Little Avenger

5a

I'm walking with Thor and Nat when we reach a room with Fury, Steve, Tony, and Banner.

"I was wrong director. The world hasn't changed a bit." Steve states.

"Did you know about this?" Banner asks Nat.

"You wanna think about removing yourself from this environment?"

"I was in Calcutta." He chuckles. "I was pretty well removed."

"Loki is manipulating you."

"And you've been doing what, exactly?"

"You didn't come here because, I bat my eyelashes at you."

"Yes, and I'm not leaving because, suddenly you get a little twitchy. I'd like to know why Shield is using the tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction."

"Because of him." Fury points to Thor.

"Me?" He doubts.

"Last year, Earth had a visitor from another planet who had a grudge match that leveled a small town. We learned that not only are we not alone, but, we are hopelessly, hilariously, outgunned."

"My people want nothing but peace with your planet." Thor objects.

"But, you're not the only people out there, are you? And you're not the only threat. The world's filling up with people who can't be matched, that can't be controlled."

"Like you controlled the cube?" Steve asks.

"Your work with the tesseract is what drew Loki to it, and his allies." Thor states. "It is a signal to all the realms that the Earth is ready for a higher form of war."

"A higher form?"

"You forced our hand." Fury objects. "We had to come up with some-."

"A nuclear deterrent." Tony interrupts. "Because, that always calms everything right down."

"Remind me again how you made your fortune, Stark."

"I'm sure if he still made weapons, Stark would be neck-deep." Steve starts.

"Hold on." Tony pauses. "How is this now about me?"

"I'm sorry, isn't everything?"

"I thoughts humans were more evolved than this." Thor steps forward.

"Excuse me, did we come to your planet and blow stuff up?" Fury turns to him.

The all start arguing and talking over each other while I just sit at one of the chairs, watching and waiting for something stupid to happen so, I can stop it.

"You speak of control, yet you court chaos." Thor chuckles.

"That's his M.O., isn't it?" Banner asks. "I mean, what are we, a team? No, no, no, we're a chemical mixture that makes chaos. We're a time bomb."

"You need to step away." Fury states.

"Why shouldn't the guy let off a little steam?" Tony asks as he sets his hand on Steves shoulder.

"You know damn well why." He knocks his hand away. "Back off."

"Oh, I'm starting to want you to make me."

"Yeah. Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?"

"Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist." He states and Nat nods along.

"I know guys with none of that worth ten of you. I've seen the footage. The only thing you really fight for is yourself. You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play, to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you."
