Scene 1

One Month Ago...

A man named Baron Zemo sits by his desk, working on his laptop. He is trying to figure out how to remove a mask that was permanently stuck on by Captain America, back when Zemo was working with Hydra. Zemo has been trying to find a cure ever since that day. As he looks down at the daily newspaper, his eyes widen. The picture on the front cover was one of Captain America himself, with the caption "Captain America is alive!" As Zemo scans the article, his face twists in rage.

Baron Zemo: Alive, Captain America? Not for long!

Scene 2

Present Day...

Steve Rogers is going to work on a punching bag when Tony Stark comes into the room.

Tony: Wow. I'm impressed. You haven't broken all of the dummies.

Steve: Yeah, well I'm getting close. You'll need to ship more of those in as well.

Tony: I'm going to make something that's a challenge even for you.

Steve: Good luck with that.

Tony: When we came and got you to fight Loki, how long had you been awake.

Steve: Three days.

Tony: Geez. I'm surprised you felt up to it.

Steve: I'd been sleeping for years, so I was ready for some activities.

Tony: What do you miss most? About your old life.

Steve: Things here are great, so probably my friends.

Tony: Yeah, that must have been tough. Waking up being the same age and looking at your friends as elders.

Steve: Yeah. I go and see my old girlfriend every now and then, but I really miss Bucky.

Tony: Bucky?

Steve: Yeah, he was my best friend.

Tony: Is he not around anymore?

Steve: He died. In a plane that I jumped out of. I jumped right before it exploded. And I watched it drop out of the sky, with Bucky on it. Then I fell into the ice, and next thing I know, here I am.

Tony: Oh, dang. I had no idea...

Steve: It's fine, but if there is anything left of Nazis or Hydra, I will destroy them.

Tony nods as a Code Red alarm goes off. Tony and Steve head into the control center, followed by Scott and Thor. Tony glances at the computer.

Tony: Okay, there's a guy that calls himself the Black Knight flying over New York and spreading chemicals all over the place. Anyone know this guy?

Scott: Yeah, I know him. He's bad news.

Tony: Okay, let's get the whole team out there.

Steve: Gotcha. Avengers Assemble!

Tony: Oh, dear.

Scene 2

The team circles Black Knight, forcing him to pause his strange hobby of spreading dangerous chemicals.

Iron Man: Black Knight! You're outnumbered!

A voice: Is he, Iron Man?

Iron Man turns around to see who is talking.
