Intro. Loki has been taken back to Asgard to face punishment for his actions. In the weeks that followed, the Avengers were left behind to deal with the aftermath of the battle and help clean up the chaos across New York. The city is still shaken by what happened. Superheroes fighting in the streets of New York? To many people, the very idea still seems unbelievable. Some citizens see the Avengers as heroes, while others aren’t sure what to think. Are they protectors… or something far more dangerous?
While the Avengers focus on repairing the damage and restoring order to the city, S.H.I.E.L.D. has quietly been working behind the scenes. Hidden away from the public eye, scientists and agents have been experimenting, searching for new ways to defend Earth from threats like Loki. Because if one powerful enemy could nearly bring the planet to its knees… who’s to say another one won’t come someday?
