Marvel's The Avengers (Book 5)

Chapter 3 ✅➕??➖

Night:
SHIELD Analytical Room

Fury standing in the middle of a dark room, facing several large monitors as he is in a conference with the world security council, not seeing their faces, just their figures.

World Security Councilman #1 tells him, "This is out of line, Director. You're dealing with forces you can't control."

Fury stands respectively with his hands behind his back, questions them, "You ever been in a war, Councilman? In a firefight? Did you feel an over abundance of control?"

World Security Councilman #1 asks, "You're saying that this Asgard is declaring war on our planet?"

Fury corrects him, "Not Asgard. Loki."

World Security Councilwoman #2 claims, "He can't be working alone. What about the other one? His brother."

Fury answers, "Our intelligence says, Thor is not a hostile but he's worlds away. We can't depend on him to help either. It's up to us."

World Security Councilman #1 tells him, "Which is why you should be focusing on phase 2. It was designed for exactly this-"

Fury interrupts him, "Phase 2 isn't ready. Our enemy is. We need a response team."

World Security Councilman #1 tells him, "The Avengers Initiative was shut down."

Fury denies him, "This isn't about The Avengers."

World Security Councilman #3 tells him, "We've seen the list."

World Security Councilman #1 continues to deny him, "You're running the world's greatest covert security network and you're gonna leave the fate of human race to a handful of freaks."

Fury looks at him blankly for a second before continuing his own plea, "I'm not leaving anything to anyone. We need a response team. These people may be isolated, unbalanced even, but I believe with the right push they can be exactly what we need."

World Security Councilwoman #2 questions him, "You believe?"

World Security Councilman #1 tells him emotionlessly, "War isn't won by sentiment, Director."

Fury corrects, "No, it's won by soldiers."
