Me, Tony, Thor, Clint and Steve were gathered around the living room as Tony was holding onto a cassette tape labelled "RR", we obviously didn't have a player however Steve did and came back with it placing it down and setting it up.
I was pacing around the room hoping it was of Bruce but also wasn't at the time, i needed to know if he was alive and where to find him.My thoughts were, please don't let it be him...please don't let it be him.
The tape went in...
I slowly turned around as the others sat down watching, at first there was just lots of machinery, and people.That was until we saw him...
It was Bruce trapped into a metal chair with pain in his eyes, not the Hulk.
"NO,no,no"I started saying as tears welled in my eyes.Only Tony really knew about me and Bruce so the others were probably confused why i was so sensitive.
A few seconds later we could see Bruce trying to turn into the Hulk, and every time they would zap him turning back into Bruce, but he couldn't help the rage of the hulk in him so it happened at least every 5 minutes.
I walked around the couch and sat on it next to the others with anxious expressions on their faces, after at least 5minutes in a turned away i couldn't watch anymore.I could see Tony looking towards me with sympathetic eyes.
That was until they started speaking.
It was the leader of the red room, i never knew his name but i know exactly what he looked like and sounded like.
"Natasha...Natasha....Natasha or should i say Natalie, it has occurs to me that you don't give up without a fight, but i guess i always knew that."I slowly turned around thinking of the man who had taken everything from me and now Bruce, everyone had their eyes on me as i turned and saw his face, i froze.
I never thought i'd see his face ever again but there he was.My breathing started to get unsteady as a small stream of tears fell in one eye as the video played on "I know you are watching this Natalie, and i just thought the idea of reconsidering the offer and playing it the clean way."
"You see Bruce here won't last long, and i know how special he is to you".Everyone turned back to look at me with surprised faces instead."And the thought of loosing someone you 'Love' shouldn't be in your future, you know love is for children and you know that by doing this i should kill him anyway but i feel like it would be better to teach you a lesson so you can be here to watch him die".
I couldn't take it to hear this anymore so i quickly jumped of the couch and basically sprinted to my room, i lay there crying more than i ever had before as i knew there was a slim chance i could save Bruce and for him to be alive whilst doing so.
10minutes later there was a knock on my door "go away" i said with a musky voice as my throat hurt.A worried sounding Clint replied "ok" as he slid a note under my door.
I read the note as it said to meet tomorrow at 21:00 and there was an address and if i was to be late they would kill Bruce.
However what they didn't tell me is that he mentioned all the horrible things that i've done and showed videos of them.They knew it was bad but watching it made it worse.
The whole night i couldn't sleep all i could think about was Bruce and how he was coping and what they were doing to him.
I looked at the time it was 6:00 so i decided i might as well get up i got changed and cleaned up with puffy eyes but i didn't care i didn't think anyone would be up but they were, they all were which was strange. They gave me a strange look as they had seen all the violent things i have done but they then saw my puffy eyes and then turned into a sympathetic look.
I went to make some toast and put it onto a plate adding jam, i walked around the kitchen to sit down however when i was walking there they all seemed to be walking out the way.I then decided to say "guys whats wrong?, why is everyone acting strangely?".
They all seemed to turn away."Can someone tell me what's going on?" I merely shouted.
Clint then responded saying "Well last night we carried on watching the tape and um.. it showed most of the things you've done for the red room". I froze. I didn't know what to say.
"I'm a monster".I whispered whilst walking out the door; tears running down my eyes.
"Nat wait there's something else". Clint replied.I carried on walking."It's about Bruce".
I stopped in my tracks.I turned back, Clint was holding a photo, wiping my eyes i took it from Clint it was a picture of Bruce badly beaten up i think they had found a way to get past the Hulk otherwise he would have healed by now.He was still alive, barely.
"We need to go there now". I insisted i can't get him beaten up anymore.
"Nat we can't it's 6:15 in the morning we still have all day."Clint responded the others agreeing.
"You mean i still have all day i'm the only one going, they only need me and they're probably going to kill us both anyway so why bother to come" i said sorrowfully. "Guys i love Bruce and i can't live without him".
Everyone went quiet. I slowly walked away, hoping everyone thought i was just walked out the kitchen until i got the keys to my car secretively and ran out the door. All i heard was "Nat wai-"
I started driving as fast as i could to go to the red room, to get to Bruce....
