During the Battle of Greenwich, Boothby saved Lewis from the Dark Elves by picking up a floating car and slamming it onto the elves, killing them. Lewis was amazed that he saved her life. When Foster and Selvig used the teleporter, Lewis and Boothby were teleported and kissing with Lewis holding him. After Jane called her, Lewis awkwardly dropped Boothby, just as Mjølnir sailed past them intent on reaching its owner. Boothby and Lewis later arrive to see Foster and Thor nearly been crushed by the dark elves ship. Fortunately, Selvig used the device to teleport it elsewhere where it crushed Malekith to death. Relieved her friends were alright, an overjoyed Lewis kissed Boothby even more passionately.
