First Meetings
All around them seemed to fade to black. Obi-wan felt a sensation he compared to drifting in open space. Then, it all disappeared abruptly. They were shooting through what seemed like small pipes until they landed on something solid. The sight Obi-wan saw was confusing. He saw a man lying on the floor, apparently injured, and sparks shooting from computer stations. To his left were Anakin and Marek cradling a limp form. He recognized it as Ahsoka. "What happened!? Where are we?" He rapidly implored. "We're not sure. But it doesn't look safe." Anakin responded as a crumbling sound echoed through the room. Marek stood up as Obi-wan did. In his arms lay Ahsoka. "Poor thing," he started. "She got the brunt of the teleportation." She looked in bad shape. "Will she be-wait, did you say teleportation." He replied with much confusion. "Well, I can't tell for sure but based on everything that happened, I'd say we just made a huge breakthrough in the Tesseract research. I mean can you believe it, we disc-" Marek started before he was interrupted. "Did you say 'tesseract'?" The man who was on the floor groaned. No one noticed him awake. The crumbling of ruble and debris continued. Marek took iniative. "Yes. I did. Marek of the Jedi Order." He introduced himself. "Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D." The man replied. A loud explosion echoed from a distance. "Perhaps we should continue this elsewhere. Follow me." Nick led them all to an above ground landing pad with a helicopter sitting on it. As they boarded the pilot looked backed in confusion. "Who are they?" He remarked. "They're friends. Now go!" Fury ordered. The engines sounded and the propellers spun rapidly. They lifted off. Below a grumbling sound was heard. The ground they were just on started caving in on itself. The series of buildings sunk with it. A bright blue light could be seen shining through the open cracks. In one instant a shockwave ran through the area, the crust of the Earth falling after it passed under. In a matter of seconds the entire campus was destroyed and fallen into a large pit. The once gleaming structures were turned to rumble and ash. Smoke rising from some areas. "Coulson, are you still with us?" Fury said too a communication radio. "I'm here, sir." A voice replied. "We have several hundred men trapped under the ruble. Several agents, including Agent Barton are compromised. The cube and those who stole it are gone. And mobile command is being preped." The man continued," Sir an attack of this scale couldn't be one of our enemies. I think we're dealing with something else. Nick looked back at the Jedi. "I believe your right. I want as many men you can spare searching for survivors. Get Hill and rendezvous at mobile command. Oh, and Coulson."
"Yes sir?" He replied. "Get Romanoff to Dr. Banner's last known location. And I'll need a transport to D.C." Nick commanded. Coulson spoke. "Sir, what are you planning?" He asked. "It's time to assemble them. I'm enacting the Avengers Iniative."
