REVIEW
Tony Stark was a man who despised being out of the loop. It didn't just rock his boat. He needed to know and what he didn't know was always accessible with the help of Jarvis. Yet this time was different. The indestructible and pain in the ass Nicolas Fury was dead. The guy who knew everything and hides it from Stark was no longer among the living. It took Tony along time for the information to process. One week later he is still trying to get the information through his head without freaking out.
When he first heard the news he burst out laughing. That guy couldn't die. It just wasn't real. Saying Nick Fury was dead was like saying that Loki was going to dress up like a cheery princess fairy. Not going to happen. But the impossible did. The stony and untrusting director of SHIELD was murdered. Tony was beginning to expect Loki coming down from Asgard in a hot pink dress with a tiara, wand. And even fake hot pink butterfly wings.
Yet was pissed Tony off was the fact that he was helping and embedding three possible terrorists from the now labeled terrorist organization, SHILED. And they refused to tell him anything He should have been happy was that neither Clint Barton, Natasha Romanoff and the great Maria Hill needed him, the guy they could easily kill in a blink of an eye, to survive. Yet though he provided them a safe haven so they could work for him they didn't tell him anything about what happened.
Sure he heard it on news and even spoken to some guys in the military but only very few people knew what happened. Two of them currently were the most suspicious ones. Maria Hill disappeared for a couple of days without contact when he questioned her about it she didn't tell him anything. Now Natasha Romanoff left after getting a phone call. Always be suspicious of the ladies, especially the two who were deadly smart (no pun intended). Not Clint Barton. The guy wasn't suspicious at all. In fact he wasn't even in New York when HYDRA revealed themselves. He was in Greece following up some strange power surges on advice from Bruce Banner, who lived with Tony because you don't abandon your fellow science buddy.
Disrupting his thoughts he hears the sound of the elevator opening revealing the deadly Black Widow she had a grave expression on her face like she was deep in thought. The sight of the coldhearted, fearless ice queen with a look of worry upon her features made Tony feel a bit scared too. But he wasn't a guy to worry it just didn't fit his bad boy image. So he did the only justifiable thing. He made light on a dark situation.
"Did someone break your sweet little heart? " Tony couldn't help but ask as he took a glance at the assassin from behind his newspaper. Natasha of course didn't look fazed by the comment for she didn't have time to even chastise or threaten the vulnerable billionaire sitting on his couch for Maria Hill stepped into the room.
"Is he here," Maria said in a stony cold voice has she enetered the room with her hands crossed over chest with a look of dread apparent on her face. She looked ready to face a war any minute. Natasha looked hesitantly at a confused Tony but answered once Hill gave her a nod of consent.
"He's here alright in the flesh," Natasha said with a look of amusement when remembering the other agent she thought fondly of like a brother a very annoying one. Hill nodded her head already accepting her worst fear yet. When the agent first joined SHIELD he made it especially clear after training that he wanted nothing to do with this country physically and mentally. He would work for SHEILD among the condition that his missions would be anywhere but the United States, and Greece. It was a strange and unique condition but he was one of the most valued agents ever. He was the best some would even argue that he was better than the Black Widow and Hawkeye. The boy was even more insufferable than Stark but he was a born leader.
Yet what worried Hill was that Percy Jackson came back to the very country he despised something was going to happen. It definitely wasn't going to be good.
"Would anyone like to tell me what the hell is happening for a change?" Stark said getting up his bored façade gone. But before anyone could answer the confused Tony the sound of the elevator opened revealing a white middle-aged man in a suit with a young girl with cappuccino skin behind him. The sight of the duo made Maria Hill grin especially when he said:
"Why would we do that? No one likes telling you anything Stark."
Yet the same reaction wasn't true for the others. Tony Stark stared waiting for some hot hooker to come in the room and tell him it was all a dream and that he would wake up with the familiar taste of vomit in his mouth and pounding headache. However, this wasn't a hangover, unfortunately this was real.
Natasha Romanoff just stared with a look of pure disbelief as her hand crept to her leather jacket where laid a small throwing knife. In that moment the assassin wanted to do was wish and pray that the man before her was a killing machine or lunatic. But unfortunately for her a thing like this was supposed to be accepted. She may of thought of Nick Fury as a father but he hid things from everybody. She was no different.
In a matter of seconds since Coulson's arrival he had to duck from a flying knife and a bottle of scotch. To tell you the truth he was relived to have that as a reaction but then again the look on the two people's face before him wasn't something he was prepared for. He could dodge bullets, knives, arrows, alien weapons and even flying bottles of alcohol. However, Phil wasn't prepared for the looks of hurt and pain flashing over the iron man and black widows faces. He couldn't deal with emotions this situation was no different. Yet he smiled anyways. A spy doesn't let his or her emotions interfere with the task at hand.
"I missed you too," he said rather sarcastically but was met with looks of anger. Both Tony and Natasha were enraged. Words couldn't describe the onslaught of emotions thrashing inside of them like a tsunami for they thought their friend and colleague was dead. However, he truly was alive without even telling them what happened. Phil was wrong to fear Percy's reaction he should be peeing his pants for those two especially when Clint and Bruce came from downstairs. Before either Natasha or Tony could say anything or throw anything for that fact, Clint and Bruce interrupted them.
"What's going on? " Clint voiced annoyed that Tony and Natasha were getting into another argument. Normal people would find it terrifying but not Clint he just found it irritating.
"What's all that ruckus for?" Bruce said voicing his fears. But when both laid eyes on the scene before them they just stood there slacked jaw. The tension in the room was so thick that a knife could cut through it but only an extremely sharp knife. Silence was evident through the tower as the avengers stared at a once fellow avenger who was thought dead while Maria Hill sat down in a chair with a perfect bird's eye view of the scene below wishing she had some popcorn to munch down.
For what seemed like hours the silence was soon disturbed with the unison sounds of shouts from the avengers as they shouted at Phil Coulson with all their anger and worry and how they were upset they were left out of the loop from the popular kids (Tony). They were yelling so loud that no one heard the elevator opening except for Skye who stood in the corner watching the scene in awe as she saw so many famous and popular people that SHIELD always talked about. No one noticed the tall figure retreating to the corner beside Skye with an amused smirk on his lips as he asked Skye if she wanted half of his Cadbury milk chocolate bar with buttery popcorn as he pulled out of his leather jacket pocket revealing his sliver sword. You know you're good when you can sneak past the Black Widow's line of vision, Percy Jackson thought amused.
