AN: Okay, yes I know the summary sucks, give it a chance though, please. This is my first fic with this universe or these universes. Yes i know they're Marvel and DC, but I thought that it would make for an interesting fic if they were combined. I only know what I know about the characters from the movie and the cartoon verse, so I'm sorry if there are discrepancies in the characters or the setting or whatever else. Read and review, let me know if you think I should continue. A better summary will be posted when this story line develops a little more. Anyways, please let me know what you think. I know that this chapter doesn't go anywhere, but it's important, despite the fact that it may appear to make no sense in the end, however, isn't that just part of the fun, though? Guess, you'll have to wait and see for yourselves, but the only way you're going to be able to do that, is if you read and review. :)
I own nothing, sadly. And as for the rating, it's simply because I'm paranoid.
"Who is that?" Captain America asks as he leans back in his chair. He looks over at the two SHIELD agents sitting on either side of him. Natasha Romanov and Clint Barton are both experts in the know of SHIELD. Unfortunately, despite being basically what one would consider a full-time SHIELD agent himself, Captain America still doesn't know everything the organization does. Also, he's fairly certain that during the time he was trying to catch up on what he lost during his time frozen, that he had seen the guy's face somewhere in papers or tabloids. He just can't place the face.
Before Natasha can say anything in response, Tony Stark comes barreling through the door with Pepper Potts and Bruce Banner close on his heels. "Why on earth, would Fury call us in and why in God's name is that idiot, airhead up here?" He complains as he takes his seat.
"Tony." Pepper starts to scold.
The man they are referring to is walking next to Nick Fury, they are both deep in conversation and are heading into another room. Clint Barton flips on the security cameras for the Hellicarrier and they all turn towards the surveillance.
"I don't know what he can provide for Fury that I can't." Tony grumbles. "I'm a billionaire, philanthropist, playboy, and a superhero, that guy is just the first three."
"Why are you all here?" Steve Rogers asks, suddenly frowning. He was under the impression that Natasha, Clint, and him were in there to discuss upcoming missions, but with two other avengers arriving, that idea is proving to be false.
"Who knows." Tony throws his hands up in the air and leans back in his seat. He crosses his arms over his chest and huffs.
"Cut it out, Tony, the guy has more money than you, and his business is ten times the size of yours. It makes sense that Nick Fury would be trying to break away from the public funding and try to rake in as much private investors as he can." Pepper states, "Stark Industries can't do everything, no matter what you might think."
Tony narrows his eyes and studies the screen, "Still, him, why does it have to be him?"
"What's a matter Tony, you upset because you think that he'll rival you in the playboy, philanthropist sect?" Natasha retorts sarcastically.
"You know I liked you better before you revealed your secret agent life. You were so cordial and naïve." Tony states, but his tone displays a lightness to it.
"Who is he?" Captain America asks, once again. Clearly he's on the out when it comes to this. Everyone else seems to be in the know, but he isn't. He'd like to follow what they're talking about, but he can't. He can't seem to grasp fully what they're saying. It all centers around this man in a suit, who is now entering a room with Nick and sitting down at a table.
He's well-dressed, looks like a billionaire. Certainly, carries himself like he's larger than life. Captain America isn't sure what he thinks of him, but one thing's for certain, he's not sure he likes the guy.
"Where's Thor?" Tony asks, looking around expectantly, "Why didn't you phone him, then this little group meeting could be complete."
"The king of Asguard has more important things to worry about, than a meeting." Natasha answers smartly.
"And I don't?" Tony asks, with a hint of outrage, "I have company to run, so if you'll excuse me." He stands up and starts to head towards the door.
"Tony, come on." Pepper tries again.
"…and I thought that Thor was the Prince, not the King." Tony corrects with a frown.
"This is all fascinating, but can someone please tell me who this guy is?" Captain asks, exasperation is evident in his tone. He's asked this question three times already, and he really didn't want to be stuck asking it a fourth time and have Stark interrupt him again.
"That guy in there is the CEO of Wayne Enterprises, Bruce Wayne." Natasha answers, finally.
If that sparks any recognition to the Captain his face doesn't show it and for a good few seconds, no one says anything.
"Oh, who's that?" Steve asks with a frown. He's certain he should know the name, but he'll be damned if he can place the name.
Bruce Banner just shakes his head and frowns with a sigh. This is certainly going to be interesting.
