Regarding Age of Ultron.

[sciencesmash]

Can you blame me, or rather, can you blame him?

Things will be better this way.

I don't accept that.

[sciencesmash]

It's not a question of accepting it or not, it's just how it has to be.

[noplaceintheworld]

It doesn't have to be.

You don't have to go into hiding again. The lullaby was working, Bruce - we can do this.

[sciencesmash]

No it wasn't...

[noplaceintheworld]

We'll make it work.

I don't think you give us enough credit, Bruce.

[sciencesmash]

It was little more than a band aid covering up the real problem.

[noplaceintheworld]

What, the big guy? Bruce, you've helped people more than you've hindered them.

We might both be loners, but that doesn't mean we should just hide from all of our problems. We could really use you around here.

[sciencesmash]

Nat, here's the thing, though, it wasn't my idea to run away, it was his.

[noplaceintheworld]

Then... you should've done a better job convincing him otherwise.

[sciencesmash]

It got to the point where it was hurting him, maybe he needs the time alone.

[noplaceintheworld]

...okay.

[Like she could argue with that. So she tries to close herself off instead, distancing herself as she should have done in the first place.]

Just say goodbye next time. You were part of my team, even if we were loners.

[sciencesmash]

I'm sorry and I think he's sorry too. Not that this makes it any better.

[noplaceintheworld]

You both did what you had to do.

It's fine.

[sciencesmash]

You probably won't be rid of me forever. Just take care of yourself while I'm gone, okay?

[noplaceintheworld]

I always do.

You too.

[sciencesmash]

I will, don't worry about me.
