Author's Chapter Notes:
Sorry about the long waits between chapters. Life has unfortunately been more stressful as of late.
War sneered at the man before him. "We're not here for you step aside."

Even though Tony was terrified, the hero inside him wouldn't let him flee. He had to make sure they didn't harm any more innocent people.

"What do you want?" Tony said with a shaky voice as he looked.

"We want Bruce Banner, where is he? Tell us and nobody else gets hurt."

Tony couldn't help laughing. "You came down here for someone you have no chance of controlling."

"We came for his location, that is it," said a striking beauty with red hair and white bangs. "Don't make me take it from you."

Tony couldn't help seeing the confusion in her eyes, like it was a struggle just to be there.

The Xmen could tell the Avengers were struggling to subdue the three of them.

"Chuck we have to go get them, "Logan said his main focus on saving Marie.

"I agree with Logan, we can't allow them to hurt innocent people. Storm ready the team.

The Xmen exited the professors office, and Logan rushed hurriedly to the lower levels. All he could think about was Marie, and how he couldn't lose her.
