*Meanwhile, the Avengers mingle at the party*

James Rhodes: Well, you know, the suit can take the weight, right? So I take the tank, fly it right up to the General's palace, drop it at his feet, I'm like, "Boom! You looking for this?" *Stark and Thor just look at him blankly* "Boom! Are you looking..." Why do I even talk to you guys? Everywhere else that story kills.

Thor: That's the whole story?

James Rhodes: Yeah, it's a War Machine story.

Thor: Well, it's very good then. *he laughs* It's impressive.

James Rhodes: Quality save. So, no Pepper? She's not coming?

Tony Stark: No.

Maria Hill: Hey, what about Jane? Where are the ladies, gentlemen?

Tony Stark: Well, Miss Potts has a company to run.

Thor: Yes, I'm not even sure what country Jane's in. Her work on the convergence has made her the world's foremost astronomer.

Tony Stark: And the company that Pepper runs is the largest tech conglomerate on earth. It's pretty exciting.

Thor: There's even talk of Jane getting a... um, uh... Nobel prize.

Maria Hill: Yeah, they...they must be busy because they'd hate missing you guys getting together. *Maria mock coughs* Testosterone! Oh, excuse me.

James Rhodes: Want a lozenge?

Maria Hill: Um-hmm.

James Rhodes: Let's go. *Maria and Rhodes walks off*

Thor: But Jane's better.

*Cut to Sam and Steve talking, walking up to an overlook*

Sam Wilson: Sounds like a hell of a fight, sorry I missed it.

Steve Rogers: If I had known it was going to be a firefight I absolutely would have called you.

Sam Wilson: No, I'm not actually sorry. I'm just trying to sound tough. I'm very happy chasing cold leads on our missing persons case. Avenging is your world. Your world is crazy.

Steve Rogers: Be it ever so humble.

Sam Wilson: You found a place in Brooklyn yet?

Steve Rogers: I don't think I can afford a place in Brooklyn.

Sam Wilson: Well, home is home, you know?

*Rhodes is telling the same story he told Stark and Thor to a group of people at the party*

James Rhodes: I fly it right up to the General's palace, I drop it at his feet, I'm like, "Boom! You looking for this?" *the group laughs*

*Steve and Thor are talking to an elderly man at the party*

Party Guest: I gotta have some of that!

Thor: Oh, no, no, no. See this, this was aged for a thousand years, in the barrels built from the wreck of Grunhel's fleet, it was not meant for mortal men. *Thor pours the drink into two glasses and hands one to Steve*

Stan Lee: Neither was Omaha Beach, blondie. Stop trying to scare us. Come on.

Thor: Alright. *Thor pours some of the drink into Stan Lee's glass; later Stan, looking extremely drunk is being carried off by two men*

Stan Lee: *singing* Excelsior.
