## Plot

*Avengers: Secret Empire* is a sequel to Avengers: The Coming of Galactus, Nick Fury Jr. and Monica Chang rush into the S.H.E.I.L.D. lab, Amadeus Cho AKA Braun is frantically typing away on his keyboard, Monica asks if he has made any progress, Amadeus points to his screen and tells them that he had managed to narrow the radius down and he believes that the fracture point is located near Times Square, Nick, Monica, Amadeus and Skaar head out towards the fracture point, when they get there, Nick steps out of the car and sees his father standing with three other people, one of them looked like Peggy Carter and he didn’t recognise the other two, he pulled his gun, and slowly walked towards them, he pointed his gun at them and told them to put their hands up, but before he finished his sentence, his gun had been taken from him and one of the other men had it in their hand, Nick Fury Sr. looked over at his son and couldn’t believe his eyes, he walked over to him and hugged him, he asked him how he had grown so fast, Jr. told him that it’s 2026 and he shouldn’t be here, he asked them to come with him and explain what happened to them, they drove back to S.H.E.I.L.D. HQ and walked into Fury’s office, where Silver Surfer, Spider-Man and Black Panther were waiting, T’Challa introduced himself as the king of Wakanda, he explained that he was in America on a business trip when everything around him changed, and said that he was here to help anyway he can, Norrin introduced Peter Parker as Spider-Man, he told him that they had worked together before and he felt that they could use any help they can get, Nick welcomes them to S.H.E.I.L.D. he walks over to his desk and begins briefing them on what The Invaders had told them on the ride over, when he finishes telling the story, he tells them that he has been monitoring the world looking for new heroes to rebuild The Avengers if something like Galactus happened again, he turned his monitor around and showed them four profiles, one for Scott Lang AKA Ant-Man, one for Nadia Van Dyne AKA Wasp, one for Sam Alexander AKA Nova and the other was a team named The Fantastic Four, Nick sent Monica and Skaar to collect the heroes while the rest of the team came up with a plan, now that all the heroes had been gathered, Fury Jr. explained the plan, Team A, The Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, Black Panther and Braun would set up at The Baxter Building and find a way to send The Invaders back to WWII, while Team B, himself, Spider-Man and The Invaders would locate Hydra’s base and attack them head on, and Team C, Skaar, Monica, Nova, Ant-Man and Wasp would stay close to The Baxter Building and defend it in case Hydra discovers them, the teams split up and focus on their missions, somewhere in a dark room filled with green lights, Captain America AKA Steve Rodgers was tied down in a chair, being forced to look at Hydra propaganda, a man walked into the room and knelt down in front of him, he asked Steve if he knew who he was, Steve replied that he was Daniel Whitehall, the man who saved him from death, he asked Steve if there was anything else he would like to say, after a few moments of silence, Steve looks towards the man and says Hail Hydra, Team A and C arrive at The Baxter Building, Team A walk inside and begin brainstorming ideas while Team C waits outside, Vision suggests a time machine, T’Challa mentions that Wakanda had been researching time travel, but any theories that they had included Vibranium, so he would have to travel back to Wakanda to get it, but Reed tells him that they actually have some vibranium left over from when they fought Ultron, Ben gets it from the storage room and they begin working on building a time machine, Nick Fury Jr. leads Team B towards another possible fracture point, when they arrive they see a huge tower with a Hydra logo on the front, they run into the building and prepare for a battle, but to their surprise the building was empty, they make their way up to the top floor and search the rooms, they get to the last room on the floor and kick in the doors, a group of Hydra agents were waiting, pointing their guns at them, in the middle of the room, sitting down at his desk, the team saw Red Skull, smiling at them, suddenly his smile disappears and he tells the soldiers to shoot, Peter webs the door and closes it just as they start firing, he jumps up to a vent and tells the other to wait there for him, he crawls in and soon they start hearing punching sounds behind the door, Red Skull is thrown through the doors, landing at Peggy’s feet, she looks up and sees Peter walk out of the room, which was now full of knocked out Hydra agents, Peggy kneels down and asks where the other Hydra agents were, he began laughing and told them that it was too late, they already found The Baxter Building and we’re headed there now, Peggy let out a scream of frustration and pulled out her gun, just as she was about to shoot, he told her that she can’t kill him now, or the timeline will be forever broken, but Nick Fury Jr. kneels down next to him and smiles at Red Skull, he tells him that he was supposed to die during The Invaders attack on Hydra, and if he died now, the timeline would remain the same, as he heard what Fury had said, Red Skull’s eyes widened as Peggy pulled the trigger, killing him, she holstered her gun and the team rushed towards The Baxter Building, Team C stood in front of The Baxter Building looking at the huge army of Hydra agents that had surrounded them, Daniel Whitehall stepped in front of them and said that if they were smart, they would stand down and let him through, but Scott told them that they would have to kill them before they got through, Daniel smiled and the Hydra agents charged at them and they began to fight, in the lab, Team A had assembled the time machine, now all they needed to do was power it, T’Challa said that heat would be powerful enough to keep the machine running, Johnny suggested that he goes inside the machine and heats it himself, T’Challa tells him that it could be dangerous, but Johnny says that they don’t have a choice, he gets in the machine and starts powering it up, a few minutes pass and Steve Rodgers walks into the lab, Norrin looks over at him and calls out to him, he tells him that he thought he was dead, Steve looked at Norrin confused, and asked him how he knew his name, Norrin tried to remind him who he was, but Steve began staring at the Time Machine, when Norrin noticed what he was looking at, he asked him what he was doing here, Steve pulled his shield from his back and the Hydra logo had been painted over it, he threw it towards the machine and the team tried to grab it as it flew past, but it was too late, the shield hit the machine, smashing the chamber that Johnny was in, causing the machine to explode and knock everyone back, Team B arrived just as the machine exploded, causing rubble to fall down onto some of the Hydra agents, they rushed towards the fight to help Team C, eventually they managed to defeat Whitehall and the Hydra agents, they rushed up to the lab and saw Steve standing in the middle of the room, he looked towards them and saw Peggy in the crowd, she pushed through the team and ran towards him, he dropped his shield as she began hugging him, he looked around at the damage he caused and began to cry, The Fantastic Four, T’Challa, Amadeus and Norrin all pushed the rubble off themselves and began slowly getting up, Sue ran over to the machine, looking for Johnny, eventually she found him underneath some rubble, she dragged him out and began shaking him, trying to wake him up, but it wouldn’t work, she leaned her ear towards his mouth, but she couldn’t hear him breathing, she began crying as she held her brothers body in her arms, Reed and Ben knelt down with her to comfort her, Norrin apologised and after a few seconds of silence he said that there was another way, The Avengers all looked at him, he told them that he could use Captain Universe to send The Invaders back to their time, but it would destroy it and Norrin’s powers, Sue lifted her head up and looked at Norrin, she slowly got up and punched him, she began shouting at him, telling him that her brother is dead because he didn’t want to give up his powers, she called him a selfish asshole and left the room, Norrin summoned Captain Universe and after they had said their goodbyes, he sent The Invaders back to their timeline, Skaar came forward and said that after seeing what happened with The Invaders, it is safest if he returns to his timeline aswell, and with the last of his power, Norrin and Captain Universe send Skaar back aswell, Captain Universe dissapears and Norrin’s body begins changing back to normal, The Avengers stand on the edge of the rubble, looking out towards the city as it begins turning back to normal, a few hours later The Avengers arrive back at S.H.E.I.L.D. HQ and Nick Fury says that he has an announcement to make, he tells S.H.E.I.L.D. and The Avengers that he will be stepping down as director and Monica Chang will be taking over for him, he shakes Monica’s hand and takes his badge of his jacket and hands it to Monica, the S.H.E.I.L.D. agents begin to clap as Nick Fury walks out the door
