The hot water drenched my skin; I shivered at the temperature difference. I sighed hard as I relaxed and allowed my mental shield to drop as the water surrounded me. My Phone played ‘S&M by Rihanna.” I gently sang along as the room slowly steamed up, my muscles where tense from my swift meeting with Loki. I soon exited the warm water of the shower to relax into my clothes, my hair was soaking wet as I began to apply my clothing to my dry body. I walked around my room grabbing different items of clothing, while swaying my hips, to a provocative song. I smiled at I did in my dark red jeans; I quickly pulled a black long sleeved shirt of my wet hair.

The song finally ended and was replaced by, ‘Paradise Lost by Hollywood Undead.’ My spun around in my room as the song was almost hypnotic, I knew all the words to the song, I couldn’t help joining in with the lyrics,

“Let it all burn, I will burn first, God I've tried, am I lost in your eyes? Just let me burn, it’s what I deserve. God I've lied, am I lost in your eyes?” suddenly I could hear Bruce Banner’s nonverbal voice inside my head,

how could I burst out like that? At least I can fall in love with someone and hold them but Liberty can never do that, I need to apologise to her, I never meant to hurt her at all.’ I walked up to my door and swiftly opened it to welcome the sight of a tired and rugged looking Bruce Banner,

“Liberty I’m so sorry for saying that to you. I never meant to hurt you, I just snapped. I’m Sorry.” He ran a hand through his rough brown hair and looked down at me with sad pale green eyes, I sighed and looked up at him,

“I know you’re sorry, I know I can never love anything human.” I sighed again but more heavily, as a pain returned to my chest,

“I fell in love once, it was five years ago now. I never thought it would work but he was willing to try just so he could be with me,” I gasped loudly as my heart felt like it was gripped by an invisible hand inside my chest,

“he wore gloves so he could hold my hands, we wore long sleeved tops so we could hold each other, but one rule was we could never kiss.” I breathed out shakily, and looked Bruce dead in the eye,

“on a Valentine’s day he kissed me, but everything went wrong, I kissed back.” I chocked a sob back,

“by kissing him I caused him seizures, he had to go to hospital, he was close to dead by the time he got there. I vanished from his life completely after that day.” My hands where shaky and stiff, and my feet where stuck to the floor beneath me in guilt,

“I’m sorry liberty, I never knew.” I turned away from him walked into my room, I looked over my shoulder to Bruce, and

“you can come in if you want to.” He nodded and walked up to me and joined me on sitting on the bed,

“only a few people know that story, I’d like to keep it that way.” I looked up into his eyes and saw they held a deepness I never saw before,

“I won’t tell anyone I promise.” I nodded, and looked down at my now not shaking hands. Suddenly there was a large shift causing me to fall from the bed along with Bruce Banner,

“what was that?” I growled lightly, Bruce chuckled lightly causing me to smile,

“that was engines to the helicarrier starting up, it means we’ll be ascending soon.” I shook my head,

“it’s nearly six o’clock.” And right on cue my stomach began to growl lowly,

“Yeah its nearly time for dinner, we’ll be meeting in the main hall at half past six.” And with this he stood up, and walked towards the door,
