It was three hours later when the Helicarrier greeted the Avengers Quinjet over the Pacific Ocean. In his pocket, Matt held the canister firmly. The Orange Infinity Stone was to be discussed of with Matt present in two days. The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D and his team would land and decide with him. It seemed like Matt was a full member of the revived organization.
"We'll be spending a few days here to debrief and relax. Then we can return to the tower. Matt, I'm not sure they have your room ready. You're welcome to bunk with me." Steve said as the Avengers walked off the jet. When he was alone, Matt opened the container. Orange light filtered out and Matt stared with wonder. Footsteps approached and he closed the case. A woman came into the jet and stopped firmly in front of Matt.
"My name is Maria Hill, come with me." Matt didn't tell her that they already met, just went along with it. He followed her into the Helicarrier and down a hallway. A secluded room opened and inside was Nick Fury.
"I may not be Director anymore, but until further notice I'll be your commanding officer. When the new director gets here in a few days, he will assign a DA for you and then you can begin your training as a S.H. .D agent. Until than you are a Level 4 Agent, your badge will be given to you by the director and a decision for the stone will be made after your debrief. Until that time, handle it with care. Dismissed." Fury walked out of the room. Matt was slowly learning his way around the ship, and soon found where his suit went. Everyone else's was already on display, a small note in nice handwriting told him to meet them in the large mess hall.
When he walked into the room, Steve waved him over. Matt sat in one of the many chairs surrounding the table and found himself feeling included with the group. Thor cleared his throat getting everyone's attention.
"Matthew, if you could show the stone." Thor asked. Almost immediately Matt pulled the Hand out of his pocket. Sliding it open the stone hovered in place and gave a soft orange light. Matt felt drawn to it, like he was to the Soul Stone.
"Thor, explain."
"This is the last one, the Time Stone. Matt was the Soul Stone before Nebula acquired it and who knows where it is. A small police force is holding the Power Stone, and a Collector is holding the Reality. Asgardians are holding the Space and it would seem the Mind Stone has fallen into the custody of H.Y.D.R.A. These are all six, and all incredibly powerful. The fact that Matt has successfully controlled two show me he is worthy of holding this one, but it is not up to me. But my word might hold meaning."
"It will." Steve said assuringly. "Until then, Matt and I will be training for his next mission whenever that is. It won't be long before the Media finds out who he is so better make sure he's ready." Matt was wondering about Casey in all of this, how angry would she be at him if he was outed as an Avenger. Avoiding her for almost two years when he was overall okay, she was going to be furious.
It was a few hours later when Matt walked into his shared room with Steve and the two sat on their separate beds.
"You know, it's quite a compliment for Thor to say you're worth of holding one of the most powerful things in the Universe." Steve told him. Matt nodded looking at the Hand.
"Do I want to though?" Matt asked.
"You've done it before." Steve told him.
"Yeah, but I split it evenly with two others and slowly got all of it. This would be all at once, even if it does act like the Soul stone did."
"I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. You're running out of the Soul energy, Banner told me and I'm sure Tony told you. When that energy is gone, so are you. And I'm not losing anyone on my team."
"Wouldn't my healing do something?" Matt asked.
"I don't know. Banner didn't want us telling you about it. It's better to tell you than watch you die. So if our word means anything, you are going to become an Infinity Stone again. Before it's too late. Now get some rest." Steve told him.
Matt did the opposite. He lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling. Following the cracks and contours of the metal. His mind was light, he was almost floating. Steve was sound asleep in the bed across the room. It wasn't for a few more minutes until Matt finally gave up and began to sleep.
Alright, time to introduce the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D into this. I'm thinking about just running this into Age of Ultron with Matt actually being in it. Which would be cool. I saw Ant-Man this last week and maybe could do a tie in there. No idea, I'm kinda wanting to have Thanos in this one but I might just do a sequel again when Civil War comes out and we meet the future Avengers. And we already met the Inhumans in AoS so I could add them (I kinda am with Skye in the next chapter). But thats Chapter 7, and I'm hoping to have 8 up by two weeks. Thank you guys for reading, and I hope I'm pleasing you guys. I'm happy that I have all the Infinity Stones now, unlike the MCU and I can make Matt's character develop with them. But yep, thanks guys. Leave a review and have a good day.
