We go to the main deck and sit at the table with CA, Stark, and Hawkeye.

"These were in Phil Coulsons jacket..."

Fury passes the blood soaked Captain America trading cards.

"Guess he never did get you to sign them..."

Fury sighs

"We're dead in the air up here, our communications, location of the cube, banner, Thor. I got nothing for you. Lost my one good eye... Maybe I had that coming..."

Fury starts to walk around the table

"Yes... we were going to build an Arsenal with the tesseract... I never put all my chips on that number though, cause I was playing something riskier. There was an idea. Stark knows this... called the avengers initiative..."

Fury stops behind one chair

"The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, to see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together when we needed them to fight the battles that we never could. Phil Coulson died still believing in that idea... in heros."

Stark stands up abruptly and walks away.

"Well, it's an old fashioned notion"

'Damn...'

I walk out and BW, CA, and Hawkeye follow me. I find Stark in the room that Loki was trapped in and Coulson "died" in. I sigh and lean on the wall shaking my head. CA asks

"Was he married"

"No, There was a cellist... I think"

"I'm sorry... he seemed like a good man"

"He was an idiot"

"Why... for believing"

"For taking on Loki alone"

"He was doing his job"

"He was out of his league... he should have waited, he should have..."

"Sometimes there isn't a way out tony"

"Right, I've heard that before"

"Is this the first time you lost a soldier."

" we are not soldiers. I'm not marching in fury's fief"

"Neither am I... he's got the same blood on his hands as Loki does. But right now we got to put that behind us and get this done. Now Loki needs a power source if we can put together a list..."

"He made it personal"

"That's not the point

"That is the point... that's Loki's point. He hit us all where we live. Why?"

" to tear us apart"

"Yeah divide and conquer is great but, he knows he has to take us out to win right. That's what he wants... he wants to beat us he wants to be seen doing it he wants an audience "

"Just like Stuttgart"

" that's just previews. this is opening night, and Loki is a full tell diva. he wants flowers he, wants parades, he wants a monument built in the sky's with his name plastered on it... son of a bitch."

"It looks like it's time to go guys..."

I say towards Hawkeye and Black widow.

"Where are we going." BW asks

"Isn't it obvious..."

She looks at me confused

"Stark tower"

Realization hits her

"By the way you can pilot those jets right"

I look towards Hawkeye.

"Yeah"

Captain America walks down and says

"Suit up"

I walk behind him and say

"Barton can pilot those jets."

"Good"

I walk to the hanger and wait for everyone else to come. When everyone gets there. We take a jet and take off.
