Back at the compound, Thor and the other Asgardians have the ground. Scott, Nat and Tony have the lower levels of the compound. Rhodes, Clint, and Vision have the rooftops and sky. Wanda, Peter, and T'Challa have the upper levels. T'Challa just came in a day ago to help them out. He positioned himself to be the last line of defense at the hospice part of the compound. Tony had sent Pepper away on a chopper to get somewhere safe. At first, 2-3 squads of Hydra soldiers came in. Then slowly more and more came.
"You're doing good, Heidi. You're almost there," Bruce says as he checks her and the baby's vitals. Heidi starts to push again, with D'orsey looking down to check for any signs. "Keep pushing!" Heidi clenches down and pushes harder. The contraction goes away and she leans back on the bed. Her breathing becomes ragged and she's already getting tired. Heidi closes her eyes for a moment.
"James…where are you?" she said quietly to herself.
Feeling another contraction coming Heidi sits up and starts to push again. "Good…Good…Keep pushing," D'orsey says encouragingly. Heidi lies back down. "I…I can't…" "Blood pressure is going down. We need a boost," Bruce says to the doc. D'orsey pulls herself away from the end of Heidi's bed. She gets up from her chair and walks to a drawer with syringes and other items. After grabbing what she needs she turns to Bruce, who's back is to her as he's watching Heidi's vitals. "How bad are we looking?" she asks. "Not too bad but I can see she's getting worn out faster than she sh-"
D'orsey jabs a syringe in his neck and he falls to the ground. "Bruce?" Heidi leans down at him and looks back up at the doc. "What the fuck are you doing?" D'orsey, ignoring her, presses a button on a computer and metal bands snap around Heidi's arms and legs. "Let's see if we can get the baby to come out with the next push," she says with a big grin growing on her face. Heidi, realizing what's going on, shrieks helplessly.
Steve and Bucky approach the rooftop of the compound. Someone was firing at them from the ground but Clint was able to put a stop to it. As soon as the jet landed Bucky hops out quickly. "She's in the hospice but something's wrong," Rhodes told him and Steve. "What is it?" Steve asks, afraid of the worst. "Tony said Bruce is unconscious. Something must've happened to him." Bucky's eyes grew big. "No." The two men headed straight inside the compound. "Tony, we're in. What's everyone's status?" Steve asks on his mic. "Thank God. These assholes keep popping up like a bug infestation. Scott's running low on juice. He needs to tap out. Wanda needs some help with the upper levels." "Copy that. We'll head toward Wanda's way and Peter will come down to help you." "I'm on it," Peter's voice responds. 'Hold on Heidi,' Bucky thought as he makes his way down the building.
Heidi struggles against the restraints while also pushing the baby. Tears of frustration and anger stream down her face. She howls and cries loudly with each push. "That's it. He's coming," D'orsey says with a big smile. "Go to hell!" "You first sweetie." "I knew there was something wrong about you…from the moment I saw you." The doc laughs. "Yes, and I was the one who told Steiner about your pregnancy. He was so thrilled. Oh and when I told him who the daddy was…well, he was just over the moon." Heidi grimaces at the woman. "You'll never have my son," she says hatefully. The other woman cocks an eyebrow. "What makes you so sure," the other woman asks. "Because of him." Heidi jerks her head up behind the doc. The woman turns around and faces the Hulk. With a swipe of his hand, D'orsey crashes through the wall and falls from the building to her death. The Hulk roars loudly and slams his fists down on the ground like a gorilla. He turns to Heidi and yells in her direction. She screams back at him.
