INT. UNDERGROUND GARAGE, RUINS - DAY

THE UNDERGROUND GARAGE LIES HALF-COLLAPSED.

SMART HULK GRITS HIS TEETH, HOLDING UP THE CEILING WITH ONE GOOD ARM, HIS OTHER ARM BURNED AND LIFELESS. BELOW...

RHODEY LIES IN THE RUBBLE, WAR MACHINE SUIT SPARKING.

RHODEY
Canopy! Canopy!

Rhodey’s suit RATCHETS OPEN. HE HAULS HIMSELF FREE to
see...ROCKET TRAPPED UNDER RUBBLE. AS HE CRAWLS TO HIM...THE CEILING RUMBLES.

SMART HULK WAVERS, MUSCLES QUIVERING.

RHODEY (INTO COM) (CONT'D)
Mayday! Tony. Cap. Does anybody
hear me?!

HE FINALLY REACHES ROCKET.

Rocket wheezes, in pain.

RHODEY (CONT'D)
Hang on!

RHODEY WEDGES A PIECE OF REBAR INTO THE DEBRIS. HE HEAVES,finally managing to lever it off of Rocket.

THEN...THE CRACKED CEILING GIVES WAY. A MILLION GALLONS OF RIVER WATER RUSH IN.

RHODEY TRIES TO KEEP HIS HEAD ABOVE WATER.

RHODEY (INTO COM) (CONT'D)
Mayday! Mayday! We are taking on water!

Scott groans.

SCOTT LANG
Wait, what...?

ROCKET (OVER COM)
Tell ‘em to... hurry... asses up.

RHODEY (OVER COM)

Scott jumps to his feet.

No! Wait, I’m here!

Scott spots WATER TRICKLING THROUGH THE CRACKED FLOOR.

INT. ACCESS TUNNEL - DAY

WATER DRIPS FROM A HOLE IN THE ROOF OF AN ACCESS TUNNEL...ONTO CLINT BARTON, LYING FACEDOWN.

He groans.

He opens his hand to find HIS CELLPHONE: HIS WIFE SMILES ON THE SCREEN. “LAURA, ONE MISSED CALL.” Clint stares, amazed.

He winces, finding he’s been lying atop...THE GAUNTLET.

It’sbashed out of shape, BUT ALL SIX STONES STILL GLEAM.

CLINT BARTON (INTO COM)
Cap? Stark? Anyone?

STATIC. Then, he hears...A SCRAPING SOUND, TALONS ON CEMENT.

He peers down a darkened tunnel, then unshoulders his bow.

HE LOOSES A FLARE ARROW, revealing...DOZENS OF OUTRIDERS SCRABBLING ALONG THE WALLS AND CEILING.

CLINT GRABS THE GAUNTLET AND RUNS. THE CREATURES GIVE CHASE.
