Marvel's Avengers Assemble

Friday, what's next on my daily productivity calendar?

Recalibrate stingers.

Memorize current international criminal database logs.

Underwater breathing exercises.

Whoa. Sorry, Black Widow. Didn't mean to sneak up.

Just seeing if you wanted a night off.

Downtime? Tried it.

Hated it. Sorry, Hulk.

I'll stick to my calendar, thank you.

Stingers calibrated.

Anyway, this is fun.

Yeah, okay.

Maybe a little downtime would be all right.

Let's hit the town.

Not literally. Aw.

You should've brought a jacket. Kidding?

This is the only time of year the city reminds me of home.

Huh. What was that childhood like?

I can't remember much before...

The Red Room?

Before you became Black Widow?

Don't really want to talk about it.

Should've seen Banner in high school.

Nerd?

Wish I'd gone to the reunion.

Wouldn't laugh at puny Banner now.

Hulk, Widow, come in.

Go ahead, Iron Man.

We've got a level two alert in your area.

The Abomination is abominating again.

Want some backup?

(SCOFFS) Are you kidding?

We're on it.

Okay. I'll admit you were right.

That was fun.

And I needed it.

Be more fun with hot dogs.

We should take care of that before your growling stomach

causes an earthquake.

They're on me. How many you want?

One. One?

Yeah. One cart.

Hmm.

Huh? (SCREAMS)

Hey, what is that?

Widow?

Hulk?

I swear, if you ditched me on my night off...

Hulk!

Iron Man, Captain America.

Hydra's got Hulk!

Got it. Locking down your coordinates.

Be there in five. Don't have five minutes.

Going radio silent.

Ping me.

Huh?

Baron Strucker. The final piece to your plan.

Excellent, young one.

You are proving your worth.

Slowly, of course.

This was nothing.

I'm capable of so much more.

If you would just... Finally,

I have the Hulk.

With him under my control,

no one will be able to stop me.

Except me.

Your attitude has outgrown your skill.

You don't even know the value of what you brought me.

With Arnim Zola's lost program,

which I've upgraded significantly,

controlling the power of the Hulk,

I have the strongest weapon in the world.

Yes. Of course, Baron.

Prep the body for conversion.

Oh, my dear girl.

Prove yourself worthy,

and I will treat you thusly.

Care to take a look at the future of Hydra?

All my work is about to come to fruition.

And all that's left to do is watch.

You've been doing nothing but watching

for some time.

If you wish to throw a tantrum,

I can replace you with someone quieter.

You think that is your greatest creation.

I alone took down your unstoppable Hulk.

All I needed to hear.

You brought back a stray with you.

I knew you couldn't do this one simple thing right.

You're so desperate to prove yourself.

Fine. The opportunity has come to you.

What are you up to?

Black Widow,

you don't notice a sister in arms?

Your step, hers. Your attack, her counter.

Until I captured the Hulk, she was my greatest asset.

What is this, Strucker? Who is she?

Natasha Romanoff,

allow me to introduce

Yelena Belova,

the new Black Widow.

But I destroyed the Red Room program.

And I brought it back.

Let's make this a fair fight.

The program is back in full effect.

Version 2.0, if you will.

An army of soldiers with the brain,

brawn, stealth and power that only...

You careless child.

How dare you!

So that's your plan?

Turn Hulk into something like me?

Into a Widow?

Not quite.

The raw destructive force of the Hulk

transformed into a ruthless Hydra soldier.

Turn it off.

There is no turning it off. Not now.

Hulk will be my most powerful recruit yet.

I said turn it off!

We're not through.

Aah! Aah!

Huh?

Iron Man!

No!

I wasn't really planning on a trip to Siberia.

You know, they have perfectly good frozen tundra

in North America.

You're too late.

Stand down, Strucker.

Surrender to them, Yelena.

I know when you're outmatched.

But I have her.

You have nothing.

You may be well trained,

but some things you only learn from experience.

Supposed to... To be a relaxing night.

To be fair, it still probably beats

smashing rocks in Death Valley.

Something's wrong.

Quick!

Knock me out. Someone! (GROANS)

Don't let me...

You don't even know you've already lost.

What's happening?

No.

The Winter Soldier programming.

He's finally complete.

Smash.

A Hulk with martial arts skills.

I should've thought of that myself.

Don't move!

Ah, Hydra.

They really think I'm gonna listen.

So cute.

I'm attacking right at the nerve clusters, and I got nothing.

We have unfinished business.

Stop. Let my Winter Hulk take care of them.

Go prep the jet for our... No.

It ends here.

What are you doing?

What I was made for.

Infiltrating and destroying.

With the push of a button,

I will show you why I am your greatest creation.

You insolent... Quiet!

You're ruining my moment.

Hulk, it's me. It's Widow.

Are you in there?

Stop!

You may have been Strucker's brainchild,
