~ to TryMe626: Thanks! Don't really get the Potter comment though.

~ to EiraLuna: Your Welcome! Yes, everyone loves to baby Hiro. Well, the girls do, the guys like to pick on him, but hey! They're guys, that's how the show love or in this case, friendship.

~ to Rochana: Glad you're liking Fred. He's one of my favorites and I love messing with his characters. Yep, being the youngest Hiro tends to get babied a bit. Don't worry you'll get to see them be protective here in a couple chapters.

~ to MariMart: Glad you're enjoying it, especially Fred.

~ to DeathStar5799: Yep, Avengers a hoy! that's what this chapters all about.

~ to zander2212 (guest): My work has officially been called 'epic.' My day is made!

New Recruits? WHY?!

"Tell me you're joking! And if you're not, can have some of whatever it is you're smoking, or drinking? Ya know, just give me both."

"I am being completely serious, Stark." Fury glared at his greatest annoyance, silently daring him to make a scene. Unfortunately for Fury's remaining patience, Tony Stark was never one to turn down a dare.

"Why the hell do we need to add more people to the Avengers? And not just more people, oh no! You want to add children? Children are a liability in every way! They have no real world experience, which makes them gullible. They're all soft and," Tony wrinkled his nose and shuddered, "squishy, which means they'll get hurt easily and whine and cry and drive me insane. Besides, do you really want me around children? Really? I'll just hurt their oh so precious feelings when I tell them to screw off."

"Tony!" Steve scolded, looking thoroughly scandalized, though it was hard to tell if it was at Stark's language or the thought of someone telling a child to 'screw off.'

Tony shrugged; he was just telling the truth. Tony didn't hate children, despite what the media liked to print, he simply didn't trust them. Children were too easy to hurt and fool, and if that wasn't bad enough, they were stupid. Tony had enough stupid in his life as it was, thank you very much.

"I was under the impression the Avengers was meant to be a group of the 'best of the best' or whatever the fuck it was you put on the recruitment poster." Tony pointedly ignored Steve's frown of disapproval at his language. "So why the hell do you want to recruit children? Oh, and final point, what we do is dangerous. Dangerous was in 'we could die any day' dangerous. I know you like to play hard ball, Fury, but children? That seems low even for you."

Case made, Tony leaned back in his chair and pulled out his phone, idly wondering if Steve or Bruce would be the first to back him up. His money was on Steve and those 1940s morals.

"I agree with Stark."

Tony glanced up from his phone, not even bothering to hide the look of surprise that Natasha, the Natasha, was siding with him.

"Well, fuck." Tony looked from Natasha to Fury. "You know it's a bad idea if the infamous Black Widow is siding with me."

Both Fury and Natasha gave Tony a cold look.

"I have to agree with Tony as well," Steve added, breaking the tension. "I can understand why you want to increase the number of Avengers–"

"I can't," Tony said. "I think he just wants newer models. What, are we not good enough for you anymore, Fury?"

"–but I don't think this particular group is suitable," Steve finished, ignoring Tony's comment with a practiced ease. "With all due respect, sir, they are too young, too inexperienced, and – as Tony said – what we do is dangerous. Our job is not meant for children."

"Do you have anything to add, Dr. Banner?" Fury asked coolly.

"I would like to know why you think this particular group should be recruited," Bruce said, removing his glasses and polishing them. The act was an old habit that helped him remember to think from many angles and Bruce was trying to understand Fury's insistence on this new group.

"An excellent suggestion, Dr. Banner," Fury said blandly, pressing a few buttons on the panel before him.

A screen lowered behind him and a blurring, unfocused image came into play.

"There, no! Over there, yeah right there. Ya see it?" The voice was barely audible over the sound of a helicopter engine.

"No way!" A second voice breathed, and image sharpened, focusing in on a street below. "Is that. . ? It is! Big Hero 6 in action!"

Fury muted the video as a flash of yellow zipped across the screen, darting between vehicles with an ease and grace professional skaters would envy. Chasing after the yellow blur was what looked like a cross between a spider and snake. Whatever the creature was, judging by the way it was plowing through traffic it was clearly strong and very angry. Eventually the yellow blur zipped out of the streets and into a park, heading for a large lake in the center. The figure hit the water and. . .

"Did that person just bounce?" Steve asked. Yes, this was a new century but surely bouncing on water wasn't considered normal. He glanced at the Bruce and was gratified to see he looked equally surprised.

"Yep," Tony answered. "But apparently mutant bug things don't."

Steve glanced back at the screen to see the. . .thing struggling to free itself from the lake.

"Why is the water multicolored?" Natasha asked, eyes narrowing as she studied the footage.

Fury smirked, on the inside of course, and pressed another button. The smaller image appeared in the upper right corner, a close up showing what looked like two civilians weaving in and out of the creature's legs. That is, if civilians had glowing green arms that could cut through metal like butter and purses that spat out multicolored balls that could, apparently, do a wide range of things. Distracting the creature while the two worked was what looked like a stereotypical comic book monster, complete with a gaping mouth shooting fire.

"I think I found my Halloween costume for this year," Tony smirked.

"No." Came the immediate reply from just about everyone.

"Glad you all agree."

No one bothered to reply this time as it seemed the fight was reaching its climax. With the creature immobilized the two attacking its legs retreated. The man with the glowing green hands pausing to drag the 'monster' away with them, and the yellow blur from before speeding up the process by piggy backing the girl with the magic purse away. Once they were at a safe distance a large, red blob shot across the sky toward the monster. For a wild second Tony wondered if someone had stolen his Iron Man suite, but the close up in the screens corner showed it was the wrong shape and color scheme. Riding on top of the figure in red and purple armor was a much smaller figure that appeared to be giving orders. The larger figure raised its arm and the fist detached and shot toward the creature like a bullet.

"Plagiarism!" Tony yelled. "This punk is ripping off my suite!"

"Shut up, Stark." Fury ordered.

Seething, though slightly impressed, Tony sat and watched as the fist connected with the over grown snake-spider hybrid and blasted a hole straight through it. The sparks and scraps of metal that came flying out of it told the group it was mechanical. Despite the gaping hole in its center the creature continued to struggle. The person in the 'Iron Man knock off' as Tony hissed from his seat flew over and gently lowered the smaller figure, who crawled inside. A few minutes later the creature stilled and figure crawled back out, waving and shouting at the group waiting for him on the ground.

Fury stopped the video and the screen retracted back into the ceiling.

"As you saw they are more than just 'children.' In fact, save one member of the group, they are all of legal age." Fury stared at them, his tone indicating that it would be wise to shut up, listen, and not argue. "They are college students, exceptionally bright college students, even the youngest who might even be smarter than you, Stark."

"Which is why he had to copy my suite," Tony scoffed.

"They fight the same as you do," Fury continued, ignoring Tony save sending the man a hard look. "Risking their lives to help others. They are intelligent, they are resourceful, they are skilled."

"But they're still just brats," Tony finished.

Fury did a slow count of ten, eyeing the group as he did so. It seemed that despite the little display and his own assurances, the Avengers still seemed ill inclined to accept this group.

"Big Hero 6 will be arriving in 4 days for a trial run." Fury stood. "You will be respectful, Stark. You will not baby them, and you will, all of you, work together until I say otherwise. Dismissed!"

Fury turned on his heel and marched out of the room, mentally cursing his younger self. If he had known the position involved babysitting a bunch of egotistical (Stark), self-righteous (Rogers) 'heroes', Fury would never have accepted the post.

Author's Notes:

And here are the Avengers! No Thor, sorry Thor fans, but I can't see him popping over just to get a heads up on something like recruitment. Besides, I figure he's got a bunch of other stuff to be doing as Asgard - his home! - and 'fixing' Loki.

Hope you liked the fight. Completely made up, so I hope I did a good job showing the Big Hero6's team work from an outsiders perspective. Till next time!
