Superheroes, Super Villains, Mutants, Gods, Alternate Realms. This is the reality of the daily workers of the S.H.I.E.L.D organization. It is the secret military and espionage agency's function to deal with all these and many others super human threats that lurked in this world. For the agents currently working there, it was just another normal day, including Philip Coulson. Another Group Interaction Meeting was going to be held.
The Avengers had handled well the Chitauri attack to Manhattan, but their initial bonds were totally shattered by Loki, whom almost reached his objective. Being the Earth's Mightiest Heroes, they should act as so, and no one - Super Villain or not - could be able to tear them apart. So, with the purpose of uniting the group and bringing their dynamic up, these meetings were held every now and then. Agent Coulson monitored the heroes along with a Specialized Tactics Division for their improvement to be always greater. Heading towards the Underground Facility, Phil and Steve sat on the back of a Hummer. Alone, they held hands and leaned against the other. No one in the organization - apart from Fury, whom was clever enough to figure out what was going on the day Steve refused to move out - knew about them being together, and they hadn't talked about telling everyone yet. Everything was still so new to both men; they were just enjoying their time together for now.
Reaching their destination, their hands parted and they got out of the huge black vehicle. Once inside, the hero and the agent entered the elevator that would take them down enough for noises not to be heard and tremors not to be sensed. Feeling at ease now, Steve grabbed his partner's hand once again. "I don't want to be apart from you, Phil" The soldier looked the other in the eyes. "Me neither, Steve. But I'm not sure if it's Ok for us to be walking hand in hand like this, I mean, we're 'co-workers' in some sort of way, right?" The agent looked apologetic. "Yeah, I guess you're right…" reaching the lowest level, the doors of the elevator opened, revealing the group of heroes already gathered inside; the Captain continued "But I wanna try it out" and, not letting go of the other's hand, the stronger man pulled him out of the elevator, faces turning towards them.
As the men walked in, a wild muss started. "Good morning, everyone" Steve greeted the noisy people in the room "What's up with all the noise so suddenly?" The man already knew the answer, but he wanted to hear it from their mouths. As the hero waited for an it, Phil stayed behind him, like a scared little children. "Umm… Nothing… We were just … you know, waiting for you. And here you are" Tony said, holding in a laugh that would probably come out sooner or later. Natasha's move then took the Captain unprepared. "All right guys, enough with the play. Pay up" the spy said, as she walked towards Tony and patted him on the shoulder. Tony's laugh did come out. "We won, you lost, and a deal's a deal" the Iron Man said to the other heroes. Steve didn't understand "Pay… Won? What do you mean?" he asked, walking in further with Coulson on his back, red as a tomato. Natasha then explained: "We made a bet on either you two would end up together or not. I honestly knew what was going around for a long time and Tony also figured it out some time later, but these guys here" – she motioned towards Bruce, Thor and Clint – "They defended your heterosexuality until the very end". Coulson, feeling uneasy under his sexuality and relationship with Steve being the subject of a bet, spoke for the first time, under his red tomato skin "Umm, Avengers, I do not think this is a time for fun. You should be training and working on your bonds. Let's get started once and for all." And, as he was about to leave Steve's hand to head to the Observatory Room, Tony replied: "But, Agent, we are indeed bonding here, you know. And, speaking of it, tell us, how was bonding with the Captain here? Was it good… you know? How long was it… the bonding, if you know what I mean?" What Coulson thought to be impossible was made possible: his skin turning even redder. The sarcasm and archness dripped from the playboy-billionaire's nasty comment.
Without any second thought, Steve stood up for his man "It was really good, you know. And about the length of the bonds, well, I would say very long, and thick" and, leaning to the agent, he lightly kissed him in the lips. The other felt stunned, as shivers ran down his spine. "Go up there, Phil, work hard to make us the heroes we're expected to be. And don't forget: I love you". Coulson whispered an "I love you too" under his breath, and climbed the stairs towards the Team of Tactics. Turning to the others, Captain America shouted "Avengers, assemble!" as he ran to his gears. Tony's face was still on the floor, but he quickly recovered, and went towards the same direction as the captain, his Iron Man suit waiting to be turned on. The others followed, Thor being the one standing there. He quickly climbed the stairs to the upper room and screamed to Phil "I'M HAPPY FOR YOU, SON OF COUL! WE SHALL CELEBRATE YOUR ENGAGEMENT WITH BOARS AND DRINKS ON A FEAST!" and, going down, the God gathered his hammer and joined the others. Avengers, Assemble!
