"I don't know what you plan on doing here."
"I've come here to put an end to Loki's schemes!"
"Then prove it. Put the hammer down."
Captain America and Thor[src]

The Skirmish in Germany was a mission planned by Loki to steal Iridium in Stuttgart, Germany in order to stabilize the Tesseract and assemble the portal to incite the Chitauri Invasion. Loki surrendered and was quickly apprehended by the Avengers, but the situation quickly developed into a brief skirmish amongst Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor, who sought to return Loki to Asgard. They abandoned their fight, agreeing to take Loki into custody on the Helicarrier.

Background[]

"We got a hit, 62% match. Wait, cross-check 79%."
"Location?"
"Stuttgart, Germany. 28 Koenigstrasse. He's not exactly hiding."
Jasper Sitwell and Phil Coulson[src]

Nick Fury and Phil Coulson, who were present at the evacuation, recruited Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Steve Rogers, and Natasha Romanoff for the Avengers Initiative.

"The soldier, the man out of time."
"I'm not the one who's out of time."
Captain America and Loki[src]

When Hawkeye and Loki arrived in Stuttgart, Hawkeye quickly eliminated the men guarding the facility, where a gala was concurrently taking place nearby. Loki, disguised as an attendee, knocked down and attacked Heinrich Schafer. After stealing his eye, Barton successfully escaped with the iridium.

Even with the Iridium raided, Loki terrorized the attendees and forced them to kneel. However, an old man stood up against Loki, claiming that he was just one of many evil men. Loki attempted to kill him with his Scepter, but the man was saved by Captain America. Black Widow ordered the demigod to surrender, but Loki dueled against Captain America instead Iron Man interfered and Loki submitted himself, allowing S.H.I.E.L.D. to take him under custody.[3]

While the S.H.I.E.L.D., flying above the mountains, escorted Loki to the Helicarrier, bolts of lightning struck nearby.

All of a sudden, Iron Man blasted Thor to the forest below and the two dueled.​Captain America arrived to make amends with Thor, but only made him angrier as he attempted to kill him. Captain America was able to protect himself from Mjølnir with his shield, compelling Thor to assist S.H.I.E.L.D. to stop Loki.[3]

"Loki is a prisoner."
"Then why do I feel like he's the only person on this boat that wants to be here?"
Thor and Nick Fury[src]

Loki was taken and escorted to a cell within the Helicarrier by S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury was concerned of any upcoming danger, under the belief that Loki wanted to be held captive. Black Widow discovered the truth of Fury's concern after Loki threatened her and revealed that he had plans to unleash Hulk in escaping.

The Avengers conversed about the Scepter, Black Widow's encounter with Loki and the discovery of Phase 2, where S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to use the Tesseract for weapons of mass destruction, until Hawkeye blew up a Helicarrier engine, triggering chaos and the death of Phil Coulson,[3] before he was resurrected as a part of Project T.A.H.I.T.I..[4]
