Bruce was glad he had much better control over the other guy then he did a few years ago. It allowed him to stand there and take the punches like a champ without a shade of green. "Do I look happy," he asks softly, "Do you think I wanted to leave without saying goodbye. I didn't. If there had been any other choice we would have taken it. But we both knew the second that plane landed and we stopped being useful we would have been locked in a cage."

"Natasha...I love you....I tried not to, thought it I denied that you were interested nothing would happen. I was wrong and leaving you was the hardest thing I've ever done. And yes that includes leaving Betty."
