[Bruce stands with the bloodwork results and lets Cap out of his containment cell]
So we got it all out. We just need to figure out if this thing was contagious or not. If it was in Steve there's a chance it could have gone inside of any of us if it was airborne.

[He's pretty sure his wrist is broken. The broken glass from his watch digs deeper into his skin every second and he's not sure if he's going to make it out of this one alive, but he's going to try. He sees Lorraine coming from the corner of his eye and feels the slightest bit of relief when her suit grabs her before she reaches them.]
I just wanted you all to know that Cap is right. I'm a bitch. [SOS. SOS!]

[Everyone left after Natasha, Bucky, Clint, Evan, Micah, and Wanda have been recruited.]
I just got word that Captain America quit the team and formed a new one without us. Just thought you guys could use a heads up in case you didn't know.

Okay, so... don't freak out, but we lost Bucky.

Guys, you're gonna wanna see this. [On the tablets he sends out synced videos of Peggy being catatonic, Sam falling asleep exactly when the attacks occur, the live attacks with timestamps, and Sam waking up when the attacks are over.]

I thought it was a coincidence with Bucky's bombings, but it happened twice last night, the two times match up from when Cap said that the alternate Natasha came and when Carter came. Carter went catatonic the moment Sam woke up. Also we just got the lab results back. Agent Carter doesn't have any human DNA either, but it doesn't stop there. It looks like she and Sam have the same exact DNA. To me, it looks like some sort of extraterrestrial being that behaves like some... humanoid shape-shifting fungus. I'm not sure how it's able to imitate our abilities or how it's able to know what we know. I especially don't understand how it got a hold of Thor's ax or Sam's suit or any of these things.

Its motive is still unclear, but I think we can be sure the genocide won't be over until we figure out how to kill this thing.

Okay, I am ready to live, people. Someone hit me up and show me the world.

Crew
I'm so excited to be working with you guys, like seriously.

Dad
So I made some calls and I got a job. Be happy for me.

Sex trafficker and notorious serial baby killer Mark Wahlberg and his gang were detained by Queen Steph's army late last night. We are live right now at the public execution.

[Steph drags the man by his ankles through town and up to an alter.]
This is what happens when you cross me. This is what happens when you commit crime in Stepford. The streets will run red with blood until there is order and you will know that I am the law. [She throws his head down and raises an ax.] I am judge. I am jury. [She chops off his head. Blood sprays.] I am executioner.


[His associates are tied up all around on stakes. She clenches her fist and sets them on fire. They all start screaming.]

And you will obey.

[The camera cuts back to Sami]
Long live the Queen. This is Sami Bahar with the special report.

Banner and Forman have deserted us and they've broken Stark, it's up to the us now. We may not be scientists or technologically inclined but we have something the rest of those so-called geniuses don't and that's determination. It's resilience. It's heart.

Rogers, I underestimated you when we first met. You may be very very tiny, frail, and impossibly weak but you have the heart of a warrior. It's an honor to fight at your side. "Valkyrie", you may be a treasonous liar but it's an honor to fight by your side as well. And yours, Clint and Natalia. Let us burn this wretched evil tower to ash.

Look, I know you guys think we're -- evil or something -- or holding you hostage or -- I don't know, I guess, but -- none of that's true. I think that Amanda was working on some kind of formula but I don't know what the purpose was -- I think whatever that formula was turned you guys into kids but if we can figure out how to reverse it everything can go back to normal.

[He's limping and bleeding from the head from battling with the suits to try and help Bucky, and he's exhausted from lack of sleep, and he feels like it's on him to try and figure this out since science is his thing. It's also obvious that convincing Tony to help isn't going to work, but he hasn't lost all hope for Bruce and Amanda. Not yet.]

[She wakes up at her desk at 11pm. She must have passed out after work. Did she eat today? She rubs her face then remembers Tony. They had plans. She gets up and her legs are numb from sleeping sitting down at her desk for hours. She goes to the bathroom to wash her face. She's exhausted, but she's pretty sure she needs a burger and some shots more than she needs sleep right now because she hasn't had a real meal or a break from the stress in well over 24 hours. When she goes down to the lab she sees the whole place in disarray.] Oh no. [She mumbles, letting herself in and looking around. Rhodes' suit is there and it's dented. What the hell was strong enough to dent this suit? Where's Tony? She fumbles with her tablet, typing the filter anxiously.]
[Avengers + Friends]
[No AU Avengers]
Has anyone seen Tony? Or Colonel Rhodes?

[She looks around the abandoned facility. The coffee pot on the counter is still hot. How could they have all left so quickly?]
This is one of the most efficient human trafficking operations I've ever seen.

Avengers; ETA
We raided the facility and it was empty. I think we're going to need all hands on deck, Cap.

So...Steph Rogers and Lucky Barnes? They're not who I'm pretty sure they are, are they? Also the volcano hasn't erupted but I'm starting to think that may not be the worst thing that might happen.

[Minus Junior Avengers]
Did anyone seem to notice the volcano that popped up in the middle of town?

[Spevan]
[Bruce comes over to Cap's place and comes to Evan's room, knocking on his door]

[He's still in physical therapy but he's finally home.]
I'm alive, I'm ready to celebrate.

Harmony
Where've you been? I thought I'd at least get a card.

So Darth Vader's dead and we have his crazy grandson in lockup. Good work, team. It was messy but I'm counting it as a win.

Question? So what happens when he decides to come out? Do we have a Plan B?

Cap
I heard the Manchurian Candidate is better now?

Come hang out at our place.

We just defeated a world destroyer so we're 3 to zip in our favor. I need about three tons of alcohol, all the pretty girls Stepford has to offer, a DJ, and everyone legal drinking age and up at my place to celebrate for the next couple days.

Harmony
That stuff on the news. The vigilante. That's you, right?
