QUINJET
Inside the QUINJET, Steve is sitting down, holding a TABLET, watching the footage of the Hulk's attack on the Army at Culver University.
PILOT "We're about forty minutes out from base, sir."
Agent Coulson stands up from his seat and walks over to Steve.
STEVE "So, this Doctor Banner was trying to replicate the serum that was used on me?"
AGENT PHIL COULSON "A lot of people were. You were the world's first superhero. Banner thought gamma radiation might hold the key to unlocking Erskine's original formula.
The Hulk roars with fury as he slams a jeep apart.
STEVE "Didn't really go his way, did it?"
AGENT PHIL COULSON "N0ot so much. When he's not that thing though, guy's like a Stephen Hawking." Steve looks confused.
AGENT PHIL COULSON "He's like a smart person. I gotta say, it's an honor to meet you, officially." Steve smiles at Coulson.
AGENT PHIL COULSON "I sort of met you, I mean, I watched you while you were sleeping."
Steve looks down. He stands up, closes his laptop and walks to the side with Coulson following.
AGENT PHIL COULSON "I mean, I was... I was present while you were unconscious from the ice. You know, it's really, it's just a... just a huge honor to have you on board."
STEVE "Well, I hope I'm the man for the job.
AGENT PHIL COULSON "Oh, you are. Absolutely. Uh... we've made some modifications to the uniform. I had a little design input."
STEVE "The uniform? Aren't the stars and stripes a little... old fashioned?"
AGENT PHIL COULSON "With everything that's happening, the things that are about to come to light, people might just need a little old fashioned."
Steve takes in Coulson's sentiment.
STEVE "and what about the kid with white hair whats his story?"
AGENT PHIL COULSON "oh he's a special case he has this like heat/fire power and he can control it...but gust like banner its based off his emotions the more angry he gets the more the flames get higher and the calmer he is the more hes able to control it"
STEVE "so it a good thing he's on our side?" is now watching the kid burn the clothes off some thugs and save a comic store owner
AGENT PHIL COULSON "Yeah that store he saved...he works at it now. and his boss and his family except his parents know about his powers"
HELICARRIER LANDING STRIP
The QUINJET lands down a MASSIVE BATTLESHIP known as the HELICARRIER. It has two runways. One with direct access to a hangar at the rear is aligned along the spine of the vessel.Agent Coulson and Steve walk down the ramp, meeting up with Natasha. and Lincoln
AGENT PHIL COULSON "Agent Romanoff. Captain Rogers. Captain Rodgers. Lincoln Loud"
STEVE "Ma'am. Sir."
NATASHA "Hi."
LINCOLN ( TO COULSON) "They need you on the bridge. Face time."
AGENT PHIL COULSON "See you there.
Agent Coulson walks away leaving Steve with Natasha, walking towards the railing of the ship.
NATASHA "There was quite the buzz around here, finding you in the ice. I thought Coulson was gonna swoon. Did he ask you to sign his Captain America trading cards yet?"
STEVE "Trading cards?"
NATASHA "They're vintage, he's very proud."
Without realizing, Banner doesn't notice them walking as he is nervous as hell. He moves around as people keep walking in his way. and Lincoln not caring and bumping into people as he walks
STEVE "Dr. Banner. Mr. Loud
Steve walks up to Banner and Lincoln and shakes there hands.
LINCOLN "Oh, yeah. Hi. They told me you'd be
coming."
Banner shakes his hand and looks around cautiously
STEVE "Word is you can find the cube."nhe looks to Banner
BANNER "Is that the only word on me?"
STEVE "Only word I care about."
BANNER (takes in the sentiment) "Must be strange for you, all of this."
STEVE "Well, this is actually kind of familiar."
LINCOLN "oh thats right...your from world war 2...how was that by the way...my sister's kept asking me to ask you before i left"
Steve just looks at him and shakes his head
NATASHA "Gentlemen, you may wanna step inside in a minute. It's gonna get a little hard to breath.
Suddenly the HELICARRIER starts SHAKING as it prepares to fly
STEVE "Is this is a submarine?
BANNER "Really? They wanted me in a submerged pressurized metal container?"
LINCOLN nods and looks to banner "i know right fire and condensed air...not a good mix"
They both move closer to the edge of the HELICARRIER. FOUR HUGE
LIFT FANS MOUNTED ON THE SIDES STARTS TO LIFT INTO THE AIR IN VTOL FLIGHT. Steve watches in AWE as Banner smiles.
BANNER "OH, NO. THIS IS MUCH WORSE."
Lincoln smiles "nope...this is better the bad...THIS IS AWESOME"
HELICARRIER BRIDGE
The doors part and we enter THE BRIDGE OF THE SHIP a flurry of activity dozens of agents sit in front of their VIEWSCREENS.
Agent Hill shouts her instructs to leave. Turns to NICK FURY, who is at the command chair.
AGENT MARIA HILL "We're at lock, sir.
NICK FURY "Good. Let's vanish.
The HELICARRIER rises high into the heavens. Suddenly, the entire ship is covered in reflecting mirrors, which then camouflages in the sky.
HELICARRIER BRIDGE
Steve and Banner walk through the glorious, gleaming bridge,taking his position at the SCIENCE CONSOLE.
NICK FURY "Gentlemen."
Steve gives Fury 10 bucks, referring to his earlier statement about never being surprised again. Fury walks over Banner and Lincoln and extends his hand. Banner, reluctantly shakes it. while Lincoln doesn't shake it at all
NICK FURY "Doctor, thank you for coming. and same to you Mr. Loud
BANNER "Thanks for asking nicely. So, uh... how Long am I staying?"
LINCOLN "yeah...i just had nothing better to do thats all" looking at the screens and seeing doctor selvig
NICK FURY "Once we get our hands on the Tesseract, you're in the clear."
BANNER "Where are you with that?"
Nick Fury turns to Agent Coulson to explain, while Natasha Romanoff eyes an image of Clint Barton on a computer screen.
AGENT PHIL COULSON "We're sweeping every wirelessly accessible camera on the planet. Cellphones, laptops. If it's connected to a satellite, it's eyes and ears for us.
LINCOLN "That's still not gonna find them in time."
BANNER "You have to narrow the field. How many spectrometers do you have access to?"
NICK FURY "How many are there?"
BANNER "Call every lab you know, tell them to put the spectrometers on the roof and calibrate them for gamma rays. I'll rough out a tracking algorithm based on cluster recognition. At least we could rule out a few places. Do you have somewhere for me to work?"
LINCOLN "I'll call my sister to and ask her to do the same" he says as he pulls out a phone and calls home
NICK FURY "Agent Romanoff, would you show Dr.Banner to his laboratory, please."
Natasha nods and walks off, leading Banner down the hall.
NATASHA "You're gonna love it, Doc. We got all the toys."
HELICARRIER BRIDGE NIGHT TIME
As they are waiting to locate Loki using satellite facial recognition, Coulson and Steve stand side by side, waiting.
AGENT PHIL COULSON "I mean, if it's not too much trouble."
STEVE "No, no. It's fine."
AGENT PHIL COULSON "It's a vintage set. It took me a couple of years to collect them all. Near mint, slight foxing around the edges, but..."
AGENT JASPER SITWELL "We got a hit. Sixty-seven percent match. Weight, cross match, seventy-nine percent."
AGENT PHIL COULSON "Location?"
AGENT JASPER SITWELL "Stuttgart, Germany. 28, Konigstrasse. He's not exactly hiding."
NICK FURY "Captain, Loud you're up."
Steve nods. Leaves.
HELICARRIER, STEVE'S AND LINCOLN'S LOCKER ROOM
Steve walks into his own locker room. As he approaches to his steel cabinet, the doors already reveal the updated CAPTAIN AMERICA UNIFORM, along with the famous SHIELD. He stands in front of a mirror Lincoln was putting on his signature outfit which was a black hoodie with some sweat pants he puts the hood of his hoodie up and heads out
STUTTGART GALA
As the crowd runs away, Loki slowly walks out and materializes in his gold armor and helmet. The POLICE arrive and with no hesitation, he BLASTS the cars, FLIPPING them over and over
LOKI "Kneel before me.
The crowd ignores him. Another LOKI appears, blocking the crowd. Loki after Loki appears, they all grin as they raise their spears, encircling the crowd.
LOKI "I said. KNEEL!!!
Everyone becomes quiet and kneels in front him. Loki embracing his arms out, smiling.
LOKI "Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It's the unspoken truth of humanity, that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel."
As the words resonate to the kneeling crowd, an ELDER GERMAN MAN refuses to kneel and stands, heroic.
ELDER GERMAN MAN "Not to men like you.
LOKI "There are no men like me.
ELDER GERMAN MAN "There are always men like you."
LOKI "Look to your elder, people. Let him be an example."
Loki is about to execute him with his scepter as the light GLOWS blue. Just as the ENERGY BEAM shoots out, FUCKING CAPTAIN AMERICA arrives! He dives in just in time and BLOCKS the blast with his SHIELD, knocking down Loki on his ass.
CAPTAIN AMERICA "You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing."
LINCOLN "yeah and we all know what happened to him"
LOKI (STANDING UP) "The soldier. and the boy. A man out of time. and the fire elementalist"
CAPTAIN AMERICA "I'm not the one who's out of time.
LINCOLN "And im not the only elementalist"
From above Cap, the QUINJET arrives. A machine gun is pointed towards Loki.
NATASHA Loki, drop the weapon and stand down.
Like greased lighting, Loki sends a BLAST of blue at the QUINJET. Natasha MANEUVERS it just in time, giving Cap and Lincoln the time to throw his shield and send a blast at Loki. They all begin to DUKE IT OUT. Loki FLINGS Lincoln to the ground. Cap then throws his shield, but Loki SWATS it way. Cap, using all the moves of a boxer, is KNOCKED down by Loki. Standing over him, he points the scepter's tip on his helmet.
LOKI "Kneel.
CAPTAIN AMERICA "Not today!"
Cap FLIPS and KNOCKS him out with his leg. Loki grabs him and FLIPS him over.
INSIDE THE QUINJET
NATASHA "The guy's all over the place."
Suddenly, AC/DC's "Shoot to Thrill" overdrives the QUINJET'S speakers.
LINCOLN "agent romanoff i don't think now is a good time for some AC/DC but i like the song choice"
IRON MAN "Agent Romanoff, did you miss me?"
every one looks up at the sky. Tony flies over in his IRON MAN suit and blasts Loki right back to the ground. IRON MAN touches down. He stands up and pulls out every piece of weaponry the suit has.
IRON MAN "Make your move, Reindeer Games.
Loki puts up his hands and surrenders. His armor materializes away.
IRON MAN "Good move.
CAPTAIN AMERICA "Mr. Stark.
LINCOLN "rust bucket"
IRON MAN "Captain. hot head"
QUINJET NIGHT
Natasha watches the skies. THUNDER. Coming out of nowhere. Fury speaks over her headset.
NICK FURY (V.O.) "Said anything?"
NATASHA "Not a word."
NICK FURY (V.O.) "Just get him here. We're low on time."
With Loki tied up and cuffed to his seat, Tony and Steve watch from a distance, whispering.
STEVE "I don't like it.
TONY "What? Rock of Ages giving up so easily?"
STEVE "I don't remember it being ever that easy. This guy packs a wallop."
TONY "Still, you are pretty spry, for an older fellow. What's your thing? Pilates?
LINCOLN "It's probably pilates or Tai chi?"
STEVE "What?"
TONY "It's like calisthenics. You might have missed a couple things, you know, doing time as a Capsicle."
LINCOLN "ha... Capsicle"
Steve looks at Tony, finally meeting his ego match.
STEVE "Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in."
TONY "Yeah, there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you."
THUNDER and LIGHTNING nearly hit the jet, making it shake violently.
NATASHA "Where's this coming from?
Thunder RUMBLES overhead. Loki stares out the window intently.
STEVE "What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?"
LOKI "I'm not overly fond of what follows.
LINCOLN "What the fuck?"
OUTSIDE THE JET A BLINDING LIGHT hits The jet. Not a light. A King. THE MIGHTY THOR. Thor OPENS the ramp and grabs Loki by the throat and flies out. Steve, Lincoln and Tony are left dumbstruck. Tony puts the IRON MAN helmet on.
IRON MAN "Now there's that guy."
NATASHA "Another Asgardian?"
CAPTAIN AMERICA "Think the guy's a friendly?"
IRON MAN "Doesn't matter. If he frees Loki or
kills him, the Tesseract's lost."
Tony turns and gets ready to jump off the jet to chase after Thor.
CAPTAIN AMERICA "Stark, we need a plan of attack!
IRON MAN "I have a plan. Attack."
LINCOLN "You know for a billionaire genius you sure are an idiot"
IRON MAN "and you can make fireworks with your finger tips your point?"
Tony then jumps out of the jet and chases after Thor. Cap grabs a parachute to follow. and Lincoln just get hes hands ready to fly
NATASHA "I'd sit this one out, Guys"
CAPTAIN AMERICA "I don't see how I can."
Lincoln nods and puts up his hood
NATASHA "These guys come from legends, they're basically gods."
CAPTAIN AMERICA "There's only one God, ma'am. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that."
Cap JUMPS OUT of the jet.
LINCOLN "I'm going to have to agree with cap on this one Agent Romanoff but I don't believe in God or gods for that matter" he then jumps and uses his fire blast to give him a boost
MOUNTAIN LEDGE NIGHT
Somewhere out in the European mountains, Thor throws Loki into the side of the mountain. He raises the mighty hammer. Mjollnir. He looks down at his brother, who he thought to be dead and is angry to see him alive in this fashion.
THOR "Where is the Tesseract?
LOKI (LAUGHS) "I missed you too.
THOR "Do I look to be in a gaming mood?!
LOKI "Oh, you should thank me. With the Bifrost gone how much dark energy did the Allfather have to muster to conjure you here? Your precious Earth."
Thor drops Mjollnir, causing the mountain to quake. He picks up Loki. His brother. Although Thor is pissed for what he has done, a family is everything to a man or god.
THOR "I thought you dead.
LOKI "Did you mourn?
THOR "We all did. Our father...
LOKI "Your father. He did tell you my true parentage, did he not?
Thor lets go Loki, who walks away from Thor, causing an even bigger wedge between them.
THOR "We were raised together, we played together, we fought together. Do you remember none of that?"
LOKI (TURNS AROUND) "I remember a shadow. Living in the shade of your greatness. I remember you tossing me into an abyss. I was and should be king!"
THOR "So you take the world I love as recompense for your imagined slights. No, the Earth is under my protection, Loki."
LOKI (LAUGHS) "And you're doing a marvelous job with that. The humans slaughter each other in droves, while you idly threat. I mean to rule them. And why should I not?"
THOR "You think yourself above them."
LOKI "Well, yes."
THOR "Then you miss the truth of ruling, brother. The Throne would suit you ill."
Angrily, Loki shoves his brother to the side. He walks back up to the ledge. Turns around.
LOKI "I've seen worlds you've never known about! I have grown, Odinson, in my exile! I have seen the true power of the Tesseract, and when I wield it..."
THOR "Who showed you this power? Who controls the would-be-king?
LOKI "I am a king!
THOR "Not here! You give up the Tesseract!
You give up this poisonous dream! You come home.
LOKI "I don't have it. You need the cube to
bring me home, but I've sent it off I know not where.
Mjollnir flies back to his grasp.
THOR "You listen well, brother. I..."
THOR IS KNOCKED OFF THE MOUNTAIN BY IRON MAN WHO TACKLES HIM IN
MID-FLIGHT.
LOKI "I'm listening.
IN THE FOREST
THOR and IRON MAN CRASH into the forest. Thor rolls himself up. IRON MAN is still standing, but keeps his distance. The helmet opens up.
THOR "Do not touch me again!
TONY "Then don't take my stuff.
THOR "You have no idea what you're dealing
with.
TONY "Shakespeare in the park? Doth mother
know you weareth her drapes?
THOR "This is beyond you, metal man. Loki
will face Asgardian justice!
TONY "He gives up the Cube, he's all yours.
Until then, stay out of my way...tourist.
The IRON MAN helmet clamps up and he walks away. In one quick move, Thor pulls Mjlnir, throws it, and KNOCKS IRON MAN clear
across into a tree.
INSIDE THE SUIT
TONY "Okay."
From the mountain side, Loki watches in amusement. Thor raises
his hand. Mjollnir flies back to his hand. Thor SWINGS the hammer, summoning a ray of energy. IRON MAN stands up and from his HAND BOOSTERS, a BLAST of ENERGY
KNOCKS the MIGHTY AVENGER on his ass. IRON MAN flies back up and
knocks Thor into a tree.
Lincoln coming down and saw thor get hit "Right back at you, bitch!"
Thor, kneeling on the ground, pulls Mjollnir to his hand, raises it to the skies and pulls in LIGHTING and THUNDER! Thor points
the hammer at IRON MAN and the outpouring of bolts lighting increases in intensity. IRON MAN falls back.
INSIDE THE SUIT
JARVIS "Power at 400% capacity.
TONY "How about that?
IRON MAN FIRES AWAY FROM HIS HAND BOOSTERS, pushing Thor to his
knees. Like two gunslingers ready to draw, both Thor and IRON MAN fly towards each other and meet in the middle and ascend up.
SKY NIGHT
The two battle. IRON MAN grasps THOR, elbowing him and SMASHING
him into the side of a mountain.
THOR LEAPS off the mountain and takes IRON MAN with him.
INSIDE THE FOREST
THOR and IRON MAN crash right back down, smashing down every tree possible. IRON MAN YANKS Thor right up. Thor grabs both
HANDS BOOSTERS and begins to CRUSH them. Tony quickly CHARGES as much energy as he can and SHOOTS ENERGY in Thor's face. Thor FALLS back, losing his stance. IRON MAN HEADBUTTS Thor, with his gold-titanium alloy helmet. Thor...HEADBUTTS him with his fuckin' head and actually sends IRON MAN across the forest. IRON MAN boosters up and flies back at Thor, grabbing him by the arm and cape and SWINGS him into another tree. Thor looks up, ready. Thor runs with all his patience out the window. IRON MAN SWINGS and MISSES, giving Thor the momentum to grab him, lift him and SMASH him down hard. Thor summons back Mjollnir to his hand. Just as he's about to put
the hammer down, IRON MAN uses his HAND BOOSTERS to SKID across the ground and trip Thor over. Standing up, Thor looks for him,
but from behind him, IRON MAN CRASHES into his back. Thor stands facing IRON MAN. Ready to pounce... CAPTAIN AMERICA'S shield RICOCHETS off both Thor and IRON MAN,stopping them. They look up and see CAPTAIN AMERICA standing on top of a fallen tree with the shield back in hand. and black flame has his flames in his hands ready to blast anyone that moves
BLACK FLAME "Hey! That's enough!(comes down; looks at Thor)Now, I don't know what you plan on doing here.
THOR "I've come here to put an end to Loki's schemes!"
CAPTAIN AMERICA "Then prove it! Put the hammer down.
BLACK FLAME "Um, yeah, no! Bad call! He seems to like that his hammer!"
THOR BACKHANDS IRON MAN LIKE A PIMP WITH MJOLLNIR Thor, losing all tolerance with this SENTENTIAL OF LIBERTY, raises the hammer.
THOR (TO FLAME) "You want me to put the hammer down?
THOR LEAPS HIGH INTO THE AIR, RAISING THAT FUCKING HAMMER. CAPTAIN AMERICA CROUCHES DOWN AND HOLDS UP HIS SHIELD.
THOR brings that hammer down onto the shield and a MASSIVE IMPLOSION OF LIGHT reacts to the vibranium shield
CREATING A MASSIVE SHOCKWAVE THAT BLOWS UP ANYTHING STANDING WITHIN A MILE.
IRON MAN stands up, looking around like holy shit.' Lying right next to him is Cap, who never takes his eye off Thor. Thor looks at both men.
CAPTAIN AMERICA "Are we done here?
LINCOLN "Who the fuck are you?"
THOR, CAPTAIN AMERICA, BLACK FLAME AND IRON MAN STAND THERE.
