Calling All Avengers

Finally, after many episodes, The Union Fury and The Avengers will meet face to face, but not how they expected it to be...

## Plot

### The Triskelion, Washington, D.C.

On March 1, Nick Fury returns to the Triskelion and enters the Computer Room, where he is met with Agent Klein and Maria Hill. Fury mentions that he has been ordered by the President to send the Avengers after the Union Fury. Maria mentions that the Avengers are currently on a mission to arrest the Masters of Evil in Prague. Fury tells them to at least give them a heads up to head to London after Prague. Maria mentions that they should contact J.A.R.V.I.S. Nick Fury does so, and J.A.R.V.I.S. thanks Nick Fury, before contacting Iron Man in Prague. In Prague, Czechia, Iron Man thanks J.A.R.V.I.S., before being blasted by Klaw. Wonder Man continues to fight The Hulk; Hawkeye launches some arrows at Crossbones; Black Widow duels with Taskmaster; Thor sends Grim Reaper flying with Mjolnir; And both Ant-Man and The Wasp struggle to fight Crimson Cowl;

Hulk sends Wonder Man flying into Klaw, allowing time for Iron Man to shoot and kill Grim Reaper. Thor then turns his attention to Crossbones and electrocutes him, incapacitating him. Far away, Helmut Zemo watches, before informing his father that the Masters of Evil are doing their purpose, and Heinrich hopes that everything is worth it. Crimson Cowl attempts to flee, only to be shot in the back by Wasp and injured. Taskmaster is then shot by Hawkeye and killed. Ant Man becomes Giant Man and corners Wonder Man and Klaw. Giant Man orders both to surrender, and both do so. Giant Man thanks both for complying, and Wasp places them in cuffs. Iron Man congratulates the team, and mentions that they should drop the Masters of Evil off in Paris.

Thor asks if they have anything else to do, and Iron Man mentions that they are given orders from the President himself. Black Widow asks what the mission is, and Iron Man mentions that the Union Fury has attacked the United States Pentagon. Hawkeye mentions that they messed with the wrong nation, and Iron Man mentions that he regrets ever deciding to help them on their first mission. Thor mentions that everyone makes mistakes, before mentioning that he, Hakweye, and Black Widow will take the Masters of Evil to Paris, while Iron Man, Hulk, Pym, and Wasp head to London. Wasp mentions that she always wanted to visit London, and Iron Man mentions that they have a plan then, before flying off to London. Ant Man mentions that he has a bad feeling about heading to London.

### Union Fury Base, London

Helmut Zemo walks away, as he contacts his sister, who mentions that she planted the final beacon in Antarctica, and Helmut mentions that Captain America and Falcon won't be able to come to their teams' aid in London. Helmut mentions that Captain America thinks he's searching for the Winter Soldier, but he's just on a wild goose chase. Helmut then gets on a motorcycle and races away. Meanwhile, the Union Fury Quinjet lands in their base, and they are approached by Mortimer. Mortimer tells Zeke that he shouldn't dive in to what he has done, and Zeke asks how he knows. Mortimer mentions that the AI reports to Mortimer, and Zeke apologizes, before mentioning that Aerobolt turned against them during the mission. Mortimer mentions that he'll take care of it, before having Captain Britain take Aerobolt to a special room in the Base.

Hilde asks what will happen, and Mortimer mentions that Amadeus Cho has built a special machine to place a programmable amnesia on their agents. Hilde mentions that they should be careful to trust their allies, and Fan mentions that she can here them. Mortimer then asks for the File, and Zeke hands him the envelope. Mortimer thanks Zeke, before Iron Man arrives. Iron Man mentions that they should really think before they act, and Zeke tells Mortimer to get out of there. Iron Man mentions that he should really stay, as he was sent to recollect something that was stolen. Zeke mentions that the file belonged to Mortimer, so they returned property. Iron Man mentions that he hardly believes it, before Hulk arrives.

Zeke mentions that they only raided the Pentagon, but it would be a more severe act if they were to harm the Political Leader of a Nation, and Iron Man agrees to let Mortimer go, and whoever wins will get the file. Mortimer then leaves, as he orders the Union Fury to get ready for a fight. Mortimer gets in a limo and drives away. Killpower gets out and recognized the Hulk, who tackles him. Zeke orders the Union Fury to attack Iron Man, before Zeke is sent flying by Mjolnir. Thor, Black Widow, & Hawkeye arrive, and begin to battle the Union Fury. Zanshi throws her shield at Thor and uses her sword to defend herself from Mjolnir. The Commando begins shooting at Black Widow, who dodges each bullet. Zeke then uses his gun to fight off Iron Man, who chases after him.

### Hunters

Killpower grabs his gun and shoots The Hulk with it, getting him more mad. Hawkeye begins shooting at Zeke, only to have his arrows be deflected by Bullet Man. Arthur then begins to fight Black Widow, only to be knocked out once again. Zeke asks Iron Man where Captain America is, and Iron Man mentions that he's hunting the Winter Soldier. In New Zealand, Captain America and Falcon fly through a Jungle, and Steve mentions that he believes that they're walking into a trap. Falcon agrees, as they've been chasing the Winter Soldier from Kenya, to Chile, to Mongolia, to Canada, to Portugal, then now to New Zealand. Steve mentions that he remembers the trick, but it usually does lead to a source when they catch up. Steve and Falcon then land, and Steve approaches a box.

He places his shield under his box and opens it. A timer counts down from 5, and Cap covers everything with his shield. Sparks fly up and Falcon mentions that the sparks suggest heading to Antarctica. Steve mentions that Falcon might have to do this one alone, as the ice is what caused him to miss the outcome of World War II. Falcon reminds him that it was the Red Skull and Baron Zemo, and Steve mentions that he doesn't like how Zemo is still in power over Sokovia. Falcon then asks Steve why he wants to find the Winter Soldier, and Steve mentions that he believes that it's an old friend that he thought died the day he went into the ice. Steve then climbs aboard his Motorcycle and flies off to Antarctica.

Back in London, Captain Legion continues to fight Iron Man, and eventually catapults him out of the base. Hulk then sends Killpower flying into a convenient store and jumps after him. Thor tells Zanshi that she is no match for an Asgardian, and Zanshi mentions that she knows of his Legend, and trips and pins him. The Commando then tosses a grenade at Black Widow, who tosses it back. Hilde then jumps out of the way, and the grenade causes a fuel tank to explode. Hilde then grabs a pair of batons out of her bag and charges Black Widow. Iron man manages to grab Zeke and smashes him on a car. Zeke mentions that he'll never make it to Mortimer, and Iron Man mentions that he has a couple of friends going after him. Zeke chuckles, and mentions that he has an ally guarding Mortimer.

### Diversion

On the Highway, Mortimer mentions that his secret is safe now, and both Ant Man and Wasp approach his limo. As Ant Man prepares to jump in, he is punched in the face by Shrink. Shrink then shoots Wasp, cuasing her to fall onto the Highway. Eric mentions that they'll have to get through him first. As both are completely missed by legions of passing cars, Shrink continues to punch Ant-Man. Wasp attempts to shoot Shrink, but Shrink uses Ant-Man as a human shield against the blast, injuring Ant-Man. Wasp cradles Hank's injured body, and Shrink knocks Wasp out. Shrink then drags both bodies off to the side. He returns all to normal size, and takes off his helmet, revealing him to be Hank's old associate, Eric O'Grady. Eric tells Hank that he should've been more nice.

Eric then contacts Zeke and mentions that Ant Man and The Wasp are neutralized. Zeke thanks Eric, before being slammed on another car by Iron Man. Meanwhile, Hawkeye continues to fire Bullet Man, and is eventually sent flying by him. Captain Britain finishes the amnesia process on Aerobolt, who asks what happened. Captain Britain mentions that he was injured during his mission in Turkmenistan, and Aerobolt asks what's going on. Britain mentions that the Union Fury is being attacked by The Avengers, who've gone rogue. Aerobolt asks if Hawkeye is with them, before mentioning that Hawkeye owes him a little rematch. Aerobolt then grabs his equipment, before leaving the room. In London, Killpower manages to stab Hulk in the leg, angering him even more.

Iron Man approaches Zeke and mentions that he was wrong to help him with Afghanistan, and Zeke mentions that he did a good thing, before Iron Man is blasted by Captain Britain. Iron Man asks J.A.R.V.I.S. to send in the Iron Legion, to which Zeke mentions that the AI cannot answer him at the moment, as the UK's AI system is blocking all feed belonging to The Avengers. Iron Man attempts to contact Ant Man, but is left with static. Hawkeye shoots an arrow towards Zanshi, only for it to be deflected by Aerobolt, who calls Hawkeye out. Hawkeye fails to recognize Aerobolt, which angers him more. Aerobolt mentions that he owes him a rematch for the brawl back in Baton Rouge.

### Baton Rouge, 2018

In a bar in Baton Rouge, Hawkeye tells the patrons that working with The Avengers has been a real treat, and Aerobolt asks him if he could tell a tale. Hawkeye mentions that he doesn't, but his friend Thor does. Dick then asks Clint if he could become an Avenger one day, and Clint asks to show him what he's got. Dick and Clint then begin to fight each other, and Clint eventually wins. Clint tells Dick that with enough practice, he could become one one day. Clint then resumes drinking. Back in London, Clint remembers, and tells Dick to give it all he's got. Both Aerobolt and Hawkeye begin to fight with each other. Bullet Man then races down the street, and slams his fist on The Hulk. The Hulk grows angry and manages to grab Bullet Man. He then slams Bullet Man into a building, rendering him unconscious.

Meanwhile, a mysterious figure watches them from the top of a building, before contacting Baron Zemo and mentioning that he found a candidate, as he watches Black Widow and Hilde fight. Hawkeye asks Aerobolt why he joined the Union Fury, and Aerobolt mentions that he tried to sign up for the Avengers last year, but was rejected. He then goes on to mention that he enlisted in G.I. Joe, and was eventually recruited by Captain Legion. Hawkeye apologizes, before Aerobolt gets a cheapshot on Hawkeye. Hilde is in injured by Black Widow, and she injures her back when she tries to leave to help Iron Man. Thor manages to knock out Zanshi and mentions that she should never doubt his abilities.

Captain Britain is eventually knocked out by The Hulk, as Iron Man tries to pound down on Captain Legion. Zeke uses his sword to split Iron Man's arm in half. Hulk tries to smash Zeke, but Zeke dodges. Iron Man is knocked out, and Hulk apologizes. Hulk then chases after Zeke, who leads him to Thor. Zeke ducks, and Hulk punches Thor, who grows angry. Thor begins to fight Hulk, while Aerobolt manages to knock out Hawkeye. Aerobolt thin spits on Hawkeye, before being knocked out by the figure. The figure then grabs one of Hawkeye's arrows, and leaves. The figure then approach Hilde and Black Widow, and uses the arrow to knock both women out. He stares at both bodies, and grab Hilde's unconscious body.

Somewhere above the Indian Ocean, Steve tells Falcon that he hopes that the others are doing well in Prague, and Falcon mentions that he received a message from Iron Man, mentioning that they are in London, avenging an attack on the U.S. Pentagon. Steve mentions that they place too much power in the wrong places, before being shot out of the sky by Heike Zemo. Steve falls into the Ocean, as Falcon engages Heike. Heike mentions that both of them shouldn't have been able to reach New Zealand yet, and Falcon tells her that she would have to try harder to fool them. Heike mentions that if they want the information they want, they will have to ply it from her cold inanimate hands. Falcon tells her to bring it.

In London, Shrink manages to ensure that Mortimer returns safely to 10 Downing Street, right before he is attacked by Ant Man. Ant Man mentions that he shouldn't of let him go free, and Shrink mentions that he only did it to try and make him see the errors of his ways, and Ant Man mentions that he sees them, but chooses to not acknowledge them. Shrink tells Ant Man that The Union Fury didn't attack the President, and what the Avengers doing will be seen as something worse. Ant Man agrees, and tells Shrink to meet him in the nearby park. Meanwhile, as Killpower gets up from some rubble, as Zeke approaches Iron Man and rips his helmet off. Zeke tells Iron Man to get up, and Iron Man wakes up.

Iron Man asks Zeke why he always acts like Mortimer's bitch, and Zeke mentions that he's his leader, and has some dirt that would warrant his arrest if he rebelled against him. Iron Man mentions that the file has some dirt on Mortimer, that could benefit the United Kingdom, and Zeke asks Iron Man to prove it. Arthur manages to get up and walk towards the Union Fury and Avengers. Wasp returns and demands Zeke to let Iron Man go. Zeke holds his sword up to Tony's neck and threatens to kill him if they don't stand down. Wasp tells Zeke to stop the madness, and Zeke mentions that he was only following orders, and Wasp mentions that they are too. Zeke mentions that The Avengers haven't been the same team since the Battle against Eson the Searcher.

Iron Man and Wasp begin to think, and Tony orders all avengers to stand down. Wasp asks if he's serious, and Iron Man confirms it. Wasp stands down, and mentions that they should leave, before they get into any deeper trouble. Iron man agrees, and attempts to call all Avengers. In a park, Shrink and Ant Man run at each other. Shrink os slammed on a rock, and tells Ant Man that he'll pay. Ant Man then grows to normal size, and is punched by Shrink. Shrink returns to normal and is punched by Ant Man. Ant Man receives Iron Man's call and decides to flee. Shrink asks where he's going, and Ant Man mentions that the Avengers lost. Shrink smirks, before letting Ant Man leave. Thor arrives and mentions that if they leave, it'll bring shame upon The Avengers organization. Iron Man tells Thor that they'll see the United Kingdom fall to their own stupidity.

The Avengers return to their Quinjet and the Quintet flies away. Zeke then looks around and asks what became of Hilde, and Shrink returns, with Arthur and Killpower mistaking him for Ant Man. Zeke mentions that Shirnk is their new agent, and Shrink apologizes for being late. Shrink then mentions that while the Union Fury had been busy with their missions, he discovered a cloth with the symbol of HYDRA on it. Zeke wonder what it could mean, and Shrink mentions that he's heard stories that after World War II ended, HYDRA had remained. Zeke tells Shrink to report it to Mortimer, before he orders the Union Fury to return to Base and clean up the mess. Meanwhile in the Indian Ocean, Falcon beats Heike and demands to know why she's planting beacons all over the globe.

Heike mentions that she was doing it under orders from her father. As Steve emerges from the ocean and climbs onto Heike's ship, Falcon asks why Baron Zemo is doing so, and Heike mentions that it's to throw the Avengers off of their focus on finding out their plans. Falcon tells Steve that they should head to London immediately, and Heike gives them luck, before activating a bomb, blowing the ship up. Meanwhile in Castle Zemo, the Winter Soldier brings an unconscious Hilde to Baron Zemo, and Red Skull. Zemo tells the Winter Soldier well done for completing his mission. The Winter Soldier thanks his superiors. Arnim Zola approaches both HYDRA leaders and asks what the next phase of their plan is.

Baron Zemo hands Hilde over to Arnim Zola, and mentions that it's time to remove his mask...
