THOR AND DOCTOR STRANGE ARE SITTING IN DOCTOR STRANGES LIVING ROOM THOR IS CHECKING HIS WATCH AS DR STRANGE MAGICALLY REFILLS THORS LARGE GLASS WITH BEER WITH JUST A SWISH OF HIS HAND.
Dr Strange: I thought it was time we discussed the future of the Avengers my borderline alcoholic Norse friend
THOR: Where are the others?
THOR: Well there isn't many of us left, Hulk won't be able to join us today Thor he's having his second Covid jab, the first one was fine but he was Dr Banner back then, and as he's the Hulk now they are having to use a short range ballistic missile just to pierce the skin
THOR: I know, I offered to let them use my hammer but none of them could lift it
Dr Strange: The Avengers numbers have dwindled so much since we fought the Evil Thanos,
THOR: Ah yes Thanos! probably the second most Evil person in the Universe to ever try to put on a glove
Dr Strange: Maybe third,
THOR:: Oh yes my mistake
Dr Strange : Anyway as I say, times are grave old friend according to my calculations there are only 4 capable Superheroes left in the Avengers! Apart from you the Hulk and I, there's only Spiderman. it's imperative that we urgently recruit more members
THOR: Don't forget Antman he should be here any moment
Dr Strange : Ah yes of course, how could I forget Antman ok that makes 5
HAWKEYE ENTERS:
HAWKEYE: That's not all you're forgetting guys .
THOR: Really who are we forgetting? (Aside To Dr Strange) "this is lucky this guy knows a load of Superheroes", Who else have we forgotten old friend
HAWKEYE: Well er....me for a start
THOR AND DR STRANGE BOTH LAUGH AND THEN STOP WHEN THEY REALISE HAWKEYE IS SERIOUS
THOR: Ah yes of course, we hoped, I mean thought you'd retired (Whispers to Strange) write down 5 and a half.
Dr Strange: Losing Captain America was a massive blow for the team
CAPTAIN AMERICA ENTERS
CAP: Well sometimes lost things can be found again
THOR: Aah look it's the Falcon wearing a tribute Suit in Steve Rogers memory, a nice touch there, we all miss him Falcon
CAP: You don't understand I am no longer the Falcon I am now Captain America
Dr Strange: So what are those metal things on your back
CAP: (sheepishly ) Falcon wings
THOR: Welcome Falcon, now stop pretending to be a different superhero! That's like me ripping my trousers and saying I'm the Hulk or acting really strange and saying that I'm Doctor Strange
Dr Strange: I'm not called that because I act strange it's actually my name
THOR: Yeah Whatever! ...weirdo....
Dr Strange Anyway where is Antman you said he'd be here
THOR: He is here look he's sitting in on the edge of the Ashtray
HAWKEYE: (Looking at the Ashtray) That's strange
THOR: No Hawkeye that's Antman, Strange is sitting there on the sofa (Aside to Dr Strange ) " Cross out the half he hasn't got a clue
HAWKEYE: No it's just strange that the Wasp is there as well and you didn't notice
Dr STRANGE: Is she?
THOR: Oh yes I see her, well spotted Bow and arrow guy
HAWKEYE: You've both been talking about not having enough Avengers but you haven't mentioned or acknowledged a single female Superhero so far. sounds a bit sexist to me
THOR: How dare you, we're not sexist, I'm giving my hammer to a fit young lady very soon, Hold on that didn't sound right.
DOCTOR STRANGE STARTS MAKING A CIRCLE OF FIRE BEHIND HIM
THOR: I'm sure we would have shoe horned a few birds in later to make up the numbers Isn't that right Doctor
Dr Strange: You're on your own here chum
DR STRANGE JUMPS THROUGH PORTAL
THOR: Come back you Weirdo! (Looks at the others) Just don't tell Captain Marvel otherwise she'll beat the shit out of me.
