I'm not a native speaker and this story isn't betaed, so I just hope it won't be too terrible to read.
Day 0
10.26 am
"Your reasons?".
"I prefer having one more ally and one less enemy, however precarious our truce can be. Moreover, we can take advantage of these days to study him".
"And he's going to do the same with us".
"That's why you won't take your eyes off him".
"Do I have permission to act, if the situation becomes critical?".
"With discretion. That's all, Romanoff. If you don't have any more questions, you're dismissed".
"I have one more, actually. Have you already told Barton?".
10.42 am
"No fucking way!".
"Barton, remember who you're talking to".
"No fucking way, sir".
11.51 am
"You've reached Tony Stark's voice mail. Leave a message and if you're not Fury I'll call you back".
2.01 pm
"I don't like it. What if it's a trap?".
"That's exactly why I want him surrounded by Avengers. Can I count on you, Captain?".
"Is it really necessary?".
"If it wasn't, I wouldn't have taken this decision".
3.29 pm
"You've reached Tony Stark's voice mail, again. And really, Fury, instead of trying to bother me, you should think of improving the security of your server. Even Hammer could crack the level 7 files you had tried to hide from me".
4.25 pm
"Miss Potts, please, make Stark answering my calls before I'm forced to send a team to violently extract him".
4.41 pm
"Rock of Ages as an ally? Good idea, Nick. Why don't you go for a tea party with Doom e Schmidt, next time? Maybe they could bond over their passion for masks and massacres."
"Shut the fuck up, Stark! I'm serious".
"..."
"Stark?".
"You really are in deep shit if you need his help".
4.42 pm
"Seven minutes and twenty-two seconds before you hung up on me. That's the new record for this month. So, Mr. Daddy Issues now plays for our team? And which cage are you going to put him in, considering he'll be able to escape whenever he wants to?".
"There won't be any cages. He's going to be officially welcome as an ally and will live in Stark Tower".
4.45 pm
"This is Tony Stark's voice mail. Nick, I strongly suggest you to abandon your foolish idea or I'll be forced to declare war against you".
5.35 pm
"Doctor Banner, I'm asking you to postpone your return for one or two weeks".
"Is it related with the fact that there will be soon a guest at Stark Tower? Tony already told me the news".
"Then you can understand the reason behind my request".
"Very well, Director, you have your week. But I can't assure that the Other Guy won't come out when I'll be facing Loki".
6.14 pm
"No, Stark, I won't let you pilot the Helicarrier in exchange of your hospitality in Loki's regard. If you still haven't understood, to accept Loki in your tower is an order, not a negotiation".
6.27 pm
"Yes, Miss Potts, I understand perfectly, but I can't assure the safety of the people who are living in the Stark Tower, especially considering that one of them is Stark".
"Tony can do what he wants, but as CEO of Stark Industries I have to protect my company".
"What are you asking me?".
"An official declaration that S.H.I.E.L.D. will pay whichever damage will be caused by Loki's permanence at the tower. In exchange, I'll keep the press away from the building and I won't let the journalists know that S.H.I.E.L.D. is coercing Tony into keeping in his home the mad alien who almost destroyed New York".
7.00 pm
"I'll expect you to behave like an ally. Do I have your word?".
"We have already discussed about that and I do not want to waste my time with such trifling details again. Call some servants, instead. I am ready to arrive to my new abode".
