Marvel Genesis: Avengers

Scene 1: Outdoor Cafe


SOUND: various conversations can be heard in the background.

Becca
I already had my stuff delivered to our room on campus. I am so ready for the year to start!

ANGELICA
Yeah, I wonder how classes are going to be.

BECCA
You're worried about classes? I am talking about the guys Angelica. The parties! We're freshman...this is like a throwaway year for us.

ANGELICA
Well not all of us are inheriting an empire after college and can slack off. I need to get my degree to get a job.

BECCA
There's no guarentee you will even get one with a degree. Just gimme a call and I'll get you a job at one of my family's hotels.

ANGELICA
I doubt it Becca. I'd rather make my own way. My mom always told me...(feeling sick here)...told me...

BECCA
Are you OK?

ANGELICA
I-I think so.

WAITRESS
Is your meal OK ladies?

BECCA
Obviously not. Look at her, she is sweating like a pig!

ANGELICA
I feel...hot...

SOUND: A swoosh-like sound as fire engulfs Angelica.

BECCA
What the hell? Angelica, you're on fire! Quick, stop, drop and roll or something! And you, don't just stand there lady, throw some water on her!

SOUND: Water splashing, hissing as it evaporates.

BECCA
Angelica!

ANGELICA
It's OK...I-I can turn it off. I just have to calm down and concentrate.


BECCA
The fire, it's going down...it was...from you??

ANGELICA
Becca, I-

BECCA
You're one of them! One of those mutant freaks! They're all over the news and you're one of them!

ANGELICA
Becca-

BECCA
You stay away from me!

SOUND: Heavy footsteps approaching.

Cop
Excuse me miss. We're going to need you to come with us.

ANGELICA
What? Let go of me! What are you doing?

COP
You're under arrest.

ANGELICA
For what?

COP
Attempted arson. Now come on.

SOUND: The background conversations have switched to comments about mutants, as the heavy footsteps fade.

WAITRESS
More coffee sir?

Nick Fury
Yes, thank you.


WAITRESS
Can you believe that? A real life mutant here. I thought they were made up to get ratings.

NICK FURY
Nope, they are very real.

WAITRESS
And look at you. Mr. Calm. Like seeing a mutant on fire didn't phase you one bit.

NICK FURY
Trust me, I have seen worse.

SOUND: cell phone ringing.

NICK FURY
This is Fury.

Black Widow
Colonel.

NICK FURY
Operative Widow. You should not be using this line to contact me.

BLACK WIDOW
You were not answering official lines and this is important. We need to meet. There is trouble.

Scene 2: Waterfront

SOUND: WATER.

NICK FURY
Cliche, but it works.

BLACK WIDOW
Colonel Fury, we have a problem with North Korea.

NICK FURY
We always have a problem with North Korea. And them detonating nukes recently didn't help matters.

BLACK WIDOW
Well I had been keeping tabs on them from over there recently and I saw them recieve some unusual deliveries. Biological.

NICK FURY
And the point of origin?

BLACK WIDOW
Possibly Germany.


Scene 3: Briefing Room

SOUND: A pen tapping on a desk.

Walker
Bo! Enough with the tapping already!

Franks
Sorry John. You know how I get before a mission.

Danvers
We all have our habits. Ease up seargent.

WALKER
He's getting on my nerves and I don't need them rattled.

SOUND: Door opens and closes.

All
Colonel Fury.

NICK FURY
You read the mission briefing?

WALKER
North Korea is adding biological weaponry.

NICK FURY
We don't know for certain and do not need speculation.

WALKER
Who wants to speculate? I say we bomb them like we should have done when that sawed-off nutcase dictator starting flapping his gums years ago. We're going to war with them eventually.

DANVERS
Yeah with that kind of thinking.

WALKER
Don't take shots at me because I have the balls to do what needs to be done Carol.

DANVERS
That's Major Danvers, Seargent Walker. I have rank and you will respect it!

NICK FURY
Enough, both of you! This is not a pissing contest. This is real world shit here so knock it off!

Danvers/Walker
Sir.

NICK FURY
We don't know what they are doing there but I want you to find out. You go in and get the usual video, audio, everything and you get out clean. Understood?

ALL
Sir.

NICK FURY
I want you in the air in 20 minutes. Move out.

SOUND: Door opens. Footsteps as the squad files out.

NICK FURY
Major.

DANVERS
Sir?

NICK FURY
You watch it over there and you watch him. If the mission goes south, you know what will happen.

DANVERS
Yes I do sir. And it won't.

NICK FURY
Good.


Scene 4: North Korean Lab

SOUND: Lab equipment

Commander Kim
How are the test subjects?

Scientist
Amazing. Their speed, strength, stamina has increased ten-fold since the injection of the DNA.

Commander KIm
Amazing indeed. I am glad to hear the German came through.

SOUND: Lab door slides open. Footsteps.

Baron Strucker
I'm hurt Commander. You actually doubted my word?

COMMANDER KIM
You come from one of the countries who has saw fit to oppress the leadership of my country. You'll pardon my skepticism.

BARON STRUCKER
Come from, but do not agree with the current regime.

COMMANDER KIM
Touche. I am very impressed with the results of the DNA enhancement. This is proving to be a good partnership.

BARON STRUCKER
Well Commander, you provide the lab equipment and the test subjects and I provide you the most important piece, DNA from the frozen corpse of America's first and only super soldier. Captain America.

COMMANDER KIM
I heard stories of him growing up. He perished in Germany.

BARON STRUCKER
He failed to save himself when battling the Red Skull. My organization un-earthed his body last year. The frozen block of ice we found it in preserved the body. We had begun reverse engineering but ran into a number of roadblocks.

COMMANDER KIM
The negative results of the serum I imagine. It has already killed a number of the test subjects.

BARON STRUCKER
As I figured it would. You'll forgive me if a reason for our arrangement was the preservation of my own countrymen. Once you perfect the formula I am happy to properly compensate you for your losses.

COMMANDER KIM
Yes, well we are close. Come, let us discuss this compensation.


SOUND: lab door slides open. Footsteps fade as the two men leave.

BLACK WIDOW
That was Baron Strucker. Holy shit.

FRANKS (through comm-link)
I'll say. The body of Captain America? Using his DNA to make super soldiers? Man I need a second to process all this.

WALKER (through comm-link)
Get over it Franks. We have to locate the body and get it out of here. I am going after Strucker and the Commander.

DANVERS (Through comm-link)
No. Our mission is to collect data. Bo, you link up with Widow and get the visual data. Try and get into their computers, find the body location. And then we get out of here.

WALKER (THROUGH COMM-LINK)
I'm not going to sit here and twiddle my thumbs.

DANVERS (THROUGH COMM-LINK)
Walker don't do anything. Walker? Seargent? Dammit! Widow, Bo, move quick. I will try and find him.


Scene 5: Truck

SOUND: Rapid fire typing.

FRANKS
Sounds like we're going to be getting out of here hot. Makes me sorry we have to take this damn ice cream truck to the extraction point.

Guard
Check point, this is Unit 3-2, I am looking at a vehicle that should not be in this zone. Investigating. Over.

FRANKS
OK Widow, I am dialed into you. Just run your pocket cam and the images will be sent to the computer here.

Widow (THROUGH COMM-LINK)
Right.

SOUND: truck DOOR OPENS.

GUARD
What are you doing there?

FRANKS
Oh shit!

VOICE: gun fire. Automatic fire, followed by a quick handgun pop.

DANVERS (THROUGH COMM-LINK)
What the hell was that? Everyone check in.

FRANKS
It...it was me Major...I think we have been made. I'm hit. Pretty...pretty bad...I...

DANVERS (THROUGH COMM-LINK)
Franks? Bo?! Dammit. Everyone out. Widow, Walker, abort and fallback to extraction point now!


Scene 5: Commander Kim's Office

COMMANDER KIM
About this compensation Baron, I would assume it would be an understanding that you would not use your resources in aggression against my country.

BARON STRUCKER
Likewise Commander. I am sure our plans are vastly different anyway. And we can talk things out like civilized men whenever there may be the possibility of interaction.

COMMANDER KIM
I agree.

SOUND: Alarm klaxons begin to wail.

COMMANDER KIM
What in the world?

SOUND: activates comm-link

COMMANDER KIM
What is going on? What caused the alarm?

GUARD (through comm-link)
American forces have been discovered on site sir.

COMMANDER KIM

Secure the lab at once. Find them and kill them!

BARON STRUCKER
An American black ops team. Highly trained I am sure. It might be too much for your guards.

COMMANDER KIM
Nothing is too much for me. I knew once I started down this route I would have to upgrade my security force.

SOUND: a second comm-link is activated.

COMMANDER KIM
Electrix...Dragonfly...we have intruders. Fine and eliminate them.


Scene 6: Laboratory

SOUND: Heavy gunfire back and forth in the lab.

BLACK WIDOW
I'm pinned down in front of the lab!

DANVERS (THROUGH COMM-LINK)
Walker, use the locater, assist Widow out of here.

WALKER (THROUGH COMM-LINK)
A little busy Major. Do it yourself.


DANVERS (THROUGH COMM-LINK)
Dammit. Hold tight Widow I am on my way.

GUARD (THROUGH COMM-LINK)
Stop right there!

DANVERS (THROUGH COMM-LINK)
No!

SOUND: Several rounds are fired. A body hits the ground.

GUARD (THROUGH COMM-LINK)
She's dead. Find the rest! Go!

BLACK WIDOW
No! Walker, we don't have time for your insubordination crap. It's just me and you. Now converage on my signal and let's go!

WALKER (THROUGH COMM-LINK)
Fine.

SOUND: a grenade explosion, followed by footsteps running.

BLACK WIDOW
That concussion grenade got me past them, now I just have to survive to get out of here!


Scene 7: Hall

SOUND: Footsteps coming in as Walker makes it. He fires a few shots behind to cover himself.

WALKER
Widow?

SOUND: Footsteps as Widow joins Walker.

BLACK WIDOW
Take cover behind those crates, there are more behind me!

SOUND: footsteps then gunfire for a few moments. There are several hits and silence not long after.

BLACK WIDOW
Walker?

WALKER
I'm OK. Took a bullet to the shoulder, but I've had worse. Let's move it.

Electrix
Tsk tsk tsk. Look at the mess you have made of the place. Bullet holes and blood everywhere.

BLACK WIDOW
Who the hell are they? They aren't dressed like North Korean guard.

WALKER
They're dressed for holloween.

Dragonfly
You can make this easier on yourselves if you just kill yourselves now. We're just going to make you suffer. A lot.

WALKER
Fat chance!

SOUND: walker squeezes off a few rounds. A moment later, Electrix returns fire with a burst of electricity. His body lands in a heap on the floor.

BLACK WIDOW
Walker!

DRAGONFLY
I'd worry more about myself if I were you. While Electrix likes to shoot from a distance, much like you American soldiers do. I like things up close and personal.

SOUND: Dragonfly unsheaths a sword.

DRAGONFLY
Rrraaaah!

SOUND: hand to hand fighting sounds. The swishing of the sword and the sound of it hitting Black Widow's armored forearms.

ELECTRIX
Hmm, are you still alive there? Maybe I need to turn up the voltage.

WALKER
Long...long as you turn down your mouth.

SOUND: Electrical blast. Followed bY Walker screaming.

DRAGONFLY
You've got skill, I will give you that. But I'm just a little faster and more agile then you average ordinary person.

SOUND: a couple quick hits and the sound of Black Widow hitting the ground.

DRAGONFLY
You lasted much longer than I expected. I will give you that. Near as I can tell I broke your nose, a few ribs, punctured a lung and swelled your right eye shut.

BLACK WIDOW
A little blood is not going to slow me down.

SOUND: A swift kick to Black Widow's stomach.

BLACK WIDOW
Ooof!


DRAGONFLY
You and your bravado. I know you can smell your comrad's flesh burning. The rest of your team is dead. You might as well give up.

SOUND: a small device hitting the ground. A moment later the device explodes. Smoke dissipates.

DRAGONFLY
Ah you bitch! Electrix, get her, I can't see anything from the blast.

ELECTRIX
Well I can't see through the smoke.


Scene 9: Jungle

SOUND: boots crunching over sticks and leaves. Black Widow pants as she runs.

BLACK WIDOW
Have to activate...the tracking signal...extraction point...half mile ahead...

SOUND: Black widow activating the tracking unit on her belt.

BLACK WIDOW
Can't black out...have to...keep running...almost there...

SOUND: Aircraft engine overhead.

BLACK WIDOW
Made it.

SOUND: Black WIdow hits the ground.

Pilot
Get her in here now and let's get the hell out of here!
