Steve watches until the monitor goes black. Thor, who didn't even look, just listened, stands there, torn apart. They all just stand there in silence.

Bruce: He really grows on you, doesn't he?

Steve: Loki's gonna drag this out. So, Thor, what's his play?

Thor: He has an army called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard or any known world. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the earth. In return, I suspect, for the Tesseract.

"Like from space??"

Steve: An army? From outer space?

Bruce: So he's building another portal. That's what he needs Erik Selvig for.

Thor: Selvig?

Bruce: He's an astrophysicist.

Thor: He's a friend.

Natasha: Loki has him under some kind of spell, along with one of ours.

Steve: I wanna know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here.

"He wanted us to take him" Tony says.

Bruce: I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats, you could smell crazy on him.

Thor: Have care how you speak. Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard, and he's my brother.

Natasha: He killed eighty people in two days.

"Eighty people??!!"

Thor: He's adopted.

"That doesn't help" 

Bruce: Iridium, what did they need the Iridium for?

Tony: It's a stabilizing agent. (to Coulson)I'll fly you there. Keep the love alive. Means the portal won't collapse on itself, like it did at SHIELD. (to Thor)No hard feelings, Point Break. You've got a mean swing.

(to the team) Also means the portal can open as wide, and stay open as long as Loki wants. (to the crew) Uh, raise the mid-mast, ship the top sails. That man is playing GALAGA! Thought we wouldn't notice. But we did. (covering his eye, looks around) How does Fury do this?

Hill: He turns.

Tony looks around the monitors and places a button size hacking implant under Fury's desk. 

"What's that?" Harry asks. 

"You'll see" Tony says. 

Tony: sounds exhausting. The rest of the raw materials, Agent Barton can get his hands on pretty easily. Only major component he still needs is a power source. A high energy density, something to kick start the cube.

Hill: When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?

Tony: Last night. The packet, Selvig's notes, the Extraction Theory papers. Am I the only one who did the reading?

"Looks like it, Mr.Stark" Peter giggled. 

Steve: Does Loki need any particular kind of power source?

Bruce: He's got to heat the cube to a hundred and twenty million Kelvin just to break through the Coulomb barrier.

Tony: Unless, Selvig has figured out how to stabilize the quantum tunneling effect.

Bruce: Well, if he could do that he could achieve Heavy Ion Fusion at any reactor on the planet.

"Huh?"

"What just happened" 

"Was that in English?"

Tony: Finally, someone who speaks English.

Steve: Is that what just happened?

Tony and Banner shake hands.

Tony: It's good to meet you, Dr. Banner. Your work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster.

Bruce: Thanks.

Fury (walking in): Dr. Banner is only here to track the cube. I was hoping you might join him.

Steve: Let's start with that stick of his. It may be magical, but it works an awful lot like a HYDRA weapon.

Fury: I don't know about that, but it is powered by the cube. And I'd like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys.

Thor: Monkeys? I do not understand.

Steve: I do! I understood that reference.

Tony rolls his eyes, while Steve looks proud of himself.

"I understood that as well!" 

"See! Finally someone who understands!" Steve says happily and everyone looks at him and he blushes. 

"Calm down Capsicle, making yourself look like an idiot makes us all look like one" Tony says. 

Tony: Shall we play, doctor?

As Bruce and Tony walk out, the GALAGA player turns ever so discreetly, watches as everyone else disperses and goes back to playing.

"The audacity" Clint and Nat say.
