Tony Stark one shots

Not-Godfather

Nicholas Fury was an old man- he had accomplished things that normal people could hope to achieve in a lifetime. He was previously a CIA agent, the leading, and then with the power of Howard Stark and a separate military segment of the U.S. Powers, the leader of SHIELD.

SHIELD of course had a board, people located all around the world to help vote on difficult or world threatening decisions. Although he was not the main superpower of SHIELD, he was the reason why SHIELD still worked.

The Board were a group of idiots who were too afraid to show their faces and see what they had done, or decided to do. They wanted to send in assassins after a Russian celebrity because of his so called 'involvement' with a military black market trade. Not only was the idea completely idiotic, they then attempted to plant a bomb within his hotel room when Fury refused to use his recourses.

Not only did the U.S. get the blame for the bombing, but the man wasn't even within a mile of the room when it went off, killing fourteen civilians. The thing that made it worse was that the man turned out to be innocent.

'Casualties of war' they stated, ignoring it to a point that Fury was this close to disclosing their names and ranks to the Russian government and letting them all be killed.

Of course, after the incident the U.S. had greatly reduced the power of the Board, giving Fury a majority of the say on larger events, causing him to become the head honcho of everything SHIELD.

He worked on this and rose to the top of his chain after Howard had split ways a fair bit, his wife Maria being pregnant with their first born.

Fury wouldn't ever admit it, but he was...touched, when Howard called him up and personally sent him an escorted jet so Fury could see Howard's son before the press got to him.

Little Anthony was adorable, and although it wasn't upon Fury's power or rights, he swore to Howard and Maria right then and there within that hotel room, that he would do everything in his power, to shield Anthony.

Maria offered him a grateful smile and instead corrected him quietly.

Correction, he'd do everything in his power to shield Tony.

Being in the head position of SHIELD led to some drawbacks, for example, relations.

Fury couldn't show that he had favorites, romantic interests, or even family, in fear of snipers or some other organization he pissed off.

Of course, he actually did care.

The moment the alarms went off in the Middle East, showing that those stupid Ten Rings had gone off on another killing spree Fury that gritting his teeth in annoyance, trying not to call the Board just so they'd eagerly nuke the area.

He was about to send in some troops just to get rid of them, information be damned, just because they were so pesky. When the report came in that they had Tony Stark hostage.

Fury quietly walked to his room, closing the door and locking it to his private quarters, quickly filtering through several global imaging units and heat sensors, hoping to find a hint as of what happened to Tony Stark.

He was halfway through hacking his way (poorly, he hadn't done this in years) into a terrorist mob in India, hoping that they had relations when a knock on his door came.

His head snapped up, and he resisted the urge to ignore it and continue searching for his almost-godson.

"What?" He snapped, opening the door quickly and seeing Agent Coulson with little more than a blink.
