There’s quite a funny line that Joss actually wrote for me, when Chris Hemsworth as Thor says “You think yourself above them” and Loki simply says “Well, yes”. It was quite fun to say that line.
The only thing you really fight for is yourself. You’re not the guy to make the sacrifice play.
“I swear to god, Steve, I will drop the PASIV out of this fucking window if you don’t tell me RIGHT NOW why you thought taking this goddamn job was a good idea, what with Bucky running around our heads trying to shoot us out of our dreams.”
“Can’t you feel it, Clint? You’re antsy. We’re all antsy. We’ve been the best dreamshare team there is out there since Cobb’s disbanded, and we haven’t gone under in over a year.”
Avengers Inception AU → wherein Thor of Odin Corp. hires Steve Rogers’ elite dreamsharing team to perform inception on his brother, Loki, and a shade of their ex-resident thief Bucky (who was killed when the team’s last job went horribly wrong) tries his best to sabotage it.
Or: Steve extracts, Tony builds, Clint runs point, Natasha’s a master of impersonation, Bruce concocts, Thor’s a tourist, and things happen.
AU → The Avengers in the Hunger Games
The Avengers. It’s what we call ourselves. Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, that type of thing.
You’ve managed to piss off every single one of them.
