Throne Room
...the scepter materializes her back into the throne room of Cosmos. Cosmos appeared from the steps.
"The Chitauri grow restless." Cosmos said.
"Let them go at themselves. I will lead them into glorious battle." Kuri said.
"Battle? Against the meager might of Earth?" Cosmos said.
"Glorious, not lengthy. If your force is as formidable as you claim." Kuri said.
"You question us? You question ME? I, who put the scepter in your hand, who gave you ancient knowledge and new purpose when you were cast out, defeated?" Cosmos said.
"I was in love! And I was betrayed! Marooned on Asgard!" Kuri said.
"Your ambition is little, born of childish need. We look beyond the Earth to greater worlds the Tesseract will unveil." Cosmos said.
"You don't have the Tesseract yet." Kuri said.
Cosmos ran over to attack him, but stopped as Kuri pointed her scepter.
"I don't threaten, but until I open the doors, until your force is mine to command, you are but words." Kuri said.
"You will have your war. If you fail, if the Tesseract is kept from us, there will be no realm, no barren moon, no crevice where he can't find you. You think you know pain? He will make you long for something as sweet as pain." Cosmos said.
Cosmos placed her hand on Kuri's head and transported her back to Earth. Kuri looked around, menacing.
