Hope you enjoy this! Sorry It's so short. I've been super busy as I've just started Uni. Feel free to leave a review and tell me what you think

[We see a TV screen playing the news about Tony Stark and his contract with Damage Control. Toomes watches the TV with an angry look on his face.]

'So that was when he began stealing alien tech.' Ned realised.

'Wait. So, you knew?' MJ asked, and Ned nodded.

'I knew you two were hiding something.' She muttered.

News Anchor: A joint venture between Stark Industries and the federal government, the Department of Damage Control will oversee the collection and storage of alien and other exotic materials.

Schultz: So now the assholes who made this mess are being paid to clean it up.

'I can see how it could look like that.' Clint added, wincing.

Mason: Yeah, it's all rigged.

[Mason is tinkering with the alien power source that one of the workers stole from the salvage site earlier that day.]

'That's not a good idea. They're explosive.' Loki commented.

'Yeah. We worked that out.' Peter replied.

News Anchor: Experts estimate there are over fifteen hundred tons of exotic material scattered throughout the tri-state area.

'Wow. I never realised how much damage the chitauri did.' T'Challa commented, and those who were there looked guilty, especially Loki.

[The glowing alien artefact is now connected to a motor with wires. The blades on the motor start to spin and the machine floats off the table. One of the workers pulls off a tarpaulin sheet covering a large piece of Chitauri artefact, revealing a dozen glowing Chitauri energy cores.]

'I never realised how much alien tech got left behind.' Sam commented.

'It's more than you'd think.' Tony replied.

Worker: Hey, chief! We still have another load from yesterday. We're supposed to turn this in, right?

'How did no one notice that a whole truck of alien technology had gone missing?' Bruce asked.

'Having this stuff just lying around on the street makes it difficult to track, especially back then when we had no idea how much of it there was.' Tony explained.

Brice: I ain't hauling it.

Mason: It's too bad. We could have made some pretty cool stuff from all that alien junk.

[Toomes stares at the truck full of alien items and makes up his mind.]

'So, what did he end up doing with the tech?' Wanda asked.

'He built weapons.' Peter replied.

Toomes: I tell you what, let's keep it. The world's changing.

[Mason lifts his magnifying goggles and looks at his boss.]

Toomes: It's time we change, too.

8 YEARS LATER

[The Rolling Stones' "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is playing in the warehouse. ]

'At least they have good taste in music.' Sam commented.

Workers are moving piles of alien tech and tinkering with machines. Mason works on an elaborate rifle gun. Another worker fires a neon blast from an exotic gun. The blast shears a large item in half. Workers load piles of high-tech weapons onto a van.]

'Wow, they've got quite the operation here.' Natasha commented.

'Those guns can do a lot of damage.' Ned muttered, under his breath.

[Cash pours through a money counting machine.]

[A figure wearing a flying suit with expensive metal wings soars toward the warehouse. Doors in the ceiling open and the figure drops crates of alien tech from the suits' claw-like feet. The helmeted figure comes through the roof and lands on the platform. He steps out of the wing suit and faces Mason.]

'So, he steals the tech and the other guy makes weapons?' Scott asked, and Peter nodded.

Toomes: There you go, Mason.

[The helmet opens, revealing Toomes. Mason grins.]

'That's an impressive suit.' MJ commented and the others agreed.

Toomes: Business is good.
