NEW YORK City AT NIGHT
Agent Phil Coulson finally arrived at Stark's new tower in New York City. However, he currently ran into a bit of a hurdle with Stark AI assistant Jarvis who refused to let him inside the top floor.
" Can you just tell Stark that this is a matter of national security? " Looking at the persistent AI refused to let him inside. Coulson finally had enough of Stark refusal to meet him.
" I'm sorry, Agent Coulson however Mister Stark and Potts. As Master Stark, describes it is having a moment. " At this point, Coulson decided to take drastic measures. Taking out his phone he made a call to Shield's technical department.
" Yes, this is Agent Phil Coulson, #00678 in need of urgent technical support. I need assistance with a code 33 T Stark." A few operations with the terminal next to the door were part of Jarvis.
Meanwhile, inside the top floor room, Jarvis came into Stark ear. "Sir, the telephone. I'm afraid my protocols are being overwritten." As soon as Jarvis's voice faded. The door to the top floor finally opened, revealing Coulson.
" Security breach," Tony exclaimed, his arms wide, in surprise. "That's on you." Pepper pointed out, as Tony looked at her, as she hurriedly stood up from the sofa.
"Mr. Stark. We need you to look this over. (Coulson holds out a file towards STARK) "As soon as possible."
" Yeah, I don't like being handed things." Looking at the file, not wanting to take it, before Pepper stepped in.
"That's alright, `cause I love to be handed things. So, let's trade." She passes her glass of champagne to Coulson and takes the file from him, then takes her champagne glass back from Coulson and passes the file over to Stark.
"Is this about The Avengers? Which I...I know nothing about." Pepper denied knowing about it, even though she just bloated the name out, in front of Coulson.
Who at this moment, wasn't too concerned about, her knowing? "The Avengers Initiative was scrapped, I thought. And I didn't even qualify." Stark pointed, out as he walked towards a table.
"This isn't about personality profiles anymore," Coulson explained, seriously.
"Whatever," Tony responds with indifference, to Coulson's words.
"Miss Potts, got a minute?" Tony called Pepper to his side, as he typed away on the computer.
"What is all of this?" Pepper asked, looking at Tony, who then proceeded to spread his hands. "This is, "
Tony expands his arms and different profiles appear in holographic form floating in the air in front of Tony and Pepper.
"This." Said Pepper screens appear of Captain America in action, the Hulk Roaring as he attacks the army at Culver University, and Thor fighting the Destroyer Armor.
Another screen shows a Ben in XRL8 form saving civilians from a burning building. Moving at incredible speeds, appearing as a blur of black and white.
The Omnitrix symbol on his chest. (Insert Ben10,000's XRL8 appearance here). Along with other alien forms such as Diamondhead, Swampfire, Brainstorm, Jetray, and Ripejaws. All doing heroic deeds.
" Wow, you have a lot of work," Pepper said, without thought, as Tony and Pepper looked on in awe.
Pepper turned to leave after some back and forth with Agent Coulson, leaving Tony alone as he grabbed the Tesseract in hologram form, with a worried look across his face.
Meanwhile Back With Ben/Hill
Inside Ben's secret room, Ben looked over video footage of Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor. As well as himself, in several alien forms.
On holographic screens, Hill on the other hand is more surprised by Tennyson, using similar holographic image projection as Tony Starks.
Tennyson Industries is quickly becoming a big player in the tech industry in the last two years. But, she, however, never expected that Ben's technological ability could compare to someone like Stark.
Grabbing the hologram image projection of the Tesseract looking at it quietly. Some shrouds of data appeared around the Tesseract projection. This was the information already present on the tablet Hill gave him.
" So, what exactly has Shield been doing with this thing? " I asked, turning to look at Hill who was busy staring at my tactical combat suit. Turning around, to look at me, with clear blue eyes.
" All you need to know is, that this cube, labeled as the Tesseract holds the key, to unlimited sustainable energy." Hill finally began to explain to me more clearly.
"Shield has been trying to find a way to harness that ability, for the benefit of the world. "
"Right..." I replied, with a huff, clearly I didn't believe, a government organization like Shield didn't have other things in mind.
" Okey, look right now there's a man who's looking to start a war. So, are you going to help or not?" Hill's tone, suddenly became defensive, seemingly wanting to end our whole back and forth.
Hill thought she would rather take, Ben in for question than leave the world's fate to individuals like him.
" Wow, calm down, No need to get riled up. I'm in for whatever comes. " Look at his expression I now realize that, Shield is at a difficult point currently. Losing something that can potentially destroy the world, isn't a situation to be wasting time.
So he could only say this, I didn't think Shield would start recruiting Avengers if they weren't desperate. That is especially want for me, my origins were questionable at best, add that to his abilities anyone can see the stakes at hand.
Well, I still have to worry about potentially being captured and interrogated in the process.
Hill, on the other hand, was a little surprised at how easily he agreed, even though he seemed suspicious about, their true purpose with the Tesseract. He hasn't yet shown any signs, that he had ulterior motives.
From their nearly three years of observation of, his company and nightlife antics. He didn't seem to be doing anything suspicious from what they uncovered.
" Olivia, make the necessary arrangements, to handle things while I'm away. " I spoke, to no one in particular, until a female southern-sounding robotic voice sounded in the room.
" Will do Master Tennyson. However, I do suggest you speak to Miss Green before you take your leave. " Hearing the robotic female voice Hill, tilted her head in surprise, as she stared at the monitor screen.
That now showed an Omnitrix symbol that represented Olivia's digital form. Shield didn't have any intel on Ben Tennyson not just possessing holographic technology, but also artificial intelligence. Similar to Starks.
At Hill's questioning gaze, Ben simply gives a cheeky smile, at her question gaze. "We leave in 8 hours be ready, by then."
Hill said as she turned around to leave the secret room. "I'll send you the pickup location, so don't be late."
She added, before finally exiting the room, she tapped a button on her bracelet once a, causing all the team of Shield agents to begin to disperse the area all around the penthouse sweet.
Back in the secret room, inside Ben's penthouse looking at the monitor that now showed around 50 red dots, begin to leave the area. Some are directly inside the building itself, including Hill's which is represented with a blue color.
" Sir, is it wise to follow, the commands of a potential hostile force?" Olivia asked, in her thick southern accent. "Maybe, but if Shield is facing such a crisis. I should step in on matter the circumstances surrounding it."
" Should I try hacking into Shield information database to confirm? Their claims. " Hearing Olivia's words I couldn't help but, chuckle at them.
"Are you saying you can't tell if the footage is fake or not? " I question with a teasing tone, looking at the monitor screen in front of me.
"..."
" Well, if you want to make sure that what, Agent Hill just informed me is true. Use this energy reading, to find the base where the Tesseract was stolen from. To confirm the story." I finally said, while looking at the area Agent Hill, had been roaming around my secret room.
No, doubt she likely had secretly placed spying tools around the room. Black Widow had done the same thing previously, before however, I had removed most of them leaving only a few.
However, now a few were likely in my secret room. But, it doesn't matter to me that much, as this room no longer held the same amount of importance as it used to.
Right now most of my important information is mainly on my left wrist and in another secret location. I decided to go to bed, after giving Olivia a few tasks to get some rest.
Meanwhile, Hill finally reached the fourth-floor lobby. Had been listening to Ben's entire conversation with his A.I assistant. Already, understanding that her secret actions were likely known.
She had placed several bugs inside the secret room, as for hacking into his computer monitor. That is currently impossible, as learned from Black Widow last attempt.
Deciding to put this aside for the moment, she entered into an apartment. In the same hotel, to rest for the night..
Upon entering the apartment room she begins to take off her black fitting dress. As she did so, the second bedroom door opened.
Revealing a woman with dark brown hair, and eyes in casual clothes. " So, how did the meeting go with the target, ma'am? " Hill who at this point had taken off her high heels, and black dress.
Revealing black sexy lingerie, underneath the dress. " Actually..." Turning around to the female agent, sent to keep an eye on Tennyson by Shield. Hill currently has a few questions she needs to ask.
" How come we have no intel, on Benjamin Tennyson possessing holographic projection technology, or having an A.l assistant like Tony Stark? "
Hill turned to look, at Agent Mahalo, who had pointed to this assignment immediately after, graduating from the Shield Academy. "Uh, I believe my assignment is just to watch and observe the target when out on night patrol. " Mahalo explained quickly.
Hill, stared at the young agent who was only twenty-three, still pretty young. " Alright, at ease. I need you and Cole to be more attentive from here on out. Is that understood. "
" Yes, ma'am." Mahoney stood up straight as she answered. Cole was another agent from the Shield Academy tech division. Assigned to work at Tennyson Industries, as a covert spy.
" Oh, and next time knock before, entering my room. " Hill said, finally before closing the door.
The next day Several hours later on a quinjet Ben and Hill set together as they flew over the specific ocean. Ben was now dressed in a leather green jacket with a number ten. A black t-shirt, black cargo pants with a dark green utility belt, and with dark brown pair of boots.
This wasn't his full custom-made battle suit but was just his casual clothing. With the utility belt acted as an extra precaution. While his actual battle suit was in an iron-cased briefcase he brought along with him.
Hill seat at a console terminal as two other, Shield agents piloted the quinjet. Meanwhile, in an unknown hidden bunker, armed men along with scientists began building another C.M.S machine.
As Loki set watching, the whole process as suddenly his scepter glowed brightly until he suddenly found himself in space. On a large asteroid, The Other stood at a distance.
"The Chitauri grow restless.." He suddenly spoke in his creepy voice.
" Let them guide themselves. I will lead them into glorious battle." Loki replied, as a golden armor with a helmet with a pair of horns appeared over him.
" Battle!? Against the mega might of earth." The Other, asked with clear disdain.
"If you're force is as formidable as you claim..."
" You question us !?... " The Other, yelled loudly silently to Loki as he turned to stare at Loki. " You question him... The one who put the scepter in you're hand. He who gave you a new purpose when you were cast out. When you were defeated.
" Asked The Other as he stared at Loki, who now had a hard expression on his face, however, Loki finally spoke at this moment.
"I was a king rightful king of Asgard!... Betrayed. " Loki responded in a commanding tone, as he was reminded of his past failure.
" You're your ambition means little. Full of childish need." The Other pointed out before continuing, circling Loki, he continued " We look beyond the Earth. A vast universe that the tesseract will unveil."
" You don't have the Tesseract yet. " Loki commented, and like a ghost. The Other hand reached for Loki face. Just stopping centimeters away from Loki's face.
Loki began to speak as he looked at The Other outstretched hand with no fear. " I don't threaten but, until I open the gates your force is mine to command. You have any words? " Loki asked, a grinning smirk flash across his face.
However, before, The Other could speak, a green energy suddenly appeared in Loki's left hand creating a green glow, that enveloped him. Before he suddenly vanished from the place he was standing.
Leaving The Other, standing there now alone, but instead of having a displeased expression a creepy smile appeared on his face again. " Oh, Asgard Ian prince, you can have your world for now. " He said in a cold whisper to himself.
Loki's consciousness returned to earth. His expression chilling, however internally he subconsciously knew something was wrong with him. However, he couldn't figure out what it was exactly.
Meanwhile, the s scepter still had a bright glow safely, Loki being unaware of its influence on himself.
"You will pay for that just you wait." Loki finally said under his breath, deciding to disregard that feeling just now. Not knowing the sceptre is subconsciously controlling his own thoughts.
PACIFIC OCEAN BEN/HILL
After several minutes of flying in the quinjet, Ben finally got a glimpse of the carrier, getting closer. Now standing near the flight deck of the quinjet as two pilots flew the jet to the base.
"Tennyson, Director Fury, wants to have a private word with you in his office. Once we finish landing. " Hill said, from her console terminal set on the side.
As she turned to look at Ben, who seemed to slightly flinched at her words. " Uh, why me?" I asked, in surprise as he turned to look at Hill.
Hearing Ben's answers, Hill took off the headset she had been wearing and turned her focus to Ben. Who now stood, near the flight deck she then put aside her headset and left her console terminal.
" He just wants to have a word with you? Are you scared?" Questioned Hill, walking closer to Ben. The distance between them now is only a few meters.
"Firstly, I'm not scared of anyone. And secondly, you're a little too close for comfort." Ben spoke, as a matter of factly, however internally his a little nervous at Hill's closeness.
" Are you a virgin?" Hill questioned, as at Ben with her clear blue eyes. Ben eyes wided at these words, wondering what brought this question on.
" That's a strange question to ask, someone you only met a few hours ago. " Ben decided to point out, as he had a moment of deja vu, at this situation.
" Hmmm... you're right, sorry I'm just asking that all. " Hill said, before turning around already knowing the answer to her question. With an amused expression on her face.
A moment later the quinjet landed safely on the helicarrier. As Ben and Maria Hill finally got off the jet.To a bustling scene of crew members working on the deck of the Shield helicarrier. Ben felt like he had just entered into the military unknowingly.
" I thought Shield was a convert operation department?" Ben couldn't help but, ask as he turned to look at Hill. " Oh, and what do you think a covert operation department looks like? " Hill shot back, at Ben as the two walked side by side.
" Well... hmm. I have no idea." Ben decided to answer honestly. Hill just shook her head at, this she honestly felt
" Seems like the rest of the teams have also arrived. " Hill said, looking at Captain America and Phil Coulson coming off another quinjet.
As for the reason they hadn't border the same quinjet. It's simply because Ben had to arrange a lot of things, for the company.
As he simply couldn't leave without, any warning. Even if he wasn't the acting CEO of his company it still heavily relied on his guidance.
Ben decided to go meet with Steve Rogers, who resembles Chris Evans. Hill on the other hand didn't stop him and just watched Ben leave to meet the legendary Captain.
Before turning back, to report to Fury. Meanwhile, while Ben moved to meet Steve, another figure with short red hair came into his line of sight.
Natasha Romanoff walked towards the quinjet as the other came off.
Agent Romanoff (POV)
" Agent Romanoff. Captain Rogers. " Introduced Coulson as the three stopped to meet.
" Ma'am. " Steve greeted, in an old-fashioned manner. "Hey," Natasha responded simply, before turning her attention to Coulson standing next to Steve.
" They need you on the bridge, they starting with the phase trace. " Natasha informed, " Alright, see you there," Coulson said before leaving the two.
" There was a lot of baze here when they fished you out of the ice." Natasha began to explain to Steve, and the two began to work as they spoke.
Meanwhile, Ben and Coulson passed by each other, both giving the other interested glances. 'Whose this guy', I wondered to myself if this is someone important to able to escort someone like Captain America.
While Coulson gives Ben, a knowing nod which he reciprocates with a nod of his own. As the two passed each other, meanwhile at some point the two stopped and met up with Bruce Banner.
Starting a conversation between the three, at this time, I finally managed to reach the three, after a few minutes.
" Ah... Miss Jackson, I see you've moved up in the world." I said, with a smile to Natasha who turned to look at me before a smile appeared on her face as well.
"What can I say, I'm in demand. Any it's good to see you again, boss. I hope there are no hard feelings. " Natasha replied, simply acknowledging their brief pass.
" None at all, I'm not you anymore. However, you might need to apologize to Angelina, for just up and leaving like that. " I said, honestly.
Looking closely at Ben, Natasha also realized he'd gotten a little taller since the last time they met. A clear sign that, his age was true this year being.
Ever since Shield figured out he was the one who had been fighting crime and saving people, in different forms. Natasha was sent to spy on him only to be discovered, after failing to hack into his computer system.
Which wasn't her fault, if she had to be honest. His security system network was just too tricky to break into.
" Looks like the two of already met. " Steve said, as he and Banner listened to the two, interact. " Something like that, and let me introduce the two Ben Tennyson. Steve Rogers and Doctor Bruce Banner."
" Nice to meet the two. " Shaking Steve's hand, I felt his strong grip, as we shook hands. "Likewise."
"Doctor, I hope you don't turn into a green giant and step on me," I said, however, I felt Bruce's hand, tremble slightly at my comments. " Well, I certainly hope doesn't happen. " Bruce said, with a noticeable forced smile.
Which we all notice, Ugh now I kinda feel bad about my joke. " Ah, right. " I said after, an awkward moment of silence.
" You gentlemen might want to step inside, in a minute. It's gonna get a little hard to breathe." Thankfully, Natasha spoke at this time, suddenly the Helicarrier Intercom sounded." FLIGHT CREW, SECURE THE DECK"
As whirring and clunking began to sound in the air. "Is this a submarine? Steve asked, " Really they want me in a submerged, pressurized container." Bruce said in reply, as the three of us began to move to the closer edge of the carrier.
As the three of us looked over the edge we noticed the ocean water being wave violation as we felt the helicarrier begin to rise into the air.
Minutes later Natasha led the three of us inside the bridge of the helicarrier, to a bustling scene. I noticed quickly Agent Hill standing at her point with a see-through monitor screen.
" We at levels, sir. " Hill informed, " Good, let's vanish." Hearing the familiar voice, I turned to look to my right, only to see the Samuel Mothe L Jackson standing in the command center.
