The helicarrier flies through the clouds.
INT. HALL, CARRIER - CONTINUOUS
Loki is escorted down the halls by a troop of armed guards. He walks past a window - the wish bone lab, where Banner is working. Loki smiles through the window at him. Banner removes his glasses and rubs his temples.
INT. CYLINDRICAL GLASS CAGE, CARRIER - CONTINUOUS
Loki is locked in a cylindrical glass cage. Fury walks in and over to a control panel.
Fury:"In case it's unclear, you try to escape- you so much as scratch that glass-"
Fury pushes a button and the floor beneath the cell drops away to nothing, the wind screams.
"Was that necessary?" Minerva asked.
"Given the situation, yes it was." Natasha replied.
Fury:"Thirty thousand feet straight down in a steel trap. You get how that works?"
He pushes a button and closes the floor. He gestures first to Loki.
Fury:"Ant."(gestures to panel)"Boot."
Loki:"It's an impressive cage. Not built,I think, for me."
Fury:"Built for something a lot stronger than you."
Loki:"Oh I've heard."(turns to a camera)...
INT. CONFERENCE TABLE, BRIDGE, CARRIER - CONTINUOUS
On the glass table a monitor is up Loki on it, watching it is Natasha. As Loki talks she looks up at Banner. Banner looks at her, smirking about her cage comment earlier.
"So you're stronger than him?"Rose asked.
"Yes."Bruce smirks a little, having seen the footage of what Hulk had done to Loki.
Loki:"...A mindless beast- makes play he's still a man..."
We see Thor listen intently.
Loki:"...How desperate are you, that you call on such lost creatures to defend you?"
Fury:(V.O)"How desperate am I?..."
INT. CYLINDRICAL GLASS CAGE, CARRIER - CONTINUOUS (NIGHT)
Fury moves toward the cage slowly.
Fury:"...You threaten my world with war,you steal a force you can't hope to control, you talk about peace and you kill 'cause it's fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did."
Loki:"Ooh. It burns you to have come so close, to have the Tesseract, to have power- unlimited power, and for what? (smiles and faces thecamera) A..."
Dumbledore look really intrigue by the Tesseract, wanting to study it.
INT. BRIDGE, CARRIER - CONTINUOUS
Hill is watching Loki on a screen too.
Loki:"...warm light for all mankind to share?"
INT. CYLINDRICAL GLASS CAGE, CARRIER - CONTINUOUS (NIGHT)
Loki faces Fury again
Loki:"And then to be reminded what real power is."
Fury smiles.
Fury:"Well, let me know if 'real power'wants a magazine or something."
Everyone couldn't help but laughed.
Fury exits.
INT. CONFERENCE TABLE, BRIDGE, CARRIER - CONTINUOUS
The monitor on Cap's side of the table turns off. Steve, in suit with no cowl, looks up.
Banner:"He really grows on you doesn't he?"
Steve:"Loki's gonna drag this out. So, Thor, what's his play?"
Thor:"He has an army called the 're not of Asgard nor any world known. He means to lead the against your people. They will win him the Earth, in return, I suspect, for the Tesseract."
"An army from space?"The Pureblood scoffed not believing it, while some wondered why they never heard of that.
"Have you forget that we had seen a glance of that army earlier on?"Alex asked.
"How dare you talk to me that way!"Lord Nott sneered at the squib.
Alex raised an eyebrow."What's his problem?"
Steve:"An army, from outer space?"
Banner:"So, he's building another 's what he needs Erik Selvig for."
Thor:"Selvig?"
Banner:"He's an astrophysicist."
Thor:"He's a friend."
Alex:(Alex and Natasha shared a look)"Loki has them under some kind of spell- along with one of ours."
"You care!"Clint teased his best friend and nephew in a sing-song voice. Natasha rolled her eyes as Alex sighed.
Steve:"I wanna know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here."
"That's true."Kingsley said.
Banner:"I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats, you can small crazy on him."
Thor:"Have care how you speak. Loki is beyond reason but he is of Asgard,and he is my brother."
Natasha:"He killed eighty people in two days."
The witches and wizards gasp.
Thor:"He's adopted?"
"That doesn't make it better."Marlene said.
Banner:"I think it's about the , what do they need the Iridium for?"
Tony and Coulson come walking in.
Tony:"It's a stabilizing agent."(to Coulson, quietly)"I'm saying, take a weekend; I'll fly you to Portland. Keep love alive."
"That's sweet."Dorcas said.
Coulson peels off from Tony, who is heading over to Thor.
Tony:"Means the portal won't collapse on itself like it did at SHIELD."(to Thor)"No hard feelings point break, you got a mean swing."
"Damn you Stark..."Thor muttered, him and his infuriating nicknames...
Thor gives Tony a look as he walks to the control panels.
Tony:"Also, means the portal can open as wide and stay open as long as Loki wants.(to SHIELD personnel)Ah, raise the mizzen mast, ship the topsails."
The personnel look at him strangely.
Tony:"That man is playing Galaga! Thought we wouldn't notice, but we did."
"What's Galaga?"Arthur asked.
"It's a muggle game."Hermione answered.
Standing now at the command area of the ship, Tony covers one eye.
Tony:(to Hill)"How does Fury even see these?"
Maria Hill:(attitude)"He turns!"
Tony:"Sounds exhausting!"
He begins messing with the screens, sticking something to the underside of a desk.
"Really Tony?"Natasha asked with a raise eyebrow at him, making him raising his hand in defense.
Tony:"The rest of the raw materials, Agent Barton can get his hands on pretty easily. Only major component he still needs is a power source of high energy density. Something to- kick start the Cube."
Maria Hill:"When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?"
Tony:"Last night. The packet, Selvig's notes, the extraction theory papers- am I the only one who did the reading?"
Alex:"Does Loki need any particular kind of power source?"
Banner:"He's have to heat the Cube to a hundred and twenty million kelvin just to break through the Coulomb barrier."
Tony:"Unless, Selvig has figured out how to stabilize the Quantum Tunneling effect."
Banner:"Well, if he could do that he could achieve heavy-ion fusion at any reactor on the planet."
Tony:"Finally. Someone who speaks English."
The witches and wizards look at the scene with confused look on their face.
"Did anyone understand what they said?"Blaise asked as many students shakes their head negatively."Ah so I'm not the only one."
Alex:(Muttered)"I wouldn't call it english."
Every student nodded.
"I agree with him."Charlie said.
Steve:(to the others)"Is that what just happened?"
Stark and Banner shake hands.
"The birth of the science bros."Alex said.
Tony:"It's good to meet you, Doctor Banner. Your work on anti-electronic collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you- lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster."
Banner:"...Thanks."
Fury enters.
Fury:"Doctor Banner is only here to track the Cube. I was hoping you might join him."
Steve:"I'd start with that stick of may be magical but it works an awful lot like a HYDRA weapon."
The witches and wizards raised an eyebrow, wondering what is HYDRA?
Fury:"I don't know about that, but it is powered by the Cube. And I like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys."
Thor:"Monkeys? I do not understand-"
Steve:"I do!"
The entire room goes instantly silent, staring at Steve.
Steve:"I...I understood that reference."
Steve blush embarrassed as everyone laughed.
Tony rolls his eyes, while Cap looks proud of himself.
"Tony look so done with Cap."Clint and Alex laughed.
Tony:"Shall we play, Doctor?"
Banner:"This way, sir."
The two men walk off. the GALAGA PLAYER turns ever so discreetly, watches as everyone else disperses and goes back to playing.
INT. WISHBONE LAB, CARRIER - NIGHT
Banner and Stark are working on tracking the Cube. Banner is scanning the scepter with a device.
Banner:"The Gamma readings are definitely consistent with Selvig's reports on the Tesseract. But it's gonna take weeks to process."
Stark works on a screen.
Tony:"If we bypass their mainframe and direct route to the Homer cluster we can clock this at around six hundred teraflops."
Many student looked at the screen confused.
Banner:"All I packed was a toothbrush."
Tony:(giggles a bit)"You know, you should come by Stark Tower some time. Top ten floors all R and D. You'd love it, it's a candy land."
"Woah something like that exist!"Ron said excitedly.
"It's not real candy land, Ronald."Hermione said, rolling her eyes at him.
"Oh."
Banner:"Thanks but...last time I was in New York I kind of broke...Harlem."
Tony:"Well, I promise a stress free environment. No tension, no surprises."
He zaps Banner in the side.
Banner:"Ow!"
Steve:"Hey!"
Tony:"Nothing?"
Steve approaches.
Steve:"Are you nuts?"
"He is."Natasha said.
"Hey!"Tony pouted.
Tony:"Jury's out!(to Banner)You really have got a lid on it,haven't you? What's your secret?Mellow jazz, bongo drums, huge bag of weed?"
Steve:"Is everything a joke to you?"
Tony:"Funny things are."
"Can you take it seriously!"Molly and Lily said annoyed.
"Can you shut up!"Alex said annoyed with them.
Steve:"Threatening the safety of everyone on this ship isn't funny. No offense, Doc."
Banner:"No it's alright. I wouldn't have come a board if I couldn't handle pointy things."
Tony:"You're tip-toeing, big man. You need to strut."
The Potters scoffed.
Steve:"And you need to focus on the problem, Mister Stark."
Tony:"You think I'm not? Why did Fury call us in? Why now, why not before? What isn't he telling us? I can't do the equation unless I have all the variables."
Steve:"You think Fury's hiding something?"
Tony:"He's a spy. Captain, he's the spy. His secrets have secrets."
"He does have a point."Tonks shrugged.
He gestures to Banner.
Tony:"It's bugging him to, isn't it?"
Banner:"Uh, Aah, I just wanna finish my work here and-"
Steve:"Doctor?"
Banner:"A warm light for all mankind, Loki's jab at Fury about the Cube."
Steve:"I heard it."
Banner:"Well, I think that was meant for you."
He gestures to Stark, who offers him a blueberry.
"Where did you even get blueberry?"Natasha asked Tony.
"That's my secret."Tony replies wiggling his eyebrows.
Banner:"Even if Barton didn't tell Loki about the tower, it was still all over the news."
Steve:"The Stark Tower? That big ugly-"
Stark gives him a look.
Steve:"-building in New York?"
Tony looked at Steve offended.
Banner:"It's powered by an arc reactor,self-sustaining energy source. That building will run itself for, what,a year?"
Tony:"It's just the prototype."(to Rodgers)"I'm kind of the only name in clean energy right now, that's what he's getting at."
Banner:"So, why didn't SHIELD bring him in on the Tesseract project? What are they even doing in the energy business in the first place?"
Tony:"I should probably look into that as soon as my decryption program finishes breaking into all of SHIELD's secure files."
"You shouldn't do that."Lily frowned.
"And I don't care about your opinion."Tony said.
Steve:"I'm sorry did you say"
Tony:"Jarvis has been running it since I hit the bridge. In a few hours I'll know every dirty secret SHIELD has ever tried to hide. Blueberry?"
Steve:"Yet you're confused about why they didn't want you around."
Tony:"An intelligence organization that fears intelligence? Historically,not awesome."
Steve:"I think Loki's trying to wind us up. This is a man who means to start a war and if we don't stay focused he'll succeed. We have orders, we should follow them."
Tony:"Following's not really my style."
"Really we didn't noticed."Natasha snorted.
Steve:"And you're all about style, aren't you?"
Tony:"Out of the people in this room,which one is "A" wearing a spangly outfit and "B" not of use?"
"Do they argue with each other often?"
"Yes!" The Avengers other then Tony and Steve said in unison.
"They are like an old married couple."Alex said.
"Hey!"But then Steve and Tony glared at each other.
Banner:"Steve, tell me none of this smells a little funky to you?"
Steve:"Just find the Cube."
Cap exits the lab, pauses and turns, walking off in another direction.
Tony:"That's the guy my dad never shut up about? Wondering if they shouldn't have kept him on ice."
Banner:"Guy's not wrong about Loki, he does have the jump on us."
Tony:"What he's got is an ACME dynamite kit. It's gonna blow up in his face, and I'm gonna be there when it does."
Banner:"I'll read all about it."
Tony:"Mhm, or, you'll be suiting up with the rest of us."
Banner:"Now, you see I don't get a suit of armor. I'm exposed, like a nerve,it's a nightmare."
Tony:"You know, I've got a cluster shrapnel, trying every second to crawl its way into my heart. This stops it"He taps the arc reactor. "-this little circle of light. It's part of me now, not just 's a terrible privilege."
Banner:"But you can control it."
Tony:"Because I learned how."
Banner:"It's different."
Tony wipes clean the screen between them that Banner was working on.
Tony:"Hey, I read all about your accident. That much Gamma exposure should've killed you."
Banner:"So you're saying that the Hulk- the Other Guy- saved my life? That'snice. That's nice sentiment. Saved it for- what?"
Tony:"I guess we'll find out."
Banner:"You may not enjoy that."
Tony:"And you just might."
"Nice to see the science bros bonding time."Clint said with a smirked as Tony and Bruce smile at each other.
INT. STORAGE ROOM, CARRIER - EARLY DAWN
Cap forces open the entrance to a storage room. He walks in, looking around then silently jumps up to a catwalk above.
"What are you doing?"Harry raised an eyebrow.

Selvig places the Iridium into a device by the Tesseract. He smiles.
Agent Coulson:(V.O)"As soon as Loki took the doctor we..."
INT. BRIDGE, CARRIER - CONTINUOUS
Coulson is showing Thor an image of Jane Foster on a computer screen.
"Who's that?"Hannah asked.
"That's Jane." Thor replied smiling sadly at his ex.
"She's beautiful."Rose said as Thor nodded.
Agent Coulson:"...moved Jane Foster. We've got an excellent observatory in Tromsø.She was asked to consult there very suddenly yesterday. Handsome fee,private plane, very remote. She'll be safe."
Thor:"Thank you. It's no accident Loki taking Erik Selvig. I dread what he plans for him once he's done. Erik is a good man."
Coulson and Thor begins walking, through the bridge.
Agent Coulson:"He talks about you a lot. You changed his life. You changed everything around here."
Thor:"They were better as they were. We pretend on Asgard that we're more advanced, but we- we come here battling like Bildschneip."
"A what?"Many asked.
Agent Coulson:"Like what?"
Thor:"Bildschneip. You know, huge, scaly,big antlers. You don't have those?"
"I think he just describes you Prongs."Sirius joked as James rolled his eyes at him.
Agent Coulson:"Don't think so."
Thor:"Huh! Well they are repulsive, and they trample everything in their path."
Theres some chuckles at how Thor describes the creature.
Thor moves over to a large window.
Thor:"When I first came to earth, Loki's rage followed me here and your people paid the price. And now again. In my youth I courted war."
Fury:"War hasn't started yet. You think you can make Loki tell us where the Tesseract is?"
Dumbledore along with some Pureblood pay more attention wanting to know more...
Thor:"I do not know. Loki's mind is far afield, it's not just power he craves, it's vengeance upon 's no pain would prise his need from him."
Fury:"A lot of guys think that, until the pain starts."
Thor:"What are you asking me to do?"
Fury:"I'm asking, what are you prepared to do?"
Thor:"Loki is a prisoner."
Fury:"Then why do I feel like he's the only person on this boat that wants to be here?"
"That's true."Kingsley said.
"But why would he want to be there?"Hestia wondered.
INT. CYLINDRICAL GLASS CAGE, CARRIER - DAWN
Alex and Natasha are walking together.
Alex:"Do you want me to go in there with you?"
"Go where?"Harry asked.
Natasha:"No just stay in standby."
Alex:"Are you sure?"
Natasha:"Yes."
Loki walks back and forth inside his glass cell. Suddenly, he stops.
"Why did he stop?"
Loki:"Hm. There's not many people that can sneak up on me."
Natasha stiff remembering her conversation with Loki.
(turns to see Natasha STANDING THERE)
Natasha:"But you figured I'd come."
Loki:"After. After whatever tortures Fury can concoct, you would appear as a friend, as a balm. And I would cooperate."
Natasha:"I wanna know what you've done to Agent Barton."
Loki:"I'd say I've expanded his mind, maybe I could do the same to your son."
Clint, Natasha, Wanda glare at Loki on the screen while Alex flinched his mind had already been messed with and he really hate it.
Natasha:"And once you've won. Once you're king of the mountain. What happens to his mind?"
Loki:"Is this love, Agent Romanoff?"
Natasha:"Love is for children."
Loki:"What about your son?"
Natasha:(Not taking the bait)"Beside I owe barton a debt."
"You don't own me anything you know that right. Both of you."Clint said sincerely which Natasha nodded in return with a small smile.
"And we are grateful for that."Alex said with a smile.
Loki:(sitting down)"Tell me."
Natasha:(she pulls up a chair as well)"Before We worked for SHIELD, We uh well, We made a name for ourselves. We have a very specific skill set. We got on SHIELD's radar in a bad way. Agent Barton was sent to kill us, he made a different call."
Silent fill the hall...
"That's how you met?"Wanda asked.
"Yeah."Clint nodded.
"Was that Budapest?"Tony asked, but didn't get a replied from the trio. "Come on, why won't you tell us what happened there!"
The Potters were glaring at Clint.
Loki:"And what will you do if I vow to spare him?"
Natasha:"Not let you out."
Loki:(laughs)"Ah, no. But I like this. Your world in the balance, and you bargain for one man?"
Natasha:"Regime's fall everyday. I tend not to weep over that, I'm Russian, or I was."
Loki:"And what are you now?"
Natasha:"It's really not that complicated. I got red in my ledger. I'd like to wipe it out."
Loki:"Can you? Can you wipe out that much red? Dreykov's daughter? Sao Paulo? The hospital fire? Barton told me everything. Your ledger is dripping, it's gushing red, and you think saving a man no more virtuous than yourself will change anything?"(Standing angry)"This is the basest is a child, a prayer. Pathetic"
The great hall fell silent as some people look at Natasha and Alex wary. While Natasha along with Alex tensed up at the mention of Dreykov.
"I'm so sorry."Clint apologized as it was his fault that loki know of all that.
"It's okay, it's wasn't your fault, you were mind control."Natasha reassured him, Alex nodded in agreement.

Steve scowled seeing those weapons.
Loki:(V.O)"...something that makes up for the horrors. But they are a part of you, and they will never go away."
INT. CYLINDRICAL GLASS CAGE, CARRIER - CONTINUOUS
Loki slams his fist against the glass. Making Natasha flinch.
Loki:"I won't touch Barton! Not until I make him kill your son before killing you. Slowly, intimately, in every way he knows you fear-"
"I wouldn't, I..."Clint said.
"It's okay, we know you wouldn't."Natasha replied rubbing his shoulder in comfort as Alex give him a reassuring smile.
Natasha becomes scared out of her mind.
Loki:"And then he'll wake just long enough to see his good work-"
Natasha turns away from Loki in horror.
Loki:"and when he screams I'll split his skull! This is my bargain, you mewling quim!"
"What's a mewling quim?"Astoria asked.
Sounds of Natasha sobbing. Her head hangs low.
Natasha:"You're a monster!"
Loki:(grinning menacingly)"Oh, no. You brought the monster."
Clint burst out laughing."No way he felt for that." Getting a nodded from Natasha who smirk.
Everyone in the great hall is confused by what he mean.
Natasha lifts her head and turns to face Loki - her face is dry.
Natasha:"So, Banner? That's your play."
"Wait what?!"Many exclaimed.
"You were acting!"Susan exclaimed.
"She tricked him!"The Weasley twin said in unison.
"That was so awesome, for a second I thought he got her!"Ginny exclaimed.
Loki:"What?"
Natasha begins to exit the room.
Natasha:(into earpiece)"Loki means to unleash the Banner in the lab, I'm on my way. Send Thor as well."
She stops and faces Loki.
Natasha:"Thank you, for your cooperation!"
Natasha walk away leaving Loki frozen. Alex joined her.
The great hall was still shocked.
INT. WISHBONE LAB, CARRIER - MORNING
Fury enters.
Fury:"What are you doing, Mr. Stark?"
Tony:"Uh- kind of been wondering the same thing about you."
Fury:"You're supposed to be locating the Tesseract."
Banner:"We are, the model's locked and we're sweeping for the signature now. When we get a hit, we'll have the location within half a mile."
Tony:"And you'll get your cube back, no muss, no fuss. What is Phase Two?"
"Are we going to find out what's phase two?"Cho asked.
Steve enters, and slams a large HYDRA gun on the table.
Steve:"Phase Two is SHIELD used the Cube to make weapons."(to Tony) "Sorry, computer was moving a little slow for me."
Some chuckles, Steve smile sheepishly.
Fury:"Rogers, we gathered everything related to the Tesseract. This does not mean that we're-"
Tony:"I'm sorry, Nick."
Tony turns the screen towards Fury. It shows a plan for some a missile.
Tony:"What were you lying?"
Steve:"I was wrong, Director. The world hasn't changed a bit."
Thor, Alex and Natasha enter. Banner looks to her.
Banner:"Did you know about this?"
Natasha:"You wanna think about removing yourself from this environment,doctor?"
Banner:(laughs)"I was in Calcutta, I was pretty well removed."
Natasha:"Loki's manipulating you."
"They should have listen to you."Alex sighed.
Banner:"And you've been doing what exactly?"
"He does have a point, he wanted nothing to do with this but you convinced him the world need him."Kingsley said.
Natasha:"You didn't come here because I bat my eyelashes at you."
Banner:"Yes, and I'm not leaving because suddenly you get a little twitchy. I'd like to know why SHIELD is using the Tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction."
Fury:(pointing at Thor)"Because of him."
Thor:"Me?"
Some chuckle at how confused Thor look like that.
Fury:"Last year earth had a visitor from another planet who had a grudge match that leveled a small town. We learned that not only are we not alone, but we are hopelessly hilariously, out-gunned."
Amelia, Moody and aurors nodded knowing were he was coming from.
Thor:"My people want nothing but peace with your planet."
Fury:"But you're not the only people out there, are you? And, you're not the only threat. The world's filling up with people who can't be matched,they can't be controlled."
Steve:"Like you controlled the cube!"
Thor:"Your work with the Tesseract is what drew Loki to it, and his allies. It is the signal to all the realms that the earth is ready for A HIGHER FORM OF WAR."
Steve:"A higher form?!"
The witches and wizards gasp looking frightened. But the Pureblood scoffed thinking they can take them on.
Fury:"You forced our hand! We had to come up with some-"
Tony:"Nuclear deterrent! 'Cause that always calms everything right down."
Everyone becomes hostile and begin cutting each other off.
Fury:"Remind me again how you made your fortune, Stark?"
"What does he mean?"Daphne asked, ignoring the looks some of her Slytherin classmates were giving her.
"I inherited my father Industries which where making weapons until I decide to stop the production of them." Tony answered.
Wanda flinched not wanting to be remind of how she lost her parents as she cuddle closer to her fiancé, enjoying the comfort she was feeling from him.
Steve:"I'm sure if he still made weapons,Stark would be neck deep-"
Tony:"Wait-Wait! Hold on! How is this now about me?"
Steve:"I'm sorry, isn't everything?"
Thor:"I thought humans were more evolved than this."
Fury:"Excuse me, did we come to your planet and blow stuff up?"
Thor:"Did you always give your champions such mistrust?"
Alex:"Are you guys really that naive? S.H.I.E.L.D monitors potential threats."
Banner:(to Alex)"And Captain America is on the threat poll?"
Alex:(to Banner)"We all are!"
"Make sense they have the potential to be a threat so they have to be prepared."Amelia said.
Fury:"That's not your concern doctor!"
Tony:(to Steve)"You're on that list? Are you above or below angry bees?"
Steve:"I swear to God, Stark, one more crack..."
Tony:"VERBAL THREAT! I FEEL THREATENED!"
The Potters scoffed; the more they watched the movie, the more it proved to them that they were a bad influence on their son.
As they argue over one another & the scepter glows strongly.
INT. BARTON'S JET - CONTINUOUS
On a screen in the jet is Loki's scepter. Inside men working for Loki put on masks and load weapons. Clint readies his bow.
Intercom Voice:"Transport six-six-five-oh. Please relay your form code. Got you on the computer but not on the datalog. What is your haul? Over."
Pilot:"Arms to ammunition. Over."
Clint sighed tiredly at his teammate arguing with each other at the worst time.
INT. WISHBONE LAB, CARRIER - CONTINUOUS (MORNING)
Thor:"You speak of control, yet you court chaos!"
Banner:"It's his MO, isn't it? I mean, what are we, a team? No, no, no. We're a chemical mixture that makes 're- we're a time bomb."
The Pureblood students look confused, Hermione noticing the confused look decided to explain.
"Its like a potion that have a certain time before it blow up." Hermione explained, getting fright look from them.
Fury:"You need to step away."
Tony:(put his arm around Steve)"Why shouldn't they guy let off a little steam?"
Steve:(Pushes Tony off)"You know damn well why! Back off!"
Tony:(Comes face-to-face with Cap)"Oh, I'm starting to want you to make me."
Steve:"Yeah, big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?"
Tony:"Genius, billionaire, playboy,philanthropist."
Some scoffed at his arrogance.
Natasha tilt her head in way that says 'he's not wrong'.
Steve:"I know guys with none of that worth ten of you. I've seen the footage. The only thing you really fight for is yourself. You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play, to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you."
Tony:"I think I would just cut the wire."
Steve:"Always a way out. You know, you may not be a threat, but you better stop pretending to be a hero."
Tony:"A hero, like you? You're a laboratory experiment, Rogers. Everything special about you came out of a bottle."
INT. BARTON'S JET - CONTINUOUS
The ramp opens and Clint nocks an arrow, takes aim and lets it loose. The arrow swings in the air and attaches to the side of one of the carrier's enormous engines, flashing.
Some looked awe at his archery skill.
INT. WISHBONE LAB, CARRIER - CONTINUOUS (MORNING)
Steve:"Put on the suit, let's go a few rounds."
Thor:(laughs)"You people are so petty, and tiny."
Everyone look at him weirdly as Hagrid laughed.
Banner:"Yeah, this is a team."
Fury:"Agent Romanoff, would you escort Dr. Banner back to his-"
Banner:"WHERE? YOU RENTED MY ROOM!"
Fury:"The cell was just-"
Banner:"IN CASE YOU NEEDED TO KILL ME. BUT YOU CAN'T, I KNOW, I TRIED!"
He stops, everyone is staring at him.
Banner:"I got low. I didn't see an end so I put a bullet in my mouth and the other guy spit it out. So I moved on, I focused on helping other people. I was good until you dragged me back into this freak show and put everyone here at risk. You wanna know my secret, Agent Romanoff? You wanna know how I stay calm?"
The great hall was shocked at what he said, Bruce looked down, he didn't want all those people see him talk about his attempt. The Avengers glance at him concerned.
Everyone is watching Banner, Fury, Alex and Natasha reach for their guns.
Alex:"Doctor Banner, put down the scepter."
Banner looks down, surprised, to see the spear in his monitor makes a noise, signaling the Tesseract has been located. Banner puts the scepter back on the table and walks over to the screen on the other side of the room.
Fury:"Got it!"
Banner:"Sorry, kids. You don't get to see my party trick after all."
Thor:"Located the Tesseract?"
Tony:"I can get there faster."
Steve:"Look, all of us-"
Thor:"The Tesseract belongs on Asgard, no human is a match for it."
Many frowned at what he just say, not believing him.
Stark turns to leave and Rogers holds him back.
Steve:"You're not going alone!"
Tony smacks his hand.
Tony:"You gonna stop me?"
Steve:"Put on the suit, let's find out!"
Tony:"I'm not afraid to hit an old man."
Some frowned, wondering if this was Loki's real plan, to divide them.
Steve:"Put on the suit."
Banner sees something on the monitor.
Banner:"Oh-my-god."

Clint kneels down and presses a button on his bow. The arrow head explodes. The blast destroys one of the engines.
