EXT. AVENGERS COMPOUND, RIVER - DAWN
SMART HULK, eyes red, stands beside a bench on the dock.
Behind him, STEVE, TONY, THOR, AND CLINT STARE OUT, GRIEVING.
TONY
Do we know if she had family?
STEVE
Yeah. Us.
Thor turns, thrown.
THOR
Why are you doing that?
TONY
I’m just asking a question-�
THOR
Why are we talking as if she’s
dead? We have the stones. Bring
her back. C’mon, stop this shit.
Clint squeezes away tears.
CLINT BARTON
We can’t get her back.
THOR
What’s he talking about? Of
course, we can.
CLINT BARTON
It can’t be undone. That’s why.
THOR
No offense, but you’re...a very
earthly being. We’re talking aboutspace magic, here. “Can’t” seems alittle definitive, don’t you think?
CLINT BARTON
Well, I know I’m a little outsidemy pay grade here, but, she stillisn’t here, is she?
THOR
That’s my point.
CLINT BARTON
It can’t be undone. At least
that’s what the red, floating guysaid. But why don’t you go talk tohim, okay? Why don’t you grab yourhammer and fly to that place andtalk to him.
IT CAN’T BE UNDONE.
(beat)
It was supposed to be me. She sacrificed her life for that goddamn stone. She bet her life onit.
That lands heavily on all of them. A moment passes.
THEN SMART HULK HURLS THE BENCH INTO THE WATER. It skipsacross the surface like a stone.
SMART HULK
She’s not coming back. We have tomake it worth it. We have to.�
STEVE
We will.
PULL BACK, LEAVING OUR MOURNERS IN TABLEAU...
INT. AVENGERS COMPOUND, WORKSHOP - DAY
ALL SIX INFINITY STONES rest behind safety glass. SOON, ROBOTIC ARMS ENTER FRAME, PLUCKING UP THE POWER STONE.
TONY operates the arms as ROCKET and SMART HULK watch.
The robot arms swing the stone over to...A NEW IRON MAN GAUNTLET. NANO-TECH SHIFTS AND SLIDES, HOLDING IT IN PLACE.
Smart Hulk releases a deep breath.
TIME CUT:
THE COMPLETED GAUNTLET sits in a cradle, SIX INFINITY STONESEMBEDDED IN THE BACK. Pull back to find...SCOTT, THOR, CLINT, RHODEY, and STEVE watching TONY AND ROCKET FINE TUNE THE GLOVE.
ROCKET
All right. The glove’s ready. Question is, who’s gonna snap theirfreaking fingers?.
Everyone stares a beat. Then, THOR REACHES FOR THE GAUNTLET.
THOR
I’ll do it.
TONY
Whoa, whoa, what are you doing.
STEVE
Thor, we haven’t decided who’sputting that on.
THOR
Oh. Were all of you just waiting
for the right opportunity?
ROCKET
Maybe I was getting around to it.
SCOTT LANG
We should at least discuss it-�
THOR
Staring at the thing isn’t going tobring everybody back, is it? Look,I’m the strongest Avenger. It’s myresponsibility. Fate wills it so.
