Images of Fury snapped on the screen, with no sound, like a muted movie.
The group just looked around confused when the voice started speaking again.
"Fury's not that bad. He can be an ass, and he hates me, but that's not really a surprise. He knows what I've done. He knows how many people I have killed. I admire the guy though. He's got guts, and while he certainly doesn't take a fatherly role towards us Avengers, he's still better than my own blasted father, or Obie. Fury is rough, though I think he has a soft spot for Natasha. Protective. I don't really know why, maybe it's because she doesn't have anyone and he's known her forever. I wouldn't trust him with my life, because it's hard to put your life in the hands of someone who thinks your about equal to the dirt on his boots, but I'd trust him with the team's, and Pepper's life's, which are way more important. So yeah, I trust Fury. I think he's a gutsy son of a bitch, smart too. He isn't ruled by taking orders, he'll call his own shots when he needs too and I admire that .I count him as a part of the team, because well the Avengers wouldn't work without Fury. Now as long as he DOSEN"T try to kill me, I'm good. Though there does seem to be pattern going on."
The voice faded and the group just looked around kind of confused all eyes landing on Fury who had a look of surprise plastered on his face. "What…..WAS that?" Fury said his voice not betraying his surprise even though his face was. Natasha shrugged rubbing her temples. "I am pretty sure it's what he thinks of you." Bruce nodded in agreement. "Loki knows he doesn't have much time left before Tony gets us out of here. He's showing us what he can while he can. Secrets. I think that's why he's putting off Afghanistan, because we all at least vaguely know about that, now he's showing us Tony's true feelings about us. I'm actually a little terrified." Bruce said it jokingly but the pale sickly look on his face said otherwise.
"I think…..I think that we are going to see some of New York too…..because he almost died…. And I just have a bad feeling that there's something there that we didn't really know….Pepper said he tried to…. Well he tried THAT after the battle…. Because he was a danger, he would have been if Loki had taken control. I think he was hiding something though, because the pieces don't add up."Bruce continued voice shaky as the rest of the group tried to take understand his slightly garbled voice.
Fury wasn't really listening though, he was thinking. Stark had proven him wrong so many times today….but now Stark was wrong. He would never admit it but he felt a very fatherly protection over the Avengers. Stark had been right about the favoritism toward Romanov, and it was mostly because she was alone. Tony thought Fury thought he was worth nothing even though he really had a grudging admiration towards the man. Now he would have to let Tony know, in some sort of way that he valued Tony as much as the rest of the group. "Damn….." He whispered, earning his a curious look from Thor.
The screen slowly began to flicker and Natasha felt Steve wince under her hands. "It will be alright Steve, it's gonna be over soon." She whispered, but not sure she believed it.
