Lily blinked her eyes many times. She looked around, momentarily wondering where she was. When she sat up there was a pain in her chest that made her fall to her elbows, sneering at the immense pain. "Ah…! Now I remember what happened…" She sighed. Her hip hurt to twist and it felt like she was pulling on a tightly strained muscle. "Ah…fudge," She breathed. She lay back down, staring up at the ceiling. She was in a lot of pain and could barely move without hurting herself. She looked around the small room. She was alone. On the counter across from her was a small note and a bottle of pills. "Are you kidding me? You couldn't have put it closer by chance?"

She moved like a turtle, everything hurting terribly. She peeled off the heart rate monitor patches from her chest and hopped off the bed, favoring her right foot. The jolt of the tiny jump rocked through her body, making her sneer. "Ugh." She hobbled over to the counter, leaning against it to read the note. If pain is minor take three pills. If pain is major take four…or five. Bruce. She quickly opened the bottle and gulped down five pills dry. She searched the room for a cane or something she could use to help her walk, putting any pressure on her right leg hurt like a mother… Of course there was nothing. She found her armor on the opposite counter. Lily looked down, her tunic had been closed thank god. She hobbled to the other counter and grabbed the red gem off of it, leaving the rest there for now. It wasn't going to fit over her hip brace.

Lily hobbled through the halls, clinging to the wall so she wouldn't fall. Men and women that walked around eyed her, some trying to help. She just brushed them off. She got in an elevator, taking the back corner. A few stops, a few more people, and she finally made it to the main level at Controls. She hobbled into the wide room unnoticed. Fury stood, guiding the ship at the center. Maria stood next to him. The crew was all working steadily at their posts at the bottom of the steps. She noticed that a few of the computers were following the whereabouts of Tony and Natasha, following them via satellite video.

Lily sat down, making a bunch of noise as she tried to sit in a way it wouldn't hurt. "God, when will the pills kick in?" She asked herself. "What in the world are you doing up here Williams?" Fury asked. Lily shrugged, "I feel like I've been gone for days. I know something is up and I would like to help." He eyed her unhappily. "You know…in a way that a wounded girl can." He gave her a half frown, "You should be resting Lily, you aren't going to be able to help us with a shattered hip." Lily nodded and rolled her eyes. "That much I agree on, but luckily I should be able to heal myself within the next day or two."

Fury leveled his gaze with hers. "Even when that is done I can't let you out. You still might be useful to him and I can't risk him taking control of you."

Lily let out a long sigh. "He already has me so he says. Said something about me and the sword but I can't remember what that was anymore." Fury just stared at her. "How many days have I been asleep?" Fury smirked, "Nine days." Lily leaned forward, a moment of searing pain passing through her because of the quick motion. "Are you serious?" He gave her a 'really' look, saying, "Always." She sat back, slowly this time. "I've been asleep for nine days… Have you guys found Loki? Did he leave? How are Tony and Steve?"

Fury stood straight, turning to look at the monitors of some crew down below. "They are running on a wild goose chase now. In the short time you were out, Loki managed to let in some more Chitauri-though gladly not on such a large scale as Manhattan. He obtained his Tesseract empowered staff from our most secure facilities and he has your sword." Lily smiled, "So not much then." Fury smirked, "Not much."

Lily stared down at the monitors of the crew. They were following Iron Man via satellite footage; he was chasing Loki on one of those golden chariots. "There's not a chance he could open another portal is there?" Fury shook his head, "No, not without the Tesseract. Luckily that is on Asgard. We aren't sure what his plans are, he's been having us chase him wildly through cities and he hasn't done a damn thing to them but let loose a few Chitauri." Lily frowned, "Why would he want to bide his time?" Fury shrugged, "Your guess is as good as mine right now. We are just trying to capture him and put him back in a cell so he can't do anything more."

Lily nodded, watching Iron Man try to blast him out of the sky. "You say he's letting lose only a few Chitauri at a time, how?" He brought up the live feed of him and Iron Man. Loki held her sword, it's power clearly visible from the faint glow around it. "Your sword. He seems to be able to open a small portal that lets out four or five at a time." Lily watched as Loki opened a small traveling portal. She zoomed in on the portal, looking into it. She recognized the grey landscape. "The Chitauri have taken over Jotunheim." Fury looked at the same thing she did, "How do you know that is Jotunheim?" Lily gestured with her arms as she tried to find the right words. "Um…remember that day you caught me meditating?" He nodded. "Well I was actually somehow on a different world-Jotunheim, I was talking to my…mother. I obviously didn't truly travel there but my mind had and from what I saw that is Jotunheim."

Fury's lips straightened in annoyance, he didn't much like her explanation but he held his tongue. Lily stared at the opening and watched as three Chitauri were able to squeeze through just before it closed. They sped off on their golden chariots, one being shot down by Iron Man. A curious thought crossed her mind. "Have they actually hit Loki yet? Like given him a good punch across the mouth?" Fury gave her an odd look, "Not as much as I would like to see but yes." She gave the table a trivial look than looked up at Fury. "I don't know if you saw with all the eyes you have," She waved her hands at him, "No dissing meant. But during the incident in Manhattan, I don't know, I shared this weird connection with Loki." Fury stared at her, "Spit it out Lily." She smiled sheepishly, "Well, whenever he was hit by something that majorly hurt him such as when Hulk pounded him like a rag doll-so was I."

Fury quickly stood straight, a motion of 'you have got to be kidding me'. Lily held her hands up, "But it hasn't happened since which means it could be gone. God I hope it's gone." She sighed. She looked at the buttons in front of her, "Is there any way I could talk to Tony?" Fury pressed a button, "Go ahead."

"What do you want Fury? I'm kind of in the middle of something." Tony stated, sounding a little winded. "Hey Tony, it's Lily."

"Hey, how are you feeling kiddo? Long time no see." Lily laughed but was given a glare from Fury to get to the point. "Will you do something for me?" She asked. "Um…only if it involves hitting Loki for you." Lily smiled, "It does. I need you to hit him as hard as you can anywhere on his chest or back," She eyed herself, "Ah wait, make that his head."

He laughed, "You got it kiddo."

Fury let go of the button, "Are you sure you want to test it? If it's true you could be hurt worse than now." Lily shrugged, "Let's hope it's not." They watched as Tony chased Loki, trying to get a good shot at him. Lily began to get all full of jitters, waiting for the hit to come. She held on tightly to the red gem. At every blast Loki seemed able to evade it. Lily glared at him on the video screen and he seemed to smile back, which completely sent willies down her spine. "You saw that right?" She asked. She shook her body, trying to get rid of the willies.

Her head was thrust down against the table, making a large bang that made everyone in the room turn to look. Fury pressed the button, "Don't hit him like that again Stark."

"Why?" Fury looked at Lily who sat up smiling like a drunk. "It has consequences for Lily. Anything harder than, I suppose, a human punch is also felt by Lily." Tony sighed unhappily, "You can't be serious." Fury pressed a few buttons that put Controls on Tony's face screen, "Try it again with a little less power." Loki was still reeling from the first hit so he was easily able to get in another hit. Simultaneously Lily was slammed down against the table. "That is so unfair," Tony hissed.

Fury turned off the screen and walked over to Lily's side. "You okay?" Lily gave him a thumbs up, her head still on the table. "Just peachy sir."

"You should go back down to medical and rest some more. Probably check to make sure you don't have a concussion too." Lily sighed and sat up, her nose bleeding. She held up the gem, "Just give me a moment to focus..." She slurred. He cocked an eyebrow at her. Her head dropped and she dropped the gem at his feet. He tilted her back to see what was wrong. She was out cold. "So much for finally waking."
