"Betty?" Clint asked as he gently picked her up in his arms. "Dr. Smith?" She didn't move and her head lulled over his arm, her right hand hanging and bloody. She dripped blood from the hole through her abdomen, amassing a large trail as he stormed through the cell and out into the hall.

"Give her here," Tony stated, holding his arms out so he could pass her on. "I can get there quicker." Clint quickly passed her over and Tony flew off down the hall.

"Natasha and Clint," Fury ordered, looking at Clint. "I want you two to get in a jet and follow them, give them back up if they need it." The two spies nodded and headed out of the room. Fury looked at Captain America and Agent Hill. "Captain, I want you to go and wake Agent Williams and then I want you, Agent Hill, and Agent Williams to go and retrieve the scepter and bring it back to base. If they need help, give them it and make sure no civilians get hurt in the process."

"Loki!" Thor bellowed angrily. He fell more than flew at Loki after diving through the hole to follow him. Behind him a loud roar was heard, signaling Hulks presence. Loki was falling back first; staring up at Thor and Hulk, fear crossing his face. "You will not escape me this time!"

Loki smirked, "Are you sure about that brother?"

Hulk roared, falling past Thor and nearly catching up to Loki. Loki's face contorted in fear and he held the scepter out in front of him and shot at Hulk. The blast barely made Hulk flinch and only made him angrier, his face contorted in a deep frown. "RAAAAHH!" Thor swung his hammer around so that he controlled how he flew and paused in the air, summoning the thunder and then directing it at Loki.

The thunder struck his chest and he skyrocketed into the ground below, crashing and making a small crater in some mans farm. Hulk fell, tumbling across the ground behind Loki. Thor landed, smashing his hammer into the ground, sending a dangerous quake through the ground, up rooting loose earth and weeds. Loki was uplifted from the force as well and landed again on his side. Hulk was quick and jumped to Loki's side and was about to bash Loki with both fists.

Thor was quick though, knowing that his power could hurt Loki, and threw the hammer at Hulk, keeping him from possibly killing the God. Loki was slowly getting up, smiling at the flying Hulk. Thor quickly ran toward his brother, summoning back Mjolnir as he did. He swung hard, catching Loki in the gut and hitting him back into the ground.

"You will pay for your actions brother!" Thor bellowed. "You will never see the light of day again!" Thor grabbed his brother by his armor, lifting him off the ground. "You will never see Asgard again!"

Loki smirked, "Do you plan on killing me brother?" He asked. "Or do you wish to send me to some isolated planet?" He whacked his brother across the skull with his scepter as it changed into a long golden staff. "You'll have to let Hulk do that brother, for you could never kill me." Loki stood and spun his brother away by hitting him in the gut with his staff. "You are too loving to do such harm to family."

"RAAAHH!" Hulk bellowed at Loki. Suddenly he ran at Loki with his shoulders braced for a tackle. Loki stood like a line backer about to attack head on but at the last second he disappeared and stood behind the fumbling Hulk. "Buffoon," He sneered.

Hulk roared at him, stomping on the ground angrily. Loki smirked and then shot at Hulk multiple times, making him unbalanced and fall. Mjolnir slammed into Loki's side making him drop the scepter and fly many yards away.

Hulk huffed, smirking at the flying Loki.

"You can't win Loki," Natasha said over intercom as their jet flew overhead. "You're surround, outnumbered, and outgunned."

Thor walked over to Loki and picked up the hammer only to place it on Loki's chest so he could not move. Thor looked at Hulk; cautious of rage monster he had stopped earlier. Hulk grunted and looked away from him up at the jet. Thor smiled and as if that were a cue Hulk swung his arm out without looking at him and smacked Thor across the field.

"I will always come back," Loki snarled, trying desperately to remove the hammer. "I will always escape. I am a God, you cannot keep a God in chains."

Hulk roared at Loki, punching the ground beside him angrily for his silence.

Loki only stared.

Fury walked into the sick bay and into the room that Betty was in. Tony stood impatiently watching the doctors and nurses that worked to resuscitate Dr. Smith. "Tony?" Fury asked. Tony looked at him and then continued looking down at Dr. Smith. "You should wait outside Tony, allow the doctors to do as much as they can for her in privacy."

"The scepter perfectly cut the bottom of her heart…" He said, staring at the Director. "They're stitching that up now but if they can't get it to stop bleeding… Can't get her resuscitated…"

Fury looked at the woman lying near death on the table. "You don't have long," he said more to himself then to the crew attempting to bring her back. Tony stared at the woman on the gurney, wishing there was something he could do to help. Suddenly an idea clicked and he pointed at his chest. "In all simplicity my arc keeps my heart going. It could do the same thing for her if made right."

Fury looked at Tony, "The arc keeps the shards from piercing your heart Tony. She doesn't have the same problem."

"But it could restart her heart much like a pacer, keep it going if need be, and even possibly keep her from bleeding and allow that wound to heal." Tony began to leave the room.

Fury followed him. "It's not going to work Stark."

"Why not? Because you say so? Or because her situation is different then mine?" Fury just stared at Tony. "Look, I need to do something to help the dying woman in there and if it means to create her an arc so be it. I can't just sit around and wait while I may have a possible solution that could save her life."

Fury said nothing and watched as Tony flew away. He smiled sadly; turning around to look back into the emergency unit Betty lay in. "You've made more than just friends Miss Smith and I hope that you live to see your new family."
