Falling For Captain America/(COMPLETED)[1]

8/I'll see you as soon as I'm back

The sun had only just begun to shine yet all the avengers and Ella were up. No-one slept well the previous night and it had nothing to do with the late night movie watching. Each person was worrying about the article and whether people actually agreed with Mr Bates. Ella and the avengers had gathered in the meeting room in the tower and were now waiting for Fury's arrival to discuss the matter at hand yet Tony was less than pleased at the idea of letting the director of SHIELD into his home.

"It's like letting an outsider into a top super secret clubhouse. You just shouldn't do it!" He exclaimed from where he was sitting at the head of the table. The room was very vast, 3 of the four walls were made up of windows with a massive table in the centre of the room where all the avengers and Ella were currently sitting.

"Technically Ella is an outsider, you let her in. Pepper too." Clint reasoned

"They don't count they're family."

Steve and Ella shook their heads as the pair continued to talk about what features a super secret clubhouse should have. They were sat at the other end of the table. Bruce was reading that morning's newspaper hoping not to see another article like the one from yesterday. Natasha had elected to wait for Fury to arrive before escorting him into the meeting room.

They waited at least another 10 minutes before Fury walked into the room; he was wearing his SHIELD uniform, black coat and all with a briefcase in one hand.

"Avengers" He greeted curtly, ever the professional.

"Let's cut to the chase and you can explain what's going on here, Nick." Tony replied placing a hand on Fury's shoulder.

Fury glared at him menacingly before looking pointedly at the hand on his shoulder. Tony smiled sheepishly before removing it, "its Director Fury to you Stark. She is not an avenger and doesn't have clearance to be present during this meeting." He finished pointing at Ella.

"Ella is Tony's sister and a part of this too." Steve replied with authority.

"He's right. Ella lives here too so she deserves to know if this is anything to worry about." Natasha added. Ella stared at her in shock as to why the red head was defending her presence in the group.

"Besides I will only tell her later anyway, Pepper too." Tony cut in.

"Fine but Miss Stark is your responsibility." Fury relented. The avengers nodded in agreement.

"First off I feel I should inform you that Mr Bates has been on SHIELD's radar since the battle of New York. He is a main supporter of a group of hero haters." Fury started

"Hero haters?" Bruce asked

"It's no surprise. The world has changed, we can't cover thing up the way we use to, especially not since Stark declared himself as Iron Man." Fury explained

"Hey! I saved people, they wanted to thank me." Tony defended

"You gave them a target. You gave heroes a face and therefore gave people someone to hate. You are all people with remarkable abilities, not everyone is okay with that."

"So you're saying there are people out there who would prefer it if we didn't help protect them?" Steve asked

"I'm saying the world needs you, whether people see that or not. Most do, however a small group of individuals don't see things that way. These hero haters are worried about what would happen should your abilities end up in the wrong hands. "

"But the avengers are heroes. New York wouldn't even exist right now if it wasn't for them!" Ella cut in

"I completely agree Miss Stark but not everyone does." Fury replied.
