(after Tony stark birthday party)

Nick Fury stormed into his office on the helicarrier, still simmering from the events of Tony Stark's birthday party. The party had been a whirlwind of celebrations, tech demonstrations, and unfinished business. Fury had handed over Howard Stark's unfinished work—a legacy project that had been gathering dust for years. It was a symbolic gesture, acknowledging Stark's father's brilliance and the importance of continuing the work.

Now, with the festivities behind him, Fury's mood was darker. He needed answers, and as he sat behind his desk, a fresh wave of frustration hit him. Maria Hill walked in, her expression grim.

"Sir, we've gone through the Stark Expo structure," Hill began. "We tried everything, but we couldn't find any additional data or hidden tech. It's as if there's nothing left to uncover in it."

Fury's frustration boiled over. He slammed his fist on the desk. "Motherfuckers, I knew it. Ritsuka was right. No one can figure this out except Stark and Da Vinci. And now we're back to square one."

He leaned back, letting his thoughts drift to Ritsuka Fujimaru and the world from which he came. The stories Ritsuka had shared—of apocalyptic battles and cosmic forces—kept echoing in Fury's mind. He also learnt that Ritsuka faced a cosmic entity which came to earth as Ritsuka told him recently. Fury's respect for Ritsuka had grown from mere curiosity to genuine awe. The gravity of the threats Ritsuka had faced was something Fury couldn't ignore.

"I need to make a decision," Fury said, his tone resolute. "A big one."

Hill looked up, surprised. "What do you mean, sir?"

Fury took a deep breath. "Project Insight. We're shutting it down."

Hill's eyes widened. "What? But that's... that's a massive undertaking. It's been in development for years. We've invested billions of dollars, and the council—"

"Forget the council bitches," Fury interrupted. "I've seen the evidence. Ritsuka's been dealing with world-ending threats. He's faced things that make Project Insight look like a Disney fucking toy. If the Phoenix Force and world threats are coming, Insight's fucking useless."

"But the council—"

"I don't care about their shit fears," Fury cut her off again. "They're terrified of mutants, but they need to understand that the real danger comes from beyond. Ritsuka's story makes it clear that if we don't prepare for the cosmic threats, we're KFC toast."

Hill's expression hardened. "Stopping Project Insight means a lot of wasted resources. Not to mention the council's reaction. They won't take kindly to this."

Fury's gaze was unwavering. "I'm not going to backstab my friend. Ritsuka's identity and his warnings are enough to convince me. Besides, we've got a cosmic cloud that came close to Earth a few days ago. Reports indicate that its energy signature is still lingering. If I can use that to persuade that damn council, damn I will use it."

Hill frowned. "And what's your plan?"

"We'll repurpose the resources," Fury said decisively. "Turn Project Insight into three rescue helicarriers. They'll be our new focus. We need to be prepared for the real threats out there. The only thing we've got to protect ourselves right now is the Tesseract. We'll make sure that we can handle whatever comes next."

Hill stared at him, processing the enormity of the decision. "Alright, sir. I'll start drafting the plans for the transition. But this won't be easy."

Fury nodded, a flicker of determination in his eyes. "I know. But sometimes, making the right decision means going against the tide. We're going to make sure Earth is ready for the real threats. It's the only way forward."
