Chapter 1

The Avengers had been called to the helicarrier for an emergency meeting with Director Fury. Steve knew what it was going to be about. Probable about how Stark shouldn't be experimenting and blow up his work shop in the basement of the Stark Tower, while blowing up nearly the whole street outside of the Tower too.

The Avengers walked into the meeting room to find Maria Hill stood at the head of the table behind where Fury sits. When they were called on 'an emergency' meeting, the room would always be empty and Fury would then walk in ten minutes later with Maris Hill following. She nodded at them, as they came in. They took their seats and looked at Agent Hill. She had the same expression as Natasha.

'I guess you know why you're all here,' She said looking over at Stark.

'It wasn't my fault,' he said holding his hands up. '…Well wasn't entirely my fault.' He said looking back at Agent Hill.

'Oh really… so it wasn't your fault. It wasn't your fault that your experiment, that you were doing, in your lab, in your tower, blew up and destroyed the whole street.' She said crossing her arms and staring at Toy daring him to argue. Clint looked over from Agent Hill towards Tony and then back at Agent Hill. He had to admit that if he was Stark he would shut up because she looked like someone you shouldn't mess with. She reminded him of Natasha a lot. Best not tell Nat about that he thought.

'Hey I did say it wasn't entirely my fault. Plus only two people got injured… and it didn't destroy the whole street,' Stark said. Miss Hill up her hands on the back of Fury's empty seat.

'Yeah, not the whole street. That's ok right, I mean if it was the whole street then that would be an entirely different thing, wouldn't Stark?' She said, sounding pissed off. But before Tony could say anything. Bruce butt in.

'Tony just drop it. It was your fault ok,' Bruce said, who was sitting opposite Stark. Stark looked at him about to say something, but the door opened and Fury walked in. Agent Hill dropped her hands from his chair and stepped back. She was in the usual position. Hands behind her back, shoulders pressed back, standing tall and looking very professional. Fury nodded at her as he sat down. He looked down at the table.

'Stark…' Fury said and looked up at the inventor sat at the end of the table looking very stubbed.

'Yes dear pirate,' he replied. Fury ignored the comment and continued.

'As Agent Hill would have explained. The incident at Stark Tower was your fault. Damages need fixing. We want you to pay for it.' Fury said.

'What… no I'm not paying to fix some building across the street, that I don't even know. I need to pay and fix my own tower and lab first. The building across the street will have to come second.' Stark said crossing his arms. Clint and Natasha leaned forward.

'This is going to be fun,' Clint whispered in Natasha ear so no-one else could hear. She knew what he meant. Fury was a serious man and you shouldn't mess with him. Fury always got what he wanted, but so did Stark. Stark was stubbed and won't be told what to do, unless it was Captain America shouting orders down the com in battle then yeah, Stark was a stubbed guy. Fury sighed.

'Stark we need you to apologise to the owners on the street that either had all and half of their building being blown up and damaged.' Fury said.

'And I will fine, I'll even build them a better tower, well not as good as mine but you know a little better than they were before but I need to sort out my lab first. Did a mention my lab was in the basement of my tower,' Iron man said leaning back in his chair.

'Yes I know it's in the basement and yes the tower could 'fall' is you didn't fix it. But all we are asking is that you apologise and give them some money so they can fix their building,' Fury said.

This was going to be a long time. Stark didn't understand, he didn't have to build them a building just to apologise and pay for them to be fixed. Stark had more than enough money to pay for just a couple of buildings to be fix for the damaged done by himself. But Tony wasn't a person that would straight out apologise, even when it was his fault.

Agent Hills shifted in her position. Her shoulders had dropped. She shifted her weight from her left leg to her right. Steve could see that being stood up for a long time and not moving was uncomfortable for Miss Hill. Steve looked around at the others. Bruce had his head in his heads, tired and bored. If it wasn't for Bruce moving every so often, Steve would have fought that Bruce had fallen asleep. His eyes moved to Thor who was just staring out the window, oblivious to what is happening in the room. Clint was stilling looking from Tony to Fury, listening to the disagreement. Natasha had soon loss interest in it and was staring at the wall with her arms crossed. They all couldn't leave because it would draw attention to them and they would be asked why they were leaving to meeting when it hadn't finished, so the rest of the Avengers mentally decided together that they would all stick it out.

Miss Hill shifted her weight for her right foot to her left. Steve had to ask.

'Miss Hill,' Steve said.

'Yes Mr Rogers,' she replied. Fury and Tony didn't stop talking.

'Would you like to sit down, I fear that this disagreement wouldn't end soon?' Steve said pulling out the chair next to him. Tony looked over at Steve and so did Fury. Agent Hill raised an eyebrow.

'Go ahead, like Captain said this is not going to end soon,' Fury said and then turned back to Stark who was now saying that it wasn't his fault about the explosion and that it was Dummy who had distracted him while doing the experiment.

Agent Hill straighten up and walked over to the chair next to Captain Rogers. Natasha's eyes followed Maria as she walked over and sat next to him. She raised her eyebrows and then went back to staring at the wall. Clint leaned over to Bruce, who still had his head in his hands and hadn't looked up for a long time.

'You're not dead are you mate?' Clint asked. Bruce chuckled.

'No… well not yet. Never know I might make history to be the first to die of boredom,' Bruce said. Clint laughed.

'Not worry mate we all will too,' Clint said and turned back to Fury and Tony. Bruce looked over at Steve and Agent Hill.

'Thank you by the way,' Agent Hill whispered to Steve. He smiled at her.

'No probable Miss Hill. I just didn't like seeing you in discomfort,' Steve said, his checks going red as he did.

Agent Hill smiled but only a little. Steve was a bit shocker. He had never seen Miss Hill smile. She always had the same expression on her face. Not smiling or anything. She was like Natasha, that's probably why Natasha and Miss Hill would get a long a little. Steve blinked.

'Thank you again anyway,' Miss Hill said and turned away to look at Natasha and then at Fury, she dropped her small smile.

The disagreement wen on for a little long. Until Natasha was the first to snap. The Avengers were seeing who would snap first and Bruce was surprised to see it was Natasha.

'Right that's enough. I've enjoyed this but please stop. Stark you will go and apologise to the two injured people and then you will go pay the owners. I don't care what you say, it's final.' She glared at him as Tony was about to say something and thought better of it. She grabbed Clint's arm and headed to the door.

'I was enjoying that,' Clint complained lightly.

'Yeah well no-one else was and someone was about to snap and I just didn't want it to be Bruce. After what happen last time the Hulk made an appearance on the helicarrier, the whole ship nearly went down,' Natasha said as they went round the corner.

Bruce was the next to leave followed by Thor. Tony stood up and walked out in a huff, probable going to apologise and pay now so he didn't have to do it later with an angry assassin next to him breathing down his neck as he did.

Fury stood up and so did Agent Hill. Fury left the room. Steve followed after Miss hill out the door.

'Goodbye for now, I guess we will see each other soon, with Stark's habit of blowing stuff up,' and with that Agent Hill turned and walked down the corridor after Fury and Clint and Natasha. Steve chuckled and walked down the other corridor wanting to go back to the tower.
