SHIELD Analytical Room

Fury is facing several large monitors as he was at conference with members of the World Security Council.

"This is out of line, Director. You're dealing with forces you can't control." A councilman said.

"You ever been in a war, Councilman? In a firefight? Did you feel an overabundance of control?" Fury said.

"You saying that this Kuri has declared war on our planet?" The councilman said.

"Kuri has been brainwashed." Fury said.

"She can't be working alone. What about the Asgardians?" A second councilman said.

"Our intelligence says, Loki and Thor are not hostiles. But they're worlds away, we can't depend on them to help. It's up to us."

"Which is why you should be focusing on phase 2, it was designed for exactly..." the councilman said.

"PHASE 2 isn't ready, our enemy is. We need a response team." Fury said.

"The Avengers Initiative was shut down." The councilman said.

"This isn't about The Avengers." Fury said.

"We're running the world's greatest covert security network and you're gonna leave the fate of human race to a handful of freaks." The councilman said.

"I'm not leaving anything to anyone. We need a response team. These people maybe isolated, unbalanced even, but I believe with the right push they can be exactly what we need." Fury said.

"You believe?" The second councilman said.

"War isn't won by sentiment, Director." The councilman said.

"No, it's won by soldiers." Fury said.
