INT- FAST FOOD PLACE- DAY

[The first thing we see is a fast food server standing at a till, smiling.]

Server: Hi, can I take your order?

[The camera cuts to show who they're talking to- it's Kletus Cassidy.]

Kletus: Uh, yeah. Can I get a... Uuuuhh, fuckin... can I get a milkshake?
Server: Sure, what flavour?
Kletus: Uhm, chocolate.
Server: Anything else?
Kletus: No, no thank you.
Server: Okay. That'll be $2.99.
Kletus: (muttering) Jesus fucking Christ.

[Kletus hands over the money.]

Kletus: Oh, you wouldn't happen to know where the... SHIELD headquarters is? I'm supposed to... meet someone there.
Server: Oh yeah, it's just a left, another left and then you keep going forward until you need to take a right. Then it's on the right.
Kletus: Thank you.
Server: You're welcome.

EXT- STREET CORNER- CONT.

[Kletus takes a sip of his drink. He then reaches into his pocket and pulls out Hawkeye's phone, he holds it out vlog style and then hits record.]

Kletus: Hi West Coast Avengers! How are you? I'm here in sunny San Fran, and I'm feeling pretty good. I hope Clint's okay with me using his phone- not like he can tell me not to. I've seen the sights, the Golden Gate bridge really is a bridge. But now I'm just about to go to my favourite place in the glorious city.

[Kletus turns around 180° to reveal that he's standing in front of SHIELD HQ.]

Kletus: See y'all soon.

[He ends the video.]

Kletus: They're so fucked.

INT- WCA HQ- LATER.
(PANIC ROOM)

Leapfrog: We're so fucked.
Ultra: It was cool when I said it, but you are making it severally less cool.

[All of the WCA, excluding Gamecock, are hiding in a rather small concrete room. There is barely enough room for all of them.]

Speedball: Did we all have to be in here?
S.G.2: It's not like we have another panic room.
S.G: Yeah, and it's built for panic, not for comfort.
Speedball: I mean, couldn't we have left Needle outside?

[Needle slowly turns to Speedball, judging him silently, as always.]

Husk: Why would we leave Needle?
Speedball: He doesn't do anything, all he has is a pointy stick!
Husk: And if you keep talking about him like that you'll probably find the pointy stick in your skull.
Speedball: Why would it be in my skull?
Ultra: Cause that's where your brain is, fucking dumbass.
Speedball: Well, I'm sorry that I'm not a genius on bodies like the rest of you.
Orb: It is basic knowledge that nearly everyone knows.
Speedball: Aha! Nearly everyone! That's not everyone!
Orb: 99.98% of people who don't know the brain is in the skull are children aged zero to three.
Husk: (to Speedball) There's no way that's a real statistic, but still, you're fucking stupid.

[Speedball looks angry, but is trying to hide it. Everyone sits, or stands, in silence.]

Speedball: I'm bored.
Ultra: We're all bored.
Speedball: Honestly, I'd rather be out there.
Ultra: Go on, then.
Speedball: Yeah, I'm gonna.

[He doesn't move.]

Husk: Well?
Speedball: I'm scared.

[Everyone sighs.]

S.G2: I mean, it's probably best that you stay in here, who knows what's going on out there?
