THIS WEEK ON AVENGERS ASSEMBLED

[aa_admin]

LOCAL & WORLD NEWS

• So. Loki presented himself to the UN as an ambassador from Asgard during a nice, mild, boring speech and the Avengers flirted with alcohol poisoning by watching and drinking every time he lied.
• Steve denounced him the next day as the mastermind behind the attacks on NYC.
• Reactions are VERY mixed: there are a lot of voices strongly in support of Steve and demanding investigation into his allegations, but also voices asking for proof, and is this evidence that the Avengers are a dangerous, reactionary force?
• The Avengers are being closely watched right now for any more spontaneous declarations of war or arrests.

WATCHERS

• Stark negotiated a slow release of SHIELD hostages from Schmidt's control.
• Some of SHIELD's warehouses that they hit have shown signs that HYDRA got there first.
• Approximately 15 agents are under SHIELD control who can be considered hostages. Included in that number is Erik Selvig.
• SHIELD HQ is mostly a skeleton crew according to Jan. They are clearing out the lower levels.
• Phase 2 and Tesseract-related projects are their main interests.
• Speaking of Tesseract-related projects, Stark eventually admits that he thinks Loki was Schmidt's date and was interested in the arc reactor. He defends himself by pointing out she's hot. Stop judging him.

A PROBLEM LIKE AMORA

• Amora and Steve are going on a date! She appears to have been introduced to and taken up with Schmidt at the charity ball.

THE BLIGHT

• Known as the Blight to the Asgardians, there's an alien presence on Earth who can take the form of people. Amora knows something of it and told Thor. They made a deal. It's none of our business, Thor says.
• The Blight has some relation not to Asgard, but to realms that Asgard knows and is known from legends of an ancient attack.

Scene ideas:
* Find out where they are taking stuff?
* JUST WHO IS THE WSC ANYWAY.
* There are more Chitauri weapons out there!
