Battles and shit
Three weeks later
Alarms were going crazy all over the helicarrier. The usual yelling that came with any sort of disaster. Or when Thor got into the pop rocks.
For a man that was apparently an all-powerful Norse god, he had a disproportionate love of pop rocks.
General Nick Fury was disgruntled, the catastrophe wasn't bad enough to justify this level of noise. It was just a low level villain, one of the Fantastic Fours old "rogue gallery". The Beetle or something, he attacked a mall down-town. And for some reason this meant that the alarms on his ship were having a seizure.
And he got to have a headache the size of Mount Rushmore.
Several annoyed phone calls later and the alarms were shut off. Fury settled at his large desk, and began sorting through a colossal stack of papers.
It had been two months since the "Venom incident" had come to his attention. Since then there had been no word of the villain.
Despite asserting that he would not directly help the wall-crawler, Fury had kept an eye on the whole mess.
Nothing.
Nada.
Bubcus.
Not a word, and that was unusual. Generally those kinds of nutbars liked to make a splash. Get attention and make the world see exactly how dangerous they were. But Venom had no interest in any of that. Since the altercation at Stark Towers, when Spider-Man aka Peter Parker had dealt with him.
Fury had also kept tabs on the young hero, checking up on him and whether or not he'd go over the rails. So far he'd kept his nose clean.
He knew that Iron Man had introduced Parker to the other Avengers, and Captain America had since approached him about joining the team. So far Parker had declined, saying he wasn't much of a team player.
Speaking of team players, Steve was currently taking care of the Beetle issue.
Clint and Natasha had disappeared to the Sudan a week ago; Bruce was holed up researching at the lab. Besides it was a bad idea to let the "other guy" out without some sort of supervision. Thor was off doing whatever it is Thor got up to. Fury had tabs on all of the Avengers as much as possible.
The only member that he couldn't locate was Iron Man, and he wasn't surprised. He was very keen to get some alone time with the young Parker.
Fury just hoped that the relationship didn't cause problems that he'd have to deal with later.
