Smash him.
Finally!
Let's all remember that Captain Marvel here
saved Carol's life.
I'm also remembering that he's an alien spy,
and just told us that his people are going to wipe out our planet.
Guuuuuyyys...
why is the ceiling so low?
The Kree will be back,
and they won't underestimate you Avengers again.
So what now?
You should prepare for the storm that's coming.
Welcome to Damocles Base, Mr. Gyrich.
From here, S.W.O.R.D. observes and responds
to situations involving any extra-terrestrial presence.
And if possible, we trying to make peaceful first contact with--
Cut to the chase Major Danvers.
You hunt aliens.
Huh.
I wouldn't quite describe it that wa--
I've read the reports, so you can skip the song and dance.
What's the status with the station?
The shipboard artificial intelligence isn't responding.
We've got partial control,
but it's defenses are still guarding sections of the base.
We've lost a number of agents just mapping the place.
Wonderful!
Billions of dollars are going into this operation Major.
So how many aliens have you captured?
Excuse me?
How. Many. Aliens?
Uhmm, none.
Would you like to see the bridge now?
Access main controls.
Respond.
Respond please?
OK.
How about "respond before I shoot you in your stupid A.I. face"?
Agent Brand.
What is it Danvers? I have a computer to shoot.
This is Henry Gyrich.
You know, our liaison with the United States government.
The one I told you was coming today.
I don't have time for politicians.
I don't understand why not.
You've been here for months, and what have you accomplished?
Nothing!
Have you even seen an alien?
Alert. Incoming threat detected.
There's one.
And there came a day unlike any other,
when Earth's mightiest heroes
found themselves united against a common threat.
On that day, they became The Avengers:
The invincible armored Iron Man,
Thor, Prince of Thunder,
The Hulk, strongest hero there is,
and Captain America, the first Avenger.

AVENGERS! ASSEMBLE!
Attention unidentified star craft
This is agent Abigail Brand with S.W.O.R.D.
Please respond.
Send this out on all frequencies.
Attention unidentified star craft
This is agent Abigail Brand with S.W.O.R.D.
Kree!
It's a Kree ship.
Attention Kree ship. You've entered restricted Earth space.
Incorrect. Your station is in restricted Kree space.
Surrender or be destroyed!
You have 15 seconds.
Kree ship - respond.
Maybe you're not familiar with human time measurement, but 15--
What are you waiting for? Fire!
Mr. Gyrich, would you please be quiet.
Time's up.
Imminent threat!
Defense condition 1 engaged.
Report!
Shields are holding.
Look!
Major, it's time to see what those powers of yours can do.
Take a team and intercept that ship.
I'll handle things up here.
Go!
We have a hostile alien force making Earth-fall.
We're going in hot boys.
Ms. Marvel to Agent Brand. We're 5 by 5.
Good luck!
Anyone who had lunch get ready to lose it.
Ahh. Think that went pretty well as far as our workouts go.
I only blacked out that one time.
Is that how you remember it?
So Hulk, how's everything going?
OK then.
If anyone needs me, I'll be rebuilding JARVIS for the hundredth time.
Are you still going to meet up with the others?
Panther's meeting Hawkeye and Wasp in Los Angeles.
They think they've got a lead on the Serpent Society. I'll--
NO!
Need you here. S.H.I.E.L.D. called.
And?
Aliens are invading.
Did they say where?
Pathetic.
I find it hard to believe that these primates defeated a Kree Sentry here.
And yet they did Yon-Rogg.
I have seen humanity's potential first-hand.
Monsters and mutations are not potential, Mar-Vell.
Beyond that, there's a spirit within them.
A warrior spirit, that rivals the Kree.
They were able to defeat Sentry 459 because you aided them!
You are a sympathizer to these animals,
but the only potential they will ever have is to be target practice for the Kree military.
The Supreme Intelligence disagrees.
The Supreme Intelligence
wishes this planet judged,
and that is what I will do.
Hail Grand Accuser!
Where are these Avengers you spoke of Mar-Vell?
My name is Ms. Marvel,
and I'm here to welcome you to Earth.
Now go home.
Last chance!
Withdraw from Earth
NOW!
Carol?
Do I know you?
What happened to you?
That energy signature,
it's Kree!
Lawson?
Lawson, what are you doing here?
The Avengers said you were gonna try and help us,
and this is how you do it?
By attacking?
Enough!
S.W.O.R.D.! Take 'em down!
Carol! NO!
Was that
one of the super-humans you were so impressed with Mar-Vell?
For humanity's sake, I hope their rulers have more to offer.
Agent Brand!
Damocles Base is scanning the Kree ship!
Warning! Enemy craft is preparing to launch attack fighters!
How many?
Five thousand.
People of Earth!
You have a choice.
Surrender, and become part of the Kree Empire,
or be destroyed.
Why did they stop firing?
That's never a good sign.
They're probably switching over to a bigger gun.
Get me Ms. Marvel on the com.
The away team isn't responding.
That's not a good sign either.
Incoming teleport detected!
Shields unable to compensate.
No prisoners!
Move!
Your time is up.
What is Earth's answer?
Sorry, I came in late.
What was the question?
You represent the leaders of this planet?
Well, I am pretty popular, but--
Surrender your planet to the Kree Empire,
and you may live.
Whu-whoa! Let's slow down here!
Who are you again?
They're hostiles! Let's take 'em down!
I know you.
Marvel.
Captain Marvel? What's going on here?
Iron Man. Please. Just do as Ronan asks.
Surrender.
Surrender, and we can work something out.
Avengers! Attack!
D'oh!
Cap!
No. NO!
Well, so much for diplomacy.
Hulk! I've got this. Go.
Go help Iron Man with the big guy.
Hmfph. Fine. Hrah!
You run?
Can your species be this weak?
It's called strategy.
Wait. Let me have Hulk explain it to you.
Ugh. Carol!
Carol, stop.
I believed in you.
I named myself after you.
All this time, I though you were out there fighting for us,
but you were just bringing your people back here to conquer us.
Ahh!
Uuugh!
You have to convince the other Avengers to stop.
They'll listen to you!
Why?
Earth
cannot survive what's coming.
The Kree are just waiting for Ronan's signal.
Report!
No word from the Grand Accuser, Captain.
Commander Kalum-Lo has reported however.
They've secured the bridge of the human ship.
Do something!
How 'bout this?
I push you in, and as they're shooting at you
I'll retake the bridge.
Or you could just be quiet, and let me listen.
Animal.
We could not access the station's computers from our ship.
You will do this now.
This technology, it is unlike anything I--
Yes, I can do it.
Access denied.
Access granted.
Full control of Damocles Base rerouted to command chair.
This is Kalum-Lo.
We have control of the station A.I.
Once Ronan gives the signal,
we can turn the human's own station against the planet.
Terrific.
Brand to Ms. Marvel.
You'd better be alive, because we've got a problem.
I'm here Brand. What's your situation?
The Kree are planning a strike from space.
You need to find someone called Ronan,
and keep him from transmitting any kind of signal or communication.
Ronan.
Carol, if I have to fight you to save your life, I will.
You cannot beat Ronan.
You don't know me at all.
Ronan, right?
You wanted Earth to surrender?
Guess what. It's your turn.
Give up.
You sure you're still in charge?
Ha ha.
You are an arrogant species.
And as such,
unworthy to join the Empire.
Ronan to all Kree forces.
I have made my judgment.
Eliminate all life on this planet.
Guhh!
That's it. Enough.
Brand!
Hey. Hold your fire.
I'm Abigail Brand, commander of this station.
on behalf of Earth, we surrender.
So don't shoot me.
Not so smart, human.
You. Got a name?
Sydren.
I've been trying to access the A.I. here for months, Sydren.
You did it in two minutes. Here's my offer.
I free you from the Kree. I keep you safe.
In exchange, you work for me.
I accept.
Good.
Kill all communications to and from that Kree ship.
Done.
I saw what you did, Agent Brand.
There's nothing in your file about being a super-human.
What makes you think I'm human?
Ronan, all communications from the ship are down.
- Did you do that? - No, I thought you did.
Ms. Marvel, this is Brand.
We've shut down communications to and from the Kree ship.
If there are any Kree left down there, handle with extreme prejudice.
Time to pick a side, Mar-Vell.
I am on your side.
There is no hope here except surrender.
Mankind will never surrender.
Ever.
Such arrogance.
You wish to die here?
So be it.
Then fix it!
I need communications restored right now,
and if you can't--
Nobody even think about moving.
Sydren, lock it down.
The bridge, hangers, crew quarters, lock it all down.
This ship is now the property of S.W.O.R.D.
No!
Why?
Why would you do that?
If Ronan wins,
there's still a chance humanity can survive --
that you can survive.
If he loses,
the Kree Empire is 100,000 star systems strong.
Earth will be crushed.
If you really knew anything about humanity,
you'd know we can never do what you're asking.
You seek to face me again.
It will end no better for you.
Fall!
Why won't you fall?
Surrender.
Never.
See,
we got something in common after all.
Yaaahhh!
I assume all this will go in your report?
The whole "S.W.O.R.D. saves Earth" thing?
You're not fired.
Yet.
Not too bad for your first time out.
Thanks.
That mean a lot coming from an Avenger.
I'm glad you feel that way.
Because I want you on the team.
Join the Avengers.
uh-- ah--
I don't know what to say.
Yes works pretty well.
Yes!
I'll still have responsibilities to S.W.O.R.D., but yeah!
It'd be an honor.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Hopefully you can save my life a lot more in the future.
I have convinced the Supreme Intelligence
that Earth was just a scientific anomaly they needed to study.
But now,
you're a threat.
Because of what you've done, the Kree will come in full force.
We'll be here waiting.
We must move up our timetable.
The Kree are coming.
