The Helicarrier
I don't own Digimon, Guardians of the Galaxy or Avengers
"Okay, let's get moving. Coulson, you'd better tell us the location of your base so we can get there," Daisuke told him as she sat in her chair beside Veemon and both began prepping the Milano for flight.
"Don't worry. I'll give you the coordinates, let me contact my boss and let him know we're going to be arriving soon." Coulson said as he took out his phone and dialled a number and walked away to have some privacy.
"We should not trust him so readily Daisuke, I fear this could be a trap," Drax told her.
"I know Drax. But this is my home, if someone is threatening it I have to do my best to help." She replied as Sylar placed his hand on her shoulder.
"We're with you Daisuke. And we'll help protect your world." Daisuke smiled and kissed his cheek making him smile.
"Ugh, get a room you two," Rocket grumbled as he sat in his chair with Groot on his shoulder.
"I am Groot," Baby Groot said.
"What do you mean you think it's cute?" Rocket asked. "You know, one of these days we're going to be having a talk on what is and what is not cute."
"Well he is a baby now, so he probably thinks a lot of things are cute," Veemon said.
"I am Groot," Baby Groot said agreeing with the Digimon who grinned as Rocket sighed.
"Now I know what being a parent feels like," he muttered as Coulson walked back.
"Yes sir. We can do that," he said before ending the call and putting his phone away.
"So, are we going now?" Daisuke asked looking over her shoulder at him.
"Yes. But first we need to make a slightly detour to pick someone else up," Coulson informed the team.
"Who is it, and are they important?" Sylar asked.
"You could say that." The agent answered handing Daisuke a folder and she opened it and read the contents.
"Captain America aka Steve Rogers. What's so special about him? According to this until recently he's been on ice for seventy years." She replied.
"He has experience with what we're dealing with, my boss wants me to pick him up before heading back to base," Coulson explained and Daisuke sighed.
"Alright fine we'll pick him up." She mumbled pressing a few more buttons and she pushed the throttle forward and the Milano took off and shot into the sky. "Does he know where to meet us?"
"He was told to wait for us at a park in Brooklyn, it's not too big but this ship should be able to land there without destroying anything." Coulson answered. Daisuke nodded and soon the Milano was approaching New York City.
"Ok, activating the cloaking field," Veemon said pressing a button and the Milano seemingly vanished from sight. "We're above the park, do your thing Dai."
"Got it." Daisuke replied as she piloted the Milano down into the park and the team saw a male in his late twenties with blonde hair and blue eyes waiting for them. "That's him?"
"That's him. Can you lower the cloaking field so he can see us?" Coulson asked Veemon who looked at Daisuke who nodded and the Digimon deactivated the cloaking field as Coulson left the Milano and approached the super soldier.
"So that's Captain America? He doesn't look bad for a guy who was trapped in ice for seventy years." Veemon said as Coulson and Steve walked back to the Milano.
"Do you have anyone else you want us to pick up Agent Coulson, or can we get this over with?" Sylar asked him.
"Dr Banner is already there, and as for Stark he's on the fence about joining," Coulson answered.
"Well did you say please and thank you?" Daisuke asked with a grin.
"Yes. But he threw me out." Coulson answered.
"Ouch, must have done something to piss him off. Maybe if you smiled more…" Daisuke suggested before she flew the Milano off as Veemon activated the cloaking field again.
"So, you are Captain America," Drax said looking at Steve who nodded. "How many battles did you fight in?"
"A fair few. From the looks of you, I'd say you also fought in a lot of battles?" he asked the warrior who laughed.
"You have no idea. Come let us tell stories of our glorious battles!" he said walking off with Steve while the others chuckled.
"Oh, he's a goner. Drax can talk your ear off if you let him," Daisuke informed Coulson. "So where do we go now?" Coulson pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to her and she saw it was coordinates and she nodded. "Got it." she flew the Milano off in the new direction. A few hours later they were flying over the ocean, during that time The Guardians of the Galaxy read over the files of the other people who had been recruited for the mission.
"So, an assassin, billionaire/scientist and a mutated scientist plus the world's first super-hero and us. You guys must really be desperate if you need our help." Veemon commented looking at Coulson who looked slightly sheepish.
"We do know when we're outmatched." He replied.
"Are we almost there yet, looking at all this water is boring," Rocket complained.
"I am Groot," Baby Groot said pointing at something outside making Rocket look at where his friend was pointing and his eyes widened.
"You gotta be kidding me," he muttered as the others also saw an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean.
"This is your secret headquarters?" Sylar asked Coulson who nodded and he chuckled. "It doesn't look so special."
"Oh you'd be surprised." Coulson replied. "You can land, I let them know we'd be arriving in your ship." He told Daisuke.
"They'd better not do anything to my ship, if they do I'll kick their asses," she told him with an expression that meant she was serious and he gulped.
The Milano landed on the carrier with Daisuke making sure not to crash into anyone or anything which was difficult as there were several people walking around but she finally managed it and smiled. "Okay let's go," Coulson said as he disembarked the Milano with the others following.
"Hey Drax, Rogers hurry up!" Sylar called to them noticing both were still talking and they looked over and followed him outside.
"I am Groot," Groot said standing on Rocket's shoulder as both looked around at all the jets and other equipment that was on board the ship.
"Definitely, I thought humans were more advanced than this." Rocket said looking at Daisuke who shrugged.
"It may not be like Xandar, but Earth has its own charm and beauty." She told him as a confident woman with chin length red hair and green eyes walked over to the group followed by a nervous looking person with greying brown hair and dark eyes.
"Daisuke Motomiya?" the woman asked.
"That's me, I take it your Black Widow?" Daisuke asked and the assassin nodded.
"I'll leave them in your care Agent Romanoff, I better go check in with Fury," Coulson said and the redhead nodded.
"See ya later," Veemon said with a wave and Coulson nodded before walking off. "So, I'm guessing everyone is here but Stark?" he asked Natasha who looked down at the Digimon.
"Yes. He'll come around eventually when it suits him, he does whatever he wants, it drives Fury nuts trying to keep an eye on him." She answered with a slight smile.
"I know the feeling, I'd like to see someone try to keep these guys out of trouble for more than ten minutes without going crazy," Daisuke said grabbing Rocket who was trying to sneak off with Baby Groot. "Don't go stealing anything you two, and no sabotage."
"Aw why not? It would just be for fun." Rocket replied and Baby Groot nodded.
"I don't care if it's just for fun, I'd rather not get shot or locked up minutes after getting here." Daisuke told them both sternly.
"I am Groot," Baby Groot said.
"Alright, we won't steal anything yet," Rocket muttered and Daisuke nodded before walking over to Dr Banner who looked at her.
"Dr Banner." She greeted the scientist. "So, from what I've heard you can help these guys find whatever it is they're looking for right?"
"And is that the only thing you've heard about me?" Bruce asked nervously before she smiled reassuringly.
"Well it's the only thing I care about. To be honest I find the whole turning into a giant green monster when pissed off awesome, think you could show me after all this is over?" Daisuke whispered and Bruce shook his head.
"Sorry, but I don't plan on letting the other guy out if I can help it."
"I can respect that, but you do know he's a part of you right? The more you fight him the less control you'll have in the end." Daisuke told him walking off leaving the scientist to his thoughts.
"There was quite a buzz around here once you were found in the ice Captain, did Coulson ask you to sign his trading cards yet?" Natasha asked Steve as they walked across the deck followed by the other Guardians.
"Trading cards?" Steve asked not knowing what to think of hearing this.
"Wait he has Captain America trading cards?" Daisuke asked Natasha who nodded with a small smile. "Aw man, do you know how hard it is to find a complete set in mint condition in space?"
"They have those cards in space?" Steve asked her.
"From what I've heard, every now and again an alien comes to Earth in disguise and picks up some rare items to sell them for large amounts of units to anyone willing to pay the right amount." She answered as everyone looked at her. "Not that I know anything about it of course." She added sheepishly making her team shake their heads slightly.
"So, this all must be strange to you," Sylar said to Steve who looked around as a group of soldiers in sweatpants and shirts jogged past.
"Actually some of this is familiar," he replied, Natasha held her finger to the earpiece she wore and nodded.
"Ok. Gentlemen, Lady, weird tree baby and Digimon you might all want to step inside it's about to become a bit difficult to breath out here." she told the group as an alarm began to sound and sounds of machines whirring began to be heard.
"Is this a submarine?" Steve asked making Bruce sigh.
"Really? They want me inside a giant pressurised metal container?" he asked as Daisuke looked over the side to see one of four giant fans emerge from the water and begin spinning. "Oh no this is much better," he said sarcastically.
"I stand correct, you humans are more advanced then I first thought," Rocket said. Everyone followed Natasha as the men on the deck began strapping the jets down and securing them.
"Will you be okay with your ship being strapped down?" Natasha asked Daisuke who nodded watching as some people began securing the Milano as well.
"It should be fine, as long as it can be ready to launch quickly I don't have a problem. Now let's go meet this Fury person we've been hearing so much about." She answered walking inside the Helicarrier with the others and they headed to the bridge and saw dozens of SHIELD agents at computers and walking around.
"Well this is something you don't see every day," Sylar commented looking around the bridge.
"Preparing for maximum clearance take-off. Increase output to capacity." They heard one agent instruct another.
"Power plant performing at capacity. We are clear." Another agent responded.
"All engines operating. SHIELD Emergency Protocol 193.6 in effect. We're at level sir," another agent reported to an African-American male with an eyepatch over one eye and in all black leather.
"Good. Let's vanish." He replied.
"Engage retro-reflection panels." The woman ordered and the Helicarrier began to vanish from sight.
"Reflection panels engaged." Another agent said as the African-American man walked towards the Guardians, Steve and Bruce.
"Gentlemen, Lady." He said as Steve pulled out a small wad of cash and handed him a ten-dollar bill and he smugly smiled as he took it and pocketed it walking past Steve who began looking around. "Doctor, thank you for coming." He said holding his hand out and Bruce shook it slowly.
"Thanks for asking nicely. How long am I staying?" he asked.
"Once we get our hands on the Tesseract, you're in the wind." The man answered.
"And where are you with that?" Bruce asked.
"We're sweeping every accessible wireless camera on the planet. Cell phones, laptops. If its connected to a satellite it's eyes and ears for us." Coulson informed him as Daisuke noticed Natasha looking at a screen of another agent with a worried expression and she frowned slightly, obviously the person was important to Natasha, either a close friend or something more.
"That's still not going to find them in time." She said.
"You guys need to narrow your field," Rocket said making everyone look at him. "How many spectrometers do you have access to?"
"How many are there?" the eyepatch wearing man asked only for Bruce to answer as he removed his jacket
"Call every lab you know. Tell them to put the spectrometers on the roof and calibrate them for gamma rays. I'll rough out a tracking algorithm, basic cluster recognition. At least we can rule out a few places. Do you have somewhere for me to work?" he asked Fury who nodded.
"Agent Romanoff, could you show Dr Banner to his laboratory please?" he asked and the redhead nodded.
"You're gonna love it Doc, we've got all the toys." She told Bruce as they walked off.
"I'd better go with them, who knows I might actually enjoy myself." Rocket said.
"If you're sure," Daisuke said and he nodded and ran off to catch up to Bruce and Natasha with Baby Groot jumped onto Veemon's head. "So, you're Fury?" she asked and the agent nodded. "Coulson already explained how you knew about me and Veemon and how you detected us when we crashed on Earth."
"He also said you'd explain what's going on here, why do you need our help?" Sylar asked sitting on the table in the room as Drax sat in a chair.
"You people do deserve an explanation," Fury said. "Also know that while you're here none of the crew with give you any trouble. If they do let me know."
"I believe we can handle anyone who is not happy with us ourselves," Drax told him.
"I don't think he wants you to rip off any heads while you're here Drax." Veemon told him.
"Fine, I will not rip off any heads while I am here. it would be a shame to get blood on my clothes," he replied.
"I guess that's all we can hope for. So please explain why you need us, and what is the Tesseract?" Daisuke asked sitting down on a chair. "And quick question, do I look at the eyepatch or the other eye, I don't want to be rude." Fury groaned at the question.
"You're the second person to ask me that, and I don't care." He said and Daisuke grinned. "Now then about a week ago we were trying to conduct some experiments with a cube we call the Tesseract, only before we could do anything with it, it activated and opened a portal bringing a man called Loki into our secure lab."
"Loki?" Sylar asked. "What would an Asgardian be doing on Earth?"
"We don't know, but what I do know is that he turned several agents against me and he also brainwashed Dr Selvig who was studying the cube also before they escaped with it." Fury explained as he tossed several photos onto the table and Daisuke looked at them before she focused on the Tesseract.
"Could this be another one?" she whispered to Veemon who looked at the photo.
"It's possible, but what would an Infinity Stone be doing on Earth?" he whispered back.
"Something you want to share?" Fury asked them.
"It's just a theory, we don't want to make any assumptions right away." Daisuke answered.
"We got a match. Sixty-seven percent." an agent said as an image of Loki appeared on his screen and Coulson walked over. "Wait its now seventy-nine percent."
"Location?" Coulson asked.
"Stuttgart, Germany. 28 Königstrasse, he's not exactly hiding." The agent answered as an image of Loki wearing a suit and holding a cane in his hand appeared on the screen.
"Captain you're up." Fury told him and Steve nodded. "Motomiya you feel up for some action?"
"Thought you'd never ask. Come on boys, let's go and show this Asgardian whose boss." Daisuke said walking off with her team following.
