"...Let's talk terms"

The second Fury heard those words, his good mood was instantly ruined.

When Tony saw this reaction, he smirked evilly in Fury's direction. He didn't like Fury very much. They seemed to bump heads from the moment they met. Fury seemed to be a very controlling and secretive man, and this made Tony feel as though Fury was constantly scheming something.

"What do you have in mind?" Fury asked in annoyance, though he hid it well.

"Well, let's go to a more comfortable room. We can't talk business amongst the dead after all." Peter says and Fury takes them to a conference room with a big table surrounded by rolling chairs.

The second they enter the room, Peter takes out his ghost phone and flips a tiny switch on the side of it. Instantly, any listening devices or cameras in the room were made useless. At least until Peter's ghost phone was out of range or the switch was flipped again.

"This is more like it." Peter mutters as he puts his phone away and takes a seat alongside Tony.

Fury looked annoyed and rolled his single eye as he took a seat as well.

"What are your terms?" Fury asks, ignoring the smug look Tony was giving him.

"Seeing as there aren't any other super-powered individuals here, that must mean Tony and I would be the first to join, correct?"

"Yes, I have a couple of agents that I want to be involved as well as an enhanced individual who is currently... out of town, but you would be the first two supers to officially join." Fury nods.

Peter instantly knew that Fury was talking about Carol Danvers, who is currently off-planet, not out of town.

"Let's not call Tony a super, he has a nice suit. That's all." Peter pokes fun at Tony, who turns to Peter with an annoyed glare.

"...do you have to keep bringing that up?" Tony sighs.

"Yes, now let's get back to business." Peter says as he turns to Fury. "Seeing as Tony and I will be the first members of this team, I think it's best that we figure out how this will work for us and the upcoming members."

Tony nodded from the side, surprised that he was about to agree to join without going over this.

'I'm such an idiot...' Tony thought.

"That makes sense." Fury nodded as he took out the file from earlier. "The way we would like to do things is similar to how our relationship already works."

"You work with Shield already?" Tony asked Peter.

"You're okay with this? It sounds like your bosses won't be pleased." Tony asked confusedly.

"I have been trying to get the Avengers Initiative off the ground for a very long time. If this is the way it has to be for the world to have the protection it needs, then I'm on board for the ride." Fury says, far more understanding than either of them thought he would be.

Technically, he has Phase 2 to fall back on, which is a plan developed by Shield to develop weapons using the power of the Tesseract. Though Fury believes in Phase 1(Avengers Initiative) far more.

"Don't be too down about it though. We'll still need Shield's assistance. Training and information are what you would offer us still, so we would still be working together. I have no problem taking in the three people that you planned to have involved as well." Peter says, knowing Shield would still be involved either way.

"We would also need to set people in charge. Someone has to run the whole operation." Tony says, dread clear in his voice.

The room goes silent as everyone thinks of how it would even work. This time, Fury is the first to speak up.

"As someone who runs his own organization, I can give you some advice." Fury offers.

"Sure, go ahead." Peter gestured for him to continue.

"You could form a council, which would deal with the upper-level management. That council can appoint a director, like myself, who would run the organization as a whole." Fury explains.

"Is that how Shield is run?" Tony asks.

"I can not confirm or deny." Fury says with a shake of his head.

"So, it is, Huh?" Tony mutters, reading between the lines.

"Who would be on our council?" Peter asks.

"Us three would make a good start." Fury says, trying to get his foot in the door.

"Us?" Tony asks with an upturned eyebrow.

"Yes, us." Fury repeats with a serious nod. "The Avengers Initiative was my plan, to begin with. I've been working on it for 15 years of my life, compiling information on every enhanced individual I could find. I refuse to be left out. Also, with my involvement, Shield as a whole would be more inclined to agree with all of this."

Tony started arguing with Fury, but Peter zones out as he began to think about this whole situation.

Fury is a trustable person. The problem with him is his allegiance to a corrupt organization. He may have a hard angry outer shell, but the man does what he does to keep the world safe, which Peter respected.

"Stop!" Peter yells as he came to decision.

Instantly, Tony and Fury stopped arguing and turned toward Peter.

"We haven't even gotten the ball rolling on any of this. Right now this is all just an idea. Let's see if we can get the president to agree before we start arguing about the council positions."
