Avengers: Infinity War Page #5

Rocket:
You know, Quill, you shouldn’t talk that way to your captain. (As he enters the pod) Come on, Groot. Put that game down. You’ll rot your brain.

Thor:
I bid you farewell and good luck, morons. Bye.

[Cut to Scotland, where VISION and WANDA MAXIMOFF share an apartment. WANDA is in bed while VISION, in a human glamour, watches out a window.]

Vision:
(Holding his hand to the Mind Stone in pain)

Wanda Maximoff:
Vis? Is it the stone again?

Vision:
It’s as if it’s speaking to me.

Wanda Maximoff:
What does it say?

Vision:
I don’t… I don’t know. But something… Tell me what you feel.

(WANDA presses her hand to the MIND STONE. She seems confused.)

Wanda Maximoff:
I just feel you.

(VISION takes WANDA’S hand and kisses it. Then they kiss. Cut to later, where the two are going on a stroll.)

Wanda Maximoff:
So there’s a 10 AM to Glasgow to give us more time together before you went back.

Vision:
What if I miss that train?

Wanda Maximoff:
There is an 11.

Vision:
What if I missed all the trains? What if this time, I didn’t go back?

Wanda Maximoff:
You gave Stark your word.

Vision:
I’d rather give it to you.

Wanda Maximoff:
There are people who are expecting me too, you know. We both made promises.

Vision:
Not to each other. Wanda… For two years, we’ve stolen these moments, trying to see if this could work. And… I don’t know. You know what, I’m just gonna speak for myself. – I, I… I think…

Wanda Maximoff:
It works.

Vision:
It works.

Vision:
Then stay. Stay with me. (a pause) Or not. If I’m overstepping…

(Suddenly, WANDA MAXIMOFF notices the TV in a nearby bar announcing the invasion of New York, and the disappearance of TONY STARK.)

Wanda Maximoff:
What are they?

Vision:
What the stone was warning me about. I have to go.

Wanda Maximoff:
No. Vision. If that’s true… Then maybe going isn’t the best idea.

Vision:
Wanda, I… (CORVUS GLAIVE appears suddenly behind vision, stabbing him through the back.)

Wanda Maximoff:
Vision!

(PROXIMA MIDNIGHT attacks Wanda from behind, and knocks her away. CORVUS GLAIVE pins Vision down using his weapon {a glaive} in an attempt to extract the mind stone from Vision’s head. Wanda blasts both of them away, then propels Vision and herself into a nearby courtyard where they rest in an alleyway.)

Vision:
The blade. It stopped me from phasing.

Wanda Maximoff:
Is that even possible?

Vision:
It isn’t supposed to be. My systems are failing. I’m beginning to think… we should have stayed in bed.

(CORVUS GLAIVE suddenly arrives, knocking Wanda aside and grabbing Vision)

Wanda Maximoff:
Vis!

(CORVUS flies away with Vision, pinning him against a wall. Meanwhile, PROXIMA engages Wanda and they begin to fight.)

Corvus Glaive:
(to VISION) Give up the Stone, and she lives.

(Vision flies with CORVUS to the roof of what appears to be a church. PROXIMA and Wanda are still fighting below. Vision shoots a beam from the mind stone at CORVUS, who uses his glaive to deflect it back at Vision, causing him to slam into the wall behind him.)

(Down below, Wanda hears a cry from Vision. Finally knocking PROXIMA away with her magic, Wanda then flies up to the roof where GLAIVE has pinned Vision and is again attempting to remove the mind stone. She casts a bolt of magic which throws him back through the wall and down a shaft.)

Wanda Maximoff:
Hands off.

(Wanda then uses her magic to propel her and Vision away. Below, PROXIMA, who has recovered, shoots a bolt from her weapon, causing them to fall from the air and down through the roof of a train station beneath them. Wanda crawls over to Vision.)

Wanda Maximoff:
Come on. Come on. Come on, you gotta get up. You gotta get up. Come on. Hey. Hey. We have to go.

Vision:
Please. Please leave.

Wanda Maximoff:
You asked me to stay… I’m staying.

Vision:
Please.

Wanda Maximoff:
Get up.

(Behind them, PROXIMA MIDNIGHT and CORVUS GLAIVE land and advance on Wanda who stands in front of Vision. A train passes behind Wanda, and they all pause as if aware of another’s presence. As the last train car passes, we see a silhouette against the back wall. PROXIMA throws her weapon, but it is quickly caught just before the figure steps from the shadows.)

(We now recognize a bearded Captain America as he steps into the light. While they are distracted, Falcon {Sam Wilson} swoops in and kicks PROXIMA MIDNIGHT to the next room. Swooping around, he fires on CORVUS GLAIVE. At the same time, Captain America throws PROXIMA’S weapon to Black Widow who engages CORVUS, stabbing him in the gut and flinging him backwards. PROXIMA, who has now recovered, summons her weapon back to her hand and attacks Captain America and Black Widow simultaneously. While the three are fighting, Falcon flies in and again kicks PROXIMA backwards where she crouches down beside CORVUS.)

Proxima Midnight: (To GLAIVE) Get up.

Corvus Glaive:
I can’t.

Natasha Romanoff: We don’t wanna kill you. But we will.

Proxima Midnight: You’ll never get the chance again.

(PROXIMA MIDNIGHT and CORVUS GLAIVE depart as they are beamed up.)

Sam Wilson:
(To Vision) Can you stand?

Vision:
Thank you, Captain.

Steve Rogers:
Let’s get you on the jet.

Natasha Romanoff: (Closing the doors to the Quinjet, while addressing Wanda) I thought we had a deal. Stay close, check in. Don’t take any chances.

Wanda Maximoff:
I’m sorry. We just wanted time.

Sam Wilson:
Where to, Cap?

Steve Rogers:
Home.

[Cut to the past, at GAMORA’S home planet during THANOS’ massacre. YOUNG GAMORA is separated from her mother.]

Gamora’s Mother: (To Young Gamora) Shhh. We’ll be safe. We’ll be safe.

(Gamora screeches and a Child of Thanos finds them and separates them)

Ebony Maw:
Zehobereans…

Young Gamora:
(As she is dragged away) Mother!

Ebony Maw:
Choose a side, or die.

Young Gamora:
Mother! (She pulls away from the one who is dragging her and punches him as he leaves)

Ebony Maw:
One side, for reservation. The other, an honor…

(YOUNG GAMORA approaches THANOS, desperate to find her mother.)

Thanos:
What’s wrong, little one?

Young Gamora:
My mother. Where is my mother?

Thanos:
(Kneels down to Gamora) What’s your name?

Young Gamora:
Gamora.

Thanos:
You’re quite the fighter, Gamora. Come. Let me help you. (THANOS takes her hand and leads her to a pavilion, where he produces a small red-jeweled dagger) Look. Pretty, isn’t it? Perfectly balanced. As all things should be. Too much to one side, or the other… Here. You try.

Ebony Maw:
Now go in peace, and meet your Maker.

(One half of the crowd is shot down. They scream, and YOUNG GAMORA turns, but THANOS prevents her from seeing the massacre.)

Thanos:
Concentrate. There! You’ve got it.

[Cut to the present, aboard the GUARDIANS’ ship.]

Peter Quill:
Gamora. Do you know if these grenades are the “blow off your junk” kind or the gas kind? ‘Cause I was thinking I might hang a couple on my belt right here. But I don’t want to-

Gamora:
I need to ask a favor.

Peter Quill:
Yeah, sure.

Gamora:
One way or another, the path that we’re on leads to Thanos.
