Fury walked to the table. Captain Rogers and Tony Stark sat there. Fury threw some cards onto the table. "These were in Phil Coulson's jacket. Guess he never did get you to sign them. We're dead in the air up here. Our communications, location of the cube, Banner, Thor" He looked pointedly at Steve. "and Adelaide. I got nothing for you." He said.

"Lost my one good eye. Maybe I had that coming. Yes. We were going to build an arsenal with the Tesseract. I never put all my chips on that number though, because I was playing something even riskier. There was an idea, Stark knows this, called The Avengers Initiative. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, see if they could become something more. See if they could work together when we needed them to, to fight the battles that we never could. Phil Coulson died still believing in that idea, in heroes. Well, it's an old fashioned notion." Fury said. Tony stood up and stormed out.

Steve went to follow him, but found himself walking to the level were the infirmary was. Where his wife, Adelaide, was supposed to be. He got there and looked around and saw the wreckage. He was told that the Hulk came in and pretty much destroyed the place. But he didn't hurt Lady.

From what the camera's tell them, it looks like the Hulk had a soft spot for her. He went out of his way to make her safe again. Unfortunately, it didn't help any. She was still taken by Loki's men. Who know's what will happen to her.

Steve was beating himself up over what happened. He should've been there to protect her. She never should have been in danger, if only be had been better.

If only he could've protected her better from Schmidt. But now Schmidt is dead. Now instead of The Red Skull there's Loki.

And now Loki is in for a world of pain. He took Lady. And he's gonna pay.

Bruce Banner woke up and looked around. He saw a man looking at him. "You fell out of the sky." The man said.

"Did I hurt anybody?" Bruce asked.

"There's nobody around here to get hurt. You did scare the hell out of some pigeons though." The man said.

"Lucky."

"Or just good aim. You were awake when you fell."

"You saw?" Bruce asked, wondering why the man didn't run.

"The whole thing, right through the ceiling. Big and green and buck ass nude. Here... I didn't think those would fit you until you shrunk down to a regular size fella." The man said handing him some clothes.

"Thank you." Bruce said slipping on the pants.

"Are you an alien?" The man asked.

"What?"

"From outer space, an alien?"

"No." Bruce said.

"Well then, son. You've got a condition." The man said seriously.

"Clint, You're gonna be alright." Natasha said.

Have you ever had someone take your brain and play? Pull you out and send something else in? Do you know what it's like to be unmade?" Clint asked.

"You know that I do." Natasha said.

"Why am I back? How did you get him out?" He asked.
