THIS WEEK ON AVENGERS ASSEMBLED

[aa_admin]

LOCAL & WORLD NEWS

• While the Avengers vs. Loki news item cycled pretty fast off of the 24/7 news cycle, there remains heightened interested in Avenger activities.
• There are a few mutterings in Germany regarding the Stuttgart attack, but nothing firm has come forward yet.
• Loki otherwise made of Teflon, the weasely little shit.

WATCHERS

• Nearly all of the SHIELD agents have been released, but a handful remain under Schmidt's control. One was killed, ostensibly in retaliation for Thor's actions. They still have Selvig.
• SHIELD HQ is mostly a skeleton crew of HYDRA agents. Phase 2 and Tesseract-related projects are their main interests.
• Janet has dropped tracking devices on items likely to be shipped out.
• Amora will be questioning underlings to see if anyone knows where it is all going.
• Tony and Bruce have Stark Industries satellites tuned to Tesseract frequencies.
• Thor will be taking Stark's files on Asgardian biology to Schmidt, at which point Schmidt is to vacate SHIELD and allow it to return to the control of Fury, et al.
• The Avengers will figure out where Schmidt is hiding his new toys and then go and TAKE THEM BACK and PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE.

WSC

• Clint and Nat returned from Russia with contacts and information on Loki's new friends amidst Russia's rich and powerful.
• Rhodes dropped by with information that a SHIELD asset is being used as leverage on his father, who otherwise seems ... pretty non-descript. AVENGERS ... INVESTIGATE.

A PROBLEM LIKE AMORA

• Amora and Steve had a lovely date. We will be testing to see how far she can be trusted: just how much less than we can throw her, etc.

THE BLIGHT

• Sif has revealed that the debris found outside of Sleepy Hollow contain the same runes and structure she sees while teleporting to Midgard.
• Sif's sword activated a holographic projection of a star-rune being chased by another rune. A riddle!
• Vision's instruments suffered severe interference while Sif's sword touched the debris. Vision was not able to determine what caused the interference.

Scene ideas:
* Take a trip to China.
* Poke at the spaceship.
* There are more Chitauri weapons out there!
