Walking into the large metal room Steve felt a sense of Deja Vu- he had of course been told by Nick Fury that the world might need the Avengers again, but two months seemed a little too soon- not that he was complaining.
Since waking up in a different time zone Steve Rogers had to adapt to new situations, the hardest of all was waking up and knowing everyone he ever cared about was gone, dead. Meeting new people in a different time zone was too hard, Steve found himself in the gym for the better part of the day and night. The two months break for the Avengers team dragged out for him, every night he would night he would feel uneasy, like something big was going to happen- the calm before the storm.
Glancing around the room his eyes fell onto the group of people he had become close to throughout Loki's attack.
"Captain". The small redhead smiled politely shaking his hand firmly. "I'm glad you could make it back so quickly given the circumstances S.H.I.E.L.D needs us all more than ever.
"If I may ask what circumstances have occurred Ma'am? I don't really no why I've been brought back". A faint blush tainted Steve's cheek. Walking over to sit across from Natasha he noticed that Dr. Banner was already seated staring intently at the pair speaking.
"Loki's back". Whispered Bruce, a disturbed look in his eyes just mentioning the Gods name.
"Sorry guys but I think it would be better if Fury explained everything once Agent Barton and Stark arrive". addressed the master assassin smiling fondly as Clint walked in right on cue, Tony Stark waltzing in after him with an arrogant smile on his face.
"Listen everyone, I know how hard it must have been spending two months away from me but surely it would have been easier to throw a surprise party for me and Miss Potts rather than dragging me back to the helicarrier". Stark winked at Natasha, attempting to flirt with the master assassin who just rolled her eyes.
Steve had never been fond of Stark, his confidence and smugness reminded him of the bullies he had encountered during the war.
Another punch to the jaw and Steve was thrown to the ground. This wasn't the first time he'd been beaten up in an alley way. But Steve always fought for what he believed in.
"You just don't know when to give up, do you?" Came the smug booming voice of the bully.
"I can do this all day" Steve whispered his skinny frame lunging for a punch, only to be knocked down by Dugan's fist.
It had started with Dugan being disrespectful in the cinema, shouting rude remarks about soldiers in the war.
"Hello?" Tony's sarcastic voice snapped Steve awake from his flashback. "I think Cap here has been on ice too long".
"Quiet." Boomed Nick Fury striding through the glass doors to face the Avengers team sitting around the oval table.
Everyone turned to stare at Fury, Steve realised he had been holding his breath and sighed relaxing into the metal seat. "I understand that most of you do not know yet why S.H.I.E.L.D has called you back? Well I am sad to inform you that Loki's attack 2 months ago was only the start. We have news that he has escaped from Asgard and is somewhere here on earth. This time we are going to need help from outsiders to keep earth protected, you see we are extremely outnumbered".
Fury glanced at his team in front of him walking over to the screens which were currently projecting all of their files. Flicking through he watched the video of clips of their fight in New York only two months ago.
Images of Natasha, Clint and Steve all fighting against the creatures on the ground. Tony flying through the air holding off the huge worm like creature with the help of Thor and the Hulk.
Their last battle had left New York in ruins, and had nearly left Tony dead. Things in the US had only started to look and feel normal again, the last thing they needed was Loki turning up again.
Steve sat up straight slightly nervous at the thought of Earth being attacked and destroyed again.
"You said help from outsiders Sir, do you have anyone in mind?" Steve swallowed aware of all eyes peering at him.
Fury smiled grimly tapping at the screens in front of him.
"Actually, I have just the girl".
