INT. HELICARRIER BRIDGE - DAY
Fury looks the window of the ship, contemplating. Agent Hill walks up to him, knowing.
AGENT MARIA HILL: Sir.
NICK FURY: Agent Hill?
AGENT MARIA HILL: Those cards, they were in Coulson's locker, not in his jacket.
NICK FURY: They needed the push.
He holds Coulson's cards.
A LOUD NOISE SCREECHES. Fury looks out to see IRON MAN flying off as well as the QUINJET.
NICK FURY: They found it. Get our communications back up, whatever you have to do. I want eyes on everything.
AGENT MARIA HILL: Yes, sir.
EXT. NEW YORK CITY SKYLINE - STARK TOWER - DAY
IRON MAN arrives at STARK TOWER where Selvig, ACTIVATES the CMS device, holding the Tesseract.
JARVIS: Sir, I took off the arc reactor. The device is already self-sustained.
TONY: Shut it down, Dr. Selvig.
SELVIG: It's too late! It can't stop now. He wants to show us something! A new universe.
IRON MAN: Okay.
IRON MAN aims his hands toward the CMS and FIRES. The energy from his boosters SHATTERS with a deafening CRACK!
Selvig falls backwards. DOWN BELOW, CITIZENS OF NEW YORK look up at STARK TOWER. IRON MAN stares in disbelief at the CMS ... unharmed.
JARVIS: The barrier is pure energy. It's unbreachable. The Mark VII is not ready to be deployed.
TONY: Skip the spinning rims. We're on the clock.
TONY lands his SUIT and goes through the gauntlet and unsuits him. LOKI looks up at him, smiling. They proceed to walk into the penthouse.
INT. STARK PENTHOUSE - DAY
Loki walks in, holding the scepter. Tony casually walks down the steps, towards the bar. Vegeta and Nappa lean against the wall unmoved.
LOKI: Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity.
TONY: Uh...actually, I'm planning to threaten you.
VEGETA: You should have left your armor on for that.
TONY: Yeah, it's seen a bit of mileage. You've got the blue stick of destiny. Would you like a drink?
LOKI: Stalling me won't change anything.
TONY: No, no, no! Threatening. No drink? You sure? I'm having one.
LOKI: The Saibamen and Chitauri are coming, nothing will change that. What have I to fear?
TONY: THE AVENGERS. (Loki looks at him, confused) It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. 'EARTH'S MIGHTIEST HEROES' type of thing.
LOKI: Yes, I've met them.
TONY: (SMILING) Yeah, takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But, let's do a head count here. Your brother, the demigod; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; two men with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and you, big fellas, you've managed to piss off every single one of them.
LOKI: That was the plan.
TONY: Not a great plan. When they come, and they will, they'll come for you.
From underneath the bar table, Tony pulls on COLANTOTTE BRACELETS, a honing device.
LOKI: I have an army.
TONY: We have a Hulk.
LOKI: I thought the beast had wandered off.
TONY: You're missing the point. There's no throne, there is no version of this, where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you. Because if we can't protect the Earth, you can be damned well sure we'll avenge it.
LOKI: (slowly walks up to him; raising the scepter) How will your friends have time for me, when they're so busy fighting you?
Loki TAPS Tony on the chest with his scepter. PING! Nothing. Confused, Loki tires again. PING! NOTHING.
LOKI: It should work.
TONY: Well, performance issues. You know? Not uncommon. One out of five...
In anger, Loki GRABS Tony by the throat and FLINGS him across the room.
TONY: Jarvis. Anytime now.
Vegeta grabs Tony by the throat.
LOKI: You will all fall before me.
VEGETA THROWS TONY OUT THE WINDOW. Tony FREEFALLS down the tower. From behind Loki, an elevator opens and a RED POD SHOOTS out.
The pod LASER SIGNALS the COLANTOTTE BRACELETS on Tony. The POD begins to TRANSFORM into the MARK VII suit.
It LATCHES onto Tony. IRON MAN. The suit FLIES up before he hits the ground or the gazing people. Loki looks up, angry.
IRON MAN: And there's one other person you pissed off! His name was Phil.
Loki raises the scepter. IRON MAN FIRES at Loki, sending him on his ass.
