Chapter 23.5: The Avengers Protocol

We open to the great New York City in Manhattan, home to many colorful and costumed superheroes as we zoom in to a large tower that has a certain A labeled right on the front.

This tower originally labeled Stark belongs to the one and only Tony Stark, A.K.A, The Invincible Iron Man.

Tony: Its's noon, got three hours of beauty rest. Man, it's been a while since I've seen any action.

We then cut to see the man himself, Tony stark in a futuristic lab sitting in a chair with holoscreens all around him showcasing different parts of the city and the world.

Tony: I wonder if any of the old gang needs their butts saved today.

He pulls up one screen showing the Mighty Thor battling in Norway against Frost Giants. 

He was throwing Mjolnir around at the Frost Giants.

Tony: So, Thor's bringing the thunder as usual. But what are his odds doing it solo?

A probability scale showing beside Thor reaching 62%.

Tony: I'll bet a 62 percent chance of-

Tony was cut off when Thor summons his lighting presumably ending the fight there.

Tony: Scratch that.

The screen switches to show the strongest one there is, The Incredible Hulk fighting a strange giant monster.

Tony: Hulk? Nah, he's sitting at a 96 percent smash probability.

The Hulk grabs the camera orb and either smashes it or throws it away out of annoyance. The scene changes to The Wasp firing yellow electrical blasts from her hands at a bunch of robots.

Tony: As for Wasp. I'll say she's 85 percent good at taking care of herself quite well.

The screen then shows the former thief turned hero, the great archer Hawkeye, firing his arrows at magazine cover that has Stark's face right on the front.

Tony: Hawkeye? Definitely needs my help.

He was having an annoyed look on his face from the archer shooting "his" face.

Soon Tony's advanced AI Butler, Jarvis making his presence known by stating...

Jarvis: Have you noticed how often you lose your bets with yourself ? If I were keeping track, I believe you'd owe yourself 15 million dollars.

Tony: Don't worry Jarvis. I'm good for every digital penny.

Jarvis: You could just contact them, sir.

Tony: No, we broke up the band for a reason. And like I predicted Earth is doing just fine without the Avengers. It's just that-

Before he can finish, the tower's alert systems that blaring announcing a problem.

Tony: That can't be right.

The holoscreen now center to show a battle with explosions happening the background showing The First Avenger Captain America himself doing battle with the villainous Hydra.

Tony: Captain America can handle a bunch of Hydra losers with one armed and a rolled newspaper.

The screens then show the infamous Red Skull undisputed leader of HYDRA and all round bad guy.

Tony: Red Skull? He's long dead.

Jarvis: Satellites confirm a match of body telemetry. It is him sir.

Realizing the danger his old friend may be in, the scene switches to Tony suiting up in one of his famous Iron man suits.

Tony: Upload those coordinates into my navigation and keep my eggs warm. Skull busting makes me hungry.

The finishing touches of his armor were assembling as machines placing the great Iron man helm on his head and the eyes lighting up. 

Soon, Iron Man flies out of the building heading to Cap's location.  

(The Statue of Liberty) 

The scene flashes white to the battle at the statue of liberty with Captain America catching a grenade and throwing it behind him without looking taking out a dozen hydra soldiers and catching his shield while facing the red skull.

Captain America: New toys, same old Hydra. Sorry you came all the way back from the dead to chalk up another lost Skull.

Skull: Perhaps, (pulls out two giant blasters) perhaps not! Hahahahaha!

Iron Man is flying straight to the location to help out the other hero.

Iron Man: Just a few more seconds, Cap, I got your back.

But sadly the Armored Avenger was too slow as the Red Skull fires both of his laser cannons at the First Avenger and soon the hero turns to dust from the blast. Captain America is GONE.

Iron Man: (shocked) CAP!!!

The Red Skull coughs as he picks up Captain America's shield while smirking in victory.

Iron Man: NOOOO!!!

Iron Man fires multiple missiles as the Red Skull who blocked them with the shield.

Red Skull: (coughs) So the Iron Man has a heart after all.

Iron Man: Drop the shield, you animal!

Red Skull: I think not. Consider it a symbol of a new dawn, and your demise.

Unexpectedly, flying Hydra troopers come out of nowhere with Tony scanning them.

Iron Man: Jarvis, give me a pre-play simulation now!

Jarvis: Pre-play Simulation.

The AI simulates the next move of the Hydra soldiers.

Iron Man: Scans show their tech is hard-wired to their central nervous systems. Hydra's never been that advanced. What happened to my pre-play sims, Jarvis?

Jarvis: Already ahead of you, sir. As usual.

The AI launches a micro missiles at the soldiers from the back of the suit as Iron Man files toward the Skull.

Iron Man: Those guys are gonna wake up with a headache.

Jarvis: Armor breached. System failure.

The Skull simply swatting him away with Cap's shield. 

Red Skull: You are just a fool in a machine, Stark! Without your technology, you have nothing. No instinct for battle. No fire to lead. You hide behind armor so you don't have to make sacrifices for victory!

Jarvis: Power is at 20%, sir. And you have a new problem teleporting in.

Red Skull: Let me show you!

Someone is teleporting to their location. The person is revealed to the Technopath, MODOK (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing).

MODOK: (smirk) Won't this be fun.

Iron Man: MODOK?! Since when does he team up?!

MODOK unleashes a technopathic wave that restrains Iron Man in the air as he was yelling in pain.

Red Skull: MODOK has graciously upgraded my army. As you're well aware, his technopathic abilities work wonders with machines. Even your machines, Herr Stark. Enjoy your final painful moments on Earth.

MODOK releases his technopathic grip Iron Man while the Skull coughs.

MODOK: We got what we came for, Skull.

MODOK opens a portal for them to leave in which they do. Iron Man was left alone as he looks down at where Captain America was before he vanished.

Iron Man: (sadden) Cap... (serious) Jarvis, activate the Avengers Protocol. 

Meanwhile, Hawkeye was seen around New York finishing his job of dealing with criminals trying to rob money as police sirens were heard.

Hawkeye: Cops are coming, uh, so hang around.

Just then, Hawkeye heard something flying behind as he turns around aims his bow and arrow at a floating ball.

Hawkeye: I'm already warmed up and I got the B.O. to prove it.

The ball shows him a hologram of Iron Man.

Iron Man: (hologram) Don't waste your arrow. It's time. I've activated the Avengers protocol.

Hawkeye: (smile) Yeah, right. Hilarious, Stark. All right, where are the hidden cameras?

Iron Man: (hologram) This is legit. Code Alpha, Omicron, Omega. We need you, Hawkeye.

Hawkeye looks up in surprise and saw the Avengers jet hovering above the air.

Iron Man: We had our reasons for disbanding the Avengers. I bet some would count my winning personality as one of them. And the world did fine without us, some things changed. You know my ego well enough to realize I wouldn't send out this call if I could just whip up a suit of armor and make the bad things go away.

As Iron Man was talking, Hawkeye went onto his hover bike and flies off. The scene changes to Thor defeating the last Frost Giant before he saw the floating ball. 

Wasp had finished her job of dealing with the robots as she was flying before she saw one of the floating balls heading towards her. 

The scene then changes to Hulk jumping high, and while he was in the air, he saw the floating ball before he smashed it into pieces with his fist.

Hulk: Puny Stark!

Iron Man: Whatever you're doing, I guarantee it's nothing compared to this. Get to the mansion A.S.A.P. Your team is waiting.

At a tall building in Manhattan, we see a young man with dark skin and black hair in a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent uniform. He was being trained by his boss, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D, Nick Fury.

Nick Fury: Agent Wilson, I was told you were at the top of your class! So why am I watching you just hang out here like Spider-Man after a late night?!

Sam Wilson jumped off the building before he lands on the ground while smiling in excitement.

Nick Fury: Wilson, what's gotten into you?!

Sam: (took off his belt) Sorry, Director Fury, just got a call for the big leagues! (runs off)

Nick Fury: "Big leagues"? Ha! And what do you think is bigger than S.H.I.E.L.D?!

Sam then enters the Avengers Tower to receive a suit as he was in the lab.

Sam: Jarvis, I'm here. And I'm completely geeking out that Tony sent a probe for me.

Jarvis: (opens the capsule of the War Machine armor) Mr. Stark suggested you should wear the War Machine armor.

Sam: (cocks a brow) War Machine? I don't think so. Time to give Project Red Wing its first test drive.

Sam went to a capsule and pressed a button as the door to another capsule opens and reveals the Red Wing suit.

Jarvis: Arrogant and pig-headed, you'll make a fine Avenger.

Meanwhile, we cut to the jet as Hawkeye, Wasp, and Thor were inside.

Hawkeye: Called you too, huh? 

Wasp: (annoyed) Yeah, and right before I was about to head home. Great timing, Tony.

Hawkeye: And you, Thor? Nothing big going on in Valhalla tonight?

Thor: Yugensborg! The norse tree-hurling competition and a festival the likes of which you can't even imagine. But never have I heard Stark so... serious.

Wasp: Has he ever been serious?

Suddenly, something crashed onto the jet, causing it to lose control.

Hawkeye: Autopilot's out! Cross your fingers!

Hawkeye went to the controls as he was trying his best to keep the jet steady from crash landing. 

Wasp: What was that?!

Hawkeye: Don't know. Thor, you go hit whatever hit us.

Thor: (smirk) That suits me fine!

Thor went to the hanger door as the door opens, he saw Hulk riding on the side of the jet.

Thor: Hulk, you fool! (smacks Hulk off with his hammer) You'll kill us all! (flies down toward him)

Hulk: (cocks a brow) Did you just call me stupid?

Hulk punches Thor as they fighting while falling in midair before crashing into front of the Avengers Mansion. Iron Man was inside the mansion with his arms crossed.

Iron Man: Some things never change.

Thor was twirling his hammer while Hulk growls until he got smacked in the face.

Thor: (grins) Now, this is a battle. It's been too long.

Hulk: Too long. (smirk) Like your hair.

Hulk gets up as he jump towards Thor, both the strongest Avengers were ready to fight until an arrow flies by and releases a that blinds them for a second, curiosity of Hawkeye.

Hawkeye: ENOUGH!!! You knuckleheads play tag and Manhattan gets a 9.0 earthquake. Thanks for reminding me why this didn't work last time.

Hawkeye walks toward the mansion with Wasp following him before Hulk and Thor join in as well.

Wasp: (smile) This sure brings back some memories. 

(time-skip)

Wasp, Hawkeye, Thor, and Hulk were walking through the hallway, following Iron Man.

Iron Man: Here's what's happening. The Avengers are reassembling. Handpicked by me, under my command.

Hawkeye: (smile) Ha! You? You could lead a field trip to Vegas, maybe, but-

Iron Man: No jokes. Not now. Cap is gone.

Iron Man takes off the cloth, revealing the statue of Captain America. 

Wasp: (disbelief) No... It can't be... (tears coming out her eyes) It's not true...

Thor closed his eyes in sadness, Hawkeye covered his eyes/glasses while Hulk punched on the wall in anger.

Iron Man: One of our own fell today, taken down by MODOK, and the Red Skull.

He shows the recording of how Cap "died" at the hands of the Red Skull. Thor, Hulk, and Hawkeye widen their eyes worried while Wasp covered her mouth while having tears in her eyes. 

Iron Man: If they're together now, the world is at risk. Besides, we have a friend to avenge. (opens his face-mask) Now, I know you all have reasons to walk out that door, but I can't do this alone. Can we set the past aside and work together, one last time?

Wasp: (wipes her tears) Count me in. Cap was my friend too, and I'm gonna make Skull and MODOK pay by giving them a nasty sting.

Thor: Wasp is right. We are Avengers, and the world needs us.

Hawkeye: (smile) You know me, (finger gun) point and shoot.

Hulk: We're gonna hug now, (smirk and punch his fist into his hand) or can we go smash someone?

The reassembled team then begins to jets off without the noticing the deadly spy, the Black Widow is watching.

Black Widow: Keeping my distance for now, but it looks like the call I got wasn't a mistake. The Avengers are having a reunion. Black Widow out.
