The Elevator Is Worthy
An Age of Ultron Post-Credits scene
Credit to tumblr where I saw a list of possible post-credits scenes, which included prompts for a couple of things shown here.
The scene:
The camera swoops through the New Avengers Facility. We pass Betty Ross and Helen Cho, both leaning over the rebuilt Cradle. A flash of white hair is seen through the transparent lid, but the camera does not pause, swooping onward. We pass through a narrow gap between steel doors sliding closed, and see…
Steve and Tony are standing side by side in an elevator.
"See? I told you. The elevator is worthy!" Tony punches a button. There is a soft ding and the floor number display changes from 2 to 3.
"The elevator is not worthy, Tony. It's an elevator. It's inanimate."
The camera pans down to see Mjolnir on the elevator floor in between them.
The elevator doors open. Both Tony and Steve start guiltily and look up to see Natasha Romanoff and Pepper Potts, staring at them, arms folded.
For a long moment, nobody says anything. The elevator doors begin to slide closed. Natasha puts out a foot to stop the doors closing.
"How did you get Thor to leave the hammer in the elevator in the first place?" Pepper asks at last.
Tony's grin is unrepentant. "We brought Doctor Foster in. She threw herself at him and he dropped it to catch her."
"They got, um, distracted, and left," Steve adds.
Natasha shakes her head, but her lips curl up into a small smile. She and Pepper step into the elevator. Pepper takes Tony's hand.
"I guess it'll just have to ride up and down until Thor remembers to come collect it," Natasha says with a shrug as the elevator dings and the floor number changes again.
