Betty was being stubborn. He was saving the world. But she still thought Bruce could have called her-- could have left her a message. The last she heard from him was her necklace in the mail.

She was heartbroken, to be honest. She wanted a life with him. It was too late now. It was all too late. She wanted children with his last name, his eyes, his nose. Betty wanted to live in a house with him and teach biology at Culver and get tenure.

But now she was on a shapeship with a monster she helped create. A monster that hadn't spoke to her in years, who she watched save the world a few times. It was strange.

She waited eagerly for the sound of a knock. She had so much to say... it was going to choke her.

This was terrifying. And maybe it shouldn't have been. Maybe it wasn't as bad as all that. Maybe compared to fighting off Centauri or Ultron, this was nothing. But those were the Other Guy. This was Bruce. And Bruce was nervous. Possibly even scared.

He'd missed her. So many times he'd wanted to contact her, to try again. But he'd wanted to give her the chance to move on. She couldn't do that with him always popping back in. And she deserved better. So much better. His life was no place for a woman with her talent and abilities.

Hesitantly, he knocked. She'd open the door to find him fidgeting. It was, after all, his go to when anxious. And boy, was he anxious.

Just the sight of him took her breath away. His fidgeting made her smile softly. There went all her anger. The way she felt for him was like a plane crash that never hit the ground. It would never hit the ground, as far as she was concerned. A drop in her stomach and a twist of fear and relief all at once. With no end. Even when it looked-- very much so, eight years worth, of ending.

Betty leaned against the door. "Hi."

	"No, no roommate. But we're walking, remember?" She stepped out and closed the door behind her. "There's stars to see, and places where my voice will echo will I yell at you." She was joking, she wasn't going to yell at him. Even though she wanted to. "So, where do we start?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Okay, a small one." And she let out a squeal and squeezed his arm. "Eee! They're so young." She let out a sigh and let go of his arm. "Why didn't you contact me again after you sent me my necklace?" Well, might as well rip the Band-Aid off. She fiddled with the said necklace, roped around her throat.

	"Oh! It's been awhile since then. I was looking for you, and couldn't find you." Then again, Bruce was good at that. "This enhanced woman, was she..." Betty looked down, trying to remember the name. "Wanda Maxi.. noff? Maximoff? Do you know?" Because if that was the case, Bruce missed out on a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smiled softly when he called them amazing. "Yeah, we sure are amazing with what we made." "It's been about a year..." He disappeared. Even her father didn't know where he was. "You were gone. Tony probably hid you. What does he remember?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
