Plans unfolding
Steve arrived at the base Fury was hiding.
It was.....abandoned, like they were un a tunnel, there was no high tech, nothing.
"This is it ?" Clint asked.
"I thought you said SHIELD was being rebuilt." Natasha asked.
"It was, but then something forced us to stop."
"Stark ?" Clint growled.
"He had to do with it, but he was not the main reason."
Steve shock his head disappointedly, why is Tony going against his allies ?
"It was Coulson the one that stopped the rebuilding."
Everyone froze at that.
"But....Phil is dead." Clint said
"Not anymore, he was brought back using an experimental drug."
"But, he has always been loyal to SHIELD." Natasha said.
"He says he is loyal to the idea, and that SHIELD doesn't fit that criteria."
What ?
How can Coulson say that.
"At first, he started rebuilding SHIELD just like it was, then he met Daisy Johnson, the woman that made him change his way of thinking, the drugs we used had a effect that made him suffer. That, his relationship to Johnson, and other things made Phil desert from SHIELD, so when we fell after the Info Dump, he went on his own path, only taking some people with him, he ended all communication we had with him, and started making something new along side other high ranking SHIELD agents that weren't happy with how we ran things. Instead of coming to us, Coulson went to Stark, even though Stark was a pain for us, he and Coulson always got along. Coulson asked for his help to create his new organization, and from what I can tell, Stark liked his idea, and helped him along side Rhodes and Banner, before the Ultron thing. Coulson asked Stark to not tell anyone, so Johnson is the public head of the new organization called SWORD."
"They fully stand with the accords, and have branded the new SHIELD as terroritst." Hill said.
Steve can't believe this.
It seems this Daisy Johnson has brainwashed Coulson to go against them, Steve will have to save him.
"Do you have any idea what Tony is dong ?"
Fury sighted.
"All our efforts to contact Stark have failed, every hacking attempt is unsuccessful, is like the man is prepared."
"But, they say he got pardons, maybe they are for us ?"
"No, we manage to figure out who Stark got the pardons for, he is not hiding them."
He took out the pictures of two woman.
"Harleen Quinzel and Pamela Isley, one was presumed dead, the other was on parole."
"Pamela Isley, known by some as Poison Ivy, she has the ability to control plants, she was involved in an incident with Hammer Tech, didn't kill anyone, but caused massive property damage, she went to jail, got out on parole and was on house arrest until Stark got her a pardon." Hill said.
"The other, Harleen Quinzel, or as she is know now, Harley Quinn, she was a phycologist on the Arkam Asylum, when the Joker kidnapped her, the maniac went and made her his personal assistant, tortured the woman to compliance, after the Batman and the Joker died fighting, the rouge Amanda Waller, recently revealed to be Hydra, got her to an illegal prison, then Stark saved her. Both woman are under his protection, and have signed the accords, although Quinn is not active until she heals from what the Joker did to her."
"How do you know this ?" Sam asked.
"We have a man inside the council, he is telling us what he can.."
"Update boss, we HAD a man, he got found out and is now on prison."
"How the fuck did he got caught ?"
"Stark."
Everyone groaned at that, Tony better have good apologies for all of them.
Why would he pardon two woman he has no relationship with, one is psycho , the other is a criminal. Why them and not his family ?
"Why did he got them ?" Nat asked.
"No idea, in a statement he said he knew them from before, and wanted to help them. But that's it."
Then suddenly, everything became clear to Steve.
This women were brainwashing Tony, they were the ones that were stopping him from getting his family back.
He has to save it.
"We need to return, this is getting out of track."
"We might have a way to do that."
As Fury walked them to the control room, they talked.
"So, what is the plan Cap ?"
"We will see what Fury is telling us. Then we have to show the world how the accords are dangerous, after that, there are gonna be some changes, we will return to the Avengers, I will be back on command,those two woman that got Tony will go to an asylum and prison, where they need to be. Then things will return to normal, no accords, no criminal teammates, just like they were."
"You will punish Stark right ?" Wanda asked.
"He will have to face some consequences, but I think those women are to blame, we will free him."
"When we return, Tony will be so ashamed he will do whatever we want." Natasha said.
"He better talk to Laura." Clint grumbled.
"And get our tittles back." Sam said.
"And the compound better be just as we left it." Wanda added.
Steve smiled at them.
"Don't worry, we will return everything to normal."
Steve and the others met a man in a red cape.
"This is Quentin Beck. He is a hero named Mysterio and like us, doesn't like the accords." Fury presented.
"Cap, such an honor to meet you." Beck said.
Steve immediately knew he was a trustworthy man, and will fit perfectly on the Avengers, unlike those women.
"Mr. Beck."
"Beck here has seen a threat, but the Accords council refuses to take him serious."
Steve shook his head, this is why the accords need to go.
"Stupid paper pushers, right Cap ?"
"This guy gets it, much better than Stark if you ask me." Sam said.
Steve knows Tony is just being manipulated, he will see the truth soon.
"So what is the threat ?" Nat asked.
"There is this fire monster coming from the Earth's core, I have prepared myself to stop it, but everyone calls me crazy, no matter the proofs."
He shows them, lava coming up from inside the Earth. It was clear to Steve he was right.
"The plan is, you help Beck stop this monster, then the world realizes that the accords are not allowing heroes to help, SHIELD returns, and you 5 return to the Avengers and get them back on track. The members of the Security council are using every last pull they can get to help, but Stark and Coulson made sure to trash their reputations."
Steve has no need for the help of paper pushers.
"He will send some armies first Cap, we must stop them first."
"Then we will be ready, we will stop the fire monster, and then we will save the world from the accords."
It was time to be heroes again.
"I will save you soon Tony, just wait, we will be a family once again."
And then, Steve will finally pursue his destiny and be with Tony, the team will return, and everything will be the way it should.
