Claus slowly started to regain his conscious, when he woke up to find himself seated, and handcuffed to a table in front of him, his feet were also handcuffed to his chair. His mask and gloves were gone, exposing his tan skin and his Greek face. His heel was bandaged, no doubt the doing of his captors. He looked around; he was in an interrogation room he could tell by the One-way window, the large table in front of him, and a chair on the other side. But the walls and floor were… metal. And he felt a constant vibration as if he was in a moving high-speed car. This isn't a police station. If he was right, Shield set up that whole stage at Stark Tech Laboratories, which was odd, they deal with threats to humanity, never with unknown thieves. Then his interrogator came in, a tall man with an eye patch, carrying multiple files, named, The Lion thief.

He laid the files on the table and took a seat, took one file out. "You've been busy, and if this file is right, you are responsible for 28 robberies, 13 assaults on pursuing officers, disruption of power grids. And now one attempted robbery, you would have been successful, if you hadn't been so reckless." Claus started to growl in rage. The man took another file out. "But if this file is right you are responsible for taking down two criminal Crime Bosses, Viper and Slug. You disrupted their operations all over New York; then for good measure, you took most of all their money." Claus' anger died. "Safe to say I'm impressed, you did what shield couldn't, which is why you are not in a jail cell right now."

"But how did you set up everything, how did you know I was coming for the Vibranium?" Asked Claus.

"A month ago we were tipped off by a man."

Claus was enraged, "By whom?!" He thought for a moment, "Hercules!" He had been betrayed! "If I ever find him I'll-"

The man smiled "You'll do what, Claus Atreus?" Claus widen his eyes in disbelief, "How do you know?!"

"We have been keeping tabs on you and your entire family, we never caught one in action, until now. And now I am offering you a choice either join Shield and help protect the people, or rot in a prison cell with-"

Claus cut him off, and Scoffed " My life is practically over, once my family finds out I have been arrested, they will never accept me back, I'd rather go to prison then be somebody's lapdog."

The man continued "With your family."

Claus was shocked, It's true he would rather go to prison then join shield, but if he refused Shield would arrest him, and his family. Getting captured was bad enough but getting his family arrested was unforgivable. Claus was engulfed with rage, he broke off his handcuffs and slammed the table, denting it. And yelled "So your plan to make me join Shield is blackmailing my entire family!? I could Rip you from limb from limb!"

The man, to Claus' surprise, was very calm, "Yes, you could, but I got 10 Agents outside this room looking for some payback for that beatdown last night. And even if that wasn't enough, I could call in a team that would stop you dead in your tracks." Claus sat back on his chair, trying to calm himself down.

"I'll join on one condition."

"What's that?"

"There was never a break in at Stark Laboratories, and I joined Shield out of my free will."

"Done."

"Great, and I, uh never caught your name."

" My name is Nick Fury, but you will calling me Director Fury."
