"And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth's mightiest heroes and heroines found themselves united against a common threat. On that day, the Avengers were born--to fight the foes no single superhero could withstand! Through the years, their roster has prospered, changing many times, but their glory has never been denied! Heed the call, then--for now, the Avengers Assemble!"

 CUT TO: EXT. THRONE ROOM, SPACE � NIGHT 

 Kneeling behind a THRONE, a CLOTHED, ARMORED FIGURE known as THE OTHER, bows.

The Avengers share a look between one another.

 CUT TO:

THE OTHER faces a HORNED SHAPED SHADOW. LOKI. Loki is handed the CHITAURI SCEPTER, a long golden handle, fitted with a blue gem encircled with silver blades. 

 THE OTHER (V.O.) But our ally knows its workings as they never will. He is ready to lead. And our force, our Chitauri, will follow. HIGH WIDE ON: TENS OF THOUSANDS of CHITAURI stand ready in a seething mass of neat rows and columns....the ground simply 

 QUAKES. THE OTHER (V.O.) The world will be his. The universe yours. And the humans, what can they do but burn? 

"Like hell will we burn," Tony scoffs, as Natasha rolls her eyes.

 "Has this already happened?" James asks.

"Yeah" Nat  responds while, glaring at the screen. "This was three years ago."

"How did we not know about this?" Hermione asks in a know it all tone.

"You pay no attention to the rest of the world. Things are happening and changing. You'll be the last to know if the world is ending. Not all threats to society come from the Wizarding world." Explained Thor in an clam voice

Walking out of the helicopter is SHIELD AGENT MARIA HILL, SEXY, FIERCE AND DETERMINED. Following her, SHIELD DIRECTOR NICK FURY climbs out. Hill and Fury approach Agent Coulson. 

 NICK FURY How bad is it? 

 AGENT PHIL COULSON That's the problem, sir. We don't know.
