Project Next-Gen

Super secret avengers meeting.

Sam's Pov.

Once T'challa arrived, the remaining Avengers, Bucky, Pepper, Rhodey, Clint, Bruce and Fury, gathered in the briefing room.

We all take a seat and Fury stands in the front of the room.

"I've called you all here to discuss the advancements of project next-gen. The original purpose of this meeting was to discuss how and when we were going to inform the kids of the project however, Monica Rambeau of S.W.O.R.D. contacted me a few hours ago about a potential candidate they found for the project," Fury announced

"You know, I've been doing some thinking and, are you sure this is a good idea? This plan, it's a long shot." Bucky asked.

"This was Stark's death wish. He saved the universe, the least we can do is honour it." Furry responded.

"I'm with Bucky on this one, we're not that desperate. Not to say it's a bad idea, I just don't think it should happen yet." Rhodey explained.

"I agree, I think we should at least consider putting more thought in, and were not even sure the kids would agree with it," Pepper added.

"Does anyone else think we should postpone the project?" Furry asked the rest of the room.
Everyone raised their hands, and Furry let out a soft sigh.

"Ok, it's set, Project-next gen, is to be postponed until further notice," Furry said, almost cutting the meeting short.

"However, we still need to test them, even if we postpone the project we've got to see if it's actually gonna take," Clint suggested restarting the discussion.

"I agree, we should send them on a mission, something small, to get the ball rolling," Rhodey replied.

"I guess that's possible, My S.W.O.D. contact spoke of an illegal weapons operation she was going to assign a team to take down in a few months. I'll ask her if she can reassign the mission to us, and hopefully, she'll bring her asset with her.

"That can work," Bucky replied. "But someone's gonna have to go with them, a lot of bad things can happen on a mission,"

"I agree, but it can't be me, I've kind of got something going on," said Clint.

"I'll do it, it's been quiet lately, and I need an excuse to pick up the shield," I announced to the room.
"Does anyone else want to volunteer?" Fury asked, and the room remained silent.

"Alright then, we'll call another meeting in a few weeks, to further discuss this, and then hopefully, we'll call a meeting with the kids and break the news. You're all dismissed." Furry said, wrapping up the meeting.

Everyone left the room but I decided to stay for a few minutes. I realised just how much things have changed since the blip. The world is in chaos, and so are the Avengers
My thoughts were interrupted by a loud knock on the door. I look up and see Bucky at the door, with his metal index finger stuck in the wall. He pulled it out and returned to normal. The room filled with silence for a while before he broke it.

"Let me buy you a drink," He asked grinning.
