"These were in Coulson's jacket," Fury held Phil's now-bloody trading cards beforethrowing them onto the table, right in front of Steve, "Guess he never did get you to sign them."

Steve picked one up, staring at the card as Fury spoke, sighing, "We're dead in the air up here. Our communications, location of the cube.. Banner, Thor... I got nothing for you. Lost my one good eye.. maybe I had that coming."

Daisy comforted Violet, rubbing her back as Violet silently cried, trying not to cause a commotion.

"Yes.. we were going to build an arsenal with the tesseract. I never put all my chips on that number though, because I was playing something even riskier," Fury walked around the table, "There was an idea, Stark knows this, called THE AVENGERS INITIATIVE. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people.. to see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together when we need them to, to fight the battles we never could. Phil Coulson died still believing in that idea.. in heroes."

Tony looked up from the floor and stood up from his chair, walking out because he didn't want to hear this anymore.

"Well... It's an old fashioned notion," Fury's voice got smaller.

Daisy grabbed Steve's hand as they walked to the room where Natasha and Clint were. Steve looked down at their hands, his cheeks turning pink. She shyly smiled, wrapping her other hand around his arm as she leaned more into it once they opened the door.

"Let's go!" Daisy smiled at Natasha, obviously a little excited because her and Steve were holding hands.

The left corner of Natasha's lip quirked up, "Where?"

"We'll tell you later.. Can you fly one of those jets?" Steve asked, trying to hide his smile.

Clint walked out from the restroom, "I can."

Steve looked at Natasha to check if Clint was Clint, she nodded.

"Hi, Clint," Daisy grinned over at him. He smiled in return.

"You got a suit?" Steve asked him, Clint nodding in reply.

"Then suit up," Steve and Daisy walked out and down the hall.

Daisy wore her SHIELD suit, that they gave her, and her hair was in a tight and high ponytail, some stray hairs escalating down her face. She had guns on each side of her waist, two knives next to them.

Steve put on his helmet, Daisy watching him, "You know.. you haven't told me how you're still alive--but It's not like I don't want you to be alive, I'm really glad and happy that you are alive," Steve rambled after he grabbed his shield.

"Hydra.." Daisy whispered, looking down.

Steve dropped his shield, clenching his fists, "Did they hurt you?" his eyes softened as he grabbed her face, his thumbs gently caressing her cheekbones, making her smile while he looked down and into her eyes.

"No.. but, they gave me powers," she admitted.

He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, "Powers?
