Thread: The Change of Heart(Avengers)Moon/Lady

Director Nick Fury was standing with his arms tightly crossed as Phil Coulson explained the situation to their newest operatives. It was a troubling issue, one that needed to be handled fast and permanently. Whether that meant turning the target to the 'light' side of life or killing him, that was up for grabs. This. Phil started, indicating a picture behind him. is Tony Stark. he spat the name as if it was poison and Fury had to grin. a few years ago, he was a good man. Bright, intelligent, womanizer to the extreme but he had stopped making weapons completely after suffering a mild meltdown after being tortured by Afghanistan soldiers known as the Ten Rings. he sighed and went on to explain how Howard Stark had been an abusive father, neglecting Tony and often locking the young boy in a closet or making him wield heavy machinery to 'assist' Howard. Then he went into how Obadiah stepped in as Tony's father figure only to betray him. He explained how Tony had been dying due to palladium poisoning and how Shield had saved him and helped him compose his new element for the arc reactor in his chest, explaining that it was about the only thing still keeping Tony alive at the moment because of the shrapnel in his heart. Phil explained how Pepper Potts had abandoned Tony after rescuing her while Hammer's stupid robots where exploding. that's when he just couldn't take anymore. Phil explained. he holed up in his tower for a full year. he admitted, changing the picture to show Stark Industries. every single person in that tower is completely loyal to Tony. Anyone we try to send in to either infiltrate or scratch him off get's caught. These Agents are either killed outright, or held hostage for exorbitant fees. Typically very rare Captain America stuff. Fury explained. which we usually get from Phil, which is why he's in such a strope. Fury explained with a grin before he sobered. Tony Stark came out in a big way. Once he returned to 'common life' he had already taken out any of the criminals that would stand in his way and controlled those that he didn't take out. Think of him as a mob boss, only less violent on the innocent folk. he admitted. even worse is that any weapon he builds, he shows off to the world and warns that if they fuck with him, he'll test it on them. Early may of this year, he proved he would follow up on that threat. He was attacked by a Ten Rings member. People we haven't been able to find after years of searching, and Tony Stark blew up all eleven of their bases, even more frightening, he did it in such a way that no kids where hurt. he admitted. Tony Stark never targets children and only targets women when he has to. Phil explained, showing them the gruesome scenes of what was left of the ten rings. he doesn't target people unless they target him first, or do certain crimes in his city. And yes, I do mean his city. He controls all of Manhattan with an iron fist. Ever house, every person is constantly monitored. Which, in the case of the dozens of people he's saved in the last twenty four hours, is a good thing. And the complete lack of crime is pretty damn good too, but he's maintaining that power through fear, violence, blackmail and bribery. he admitted. he's the King of Manhattan, literally. He literally bought Manhattan and turned it into it's own little country. No one enters and no one leaves without his permission. The problem is, he's spreading. He now owns most new york. He's bought the Bronx and has added it to his little kingdom, as well as the Queens. He controls most of Brooklyn, and is making inroads into Staten Island. Fury explained, showing them the map of New York's Boroughs. before long, he'll control all of New York and I don't doubt he'll start spreading outward. Fury admitted. and he's getting worse every day. His weapons are getting more gruesome and the agents we send in that die are killed more and more creatively. he's dangerous, and that's why we need you two to go in, and handle him. If you can get him to stop, good. Do so. If you can't? Then we have only one option. finally, the Agent, the most important tool in their arsenal spoke. we kill him then? If we can't control him? I don't understand what's so bad. He's killing criminals and helping the people he has in his... kingdom. he's controlling them. Not helping them. And it's only a matter of time before he starts attacking innocents. You've seen how power goes to people's heads Captain. Can you not deny that Tony Stark has a hell of a lot of power? Captain Rogers stayed silent. He did know what Power could do to a person. according to our last Intel, Tony Stark has two bodyguards. One is a man named Bruce Banner. An Astrophysicist who is a black belt in three different hand to hand combats. He also had an accident with Gamma radiation while trying to recreate the super Serum. His heart rate goes above a certain number, and he turns into the Hulk. Phil explained, bringing up pictures of both Bruce and the Hulk. the Second Bodyguard we know nothing about. All we know is he has a metal arm and answers to Soldier. the screen went blank and they turned tot he two agents. any questions?
