruce sniffled as he felt the waterworks beginning to work him too. "I missed you too."
They stayed in that position a little while longer before going to her car, parking it, grabbing her things and going inside.

***Common Room***
After putting her things in a room, and changing into something more comfortable, Bruce and Betty sat down on a couch and he explained the situation of what was going on, the fact that his team was lost, and the hardest part, the kids that were left without their parents.
"So their parent are gone?" She asked, really to reassure herself that she heard him right.
Bruce nodded silently.
"Have you told them yet?"
"No. I can't." Bruce shook his head in grief.
"Well Bruce, they're gonna find out sooner or later. You gonna have to tell them.
"Yeah, I know! I just.......I don't know how to break it to them."
Looking at Bruce holding his head in his hands, Betty could see that he holding more than just that. He was holding the weight of the kids, what happened to their parents, and the team on his shoulders.
She thought back to the time when they were on the run. He had a similar amount of weight on him then with trying to get rid of the Hulk. And she watched him throughout the years as he fought with the Avengers. She was happy to see that he was able to use it. It seemed like he was happy to have a place in the world.
But now, with one stroke, or snap rather, all of that was taken away and replaced with sorrow, loneliness and grief.
Then a thought came into her head. Just as she stood, or ran, with him back then, she was gonna stick with him now.
She put a hand on his shoulder and hugged him from behind. Kinda like how she did back in 2008 in the hotel room they shared.
"Thank you, Betty." He whispered through oncoming tears.
"You're welcome, Bruce." She replied by kissing his head.
They stayed in that position for a while. The comfort in that moment was so calming, stress relieving.
Bruce held her arms and took in the feeling of being in them again. He was so happy she was here. With him in his worst hour. She came all this way and now, they were together once again.

And now, we have two more friends staying at the Compound. Pepper Potts and Betty Ross.
I know a lot of fans have wanted to see Liv Tyler reprise the role of Betty in the MCU. Me being one of them. 😂😂😂 And tbh, when I first started working on this story, having Betty come back was a last minute decision...and I don't regret it one bit.
So were gonna see plenty of Betty in this story. So stick around. See ya next chapter!
