The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

Previously on Avengers....

We must move up our timetable. The Kree are coming.

Hail HYDRA!

What does it mean?

It means we got a big problem.

Fury was the only one who knew the truth, and he's disappeared.

Widow, I don't buy it.

- Agent Hill. - Director Hill.

I want the Avengers registered and working for SHIELD.

2x07 - Who do you trust?

Maria. Relax.

We're not going to hurt you.

I've got about 90 seconds before SHIELD security detects us,

so you need to listen.

I'm here to give you a warning. Watch your back.

I've been keeping an eye on you, Maria, ever since I left.

I'm taking a big risk here.

Maybe you're human, maybe you're not.

But bottom line, I'm running out of time.

If you're human, then the Earth needs you.

Everything I know is on there.

You can't trust SHIELD.

You can't trust the government.

Hydra and AIM have been infiltrated,

and worst of all, the super-heroes.

Everyone has been compromised.

I always liked you, Hill. Try and stay alive.

Director Hill! Is everything okay?

And there came a day unlike any other,

when Earth's mightiest heroes found themselves united

against a common threat.

On that day, they became the Avengers:

The invincible, armored Iron Man,

Thor, Prince of Thunder,

The Hulk, strongest hero there is,

and Captain America, the first Avenger.

Avengers, assemble!

Okay. So I'd like to make a toast.

Well, less of a toast, more like a welcome.

A welcome toast.

Wow. You're really bad at this.

Well, I'm really good at you just got fired speeches, Hawkeye,

if you catch my drift?

I'd like to officially welcome Ms. Marvel to the Avengers.

You've been with us two weeks now,

and have already saved the planet twice.

So we're even considering taking you off probationary status.

Considering it. Don't get cocky.

I'm just glad there's finally another girl on the team.

Hear, hear.

Thanks, guys. Really, this means a lot to me.

But, uh, do you have someone at the Mansion?

You know, in case of random evil?

Hmm. We have regular monitor duty assignments.

Uh. Hulk is on tonight.

And the Black Panther is on Hulk duty.

You talk too much.

I've been looking for you, Mister Horton.

You probably can't even understand me, but I need your help.

I need you to do something for me.

But the only way you're going to do it

is if I give you the worst earache you've ever had in your life.

Sorry.

This is Quake. Phase one is go.

So I joined the Air Force out of high school.

They paid for college, but I re-enlisted anyway so I could fly jets.

I loved flying jets.

What was your squadron name?

The hundred and second, the best of the best.

Major Carol Danvers, call sign Warbird.

They pulled me into Special Investigations not long after.

They knew I was a big believer in the law and order.

Without rules, we've got nothing.

Major? That means she outranks you, old man.

And as a SWORD field commander,

I outrank you back when you did ops for SHIELD.

I like you already, Major.

Check, please.

Come on, Ms. Marvel, party's over. Time for the after-party.

You are way too excited about a giant monster flying down the street.

You guys go ahead, I'll catch up once I've got my armor.

Make sure the newbie does all the hard work.

- Tony, thanks. - Go get 'em, Carol.

I'm going to need about 10 pizzas to go.

The Hulk will tear me apart if I come home without food.

You're not going home.

This is Widow. I've got him.

Wha... Widow? What's going on? Where am I?

You're in a safe place.

You've been out for about 20 minutes.

Fury?

What's going on here?

Where have you been all this time?

What's the Black Widow doing here?

And where is here?

My personal safe house.

One of the ones that SHIELD doesn't know about.

As to what's going on I'm going to show you.

This is a Skrull.

A shape shifting alien that can take the appearance of anyone.

They're invading Earth. It's already started.

Stop. Just... Just back up.

Start at the beginning. Where did this thing come from?

- Uh. Space. - Cute.

It was actually because of you Avengers

that we found out about the Skrull in the first place.

Hawkeye decided to go after the Black Widow against orders.

He tracked her to Hydra Island.

He didn't know she was working undercover for me at the time.

But while the Avengers were messing up months of work

Mockingbird took down Madame Viper.

When Viper hit the ground, I was going to go back to help your team.

But then I saw it.

Viper changed, right in front of me.

She changed into this.

And then Mockingbird did the single most sensible thing

that any agent of SHIELD has ever done.

She kept it quiet and brought it to me.

So if one of these things got inside Hydra...

At that point, I realized that anyone,

anywhere, could be a Skrull.

It doesn't make sense. How do you know this?

How do you even know this is Skrull?

I'm assuming this one isn't talking.

Pulled this off it. Some kind of comm device.

It's fried, but we've been able to get some data from it.

A bunch of hissing, actually,

but the word "Skrull" shows up a lot.

We've been able to determine that Viper

received communications from two locations.

One of them was the SHIELD Helicarrier,

and the other... I've got to get back to my team.

Tony. The other communication came from your Mansion.

The Avengers have been infiltrated.

He's all yours, team.

Alright, kitty cat, I don't want to hurt you...

- We should help. - Why?

Did you even read her file? She's as tough as Thor

and almost as strong as the Hulk.

I'm pretty sure she can handle this.

But more importantly, I'm not the low man on the totem pole anymore.

She is.

Oh. Carol, you're doing it wrong!

You're supposed to get out of the way.

Yeah, it works better if you tackle the monster,

not the other way around.

And if it tries to bite you, you should not let it.

Are you sure you've done this before?

Very funny, you guys.

In my day, we gave new recruits a hard time,

but nothing like this.

In my day it was worse.

You're doing great! Watch out for his tail!

I get it. That's fine.

I'm not afraid of the dirty work.

Okay. Let's do this, ugly.

Baron Strucker was going to execute us both.

They will know, that not even the Avengers can stand against us.

But Madame Viper stopped him.

She suggested to Strucker they keep Hawkeye alive.

We were taken to the dungeons, where they separated us.

Why?

She said he might be useful.
