Avengers, assemble!

Taking the elevator to the top floor of Stark Tower gets you a quick and harmless body scan and the welcoming dulcet tones of J.A.R.V.I.S. As the doors open, there's... not much up here. The large window continues to dominate the room, its great sweeping views of New York City spread out for most of the space, making it almost seem like it was floating above the city. There's a large table, set with five chairs and one... slightly larger chair, all empty. There's an entertainment center, mutely playing CNN, a visible reminder of why they had assembled ( .... )

WHERE: NYC
WHEN: 7/16/2012 10:54 pm

( That was nearly three months ago, when they found him. )

And there came a day, a day unlike any other... when Earth's mightiest heroes found themselves united against a common threat.. The Invincible Iron Man, the Mighty Thor, the Incredible Hulk, super spy the Black Widow, master assassin Hawkeye, and Captain America, the first Avenger united against a force from beyond the stars, led by a power-mad Loki, God of Mischief. These legends gathered to fight the foes together. On that day, the Avengers were born.

After the Chitauri Invasion, it became very apparent that Earth was no longer protected by badges and pistols. They would need the Earth's Mightiest.

SHIELD is now looking for anyone who fits that description. Avengers, assemble!
