Previously on Avengers...
The infiltration has begun.
We have to work together to escape this place...
and get back to Earth.
Once the Skrull threat is over...
we will be enemies again.
The Skrulls will save the Earth itself.
You lied to the Avengers...
to the whole world, all using my face!
The Skrulls turned you against each other.
Broken friendships, broken trust...
take much longer to heal.
We got the call about an hour ago.
It got hit in the Skrull invasion?
No, sir. We checked security cameras.
It was pushed over by an angry mob.
Everyday people did this.
Subtitles: Nakor38.
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.
♪ Assembled we are strong ♪
♪ forever fight as one. ♪
Avengers, assemble!
Traitor? Are you serious?
Wrote it myself!
We've been over this Jameson! It wasn't Cap!
- It was a... - Shape-shifting alien.
I know. I heard you.
You want the Daily Bugle's readers to believe...
that Captain America who went on TV all over the world...
telling mankind to enslave themselves...
to an alien race called Skrulls...
was actually an alien himself.
But now he's not an alien.
It's kind of hard to believe.
by SHIELD, by the president of the United States himself...
that it wasn't Cap!
Are you sure they're not aliens too?
- You're the publisher of one of the biggest... - THE biggest!
ONE of the biggest newspapers in New York.
And this is what you're doing?
You've been doing the same thing to Spider-man for years!
Spider-man is a masked menace!
You Avengers, the Fantastic Four, you're all vigilantes!
You're not real heroes like astronauts, or police officers, or firemen!
Or newspapers publishers.
Look at you Stark. You've got money...
ooh, and a fancy suit.
You think you're above the law? Well, you're not!
You want the truth to come out?
Then you do it the same way everybody else does.
Prove it! Get me an interview with your alien!
Preferably little and green and dressed like Captain America!
SHIELD has them in custody. They're not gonna let that happen.
It's too dangerous.
[sighs] But... I can get you an exclusive with the real Captain America.
Miss Brant!
I'm kind of busy, Jonah.
Yeah, with this!
Tony Stark here is gonna take you to interview Captain America.
Pull a photographer from the pool.
Whoa, hold on! I didn't say today!
I'm meeting with SHIELD about building a new base. And besides...
Cap's not available. He's overseeing a prisoner transfer.
All of the photographers are out on assignment.
There was a full scale invasion of alien shape-shifters, if you recall.
Supposed shape-shifters.
Tomorrow's headline is: Captain America, Benedict Arnold.
If you want it to be different this interview happens today!
Parker!!!!!!
Is he always like this?
Hello?
Parker, here, is one of our best photographers.
Take him and Brant to Captain America...
and The Bugle will print the truth!
Whether he's a traitor or a collaborator.
I mostly work on the Bugle's website.
Whatever kid, let's go.
This is their photographer? He's 10 years old!
I'm 17.
Respect your elders, punk.
What's going on here?
SHIELD set up shop here since the helicarrier went down.
We're just helping transport a few random super villains to the Baxter Building.
Why would you take them there?
Classified.
Is it safe?
No, it's not. And there's no way you're coming with us, kid.
- So take off. - No pictures, no deal. He's coming.
OK Miss Brant, everything's cool. You can talk to Cap.
But you'll have to do it on ...
- Here, traitor, - Get lost, you lousy ***! - ... stinking traitor!
We've got a schedule to meet people.
Quartermain to all SHIELD agents. It's 28 blocks to the Baxter Building.
It's a walk in the park.
I'll handle the prisoners and Hawkeye's up top keeping an eye on things.
So be careful out there.
I understand you wanted to ask me a few questions, ma'am.
A few questions?
Captain, what happened?
Everyone on the planet thinks that you told the world...
to surrender to an invading force!
How do you respond to that?
I take full responsibility.
Do you, maybe, want to elaborate on that?
Not really.
Please?
- What happened? What was... - Cap, we've got trouble!
It's the Serpent Society!
What's going on?
The Serpent Society is trying to free Viper and Cobra!
Woo, get them out of here!
Peter?
Quartermain, stay with the prisoners!
We'll handle this!
Quartermain!
Well, well... if it isn't Captain America!
Kind of funny.
We're supposed to be the snakes.
But you... you tried to sell out the whole planet!
What's going on up there?
Anaconda? Anaconda!
Cap, I'm here to save... wow!
What were you saying, son?
I'm here. You know, to save you.
Ah, Cap... We're in trouble.
- Are you OK? - Yeah.
Except for the pain, yeah.
So, we've never really met before but...
- My name is... - I know who you are, Spider-man.
Come on. We've got work to do.
Right, wow...
Never really met before? Idiot!
Hang on, Clay. Spider-man?
Help agent Quartermain. I'll check on the prisoners.
I'm Spider-man!
What's wrong with your voice?
Help!
Somebody help us!
Does anybody have a phone? I left mine in my other pants.
The radio in your truck didn't make it.
And the Avengers ID cards aren't working after...
the Mansion's systems were destroyed.
We can't count on backup anytime soon.
It's up to us to get these people to safety.
Get away from me!
- I'm sorry. I was just trying to... - Just back off freak!
You're probably the reason we're in this mess!
Everyone just calm down.
- We're going to get you out of here. - You?
You're gonna sell us out! I saw what you said on TV!
You're no hero! You're a traitor!
Hey, he's trying to help you! We both are!
That wasn't Cap. It was an alien.
Spider-man, it's OK.
- No, but... - Let it go.
Everybody listen.
We're in one of the old flood control tunnels under the subway system.
It's not looking too stable so we...
need to get out of here before there's another cave-in.
There should be access ladders every mile or so.
I suggest we get walking.
I got a light. Knew this thing would come in handy someday.
Spider-man will take point.
Anyone who wants to wait for rescue is welcome to stay here.
But I don't recommend it.
No way *** anyways.
Something funny, Viper?
Look how easily the people turn on their heroes.
Whereas my people, the Society...
they will never stop trying to free me.
Keep it moving.
The only place you're going is behind bars.
Here, take this, I'm gonna go talk to Cap.
What? You're just going to leave us up here alone?
There is nothing to worry about.
Except snake monsters.
OK, we got trouble.
And I don't think it's the tunnel collapsing.
I've got a kind of sense about these things.
It's all around us.
Although it could be our cranky friends back there.
Thanks for the heads up.
Cap, why aren't you defending yourself?
The news is all over you. Everyone thinks it was you.
They say worse things about you.
Yeah, and it's horrible.
How could you be so... so not upset about this?
I know who you are.
I talked to the police, the firemen.
The people that you helped.
And I heard their stories about how you saved lives.
How you never asked for recognition. Or reward. Or even thanks.
It doesn't matter what the newspapers say or the politicians or the whole world.
They don't define who you are. You do.
And not by your words but by your actions.
The truth will come out, but until then...
I'm going to keep fighting.
Just like you do.
Can I be your sidekick?
Cap!
It's over, Captain.
You'll release me right now or every single person here...
will suffer the consequences.
Decide, Captain.
My freedom, or these people's lives.
Are you crazy! Just let her go!
Cap?
Now!
Destroy them all!
Miss, and a miss, miss!
Wait a minute! How many arms do you have?
Quartermain, get the civilians out of here!
Go! Go!
All right, here's the thing...
the whole snake motif doesn't work if you have claws!
No! Please, no!
Cap!
Hey, I thought your shield was supposed to be undentable.
And round, for that matter.
It's temporary.
Get to Quartermain. Help him! I'll hold them off.
I'm on it!
Heads up, smiley.
Wow! Sorry about that!
But, hey, you're more snaky like this.
Hey! No bite!
No!
Go! Have to... run!
But where?
- Cap! - The tunnel has collapsed on both ends.
- We have to... - Behind you.
You seem to be in quite a bit of trouble, Captain.
You're dumb. This whole place is gonna collapse.
Snakes are good at getting out of tight spots.
- Start with the civilians. - You want these people?
Then you have to go through me!
No!
Get away from him!
Cap!
Serpent Society, withdraw!
Cap?
- Hang on. - I can't
I can't. It's too heavy.
It's gonna fall. I can't do it anymore.
Yes, you can.
You've never quit before, you're not going to start now. Do you hear me?
You have to hold!
Hey, you guys OK?
We would have been here sooner but the cave-in...
destabilized a few of the surrounding buildings.
[groans] Yeah, we're fine.
In fact, I'm just gonna hang down here...
Captain America saves New York from Spider-man and the Serpent Society?
Are you kidding me?!
The people you saved know the truth.
I know the truth.
And the truth always comes out.
Yeah, sure. What matters is what I do, right?
Right.
What I'm gonna do right now is go find J. Jonah Jameson...
and web his mouth shut!
I'm OK with that.
