[The Secretary of State, Thaddeus Ross, is standing at the head of a table. Rhodey, Natasha, Steve, Tony, Sam, Vision, and Wanda, and Evelyn are gathered around.]

[The Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross has summoned the Avengers to a meeting]

Secretary Ross: Five years ago, I had a heart attack. I dropped right in the middle of my back-swing. Turned out it was the best round of my life, because after 13 hours of surgery and a triple bypass...I found something 40 years in the Army had never taught me: Perspective. The world owes the Avengers an un-payable debt. You have fought for us, protected us, risked your lives...but while a great many people see you as heroes, there are some...who would prefer the word "vigilantes".

"What are those?" Someone asked. No one gave a response because they was getting tired of explaining what does things mean when it's in the movie.

Natasha Romanoff: And what word would you use, Mr. Secretary?

Secretary Ross: How about "dangerous"? What would you call a group of US-based, enhanced individuals who routinely ignore sovereign borders and inflict their will wherever they choose and who, frankly, seem unconcerned about what they leave behind?

[Ross activates a screen behind him. News footage from past Avengers and SHIELD matters flash on the screen as he speaks.]

Secretary Ross: New York.

[A Chitauri leviathan. Terrified citizens. A soldier firing a gun. The Hulk smashes into a building and sends a dust cloud to engulf the camera.]

Bruce looks down in shame as Natasha gently rub his back.

[Rhodey looks regretful. He glances behind him at Natasha.]

Secretary Ross: Washington DC.

[The three Insight helicarriers, firing on each other. The destroyed Triskelion. A helicarrier crashing into the Potomac and throwing up a massive wave, engulfing citizens and the camera.]

[Sam looks down.]

Secretary Ross: Sokovia.

[Terrified citizens, running. The city rising. A building falling over.]

[Wanda stares at the screen, as does Tony.]

Secretary Ross: Lagos.

[The burning building. Paramedics moving a body. A dead girl.]

[Wanda and Evelyn is particularly affected by the footage from Lagos. Steve sees this and intervenes.]

"Jesus I think you guys aren't cut out from being heroes" Harry said. "Okay glasses boy first if it wasn't for us half of everyone we save would have been dead. Second if we wasn't saving no one from their selflessness then everyone we saved in cities and counties would be dead." Steve said thinking he put Harry in his place.

"But you are making it worst old school boy" Harry said as Steve just didn't say nothing back.

Steve Rogers: Okay. That's enough.

[Secretary Ross nods to an aide and the images disappear.]

Secretary Ross: For the past four years, you've operated with unlimited power and no supervision. That's an arrangement the governments of the world can no longer tolerate. But I think we have a solution.

[he places a thick document on the desk and passes it to Wanda]

[An aide hands him a thick book, which Ross slides across the table to Wanda. She picks it up, then slides it to Rhodey.]
