"Hey, big guy. We did it, the job's finished. Now I need you to turn this bird around, okay? We can't track you in stealth mode, so help me out."
When Bruce Banner decided to stay in the Avengers in 2012, he wasn't expecting a lot, but he found a couple of things he knew he'd miss. For one, the security of the Tower, and for another, a person who he could talk to easily.
Natasha Romanoff.
He certainly hadn't tried to talk to her. Ever since the other guy trapped her in a room with him, he's gone out of his way to avoid her. But they always somehow end up sitting and talking to each other. Soon enough, he fell.
When Ultron tried to decimate Earth by dropping a city, the Hulk had played a part in fighting him. Then he flew away on a Quinjet.
But what if he hadn't? What if he turned back at the video? What if Bruce had stayed?

"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
