Age of Ultron Question

[elrhiarhodan]

So, saw Avengers: Age of Ultron on Saturday and generally liked it (although a little less that the first Avengers movie and a LOT less than Winter Soldier). But one thing keeps making me scratch my head.



How did the Eastern European baddies get a hold of Loki's scepter? The last person who had possession of it was Natasha, when she stuck it into the Tesseract-generated portal. How did it get from her hands (and by extension, the Avengers' hands) into a Hydra scientist's?

Seems like a serious continuity flaw. Amongst others.

It was in the post-credit scene for Winter Soldier, but there was no explanation of how they got it.

It seems kind of odd that the scepter, which was affirmatively in the hands of the Avengers, in Stark Tower and not out on the street, just went missing.

Oh well.
