## Files

### Senate Hearing Day 1 Romanoff - Excerpt (1)

Chairman: Ms. Romanoff, would you say you are the second in command of the Avengers organization?

Romanoff: No.

Chairman: Uh... I don't suppose you could clarify... in Captain Rogers' absence, who speaks for the Avengers?

Romanoff: We never had a formalized plan for what would happen if... I can do my best to speak on behalf of the others, but... but Cap... only Steve could have truly spoken for all of us.

### Senate Hearing Day 6 Stark - Excerpt

Stark: How many times do I have to explain this? We take the safety of civilians with utmost seriousness. What happened on A-Day couldn't have been predicted, and we did everything we could to minimize the loss of life.

Chairman: So you're saying, for the record, that the Avengers do not pose a risk to the citizens of this country?

Stark: I am saying that, again. Is short term memory a common problem among Senators from -

Chairman: Why, then, would your colleague Dr. Banner say otherwise?

Stark: Sorry, what?

Chairman: In his interview, Dr. Banner stated, in no uncertain terms, that he believed the Avengers could, and continue to be, a source of potential danger to the populace.

### Senate Hearing Day 1 Romanoff - Excerpt (2)

Chairman: When was the last time you had contact with Mister... Odinson?

Romanoff: A few weeks after A-Day.

Chairman: Ah, And... uh... at that point, what did he have to say?

Romanoff: He blamed himself - and us - for Cap's death. He said he was going out on his own, to find another way to do good where he didn't put people in danger. We already hadn't seen each other in weeks, when he put his hammer down at Cap's statute. You already knew that.

### Senate Hearing Day 5 Dr. Banner - Excerpt

Chairman: Now, your... transformation into the Hulk is not just at will. There are also emotional stimuli that can trigger the change and affect the duration, yes?

Dr. Banner: Yes. During times of... extreme stress, the Hulk takes over for long periods of time.

Chairman: And does that concern you, given the events of the last few months?

Dr. Banner: It does. It does.

Chairman: Could the same not be said for the rest of you? A self-proclaimed god, an erratic genius, a Soviet-born assassin, and a barely controllable monster. In light of recent events, can you say the Avengers pose no threat to the good citizens of this country?

Dr. Banner: No, sir. No, I can't.

### Decommission Order - Chimera Helicarrier

Attention: All Personnel.

Effective immediately, this SHIELD facility is officially decommissioned. While I am aware that the work is incomplete, a full evacuation is imperative. All employees are to return to SHIELD. Central for immediate debriefing and reassignment.

All assets formerly assigned to this facility are to be left untouched. Do not approach the main site. Vacate in a quiet, orderly manner.

I remind you that with the closing of this facility, pursuant to SHIELD Regulation 802, all Agents are expressly forbidden to disclose any information about the whereabouts of this facility, nor any activities that were conducted on site.

Commander M. Hill

### To: Agent Woo From: Agent Singh

We're leaving everything behind, all the hardware, the drives, everything. I don't like this any more than you, but given the circumstances... I don't think we have a choice.

Hill gave me one exception: Quinjet F530 should be scrubbed from the manifest. No one from AIM will know it is here.

Per your other concern, we'll flush the network before we shut the lights off. It's clear AIM does not have the same priorities as us, so I'm not taking chances. We've had shakeups before, but I'll be honest, since A-Day this is uncharted territory for us all.

In six months, my guess is SHIELD will be dissolved entirely. I know you're freaked out, and that's good because so am I. But I need you to keep up appearances for now. I've got your back.

### Senate Hearing Day 10 Dr. Banner - Statement

Um... I wanted to take... I uh... I wanna take this moment to personally apologize to the American people. The past is written - I know I can never erase what happened. But I do hope my actions today will help prevent a tragedy like this from ever happening again.

It is my intention to abide by the ruling of this committee. And I will take the necessary steps to ensure the... the dissolution of our organization. Each of us had a part to play in the events of A-Day. Each of us has blood on our hands. I just hope someday the world can forgive us. Thank you.
