"When did you get here?"I said still in shock.
"About an hour ago."He replied.
"Your such an idiot"I said slapping his chest.
"I love you too"He replied chuckling.
I then turned back to Bucky, everyone was now surrounding him as we watched him get wheeled away.
"It's my fault"I murmured shaking my head.
"No it's not"Bruce said stroking my hair.
"It is" I replied wiping my eyes and nodding my head.
"Natasha what happend?"Steve suddenly stated storming over to me and grabbing my arm.
"...W-well we w-where at this old warehouse a-and we didn't know what we were facing, s-so we moved in further until we heard beeping and a mine exploded right in front of us and a metal pipe fell straight o-on my ankle, i got it off a-and Bucky had assumed i followed after him as he made it outside, i shortly followed after him but i was too slow, i was so close to leaving but a massive pilar of wood fell straight in front of me blocking my exit and it was on fire"I gulped rubbing my face which still had lots of ash on it.
"And then"Steve stated, i looked around everyone was now listening to me.
"S-so i tried to find another exit but there was only a metal solid door and there was no chance i was breaking it down in my condition as i was suffocating, and i usually freeze when i see fire"I murmured the part at the end. "H-however that was until Bucky broke through the wood and he saved me, we were so close until the door until a metal pilar fell which he caught helping me escape, i wanted to help him but he insisted i left, i shouldn't have left"I said putting my head down. "I waited for him and then i saw him racing to the door but it was too late another mine blew up and he flew straight in front of me, followed by a pool of blood"I said trying not to show too much emotion.
Everyone was speechless. Steve let go off the tight grip on my arm and sighed and stormed away to i don't know where. I turned limping my way to the infirmary with Bruce as support and lay down on the bed. I was exhausted but i was just so happy Bruce was finally back.
The doctors bandaged my foot and gave me crutches as i had to go and get cleaned up. Bruce stood by me the whole time as i walked upstairs and turned around letting me get out of my tight suit and showering just about and then after changing into Bruce's hoodie and some shorts.
"Have you been wearing my hoodies all the time"He said smiling softly.
"Every single day, i even made sure when i ran away i had your jumper with me"I replied back but then realising what happened after and my face dropped.
"Hey whatever happened then, i don't care ok we're going to start a clean slate, just you and me"He said rubbing my arm i nodded my head.
"W-wait clean slate....Bucky used to do this thing all the time in the red room where we thought he was dead but then they brought him back to life with this special serum, it would wipe his memory and activate the winter soldier, i can't remember if i stole any"I said frantically searching around my room.
"Are you sure this is going to work?"Bruce replied.
"It needs to"I stated.
I looked in my wardrobe and there it was.
"Is there anything else you have stored in there you've not told us about".Bruce said.
"Yes but you'll find out later"I said winking. Bruce went flustered.
"It was a blue liquid that you inject in his veins, basically a super soldier serum, i've seen them do that before but then i got caught and punished."I murmured at the end "I hope this works"I said walking out the door.
