Y/N STOOD AT THE THRESHOLD of his office, his eyes locked onto the figure sitting on his chair. The man, dressed in a dark coat, turned slowly to face him, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Who are you?" Y/N demanded, his voice low and edged, "And how did you find me?"
"Director Fury. SHIELD. And let's just say I have my ways." The man stepped forward slightly, extending a hand, "You're good, but I've been in this game a long time."
Y/N didn't take the offered hand, simply looking at it before he walked up towards his desk.
"SHIELD. . ." He muttered, "Didn't think they did house calls."
Fury let his hand drop, unperturbed, "We don't, usually. But you're a special case."
Y/N's eyes narrowed, placing his hands on his waist.
"What do you want?"
"We need to talk." Fury said calmly, though with subtle raises of urgency, "And it's not something that can wait."
"Then start talking." Y/N pressed.
Fury moved slowly, pulling a file from inside his coat and placing it on the table between them.
He opened it, revealing detailed notes and images of the Tesseract, Dr. Erik Selvig's research, and several reports marked with SHIELD insignias.

"This is the Tesseract. " Fury said, tapping the file, "It's a source of immense power. Even has the potential to wipe out the entire planet, and recently, it's been causing some. . .issues."
Y/N's eyes flicked over the documents, absorbing the information quickly, "What kind of issues?"
"Spontaneous energy surges, radiation spikes. We had an incident at one of our facilities. A portal opened, and someone came through. A very. . . dangerous someone."
Y/N remained silent, his mind processing the implications. Fury continued.
"We're facing a potential global catastrophe. We need to get it back. And for that, we need people who can handle themselves in the darkest places, where no one else can go."
"And you think I'm one of those people?" Y/N's voice was skeptical, guarded.
"I know you are." Fury replied firmly, "You've become legend here. You've made people believe in the supernatural. People making stories. The terror etched in your name. You've got criminals avoiding the dark—"
"And I'd like to keep it that way." Y/N interjected.
Nick purses his lip, exhaling through his nose, "This isn't just about SHIELD or any government. This is about protecting our world from a threat that none of us can face alone."
