Previously on Avengers...
I know you believe in the future.
But i believe in people.
And i choose to believe in you Iron Man.
You're sure you want this?
Yeah.
You got it then.
Red Hulk is a success.
Wouldn't you agree Doctor?
I'd say so.
Excellent.
United States Secretary of Defense, Dell Rusk...
Held a special press conference this morning.
Where he reiterated his bans on...
The Avengers!
Some may call them heroes...
but they are nothing more than a superpowered army.
working above the laws of our government.
They present a clear danger to hard working american citizens.
And i will be keeping a close eye on them.
That's it. I'm crossing Dell Rusk off my Christmas card list.
Iron Man! Keep your head on the game!
You tell me not to multi task?
- That's not gonna happen. - Don't worry about Dell Rusk.
Politicians come and go. the work we do lives on.
If i'd said something like the work we do lives on...
it would sound corny
But coming from you, it's so natural.
I'm full of suprises.
See, this suprises you.
The Avengers need a new leader.
- Officially. - What are you saying?
I founded the Avengers to get a job done.
But there was something missing.
Until you came along.
It took while for you to catch up with the 21st century.
But now that you are here you are the face of the Avengers.
You are the leader we need.
Tony... I don't know what to say.
Start with "yes".
Cap!
Warning. toxicity level of gasses emission...
threatening armor integrity
I'm fine, JARVIS! what about Cap?
Subtitles : Nakor38 edit by PotterJ
And there came a day, unlike any other
When Earth 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!
Assembled, we are strong!
Forever fight as one!
Avengers, assemble!
JARVIS, prep the infirmary Seal the Mansion!
Initiate security lockdown and patch me through to Thor!
Thor, you read me?
We've got a situation at the Mansion
What madness is this?
That cloud is toxic
Get rid of it before all Manhattan is exposed.
Consider it done my friend.
Body temperature is at 104 and climbing.
And his heart is beating erratically.
He doesn't have long, guys.
He's not the only one.
We don't know how many of us were exposed.
JARVIS, analysis on this virus. anything on the data banks?
Nothing, Sir.
Easy, pal Try not to move.
No! Not this!
Not him!
Why do i feel so hot
Panther, look!
It maybe just a matter of time for all of us.
Not to mention anyone exposed in the streets outside.
We need samples from both of them.
From there, we may be able to use them to synthesize an antidote.
Sir, incoming call.
Secretary of Defense Rusk on secure channel M 5
Rusk? He wants to talk now?
You, Avengers, have finally crossed the line.
Storing dangerous biotech weapons in the heart of Manhattan?
This is precisely what i've been talking about.
Mr Secretary, we were attacked.
Tell that to the american people, Stark.
This incident confirms what i've been telling them all along.
The Avengers cannot be trusted.
Now, i'm shutting you down until further notice.
You know we can't do that.
As for this incident, we just need time to...
Wrong answer.
The die is cast
I'm officially taking matters...
into my own more capable hands.
Let's keep those samples in the accelerator for analysis.
Rusk did not giving us much time.
The Wasp is failing fast.
Though Captain America is showing some resistance.
Maybe the super soldier serum in his blood.
Sir,an armored division has come the area.
And the Mansion security systems have been hacked from the outside.
Hacked? I wrote those programs personally!
And two transports are landing on the front lawn as we speak.
He's sending in troop to do what?
Arrest us?
Code Red team, you have your objectives.
then move out.
I hope you guys have you invitation 'cause..
as we don't let just anyone in here.
Here's my invitation!
I don't fall that easily!
We'll see about that.
You dare strike an Asgardian, mortal?
That felt good, let's do it again.
I can't just sit this out
Cap,they're already working on an antidote.
Besides, you're not going anywhere...
- without... me. - Wasp, no!
Stand out, soldier You need to rest.
You should heed your own advice you look terrible.
and certainly in no condition to deal with me.
Luckily, i don't have to. JARVIS?
Overriding security lockdown.
Initiating internal defense systems.
Where did you learn to move like that?
Now it's your turn!
Come on.
- We need that antidote. - Yes.
It is taking... more time... than i anticipated.
Panther, you OK?
I am fine.
Oh no.
Looks like some needs a doctor.
Samson? Are you actually working for Rusk?
I thought you were smarter than that!
I'm under orders.
JARVIS, Some privacy, please.
Acknowledged.
That will hold him for a while.
I hope.
Hey, Doc
We're not done yet.
You can't fight off the infection much longer.
We are here to keep you in quarantine.
And who is "we"?
take this!
and take this!
Looking for something?
We're here to save lives, Hawkeye.
Be smart and yours will be one of them.
I'm healthy enough to deal with you.
You're getting sicker by the minute!
I'm a doctor.
I don't... care... if you're... the surgeon general!
You, Avengers, don't know when to quit, do you?
Don't you get it? You brought this on yourselves!
Ultrasonic arrow birds hate them.
Now, what were you looking for in here?
- Sir. - Take a message, JARVIS
The simulations show a real progress against the toxin.
Panther's out...
And one of Rusk's gorillas is pounding at my door.
We have an encrypted signal from Hawkeye...
- coming from the training room. - That i'll take.
Hawkeye, you're hangin in there?
barely.
But i found the reason we're in this mess.
It's an incendiary device with a built in emission system.
It caused the explosion...
and released the airborne toxin all at once.
Hold on. i'll do a scan maybe we'll figure out...
which psycho people that we arrest this week
Hold on, Stark.
I've seen this kind of tech before.
In my days as a SHIELD agent.
This device is DOD, all the way.
Department of Defense? So Rusk set us up.
But why?
Just an excuse to (break) a second (to) strike team?
I'm gonna leave that one to you.
Have fun.
Hawkeye, do you read me?
Forgive me, Iron Man...
But we're taking control of these premises, whether you like it or not.
By order of...
Never... turn your back... on an Avenger...
with an attitude...
Carol, no!
JARVIS initiate final sequence on my voice command.
- Go. - Processing.
Sir, simulations are showing full symptom withdrawal...
based on your last antidote formula
- Synthesizing now. - Make fast, we need it.
My mercy has its limits, brute.
Mercy, what's that?
Come on, let's go.
Yes.
Cap!
- JARVIS? - Scanning.
Captain America is not in the Mansion.
What? where could he have possibly gone in his condition?
Winter Soldier, you've done much better...
than the rest of Code Red.
Thank you, sir.
You poor misguided outdated soul.
You have no idea what this country needs...
from its heroes, do you?
Don't you realize?
This was all for your benefit.
JARVIS, i'm about 300 miles out from Washington DC...
tracking Cap via his Avengers ID card.
What's the status back at the ranch?
The afflicted Avengers are all responding to the antidote.
Any affected civilians are also being treated.
The only one left that has not been given the antidote...
is Captain America.
Not for long,i'll be here in...
Attention Iron Man!
This is colonel Tom Parker US Air Command.
We have orders to ground you immediately.
Colonel,i respect you having your orders...
and i have no intention of engaging you.
But i've also no intention of leaving my friend die.
So, if you'll excuse me...
they blockade me.
JARVIS lock on the Cap's ID signal.
Give me a targeting solution.
Target marked
But for more than 100 miles out you can't possibly...
it’s your heart out, Hawkeye.
How perfect
The last attempt at salvation.
Gloriously leave thwarted by the most...
unlikely of adversary.
I've waited so long.
Show yourself coward!
Red Skull!
And so, we've come full circle, Captain America.
I wil crush you...
and everything you hold dear...
under my feet.
Finish him.
Do it.
No.
For your defiance, you have signed your death warrant.
Look at me, Skull.
You and I still have a score to settle.
Nice photo work.
Just spoke to the SHIELD psych team.
Falcon and Samson are gonna be treated for whatever mind control the Skull had them under.
Good, they are not the bad guys.
Except the red monster i did battle with.
He has not been seen since.
Speaking of which, JARVIS reports...
that the news picture of Cap and the Skull...
In the Pentagon lawn is being played worldwide.
I hope they are looking on how exactly...
a psychopatic HYDRA war criminal...
could get appointed Secretary of Defense.
I'll never understand politics.
The important thing is that all Rusk's public campaign against us...
end up looking like the ranting of a mad man.
It' good PR for us.
And we all owe this man.
Cap?
Let him be Wasp. After all he's been through...
I just hope he hasn't forgotten what's important.
To him, and to the Avengers.
