She had been left alone in the room for nearly three hours before an explosion sounded. With instincts honed over a century, Allen unlocked her chains, kicked open the door, and sprinted towards the cells.

She ran down the corridors, gunfire and her own heartbeat ringing in her ears. She tried to block it out, the sound of bullets hitting flesh with sickening squelches, and the strangled screams of the doomed.

She turned the corner, and cursed when she found herself facing a group of brainwashed soldiers, all heavily armed and pointing at her. She spied the dead SHIELD agents at their feet, and a wave of bloodstained memories and bullets flooded her body. Her blood splattered everywhere, pain exploding from every part of her as she was filled with holes. She closed her eyes, and she allowed gravity to pull her to the floor.

She listened to her-would-be-killers walk away, heavy boots thumping against the floor, until she could no longer hear them. She opened her eyes, the last of her wounds having sealed itself shut, and met the glassy, unseeing eyes of one of the fallen agents.

For a heartbeat, she could only see Lenalee's violet eyes, wide with terror in death, then they were replaced by the dishwater blue of the agent. Allen let out a shaking sigh, and with bloody fingers, shut the fallen woman's eyes. She stood, her bare feet and hands painted red by blood. The cold air brushed against her skin, her tattered shirt offering no protection.

"And I liked this shirt." She huffed, and slipped off her shirt. Thankfully, SHIELD had been considerate enough to provide her with a sports bra. She swiped a hair tie off one of the corpses, and tied her hair back. With a final look around, she took off once more, her eyes alight with raging fire.

Allen arrived at the cells, just in time to see Coulson fall to the floor, a gaping hole in his chest, the gun he was holding landing a few feet away. Loki stood over him, grinning maliciously, his scepter's razor-sharp tip covered in blood- Coulson's blood, she realized with anger. As if he had just noticed her, Loki looked over to her, his electric blue eyes gleaming.

"I was wondering where you'd scampered off to, woman." His saccharine voice lilted over her, and then he vanished. Then a spear was thrust through her chest, Loki standing in front of her, grinning victoriously. She saw red.

How dare he.

How dare he!

With that thought, Allen allowed her world to fade, and Alice came out to play. And Alice was pissed.

Alice was the side of Allen that had started as the childish impulses from her youth, and had slowly grown more and more powerful as the years passed. She was silly and ditsy, but also sadistic and bloodthirsty. Unlike the Hulk, who smashed and dashed, Alice was a true berserker, and she reveled in it. She was a harbinger of death, striking down those foolish enough to cross her path with a sweet smile on her face. The angrier she got, the more devastating her attacks were.

Not that Loki knew.

Alice glanced at the spear sunk in her chest and smiled that insipid little grin.

"Was that supposed to hurt?" She chirped. Loki just stared at her. This was perplexing. He'd never had someone fail to die before. But there she stood, calm and cool, even with blood dribbling down her chin and a spear through her chest. He had a new question now.

What in the fucking Nine Realms was she?

She narrowed her eyes, bared her teeth in a feral smile, and clenched her fists.

"My tuuuurn~!" She sang, her voice echoing ominously. There was a threat- no, a promise of retribution- lacing her words like poison coating a dagger.

Loki jerked back, pulling the spear from her body, a fresh spray of ruby blood flying from the gaping hole. As he watched, flesh and blood regenerated in the hole, and within a matter of seconds, all that was left was her pale skin. There was no sign that just seconds before, she'd had a gaping hole in her chest.

She wiped her chin on her forearm, and locked eyes with him.

"Get ready." She said, and she was off.
