Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow

Can we hear it again? Please.

More-- tell us the story more! Please.

Okay, one more time

and then it's off to bed.

And there came a day unlike any other

when Earth's mightiest heroes were united

against a common threat--

the soldier, the god,

the knight, the spy,

the giant, the king,

the pixie, the ghost,

and the archer.

On that day,

the Avengers were born,

to fight foes that no single hero could withstand.

Time-traveling conquerors,

alien invaders and masters of evil--

the Avengers vanquished them all

and finally, when the world was at peace,

the heroes built lives of their own.

The soldier and spy fell in love,

as did the giant and the pixie.

The king found his queen.

And the thunder god returned to his kingdom

far away from the world of men.

And one by one the children

- of the Avengers came to be-- - (clamoring)

-children who would one day

become a new generation of heroes.

But in time evil returned,

an evil called Ultron.

Ultron wanted nothing less

than total dominion over the world.

But the Avengers stood in its way.

Sadly, their defeat was inevitable.

But before they fell,

the Avengers hid their children in a faraway place

where they would grow up safe from Ultron's grasp,

because the Avengers knew

that as long as the children were alive,

there was hope, hope for the future.

- (zapping) - Aagh!

- Tag, Pym. - No fair, Azari.

You didn't give me enough of a head start!

No fair?

Aren't you the one who called no powers

then shrunk and flew away?

Yeah, well, I meant no powers for you.

Of course. Guess what, Pym?

You're it.

Hey, not so fast!

And no powers!

Jocasta, adjust environmental controls

in the hangar plus 2 therms.

Radar array 7 needs realigning

and let's get lunch started, shall we?

Jocasta: Commands in progress.

I dreamt of Asgard again, Father.

The Bifrost Bridge stretched out to me

and I could see the glow of the realm eternal.

I know thee to be real, Father,

and hope that one day soon you will come for your daughter.

And Father, lastly I beseech thee:

give me the power to smite Pym once and for all!

What?

Aagh!

That's not how tag works, Torunn.

You're supposed to run from Pym, not attack us.

That's a human rule.

An immortal Asgardian warrior runs from no one!

You, Pym, and James,

are about to taste my sword's wrath!

Hey-- I mean forsooth!

Where's James?

Does he get the sword, the spark, or the sting today?

It's His Royal Highness's turn.

I hate you, Pym.

Hah.

- (James screams) - (shield clanks)

If you dorks are all done bothering me now,

I'm going back to bed.

But you're missing the game.

What is your problem, James?

You've been sleeping all day, missing training,

blowing off your chores, and generally being a real pain.

Who cares?

What, am I gonna miss laundry day?

So what if we don't do the chores and train?

For what? Seriously, nothing's ever gonna happen in this place.

You can act like a king, Pym can play superhero,

and Torunn can live in a fantasy land,

saying "aye" and "verily" till she's blue in the face!

What's the point?

The point is to not be such a jerk!

Oh, right, sorry.

There's no point for us 'cause our parents are dead.

Your dad just abandoned you, so there's still hope.

- (war cry) - (metal clangs)

Do you think Asgardians really say "jerk"?

- I don't know. - Torunn: Yah!

Your magic sword doesn't scare me, Torunn.

Then allow me to put the fear of it into thee!

Man: That's enough.

Tony! I was about to tell them to break it up.

James, Torunn, go to your bungalows and cool off.

Hah hah!

You and Azari too, Pym.

Aww!

James, wait.

I know you feel trapped here with just the five of us,

but try not to take it out on your brothers and sister.

If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at me.

I'll apologize to 'em later.

Your father was never very good at doing nothing, either.

You know you can always come talk to me, James.

But it's not the same, is it?

Like you say, you're not my dad.

- (klaxon blaring) - (siren whooping)

James, go to your room!

Tony?

What's going on? What are these lights,

and that noise?

Everyone inside James's bungalow until I give the all clear!

Now!

How do you live like this, James?

Haven't you ever heard of cleaning up?

We should be out there with Tony, not hiding!

Maybe this is a new training drill. Maybe--

maybe it's Ultron.

What?

That's ridiculous. It's not Ultron.

It's probably something stupid

like a fire on the machine level

or that time Jocasta went nuts

because of the water-main leak.

It's not Ultron.

Yeah, you're right. There's no way it's--

Hello, children.

Vision!

My apologies. The drones in Ultra City have been upgraded.

One was able to damage my immaterial form as I left.

Were you followed?

Negative. Did I set off the alarms?

Perhaps my electronic access keys were damaged.

And how odd. This doesn't look like the control center.

Everything's going to be all right.

Come on, let's get you to the workshop.

Stay here.

Tony?

I know you have questions.

I promise I will explain everything, but later.

Right now I have to take care of my friend.

Please stay in your rooms.

We're gonna follow him, right?

- Yeah. - Aye.

No. No. Absolutely not.

Tony said wait, so we'll wait.

He'll explain everything.

We need to respect his wishes.

Pym, you're the tech-head. Open it up.

Did you guys know that the fountain was a secret door?

Because I didn't, and I'm way smarter than all of you.

How could we have lived here all this time and not known about this?

Pym: Come on!

Guys, we're gonna get in so much trouble.

Wah wah wah.

I think I've been here before,

when I was a kid.

I remember holding onto this rail.

I was falling. I--

I remember being scared.

Ha ha. That sounds like you, big old scaredy-- ow!

What is this?

These are our parents.

He's right. It's just like the story.

That's my dad, Giant Man!

That's James's dad, the Soldier,

and his mom, the Black Widow!

And Azari's cat-dad, the King!

There's Torunn's dad.

Wait. Maybe that's her mom.

Look at all that hair!

Huh.

Who's that?

The archer, maybe?

But the pixie is missing, and the knight.

Guys, Tony called that robot "the Vision,"

The Vision is the ghost!

Why would Tony keep this from us?

We shouldn't be in here.

If he wanted us to know about these, he'd tell us.

We should keep going if we're going to spy on him--

find him, I mean.

Wait for me!

James, come on.

James.
