Marvel : Nightwing

SHIELD

P

POV : Nightwing

After helping out with the cleanup, we gathered at the top of the nearby building's rooftop as the Fantastic Four is in a heated discussion while I stood in the corner waiting. Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, Johnny Storm and Sue Storm are discussing their future plans and whether they should join the Defenders or not.

Reeds is the first to approach me as he said "We appreciate your help in dealing with Victor and we know that you have good intentions in helping, but..."

Sue interrupted Reeds impatiently by saying "Even though the Defenders have been doing a good job in reducing the crime rates, you and your team members have been sending every bad guys you come across into the emergency ward".

Reeds continued "That is not what we do, we should be encouraging them to do the right thing".

Feeling irritated I replied "When is the last time all of you step outside of Baxter Building and use your powers to save people. You have been spending all your time in your science lab that you don't really know what is really happening in the real world".

Ben and Johnny nodded their heads in agreement.

Reeds argued back "But you can't change the world like this" as Sue wanted to say her piece.

I put up my hand to stop them, I said "Stop Bullshitting me! Unless you do what you preach, you don't have the right to make any comments. Spend some time in the real world and see it with your own eyes. Once you make a difference I will listen to you"

I walk towards Johnny and pass him a Wing-Wave communicator "Your family is your team but call any time if you guys need help, we don't agree on our methods but we do need to work together if there are enemies that we can't handle alone".

Johnny mumbled "But I really want to join the Defenders".

I replied "Don't worry I will give you a chance but you will need to pass all the members' tests"

Taking a glance at The Thing, I said "If you need a second opinion about your condition and power, you can find me. Since the others can control their power, I believe there is a method for you to do the same" Ben looks at me in surprise.

I walk towards the edge of the building roof and glide away into the night.

The Fantastic Four stood in silence deep in their own thought before Ben said "He's right. We could be out there making a big difference. While searching for a cure we could be a little more proactive in helping people in need".

Cheerfully Johnny slap Ben's back saying "Yes, glad to have you on my side" which Ben reply saying "Don't make me regret this".

"By the way Nightwing said something about me being an attention hogger and that I like to boast about myself. That is not true, right?" Johnny asked.

"It's True!" Everyone shouted back to him as Johnny sulkily replied "Traitors".

The Next Day

...

Sneaking into Agent Coulson's temporary SHIELD Base is an easy task as I avoided all their surveillance cameras and security alarms with the help of Oracle. I even hack their system just in case to determine whether they have found anything that may reveal my identity.
