The wind rushing past Bruce’s head was not nearly as alarming as the blood that was rapidly staining his hands. He would have called Thor any number of colourful names if it wasn’t for the fact that there was a lump in his throat that he couldn’t talk past.
Sometimes Thor did stupid, harmless things. This was not one of those things.
And it was his fault.
That bullet had been meant for him, not Thor, but Thor had been in the way and been shot instead. And it didn’t matter that Thor didn’t seem too bothered by the wound – no, instead he’d been worried about Bruce and gotten him out of there as fast as he could – because that didn’t change the fact that Thor had gotten shot and it was all Bruce’s fault.
He’d been stupid. He knew that there were people out there who wanted him dead so that they could pick him apart, figure out how to replicate the Hulk, but he’d just… when he was with Thor, he didn’t really think about that.
Then this happened and Bruce was reminded, as he tried to slow the bleeding until they were somewhere where Thor could get proper medical attention, that he was a danger to everyone around him. Just being around them was enough to get them hurt or worse and he hated that, but he hated himself more.
It was all his fault.
FIN.
