Inside a Quinjet, Captain Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, Phil and Hermione. Steve is sitting down, holding a tablet, watching the footage of the Hulk's attack on the Army at Culver University.
"We're about forty minutes out from base, sir." The Pilot says. And Agent Coulson stands up from his seat and walks over to Steve.
"So, this Doctor Banner was trying to replicate the serum that was used on me?" Steve questions.
"A lot of people were. You were the world's first superhero. Banner thought gammef radiation might hold the key to unlocking Erskine's original formula." Phil explains, and on the tablet, the Hulk roars with fury as he slams a Jeep apart.
"Didn't really go his way, did it?" Steve asks.
"Not so much, but did you know. When his not the Hulk though his like the next Stephen Hawking" Hermione imputes and Steve looks confused.
"I'm sorry who are you?" Steve asks politely.
"It's ok, I'm Dr. Hermione Granger, nice to meet you" Hermione smiles.
"Like wise, I'm Captain Steve Rogers. It's nice to meet you too" Steve says and Hermione smiles even more and goes back her book.
"Who's Stephen Hawking?" Steve whispers to Phil.
"He's like a smart person. I gotta say, it's an honour to meet you, officially." Phil says and Steve smiles at him. "I sort of met you, I mean, I watched you while you were sleeping" Steve stands up, closes his laptop and walks tot he side with Coulson following. "I mean, I was... I was present while you were unconscious from the ice. You know, it's really, it's just a huge honour to have you on board." Phil finishes.
"Well, I hope I'm the man for the job" Steve says.
"Oh, you are. Absolutely. Uh... we've made some modifications to the uniform. I had a little design input." Phil explains.
"The uniform? Aren't the Stars and Stripes a little... old fashioned?" Steve asks.
"With everything that's happening, the things that are about to come to light, people might just need a little old fashioned" Coulson says, looking onto the water ahead of him. And Steve takes in Coulson's sentiment.
The Quinjet lands down on a massive battleship known as the Helicarrier. It has two runways. One with direct access to hanger at the rear is aligned along the spine of the vessel. Agent Coulson, Steve and Dr. Hermione Granger walk down the ramp, meeting up with Natasha.
"Agent Romanoff. Captain Rogers and Dr. Granger" Agent Coulson says the introductions.
"Hello" Hermione says with a smile wave.
"Ma'am" Steve says with a nod.
"Hi" Natasha says, nodding to both of us. And then says to Coulson. "They need you on the bridge. Face time."
"See you there" Agent Coulson says and walks away, leaving Steve and Hermione with Natasha, who walk towards the railing of the ship.
"There was quite the buzz around here, finding you in the ice.-" Hermione spots Dr. Banner getting out another Quinjet and walks over to him.
"Dr. Banner, it's an honour to meet you. I've heard so many things about you" Hermione says.
"All good things I hope." Dr. Banner jokes.
"I'm my opinion they are all good, others might say other wise." Hermione smiles.
"Dr. Bruce Banner, nice to meet you" He says, sticking his hand out which Hermione takes, and shakes his hand.
"Dr. Hermione Granger, nice to meet you as well. Apparently I'm here to help you track down the Tesseract" Hermione says.
"Wonderful, can always use the help" Banner says.
"You may wanna step inside ina minute It's gonna get a little hard to breath." Natasha says out of no where, making Hermione jump a bit. Suddenly the helicarrier starts shaking as it to fly 'sail'.
"Is this a submarine?" Hermione asks.
"Really? They want me in a submerged pressurised metal container?" Banner questions. They move closer to the edge of the helicarrier. And 4 hugelift fans mounted on the sides start to lift into the air in VTOL flight. Hermione watches in awe as Banner smiles. "Oh, no. This is much worse."
No winside the doors part and Dr. Banner, Captain Rogers and Dr. Granger follow Natasha into the bridge of the ship, a flurry of activity dozens of agents sit in front of them viewscreeens. We hear Agent Hill shouts her instructs of the helicarrier's flying. She turns to Nick Fury, who is at the command chair.
"We're at lock, sir." Agent Maria Hill says.
"Good. Let's vanish" Nick Fury says. And the helicarrier rises high into the sky. Suddenly, the entire ship is covered in reflection mirrors, which then camouflages into the sky. Steve, Banner and Hermione walk through the glorious, gleaming bridge in awe.
"Gentleman and lady" Nick Fury says, taking his position at the science console, Steve gives Fury 10 dollars, referring to his earlier statement about never being surprised again. Fury walks over to Banner and Hermione and extends his hand first at Banner. Who, reluctantly shakes it. And then the Hermione who shakes it as well.
"Doctor's, thank you for coming" Nick Fury says.
"No problem" Hermione says.
"Thanks for asking nicely. So, uh... how long am I staying?" Banner asks.
"Once we get our hands on the Tesseract, you're in the clear" Fury says.
"What do you need the a Tesseract for anyway?" Hermione asks.
"I'm not at liberty to say" Fury says. And Hermione reluctantly nods.
"Where are you with finding the Tesseract?" Banner asks. And Fury turns to Agent Coulson to explain, while Natasha Romanoff eyes and image of Clint Barton on a computer screen.
"We're sweeping every wireless accessible camera on the planet. Cellphones, laptops. If it's connected to a satellite, it's eyes and ears for us.
"That's still not gonna find them in time" Natasha says.
"You have to narrow the field. How many spectrometers do you access to?" Banner asks.
"How many are there?" Fury asks.
"Call every lab you know, tell them to put the spectrometers on the roof and calibrate them for gamma rays. We'll rough out a tracking algorithm based on cluster recognition. At least we could rule out a few places. Do you have somewhere for us to work?" Hermione asks. And Dr. Banner looks at her in respect.
"Agent Romanoff, would you show Dr. Banner and Dr. Granger to their laboratory, please" Natasha nods and walks off, leading Hermione and Banner down the hall.
"You're gonna love it. We got all the toys." Natasha says.
