Secret Invasion

Previously on Avengers Skrulls are here. And Fury thinks one of you has been replaced by one. Maria, if you're human then the Earth needs you. You can't trust SHIELD. Hydra and A. I. M. have been infiltrated, and worst of all the superheroes. If you A. I. M. scientists are as smart as you say, figure out how to fly that thing. The humans have escaped. What Captain America did there he took mortal enemies and unite them. This is the key to subjugating the humans. 2x12 - Secret Invasion Sir, the satellite at coordinates C-21 has been hacked. G-0-5 is ready, sir. That's the last one. The planet's entire satellite array is AIM's, at your command. - Excellent. - Scientist Supreme, I was running the numbers on these frequencies. And? Once the satellite array we've modified is activated, it'll wipe out every human on the planet. Everyone. There's no defense against it. That is correct. But won't we get wiped out, too? Yes. As it is written. 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. Assemble, we are strong forever fight as one. Avengers, assemble! Quartermain. Agent Quartermain. Clay! What did you do? Nice work, Clay. Can you get us down to the surface? We have to warn the world. We can dock with the SWORD space station and send warning from there. They may be compromised, but it's the closest option we've got. We have a new contact. Damocles is beginning analysis. Hmm? Damocles Base, teleport all SWORD personnel off the station, now! Maria Hill to all Helicarrier personnel. Omega priority, if there are any humans left on this crate, evac right now. How disappointing. I liked you, Maria. You could have held a position of power among the human slaves. When all this is over, I'm going to get a T-shirt made. Know what it's going to say? Eliminate her. It'll say, "Nick Fury was right. " It won't be long now, can you feel it? I know you do. After all, we couldn't have done this without you, Anthony. You were what held the Avengers together, and without you they were so easy to eliminate, one by one. Stupid controller. As it is written. I've had the same car since I was Yet this thing falls out of the sky every other Thursday. There is a Quinjet approaching, and our Wakandan contingent isn't reporting. The remaining Avengers must have survived. Divert them to Washington. I want them to witness this. I understand, my Queen. Captain America, out. We're five minutes out from D. C. What's happening? Another Skrull ship just touched down. I'm on my way now. Cap out. We need to call Iron Man. We need to bring in Hank, and the Fantastic Four, and And what? And if they help us, then they're the good guys! - Nice landing. - Thanks. - Where is everyone? - There's nobody here. Then they're smarter than us. Well, at least we know they're Skrulls, right? Anyone want to surrender? Didn't think so. Told you I wasn't a Skrull. If we survive this, I'll apologize. Now! Nicholas, I've enjoyed watching the master spy fail so badly at his own game. You let your enemy know everything you knew, every move you made, but now it's over. You and your Secret Warriors have played your part. Glad to help. Good-bye. How'd you find me? I found you two months ago. I just didn't tell anyone. The Skrulls have taken down the Helicarrier, SWORD, a few dozen military installations around the globe, and something really bad happened to the Baxter Building. Oh, and the remaining Avengers? They're about to get taken out in D. C. - Do we have a plan? - Iron Man is the plan. All we have to do is save his life. - How how did - Focus. What now? - Take it out. - Take what out? My my heart. Don't you need that to, you know, live? Are you getting this? Easy. Take it easy. We're all friends here. No. You. All this time, you were the Skrull! Broadcast this. This message is for all of humanity. My name is Captain America. I'm one of you. I've spent my life fighting for freedom, for liberty, for the human right to live. But something has happened. An alien race has traveled across the universe to come here. They've made contact with governments all around the world, and they're not here to hurt us. They're here to save us from ourselves. They see that our planet is on the brink of disaster, but they also see the potential in us. And these people, the Skrulls, they want to help. Where we've failed, they'll succeed. They'll eliminate hunger, poverty, disease, war, and the Skrulls will save the Earth itself. And all we have to do is let them. This is what they offer. Our ways aren't working. I ask you now, my friends, embrace change. They're good, I'll give 'em that. I've lost access to all SHIELD satellite communications. The Skrulls must have overridden them. How we doing? Metal shop wasn't my strong suit. Almost there. Just bypass the last wire Which wire? Stark? Stark? Which one. Which one. That one. Thanks. - What now? - What now? Now we go take out every single Skrull on this planet, right after I call a friend. You're gonna pay for this. If you've hurt Mockingbird, or any of the people you've taken What? What will you do? You saw Captain America's message. We're here to help. We'll give humanity the option. The ones that surrender to us, they'll live. Those who resist, they won't. But your people, they believe in Captain America. They trust Captain America. And Captain America will deliver this world to me. I don't think so, Skrull! This is our world and you can't have it. And who do you think the humans will believe? The damage is already done, I think, because you humans believe what you see. Let the people see you now. It does not matter because none of you will leave here alive. You are outnumbered and out-matched. None of you will survive my Super Skrulls. Is that so, creature? We shall see. Avengers, assemble! Commander, all systems are failing! The power core has been overloaded! For Midgard! Ho, Iron Man! It would seem my return to Midgard was timely. What, you mean this? This is nothing. But, since you're already here, you might as well stick around and help out. Good to have you back, Thor. - Are we even now? - No. You! You lied to the Avengers, to the whole world, all using my face! I didn't do anything. You did. Agent X'iv, Washington has been compromised. Your Queen is at risk. Activate the failsafe. That should teach these primates a lesson. Understood, My Queen. - No. No! - Jarvis, scan for Iron Man! The satellites they've got control of the satellite, Thor. They're using our satellites to attack every human on the planet! Take them down, now! You can't possibly think you can beat me. We're the same. I have your strength, your skill. I know every thought you have. There's more to human beings than our bodies and minds. Something you'll never understand, our spirit! We never surrender. We never give up. Ever! No, no. It's over. Surrender. I don't understand, it was written. The prophecies foretold it, they said Earth would be ours. How can this be? Write that. SHIELD bases were hit hard worldwide by sleeper agents. We've got reinforcements coming in to secure the world's capitols. The Baxter Building was sucked into another dimension, but Invisible Woman was able to get in and help the Fantastic Four reverse it. Brand was able to evacuate all the SWORD personnel before the Skrulls took down Damocles base. They're prepping a temporary base now to start the search for any Skrulls left on Earth. I passed on my detection tech their man Sydren. They're mass producing it now. They won't be able to hide. What of these Super-Skrulls? Their power is great. Agreed. We're holding them in a special section of 42 until we can figure out what to do with them. So bottom line? We just saved the world from an alien invasion. We won. Cap? Yeah, we won. But not without paying a price. The Skrulls turned you against each other. Broken bones, destroyed buildings these things are easily repaired. But broken friendships, broken trust Wounds such as these take much longer to heal.
