Location: Midtown East, New York City
Characters: All
Open: You’re free to write civilians, police/firefighters, and those trapped in the building as you see fit/need/want. I will also be writing said people and driving/storytelling for this scene.
A sky-rise apartment building is obviously on fire in Midtown East. It has six huge fire engines around it but the ladders don’t even come close to reaching anyone trapped on the top floors as the building has 45 stories above its lobby/main level. There are police trying to direct traffic and people, there is chaos. A huge fire has broken out on the 20th of so floor (or so it appears just by visually assessing the building). A single helicopter is circling the building, trying to relay information down to the police and firefighters about who is still trapped above. Fire has already blown out the windows of the 20th floor and smoke is pouring from the floor below and the two above.

To All Avengers: A signal by the Avengers A.I. goes out to all Avengers, alerting them of the fire and its location and that Robert is heading there, the signal came from him. It reads, "Request for assistance from Avenger, Robert, East Midtown fire at apartment complex. People trapped. Lives in danger, police and firemen overwhelmed. Need help rescuing the people trapped, 25 floors above fire, fire spreading. Please come, priority."
From the streets, it is clear there are people trapped above the 20th floor. Sheets are closed in windows and some people are waving shirts out, trying to show the firefighters and helicopter that they're there.
The amount of movement is staggering, the city taking such things with the most brutal of seriousness but still there is a level of chaos from so many people, cars, and all the police, ambulances, firemen, and the ever arriving newscasts.
People are being evacuated from the lower floors and told to walk away from the building, the streets around are being closed off and traffic directed to other routes. From the casual observer, there seems to be nothing abnormal going on--- just a terrible fire in a very tall, very populated apartment complex.
