Winning
Fury had never considered himself a betting man. He had never learned to play poker, rummy, or blackjack. He hadn't ever been tempted to go to a casino, or to a horse race (well, not to bet anyway). And he had always been careful to stay out of office pools.
Until now that is.
And as he swept all of his newly acquired money into a pile, he suddenly understood why people did this on a regular basis.
There was a certain thrill involved when it hit you that you had been right, and now you had bragging rights over the others (something that really didn't happen all that much).
He was excited enough that he had actually managed to tune out Hawkeye yelling at Mustang and Edward (who were the subjects of that same bet), in the next room.
Which also meant that he didn't notice that it stopped abruptly when Havoc stepped across the threshold of the room to congratulate him.
Fury wasn't the only one out to make some money today.
