Chapter one
Out in the NEW MEXICO desert, a remote research facility is in a state of panic as an evacuation is happening.
A SWOOPING helicopter flies in. Men in suits run around like in the typical `we have to leave' fashion.
Soldiers on foot jump onto Humvees, accelerating the hell out of there.
Standing a few yards from the landing pad, is SHIELD AGENT PHIL COULSON.
Watching as SHIELD AGENT MARIA HILL walks out the helicopter, Following after her is SHIELD DIRECTOR NICK FURY
“How bad is it?” Nick states.
“That's the problem, sir. We don't know.” Phill says.
Agent Coulson then leads Hill and Fury through the radiation section of the facility. Hundreds of technicians and other.
staff run around, taking only the essentials with them.
“Dr. Selvig read an energy surge from the Tesseract four hours ago” Phill says.
“NASA didn't authorize Selvig to test phase” Said Nick.
“He wasn't testing it, he wasn't even in the room. Spontaneous advancement.” Phill says.
“It just turned itself on?” Hill states.
“What are the energy levels now?” Nick says.
“Climbing. When Selvig couldn't shut it down, we ordered the evacuation.” Phill says.
“How long to get everyone out?” Nick said.
“Campus should be clear in the next half hour.” Phill states.
“Do better.” Nick said.
As they head further down the radiation facility floor.
“Sir, evacuation may be futile.” Hill says.
“We should tell them to go back to sleep?” Nick says.
“If we can't control the Tesseract's energy, there may not be a minimum safe distance.” Hill states.
“I need you to make sure that PHASE 2 prototypes are shipped out.” Nick says.
“Sir, is that really a priority right now?” She says.
“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on. Clear out the tech below. Every piece of PHASE 2 on a truck and gone.” Fury states.
“Yes, sir. With me.” Hill says to the other agents around her.
Fury enters the lab facility where the Tesseract is being held by a COMPACT MUON SOLENOID COIL CHAMBER.
“Talk to me, doctor.” Nick says.
DR. ERIK SELVIG emerges from behind the CMS machine, concerned.
The Tesseract is glowing unusually brighter and flare rings shoot out at random.
“Director.” Erik says.
“Is there anything we know for certain?” Nick says.
“Tesseract is misbehaving.” Erik says.
“Is that supposed to be funny?” Nick says.
“No, it's not funny at all. The Tesseract is not only active, she's...misbehaving. How soon until you pull the plug?” Nick says.
“She's an energy source. If we turn off the power, she turns it back on. If she reaches peak level... Erik says. We've prepared for this, doctor. Harnessing energy from space.” Nick says.
“We don't have the harness. Our calculations are far from complete. Now she's throwing off interference, radiation. Nothing harmful, low levels
of gamma radiation.” Erik says.
“That can be harmful. Where's Barton?” Nick says
“The Hawk? Up in his nest, as usual.” Erik says
We see CLINT BARTON, dressed in black tactical gear, is up on the railings watching them below,
Fury calls Barton on his earpiece.
“Agent Barton, report.” Nick says.
BARTON rappels down from the catwalk. Walks up to Fury. They both walk around the facility in a discreet manner.
“I gave you this detail so you could keep a close eye on things.” Nick says.
“Well, I see better from a distance.” Clint says.
“Are you seeing anything that might set this thing off?” Nick says
A NASA SCIENTIST call out to Erik about the tesseract spiking again.
“No one's come or gone. It's oven is clean. No contacts, no I.M.'s. If there was any tampering, sir, it wasn't at this end.” Clint says.
“At this end?” Nick says.
“Yeah, the cube is a doorway to the other end of space, right? The doors open from both sides.” Clint says.
DR. SELVIG clacks away at the keyboard and sees on the monitoring his worst nightmares.
Suddenly- the Tesseract THUNDERS and SHAKES the entire facility. Big enough where both Agents Hill and
Coulson can feel and they're at different ends of the facility. The flaring rings and glow of the cube spout out brighter and louder, like a boiling pot of water. The Tesseract's energy builds up into a BEAM much like the
Bifrost Bridge, which HITS at the end of a platform that is wired to the CMS device.
The great maelstrom beam FIRES the TESSERACT energy. The beam then forms a VORTEX, which then opens up a PORTAL. A BLACK HOLE IS CREATED. From the portal, the blackness of SPACE, beautiful and mysterious, strewn with a billion stars appears and a GUST of BLUE ENERGY CLOUDS fill the room, blinding everyone. The Tesseract's energy forms into a cloud that reaches to the top the facility's vacuum chamber ceiling. It's abnormally quiet. Then... HEAVY BREATHING is heard from the platform. SHIELD GUARDS slowly. approach, weapons in hands. A figure is kneeling on the platform, smoke coming off it. It's LOKI Smiling. in his mischievous manner, he raises his head. The smile dies down. He looks deep into the eyes of Fury, Barton and Selvig. He stands up, holing the scepter.
“Sir, please put down the spear!” Nick says.
Loki looks at his spear then suddenly points it at where Fury and Barton are standing and
SHOOTS OUT A BLUE EXPLODING LIGHT TOWARDS THEM. BARTON TACKLES Fury and they both barely miss Loki's fired shot. ALL HELL BREAKS. Machine gun fire is shot at Loki, but the bullets bounce off him like a boss. Loki jumps high from the platform and ATTACKS those firing at him. In the blink of an eye, Loki takes down several guards. with his KNIVES and ENERGY BLASTS from the scepter. He stops and waits to see who will attack him next. Honestly, the whole lab has almost gone to shit. Barton tries to stand up. Loki quickly walks towards him. Barton raises his gun, but Loki grabs Barton's hand.
“You have heart.” Loki states
Loki points the head of his spear at Barton's head. Barton's eyes suddenly glow BLACK.
The ability to control Barton's mind is now in Loki's hand. Barton puts his piece away and stands straight.
As Loki is busy using his abilities to control the minds of several S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel, Fury takes the Tesseract, placing it back
into its case and tries to leave the lab.Then...
“Please don't. I still need that.” Loki says.
“This doesn't have to get any messier.” Nick says.
“Of course it does. I've come too far for anything else. I am Loki of Asgard, and I am burdened with glorious purpose.” Loki says.
“Loki? Brother of Thor?” Erik says.
“We have no quarrel with your people.” Nick says.
“An ant has no quarrel with a boot.” Loki says.
“You planning to step on us? Nick says
I come with glad tidings, of a world made free.” Loki says.
“Free from what?” Nick says.
“Freedom. Freedom is life's great lie. Once you accept that, in your heart...” Loki says.
Like a gunslinger, Loki turns to face Selvig who's standing behind him and places his spear
against Selvig's heart. Selvig's eyes glow BLACK.
“You will know peace.” Loki says.
“Yeah, you say peace, I kind of think you mean the other thing.” Nick says.
From the vacuum chamber ceiling, Tesseract's energy cloud RAPIDLY builds into what may be an implosion.
“Sir, Director Fury is stalling. This place is about to blow. Drop a hundred feet of rock on us. He means to bury us.” Clint says.
“Like The Pharaohs of Odin.” Nick says.
“He's right. The portal is collapsing in on itself. You got maybe two minutes before this goes critical.” Erik says.
“Well, then...” Loki says
Loki, looking at Barton, who doesn't even hesitate, SHOOTS FURY WHO FALLS TO THE GROUND.
Barton grabs the case containing the Tesseract and leaves the lab with Loki, Selvig and the other agents br />
Loki is controlling.
Loki, Barton, Selvig and the other agents are in the parking lot of the facility, quickly gathering
certain weapons. Agent Hill watches in confusion.
“Need these vehicles.” Clint says.
“Who's that?” She says.
“He didn't tell me.” Clint says.
Agent Hill looks suspiciously at them as they get into the truck and turns to leave, as she's walking away...
“Hill, do you copy?!” Nick said through the walkie talkie
Loki and Barton SHARPLY look at Agent Hill.
Fury is sitting up, pulling out the bullet, breathing heavily.
“Barton is...” nick says
Suddenly, Hill turns to SHOOT AT BARTON, but Barton is already
POINTING HIS GUN at her and starts SHOOTING, he moves the
driver's seat of the truck and DRIVES OFF as Hill keeps shooting.
Fury is holding his side, running.
“ He's got the Tesseract! Track it down! The energy is really brewing a fucking shit storm from the vacuum chamber ceiling. “Nick says.
Agent Hill SLIPS into a JEEP and follows after Barton's
truck. Loki's trucks SCREECH across the tunnel. Several SHIELD
trucks pull up to them. A drive-by shooting ensues.
Loki, who stands on top of the bed of the truck, uses his
scepter and EMITS energy blasts, flipping over SHIELD trucks.
They get in, the cars roar out after them. Agent Hill puts
herself at a distance.
Fury races out of the hallway, avoiding falling pipes. The
entire facility is now in a full earthquake.
Agent Coulson and several SHIELD agents fall down the steps,
dropping SILVER CASES of information. They attempt to grab them, but...
“No! Leave it!” Phill says
They run out of there like a bat from hell.
Agent Hill's JEEP ROARS out of a side of Barton's truck and pulls up alongside them on the left.
She goes way ahead and pulls her brake, swerving into a 360, facing Barton's truck and driving in reverse. Barton's ARMS reach out the open window and OPENS FIRE. Agent Hill figures `fuck it' and SHOOTS
her windshield OPENING FIRE on Barton.
Agent Coulson jumps into a SHIELD VAN. On his walkie:
“You're clear, sir! You need to go!” Phill says
Fury BOLTS out of the facility and jumps into a helicopter. The surface of the pad gives way,
PLUNGING the helicopter through the surface. But Fury's chopper BARELY makes it out.
Still in a chase and drive-by sequence, Barton's pushes the pedal harder, which causes
Agent Hill's JEEP to WOBBLE out and put her back behind.
The Tesseract's energy cloud now SHRINKS into a SMALL BALL OF WHITE LIGHT. Then...
A CLOUD OF BLUE LIGHT CONSUMES THE ENTIRE FACILITY AND PARTS OF THE DESERT. Fury
watches from below, a RAPID build-up into what may be an implosion. Several miles away, Agent Coulson's van feels a
JOLT of the Tesseract's BLAST-WAVE. THE ENTIRE FACILITY SWALLOWS INTO ITSELF-- A TERRIFYING, UNIMAGINABLE IMPLOSION.
The BLAST-WAVE of the Tesseract causes the tunnel to cave it. Like an ocean wave, blinding
crumbles of falling rock, fall onto Agent Hill's JEEP, leaving her NEARLY trapped under this blanket of rock.
On the Barton's truck, they escape the tunnel and drive into the desert landscape. Fury's helicopter ROARS over Barton's
truck. Loki looks up. From the chopper's door, it slides open and Fury stands there, holding a gun, SHOOTING at Barton's.
Loki looks at Fury and in a fit of RAGE, points his scepter SHOOTS OUT THE BLUE LIGHT.
The chopper CATCHES on fire, GOING DOWN in a FIERY BALL. Fury, like the boss he is, JUMPS OUT and touches
down onto the desert floor. The chopper BARRELS along the ground. Fury, coming back to his senses, FIRES at Loki, but they're
Too far and too late. Loki looks back, smiling. Fury stands there.
