INT. HELICARRIER BRIDGE � LATER

Fury gathers Tony and Steve back into the briefing room everyone
there has a look as if in a daze. A look of numb shock is shown
on their devastated faces.

NICK FURY
These were in Phil Coulson's jacket.
Guess he never did get you to sign
them.
Fury throws Coulson's CAPTAIN AMERICA TRADING CARDS on the table
towards Steve. Steve picks them up, STAINED WITH BLOOD.

NICK FURY
We're dead in the air up here. Our
communications, location of the cube,
Banner, Thor. I got nothing for you.
Lost my one good eye. Maybe I had that
coming.

(A BEAT)
Yes, we were going to build an arsenal
with the Tesseract. I never put all my
chips on that number though, because I
was playing something even riskier.
There was an idea, Stark knows this,
called THE AVENGERS INITIATIVE. The
idea was to bring together a group of
remarkable people, see if they could
become something more. See if they
could work together when we needed them
to, to fight the battles that we never
could. Phil Coulson died still
believing in that idea, in heroes.
Tony gets up and walks off, not wanting to hear it anymore.

NICK FURY
Well, it's an old fashioned notion.

"It may be old fashioned but it's a good idea. The world needs more heroes." A first year Hufflepuff says. Everyone looks at them and they slouch, but the Avengers look at them with a small smile on each of their faces.

EXT. MEADOW � DAY

Thor walks out far into the meadow. He looks down. MJ�LNIR.

INT. ABANDONED BUILDING � DAY

Banner wakes up, in human form. He looks around and sees he is
IN A PILE OF RUBBLE and looks up at the OPEN CEILING HE CRASHED
IN. AND IS COMPLETELY NAKED. A SECURITY GUARD stands there,
amazed.

SECURITY GUARD
You fell out of the sky.

BANNER

(COMING TO)
Did I hurt anybody?

SECURITY GUARD
There's nobody around here to get hurt.
You did scare the hell out of some
pigeons though.

BANNER
Lucky.

SECURITY GUARD
Or just good aim. You were awake when
you fell.

BANNER
You saw?

SECURITY GUARD
The whole thing, right through the
ceiling. Big and green and buck ass
nude. Here...
He throws Banner a pair of big pants. Banner pulls on his pants.

Most everyone laughed, those who didn't though were thinking that this was no time for something funny to be shown.

SECURITY GUARD
I didn't think those would fit you
until you shrunk down to a regular size
fella.

BANNER
Thank you.
A beat.

SECURITY GUARD
Are you an alien?
