AVENGERS || Civil War

Emma and Steve's house. Night. The television shows the news about the Sokovia Accords.

TV: “Governments around the world are demanding that the Avengers accept international oversight…”

Emma slowly turns off the television. In her arms is Olivia, who had already fallen asleep.

Emma: —Not again...

Steve enters through the door, still partially wearing his suit.

Steve: —Emma.

She looks at him. She doesn't need to say anything else.

Emma: —Is it true? Tony wants you to sign?

Steve nods.

Steve: —Yes.

Emma looks down at Olivia.

Emma: —And you don't want to.

Steve: —I can't accept that someone else decides when we can help and when we can't.

Emma sighs. *

Emma: —And my dad thinks exactly the opposite.

• Steve approaches, but Emma takes a step back. *

Emma: —I don't want to have to choose between you.

[Later. Avengers Tower.]

• Tony is standing in front of a table full of documents. Rhodey is beside him. *

• The doors open. *

• Emma enters holding Olivia's hand. *

• Tony looks up. *

Tony: —You're here.

Emma: —Dad.

• Tony looks at Olivia and immediately softens his expression. Tony: —Hey, little Stark. Olivia runs towards him. Tony: —That's some good news. Emma smiles slightly, but quickly becomes serious. Emma: —Why are you doing this? Tony puts the documents on the table. Tony: —Because I'm tired of seeing people get hurt. And because someone has to be held accountable. Emma: —What about Steve? Tony remains silent. Emma: —He's my husband. Tony: —I know. Emma: —And you're my dad. Tony looks directly at her. Tony: —I know that too. Emma feels her eyes fill with tears.

Emma: —Then don't make me choose.

Steven was a Shyld soldier who was frozen in the Pacific Ocean. He is 79 years old, but physically he looks 27.
