Chapter Ten
- Bruce's POV -
I woke with Naomi in my arms, I was hoping and praying that yesterday was just a dream. That Naomi was never that distraught over Tony. I looked down and let out a sigh, seeing her still draped in my dress shirt; I knew that everything that happened yesterday was real.
I pulled Naomi closer, knowing I wouldn't wake her up; I needed to feel her against me, to know I wouldn't lose her. I gazed up at the canopy that so delicately hung over our bed, letting out another sigh. What do I do? I can't lose Naomi, I just…can't. I blinked back tears at the thought of the woman resting beside me not being there anymore.
Even if she did love him, or care for him, Tony would ruin her for the rest of her life. It was a miracle she let me into her life, if she let him in and then he ran after his next victim as he always did… she would cease to exist as the Naomi I knew and loved…
I leaned over and kissed her lightly on the lips, not wanting to leave her, but I knew I had to talk to someone. Slowly I pulled my body out from underneath her, I watched as Naomi sunk into the bed, a tired hand reaching out and running along the now empty side of the bed. I grabbed it and kissed it gently, "I will be back soon. Rest." Her hand went limp and I knew she listened to what I told her to do.
A smile crept along my face as I took in her body. The eloquence and gracefulness to how she slept even amazed me. I had always seen Naomi as a poised person, it came from her training and I understood that, but she didn't understand that even the way she spoke or the way she smiles seemed so fluid to me; it was that or my love drunk eyes saw her for the caring and loving woman that she was.
"Jarvis?" I asked in the hushed tone, not wanting to wake Naomi.
"Yes Sir?" was the polite reply, it seemed like he even lowered his volume. I smiled at how an AI is more polite than its maker.
"I need you to unlock the safe for me please. I fear Naomi may have forgotten that I figured out how to get it in her exhausted state last night."
"Of course Sir." I smiled and said my thanks, walking through the bedroom, on my way to see Tony. "He is in his lab, sir." I stopped briefly, before walking out of the apartment.
Finally arriving at Tony's lab, I opened to door. "Not even going to knock Doctor?" was Tony's curt reply. Tony and I were friends, and he was one of the only people on this planet that didn't judge me for what I've done. Unfortunately the other person who feels that way is Naomi, and she ranks him.
"What did you do or say to Naomi yesterday that had her so distressed?" Tony was honestly shocked, either because I knew, because I had a slight edge to my voice or because he didn't know that's how he left her.
"She can't handle harsh emotions Tony. She feeds off of the energy around her, the emotional signals we give out. If you're feeling anything to the extreme, her body will absorb that from you and take it into herself. It's what she does to try and alleviate stress from those she loves and cares about." Speechless, Tony didn't say anything for a few minutes. He just rested his hands against the back of his head.
"I'm sorry. I was… I was drunk." I felt a flash of anger rush through me, taking a second to focus on my breathing, I forced myself to calm down.
"That's no excuse Tony." He raised his hands defensively and took a few steps backwards.
"I know, I know. But it's the only one I have. Look I was upset, Pepper ran off and I didn't know what to do. I was distraught and drunk so I went to go find you actually. But you weren't in your apartment. That's when I heard her call out. She literally ran to me Bruce and forced me to hug her." I let out a sigh, not knowing what to say.
"Have you ever tried to get out of her grip? It's impossible okay?" I knew he was trying to make me laugh but it wasn't working.
"Do you care for her?"
"What?" Tony said, like my question punched him in the gut and forced any cheekiness or arrogance out of his body. "Well… I mean I care about her sure."
"But do you want her? Do you crave her being beside you every waking moment because you cannot imagine it any other way? Because I do Tony and unlike you, I care about the people I love and I don't want them to leave me, I couldn't handle it." Tony's gaze dropped to the ground. I knew I went slightly too far but I couldn't help it. I almost felt… territorial.
"I'm sorry… Bruce I really am. I didn't know that would happen… I just." He broke off into silence, obviously trying to think of his word choice, not wanting to piss me off more. "What would you have felt if you just lost her and a friend embraced you? You would let loose and let all of those feelings out. I couldn't help it, truly Bruce… I am sorry. I can set the record straight." I shook my head.
"She's delicate Tony. You have to keep that in mind. It's a miracle she's with me now, that she allowed herself to care about another person in her life. Even her liking you as a friend is a god-blessed-gift. You don't get many of those." Tony laughed and I allowed myself to laugh with him.
"That is true Doctor. Okay so what's the best thing to say?" I honestly had to think about it for a second; I wasn't even sure how Naomi truly felt about what happened yesterday between her and Tony.
"I don't know. Give it a couple of days before saying anything okay? I will talk to her about how she's feeling." I looked at my watch and lightly growled. "She'll be awake by now, I should head back."
"You sure you're her boyfriend? You almost act like a father." Tony laughed but I felt my face go cold. Tony stopped laughing and almost looked scared.
"You didn't see her last night Tony. I've never seen her that way, and when you love someone who was left destroyed by another person, you want to make sure their better. Maybe one day you will know what that feels like." I felt the venom in my words but I didn't care. Tony went too far and he knew it.
I briskly walked back to see Naomi, wanting to make sure she didn't wake up feeling alone.
- Naomi's POV –
Slowly waking up, I stretched out my body almost catlike. I jumped as Jarvis spoke.
"Good Morning Miss. Mr. Banner asked me to give you the passcode for your closet when you woke up." I smiled and groaned as I rubbed my eyes. Slowly I rolled out of bed, not caring if I may accidentally expose myself to Jarvis.
"Wait, Jarvis how did you know I was awake?" A slight blush came over me, I felt my face get warm and my palms slightly sweaty. I really hoped that this kind program couldn't see my attire over the past few days.
"Sensors Miss, don't worry; I cannot see what you and Mr. Banner do in your home." A wave of relief came over me as I walked over to the entrance of my closet. "The passcode is 06 23 90." Slightly shocked and feeling very stupid, I punched in the dates to my birthday.
"Thank you Jarvis." I said, a slight annoyed tone to my voice, but that was more directed at myself. As I punched in the last number I heard a series of clicks unlock the door and it swung open automatically, revealing a room that was bigger than our bedroom.
The shelves were full of clothes and undergarments. The hangers were separated into pants, fancy shirts, dresses and lingerie. I smiled at Peppers taste, even though she had hurt Tony and therefor put me through the hell-hole of an emotional rollercoaster.
Every power had a downfall; I understood that. Especially one's that could potentially be as deadly as mine, we had to have negative sides to them. Just like how when Bruce turns into The Hulk, he's indestructible and could kill anyone or destroy anything… that didn't mean he wanted to though or that he could control it. I sighed as I slowly started to miss Bruce.
Taking off his shirt, his scent ran through my nose. I couldn't help but hold his shirt up to my face and take in his aroma.
"Miss me that much?" He said from behind me, I could tell me was being cheeky.
"You know it's rude to walk in on a lady when she's changing." I turned around and smiled at Bruce, who smiled back at me.
"Well…" He said, walking towards me. "Considering your attire over the past few days, I think we can make an exception." He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him, holding my eyes with his. Smiling he leaned down to kiss me lightly on the lips. When he pulled away I found myself following, trying to feel his skin so gingerly touch mine again.
"Promise me something." He said somber. I looked at him, but nodded. Something wasn't right but I didn't know what. I was worried and concerned but I didn't let it show. He inhaled deeply before speaking again. "Promise to always be mine. And to…" his voice trailed off but quickly came back. "Promise to never love another. My heart can't take in Naomi."
I felt like I ran into a brick wall at full speed, like I had fallen from 10 stories and had the wind knocked out of me. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't speak… I just wanted to kill the person who hurt Bruce so badly, but what was I to do when I was that person?
I placed my forehead against his chest and he held me, resting his chin on top of my hair. We stood in silence and I listened to his breathing pattern quicken. I wanted to scream, to hold him and tell him it will be okay. Yet part of me felt like I didn't deserve to have him, to be able to hold him and kiss him and love him. Because my powers betrayed him, hurt him and caused him pain… just as it had everyone else in my life.
I breathed in, letting out a shaky sigh. "Bruce, I would never…" I managed to whisper against him. I felt his shoulders shake in jarring movements; I didn't know what he was doing until I felt the top of my hair getting wet. I squeezed him tightly, not wanting to let go. How could I have been so stupid to think of Tony in that way, he was a friend and I hated seeing him like that but the emotions he was feeling for Pepper… they latched onto me and made me feel for him. Bruce had to have seen…
I looked up at him now; his eyes were red as rogue tears slid down his cheeks. "I am yours Bruce… forever." He smiled and kissed me swiftly. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my body against him, wanting to be as close as possible. I felt him waiver and his legs start to shake. I pulled back and looked at him with concern. "Bruce, what's that matter?"
He faintly smiled. "I'm just exhausted… I didn't sleep all too well last night." I grabbed his hand and lead him to the bed. He made a sound of protest and questioning but I just pushed him onto the bed.
"Stay." I demanded, and he did. He positioned himself on his back, resting his hands behind the back of his head. I left to walk to the kitchen and grabbed an apple and some orange juice. I rested them on his bedside table and then crawled over him.
"Eat and drink and then we can nap." He laughed at my tone, he knew there was no room for argument and that I was ready to wrestle him into submission if I needed to. He gulped down the juice and ate his apple, enjoying every part of it. Resting back down with a grin on his face, I knew he felt better. Bruce glanced up at me, brushing stray hair's from my face.
I rested my head against his torso, kissing his shirt softly. I moved as he breathed slowly, lost in thought. I closed my eyes and let the motion lull me to sleep.
I awoke that night, looking down at Bruce who was still asleep and I remembered that I was still naked. I crawled off of him and walked into my closet, grabbing some jeans and a plain white t-shirt. Oh the simplicity of comfortable clothes. How I have missed you.
As I walked out of my closet, I looked over at Bruce as he slept so peacefully, allowing a smile to flow from my lips.
I finally reached my destination, lightly knocking against the door. Tony opened it and looked shocked to see me. We stood in silence, waiting for the other to talk first, breaking the awkward silence. I sighed heavily. "May I come in?".
Tony stumbled and hurried to make room for me to enter. "Yes, of course. Please come in." I walked into his personal home, it took up a whole floor of the Stark Tower. "Um, can I get you a drink?" He offered politely. I think you've have enough of that for awhile.
"No thank you. I wanted to talk to you quickly while I have the time. Bruce is sleeping." Tony nodded and put his current drink down. He saw me eyeing it suspiciously.
"Don't worry, it's just coke. No emotional outbursts from me today."
"Tony…" I started to protest his words but he raised his hands and started to flail them around.
"No. No, do me a favour and don't protest please. Now, talk to me about what you want to talk about." Tony smiled and sat down on his couch, directing me to follow suit. Sitting, I braced myself for a potentially difficult conversation.
"I wanted to talk about yesterday. I'm… sorry for what you are going through but we cannot be anything more than friends. My abilities...compel me to take on the emotions of others, the more extreme the emotion, the more it effects me. I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest that night, and I'm sorry if I lead you to think that I had…" my words were cut off as I heard the door open. I looked up in a panic, hoping it wasn't Bruce. To my surprise I saw Pepper standing at the door, I hastily got up and looked at Tony.
"So you will have that Jet ready so I can get my dog?" Tony looked at me perplexed and confused.
"What?" He asked. Stupid boy. GO WITH THE STORY! You're supposed to be smart…
"My dog Chaos. You promised you would get him for me if I moved in here. Well I'm exchanging my 'Get my Dog' voucher now. I will let you know when I want to leave." I smiled at Tony and left the room swiftly. About to leave I turned around quickly. "Thank you Pepper for the amazing clothes by the way. I still can't believe they all belong to me." She smiled but before she could say anything, I closed the door, giving them their privacy.
I raced back to Bruce, craving to be with him. I walked into the house and I saw Bruce sitting on the couch. "There was a security breech. Jarvis was temporarily put offline for our apartment and when he came back up, there was this letter." Bruce raised a piece of paper in the air. "It's addressed to you."
I walked briskly over to him, panic setting in; I had only seen a letter like this once before and that was a month before my parent's died. I quickly broke the seal, opened the letter and began to read.
Dear Naomi,
It has been too long since we have seen each other. I wished to get our old family together; You, Rufe and I. Yet, I could not find Rufe anywhere, but I found you. What a life you are living now, and to share a bed with such a handsome man. His skin is so delicate and my oh my, do his lips taste nice. I will be seeing you soon Naomi, and if I find you are behind Rufe no longer being in my life, it will not be a pleasant visit you and I will share.
Hugs and Kisses,
S
I ripped up the letter, wanting it to disappear with the fear I felt. It was happening all over again. I looked at Bruce, knowing that me being near him would eventually lead to his death.

Any guesses as to who S is? It's my attempt at a cliff hanger, don't know how well it will go. xD
I just released another fic that I'm writing for my friend but I will try to not let it stop me from producing the chapters for this fanfiction. With summer coming though, I will probably get one out once per week, unless I feel like I have vexed some of you with my creative decisions, then I will work over-time to try to restore your faith in me :D
Review and let me know what you think about how this Fic has been over the last 10 chapters. Let me know what parts you love and what you weren't so fond of :) All feed-back is great feed-back because I will know what to avoid and what to you want to see more of.
As always, thank you for taking the time to read my fic.
