## Plot

At a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. facility in Maine, Sharon Carter oversees the creation of new Helicarriers. The base is infiltrated by a team consisting of Zeke Stane, Helmut Zemo, and Rita DeMara. They take the agents present hostage, but Sharon secretly sends out a message. Zemo begins taking the research they have collected, until the Avengers (Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Thor, Bruce Banner/Hulk, Natasha Romanoff, Clint Barton, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff) arrive and take them on. Stane unleashes Emily Blonsky/Abomination, who goes head-to-head with Hulk, who defeats Blonsky. The Avengers take out Stane, Zemo, and DeMara, and all four enemies are taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. Sharon thanks Steve, who tells her to be more careful. She ensures the Helicarrier's progress is going well, and then goes with the Avengers back to New York City, to the underground S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

Director Maria Hill welcomes the Avengers and Carter back, while Hank Pym is at work at a secret project. It is revealed that Hill recruited Hank and his wife, Janet van Dyne, after S.H.I.E.L.D. fell, to help with the science division. Hank, Tony, and Bruce are working together on the project, in hopes of preventing major attacks, like the Battle of New York three years prior.
