The doors of SHIELD are bust open, flying across the room and crashing into the far wall. Standing there is Divinity, holding Heidi's body. Her armor is both fully fractured, and covered in blood. Divinity was crying. She didn't take her eyes off Heidi's face once. "Save her! For fuck's sake! Somebody bring her back!" Two SHIELD staff approach her and one of them sticks her neck with a syringe full of elephant tranquilser. Natalie is out instantly.
"Get them both to the medical wing. Now!"
In the sewers, a loud wait could be heard. Natalie was standing over the body of Prodigy. She had killed her. Prodigy took the punch, and now she was dead. She said she'd win, and now Natalie knew exactly what she meant. She didn't feel good. She felt empty, and cold. And sad. This wasn't a victory. This was a murder of my teenage hero. "No...I want her back...I need her back!" Natalie picked up her body, and started running to SHIELD HQ as fast as she could. They're the only ones who could help her...
Natalie was put on a tranqilizer drip, to keep her from waking up. If there were a cell that could contain her that was ready and free, she'd be in there. Until then, she must not be allowed to wake up. On the bed next to hers, Doctors were swarmed around the supersmart Avenger. "Doctor, she's not dead! She has a good deal of ruptured organs, internal bleeding, and there's only one rib that isn't broken, but she's not dead! She appears to be in a self-inflicted coma!"
Heidi watches Tony go, then turns back to Divinity, who is pretty angry. Heidi's plan to get her captured certainly put her life in danger, but there wasn't a very high chance that anything would really go different to how she planned it. The truth was that Heidi needed Tony at SHIELD HQ for this plan to work, and she was also concerned about Kode. Then again, as soon as she knew they were making Sentinals, she knew Kode would be a target of SHIELD. She just didn't realize how fast they'd act. Now she was counting on them to act fast in the face of a threat.
"Let's end this, Natalie. I'm going to give you one free shot right here. I'm still going to win this fight."
Heidi pointed out an area on her lower chest. Heidi had calculated the area that would cause the least lasting damage, though it would naturally still cause a lot of damage. She was going to put herself into a shock induced coma before the punch would hit, and that would stop her from tensing, minimizing the damage, and give the illusion that she had been killed, so long as Natalie didn't check her pulse, but she wasn't going to...
"It shouldn't take much to wake her, just a little jolt to wake the brain..."
"No, don't."
"But...why not?"
"If she is opposed to the Sentinal program, she could become a very dangerous and cunning enemy. And I think she is already opposed to the Sentinal program. She is just a Mutant, after all. Keep her in the coma, but make sure her body heals. That is an order!"
"Y-yes sir..."
