Plot
Two HYDRA agents meet, in Khartown, Sudan, one informing the other that Doctor Jensen has made a breakthrough with the Chitauri technology. They board a plane to take them to Port Sudan but the plane is hijacked by Natasha Romanoff, who flys to Port Sudan to investigate.

Meanwhile, in Port Sudan Doctor Jensen is witnessing something extraordinary happening with the Chitauri technology.

Clint Barton is practicing this archery skills at a S.H.I.E.L.D. Archery Range when he is informed by JARVIS of Romanoff's discovery. Tony Stark, who is discussing something with Pepper Potts at Stark Industries, is also informed of this by Maria Hill. JARVIS then informs Thor, who is in the University of London with Jane Foster who is studying the Convergence, Bruce Banner, who is working in Avengers Tower, and Steve Rogers, who is in Brooklyn with information about the Winter Soldier, of this too.

Romanoff, arriving at Port Sudan, sees HYDRA's forces gathering. The rest of the Avengers, who are now assembled, take a Quinjet and Barton flies them to Port Sudan. However, they are shot down by HYDRA's forces and after the Quinjet crashes they all, with the exception of Banner, exit the Quinjet to fight. A HYDRA soldier notices there is still an Avenger in the Quinjet and orders it to be fired at, which makes Banner turn into the Hulk. The fighting continues and Romanoff joins the rest of the Avengers. The HYDRA soldiers begin to retreat, apart from Doctor Jenson who arms herself with a weapon and then attacks several of the Avengers. However Barton fires a explosive arrow at Doctor Jensen's weapon and she falls over, unable to believe her defeat.

Barton reflects that sometimes he worrys that sometimes he doesn't have what it takes but that he has the most important thing for when it comes to shutting HYDRA wackos down: he's got friends.
