[Inside a SHIELD analytical room, filled with monitors of partially silhouetted people. Fury stands in the middle, frowning. They make up the World Security Council.]
COUNCIL MEMBER 1: This is out of line, Director. You're dealing with forces you can't control.
FURY: You ever been in a war, Councilman? In a firefight? Did you feel an overabundance of control?
COUNCIL MEMBER 1: You saying that this Asgard has declared war on our planet?
"ASGARD WOULD NEVER!" boomed Thor "WE KNOW!" Yelled Ivanna
FURY: Not Asgard, Loki.
COUNCIL MEMBER 2: He can't be working alone. What about the other one? His brother.
FURY: Our intelligence says, Thor is not a hostile. But he's worlds away, we can't depend on him to help. It's up to us.
COUNCIL MEMBER 1: Which is why you should be focusing on phase 2, it was designed for exactly...
"What is it with SHIELD and phase 2??" asked Yelena completely informed because Ivanna told her all about New York "That's what we never found out"
FURY: PHASE 2 isn't ready, our enemy is. We need a response team.
COUNCIL MEMBER 1: The Avengers Initiative was shut down.
FURY: This isn't about The Avengers.
COUNCIL MEMBER 1: We're running the world's greatest covert security network and you're gonna leave the fate of human race to a handful of freaks.
"Excuse you" said Ivanna mock offended and Clint smirked at his wife and ruffled her hair, she looked at him deadpanned but anyone who was observant and knew her could see the smallest hint of a smile
FURY: I'm not leaving anything to anyone. We need a response team. These people maybe isolated, unbalanced even, but I believe with the right push they can be exactly what we need.
COUNCIL MEMBER 2: You believe?
COUNCIL MEMBER 1: War isn't won by sentiment, Director.
FURY: No, it's won by soldiers.
"We are not soldiers" said Tony and Ivanna and Yelena shuddered remembering their time in The Red Room where they were trained to be emotionless soldiers, who were disposable, would be forgotten and not mourned because if you mourned those who died you would join those who died.
[A Brooklyn gym at night. Occupied by one man, beating a punching bag in the gym lights, alone in the floor, lost in the fight. The gym is old, as old as the man inside, Captain America, or Steve Rogers. He beats the bag harder, like physically hurting it will repress the memories.]
[FLASHBACK]
[Hydra base, Captain America is running through a forest, dodging mortar shells, gunfire and Tesseract energy blasts.]
STEVE: [Echoey] There's not enough time! I gotta put her in the water!
[In the present, Steve's punches become harder and more violent.]
[in the flashback, Steve places the compass he has, featuring a picture of Peggy Carter, on the dash as the plane plummets towards the ice.]
[The present, punches become violent and aggressive.]
PEGGY CARTER: [flashback voice] You won't be alone.
[Red Skull picked up the Tesseract, and vanishes.]
[In the present, Steve is breathing the bag with everything he has, destroying it and beating his fists.]
SHIELD SCIENCETIST: [flashback] Oh my god!
[Steve is lying on a table, half frozen, and still partially trapped in a slab of ice. Two SHIELD scientists run equipment over him, checking for his vitals. Something flickers...]
SHIELD SCIENCETIST: This guy is still alive!
"how?" asked Lily rudely "science" said Ivanna
[Present. Steve punched the bag, easily a hundred pounds, across the room with one swing snapping the metal chain and pummeling it back a dozen feet, sand spilling out from where he cracked the fabric. He stands up, breathing hard, and grabs another bag, resuming a more normal routine. Fury walks in.]
FURY: Trouble sleeping?
STEVE: I slept for seventy years, sir. I think I've had my fill.
"woah" said a lot of people in the hall
FURY: Then you should be out, celebrating, seeing the world.
[Steve stops punching and walks over to the bench, unraveling the tape off his hands. He sits down.]
STEVE: I went under, the world was at war, I wake up, they say we won. They didn't say what we lost.
FURY: We've made some mistakes along the way. Some very recently.
STEVE: You here with a mission, sir?
FURY: I am.
STEVE: Trying to get me back in the world?
FURY: Trying to save it. [Fury hands Steve a file on the Tesseract, along with other files on HYDRA'S projects]
STEVE: Hydra's secret weapon.
"what is HYDRA?" "Nazis" "what are Nazi's?" Steve and the avengers looked in disbelief "how can you not know what Nazi's are?" "do you know about WW2?" "what is WW2 mean?" "World War 2" the great hall shook their heads "what kind of school is this?" asked Clint making a mental note not to send his and Ivanna's children here even if they got letters
FURY: Howard Stark fished that out of the ocean when he was looking for you. He thought what we think, the Tesseract could be the key to unlimited sustainable energy. That's something the world sorely needs.
STEVE: Who took it from you?
FURY: He's called Loki. He's not from around here. There's a lot we'll have to bring you up to speed on if you're in. The world has gotten even stranger than you already know.
STEVE: At this point, I doubt anything would surprise me.
FURY: Ten bucks says you're wrong. There's a debriefing package waiting for you back at your apartment.
[Steve turns and picks up a punching bag. Fury starts walking out of the gym.]
FURY: Is there anything you can tell us about the Tesseract that we ought to know now?
STEVE: [Without missing a beat] You should have left it in the ocean.
"well that was blunt" said Tony and Ivanna in sync
