==Plot==
Two HYDRA agents meet in Khartoum, 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 flies to Port Sudan to investigate.
Meanwhile, in Port Sudan, Doctor Jensen is witnessing something extraordinary happening with the Chitauri technology.
Clint Barton is practicing his archery skills at a S.H.I.E.L.D. Archery Range when he is informed by J.A.R.V.I.S. of Romanoff's discovery. He thinks of how each Avenger has a skill or ability that makes them special; he must practice his archery to keep from being replaced. Tony Stark, who is discussing something with Pepper Potts at Stark Industries, is also informed of this by Maria Hill. J.A.R.V.I.S. then informs Thor, who is in the University of London with Jane Foster, Bruce Banner, who is working in Avengers Tower, and Steve Rogers, who is in Brooklyn, 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 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 an explosive arrow at Doctor Jensen's weapon and she falls over, unable to believe her defeat.
Barton reflects that sometimes he worries that he does not have what it takes but that he has the most important thing for when it comes to shutting HYDRA wackos down: he has friends.
