Clint paced around the hospital waiting room hoping for a miracle. He kept remembering the past night and how he had put Mary in grave
danger. Deep in his thoughts, Dr. Vincent Drake came to Clint and said, "Mary is still in a coma. Her head received minimal injuries but her
chest and back did not. We would like to ask you if you would make the decision to take her off life-support or keep her on." Clint sank down
in a chair bawling. Thinking that she had past, he made the decision to give the go-ahead for pulling her off of life-support. Just then as he was
signing the papers, one of the nurses came and said, "Dr. Drake, the patient in room 103 has come-out of her coma and is wanting to see

Dr. entered. He signaled Clint and he moved towards him. "Mr. Barton your fiancé will be able to leave at the end of the week. She will need
physical therapy for a month and a half. I think it is best if you stay here for at least two or three months, until she is fully recovered." Clint
agreed and sat down next to Mary and read her one of her favorite books. Clint thought to himself that he would protect her and keep her from every danger
that would head her way. Little did he know that she would receive more protection than she wanted not only from someone she knew, but from one whom
she did know, but as a child. One of her biological siblings, from Asguard... Loki
