Nebula had gotten to Stark Tower with ease. She whacked her way past everything and everyone. Until she was faced with Selvig, Jane, Pepper and the device. Varia steps out in front of them, protectively. Nebula cackles. "Foolish human, just give it up. Dont throw your life away for a stupid machine."
"I'm not. I'm doing it for my friends.." Varia narrows her eyes at Nebula, who ran at her. Varia shoots all of her bullets and they were deflected by Nebula's cyborg metal armour. She ran out of bullets and threw her gun at the blue alien and it smacks her in the face. It made some impact, but only angered Nebula more. She goes in to grab Varia, she puts her arm up and although Nebula's impact hurt like hell, she still blocked it. She matched another blow but this time her other arm broke on impact. Varia cries out in pain but continues to hand to hand combat with someone who outmatched her.
She bought enough time for the device to be activated at the right time. Jane cries out and tries to stop Nebula beating the shit out of Varia, in vain as Nebula threw her across the room. Pepper tried in vain and she too was knocked unconscious.
With one last fatal blow, Nebula bends Varia backwards into her metal knee. Varia's back was broken instantly. Never before and she cried out in such agony. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
And then the entire invasion vanished...Nebula looked around, she had no choice to flee before Thor came back to break her into pieces.

A broken Varia couldn't move. It was over. She heard Hel's screams and it pierced through her soul. But she could not hold on, she was slowly slipping away. All she could feel was numbness. Her spine was shattered. Jane runs over to her and cried as she cradled her dying friend in her arms. Black Widow came running in panting, she shakes her head. "No..."
"Hawkeye....come in...is Thor with you?"
"Yeah he is...." Hawkeye said solemnly as Thor cried out in pain over the loss of his brother, again. He held Hel tightly in his big arms.
"Jane is safe, tell him. And tell Tony that Pepper is okay too..." Barton nodded. "What about Varia?"
"....She's not responding." He heard Jane screaming over the radio. Thor looks up. Now Jane was in pain.
Selvig got to working CPR on Varia's chest. Odin looked down sadly at Heimdall.
