For those of you that were interested in what SHIELD is all about. We're going to try and have a little get together tomorrow at Bally's. Tequila Bar. If you change your mind about us, then what the hell -- you're already at a Tequila bar.

So, three Tony Starks. You still in one piece?

I swear, I must be the only person so easily bored by Las Vegas. Fake or not.

And does anyone else find the talking statues in Ceasar's Palace as creepy as I do? I guess it's one way to educate tourists about the Classics but, tacky much?

[Tony Starks (all) + Howard Stark]

what have you all thought about, I'm regards to a business venture here? I'm assuming some raw materials might be hard to come by, if we want to take on manufacturing, but I'd be a lot less worried if you should probably have something to do besides taking full advantage of the complimentary everything in this city.

...Tony?

He's.... gone...

-- Hi. So.
-- Um.
-- What the hell is that thing?

.............I knew I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque.

Where would a woman seemingly procure such a thing as a bathing suit?

That's the last time I'll be going to church.

The Avengers need a support network here, in Las Vegas, and seeing as SHIELD does not seem to be an organization - not even a twinkle in some shadowy spy's eye - I suppose we're just going to have to start from the ground up.

Discuss here who should be included, what you would like to see from SHIELD and furthermore I should like a thorough debrief regarding what we know of this Winter Soldier.

[Black Widow]

About that talk.

[Steve Rogers]

I'll rest easy when you've had a cup of tea.

[Avengers]

.... Hey guys? Where... is everybody?

I could've sworn Vegas used to look a little different. If the rubble outside the New York New York is supposed to be some sort of tribute to the city's history, it's in very poor taste and I'm not amused.
