HEADS UP, ROOKIE!
COME ON, OLD-TIMER.
[ LAUGHS ]
YEAH, RIGHT!
WHAT A SHOT!
LET ME SHOW YOU
HOW AN EXPERT DOES IT.
NOT BAD...
FOR A BEGINNER.
DO YOU ALWAYS WORK OUT
WITH THIS ROOM SET ON "LOW"?
SO, YOU WANT
TO HEAT THINGS UP?
[ LAUGHS ]
HEY!
THIS STUFF'S REAL!
WHAT'S THE MATTER, FLY GUY --
CAN'T TAKE THE PRESSURE?
[ BEEPING ]
[ GASPS ]
Hawkeye: UH-OH.
THINGS JUST GOT
A LITTLE TOO HOT.
I- I CAN'T MAKE IT!
HANG ON!
I'M COMING!
[ BEEPING ]
AAAAAH!
OHH.
[ GROANS ]
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, MAN?!
YOU ALMOST GOT US KILLED.
HEY! BACK OFF!
I'VE KNOWN GUYS LIKE YOU
MY WHOLE LIFE!
YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!
YOU'RE STILL
WET BEHIND THE EARS!
I WASN'T SO WET WHEN I HAD TO
SAVE THE PRESIDENT.
Ant-Man: AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE.
Sikorsky:
AVENGERS, THE MYTHRAX BACTERIUM
IS ONE OF THE DEADLIEST
KNOWN TO MAN.
ITS EFFECTS
ON PLANT AND HUMAN LIFE
ARE SWIFT AND DEVASTATING.
IT DESTROYS
ANYTHING ORGANIC.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT
SO SERIOUS
AS AN AGENT
OF BIOLOGICAL WARFARE.
OUR GOVERNMENT
IS STUDYING THIS BACTERIUM
BECAUSE SOME OF OUR MOST
POWERFUL ENEMIES WOULD USE IT.
AND WE DON'T HAVE A CURE.
Tigra:
WHOA. BOY, SIKORSKY!
YOU'RE JUST FULL OF GOOD NEWS,
AREN'T YOU?
Sikorsky: IT GETS WORSE.
WE'RE AFRAID AGENTS
OF THOSE ENEMY REGIMES
ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR RECENT BREAK-INS
AT SEVERAL
GOVERNMENT RESEARCH LABS.
OH, PLEASE TELL ME
ALL THEY STOLE WERE
TONGUE DEPRESSORS.
SORRY.
IT WAS ALL MYTHRAX.
DURING THE LAST ROBBERY,
ONE DROPPED CANISTER DID THIS.
YOUR COUNTRY DESPERATELY NEEDS
THE AVENGERS
TO PREVENT THIS
FROM HAPPENING AGAIN.
[ BEEP ]
OKAY, LET'S SEE --
WE HAVE SEVEN THEFTS
IN SEVEN CITIES.
HMM.
YES, BUT WHAT MATCHES UP
IN EACH CITY, JAN?
WELL, IT'S THE USUAL --
CHAIN STORES,
FAST-FOOD RESTAURANTS,
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAMS.
DOUBLEHEADER
AND A MYTHRAX HEIST?
[ Chuckling ]
NAH, I DON'T THINK SO.
[ BEEPS ]
WAIT A SECOND.
HERE'S SOMETHING.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
WHAT IS IT, HAWKEYE?
Sikorsky:
DOES HE HAVE TO BE IN HERE?
Hawkeye: AFTER ALL I'VE GIVEN
THIS TEAM, I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!
HAWKEYE! REMEMBER WHAT
HAPPENED TO THE PRESIDENT.
HAWKEYE,
PROTECT THE PRESIDENT.
GET DOWN,
MR. PRESIDENT.
NOT GOOD.
OHH!
AAAH!
AAAH!
HUH?
HAWKEYE, I TOLD YOU
TO PROTECT THE PRESIDENT.
LEAVING YOUR POST
GOT THE PRESIDENT HURT.
HE AND HIS DAUGHTER
COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!
SORRY.
Hawkeye:
THAT WAS IN THE PAST!
I'VE LIVED THAT DOWN!
I DO NOT WANT THIS GUY
TO BRING THE TEAM DOWN.
I'VE HAD IT.
THAT'S IT.
I DON'T AGREE WITH IT!
NO, LOOK -- JUST GET HIM
OUT OF MY SIGHT.
MR. SIKORSKY, PLEASE!
LET'S ALL JUST CALM DOWN.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST
COME RIGHT OUT AND SAY IT?
AND, HAWKEYE,
STOP WHINING!
WHAT IS
GOING ON HERE?
WASP AND I FOUND
AN INTERESTING PATTERN
IN THE MYTHRAX THEFTS.
INTERESTING?
[ SCOFFS ]
YOUR COMPUTER
MADE IT CLEAR --
EVERY TIME
A MYTHRAX THEFT OCCURRED,
A CERTAIN CARNIVAL
WAS PLAYING NEARBY.
NOT JUST ANY CARNIVAL --
THE ONE HAWKEYE
USED TO WORK FOR.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
OH, COME ON.
SIKORSKY'S PRACTICALLY
ACCUSING ME
OF TELLING THEM
WHERE THE MYTHRAX IS KEPT.
ONLY A FEW COMPUTERS HAVE ACCESS
TO THAT KIND OF INFORMATION --
WELL...LIKE OURS.
GUILTY TILL
PROVEN INNOCENT, HUH?
I DON'T NEED THIS!
CLINT, PLEASE!
NO!
EVER SINCE
WE LOST WONDER MAN,
THIS TEAM
HAS BEEN FALLING APART.
HAWKEYE, WAIT!
HEY, SIKORSKY!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
OLD HAWKEYE SCREWING UP ANYMORE.
I'M OUTTA HERE!
Ant-Man: SIKORSKY SUGGESTED
THAT HAWKEYE MIGHT HAVE
SOME THEORIES
ABOUT THE CRIMES
SINCE HE MAY KNOW PEOPLE
WHO COULD BE INVOLVED.
HE COULD NOT REALLY BE
IN ON THIS, COULD HE?
I'M SURE HE HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, WANDA.
BUT KNOWING
HIS BACKGROUND,
WE HAVE TO CONSIDER
THE POSSIBILITY.
[ CRICKETS CHIRPING ]
[ ROARING IN DISTANCE ]
SWORDSMAN?
[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]
HOW YOU DOING, CLINT?
OR SHOULD I SAY...
HAWKEYE?
MY DAYS AS HAWKEYE
ARE OVER.
YOU AND ME --
WE GOT HISTORY.
YEAH.
ATTABOY, CLINT!
GOOD TRY!
GREAT!
SEE HOW THE PRACTICE
PAYS OFF?
[ ALARM RINGING ]
[ BOTH PANTING ]
STOP! STOP!
[ RINGING CONTINUES ]
OH, NO!
NO POINT BOTH OF US
IN JAIL. RUN!
COULDN'T HACK
THE STRAIGHT LIFE?
I HEARD YOU LEFT
THE AVENGERS.
OR WERE YOU KICKED OUT
OF THE CLUB?
LOOK,
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
IT'S IMPORTANT.
THE RINGMASTER DOESN'T LIKE
PEOPLE NOSING AROUND.
THE RINGMASTER?
[ BRAKES SQUEAK ]
SWORDSMAN,
WHO'S THE NEW MAN?
HE'S OKAY, BOSS.
I KNOW HIM.
WE'VE GOT A LONG HISTORY
TOGETHER.
YEAH?
WHAT DOES HE WANT?
I NEED A JOB.
BEING A SUPERHERO
DIDN'T PAY MUCH.
I WAS TALKING
TO SWORDSMAN.
HEY!
KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF ME!
LOOK -- YOU HAVE A CARNIVAL,
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE AN ARCHER.
I'M THE BEST THERE IS.
HMM.
YOU MIGHT BE USEFUL.
GET SOME NEW CLOTHES
FROM THE COSTUME WAGON.
WE'RE MOVING OUT.
HE MAKES ANY TROUBLE,
YOU TAKE HIM OUT PERSONALLY.
GOT IT?
Sikorsky: WE'RE AFRAID
AGENTS OF THOSE ENEMY REGIMES
ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR RECENT BREAK-INS
AT SEVERAL
GOVERNMENT RESEARCH LABS.
Tigra: THIS IS THE LAST MAJOR
BIO-LAB THAT HAS NOT BEEN HIT.
AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!
[ REDWING SCREECHES ]
SCARLET WITCH, KEEP SWEEPING
THE AREA FOR MOVEMENT.
VISION, HOW DOES IT LOOK
AT YOUR END?
NO UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITY
TO REPORT.
AND, HEY, FALCON,
I KNOW HAWKEYE'S GOT
A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER,
ESPECIALLY SINCE
YOU CAME ALONG,
BUT -- BUT THAT
DOESN'T MAKE HIM A CRIMINAL.
I'M NOT SAYING IT DOES,
BUT --
FACILITY INTEGRITY
HAS BEEN BREACHED.
NO JOKE!
YOU TAKE THE ONES ON THE LEFT,
FALCON.
BREAK-IN IN PROGRESS.
WE ARE ENGAGING.
ON OUR WAY.
AAH!
SWORDSMAN,
I DIDN'T SIGN ON FOR THIS.
EVERYONE! TO THE TRUCKS!
LEAVE THESE HEROES TO ME.
Tigra:
HEY! WHERE'D HE GO?
FORGET ABOUT HIM.
THEY PLANTED BOMBS.
AN EXPLOSION WILL SPREAD
BACTERIA FOR MILES.
WE HAVE TO CONTAIN THE MYTHRAX
AND DEFUSE THOSE BOMBS!
OH, BROTHER.
IT'S -- IT'S AN ILLUSION.
IT'S LIKE WE'VE ALL BEEN
HYPNOTIZED.
THOSE WEIRD WAVES
FROM THAT GUY'S HAT --
THEY MUST HAVE DONE IT!
HENRY, HOW CAN WE TELL
IF ANYTHING HERE IS REAL?
THIS MYTHRAX IS.
THOSE MIND GAMES
DON'T WORK ON REDWING.
IF THERE'S A BOMB HERE,
HE'LL FIND IT.
REDWING!
[ GASPS ]
[ REDWING SQUAWKS ]
FALCON!
HANG ON, REDWING!
IT'S OKAY, FRIEND.
I'VE GOT YOU.
LET'S ANALYZE THIS.
COMPUTER, CROSS-REFERENCE
POSSIBLE CARNIVAL LOCATIONS
OUTSIDE THE CITY.
HOW FORMIDABLE
THESE OPPONENTS ARE.
[ SCOFFS ] TALK ABOUT
A CIRCUS OF EVIL.
Ant-Man: HEADS UP, AVENGERS.
THE CARNIVAL IS RIGHT THERE.
THEY'RE SURE
IN A HURRY DOWN THERE.
PERHAPS THEY HAVE MUCH
THEY WISH TO HIDE, EH?
HUH.
YOU MEAN THE MYTHRAX.
[ GASPS ]
HENRY, LOOK!
THEY'RE GONE!
Ringmaster:
I'M NOT SURE YOU FIT IN HERE.
SWORDSMAN TELLS ME
YOU HAD SECOND THOUGHTS
ABOUT JOINING US.
HEY,
I DON'T LIKE SURPRISES.
NO ONE TOLD ME YOU WERE GOING
AFTER THE MYTHRAX.
THAT STUFF IS DANGEROUS.
HMM.
IT'S A TOUGH WORLD, CLINT.
YOU WANT SOMETHING,
YOU HAVE TO TAKE SOME RISKS.
NOW IT'S JUST A MATTER
OF SELLING IT
TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
[ REDWING SCREECHES ]
KEEP ON THEM, REDWING.
[ SCREECHES ]
LOOK, YOU DON'T LIKE ME
AND I DON'T LIKE YOU.
SO WHY ARE YOU
TELLING ME THIS?
YOUR EX-FRIENDS, THE AVENGERS,
DON'T GIVE UP EASILY.
YOU CAN HELP ME
GET RID OF THEM
OR BECOME FOOD
FOR THE LIONS.
IT'S YOUR CHOICE.
[ SCREECHES ]
GOOD HUNTING, REDWING.
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
Ant-Man:
AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!
TIGRA, SCARLET WITCH,
DROP AND GO MANEUVER 12.
ALL RIGHT,
NOWHERE TO HIDE.
THE MYTHRAX IS SAFE,
BUT THOSE CURSED AVENGERS
WILL PAY FOR THEIR INTERFERENCE.
[ HISSES ]
WINDS OF DESTINY,
CHANGE.
OHH!
CLINT, IT'S US OR THEM.
HAWKEYE?
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]
[ GRUNTS ]
NOT THIS TIME, PAL!
NO!
STOP RIGHT THERE,
OR I'LL RELEASE
THIS DEADLY BACTERIA.
NICE WORK BACK THERE.
I WASN'T SURE
WHICH TEAM YOU'D PICK
ONCE THE AVENGERS
SHOWED UP.
THEY HAD THEIR CHANCE.
YOU AND ME --
WE GOT HISTORY.
AND IF YOU'RE SMART,
WE'VE ALSO GOT A FUTURE.
WHAT'S THIS?
[ GASPS ]
I NEVER AGREED WITH RINGMASTER'S
PLAN TO SELL THIS STUFF.
I'VE GOT BIGGER PLANS.
THERE ARE BIGGER THINGS
AT STAKE.
I'LL RELEASE
THIS DEADLY BACTERIA.
Falcon:
REDWING, NO!
WHAT?! EMPTY!
BUT HOW?!
SWORDSMAN!
Swordsman: THE RINGMASTER'S
JUST A SMALL-TIME HOOD.
I HAVE TIES TO PEOPLE
WITH REAL POWER.
I DELIVER THIS MYTHRAX BOMB,
AND THEY DELIVER THE POWER!
YOU IN?
SORRY, SWORDSMAN.
I KNOW I'VE OWED YOU
FOR YEARS.
THAT'S WHY I CAME.
I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU
GO THROUGH WITH THIS
CRAZY SCHEME OF YOURS.
[ LAUGHS ]
YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING
TO STOP ME?
I TAUGHT YOU TOO WELL.
[ BEEPING ]
[ METAL CLANKS ]
NICE MOVE.
YOU SHOULD KNOW.
YOU TAUGHT IT TO ME.
[ LAUGHS ]
I GUESS I DIDN'T GET AROUND
TO TEACHING YOU THAT ONE.
[ BEEPING ]
BUT YOU'RE A QUICK STUDY.
THINK, CLINT.
THINK!
[ ZAPS ]
[ GRUNTS ]
Ant-Man:
CLINT, CALM DOWN.
PHEW.
THAT DISCONNECT CIRCUIT
WAS IN THERE DEEP.
MAN,
AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU.
SORRY I DIDN'T GET HERE
SOONER.
I BETTER GO AFTER
SWORDSMAN.
LATER, HAWKEYE.
WE'VE GOT MORE IMPORTANT THINGS
TO WORRY ABOUT.
Sikorsky:
GOOD JOB, AVENGERS.
THANKS TO YOUR EFFORTS,
ALL THE MYTHRAX WAS RECOVERED.
YEAH, WELL, SIKORSKY,
IF IT WEREN'T FOR HAWKEYE'S
UNDERCOVER PLAN,
WE WOULD NEVER HAVE TRACKED IT
ALL DOWN IN TIME.
THANK HIM.
MAYBE ANOTHER TIME.
HARDNOSE.
SIKORSKY MAY NOT SAY IT,
BUT I WILL, HAWKEYE.
GLAD YOU'RE BACK.
THANKS. OH.
SORRY ABOUT THOSE ARROWS
I SHOT AT YOU BACK THERE.
GET REAL.
AS IF YOU COULD HIT ME
WEARING THAT ROBIN HOOD GETUP.
[ LAUGHS ] OH, YEAH?
IF I WANTED TO HIT YOU,
BIRDMAN,
YOU'D ALREADY BE ROASTING
ON A SPIT.
YOU'RE ON.
Wasp: WITH THE RINGMASTER
IN JAIL,
DO YOU THINK WE MIGHT BORROW
THAT HAT OF HIS?
MAYBE IF WE MAKE THEM
BOTH DISAPPEAR,
WE'LL GET A LITTLE PEACE
AND QUIET.
Taurus:
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME
ALL THE BOMBS WERE FOUND?
I- I REGRET TO ADMIT IT,
TAURUS.
BUT...YES.
TEAR HIM IN TO 12 PIECES --
ONE FOR EACH SIGN
OF THE HEAVENS.
WE CAN WORK THIS OUT.
I- I JUST NEED
A LITTLE MORE TIME.
TAURUS! PLEASE!
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME
THE AVENGERS
HAVE MEDDLED WITH THE PLANS
OF THE ZODIAC.
BUT IT WILL BE THE LAST.
