Author's Note: I'M SO SORRY. I know I should have updated sooner but I for some reason couldn't get this chapter right? Like every time I wrote it I hated it and tbh I'm still not happy but I've given up with it. Also y'know life keeps getting in the way so I'm not going to say when this will next be updated because I have no idea. But I'm going to try to have two fics going at the same time in the hope that it'll somehow make it easier for me to write. Maybe won't get writers block as much? Who knows? Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter even though I don't like it. X
Chapter Nine: The Ragtag Group Of Heroes
"The Avenger Initiative?" Draco asked confusion dancing in his eyes.
Phil took a moment to collect his thoughts and began to explain. He wanted to make sure that Draco understood what was happening and what he was saying. The teen was intelligent and Phil knew this but he wanted - no - had to be sure that Draco could make a well informed decision instead of going in guns blazing like a certain billionaire he knows. So he explained. Every little detail. While Draco sat there silently and listened carefully only asking questions occasionally which Phil happily answered. By the time he had finished explaining, including telling Draco who the other avengers would be, they had been sat there for almost an hour.
"So I would have to be around the cube again?" The teen asked after a moments silence.
"Once we get it back yes but there will be safety measures of course." Phil responded trying to reassure the teen.
"You sound like a sales person." Draco muttered.
"Well I have been trying to sell it to the others for the past few days."
"Is that where you've been?"
"Yeah but I didn't really explain it all that much to them but I want you to have all the information before deciding what to do." Phil answered. Draco sat in silence considering his options. If he doesn't help it'll just take them a bit longer to do whatever it is that they are trying to do, renewable energy or something, whereas if he helped it would be done quicker and surely that was a good thing if it was going to help the environment? He sat there thinking for a number of minutes and in the end decided to help. Phil gave him a small smile and nodded his head.
"You better get ready then you start today."
Soon they were on the tri-carrier which was currently sat in the sea. There were people running about and planes taking off or landing. One plane landed nearby and a beautiful redhead stepped off followed by a lost and confused looking Captain America, who Draco recognised purely because Phil was obsessed. Draco watched as the redhead and the captain greeted a nervous looking man. They chatted for a moment and the two men walked over to the edge when the tri-carrier began to rise. The smaller man seemed to become more nervous as they all headed inside and Phil gestured to Draco to follow them. They headed inside and were led to what seemed to be the main room. There were people seated at computers all around the room and Nick Fury stood at the centre.
"Gentlemen," He nodded as he greeted them, "Doctor, thank you for coming."
"Thanks for asking nicely. So how long am I staying?" Doctor Banner replied. Draco stood still taking in his surroundings. Finding all of the exits first, just in case, then taking in the amount of computers. Seriously? How many computers do they need? Then again they are muggles. The uniforms they all wore were horrible in his opinion but they seemed functional. Draco realised he zoned out and when he came back to reality he found the redhead looking at him obviously waiting for him to do something. After a moment she tilted her head towards the door and he followed her and Doctor Banner out of the room.
Author's Second Note: Oh yeah if any of you have an idea for a code name for Draco that would be really useful because I've got nothing. Thanks!
