The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

*** that would guarantee world domination,

that could make all of baron strucker's deepest desires,

his greatest wishes, come true.

And the cosmic cube will do that

in a very real way.

What's the catch?

In order to complete the cube for hydra,

aim will need more money.

I'll get back to you.

Sorry to interrupt, boys,

but I got a quick question before I take you all down.

Where is the black widow?

a million dollars for anyone that brings me his bow.

Ow!

Drones, prepare to disembark.

I will destroy the avenger.

You can certainly try, freak show.

Can't...

Reach.

Retreat! Retreat!

Well, Clint, you really out did yourself this time.

Attention, Hawkeye.

You're to stand down by order of shield.

Director fury wants a word with you Barton.

Good, because I want a word with him, too.

The last thing I need is you sticking your nose

into a shield operation.

If I recall correctly, you quit.

We have the hydra situation under control.

Or we did,

until you showed up.

Under control?

Is that supposed to funny?

If you've got things under control, then where's black widow?

You're tapped into every phone, camera, and satellite on the planet,

and you still can't find her?

Face it fury, shield is dropping the ball big time.

Back off, Barton.

You should know better than anyone how resourceful the widow is.

She was your partner.

You think I forgot?

Leave widow and hydra to shield.

If you avengers want to go after super-villains, that's fine.

But hydra is too complicated.

You can't just take them on one at a time.

Cut off one head, two more take its place.

That's hydra.

Okay, I'm horrified to say so,

but I have to agree with fury on this one.

You have got to be kidding me.

Look, the black widow betrayed you.

She sold you out. I get it. I've been there.

But hydra is a quagmire.

If the avengers go in, we'll just make things worse.

Really? Did they teach you that in business school?

Ignoring that.

Look, we've got our hands full with the breakout.

You have to look at the big picture.

Not get caught up in revenge.

Let it go, Clint.

You need me to save the world, fine, I'll be there.

But I don't need shield for this and I don't need the avengers.

I'll find widow on my own.

Well, at least he didn't punch anyone.

Hawkeye,

wait.

Oh, now you talk.

Thanks for backing me up in there, team.

You're letting revenge blind you.

I can't believe you, of all people, are telling me not to go after hydra.

You think that's what I'm telling you?

What I'm saying is that if you take on hydra like this...

Alone,

you won't come back.

I know how isolating mistrust is.

I know that some battles must be fought alone.

But it does not hurt to have backup.

You want to help?

You know, would it have killed you two

to say any of this while I was getting chewed out

by fury and stark in there?

Still the same old charmer aren't you, hawkeye?

Nice to see you haven't matured at all since you left shield.

I, uh... I... do I... do I know...

Morse? What's with the get up, Bobbi?

I took your place on shield's special ops team,

code name mockingbird.

I've come a long way since the days of driving you around.

That was, like, three months ago.

I heard you're going after widow.

I want in.

She didn't just betray you, you know.

She betrayed the whole team.

Hawkeye, I don't think that's a good...

- You're in. - ...Idea.

At least we know his weakness now,

if he were to turn on us.

Shield has pinpointed several hydra facilities in the city.

We know the locations of multiple safe houses,

storage facilities, and...

You can stop now, ma'am.

What?

We know fury sent you to keep us busy,

to get us out of the way.

We're not after scraps, birdie.

We're after the black widow.

And to get to widow, we need to get to strucker.

If you knew, why'd you let me come along?

Huh. The costume didn't hurt.

I have the signal.

What signal?

The signal from the tracer I planted on the grim reaper,

when I was sticking my nose into shield business.

You're choice, you want to fight the good fight

or be a shield stooge?

Let's go.

I met with the fat man. He won't stand in our way.

Miss me?

I never met a man so tired of being alive.

Agh!

Agh!

You take Mr. happy. I'll handle these guys.

Hawkeye.

Hawkeye!

An avenger. Put them on the transport.

Baron strucker is gonna enjoy this.

They're in.

Mockingbird wasn't supposed to be part of this.

Hawkeye's plan is sound.

They are more valuable to hydra to alive

for now.

She just seemed like a nice lady.

So the guy says, "I don't know,

but his face rings a bell."

Ah, man, this collar really hurts.

You think you can just loosen it a bit?

I mean, it's not like I'm going anywhere.

Don't.

And if you don't keep your mouth shut,

I'll shut it permanently.

Huh, I'm impressed.

That was a good joke.

You know, this is a pretty big gamble even with your avenger pals tracking us.

So why'd you come?

Hmm, the costume had a lot to do with it.

Hrm.

Is everything okay?

The reapers tracking signal has stopped transmitting.

We have lost radar and visual on the hydra ship.

And hawkeye's id card.

Report.

I've made contact with the Yashida clan in Japan,

run by a man named gorgon.

They seemed open to negotiation.

I have begun talks with count nefaria and his maggia,

as well as the industrialist Alexander lukin,

who has strong ties to the Russian underworld.

Both are eager to keep peace with hydra.

Of course they are. Word spreads of hydra's power.

And when aim finishes construction of...

Enough.

Reaper.

Would you like the good news first or the bad?

The bad news is that modoc want's more money.

The good news

is that hydra's captured an avenger.

This world will know hydra's power.

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