Godzilla is now known to the heroes, and is already going after something (or someone)!

Enjoy, and please R&R!

Chapter VII

The group went up to the command deck, where they saw an older man standing at the command table. He was looking at a video of Godzilla.

"This is our needle in the haystack, people," he said, his voice strong and commanding. "MUTO. Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism. However, it is no longer terrestrial; it is seaborne. Our objective is to track it down and keep it away from heavily populated areas. It is imperative that we do so."

The man turned his head to the group, as if he just noticed them now.

"My name is Admiral William Stenz. I already know all of your names, but feel free to speak with me if you wish. I will be cooperating with Dr. Serizawa and Director Fury during this endeavor."

Once he was finished speaking, Captain Rogers walked up to him, his hand out. Stenz accepted it and shook it firmly.

"It's an honor to meet you, Captain," he said. "You're an inspiration to every soldier in the U.S. military, including me."

"I may be a super soldier, sir," Steve replied, "but I still press my clothes and make my bed."

"Don't sell yourself short, son. My grandson wants to be you when he grows up."

"He'll make the boys in blue proud, sir."

Stenz nodded his head and smiled curtly. He walked back to the table.

"I called you up here to tell you that one of Monarch's research posts has been destroyed. It happened at approximately the same time Godzilla went into the ocean. They are sending us whatever equipment they can't leave behind."

"Which one?" Serizawa asked. "We have several."

"The one in Scotland, doctor."

"Oh, no." Serizawa had a look of shock. "Can I contact them?"

"Be my guest."

Serizawa pulled out a satellite phone as he left to find a secluded area. Everyone was suspicious of why he left.

An ensign walked up to Tony and nudged his arm.

"Mr. Stark? It's Mr. Brody," he said. "He's not gonna make it. He requested that you be there."

"I'm coming." Tony followed the ensign to the medical bay, while Fury walked up to Dr. Graham.

"Why is Serizawa calling the people from Scotland?" he asked.

Graham looked nervous as all hell.

"I'm not authorized to tell you classified information. All I can tell you is that they should be transporting very valuable cargo."

Fury's eyes narrowed. He hated being left in the dark, about as much as Romanoff did.

"I promise you, Joe," Tony said. "I will tell him personally."

Joe was trying to escape the compound when a collapsing building fell on him. Tony blamed himself for not going to get him.

"It's not your fault," Joe weakly reassured. "That animal was acting as would be expected. Don't be mad at it."

"I know, Joe. You want me to give them anything?"

Joe looked at the bag by his bed.

"There's a toy that used to belong to my son, Ford. A toy soldier. Give it to him when you tell them."

"I will."

Tony stayed there, holding Joe's hand, until Joe took his last breath.
