SWORD Squad Delta 5. the Avengers and the Clone wars.

Chapter 2

"What's going on?" Tiberius asked as he walked in from another long night shift at the gas station.

"Another attack on New York city." Milward said

"Glad we don't live there anymore." Zola said softly.

"Is Uncle James and Finn fighting in it?" Tiberius asked now looking at the TV.

"Probably not. Finn or James probably took Fury's position and are directing the battle. Although I am surprised to see Cap and Bucky still in the game, damn, they got to be at least a hundred and sixty something." Milward said

"We need to go help them." Tiberius said

"No, I'm done with that life son." Milward said turning away from the TV.

"Then at least I should go." Tiberius said

"No, we can't afford that." Milward said

"Dad, what if they can't hold the city? Then it will be up to us. And I don't want the fight to come any closer than it already is. One of us needs to take the fight to the city and keep it there." Tiberius said as Milward fought with himself knowing that his son was right but at the same time did not want to risk losing his son.

"Dad, if it is finances you are worried about, I made a few good investments in the stock market that have paid me back a handsome sum of money that I can rout to your bank account. But I will fight, mom can't fight like she used to, and neither can you. I will go out into the field and give those droids a taste of the McCarthy battle spirit, while you stay there and keep mom safe." Tiberius said insisting on going to the fight, the urge boiling inside of him. Milward still stod in thought as he heard Tiberius' words as something in him stirred, something that he had not felt for a long time, too long in fact, the urge to protect and defend, to fight for his home, and family. After much thought and his urge to do his duty and protect and defend his family consumed him he nodded to his son as he went down to the safe where he kept his weapons and armor and gathered them up and took them to the living room of his house, while Tiberius shot upstairs like grease lighting and came backdown wearing his fatigues that he bought. Black World War II jump boots, green pants and field jacket, paratrooper gloves, flack vest, equipment belt and suspenders and M1 grand bandolier. He also sported a British Mk VII gas mask bag and World War II German helmet. He went to the mantle where his M1 grand, Longsword and M 1911 were placed, all presents given to him when he turned Thirteen and proved himself worthy of such tools.

After saying goodbye, Tiberius jumped in his 1944 willies jeep and drove down to the city where the fight had started to turn south, the B1 battle droids were beginning to overrun the Avengers and with more inbound the fight was beginning to look hopeless. Finn who was now the director of SHIELD recalled the Avengers to Stark tower. As Tiberius walked inside he observed that the lobby of Stark Tower had been made into a meusieum, and on the left wall hung poartets of all of the Avengers who had died, Tony Stark, Natasha Romanoff he husband Clint Barton, Scott Lang, Wanda Maximoff, Vision (Died during the Infinity War), Sam Wilson, James Rhodes Agents Phill Coulson, and Maria Hill, and Director Fury, to name a few. There were also spots on the wall with a bronze plate with the names of the others, like James and his brother Finn MacLachlan, Tatyana, Zola, Milward, Steve Rogers, and James Barns. The new Avengers were led by Finn and Tatyana who were the Directors of SHIELD, and were trained by Thor, Steve and Bucky, the Hulk was still, the Hulk. Tiberius took it all in, a wave of deep sadness came over him as he knew one day soon his parents would be on the wall next to their friends that they fought beside. Tiberius was pulled from his thoughts by Peter Parker, now in his Sixties.

"Who are you?" Peter asked

"Tiberius McCarthy." Tiberius replied, shaking Peter's hand

"Pleased to meet you." Peter said as Finn came out and presented the plan to them. The New Avengers under the guidance of Captain America who looked to be in his late forties early fifties, but in reality was closer to one hundred and seventy. They would also be fighting along side Thor and Hulk, while Tiberius and Bucky would be assigned to the new SHIELD squad Delta 5.

Delta 5 was the newest Squad in SHIELD. As technology had progressed, SHIELD began making starships, and started a new division, the Sentient Worlds Observation and Response Department, AKA S.W.O.R.D., this was an Earth-based espionage agency charged with handling extraterrestrial affairs. Delta 5 was the first expeditionary force of SWORD and was formed to be a rapid response force to Extraterrestrial attacks. Tiberius and Bucky were under the command of Captain Ulysses, and his fifty men in the squad. They left Earth and were under orders to destroy and neutralize all droids and droid transports, but as usual that did not go exactly according to plan.

As the starship prepared to dock with the droid ship, Tiberius loaded his M1 as they docked. The door opened and Tiberius did not wait, battle droids fell like flies, landing with a thud as Tiberius kept up the fire. The other SWORD agents moved forward as Tiberius covered them, the droids could not retreat fast enough to escape the deadly hail of led that Tiberius sent their direction. The entire company secured the ship clearing it and taking possession of the bridge. As they made their way forward, the tactical droid pushed a lever forward, as Milward parked a 30-06 solid ball right through the droid and in the instrument, cluster scrambling the hyperspace calculations. The spaceship was on a crash course with the planet, Geonosis where at that time there was a vicious fight taking place.
