The stomps could be heard from across the ship as Fury made his way into the lab where both Tony Stark and Bruce Banner were working. You could literally see the vein pulsing through his forehead when Fury ran up to the billionaire, "What are you doing Mr. Stark?"

A laugh escaped the man who was getting yelled at, to the point it was frightening, as he looked back at the director, "Uh... I kinda been wondering the same thing about you" he looked at man directly in the eyepatch.

"You're supposed to be locating the Tesseract"

"We are, the model's locked and we're sweeping for the signature now. When we got a hit, we'll have the location within half an hour" Bruce explained, trying to defuse the situation, even though after Stark began to grumble about what he just found on the locked file he found.

"And then you'll have both the clone and the cube," Tony rolled his eyes. "What's phase two?" He asked as if he didn't know.

A slam hit the table behind them and they all turned to see an older looking weapon with the Hydra logo on the side, "Phase two is Shield using the cube to make weapons," Steve scoffed before turning to Tony. "Sorry the computer was moving a little slow for me"

Fury began to try and explain himself, "Rogers, we gathered everything related to the Tesseract. This doesn't mean that we're-"

"I'm sorry Nick," Tony cut him off before showing the class the monitor containing blueprints on many different Tesseract powered weapons. "What were you lying?"

Steve sighed shaking his head, "I was wrong, director. The world hasn't changed a bit"

"Oh that's not the worse part Captain!" Tony put his finger up before swiping the screen to show a bunch of sketches of a certain female super soldier tricked out in the weapons, "So that's why she's so important to Shield, huh?" He asked the spy, "You told me that I couldn't have full custody of Diana because she needed to learn how to use her powers, but instead you're gonna doll up that little clone to become your personal war machine, am I right or am I right?"

Steve snapped his head back over to the director, "You're gonna do what to my little girl?"

Natasha and Thor then walked in after receiving a Code Jelly signal from Bruce. Bruce didn't know whether or not a fight would ensue but, after seeing the sketches of an older Diana with Tesseract powered weapons, the Doctor knew he needed to be prepared.

Steve then turned to Natasha and didn't lose his glare, "Did you know about this?"

"Know about what?" She raised a brow.

"Oh you know," Tony turned the screen to face her better. "The fact that a child is the face of phase two"

Natasha's eyes glanced over the screen briefly before freezing. A child soldier. She was training someone to become everything she never wanted her to be.

The women then began to lose her cool snapping her head to Fury, "I thought we made a deal to only teach her control. Low level missions until she has a choice"
