003 : HIS FIRST NAME IS AGENT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[SHIELD ANALYTICAL ROOM - NIGHT]
Fury is speaking to members of the World Security Council in front of several large monitors.
COUNCILMAN #1: This is out of line, Director. You're dealing with forces you can't control.
FURY: You ever been in a war, councilman? In a firefight? Did you feel an overabundance of control?
COUNCILMAN #1: You're saying that Asgard has declared war on our planet?
"Asgard would never; my home only seeks peace with yours," Thor defended his home.
"We know Thor," Bruce comforted the Asgardian.
FURY: Not Asgard. Loki.
COUNCILMAN #2: He can't be working alone. What about the other one, his brother?
FURY: Our intelligence says Thor is not a hostile. But he's worlds away, we can't depend on him to help. It's up to us.
COUNCILMAN #1: Which is why you should be focusing on Phase Two, it was designed for exactly -
The team, mainly Steve and Tony, exchanged irritated looks at the mere mention of Phase Two. Given that the Council prioritizes that over people's safety.
FURY: Phase Two isn't ready; our enemy is. We need a response team.
COUNCILMAN #1: The Avengers Initiative was shut down.
FURY: This isn't about the Avengers.
COUNCILMAN #1: We're running the world's greatest covert security network and you're gonna leave the fate of the human race to a handful of freaks.
"We're not freaks," Inessa scoffed
"Besides, these people that you are calling "freaks" have saved more people than you could ever," Natasha said defending the team
FURY: I'm not leaving anything to anyone. We need a response team. These people may be isolated, unbalanced even, but I believe, with the right push, they can be exactly what we need.
COUNCILWOMAN #2: You believe?
COUNCILMAN #1: War isn't won by sentiment, Director.
