"Alright," Fury said as he leaned back. "I think that's enough lazy time."
Natasha crossed her legs as she rested her head in her left hand while casually eating the final slice of her pizza. Glancing at the others, she saw that Steve was resting his pizza box on his lap with a quarter of the pizza remaining, but didn't seem like he was about to touch it.
Wilson on the other hand was licking the last remaining dregs from his fingers, dumping his box by him. "Mmm-mmm! Now that was some good pizza," he remarked with a satisfied smile before looking around at everyone, waiting for Fury to explain the situation to them.
"So," Fury started, eyeing the trio. "I think I better explain a few things."
"Yeah," Nat piped up, "Like how you knew we were here. I thought all of S.H.I.E.L.D.s technology was destroyed after we discovered about Hydra's infiltration and that big exposure."
"You don't think there were backups, backups that had backups with backups that only I knew about and stored in systems elsewhere just in case somehow S.H.I.E.L.D was compromised?" Fury asked, giving her the Duh look.
Good point, she thought, wondering why she hadn't thought of that sooner.
"I just went straight to one of the many top secret backup bases known to only me and a very select few who I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I could trust," Fury continued, turning his gaze to the other two men in the room. "And we've been monitoring the scattered Avengers to the best of our ability every since."
Which meant he knew every detail of every insignificant thing that they did each day.
Not surprising.
"Anyways, along with keeping an eye on you we've been keeping an eye on the government and other organisations and we have reason to believe that quite a few of the important key figures in the political society have been murdered and replaced."
