Chapter 38 – wiggle shrooms
Fury paused as he heard a lot of evil cackling coming from the nuclear experimentation room on the research floor.
His scientists were not supposed to sound like that. Diabolical laughter was a serious offense at SHIELD. Unless it wasn't SHIELD scientists at all…
"Agent Hill….?" Fury said slowly into him com link.
"They're here sir," she said gravely. Fury's eye twitched.
The next thing they knew a lab door burst open to reveal and angry looking Nick Fury.
He stalked into the room full of diabolical laughter and stared at 4 Avengers covered in…mutated mushrooms.
For a moment he debated on whether he should just give up and walk away. But he was the damn director of this organization – he was going to stick it through to the end. Even if it killed him. He wished the likelihood of that was not as high as he feared it was.
"Before I ask why you are all growing mushrooms out of your bodies…what on earth are you doing?" Fury said slowly. The guilty avengers all quickly blocked the view of the window behind them.
"Nothing!" they all said in unison. Fury narrowed his eyes.
"Agent Romanoff and agent Barton – I expected more from you," he said in disapproval. Natasha's eyes darkened.
"Director…if someone infected you with hundreds of mutated fungi that will take weeks to remove – what would you do?" she asked guardedly. He paused.
"What the hell are you talking abo-" he froze as he came face to face with the disgusting view of a hulk twitching on the ground with hundreds of green glowing mushrooms covering every inch of his green body. Oh dear god he looked like mushroom death warmed over.
"Hulk…no like tiny wiggle shrooms!" Hulk groaned as he coughed up another shroom. It was an ugly brown one too.
Fury stared at the insanity before him.
"You all know what this means right?" he said slowly. They all paled as they saw the odd look in his eyes.
"No Fury…you wouldn't!" Steve said in horror.
"QUARANTINED!" he shouted before he promptly slammed the door shut in their faces and locked it from the other side.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOO!" Tony wailed falling to his knees scratching at the metal door. Fury whipped out his tasser and melted the lock shut. He spun around the pointed at a random agent in the crowd.
"You! You there! Put the ship on red alert! We have an epidemic to prevent," Fury said before he stalked down the hall with a vicious smile on his face.
This meant at least 2 days without any Avengers shenanigans. He was in heaven.
Too bad his hand was starting to itch a little.
