Chapter 4: Of Flags and Suits

"So, what seems to be the matter Natasha dear?" Tony murmured sarcastically. Seriously, why was everyone having a grand old time at his tower? Natasha glared at the nickname and spoke. "High levels of Braunes have been found in Cannes, France. Director Fury doesn't think it's anything, but Agent Hill wants us to check it out regardless." Steve frowned. "What' Braunes?" Bruce looked at him. "The full name is Braunes Erinnerungen, Brown memories, Braunes is a brownish chemical that when a person inhales too much they go into a coma and eventually, when they wake up, they're most prominent memories are gone."

"Yes, and there is an unusual amount of it in Cannes." Pepper then spoke in confusion. "Wait, then why do I need to go in for protection?" Natasha sighed. "We think a person is responsible for it and if they see that The Avengers- let alone Tony, is on their trail, they might take you." Pepper nodded. Clint looked at her going into full espionage mode. "Why does Agent Hill need all of us to come in?" "I have no clue." "Maybe it's something bigger than just the Braunes," Steve suggested. "a whole network of people trying to do something bigger." They all nodded at the possibility.

Then something unexpected happened.

A big explosion from about 3 yards away caused them all to slam into the opposite wall. As they gasped to catch their breath a shadowy figure appeared. Then, Thor stepped out of the smoke. "Friends!" He boomed. "How lovely it is to see you! What has happened to make you so weary?" Tony coughed. "Uhh, Thor, buddy, why did you enter like that?" Thor smiled sheepishly. "Sorry. But I heard you required my assistance." "I'll fill you in,"Natasha said. "The rest of you, suit up." The next hour was filled of Pepper packing up clothes for the time being, Tony debating which suit to wear in his lab/workshop, Steve following him there because his suit and shield were at home, Clint and Bruce making out (again), and Thor listening to Natasha's explanation.

It took about 20 minutes for the jet to arrive, in which they all caught up on each others lives. No one was really shocked to hear that Tony and Steve were together.

Agent Hill stepped off the jet to greet them. "Hello, people, I trust Agent Romanoff has filled you in on the details of this mission. You will be dropped off in Cannes and are to report to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base stationed there immediately, but remember Fury can't know so I'll do my best to send him on a wild goose chase while you complete the mission. Is that clear?" They all nodded in absolute seriousness. "Great. Captain Rogers your suit and shield have been picked up from your apartment and are in your bunk."

He nodded and they got onto the jet and Steve vaguely wondered how they got into his apartment before remembering that they were S.H.I.E.L.D. As he looked around his bunk he felt another warm body press up against his backside. He smiled warmly "Hello there." Tony spoke up. Steve pressed back into him. "Mmm, I need to change." "I can help you with that. "You'd be more interested in getting me undressed than dressed." "Is that really a bad thing?" Steve chuckled "When we have a mission, yes. And there are people everywhere." "That just makes it all the more exciting. The thrill of getting caught. And most likely everyone knows already so, come on sweetheart, lets make some stars." Steve turned around, now holding his suit. "I have things to do sweet heart." He gently pushed Tony out of the room. Tony was pouting when he shut the door. Steve just laughed at him and went to pull his suit over his head. 'Tony is so... Tony.' He thought smiling.

Well I didn't have much time so it's pretty short sorry the next one will be longer :) Bye now!
