Summary: Good and Evil aren't always defined, and Director Fury had always been able to sleep at night no matter what category his decisions fell under as long as the outcome was for the "greater good". Well, all except for one involving a strange girl, a strange ability, and a dark cell, but maybe a ragtag team of "superheroes" can fix what he never could.
Disclaimer (for entire story): I don't own the Avengers only Melody.
Prologue:
Fury sighed through his nose, back turned away from Phil Coulson trying to think of some way around it. Phil had approached him with a plan that could potentially save the world, and fix his one mistake as a leader. He was seeing too many holes in this plan, and there was too much at stake for him to outright agree to it.
But too many desperate emotions he usually kept in check were running rampant in his head not allowing him to say no either.
"With all due respect, sir, and the fate of the world aside, this may be our one chance to free her." He could tell Phil wanted to say more. Things about Melody's health, both mental and physical, caused by her confinement were most likely, and Fury was oddly grateful for the restraint.
"I have no other option do I? Our back up plan was compromised even before it got off the planning table, and this guy has the potential and now the means to destroy the world. If more time was available, I wouldn't even consider this." Fury paused for a moment, knowing that was quite possibly a lie. Lying was a familiar feeling, and he needed a bit of familiar at the moment.
"Of course, sir." Nick didn't have to turn around to see the growing grin and the hope spread across Phil's face. He could hear it in his voice.
"But," He sighed, "Time is not something we have." Turning to Phil he continued. "And you're right. I don't believe we will have a proposal for her release the council would actually agree to. You have my permission to start up the Avengers Initiative, but keep Melody under a need-to-know classification. I have a feeling some in this ragtag team might not agree to join us if they know much about her. I'll convince the Council. We'll assemble the Avengers, and then we'll introduce Melody Carmen."
The Cheshire cat grin on Agent Coulson's face couldn't have gotten any bigger. Frankly, that amount of happy was freaking Director Fury out a little.
"Oh, and Agent Coulson, I will handle recruiting Captain America. We need someone that isn't going to fan girl all over him." There. Phil's diminishing grin was a little easier for Nick to handle now.
