Black Widow wasn't sure if the fight with Aksel had taken longer than she had thought or if the rest of the Avengers were simply more destructive this time around. Either way, when Jarvis, Coulson, Clint, and herself were finally back on the ground floor, the fight was over.
Most of the scientists hadn't put up a fight at all and currently Thor and Captain America were guarding them and the few Hydra agents that were still alive. Smith was among them. Iron Man flew over and started to say, "S.H.E.I.L.D.'s bringing more—" when he stopped upon seeing Coulson and Clint. Jarvis was carrying Coulson while Black Widow was supporting most of Clint's weight.
"Tony, get Coulson to someone, quickly," said Clint.
As Jarvis handed Coulson over to Tony he asked, "What happened to him? What happened to both of you?"
"I'll explain later but right now Coulson's in a serious condition. He needs medical attention now."
"I guess it's a good thing I'm back then," Bruce suddenly said. He just changed back into himself and was shivering like crazy from the cold as he held up his pants. "Tony, get Coulson out of here and try to make him as comfortable as possible on the plane. Then come back for me."
Iron Man nodded in understanding as he quickly flew off with Coulson.
"Let me look at you for now Clint," suggested Bruce.
"First I'm going to go get you some clothes," replied Clint as he trudged over to where Smith was. The others watched with eyebrows raised as they wondered what he was going to do. "Give me your clothes Smith."
"What—"
"I said give me your clothes and if you don't I swear to god I'll make you feel double the amount of pain Coulson felt," growled Clint.
Smith quickly removed his shirt and pants and was now the one shivering in the cold as he stood in his underwear with the others.
"Here, you go Bruce. They might not fit perfectly but I'm sure that's okay for now."
"I'm going to take it you don't like that guy."
"No I don't. He's the one who had Coulson tortured and treated like a guinea-pig."
The moment Clint said this Jarvis' eyes seemed full of rage. Nobody stopped him as he marched over to Smith. In fact, while he did, Bruce put on the clothes and then began to see how Clint was doing with Natasha by his side. Both Thor and Captain America seemed suddenly fascinated by the other prisoners as well.
Jarvis grabbed Smith by the neck and asked, "Were you the one who tortured Coulson?" When Smith didn't say anything, he yelled, "Where you?"
"Yes!" croaked out Smith as he tried to get enough air. "I was the one who wanted him hurt! I preformed tests on him just please don't kill me!"
Out of all the men that Jarvis had killed today Smith probably deserved it the most. Jarvis' hand tightened around Smith's throat but eventually Jarvis let go, letting Smith fall to the ground. Jarvis knelt down beside him and in a cold voice said, "I don't like to kill. It's just not something I take any joy in so I won't kill you. However—"
And here he paused for effect.
"— for the rest of your life you will be imprisoned with no rights of any kind and you'll wish that I had killed you here and now."
Jarvis then moved away as he left Smith to shiver from the cold but mostly from fear. He then went back over to where Bruce, Natasha, and Clint were.
"You need food and water desperately," Bruce was saying. "For at least a week, you need to stay off any missions so that you can get your health back and don't you dare argue with me because I know that any other doctor would say the exact same thing."
Clint nodded as Natasha kissed him on the cheek, obviously happy that he would be okay. At that moment, Tony was back again.
"S.H.E.I.L.D. is almost here so they'll be taking control of all the prisoners so once they arrive we can leave."
"My suggestion is, and I'm sure you all would agree with me, is that Natasha, Clint and I go leave now so that I can get both Clint and Coulson to a hospital sooner. Everyone else can then go back with S.H.E.I.L.D." said Bruce.
"All right, I'm fine with that," replied Tony. "Here, I'll carry Clint over to the plane while you and Natasha started walking that way."
"I'm going to," Jarvis quickly put in.
"Fine by me," said Tony as he gestured for Clint to go towards him.
"You are freezing, you know that Tony?"
"Hey, it's either this or walking and I'm pretty sure it'd take you quite a while to walk," shot back Tony as he then flew Clint back to the plane.
As they left, Bruce, Natasha, and Tony hurried back to the plane on foot. When they got there, Tony had already gotten the plane ready so they flew off immediately.
