The Sapphire Stone Mission

While the hologram in the center of the table turned slowly around, allowing all seven of the room's occupants to see it clearly, Nick Fury was not looking at the stone, but at the other six people.

There was Natasha Romanov, the Black Widow, who saw the stone as a challenge to be completed. A trophy to acquire. A mountain to climb. No mountain was too steep for the black widow.

Then of course there was her partner, and best friend, Clint Barton, otherwise known as Hawkeye. He studied the stone, taking note of it's shining blue surface, the way it curved just so at the edges. He knew that they could retrieve it, but he also noted how dangerous it would be.

Tony Stark however, did not see the danger, he saw the stone, he heard the orders. The orders to retrieve the stone were crystal clear. He would get the stone back, and he would be praised for doing so.

When Bruce Banner saw the stone on the hologram, he was taken aback. He was thinking of another stone. A certain blue rock. The tesseract. The thing that nearly destroyed the world. He knew it was important to get back, and he knew his team was up for the job.

Thor say quietly at the end of the table, looking at the stone with an almost bored look on his face. He thought to himself that acquiring the stone would be easy. He knew they'd get it back. Although he also knew of the danger behind such power. He knew it was important to control the energy within the stone. It could, if used correctly, be more deadly than the tesseract that nearly killed every living soul on earth.

Steve Rogers, known to many as Captain America. He sat there, for a moment thinking of the stone, then only of his teammates and the enemy. How the fight would play out, whether they could be stealth or end up being reckless. Of course, he knew, with Tony Stark on his side, there would be no chance of stealth. He thought for sure that by the end of the mission, that the stone would be in their possession.

"So, when do we leave?" Tony asked eagerly, jumping up from his seat.

Nick Fury gave him a shake of his head, then turned to the rest of the group, "You leave in twenty minutes, there's a quinjet waiting for you in the hanger."

He then turned and left through a sliding door that opened at his touch.

"Natasha and Clint will pilot, I'll ride, Stark flies, Thor flies, Banner rides. Stark, do not start anything until we get there," Steve warned, then left to gather his shield and armor.

Everyone nodded to his plans and prepared themselves. They were all in the hanger exactly twenty minutes later.

"What are we waiting for? It'll be fun," Natasha whispered to Clint as they boarded the quinjet.

"Budapest all over again," Clint teased, earning a punch in the shoulder from Natasha.

"I'll see you there!" Tony yelled into the commlink, using his suit to take off out the hanger doors, followed by a quinjet carrying the rest of the team.

New story, testing new waters. What did you guys think of the beginning? I've never done first person points of view for some of these characters, but I think I did a decent job.

Honestly, I can't wait to continue this story. Chapter two will be out either as soon as I find the time orrrr... It can be out sooner based on reviews, follows, and favorites!

XD Hahaha! The power of the review section! *drum roll*

Love you guys, Give me some feedback below if you enjoyed, (even if you didn't, constructive criticism welcome),
