Agent Coulson - Agent of the Shield - J.D. Coughlan

Panel 1: Wide panel. Cargo bay of a SHIELD helicarrier. An army of Ultron drones has invaded and is battling multiple SHIELD agents, as well as Cap, Thor and Iron Man. And, of course, Coulson himself at the back, firing his sidearm.

COULSON (CAP): They took our base by surprise.

COULSON (CAP): We didn't stand a chance.

Panel 2: Close on Iron Man, being restrained by one of the drones while another extends a probe from its hand into Iron Man's armour. Electricity shoots out the armour.

COULSON (CAP): Human genius was no match for artificial intelligence.

ARMOUR: Warning: Armor systems compromised. Unauthorised shutdown in progress.

SFX: KRRRZZ

Panel 3: Several drones fire energy blasts at Thor, who winces in pain.

COULSON (CAP): I saw a god fall before man-made machinery.

SFX: FWOOM

Panel 4: Captain America takes an energy blast to his side and hits the deck next to Coulson, who looks over in concern, his face still stoic though.

COULSON (CAP): A legend give way to the future.

CAPT. AMERICA: Gah!

SFX: KZZZZZ

Panel 5: Coulson kneels next to Cap, who looks up at Coulson with purpose, offering his shield.

COULSON: Cap!

CAPT. AMERICA: Take it, Coulson...

COULSON (CAP): It was our darkest hour.

Panel 6: Coulson, standing up with Cap's shield protecting him, firing his gun into the Ultron drones. He remains as calm as ever.

COULSON (CAP): But this part was pretty awesome.

SFX: BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM
