I got this idea and since my muses didn't give me anything else I decided to trust them to have something in mind and wrote it out. Sure enough, I got an idea for Teen Titans: Back to School (angel choir =P) But I thought this idea deserved it's own story so, here you go. Enjoy!
S.H.E.I.L.D. Headquarters
"Director Fury, the Avengers are getting older. They are beginning to have trouble in battle, and their bodies won't hold up as long from all the beatings they've taken. They won't last forever, and not too much longer before they'll have to be retired for their own good. We really need to begin thinking about replacing them."
"What options do we have that can possibly live up to the Avengers? Besides, that's not a priority right now. They still have to be accepted as a viable international defense team. They are mostly accepted by the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the U.K., but other countries are skeptical."
"Well there is Operation Generations. It was composed early on in the creating of the Avengers Initiative, when it was recognized that no heroes would last forever."
"How extensive is it?"
"There are several procedures and methods that can be used to locate and assess whether someone is a viable candidate for The Avengers."
"Good. initiate it."
"However we run the risk of finding no one who will actually cooperate and agree to join, or have the new team fall apart as the last team almost did when they were brought together to fight Loki."
"That's a risk we should be willing to take. Initiate it."
"Yes sir."
