This chapter is unbeta'd.
And short, i felt as if this piece didn't fit into the whole big next chapter so i made a different chapter for it even if it's small.

Steve was amused by the reaction of most shield agents gave them. The whole team, with the exception of Tony who, Steve guessed, would arrive any moment now with the Hummingbird. They headed towards the deck in a straight, no- nonsense pace, fully ready and capable to pressure Fury into Loki's release. And nobody dared to stop him, gone was that shy blond boy called Steve, replaced by a stern faced man that only needed to look at a soldier or shield agent for them to move.

Right now they weren't an eclectic group if friends, Clint, Natasha, Bruce, those people didn't exist, not right now. The Avengers, a team, each one genuinely respected , sometimes even feared, for their accomplishments. Nobody would stop them now, and if Steve was right half of them shared the same opinion as him.

The doors to the hellicariers deck slid open, revealing the busy epicenter, agents hastily scurrying away to the sided to make way. "Fury. I'm going to ask once, politely to set Loki free." To his right somebody in uniform cast a surprised open- eyed look at his statement, confirming Steve's believe that most of the staff wasn't unformed if this.

Fury however didn't even turn to face him. " He is a war criminal Captain, he is to remain in detention at all times."

Steve looked outside at the darkening sky while he walked to stand beside Fury. "There is more than meets the eye." Behind him Clint tried to stifle a snort at the comment. "Something you refuse to acknowledge."

Fury had his hands across his back, keeping a straight authorities posture as he said. "Even if there where softening circumstances, he's still a danger to us."

Steve noted and stared straight at Fury in righteous anger. "No, he is not. " Steve grinded his teeth and clenched his jaw. "Innocent people lost their lives in the sewers, Tony nearly died because of your mistake to keep one of the kept Chitauri weapons to dissect and test . You kept at least one of knowing what it meant."

Shield's commander stood still like a stone statue. "That matter was out of my hands, trust me i…"

Bruce stepped forward, keeping himself valiantly calm." How do you expect us to believe in a shield that doesn't protect?"

For a moment it seemed as if fury was contemplating what to say next. His stance was still as straight as a rob, there was however a hint of regret in the lines of his face. "Sometimes sacrifices are needed."

One of the agents's turned their head. "Sir! The hummingbird has landed."

Soon a small escort of men brought in it's passenger, Steve's mouth almost dropped open. In fact the whole room looked slightly stunned with the exception of Natasha who was her usual stoic self and fury who looked ready to pop a vein. " Bob?"

The grin on bob's face was wide and friendly, even if his current environment wasn't exactly welcoming. "Hey Steve!" He felt out of his depth here, perhaps some of Macy's Government conspiracy theories where right after all. He kind of missed that old semi-toothless had, one of the many beggars he'd known back in the days. Still he would not give this one-eyed pirate with a leather fetish stare him down. " So I take it yer fury right?"

Fury hadn't calculated for this. He knew the hummingbird was heading for the hellcarrier, and he had fully expected somebody else a board. Of all the times Tony stark had to annoy him it had to be now. "Where is Stark?"

Bob just shrugged; "Don't ask me I'm just a decoy."
