Preventing the Endgame.

Tonys' very well-thought-out plan.

Fifth Chapter.

INT. QUINJET ­ NIGHT

[Natasha watches the skies. THUNDER. Coming out of nowhere. Fury speaks over her headset.]

< Said anything?>asked, Nick.

<Not a word.>answered, Natasha.

<Just get him here. We're low on time.> ordered, Nick.

[With Loki tied up and cuffed to his seat, Tony and Steve watch from a distance, whispering.]

< I don't like it.>said, Steve.

<What? Rock of Ages giving up so easily?>said, Tony

< I don't remember it being ever that easy. This guy packs a wallop.>said, Steve

<Still, you are pretty spry, for an older fellow. What's your thing? Pilates?>said, Tony

<What?>said, Steve

< It's like calisthenics. You might have missed a couple of things, you know, during your time as a sleeping beauty>said, Daisy.

<I don't know how I didn't think of that before. It's just like Sleeping Beauty.> said, Tony.

The footage resumes

[Steve looks at Daisy in confusion as he fails to understand the reference.]

< Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in.>said, Steve.[pointing his speech at Tony]

<Yeah, there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you.>said, Tony.

<I'm not sure Nick tells you everything either.>added, Daisy

<No, he doesn't.>said, Steve bitterly

The Footage resumes.

[THUNDER and LIGHTNING nearly hit the jet, making it shake violently.]

< Where's this coming from?>said, Natasha

[Thunder RUMBLES overhead. Loki stares out the window intently.]

< What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?> said, Steve.

< I'm not overly fond of what follows.>said, Loki

[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 and Tony are left dumbstruck. Tony puts the IRON MAN helmet on.]

< Now there's that guy.>said, Tony.

< Another Asgardian?>said, Natasha.

<Think the guy's friendly?>said, Steve.

<Doesn't matter. If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost.>
