THE BODY RECOVERED
Nick Fury and his team of agents were now nearly at the location of the space pod. The agents were now getting ready with their weapons. Clint Barton was supervising the agents and were shouting orders at them. Fury then went to the side of Agent Romanoff who was standing at the front side looking at the skies they were going through.
"Do you think that, this is a really big threat sir?", agent Romanoff asked as Fury went near her.
"I believe so, agent Romanoff. A distress signal from our team usually means something really big.", Nick Fury said.
"Do we think that, it is time to bring in the team we planned?", Romanoff asked.
"I don't know, even if that was the case it would be nearly impossible to bring them from America in such a short notice.", Fury said.
"You did call Stark here, didn't you?", Romanoff asked.
"He's not even an official member, is he?", Fury asked. "For now, he is just a consultant. But he is our only bet for now."
Romanoff just nodded at her boss and went back to looking at the scenery.
"Sir, we are ready to land.", the pilot said.
"Agents, get ready!", Barton ordered and all of them went to the seats to prepare for the landing. Then when they landed, they all went out in an orderly fashion to the place. What they found there, dumbfounded Fury and the team. The whole place was littered with dead bodies of the agents and in the middle of those bodies were a body of a huge man with some kind of body armour which was clearly not of this planet.
"T-this is a massacre.", one of the agents said with horror.
"D-do you think?", Barton asked with a shocked expression as He looked at the corpse of the guy with armour.
"Clearly looks like we have found the alien we are looking for.", Fury said incredulously.
"What in the world happened to our agents?", Romanoff asked. She was shaking with anger as she saw her fellow agents lying dead on the ground.
"Looks nothing like I have ever seen.", Barton said as he examined the bodies. "Most of them have burn marks, but not of any type I have ever seen!"
"What do you mean?", Fury asked.
"These are burn marks of the kind unknown to us. I can't point out what kind this can be.", Barton said.
"It has been a long time since I have seen our agents massacred like this.", Fury said as he looked at them sadly.
"At least, it looks like the alien threat is neutralised.", Barton said and went over to examine the body.
"What in the world happened here?", agent Romanoff asked. "Who killed our agents if, the alien is already dead?"
When Barton examined the body, he called out, "Sir, you better come and see this."
Fury and Romanoff went toward Barton to see what he had seen and saw that the body had a big whole right on his stomach.
"What the hell!?", Nick Fury exclaimed. "What in the world happened to him!?"
"I don't know any weapon that can make this happen.", Natasha said as she looked at the hole carefully.
"Could it be a kind of advanced weapon that they have?", Barton asked looking closely. "These Japanese definitely has some shady things going on over here."
"That is definitely possible. We don't even have access to one big chunk of their land.", Natasha said. "Who knows what is going on here."
"This is just like the African country of Wakanda.", Barton said as he glanced at the soldiers who were transporting the fallen bodies of their comrades onto the plane. Fury knew that, one wasn't enough to do the task, and was glad that he prepared for more planes and troops to come.
"This guy certainly looks exactly like a human.", Natasha said. "But with a tail.", she said as she saw the tail which the alien had.
"Looks like, the tail was not lost in the process of evolution.", Barton said as he examined the dress he was wearing.
"This armour is tough as nails.", Barton said. "The weapon that must have caused this big hole must have been very powerful."
"Now, this is strange.", Natasha said as she examined the guns of the fallen men.
"What is strange?", Fury asked curiously.
"All of these guns have been used.", she said as she picked the other guns. "There is no way that, all these men would have missed the target together at the same time. I know that the alien has an armour and all, but the head is definitely an option."
"That is really strange.", Barton said as he also picked the guns. "Our agents are expert marksmen. The probability of them hitting the target should be next to nil."
"This whole situation is really mysterious.", Natasha said.
Then one of the agents who were watching the surroundings called out. "Sir, you need to see this."
Fury, Natasha and Clint went toward the agent and saw what the agent was talking about. There was some marks on the ground that looked like some kind of craft had landed there. "Looks like some kind of craft has landed here and took off.", Natasha said looking at the mark.
"Looks like it. But who could that be?", Clint asked. "As far as we know, the Japanese government is not involved here."
"That might not be true.", Fury said. "Someone did come here right into the middle of the conflict, and did god knows what. Maybe even killed our alien here."
"But who and most importantly who?", Barton asked.
"That is one big mystery.", Fury said as he examined the mark. It did not remind him of any kind of craft he had ever seen. The mystery of the situation was getting bigger and bigger as they took closer look at the scene.
Then just a few yards away, he saw footprints of what looked like a child. "Wait what!?", Fury thought in confusion. "How in the world is a child involved in this whole thing!?"
Natasha once again joined him as he looked at the footprints. "A child!?", Natasha asked.
Fury nodded. "By the looks of it, should not be more than five.", he said.
"What is this doing here?", Natasha asked.
"Your guess is as good as mine, agent Romanoff.", Fury said and he continued to look around. Then he found a handkerchief that was fallen on the floor. "A kerchief?", he thought to himself. He then picked it up and examined to see whether it was one of the soldier's. He then was shocked to see that, the word 'Capsule Corps' was engraved in it.
"What in the world is this doing here.", he thought to himself. "How is the world's richest organization after starks involved here?"
He knew that, the answer for what had happened here might be at the Capsule Corps. He had to visit the place, he knew it. Either this was of some employee's or might be even of the people at the highest level. Fury had always found Mr. Brief to have some secrets. Fury knew that, Dr. Briefs was hiding something, and by the looks of it, it was something really big if they were directly involved in the conflict.
Just then, the reinforcements came and the bodies of the agents and the alien were loaded into them. They arranged the bodies of the agents in a proper and respectable way and he put the body of the alien in a bag so that, they could send it to a lab where they could study the body and even try to figure out what happened to him. Fury then took out the kerchief and said, "What are you hiding, Dr. Brief?"
