Prolog
"Director, are you sure this is a good idea?" A tall woman asked as she followed a dark man.
"If it wasn't a good idea we wouldn't be doing this, Agent Hill." The man responded as he kept up his quick pace.
"And the Avengers. In 12 years they will be ready for this?" Asked Agent Hill.
"They'll have to be. They've helped us greatly these past years, but one day they wont be here, and we'll need someone to take over for them." The dark male responded.
"Director Fury, how will these parents kids react when they find out that their children will be taken from them in a few years time?" She asked.
"Agent Coulson has worked all of that out," Director Nick Fury replied.
"And the Council? What have they said about all of this?" Hill interrogated.
"What the Council doesn't know cant hurt them." Fury told her calmly.
Maria raised an eyebrow and stopped walking. "The Council doesn't know about this?"
"No, they do not. You've seen how the Counsel don't really support my ideas and plans, even when they go perfectly. They've learned to keep their distance." He responded. "Now, you best catch up with Agent Coulson. He will need help delivering the kids back to their houses."
"And the parents don't mind that you just stole—"
Coulson walked up to the two from behind and interrupted "Borrowed."
"-Their kids to insert them with the genes of the Avengers?" She continued glaring at Agent Coulson.
"Well actually, we inserted them with a specialized genealogical pattern. The pattern would appear in the kids as time went by, making each of them a specialized unit to work with one of the Avengers." Coulson corrected. "And we didn't tell the parents. This is Shield. We have the ability to claim things we need from public places."
"Children aren't units, and nor are they things, and houses are not public places." Maria pointed out.
"We still have legal rights to the children, Agent Hill." Director Fury told her.
"I never said we didn't." She stated, defensively.
"Agent Coulson, Agent Hill, please go bring the children back to their homes now. Before any of the Avengers finds these kids." Fury ordered.
At that Coulson and Agent Hill left to room together, and all that Fury could hear as they were leaving was the faint sound of Tony Stark singing "Hill and Coulson sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" in the other room.
