S.H.I.E.L.D. HELICARRIER
Clark stepped off of the jet onto the aircraft carrier. Fury had explained to him about Loki, about the Tesseract and about the Avengers Initiative. He also told him that the only people who knew about him being an alien were himself and an agent named Colson. It didn't take long for Clark to decide what to do. His adopted world was in danger and he'd do anything to save it.
He looked around awkwardly not sure what to do. Off to the side he noticed two men he recognised. With nothing else to do he made his way over to them.
"Only word I care about," Steve Rogers stated.
"Um, high." Came a voice from behind them. They turned around to see a nineteen year old with black hair dressed in boots, jeans, a blue t-shirt and a red jacket.
"High," Steve greeted him as he stuck out his hand. Clark grabbed his hand and they shook.
"Quiet a handshake you've got there," Steve noted, surprised at how strong the hand shake was.
"Thanks," Clark replied with a huge smile. An awkward silence came over them as Clark continued to smile. "I'm sorry," he apologised. "I'm just such a big fan. I mean you're Captain America!" he beamed.
"Thanks," Steve replied awkwardly.
"And Dr Banner," he continued as he turned to the other man. "Your work on anti-electron collisions is incredible. I've read every paper you've ever written, your work is amazing. You're a true genius."
"Um, thanks," Bruce Banner replied.
"And who are you?" Rogers asked.
"Clark, Clark Kent."
"And what are you doing here? Do you work for S.H.I.E.L.D.?" he asked, wondering what this boy was doing on the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
"Oh no, Director Fury asked me to help with stopping Loki. I assume that's why you're both here." The two men stared at this strange man in front of them. Before they could ask any more questions a woman with short orange hair came over to them.
"Gentlemen, you may wanna step inside. It's gonna get a little hard to breath," Natasha Romanov suggested. Suddenly the Helicarrier started shaking.
"Is this is a submarine?" Clark asked, silently excited.
"Really? They wanted me in a submerged pressurised metal container?" Banner asked in disbelief.
The three men peered over the edge to see a pair of turbines mounted on the side of the aircraft carrier rising out of the water. The trio stared in awe before Banner smiled. "Oh no, this is much worse."
The trio were led by Natasha Romanov into the Helicarrier. Two automatic doors slid open as they entered the bridge of the ship. They were greeted by a flurry of activity as dozens of agents sat in front of computer screens, each playing a vital role. Agent Hill shouted instructions as the Helicarrier broke through the clouds. She turned to Nick Fury who stood at the command centre.
"We're at lock sir," she reported.
"Good, let's vanish," he announced.
From the inside nothing changed. However, if you were watching the Helicarrier from the outside it would appear as though it had just disappeared thanks to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s advanced camouflage equipment.
"Gentlemen," Fury greeted the men as he made his way over to them. Steve reached into his pocket and pulled out a ten dollar bill which Fury took. He walked up to Banner and extended his hand. Banner reluctantly shook it. "Doctor, thank you for coming," Fury thanked the man.
"Thanks for asking nicely. So, uh... how long am I staying?"
"Once we get our hands on the Tesseract, you're in the clear." Fury reported much to Banner's relief.
"Where are you with that?" he asked getting down to business. Nick looked to Agent Coulson to explain.
"We're sweeping every wirelessly accessible camera on the planet, cell phones, laptops. If it's connected to a satellite, it's eyes and ears for us."
"You have to narrow the field," Banner announced. "How many spectrometers do you have access to?"
"How many are there?" Fury asked rhetorically.
"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 based on cluster recognition. At least we could rule out a few places. Do you have somewhere for me to work?" Natasha lead Banner off to a lab where he could work. As she did Fury noticed a nervous looking Clark Kent.
"Nervous flyer?" he wondered as he walked up to the teen.
"No, nothing like that. It's just, everyone here knows what they're doing. They're familiar with all this." He nodded towards the bridge. "I guess, I just feel a bit out of place," he admitted. Fury smiled.
"Don't worry son. You'll get used to it."
Three hours passed as they waited for any sign of Loki. Finally, they found him.
"We got a hit," an agent reported. "Sixty-seven percent match. Weight, cross match, seventy-nine percent." He continued as Agent Colson to a look at the readings.
"Location?" He requested.
"Stuttgart, Germany. 28, Konigstrasse. He's not exactly hiding," the agent replied.
"Captain your up," Fury instructed. "Kent, follow me." They made their way through the hello carrier before coming to a sealed door. A bing filled the air as Fury punched in a four digit code. The door slid open and the two men entered. "I had this made for you," Fury explained. Clark still had no clue what he was talking about. Suddenly a light at the end of the rooms witches on revealing a glass cabinet. Inside was a pair of red boots and a pair of blue pants. However, what was most surprising was a long sleeved navy blue jacket, with his family crest on it in yellow and red.
"How did you know about the crest?" Clark wondered.
"I looked into Dr Swann's research," he revealed. Clark starred at the jacket, he had to admit, it looked pretty cool. "Suit up," he instructed.
Author's Note:
There's chapter 2. I promise next chapter will have some action.
This is during season 6 of Smallville and at the moment I'm not to sure on any pairings.
