Agent Riptide ❌

1

The Avengers shifted in their seats as they sat in the meeting room. They were waiting for Tony and the agent that stood behind the annoyed Fury had barely blinked. Thor wasn't there but Steve and Natasha had both tried to talk to the young boy to no avail.

"The man of the hour has arrived," Tony struts in and takes a seat.

"Now that we're all here we can get started," Fury says with the clearing of his throat. "I'm adding a new member to your team," Fury states and varying reactions followed from excitement to annoyance.

"Who is it?" Steve cuts the others off.

"This," the boy steps forward, "is Riptide," Fury motions to the emotionless boy.

"What did you do to him? Our robot shows more emotion," Tony motions between Vision and the kid.

"Riptide wait outside," Fury orders and the agent walks out of the room, closing the door. "He is your mission."

"Our mission?" Bruce looks at the door.

"He has been having... trouble showing emotion or reaction other than following orders. He's our best agent but refuses to work with others," Fury says with mild irritation.

"What's his story?" Natasha asks and nods towards the door.

"We only know minor details that are classified. What we really want to know is his name," Fury explains. This catches everyone's attention.

"You don't know who he is? You know everything about everyone why not him?" Stark bursts out.

"He has an erased past that wasn't salvageable. We only know that he used to travel with others but everything else is unknown," Fury frowns further than normal.

"I believe I know who," Thor suddenly states. "I will have to go to Asgard to confirm," he says as he decides to go when the meeting is finished.

"Take him back to your base and see what you can do. If like to see the kid crack a smile if you can," Fury walks out of the room and Riptide moves to stand just inside the door with a blank expression that consealed that he was listening to their conversation.

"You are not of full human decent right mortal?" Thor questions from his seat.

"Classified," Riptide's face gave nothing away.

"Come and sit kid so we can get to know you," Steve pats the spot next to him and the teen hesitantly sits in the chair stiffly.

"I'm not at liberty to give away information," he states as the others though of what to ask.

"You were listening," Natasha narrowed her eyes

"It's my job to know things, like the prank war that Stark and Barton will be having after this" he scowled bit his eyes betrayed him with the amusement that danced in them. It was soon covered as Wanda turned to the two in question,

"When did this start. We said no prank wars for a reason," she scolded.

"Let's take this somewhere more comfortable so we don't interrogate the kid," Sam said as he got up and walked out the door. The others agreed and got up to go from the shield base they were in to the updated Avengers Base.

Thor going to Asgard to ask what happened to one Perceus Jackson.
