Bab 1457: Mad Stomps and Incoming Missile

But the black foot didn't stop there. Its owner paid more attention to the scepter than Loki did.

The foot left afterimages in the air as it stomped down repeatedly like a pile driver.

Less than three seconds later, the big black foot switched targets as it lightly flicked up the scepter from where it had slid out of Loki's right hand, and the owner of the foot grabbed it.

Only then did Tony cry out, "Batman!"

Thor finally came back to himself. Looking at his brother's wretched state, he couldn't help but yell, "What are you doing?"

"Keep an eye on your brother, or his head will be the next to blow up." Batman glanced at him coldly with his blood-red lenses. "I'll close the space portal. Don't be rash. Keep firing and steadily eliminate the nearby Chitauri. Don't expose our purpose prematurely."

With that, he stuck the scepter on his back and charged out of the building.
