Chapter 14: I'm sorry for not updating in a loooong time. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Bruce felt very relieved that he didn't have to he didn't have to face that wrath of Natasha. He was going to be more careful from now on. Unfortunately Natasha's warning had no effect on Tony who kept winking at Bruce. Tony would even make suggestive jokes whenever Bruce and Natasha were around each other.

Natasha kept telling Bruce to ignore him but he was having a hard time doing that. There wasn't anything going on between the two of them and the fact that Tony kept implying there was, was infuriating him.

Eventually Tony got tired of bothering them and went back to teasing poor Steve. It seemed like Tony was forgetting all about them and everything was going back to normal.

Bruce began to notice that Natasha was acting rather strange. He noticed she would always find some excuse to avoid being with him. Whenever he asked her to sit with him at lunch she would say she was needed by Clint or someone. He hoped that he hadn't done anything to offend her. Thinking back the only thing he could think of that might have angered her was his little blunder. He guessed Natasha hadn't forgiven him for accidently letting Tony know they had spent their vacation together.

Feeling awful he decided to go up to Natasha and apologize again. Their friendship was very important to him and he didn't want to ruin it because he was an idiot.

He later found Natasha walking towards him in one of the several halls in the builds. When he went up to Natasha, he could just tell she wanted to run for the hills. "Natasha, we need to talk," he began before she could make up some excuse to get away from him.

"What do you want to talk about Bruce?" she asked. As she said this Bruce saw her make sure that no one was in the hall.

"I've noticed that you've been avoiding me. Have I done something to anger you? Are you mad about the whole Tony thing?" he asked determined to get to the bottom of this.

Natasha's face softened a little, "No, no it's nothing that you've done. I'm not mad or anything."

"Then why have you been avoiding me?" he asked.

"I haven't been avoiding you. It's just that I didn't want Tony to think we were together or anything."

"Oh, I see," he said. So basically she was avoiding him so that Tony wouldn't think they were dating.

"Yeah, that's all. I've also been super busy. I have a mission coming up and everything."

"I don't want to keep you from your work. I'll see you around. "Bruce left the hall and went inside his lab. When he got there he didn't really feel like working. Much to his annoyance Tony was in the lab.

"Hello, friend of mine!" exclaimed Tony. "You ready to start working?"

"What are you so happy about?" snapped Bruce.

"I just saw you and Natasha outside talking. I'm glad that Natasha isn't avoiding you because she's mad."

"WHAT? You were eavesdropping on our conversation?" yelled Bruce enraged. He just couldn't believe Tony.

"You guys are just so fascinating it's like watching a soap opera," he said oblivious to Bruce's rage.

Bruce was starting to heave. It looked like he was expanding. He was beyond angry. Why couldn't Tony just leave them alone?

Finally Tony turned and looked at Bruce. When he did he nearly jumped back. "Oh my god! Bruce clam down!" he yelled in shock.

Bruce's face was turning to a sickly shade of green.

"Bruce calm down! You don't want to destroy this entire building!" Tony was starting to get very concerned and afraid. This was his building that he had just rebuilt. The last thing he needed was to spend more money rebuilding it.

It was too late, Bruce was morphing into the hulk and there was nothing Tony could do about it. Not knowing what else to do Tony decided to run for it.

The Hulk roared in rage as he raced after Tony destroying the lab and the walls of the building in the process.

People were running out of the way and trying to find the exit. The building was in chaos as the Hulk ran after Tony showering the people in the building with debris.

Natasha was getting out of one of the offices in the building when she heard that roar. Goosebumps ran down her neck. 'Oh god not again' she thought.

She heard the screams of her co-workers and the sound of the Hulk's roar. All of the sudden she saw Tony running by her with a look of terror.

"I woke up the sleeping giant," he yelled as he disappeared out of sight.

Just then the Hulk appeared running after Tony. He paused momentarily when he saw Natasha. He left her and continued his pursue for Tony.

Half an hour later the Hulk morphed back into Bruce Banner. Just as Tony had predicted the Hulk had nearly destroyed the entire building. Everyone was pissed off at Tony. Tony nearly cried when he saw what had become of his newly renovated Stark Towers.

"What am I going to tell Pepper?" he moaned. "She's coming home in two days."

"It's your own damn fault. You deliberately pissed Bruce off and now you have to pay the price," snapped Natasha.

"What did you say to Bruce that caused him to turn into the Hulk?" asked Steve.

Tony did not answer.
