01x11 - The Avengers Initiative

[bunniefuu]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I am Iron Man.

[CLAMORING]

FURY: "I am Iron Man." You think you're

the only superhero in the world?

You've become part of a bigger universe.

You just don't know it yet.

- Who the hell are you?

- Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Oh.

I'm here to talk to you

about the Avenger Initiative.

We have no idea what other

intergalactic threats are out there.

For emergencies only, okay?

FURY: And our one-woman security force

had a prior commitment

on the other side of the universe.

S.H.I.E.L.D. alone can't protect us.

COULSON: Think you can find

others like her?

FURY: We found her,

and we weren't even looking.

I don't wanna join

your super-secret boy band.

[LAUGHS] No, no, no. See, I remember,

you do everything yourself.

How's that working out?

You wanna do this whole

lone gunslinger act and it's unnecessary.

You don't have to do this alone.

FURY: That's not looking so good.

[EXCLAIMS]

Meet Agent Romanoff.

- Hi.

- I'm a S.H.I.E.L.D. shadow.

Once you were ill,

I was tasked to you by Director Fury.

You are mind-blowingly duplicitous.

How do you do it?

You tear things

You're a triple impostor.

Never seen anything like you.

At this juncture, we'd only like

to use you as a consultant.

ROMANOFF: For a man

who's supposed to be avoiding stress,

you picked a hell of a place to settle.

Avoiding stress isn't the secret.

- BANNER: Who are you?

- Natasha Romanoff.

I'm here on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D.

- BANNER: Why?

- Nick Fury seems to trust you.

COUNCILMAN: You're dealing with forces

you can't control.

What if I say no?

I'll persuade you.

COUNCILMAN: You're running

the greatest covert security network

and you're leaving the fate

of the human race to a handful of freaks.

I'm not leaving anything to anyone.

We need a response team.

Trying to get me back in the world?

FURY: Trying to save it.

We fight for the same cause,

the protection of this world.

From this day forward,

you can count me as your ally.

FURY: These people may be isolated,

unbalanced even

but I believe with the right push

We need you to look this over.

they can be exactly what we need.

There was an idea to bring together

a group of remarkable people,

to see if they could become

something more.

- ROMANOFF: How do we do this?

- As a team.

COUNCILWOMAN: I don't think you understand

what you've started,

letting the Avengers

loose on this world.

They're dangerous.

FURY: They surely are,

and the whole world knows it.

Every world knows it.

Was that the point of all this?

A statement?

FURY: A promise.

[ROARS]

ROGERS: Avengers

assemble.
