007

[The scene cuts to Selvig, who is still under the control of Loki, is ready toactivate the device he created with the Tesseract. Iron Manslowly reaches.]

Jarvis: "Sir, I turned off the arc reactor.The device is alreadyself-sustaining"

IM: "Shut it down, Dr. Selvig."

Selvig: "It's too late! She can't stop now.She wants to show us something! Anew universe."

IM: "OK." [Iron Man aims his repulsors at the device and fires, only for the Tesseract to deflect it, sending the energy outwards, making Selvig fall and Iron Man fly. The people in the city gasp and look up to see Iron Man who gets his balance back.]

Mera on Intercome: "Dad! The barrier is pure energy. It's unreachable."

IM: "Thanks for the heads up, sweetie.-" [He looks down and sees Loki standing there.] "Plan B."

[Inside the suit:]

JARVIS: "Sir, the Mark 7 is not yet ready for deployment."

Tony: "Then skip the spinning rims. We're on the clock."

[Iron Man lands on the centre of the machinery and slowly walks down as the suit deconstructs, watching Loki carefully as he does that. Inside the tower, Loki walks forward as Tony goes behind the bar.]

Loki: "Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity."

Tony: "Uh- Actually, I'm planning to threaten you."

Loki: "You should have left your armour on for that."

Tony: "Yeah, It's seen a bit of mileage, and you've got the glow stick of destiny." [Loki looks down at his sceptre] "Would you like a drink?" [Loki places the sceptre in his other hand.]

Some facepalm at Tony.

Loki: "Stalling me won't change anything."

Tony: "No, no. Threatening. No drink? Are you sure? I'm having one." [Loki walks towards the window.]

Loki: "The Chitauri are coming, nothing will change that." [He turns to look at Tony] "What have I to fear?"

Tony: "The Avengers." [Tony opens a bottle of his drink, before looking at Loki who is visibly confused.] "That's what we call ourselves. We're sort of like a team. "Earth's mightiest heroes" type of thing." [He pours his drink.]

Loki: "Yes, I've met them." [Tony laughs]

Tony: "Yeah. It 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.-" [Loki turns away.] "a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend.-" [And as Tony talks, he quickly slips on a bracelet onto his wrist.] "A man with breathtaking anger-management issues, a couple of master assassins, and my royal daughter who is amazing at combat might I add, and you, big fella,-" [He pointed at him.] "-you've managed to piss off every single one of them."

Loki: "That was the plan."

Loki: "That was the plan." [Tony takes a sip.]

Tony: "Not a great plan." [He begins to walk towards Loki.] "When they come, and they will, they'll come for you."

Loki: "I have an army."

Tony: "We have a hulk."

Loki: "I thought the beast had wandered off."

Tony: "There is no throne. There is no version of this where you can 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 damn well sure we'll avenge it." [He takes another sip of his drink]
