[Scene cuts to scenes of the battle as well as many people expressing their opinions concerning the events]

Stan Lee: Superheroes? In New York? Give me a break!

Senator Boynton: These so called heroes have to be held responsible for the destruction done to the city. This was their fight. Where are they now?

Waitress: What? That this was somehow their fault? Captain America saved my life. Wherever he is, wherever any of them are, I just wanna say thank you.

[as Fury meets with the world security council, at the same time we see The Avengers meet up one last time to say goodbye and to give the Tesseract to Thor who takes it and Loki back to Asgard]

World Security Council #3: Where are The Avengers?

Nick Fury: I'm not currently tracking their whereabouts. I'd say they'd earned a leave of absence.

World Security Council #2: And the Tesseract?

Nick Fury: The Tesseract is where it belongs, out of our reach.

World Security Council #1: That's not your call.

Nick Fury: I didn't make it. I just didn't argue with the god that did.

World Security Council #1: So you let him take it and the war criminal, Loki, who should be answering for his crime.

Nick Fury: Oh, I think he will be.
World Security Council #2: I don't think you understand what you've started, letting The Avengers loose on this world. They're dangerous.

Nick Fury: They surely are, and the whole world knows it. Every world knows it.

World Security Council #1: Was that the point in all this? A statement.

Nick Fury: A promise. [Fury closes the monitors]

Agent Maria Hill: Sir, how does it work now? They've gone their separate ways, some pretty extremely far. We get into a situation like this again, what happens then?

Nick Fury: They'll come back.

Agent Maria Hill: Are you really sure about that?

Nick Fury: I am.

Agent Maria Hill: Why?

Nick Fury: Because we'll need them to.
