There was a nasty gash in her left leg, one that definitely would need immediate medical attention unless she wanted to have it amputated - good thing she's in a hospital, right? The Demon Bear was continuing to ignore Oliver, focusing all of its attention on Niah. As its glowing red eyes seemed to peer into her soul, the Demon Bear raised his left paw, preparing a killing blow. [i]You'll always fail[/i] a voice whispered into her mind.

Super soldier types Falcon, Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, and Agent 13 were firing off their weapons from the edges of the blizzard in an attempt to keep the skrulls at bay. Folly was skipping along happily, whistling slightly and doing the occasional handstand as she ran with everyone. [color=a64dff]"Just like Coventry,"[/color] she said wistfully. 

	Bonnie's heart was pounding as she ran with Cass and the others. If they could get to the quinjet and secure it, they'd be able to escape the skrulls [i]and[/i] rescue those who had been apprehended earlier. The unconscious girl from the X-Men was on that ship. She felt bad about the Avengers and whatnot who were in the brig of the quinjet, but it was nothing compared to how she felt about the kid. That was one of the main reasons why she had supported Hill's Laws in the first place - the rules kept kids out of danger. Although now it dawned on her - Hill was most likely a skrull as well. The entire thing probably had been orchestrated to get heroes to fight other heroes, making it easier for a skrull takeover. 

	She also noticed that the skrulls had replaced people with powers - people who were larger than life and could take out entire armies on their own. They hadn't bothered with someone like Agent 13, not when they could replace Captain Marvel and take her off the playing field. Speaking of Skrull-Captain Marvel, she sent down a ton of energy blasts at the fleeing group, hitting Andrew in the stomach. The blast went through his armor and left a nasty wound, the flesh melting off of a good portion of his stomach. The other blast hit Folly, blowing off her left arm. Grotesquely, the little psychopath just picked up her arm and kept on running. [color=a64dff]"Is anyone here really good at sewing?"[/color] she called out. 

	[color=f6989d]"I'll help,"[/color] Bonnie told Folly. She was creeped out by her and was definitely wondering who thought it was a good idea to bring her to a fight like this. She was grotesque - but Bonnie wasn't going to just let her walk around holding her arm like that and just waiting for a new arm to grow in. That sort of body horror just made her want to puke a little bit. 

	They reached the quinjet - the ramp was still down from when the prisoners had been brought on, letting the group just dash on up.

[color=FFB795]"What the fuck, cunt?"[/color] Amelia exclaimed. [color=FFB795]"Like one, that's so totally uncool trying to kill us - but two, why'd you do it in a room with actual gods and stuff? Isn't that kinda the worst time to do that?"[/color] she explained. Amelia was a very carefree and light-hearted person, but she was also from Operations. She knew what battles could be won and from Maria's position, this certainly wasn't one of them. 

	[color=FFB795]"Uh, what's a skrull again?"[/color] Amelia then asked Sparky. She hadn't heard that term before, not that she could remember. She knew a lot about UFO conspiracies and whatnot thanks to her uncle. People usually called generic aliens things like [i]greys[/i] and whatnot - she'd never heard [i]skrull[/i] before. The word struck her as a bit lazy, just being [i]skull[/i] with an R added to sound all sci-fi and futuristic. 

	"There will be no fighting here," Nanna said, as a calming effect would come over everyone present. If they hadn't figured it out, it would be beyond obvious that she was a powerful empath. And as a goddess dedicated to joy and love, peace was definitely within her domain. "The creature has been subdued. Forseti will hold her trial in his court and decide an appropriate punishment."

	Nanna's calming influence had the added bonus of helping Raynor to stop crying. When he had been a little boy, his mother used to do something similar in order to help him get to sleep. As a child of light, he never wanted to close his eyes. He stared at Nanna wistfully, still unable to believe she was there. His heart was overjoyed to see that Sparky was okay, but this was his mother. He couldn't help himself. [color=d86615]"She's my dead mother,"[/color] he whispered softly to Sparky. 

	[color=d86615]"The skrulls must have been what attacked me,"[/color] Raynor then said at a normal volume. [color=d86615]"Last thing I remember was fighting them off and then... then I was here. And if they're shapeshifters, we don't know who on Midgard could have been replaced. Anyone on the planet is a possible suspect, like a damn infestation...."[/color]
