Intermission

Alistair Smythe, the former head scientist of Oscorp Industries is in prison due to the illegal human experiment and the illegal things that he has done under Norman Osborn's order. He is aware that he is guilty of playing a part in creating monsters but the result is a huge breakthrough for mankind in the military field.

Alistair is disappointed that the government or military didn't want to accept the deal he offered to remake the serum immediately. They wanted him to keep his head down first in prison and wait until the public sentiment was reduced before bringing him out.

During prison yard time a tall Russian man approached him.

"Are you Alistair Smythe?" the Russian growled as he stood in front of Alistair.

"Yes..." Alistair replied back stuttering.

"My name is Sergei Kravinoff (Kraven). Someone told me that you can create serum and equipment that can rival the vigilante ability" Sergei said feeling a bit interested.

"Yes, I can but I can't create it here" Alistair answered back feeling slightly confident.

Sergei stared at Alistair for a few moments before saying "If I say that I can fund your research and bring you out from prison. Will you follow me?".

"Follow? How?" Alistair asked with a confused expression.

"Don't worry about that! I only need to know whether you want to rot away in prison or be outside to improve your research" Sergei snapped.Alistair smiled back at Sergei replied "When do I start?".

"Soon" Sergei replied as he made the plan inside his head to contact his half brother Dmitri Smerdyakov aka Chameleon.

Apartment somewhere in New York

Nick Fury stood in the dark room as a woman with red hair came into the room.

"Don't tell me you are here just to check on me Fury?" the woman said as she walked towards the kitchen.

"I was nearby so I decided to pay you a visit. So how is things progressing, Romanoff" Fury replied as he sat on the sofa.

"My cover as Natalie Rushman infiltration of Stark Industries is progressing well. I think I will be promoted soon as Pepper Potts's assistant" Natasha Romanoff replied.

"Good. Any obstacle?" Fury replied

"Nope. Just had to make a colleague sick for a few days" Romanoff replied smirking as she sat on the sofa opposite Fury.

Fury sighed to himself before saying "Keep a close eye on Stark, he is attracting a lot of unwanted attention" as he stood back up.

"So how is the pop sickle?" Romanoff asked curiously as she took out her smartphone.

"He is still adapting to the changes in the world, but I believe over time he will be fine" Fury replied confidently.

Romanoff smirks to herself saying "Has Coulson visited him yet? I know he has trouble controlling himself from finding his favorite hero"

"He tried to but Rogers is currently in SHIELD's training room doing some last minute training" Fury chuckled.

"Training? Is there a mission?" said Romanoff sitting up in attention.

"Not your problem. Just need him to help settle a bet" Fury said dismissively.

Romanoff pouted in annoyance before saying "Just make sure you record Coulson when he goes all fanboy over Captain America".

Fury ignored her statement before saying "So have you found out why Stark is trying to avoid us recently"

"No, I am still investigating but he seems more focused on his health recently and partying hard" Romanoff replied.
