Chapter Two
Help Wanted

Tony was in his office getting prepared for his next mission. Nick had wanted him and Captain America to Xavier's school for the gifted. Tony was still curious as to why they would send two of there biggest hitter's to a school of children? He simply shrugged it off and started to gear up; Nick had also wanted them there in the next hour. Tony ran out of his little room inside of S.H.I.E.L.D. and started towards Nick's office. He looked down and started to check over his equipment, turning on his various form's of weaponry when he bumped into a not-so-familiar face. Michael Peterson

"I'm so sorry Mr. Stark." Michael said slowly, he smiled as he got up quickly. Tony was the only person that was polite to him and respected his 'work'.

"No reason to be sorry, I'm simply ran into you, and you're.?" Tony stuck out his hand in Michael's direction with a smile.

"Thanks, I'm uh, Michael Peterson. Fury's new assistant." Michael smiled and shook Tony's hand firmly.

"Oh, did you hear what happened to Nick's last assistant? Well, you sure as hell can't ask him. A group of terrorist's kidnapped him and tortured him for secret information, to his death."

Michael's eyes widened in shock."What?"

"It was a joke Michael, loosen up a little man."

Michael's eyes slowly grew back to there normal size. He put on a fake laugh and smiled reluctantly.

"Nice to meet you," Tony said as he patted Michael on the back, helped him pick up his paper's and took off in a sprint to Nick's office.

"No Mrs. Parker, yes, and no I assure you he is perfectly fine. Yes, it's just a science convention." Nick hung up the phone quickly and looked at Tony. "Where have you been? Cap has been here for almost 15 minutes!"

"Sorry sir, I ran into your goofy assistant. I helped him pick up his papers and stuff, he's new I had to cut him some slack." Nick nodded and started the briefing, "As you both know Peter Parker has been kidnapped. His whereabouts are unknown. We are starting to become desperate and we decided to ask the X-Men for a little help. They reluctantly said no.why would his friends reject a plea for help? Some people would just think there busy, I'm Nick Fury, owner of S.H.I.E.L.D and I think there's more to it. So I'm sending both of you to the mansion to check things out."

"But you're sending to of your best to some school for teenagers? Why?" Tony asked the question he had needed to ask.

"Tony, Tony, Tony, remember the fight we had with them just a couple months ago. They might still hold a grudge, and when they went they can put up quite the fight."

Tony nodded completely satisfied, just then the door opened quickly and the whole team of Ultimates walked in.

"That little runt Michael erased half the files on the main computer and fled the building, I want a piece of him."

Nick's eyes widened, "What else could happen to ruin this great day?!" Just as he said that the power in the base went out. "God damnit!" Nick yelled as he fumbled for a flashlight inside of his desk.
