INT. BRIDGE, CARRIER - DAY 52
Coulson and Steve are standing in the bridge, just waiting.
AGENT JASPER SITWELL is in the b.g. running the face trace
.AGENT COULSON I mean, if it's not too much trouble.
STEVE No-no, it's fine.
The people who understood that they were talking about the trading cards laughed, while all the Avengers had sad looks on their faces.
AGENT COULSON It's a vintage set. Took me a couple of years to collect the mall. Near mint, slight foxing around the edges but
AGENT JASPER SITWELL We got a hit. Sixty seven percent match. Wait- cross-match, seventy-nine percent.
AGENT COULSON Location?
AGENT JASPER SITWELL Stuttgart, Germany. Twenty eight, Königstraße. He's not exactly hiding.
"He must not be a very good villain, if he wasn't hiding." Lucius said in a degrading tone.
"Well what is the point in hiding if you want to be found." Thor said in a sharp tone it was clear that he didn't like the way the man spoke about Loki, villian or not he was his brother.
FURY Captain, you're up. Steve nods and walks off.

LOKI Kneel before me. I said- KNEEL! -The people hurry, dropping to their knees.(walking through the mob)- Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It's the unspoken truth of humanity, that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end- you will always kneel.
"Well that was rude." Ginny Weasely said
A German old man gets to his feet.
GERMAN OLD MAN Not to men like you.
LOKI There are no men like me.
GERMAN OLD MAN There are always men like you.
"I agree with the old man."
LOKI Look to your elder, people. Let him be an example.
Loki fires his scepter but Captain America jumps in front of the man -- deflecting the beam off his shield causing it to hit Loki, who falls to the ground.
CAPTAIN AMERICA You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing.
LOKI The soldier Loki rises to his feet.-the man out of time.
(CONTINUED)CONTINUED: (2) 43.
CAPTAIN AMERICA I'm not the one who's out of time.
The quinjet comes in behind Cap with the Black widows inside. A gun unfolds from the underside of the plane.
NATASHA(over speaker)Loki, drop the weapon and standdown.
Loki fires at the jet and it banks hard to avoid it. Cap attacks Loki and the two fight. Loki knocks Cap's shield to the side and forces him down with his scepter.
LOKI Kneel!
CAPTAIN AMERICA Not today. Cap jumps up and does a spin-kick to Loki's face. The two continue to fight.
63 INT. COCKPIT, QUINJET - CONTINUOUS (NIGHT) 63
Natasha, in her Black Widow suit, is trying to figure out how to take a shot.
NATASHA(to Anya and Ivanna)Guy's all over the place.
The 2 girls laughed
TONY(over earpiece)Agent Romanoff's, you miss me?
The computer screen shows the message 'PA SYSTEMS OVERRIDE', and AC/DC's, 'Shoot to Thrill' begins to play. Natasha smiles heavily While Ivanna burst out laughing Anya was trying to hide her smile. Iron Man flies down and fires a repulsor blast, knocking Loki down.
IRON MAN Make a move reindeer games.
Loki's Asgardian garb fades away and he raises his hands. Good move. Cap walks over to Iron Man. The quinjet begins to land in the b.g.
(CONTINUED)CONTINUED: (2) 44.

Some of the wizards looked suspicious it seemed a bit too easy
FURY(over quinjet radio)He saying anything?
NATASHA(into headset)Not a word.
FURY(over quinjet radio)Just get him here, we're low ontime.
66 INT. QUINJET - CONTINUOUS 66
STEVEI don't like it.
TONY What? Rock of Ages giving up so easily?
STEVE I don't remember it being that easy. This guy packs a wallop.
TONY Still, you were pretty spry, for an older fellow. What's your thing? Pilates?
STEVE What?
(CONTINUED)CONTINUED: (2) 45.
TONY It's like calisthenics. You might have missed a couple of things. Y'know, doing time as a Cap-sicle.
STEVE Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in.
TONY Yeah, there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you.
There's a flash of lightening and a roar of thunder.
NATASHA Where's this come from?
Loki leans forward, looking around.
STEVE(to Loki)What's the matter? Scared of a little lightening?
LOKI I'm not overly fond of what follows. Loki looks to the sky.
Anya looked like she realized something.
ANYA oh shit
"What's wrong?" Asked a confused third year.
"You are about to find out kid."
