(SCENE 5. F-35 JET FLIES INTO VIEW, PURSUED BY TWO HOMING MISSILES. HE SHAKES THEM OFF, BUT AN F-15S/MTD APPEARS IN ITS PLACE. IT FIRES 4 XLAA MISSILES.)

Hal: I can't shake them!

AWACS: Hang in there Highball.

Iron Man: I'll handle this.

(ROCK MUSIC BLASTS THROUGH HAL'S COMMUNICATIONS. IRON MAN DESTROYS THE F-15S/MTD AND THE TWO MISSILES.)

Hal: Thanks for the help Stark.

Iron Man: Perhaps you could return the favour.

Hal: How?

Iron Man: Meet me back at Ferris Aircraft.

(BACK AT FERRIS. TONY IS WAITING IN THE RECEPTION AREA. HAL WALKS IN.)

Hal: Mr Stark.

Stark: Mr Jordan. I'm here on business with SHIELD.

Hal: Is it about those Green Lanterns who crashed into the Sky Carrier?

Stark: No…although Fury does want to talk to you about that.

Hal: In my own defense I wasn't involved.

Stark: Well you can tell him that. Anyway, there are more important issues to address.

Hal: What kind of issues?

Stark: Some of the most dangerous men in the universe are planning on universal domination.

Hal: And I'm guessing the Avengers can't take it on alone. Who exactly are we up against?

Stark: Joker, Two-Face, Riddler, Lex Luthor, Venom, Loki, Scarecrow, someone we've identified as Johann Schimdt, and Sinestro.

Hal: I thought Sinestro went missing….

Stark: Well the SHIELD security tapes gave us a positive ID on him. He was wearing a yellow suit.

Hal: Hm…Ok. I'll do it.
