Alexei/The Red Guardian
What kind of super serum did you get?
I don’t know. Regular. Hydra.
Alexei/The Red Guardian
Hydra? Oh. Fancy.
Yes.
Alexei/The Red Guardian
Mine was Soviet recreation. But it’s still good, you know? [chuckles] We are same, you and me!
Well...
Alexei/The Red Guardian
I mean, we are different, but we are same. You know, we could be co-leaders in this, huh?
Little different.
Alexei/The Red Guardian
You get tired, I drive, huh?
I don't get tired.
Alexei/The Red Guardian
No, I mean metaphorically. No, I don't actually want to drive.
Yelena Belova
Are we there yet?
Almost!
Alexei/The Red Guardian
Almost! [breathes deeply] Okay. Mr. Soldier, what is secret plan, huh?
The plan?
Alexei/The Red Guardian
Yeah. I like this plan. [The Thunderbolts fights the O.X.E. paramilitary security team]
Valentina
Jesus, you guys, I literally just put that drywall inǃ I left the door unlocked for youǃ Come upǃ [The Thunderbolts meets her as she pours a drink] How crazy is it to think of all the monumental fights that happened exactly here where you’re standing? Eh. I don’t really care. I mean, the place wasn’t cheap, but it’s got good optics.
Well, it’s over, Valentina. This ends today.
Valentina
Congressman Barnes, wow. You know, I never really thought you’d have a promising political career. But less than half a term? Yikes.
We’re taking you in, Val.
Valentina
I don’t think so. [looks at Walker and chuckles] Junior Varsity Captain America.
Walker.
Valentina
Oh, nice to see you, Ava. Yelena. You look awful. You sure you’re really ready for that public facing role you asked me about?
Yelena Belova
Eat shit, Valentina. Where’s Bob?
Valentina
Look at you. You are all so adorable. Just think, I send you down there to kill each other, and instead, you make nice and you form a team. [looks at Alexei] Who’s this old Santa?
Alexei/The Red Guardian
I’m Alexei Shostakovǃ The Red Guardianǃ
Valentina
What?
Where’s Mel?
Valentina
Mel? Oh, Mel. Yeah. Uh, Mel is having a little loyalty issue. But I’m just so grateful that she stayed long enough to lure you all in. [Bucky takes drink from her and attempts to apprehend but is thwarted by an unseen energy] I’m not alone. [calls up] Robert? [Robert/The Sentry walks downstairs]
Yelena Belova
Oh, my God.
That’s Bob?
Valentina
Yeah, he’s changed a little. [gestures to him] It is my great honor to introduce to you The Sentry.
Robert/The Sentry
Hey, guys.
Alexei/The Red Guardian
Wow. That’s cool name.
Valentina
All powerful. Invincible. Stronger than all of the Avengers rolled into one. And soon to be known as Earth’s mightiest hero.
Ava
Have you dyed your hair?
Robert/The Sentry
Yeah. Well, it was...
Valentina
Yeah, it was my idea. People love a classic hero.
Okay, I’ll bite. What’s the plan?
Valentina
You haven’t figured it out yet, Bucky? Geez. Well, at least you’re kind of cute.
Alexei/The Red Guardian
You’re not going to hurt people.
Valentina
Oh, no. No, I’m not gonna hurt people. I’m gonna hurt you. You see, the press is on their way here now. And they’re gonna witness the awesome power of Sentry as he takes down this ruthless group of rogue agents, thus beginning a new era in which I decide how to keep the American people safe, answering to no one. I’ll be unimpeachable.
That’s... never gonna happen.
Valentina
Sentry, your first mission is to take out these criminals.
Robert/The Sentry
I don’t wanna hurt you guys. Why don’t you just turn yourselves in? [chuckles]
No, you don’t wanna do this, Bobby.
Robert/The Sentry
You can call me The Sentry.
Yelena Belova
Please, don’t do this. You do not need to listen to her.
Valentina
Robert, they don’t think you’re good enough.
Yelena Belova
That’s not true. Remember? You can trust meǃ I know youǃ
Robert/The Sentry
I don’t think that you do.
Alexei/The Red Guardian
Enough talking! No one messes with the... [screams] West Chesapeake Valley Thunderbolts! [lunges forward and The Sentry sends The Red Guardian flying into a wall]
