Chapter 1 – Avengers Assemble!

"Let me get this straight."

"Great," Clint rolled his eyes and mouthed to Natasha. "Here we go."

"We're all called together, rather ordered to gather. Here, in my tower, at this hour." Tony sighed. "To watch a movie, called 'Winter Soldier.'"

"Our tower."

"Excuse me?"

"Our tower," Clint repeated.

"How is it our tower?"

"It's called the Avengers tower, therefore I lay claim it's our tower."

"I paid for everything!"

"Yeah," Clint laughed. "But you still named it Avengers tower."

"Boys, none of you are helping." Natasha leaned back on the chair, sipping her wine. "We're just here to watch a movie, not a wrestling match."

"It's still my tower," Tony proclaimed. "Which brings me back to the point, why now?"

"Because Fury wants to know what else Hydra is up to." Steve answered. "He could've watched it on his own, but he wanted our opinions."

"What about the other one?" Bruce wondered.

"Fury and Coulson have gone through the entire Agents of Shield series." Natasha voiced. "That's why he needs this finally piece because it still doesn't add up. We've only learned a few things about Hydra, the Clairvoyant, Centipede and Shield."

"If only we had season 2, it might be easier."

"We aren't that lucky."

"Of course we're not." Clint snorted. "We're a bunch of unlucky bastards."

Tony asked Jarvis to prepare the popcorn for all of them, while Clint and Natasha sat together on the middle couch. Bruce sat on the right couch, while Steve sat on the other couch opposite it on the left. Their drinks and popcorn were now on the table, ready to be eaten.

"So what are we waiting for," Tony reached out. "Movie please?"

Natasha handed him a USB.

"Where's the DVD?" Tony made a face.

"It's in lock down, this is just a copy." She replied. "One we have to delete once we finished."

"Okay."

Tony plugged it in, had Jarvis secretly copy it and plopped down next to Bruce. Before he could play it, Clint snatched the remote from him like a well-trained spy and handed it to Natasha, who in turn handed it over to Steve.

"Rude much," Tony pouted.

"We can't watch yet." Steve said. "We're still waiting for somebody."

"At this hour?" Bruce asked.

"It's 10 in the evening, who the heck are you waiting for?" Tony complained.

"Be patient, alright?" Steve urged. "It won't be long."

"Better not be Coulson," He mumbled, then realized. "It's not him, is it? Because I have a few words I want to say to him and—"

"It's not him." Natasha shook her head. "He's out there working on Grant Ward and John Garrett."

"And how are they?" Bruce questioned.

"Oh, they're still in a damn cookie jar." Clint frowned. "I personally don't think it's a good idea to share what we know."

"It's Fury and Coulson's call." Natasha grimaced.

"And what is that?"

"I'm saying, Steve, that they want Coulson's entire AoS team to know, including those they trust." She said with a little disdain. "It won't go to the board of directors though, not until they have things under control."

"Care to elaborate?" Tony added.

"Do you want me to talk?" Clint asked.

"Go ahead," Natasha crossed her arms. "They have the right to know."

"The original team," Clint explained, using his fingers to count. "Melinda May, also known as the Cavalry, veteran pilot and soldier, Coulson's friend. Then there's Fitz-Simmons. Simmons works as a biochemist from the research division, while Fitz works as an engineer at the Sci-Tech division."

"Grant Ward, you already know," Natasha added. "Isn't to be trusted."

"Then there's Skye." He pointed out. "Genius hacker, fan of yours."

"Me?" Tony grinned.

"Don't get so full of yourself, I'm not done yet." Clint chuckled. "She has some of your personalities, I guess. But yeah, four of them get immediate access to the files. The others, not so much, Antoine Triplett, Billy, Eric and Sam Koenig are still being checked. Then there's this Raina we have to worry about."

"Don't forget Glenn Talbot from the military." Natasha added.

"Sounds familiar."

"You probably heard it from James Rhodes." Bruce supplied to Tony. "He's in the military."

"That reminds me," Steve remembered. "Thor needs to be alert too, right?"

"What for?"

"Fury told you too?" Clint grinned. "Apparently there's this Lorelei lady that can entice men to do her bidding. Some magic mumbo-jumbo. Thor's Asgardian girlfriend comes to the rescue."

"How do you know so much about this?"

"I don't know all the details," Steve said. "I'm trying to."

"We still work for Shield." Natasha answered. "Why do you think we're telling you all of this if Fury didn't want you to know?"

"Because he wants you to know." A voice spoke.

They all turned.

"Are you kidding me?" Tony stood up and loudly whined. "Great, party's over."

"Mr. Stark."

"Fury," He greeted. "Hill."

"Tony," She smirked.

"Bed time, kids!"

"The party's just getting started," Clint downed his wine and laughed. "Welcome to the club."

"Nice to see you too," Fury voiced.

"Bruce," Hill greeted. "Clint, Natasha… Steve."

Bruce and Natasha nodded at her, while Clint just chugged down on another glass of wine, and Steve raised a hand to greet Hill. Tony still wasn't satisfied as he stood there. Fury plopped down next to Natasha and Clint while Hill sat herself next to Steve.

"No time to discuss shit," Fury sighed. "Play it and let's get this over with."

"Just like that?" Tony grimaced. "No, how are you or anything."

"I know how impatient you are, Stark." Fury leaned back and laughed. "Besides, there's nothing to talk about. Natasha and Clint have informed you, with a little bit of Steve's words, am I right?"

"He does have a point," Bruce mumbled.

Tony just gave him a face.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Fury picked up a glass of wine for him and handed one over to Hill.

"Play it."

Tony walked over to Steve and snatched the remote from him, playing the screen and seating himself next to Bruce. He asked Jarvis to dim the lights and they all waited for the screen. The two assassins took a bowl of popcorn and busied themselves eating it. The rest got comfortable and did the same.

The screen faded from black and the epic music came, showing the comic pages and the Marvel logo. It turned black once more, fading into a rising sun on the road and a view of a lake.

A man was jogging along, when all of a sudden, Steve was running full speed.

"Is that Steve?!" Tony almost choked.

"On your left."

"That's him alright." Clint nodded.

It changed into another scene with four huge pillars, and the same man was jogging. Then Steve came running past again.

"On your left."

"Uh huh," Sam voiced. "On my left, got it."

"I can already tell what's going to happen." Tony laughed.

It changed into another scene and the same man was still jogging, with Steve running towards him again. He was sweaty and exhausted, while Steve looked pumped up and ready to go.

"Don't say it!" Sam whined. "Don't you say it!"

"On your left."

"Come on!"

They gave each other a knowing look before they burst out laughing. Steve looked slightly horrified. Clint was downright laughing while Natasha and Hill smothered their giggles. The rest of them tried to keep a stoic face just for the sake of continuing on.

"You're such an asshole." Tony commented.

As Sam struggled to catch up, Steve was already far away.

"Well this is going to be an interesting movie." Tony chuckled, grinning behind his glass.

"Interesting is one word to describe it," Bruce wholeheartedly agreed.
