He could not believe that Fury wanted him to be apart of the new Avengers Initiative. He had seen the original plan and knew he was not part of the original picks. He was low on that list. He was not enhanced in any way or form. All he was was a person of high intelligence. Also, he was Iron Man.

Today he was supposed to go meet the rest of the team. He was not excited. He was going to be fighting against a Norse god of mischief and magic with his hotshot lightning brother. A woman who pretended to work for his company, a man who shoots how and arrows, a scientist who turns into a green rage monster, and a mystery man who is going to lead the mismatched group. Why Fury thought this was a good idea, he had no idea himself.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The helicarrier was massive compared to any that Tony had seen before. Sure he had created huge weapons that could destroy entire cities, but this thing could level whole territories with the weapon system.

He examined the engines when He noticed other people had arrived. A woman with bright red hair was talking to a shorter man with blond hair cut short. She seemed to be talking right into the ear of the man.

Off to the side, an older man was looking over the edge looking kind of worried about being on the carrier. Tony did not blame him at all. He, of course, was Bruce Banner aka The Hulk. Tony was surprised that He even allowed on the ship in the first place. With him becoming a green rage monster and all.

Tony was about to go over and talk to the man to try and call him down. To welcome him to the Avengers, even though he himself had not yet been introduced to them yet himself. When he felt.the hair on his arms stands upright.

Tony looked up to the sky and saw a man coming down in a cloud of lightning. The man was tall and solid muscle. He wore a strange armor and had long blond hair and heard that the Roberston family would be proud of. He carried some sort of hammer in one of his hands. All of the Avengers had arrived except their leader.

The engines turned on and the craft was slowly lifting up in the air when Fury came out to greet them in his own way.

"What the hell are you still doing out here. Do you all have a death wish? Get inside before you blow off the edge. We start the meeting in the next five minutes. You better not be late. I am looking at you Stark! "

They all rushed to the door before the wind became too strong for them to fight against.

Inside was like the actual S.H.E.I.L.D headquarters. With the long extensive hallways filled with people going to and from break. Going to meetings, talking about their plans for later. People training, running up and down the hallway lifting weights as they went.

It gave Tony a headache just watching them back an forth. A voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Well if you are done watch people actually work, its time to move on. Or I will make your ass move. "

Tony continued to follow Fury through the maze of hallways. He thought that Fury was doing it on purpose to try and get them confused and intimidated.

Tony looked over at the rest of the group and saw that they did not seem concerned about the twisty hallways. Nat was still talking with the short blond man and laughing with like they had been friends for years. Thor was looking around in amazement at all the blinking lights from the monitors that they passed. Banner was the only other one who seemed to share the same worry that he did. He kept looking back over his shoulder to see where he had come from. Tony felt had for the man.

All he had wanted to do was replicate the super soldier serum when everything went wrong.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a long walk, they finally reached the meeting room. It was filled with rows and rows of computers. Each one had a person sitting behind it working on whatever the hell S.H.E.I.L.D worked on. Up a few stairs sat a glass table surrounded by comfy chairs. Fury led the way the table and sat down. The rest of them followed suit. From the table, they could look out the huge Windows and see them pass the clouds.

Fury seemed upset about something and was talking very loudly to a woman with black hair pulled back into a bun.

Tony moved closer to be able to hear what they were saying.

"Where is he? " Fury sounded angry.

"He was training this morning, and when he heard about the square is under attack, he just left with a team. I am sure he will be back soon."

" Hill, how the hell is he going to be able to get on this carrier?"

"He left in one of the mini warships. If we don't go much higher, they will be still able to reach us."

"Fine. But I swear if he is not back in the next half hour, I personally will drag him back kicking and screaming."

Tony wondered if Fury was talking about their mysterious leader who was her to show up. Fury came back over to the group and tried to act like everything was going according to plan. Tony knew better.

"How about Y'all make small talk about what you're getting your mom for Christmas. There are just a last few details I have to check on."

Fury left them standing there looking around at each other. Nat turned back to the man and seemed to be asking him about what was going on when Tony stepped in. 

"I heard Fury talking about someone not being here yet. They said that he  Nat turned back to the man and seemed to be asking him about what was going on when Tony stepped in.

"I heard Fury talking about someone not being here yet. They said that he was fighting a battle right now, somewhere on the ground. They are worried that he will not be able to get to us. In my opinion, I would be worried about surviving a battle with Loki, not whether if I get to the meeting on time."

"I agree, mortal. My brother is a very worthy opponent for the best warriors on Asgard. I fear that he will not survive, whoever he is." The man with the hammer had made his way toward the conversation.

"So you must be Thor, right? You know the prince of the cloud world. The one who has sparkles come from his hammer." Tony wanted to make sure to let everyone know who was boss on this team.

"My hammers name is Mjölnir, it is one of the most important weapons in the whole universe. Also, my kingdom is Asgard, not this cloud city that you talk about. What do you mean sparkles? I cause lightning to fall from the sky. Can you command the sky mortal"

"Well it is nice to meet you all," Nat cut in before they could kill each other in the first 5 minutes of meeting.

"It is very nice to make your acquaintance young maiden. I will enjoy having you at my side in battle." 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They talked for a little bit longer when Fury came to meet them.

"He should arrive soon. I think it is time to finally get this meeting started."

They all sat around the glass table waiting for Fury to start to explain what they were doing there. Fury seemed to be glancing at the door every few seconds as if waiting for something to walk through them. Hill seemed to be doing the exact same thing.

They did not have to wait much longer. A man walked through the door. He did not look like he had just been on a mission. His blond hair was nicely combed. He wore civilian clothing, a brown leather jacket, blue shirt, and pants. He was a tall man, around 6'4, and was ripped. He had muscles on his muscles.

His blue eyes found where the rest of them were sitting and went up the stairs to join them.

Fury seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the man was unhurt. He shook his hand and motioned for him to sit down. The man sat next to Tony and look forward.

Tony could not put his finger on it. This man looked so familiar, it was annoying.

Fury cleared his throat.

"Well now that we are all here, I think we can start. S.H.E.I.L.D has been working on a program, to recruit a group of special people. People with different experiences, skill sets and knowledge. You are all here because you each have something unique about you, that others do not have. We have looked through all your records and handpicked you for things you have done for others, known or unknown. We want to make a team of people to fight the battles others can't. To endure things others would break under. To help others when no help is to be found. You answer to me, and I answer to the president of the United States."

"What can we do that others can't?" The short man asked.

"Let me give you an example. Natasha has been on more undercover missions then any other S.H.E.I.L.D agent has. You each can make a difference in your own way. This is why we need each one of you. If one of you does not except this opportunity, none of you can have it. You each need each other to survive the battles others can't."

"What can each of us do? You still have not told us that." Banner looked up from the table, which he had been staring at since they had gotten there.

Fury took a deep breath then sat down himself. He folded his hands on the table and looked at each of them in the eye.

"Listen to this closely. You are all important to this cause. What each of you can do is beside the point, if we don't have all of you on board. But if you really want to know what each of you can do, can tell you. Clint, you can shot arrows and hit your target nearly every time, you have ties in almost every country and can forge any documents. Nat, you are one of the most talented people. You can turn yourself into anyone and get away with it. You know languages then I care to know myself. Banner, we need your knowledge to figure out what certain energies are. Also, with practice, you can control the Hulk. Thor, you are a god. You know about threats that have not even crossed our minds. You have spent hundreds of more years on battle then we have. Tony, you have access to labs and are well known around the world. Steve, well you did save America."
