"The Avengers?" Peter asked excitedly, "As in their first ever team-up?"

"Yes. That is exactly what we're going to see now." Daisy said as Peter looked happy.

"Well, that ought to be something." Tony said.

"Yup." Steve said.

"Is it too late to be sent back in time?" Loki asked.

"Yes." Logan said and he sighed.

"Don't worry." Benjamin said, "Just keep calm and don't kill Loki."

Everyone chuckled a bit at that.

"I think you won't now would you?" Storm asked.

"After seeing his regret, I don't think so." Steve said.

"Though I might call you a jerk at times." Natasha said.

"I think he can understand." Thor shrugged as Loki sighed.

"Well, let's start." Odinson said.

"Yeah." Bobbi agreed.

"With pleasure." Benjamin said as he started the new recording.

New York City is shown and inside it, people are recovering from the carnage that has just happened. The police officers and firefighters help the injured civilians as Steve is shown watching, with his shield in hand and no mask while Hill is heard saying to someone that they want to know what went wrong.

"We begin right here?" Natasha asked in shock.

"It will flash back after this." Benjamin said and everyone nodded.

Maria Hill is shown in a SHIELD Interrogation room 48 hours after the Teserract event as she tells the World Security Council how it could have gone better. One of the members mentions Nick Fury and she scoffs, saying in the time of war, he thinks of superheroes.

"It's me!" Hill smiled as everyone clapped a little for her.

"So you hate me?" Fury asked with a smirk.

"No. Just need to show them something." Hill said.

"You're definitely in line to be the next Director." Clint said and everyone chuckled.

Gideon Malick realized she was talking about the Avengers and she said with them together, this was expected as Hulk was suddenly shown roaring.

Everyone jumped at that.

"Okay, why did you do that?" Bruce asked.

"It was funny." Logan shrugged.

"You hate us too?" Tony asked jokingly.

"Performance, Stark." Hill said.

Gideon and Hawley mentioned how several aspects of the Incident are beyond everyone's grasp and inquired about the creatures as Hill told them what Fury had said to her, "In the time of Gods and Monsters, what is the worth of a man?" Thor was shown standing in New York as blood dripped from Mjolnir.

"You said that?" T'Challa asked.

"We were backing the Council into a corner." Fury told him.

"And I was the one doing it." Hill said as Fury smiled proudly.

"I don't know what he means." Hill said, "And men…are dying all around. Good men. Friends. Even some heroes." The visor of Tony's Iron Man Suit was shown falling on the ground.

"Mine!" Tony said and everyone chuckled.

"Ripped out by me." Thor said.

Hawley inquired if mistakes were made and Hill said astonishing ones before trailing off as Hawley continued calling out to her.

"All right. That is a great performance you're giving." Natasha said as Hill smiled.

"Thanks." She said.

"Yes. I can agree to that too." Bobbi said and Hill nodded at her too.

The Teserract was shown as a voice said it had awakened on a little human world. Strange blue steps were shown as some kind of creature was shown kneeling to an unknown figure, saying they wielded its power but their ally knew it was working and they will never learn.

"Who is that?" Bucky asked.

"The Other." Loki said, his face pale as he shook.

"Loki." Thor inquired gently as he shook him and he seemed to snap out of it, "You all right?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." He said though he didn't seem fine.

"Who is he talking to?" Sam asked.

Before Loki could respond, Daisy said, "We'll tell you at the end of this one."

The Other was shown handing the Scepter to Loki.

"Yes. It's me being full on supervillain." Loki said and everybody sighed.

The Other said he was ready to lead and their force, the Chitauri would follow.

"Chitauri." Odinson growled.

The Chitauri were shown, getting ready.

The original 6 Avengers clenched their fists angrily.

"The world will be his and the universe yours." The Other said, "And the humans, what can they do, but burn."

"You obviously haven't met us lot." Tony said.

"Especially this one." Rhodes said as he gestured to Tony and everyone chuckled.

"So this Other showed you the power?" Thor asked.

"Someone else. Someone worse." Loki said as he paled again.

A helicopter flew over the Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility and landed as Maria Hill stepped out with Nick Fury following. They met Phil Coulson as Fury asked how bad it was and Coulson said the problem was they didn't know. The place was being evacuated.

"I did." Loki said and everybody sighed.

Coulson said Selvig read an energy surge from the Teserract four hours ago and that it had turned itself on.

"Nope. Someone else had." Fury said as he glanced at Loki.

"I noticed." Clint said.

Coulson said everyone would be out in half an hour and Fury told him to get on with it as Hill said there might not be a minimum safe distance due to them not knowing much about the Teserract.

"Good point." Pepper said.

Fury asked her to get everything regarding Phase 2 out and it was a priority until a time when the world was ending.

"It was." Natasha said.

"Didn't know that." Fury shrugged.

"Phase 2, huh?" Steve asked with a raised eyebrow and Fury shrugged again.

"We like to be prepared." He said.

"I know. I know." Tony said.

"I wonder what took you so long." Daisy said as everyone looked confused.

Hill walked off to comply as Fury walked up to Erik Selvig who told him the Teserract was behaving by itself and was turning itself back on. They were trying to harness energy from space without a harness. Fury asked where Barton was. Selvig called him the Hawk and pointing up said he was in his nest.

"That ain't my nest." Clint said.

"He already seems off." Thor said.

"Yes. Because I was influencing him a little." Loki said.

"Yes you were." Odinson shrugged.

Fury called Clint Barton and he slid down from above via rope as Fury said he had asked him to keep a close eye. "I can see better from a distance." Clint said.

"Yeah you do." Fury said as Clint smirked.

Clint said no one had come or gone and Erik was clean so tampering was from the other end, confusing Fury. Clint said this Teserract was a door to space so tampering could have been done from the other end.

"You're so smart." Natasha said.

"Yes. Even though you don't show it." Bobbi agreed.

"Thanks." Clint smirked.

"There's a reason I hired him." Fury said.

Erik and the other scientists saw the Teserract was spiking again as sparks flew out of it and the entire building rumbled, which was noticed by Hill and Coulson. A light shot out of the Teserract at the other end of the room and a portal opened as a figure appeared. The portal closed and the blue light faded as the agents pointed their guns at him. The figure, who was none other than Loki, looked up with an insane smirk.

"It's me!" Loki said when Thor smacked his head.

"Shut up!" He said.

"You killed my agents!" Fury snarled.

"All right, I will shut up." Loki said dryly.

"You look off already." Peter said.

"I'm in control of myself but not totally sane." Loki simply said.

Fury commanded him to put down the spear as he looked at it with a smirk and pointing it, fired a blue light as Clint pushed Fury off and another agent was hit. Two others tried to fire but he threw his knives, killing them both. He fired a blast from the Scepter, destroying the computer and killing a scientist.

"Evil jerk!" Hill snarled.

"Thank you." Loki smirked and Thor smacked him again.

"Don't make me angry." Bruce said, "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

"I thought it was hungry." Loki joked and Bruce looked back at the screen.

The agents fired at Loki but the bullets ricocheted off his durable skin and he fired another blast, disintegrating an agent behind Clint before leaping at another and stabbing him. He then kicked another one towards a wall. Clint tried to get up but Loki grabbed him and pressed the Scepter to his chest as his eyes lost their natural color and turned blue.

"You changed my eye color. I put one through your eye socket." Clint snarled.

"You blasted me off!" Loki said.

Fury watched in horror as Loki did the same to a few more agents. Fury quickly picked up the Cube and putting it in a case, started walking away when Loki stopped him, saying he needed it. Fury said it didn't have to get any messier but Loki said it would. "I am Loki of Asgard. And I am burdened with glorious purpose." Loki introduced himself as Erik recognized him "We have no quarrel with your people." Fury tried to reason. "An ant has no quarrel with a boot." Loki countered.

"Nope. But it was the other way round later." Fury said.

"No need to throw it in my face." Loki said.

"Show some regret, Prince Loki." T'Challa told him.

Loki said he had glad tiding of a world made free of freedom itself as it was life's greatest lie and when people realized it, they would be at peace. With that, he touched Erik's chest with the Scepter and he was mind-controlled too.

"No. Freedom is something with a high price that everyone deserves." Steve countered and Loki didn't say a word.

"Jerk." Thor said to Loki as he looked at him controlling Erik.

Fury knew what he was talking about as Clint saw the machine spiking and told Loki Fury was stalling to bury them like the Pharaohs of Old. Clint then shot Fury in the side and he was down as Clint picked up the case and handed it to Selvig. They all walked away as the facility started collapsing.

"I'm sorry, sir." Clint said regretfully.

"It wasn't your fault, Barton." Fury assured, "And you didn't kill me."

Clint told he needed the cars as they stepped in and Hill inquired about Loki. Fury, who had gotten up, ripped the bullet out of his vest and told her Barton was compromised as he fired at her and she rolled to avoid. They sped away as Fury told her they had the Teserract. Hill got in her car and sped after them in the tunnel.

"It's on." Aunt May said.

An agent tried to fire at Loki but he fired from his Scepter and the car toppled as Barton continued driving. The building rumbled and the cases fell from the hands of the agents but Coulson told them to leave it and run.

"Sir cared about his subordinates a little more than the job." Daisy smiled.

"Which is why we all looked up to him." Bobbi smiled.

Fury simply sighed, realizing he needed to tell the others now.

Hill sped in front of Clint and the two exchanged gunfire before he forced her vehicle out of the way and sped off with her following. Coulson and his men got into a jeep as Fury leapt into a helicopter and flew up while the machine exploded, destroying the facility as Loki and Clint escaped while debris trapped Hill and Coulson's men watched in shock.

"Oh no!" Wanda said in horror.

"The facility is gone." Vision said.

"Were you all right?" Steve asked Hill.

"I was." She said.

Loki and Clint were out as Fury fired at them from his helicopter but Loki fired a blast at the tail of the helicopter, sending it down as he leapt off and it crashed.

"Shit!" Sam said.

Fury tried to fire again but Loki, Clint, Erik and the agents were gone in the vehicle as Coulson called out to Fury who said the Teserract had been taken by hostiles while Hill said men were buried underground. Fury said he wanted every living soul not needing rescue looking for the briefcase and Hill copied. He then asked Coulson to get back to base as it was a Level Seven. "As of right now, we are at war." Fury declared. "What do we do?" Coulson asked.

"Form an army." Fury said.

"Of freaks like us." Tony joked and everyone shook their heads.

"It takes freaks to beat a freak." Loki said.

In Russia, Natasha Romanoff, now with shorter hair, was tied to a chair, surrounded by several men, as one of them slapped her. His name was Georgi Luchkov.

"Get your hands off her." Bucky snarled.

"Relax, honey." Natasha said as the two held hands.

"How did they capture you?" Scott asked.

"I let them." Natasha said.

The two spoke in Russian about the illegal weapons deals Luchkov was doing while one of the men tilted her chair as Natasha realized he was using General Solohob as a front. Eventually, a henchman forced her mouth open as Luchkov picked up a pair of pliers.

"I'll kill all of them." Clint snarled.

"Not if I kill them first." Bucky said.

Steve was about to say something when Natasha said, "They didn't do anything."

Fury smirked.

A henchman's phone rang and picking it up, he handed it to Luchkov. Phil's voice came from the other end. He knew his location and told him to put the woman on the phone or he would blow up the area before he could make the lobby.

"He was going to save you by blowing you up?" Bucky asked incredulously.

"No!" Natasha said, "He was kidding. Luchkov brought it."

"Because he was a dumb dealer." Hill said.

Luchkov gave Natasha the phone and she said she was in the middle of an interrogation and the moron was giving her everything, confusing the man.

"She got you!" Steve smirked.

Natasha didn't want to be pulled out but Coulson told her Barton had been compromised and her expression changed.

"You came in for me?" Clint asked her.

"You gave me a chance." Natasha said, "I had to do something for you."

The two nodded at each other with smiles.

Natasha asked Luchkov to take the phone back but when he walked closer, she kicked his foot, sending him down before head-butting him out. Tied to the chair, she kicked another man down before hitting the last one with its leg, putting him down.

"You're kicking ass while tied to a chair? Wow!" Hope said, impressed.

"Thanks." Natasha shrugged.

"That's my girl!" Bucky said and the two smiled at each other.

Natasha rolled and hit another man before hitting his toes with the chair's leg and then hitting his face with her hair, sending him back.

"Okay, what did you put in your hair?" Tony asked.

"A lot of charm?" Natasha shrugged with a smirk and everyone chuckled.

As Coulson listened from the other end, Natasha beat the men and flipped on top of Luckov, breaking the chair.

"YES!" Thor, Bruce, Bucky and Peter cheered.

One of the men grabbed her but she freed herself and hit him with a broken piece, putting him down and then rushing another man, flipped him down too. She then grabbed Luchkov and wrapping him in a chain, left him hanging.

Everyone clapped happily at the scene.

"That was awesome." Scott said.

"Yeah. Nice work." Steve told her.

"I liked seeing it." Wanda said.

"Thanks." Natasha said.

She then picked up her heels and walked off as Coulson told her the situation and said she needed to bring in the big guy. She said Stark trusted her as far as he could throw her.

"And you trust me as far as you can shoot at me." Tony shrugged.

"Yup." Natasha smirked jokingly.

Coulson said he was getting Stark, she had to get the big guy.

"Me?" Bruce asked.

"Yup." Natasha said.

In Kolkata, India, a little girl ran around the congested streets before reaching a house where the woman asked her to go away as there was sickness there. The girl saw Dr. Bruce Banner there and holding up money, said her father was sick and not getting up. Bruce asked her if he was like the man he was treating and she nodded so he agreed to come with her.

"She was a good actress." Bruce said.

"She was." Natasha agreed.

The girl led Bruce to a house and as they went in, she climbed out of the back window and he smiled as Natasha appeared, telling him if he wanted to avoid stress, this was an interesting place to do so.

"The people were nice." Bruce said.

"Yeah, I've heard that a lot about India." Steve said.

Bruce said avoiding stress wasn't the secret and assumed the whole place was surrounded. Natasha said it was just them.

"Yeah right." Bruce said as Natasha shook her head.

Bruce asked her if she had come to kill him but she said she was on behalf of SHIELD who had never lost him and had kept other parties off his scent because Fury seemed to trust him. Bruce asked if he said no. She said she would persuade him. He asked if the Other Guy said no and she said he wouldn't want to break his streak that had been more than a year long.

"And you still did." Fury said and Bruce sighed.

She said they needed him because of a global catastrophe and showed him a picture of the Teserract on her phone. He jokingly asked if they wanted him to swallow it.

"Bad idea." Loki said.

"Unless you're a cat." Fury said and everyone looked confused.

Natasha said they wanted him to find it as it emitted a weak gamma signature and only he could find it. Bruce wondered if he was gonna be put in a cage. Natasha assured him he wasn't but he slammed his fists on the table, telling her to stop lying to him, making her pull out a gun.

Everyone jumped at that.

"I'm sorry, that was mean." Bruce said.

"Don't worry. I forgive you." Natasha told him.

"How do you do that?" Peter asked.

"How did you turn from that into such a comedian?" Thor asked Bruce and everyone looked incredulous.

"He's a comedian now?" Tony asked, "Which show."

"The Team Thor Show." Thor said with a laugh. [1]

"I guess two years as Hulk made me a comedian." Bruce shrugged.

Bruce apologized, saying he just wanted to see her reaction and she lowered her gun, telling the agents outside to stand down as Bruce remembered her telling it was just the two of them.

"Precautionary measures." Natasha said.

"Don't blame you." Bruce told her.

At the SHIELD Base, the Security Council told Fury the situation was out of control as Fury asked if they had ever felt an overabundance of control in a war. They asked if Asgard had declared war on the planet but Fury corrected it was Loki but they couldn't depend on Thor either even though he wasn't a hostile because he was worlds away.

"Not for long." Thor said.

"Nope." Loki agreed.

The Council told him to use Phase 2 but Fury said it wasn't ready and their enemy was so they needed a response team. The Council said he ran the world's greatest covert security network and he was gonna leave the world's fate to a handful of freaks.

"Freaks?" Tony asked incredulously.

"That's the word used for anything that people can't understand." Pepper sighed.

"We mutants were considered freaks for a long time." Logan shook his head.

"I'm sorry." Steve said and he nodded in appreciation.

Fury said he wasn't leaving anything to anyone. While these people were isolated and even unbalanced, with the right push, they could be exactly as needed. The Council said war wasn't won by sentiment and Fury said it was one by soldiers.

"And now he will recruit the perfect soldier." Daisy smiled as she looked at Steve who shook his head.

An old black and white film of Captain America fighting alongside the soldiers against Hydra was playing when Steve shut off the laptop, his blank face visible on it. He then looked at files of the Howling Commandos. Most of them were deceased. He saw Peggy's file and it said she was retired. Her address and phone number were given. Steve looked at his phone but at the last moment, chose against calling her.

"Why didn't you?" Bobbi asked.

"Didn't have the courage." Steve sighed, "And I didn't want to shock her."

Steve then saw the file of Howard Stark and it said he was deceased too.

Bucky looked down in guilt as Natasha held his hand for comfort. Steve and Tony looked saddened too.

Steve then saw a file on Tony, Howard's son and read carefully before putting it away.

"You thought I could be a second Howard for you?" Tony asked.

"It had been 2 weeks since he was out, Stark." Fury said, "He was still processing everything."

"Of course he would look for links to his past life." Clint pointed out.

"Still, it was unfair of me to expect you to be like your dad." Steve said, "So I'm sorry."

"It's all right. I understand." Tony said, knowing how hard it would be for someone to find themselves out of their time and then being asked to save the world just 2 weeks after that.

Steve then walked around at the streets and sat at a restaurant near Stark Tower, sketching the buildings as Beth the waitress arrived.

"You're nice at sketching." Peter said.

"Thank you." Steve said gratefully.

"Art teacher would be a better job at school for you than the discipline videos." Aunt May said and everyone chuckled.

She asked if he was waiting to see Iron Man as many people did.

"Still do." Tony said and everyone chuckled.

Steve said another time and she said table was his as long as he liked. She walked off, looking back at him with a smile as an old man eating nearby said, "Ask for her number, you moron!"

"Oh my God! I didn't even remember that!" Steve said with wide eyes as everyone looked in amusement that the old man had appeared and talked to Steve.

"Well, you saw him for like a second." Natasha said.

"Good point." Steve shrugged.

"He appears in this one twice." Benjamin said.

Steve sat in a monorail train, looking back as the train kept running forward. Steve then arrived at the gym and took a key to his locker before he started pounding on the punching bag.

"Starting where we left off with you, huh." Tony said.

"Yes, seemed like the best place to start." Logan said.

Steve hit the bag, remembering his time with the Howling Commandos, the final fight against Hydra, Red Skull holding the Teserract, saying he needed to put the plane in the water, Peggy's voice, crashing the Valkyrie and being thawed out. With that, he hit the bag so hard it fell down.

"Damn! What a frustrated side!" Tony said with wide eyes.

Steve picked up another bag and started hitting when Fury's voice asked, "Trouble sleeping?" Steve turned to see Fury standing and said, "I slept for 70 years, sir. I think I've had my fill." Fury said he should be celebrating and Steve, untying the cloth around his hands, said when he had gone under, the world was at war. When he was out, they said they had won but no one talked about what they had lost.

"No. No one does." Wanda sighed.

Fury said they had made mistakes, some very recently. "You here with a mission, sir?" Steve asked. "Yes." Fury said. "Trying to get me back into the world." Steve asked. "Trying to save it." Fury said as he handed Steve a file and he read about the Teserract, Hydra's secret weapon. Fury said Howard had fished it out when he had searched for Steve and they believed it could be the key to unsustainable energy.

"Or weapons!" Steve said and Fury sighed.

Steve asked who had taken it and Fury said it was Loki and he wasn't from around here.

"No I am not." Loki smirked.

Fury said they needed to bring him up to speed on a lot of stuff and the world had gotten even stranger than he knew. Steve said nothing could surprise him now and Fury bet him 10 bucks for it.

"And I won." Fury smirked.

"Yeah you did." Steve sighed.

Fury said there was a debriefing package waiting for him. Steve picked up a punching bag and started walking away as Fury asked if he could tell them anything about the Teserract. "You should have left it in the ocean." Steve said as he walked out.

"You should have." Steve said.

In the water, Tony Stark, in his Iron Man Mark VI Armor was shown disconnecting Stark Tower from the water grids before he flew out.

"And I'm in!" Tony smirked as everyone shook their heads.

Pepper asked if he had disconnected the power grid and he said he had. Stark Tower was about to become a beacon of self-sustaining clean energy if their reactor took over and worked. Tony asked her to light it up and the Stark Tower lit up. Pepper asked how it looked and he said like Christmas with more him.

"That is a Tony Stark thing to say." Rhodes said and Tony smirked.

"That thing worked very nicely." Pepper smiled.

"Yup." Tony agreed.

Pepper said he needed to do press and she would be in D.C. the next day but Tony asked her to enjoy the moment and she said she would once he came in.

"That is sweet." Aunt May smiled.

Tony arrived at the tower as his Suit was being taken off and JARVIS said Agent Coulson was on the line. "I'm not in." Tony said as his Suit was taken off, "I'm actually out."

"Now that is a good pun." Fury said.

"It is." Storm agreed.

"Well, it's me!" Tony smiled.

JARVIS said Coulson insisted and Tony told him to grow a spine.

"You two have grown me a spine now." Vision said as he looked at Tony and Bruce and they shrugged.

"What about me?" Thor asked jokingly.

"Yes, what about me?" Odinson asked.

"They gave me a body. You gave me life." Vision said.

Tony walked in as Pepper said levels were steady and he agreed as he was involved. He asked her how it felt to be a genius as all of this came from her. Pepper disagreed, saying all of this came from the Arc Reactor.

"Give yourself some credit." Tony said.

"How much?" Pepper asked and he sighed.

Tony asked her to give herself some credit, like 12% as she sounded incredulous. He said an argument could be made for 15 as he had done all the heavy lifting and the security snafu was her fault as sweaty workmen were teeming up in their elevator.

"What was that about?" Rhodes asked.

"Don't ask." Tony and Pepper said simultaneously.

As the two poured the wine and clicked the glasses, Tony asked if he was going to pay for that comment in a subtle way later and she said it won't be so subtle.

"Nope." Tony said and Pepper smiled as everyone chuckled.

Tony said the next building would say 'Potts' on the tower but she wanted it to be on the lease as Jarvis said his protocols were being overridden and Coulson appeared on the phone. Tony joked he had reached a life-model decoy of Stark and could leave a message. Coulson said it was urgent so Tony asked him to leave it urgently when Coulson walked in.

"Life-model decoy? Ironic." Daisy said.

"What? They exist?" Tony asked.

"You have no idea." Bobbi said.

Pepper called him Phil and Tony joked his first name was 'Agent.'

"Very funny." Bobbi said dryly.

Coulson held up a SHIELD device as Tony said he didn't like to be handed things.

"Why?" Benjamin asked.

"It's a pet peeve!" Tony said, "How hard is that to grasp?"

Pepper said she loved to be handed things so they could trade. She gave Coulson her drink and took the device before giving it to Tony and taking his drink.

"Now that was good." Rhodes said as everyone chuckled.

Tony said consulting hours were between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. every other Thursday but he said it wasn't a consultation. Pepper asked if it was about the Avengers which she knew nothing about. Tony said it had been scrapped and he hadn't even qualified and Pepper said she hadn't know that either.

"Of course you hadn't." Natasha said.

Tony said he was too volatile and self-obsessed and didn't play well with others and Pepper said she did know that.

"Of course you would." Sam smiled.

Phil said it wasn't about personality profiles anymore as Pepper walked up to Tony and said he thought they were having a moment and she said she was having 12% of a moment, making him give her an incredulous look.

"And back at ya!" Scott said.

"You are badass." Hope said to Pepper.

"Thanks." Pepper said.

Pepper said Phil seemed shaken as Tony opened several holograms that showed Steve, Hulk and a lot of stuff as Pepper said he had a lot of homework. Tony said he wouldn't but Pepper corrected when he finished and she would take the jet to D.C. tonight. She then whispered what they would do after he was finished.

"Oh boy! What a motivation!" Rhodes joked as Pepper smacked his arm and everyone chuckled.

Tony and Pepper kissed and then Pepper walked towards Phil, asking if he would drive by the airport by any chance and he said he could drop her and she inquired about the cellist as Tony looked at the holograms and picked up one of the Teserract.

"The cellist." Daisy smiled.

"You know her?" Tony asked.

"I know people who do." She said.

"And now we're about to meet." Bruce said.

"Yup." Logan said.
