JARVIS Sir, we will lose power before you cut through that shell.
IRON MAN flies up ahead, facing the oncoming monster.
IRON MAN JARVIS. You ever hear the tale of Jonah?
JARVIS I wouldn't consider him a role model.
IRON MAN FLIES TOWARDS THE CHITAURI LEVIATHAN, UNLEASHING EVERY ARSENAL ON THE SUIT. The CHITAURI LEVIATHAN opens its mouth. IRON MAN flies in and BURSTS out the other end, making the CHITAURI LEVIATHAN collapse. IRON MAN rolls down the street. The wind is knocked out of him.

EXT. SPACE
We then see Tony's horror. AN ARMADA. The black sky is filled with what must be ninety ships in a vague cluster. Most of them hang still in the air. Some move swimmingly about. IRON MAN lets go of the missile. It whistles off into the blackness as IRON MAN IDLY falls back down the portal's opening. The missile reaches the MAIN SHIP. The MAIN SHIP IMPLODES, causing the entire ARMADA to burst into a supernova, creating a spectacular heavenly display.
The hall cheers.

Tony looks horrified.
The hall burst out laughing.
"That was the most horrifying part of that day." Tony said glaring at Anya, who was holding back a laugh.
CAPTAIN AMERICA (rolling his eyes and ignoring Anya) We won.
TONY Alright. Hey. Alright. Good job, guys. Let's just not come in tomorrow. Let's just take a day. Have you ever tried shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I wanna try it.

INT. SHIELD ANALYTICAL ROOM - DAY - WEEKS LATER
In TV news montage about THE AVENGERS, we see various reports of what happened. Some people agree that the avengers did good, protecting the city. Others believe it was their cause.
OLD MAN (STAN LEE) Superheroes? In New York? Give me a break!
Anya furrows her brows, "is it just me or does that guy look familiar?"
The avengers all take a closer looks and agrees with Anya.
SENATOR BOYNTON These so called heroes have to be held responsible for the destruction done to the city. This was their fight. Where are they now?
WAITRESS What? That this was somehow their fault? Captain America saved my life. Wherever he is, wherever any of them are, I just wanna say thank you.

The Avengers take Thor and Loki, who is handcuffed and muzzled, to a blocked area. Thor shakes hands with his team and gives Selvig a hug. Tony opens the Tesseract's case. Banner takes it out and places inside a glass tube, held by Thor. Thor gives Loki the other end, who reluctantly takes it. The Asgardians leap into the energy beam. GONE. Then, one-by-one, the group splinters off, strolling into different directions. Banner climbs in with Tony in his sportscar. Steve rides away in his Harley. Natasha and Clint climb into a SHIELD car with Anya and Ivanna. They all part. For now.
INT. SHIELD ANALYTICAL ROOM - DAY
Fury is facing once more members of the WORLD SECURITY COUNCIL.
WORLD SECURITY COUNCIL #3Where are the Avengers?
NICK FURY I'm not currently tracking their whereabouts. I'd say they've earned a leave of absence.
WORLD SECURITY COUNCIL #2 And the Tesseract?
NICK FURY The Tesseract is where it belongs: out of our reach.
WORLD SECURITY COUNCIL #1
That's not your call.
NICK FURY I didn't make it. I just didn't argue with the god that did.
WORLD SECURITY COUNCIL #1 So you let him take it and the war criminal, Loki, who should be answering for his crimes?
NICK FURY Oh, I think he will be.
WORLD SECURITY COUNCIL #1 I don't think you understand what you've started. Letting the Avengers loose on this world. They're dangerous.
NICK FURY They surely are. And the whole world knows it. Every world knows it.
WORLD SECURITY COUNCIL #1 Was that the point of all this? A statement?
NICK FURY A promise.
Fury walks out, towards the bridge.
INT. HELICARRIER BRIDGE - DAY
Fury and Agent Hill walk together, toward the window looking out into the world.
AGENT MARIA HILL Sir, how does it work now? They've gone their separate ways, some pretty extremely far. We get into a situation like this again, what happens then?
NICK FURY They'll come back.
AGENT MARIA HILL You really sure about that?
NICK FURY I am.
AGENT MARIA HILL Why?
NICK FURY Because we'll need them to.

Ivanna smiles "Best shawarma no cap."

Harry leans closer to Hermione to whisper in her ear confused, "No cap?"
Hermione laughs at Harry's confused look. "It is muggle slang."
