Lullaby(Bruce x Reader){TBC One-Shot}

“HEY HEY …CAN ANYONE COPY!?”

“There’s some interference on the coms.”

“I KNOW THERE IS BRUCE! BUT WE NEED TO KNOW WHY!?”

“Your…you’re right…”

“No no I’m sorry, I can do this.” You sighed heavily trying to contact the team.

Ultron had gone to see Klau a black market arms dealer that was more shady then the shadows of the moon. The team had gone in and you along with Bruce stayed in the jet. All you knew was that a fight had broken out and now coms were down. The enhanced were working with Ultron and the team only had Hulk for back up.

“Bruce, see if you can see anyone outside.” You said.

“Think it’s a code green (y/n)?” Bruce asked.

“No we need to know what’s going on in there first. Cap…Widow…anyone hear me?” You tried to raise them.

There was a sudden burst of air, which made you turn around to see one of the enhanced wave her hand near Bruce’s head. You withdrew your gun and pointed it at her.

“Step away from him NOW!” you ordered.

She turned to you and advanced, you shot the ground in front of her.

“Stay Back and Hands Up!”

“I am not your problem…” She trailed off nodding her head to Bruce.

Bruce was thrashing about outside the jet and his color was showing.

“What did you do…”

The female laughed which made you hit her with the butt of your gun. Just as you were about to point it at her again the gun was knocked from your hands. You were pushed to the ground. The female was back on her feet with some assistances from and silver hair guy. He picked her up and quickly disappeared.

“(y/n)….you…opy…can…anyone…copy.” You heard Tony.

“Tony I’m here, what’s going on?” You tapped you com

“Ultron is gone but I see someone let Bruce out.”

“That wasn’t me that chick did something to him, we need Nat” You said.

“She is not going to much help neither is Cap and Thor.” Hawkeye chimed in.

“Guess Veronica will have to do…” Tony said

“Wait…I got this.” You said

“(y/n) now is not the time to play hero with civilian lives at stake.” Tony said.

“No it’s not but with Nat out I’m in. I’m suiting up come grab me Tony.” You said opening up a case.

You were already in a half your gear you just needed your add-ons. You put on you heads up display and slid on the gloves. You heard Tony outside.

“You sure you want to do this?”

“Never been more sure in my life. Leave Veronica as a last resort, okay?” You tapped your display turning it on.

Tony grabbed you and you were off flying to the city. You could hear the roars of anger. You spread out your arms and opened your hands.

“Are they working?” Tony asked.

“With you flying with me the frequency is higher so he will hear us coming. I want that.” You said monitoring the sounds.

Tony dropped you in the crowded streets of fleeing civilians. He circled around to grab Hulks attention. You finished prepping your devices.

“Nano give me frequency adjustment and levels display.” You said.

Nano was a VI you created for your suit, it proved useful in your work outside the suit as well. You were able to upload it anywhere and it could provide assistance. Jarvis had taught Nano a few things before…well.

“We are coming your way.” Tony informed you.

“Copy, I’m ready.” You shook out your fists.

You heard the roar and saw a car fly through the intersection. You opened your hands and began moving them in a circular motion. Through the display you saw the sounds you were making and kept them steady. Hulk came rounding the corner at that point. You took a deep breath and moved your arms around frantically. Hulk snapped his head in your direction and cringed at the sound that only he could hear.

“Come on Hulk.” You said under your breath.

You stopped and waited for him to shake off the distraction. He then came barreling towards you.

“Shouldn’t you be running…” Tony started to comment.

When Hulk was close enough you swung your hand up then down before turning and activating your skates. You maneuvered your way through the stopped cars, keeping one hand out and open so Hulk could follow the sound. There were sounds of destruction behind you quickly got louder. You took a quick glance to see how far Hulk had made it.

“(Y/N)! LOOK OUT!” Tony yelled into your ear.

You snapped you head forward just in time to see a stationery car in your way. You tried to maneuver over it but you lost your balance and flew off the back of the car. Rolling to a stop you laid still knowing Hulk was now looming over you. You could feel him bending down to look at you closely. His roar made you cringe and curl up. You uncurled and rolled over to look up at the enraged green guy.

“Hulk…please you need to calm down…please.” You started to move your hands slowly.

His eyes locked with yours and you brought yourself up to sit still moving your hands as you went.

“…(y/n)” Tony said

“shh…Tony I got this…” you said calmly.

You brought yourself to stand disengaging you roller blades, steading your movement of you frequency with you hands. Hulk seemed dazed so you knew it was working.

“Hulk, listen to the sounds and listen to my voice.” You said taking a step back and he followed.

“Barton, what your ETA to my location?” You radioed in.

“Bout 3 mins, Tony is flying in your area. Are you ok?”

“So far so good, let see if I can make him change.” You said changing the frequency of the sounds.

Hulk snorted and took a deep breath.

“Good, you’re doing very good.” You said encouragingly as you continued to walk backwards.

“Your coming up to an open area (y/n) be careful.” Tony commed in.

Something rushed passed you and changed the frequency of your sounds. Hulk’s dazed demeanor changed back to anger.

“Shit…” was all you could mutter

You were sent fly hitting a car. You were glad to have your helmet on but the rest of you screamed in pain.

You felt giants hands lift you up and begin to squeeze.

“Argh!” you flinched ands struggle to get out.

His red eye glaring at you, you felt you ribs cracking under the pressure. As a last resort you swung your hands up and brought them down. You fell to the ground gasping for air

“(y/n)! Are you okay?!” Tony was yelling in your ear.

You couldn’t get out a reply as once again you were sent flying this time hitting a side of a building and heard your ribs break in the process.

“Ugh” You cough and saw blood on the ground.

There was a roar and the ground shook.

“Bruce…please.” You struggled to lift your head.

“I’m coming in with Veronica.” You heard Tony say.

“Wait…just give me…one last chance.” You said determined.

“Are you crazy I’m pretty sure you whole rib cage is broken, you need medical attention. One more hit like that and…”

“Tony…stand by…please…”

“…Alright…”

The shadow was over you and you struggled to lift yourself up into a seated position. It was painful but you managed. The green giant beat his chest and snorted down at you. You lift you hand in protest.

“Nano…disengage the gauntlet…”

There was a quick hiss and the gauntlet fell to the ground. He eyed the fallen piece of you and looked back to you. You started to slide of your helmet and let it fall to your side. You face seemed to catch Hulk off guard, his breathing slowed.

“Hey…Hulk” You coughed a smile.

The red was still lingering in his eyes but it wasn’t as bright.

“Nano…low humming frequency and pulse cycle 16 bps” You ordered.

The gauntlet on you right hand vibrated a little and Hulk took notice to the sound he was hearing.

“Nano…overlay code “Lullaby”…” You coughed harshly and gripped you ribs with your free hand.

The medley started playing and Hulk recoiled a little. His expression softened and red began to disappear.

“There…you…go…” It was getting hard for you to speak.

Calm crossed his face before the flash of horror. He reached out to you and you touched his huge hand with yours. You leaned forward too much and fell but you didn’t hit the ground. He had stopped you from hurting herself more. He was getting smaller and his eyes had tears in them.

“It’s okay big guy…you’re fine…you’re going to be okay…” You tasted fresh blood in your mouth.

“(y/n) what’s happening?...” Clint com’d in.

You ignored him and watched Hulk’s color turn flesh tone and his hard features soften. Still cradling you in his arms the entire time. He wrapped his very human hand around yours.

“I…I’m so sorry.” He cried.

“Hey…It’s okay Bruce…you…he…didn’t mean it.” You let go of his hand and brought it up to his cheek..

He opened his tear filled eyes and locked them with yours. Those eyes that were always so gentle, those eyes you fell for when you were brought in to work in labs at Stark Tower. You could get lost in the eyes forever.

You started coughing and flinched recoiling your hand holding yourself tightly.

“TONY! HELP ME!” Bruce screamed to the sky.

You eyesight was fading, the fuzziness started on the edge of your vision and worked its way inward. You caught a glimpse of shiny red metal. Bruce was holding you close.

“(y/n)…please stay awake…come on…keep your eyes open.” Bruce was speaking in between his sobs.

You felt light and the sun got brighter before something covered it up. There were voices. You were in and out of conciseness; someone took your hand and held on tight.

“(y/n) can you hear me?”

You nodded you head slowly struggling to open your eyes.

“She is stable but her injuries are bad. She needs professional help.”

“I’m…okay…for now.” You muttered.

“Try not to talk, almost half your ribs are crack or broken.” Natasha said gripping your should.

“Is…is Bruce okay?” you asked.

“I’m right here.” He gave your hand a squeeze.

“…good…” you gave a small smile.

“I’m sorry.” He said.

“It’s okay…really.”

“No it’s not, I…he could have killed you.”

“…wasn’t your…his…fault…”

“She is right you know.” Clint piped up.

“Not the point, what happened to us down there?” Steve said.

“…that girl…has some…mind power…” You coughed.

“Shh take it easy (y/n). Natasha give her some more morphine.” Bruce instructed.

“I…lo…uo…Bruce.” You muttered.

“What was that?” Bruce came closer.

“I…I love…you…” you struggled to speak clearly as tears blurred your vision.

Natasha left your side and pulled the makeshift curtain to give you two privacy in the jet.

“(y/n)…” Bruce put his free hand on your cheek.

“Sorry….didn’t tell…you sooner…” You said.

“No, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you at all…” Bruce looked at you.

You shift your head to bring his full face into view, there were tears streaming down his face.

“(y/n) I love you.” He gave you hand a kiss and squeezed.

You smiled back at him, he caressed your cheek and came into closer. Placing such a gentle kiss on your lips, you gasped which made you flinch a little. As he pulled away you smiled faltered and a bad coughing fit started. The monitored you were hooked up to started beeping like crazy. Fresh blood was coming out of your mouth as Bruce yelled for help. The last thing you saw was Bruce’s horror stricken face before it went black.

You wouldn’t know the outcome of the fight with Ultron. You would not be introduced to Vision. You wouldn't find out that Hulk was gone. You wouldn’t know anything because you were in SHIELD's medical facility in a coma. The only way they could save you was to put you in one. What kept you alive was knowing the man you love, loved you back even though he wasn’t there. From time to time you got visitors they talked to you for hours, updating you on things. Whether you could hear them or not didn’t matter. They wished you to get well soon.

Somewhere there was a green guy remembering you before he hurt you. His green eyes looked up at the stars and visualized every detail about you. One day he would return, one day he would see you again. One day he will see your bright smile.
