The Rouges Meet Tony's New Family

The jet slowly landed on the pad.

Steve sighted in relief, finally, after two years abroad, they were back home again.

"We are finally back !" Steve said.

"Took long enough." Clint mumbled. "What the hell took Stark that long ?"

"Probably busy with his robots, lord knows they are the only friends he has." Wanda said, making Clint laugh.

"He just needed time to make sure his ego was in check." Natasha said.

Steve smiled a bit at the banter. It was feeling like before.

Though Steve can not deny that he is really looking forward to see Tony.

Wanda was right, aside from Rhodes, Tony really did not have anyone but the team. Considering he never called Steve, that meant that he had been isolating himself, and that couldn't be good.

Lucky for him, his family is back. And as soon as Tony apologizes, they will take him back.

That's what families do after all.

The jet finally landed, and they could get out.

Steve stepped out, and gave a big smile. Taking in the first breath in the American.

He was home. Finally.

They all got out of the plane, and walked beside Steve. All except for Scott who had left a long time before.

Steve turned to clap Bucky on the back. He was probably nervous after meeting Tony again, and Steve has to reassure him he won’t allow anything to happen to him.

“Don’t worry Buck. It’s all gonna be alright. I won’t allow anything to happen to you.

Bucky said nothing.

"So what now Cap ?" Sam asked.

"We need to get to work now. Go back to your rooms and rest, then to the meeting room. We need to start preparing for the moment we are called."

Steve also needed to find Tony. It was time to put everything behind and start a new.

"Wow, I knew you were an idiot Rogers. But I did not expect the Wakandian sun to fry your brain cells."

Steve turned to the familiar voce.

"Fury ?"

Sure enough, Nick Fury walked out of the doors.

"But, what I am expecting from the man that thought the UN was a government." Fury shook his head.

"Sir what...." Clint started, but Fury silenced him.

"Not here Barton. We are gonna talk, but we will do it inside. Training drills are about to start, and I will not interrupt them if I where you."

Drills ? Steve thought. There can't be any drills without him around ?

Fury however did not wait to them, and signaled them to follow.

As they entered inside, they got their first surprise.

It was.....full of people. So many....

"Who are all of this people ?" Wanda asked.

"People that work here Ms. Maximoff. Its been two years, things change." Fury said, not looking at them. "Now you folks might be willing to stick your head on the sand, but I assure you, the world keeps moving."

Steve ignored that comment and looked shocked.

The compound had looked the same from the outside, but from the inside....it looked like it was a new place.

They tried to question Fury about it, but he just ignored them and signaled them to the conference room.

Once they were there, and sat down, Fury spoke.

"Allright then." Fury mumbled. "Now that we are all here, I can finally ask. WHAT WHERE YOU IDIOTS THINKING !"

The rouges flinched at the yell, shocked about Fury's outburst.

"Sir." Steve started. "The accords, they were...."

"Oh shut the fuck up Rogers. Shut, the fuck, UP !" He slammed his fist on the table. "Don't go here spilling your bullshit on the Accords. You didn't even read them. None of you did !"

"But Sir..." Clint started. "The Accords were wrong. Stark just wanted to control us !"

"Really. I know you were never at SHIELD for your brain Barton, but that's what you think the Accords are ?"

"The bastard threw us away, he worked with Ross. I know what the accords are !"

"Really, well here is a tip Barton. Do you know who presented the accords to Stark, me. I was the one that told him about them. I was the one that asked him to sign them. All what you claim was done by him, it has been me all along."

The rouges stood quiet at hearing that.

Fury had given Tony the accords ! But why ? Why had Fury done that. Could he not see that the Accords wanted to control them ?

"So, am I a bastard too ? Come on Barton, tell that to my face !"

Clint did not speak. Still being afraid of Fury after all this time.

Fury then turned to Wanda, who was moving her hands.

"I suggest not doing that Ms. Maximoff. Not only will it not work, but it will get you in trouble."

Wanda looked shocked. "How..."

"You are not that special. During your absence, we came across many other witches and wizards. All of them who were equally disgusted by you and your miss use of your powers. So they made sure you would not be able to do so again."

Wanda winced at that.

"Hey, leave her alone Fury, she is just a kid !"

"I will have you read what defines a kid later on Rogers. But I'll say this, Maximoff is not a kid, and you better stop saying that unless you want someone to punch you on the face."

Steve snapped his mouth shut.

"Now I know what you idiots were thinking. Oh, we are gonna come back, and everything is gonna be just like it was before. Well I am not sorry to pop your bubble. But that ain't happening."

He looked straight at Steve.

"First of all, and I can already tell what you are thinking. Rogers is NOT the leader of the Avengers. He is not an authority, and following his orders will get you in trouble."

"WHAT !" Everyone yelled at that.

Steve could not believe it....he is not the leader of the team ! But...but why, he is the best qualified to do so !

"So what, Stark is the leader now ? Well I will not follow that bastard !"

"You will if you had too, unless you want to head of to a German prison. But no, Stark is not the leader. Unlike certain someone, he knows he is not qualified to lead the Avengers. No, you people will answer to Colonel Rhodes, and Captain Danvers. They are your leaders, and you will follow their rules."

The Rouges grumbled about it all being unfair.

"Next on the business. Rogers and Wilson, you both have been dishonorably discharged from the Military. Barton and Romanoff, you have been stripped from you posts as SHIELD agents. I would trend carefully, Coulson has not been happy with you, specially with Romanoff, after that stunt named the Info Dump. You are expected to sign the accords and follow all the guidelines from them..."

"So we are to bow down to Ross after everything !" Sam yelled outraged.

"Wilson for the love of god, did any of you watch the news. Ross is in jail now. He is gonna be there for the next 50 years."

"So what is the difference, we just have to follow another crocked politician." Clint spatted.

"Well considering I am the US representative of the Accords Council, I appreciate you calling me that Barton. If your objective is to get allies, you lot are doing a terrible job."

Clint and Sam did not speak.

"Surely we can do some compromises." Natasha said. "You do need us, and we want to get the best work done. So maybe we can get into a deal or..."

"Romanoff, it astounds me that you keep talking about Stark's ego, when yours is threw the roof. Are you sure you are not deflecting ? Now listen, you people are not needed. Not any of you are special. Romanoff so you are a spy, a former Black Widow. well tell me, does the name, Yelena Belova ring a bell ?"

Natasha said nothing. Steve looked wondering.

"So what Rogers. You say you "don't like secrets." Steve felt the anger, the pure fury at that phrase."How does it feel that Romanoff did not tell you about her own sister ?"

"WHAT !" Steve, Sam, and Wanda looked at her. Clint lowered his head. He had known, but he always assumed she was dead.

"Nat, you have a sister !" Sam said shocked.

"Oh yes. She does, and guess what. She left her behind on the Red Room, with the man she and Barton supposedly killed, but surprise, he was alive all along. At least until two years ago when Stark and Belova finally killed the bastard for real. But my point is, she is a former Widow like you Romanoff, except that she does not have the history of backstabbing as you. She's social, she is genuine, and I will assume she is a better spy, since she immediately saw threw Stark's masks, while you have known him for years and still fail to see past them."

Natasha visibly shook. Not expecting that.

What Steve could not know is how much she uses the fact she is the only Widow. With another one here.....her clout suddenly got much less.

“And even then, it could be argued you are still the most valued one here Romanoff. I mean, Barton ? We got tons of shooters, including a girl that masters the bow. Wilson can fly, big deal, there are many that can, and with much more efficient methods. Maximoff, there is an entire order of sorcerers that are much more skilled, and more trusted than her. And you Rogers, you somehow are the least special. Without that frisbee all you can do is punch hard. Guess what, more than half of the people here have super strength. Much more than yours. Out of you all, the only special one here is Barnes. He’s a super soldier with actual training. Only one that has something real to offer.”

The Rouges were shocked at Fury.

“Wait...what do you mean....the people here ?” Steve asked slowly.

“Are you saying....there are new Avengers ?” Sam asked.

“You really thought the world was just gonna Wait for you.” Fury gave a dark chuckle. “What, you thought it was just Stark, Rhodes, Vision, And the Spider Kid ?”

The Rogues did not say anything. They had believed that.

“Well.....let me tell you. The Avengers have MANY new people. People that like I said, outshine you all.....and I’ll say this. None of them like you very much.”

With that Fury handled them a pack of papers.

“This is what you must sign to remain here in the compound, alongside the Accords of course. You are more than welcome not to sign them, but if you refuse, you gotta find your own place to live. Lawyers will come tomorrow to explain everything to you. For now, I will take you to your quarters.”

The shocked Rouges, who could not believe how much it had all changed. “Oh and Rogers...”

Before Steve could even think. Fury punched him straight in the face.

“Wha....” Steve mumbled, but Fury then grabbed his head and slammed it into the table.

His team watched shocked, as Fury strikes Captain America, with an anger they had not seen from him.

Like Steve did something personally against Fury.

Steve winced in pain as Fury grabbed his hair.

“Listen here Rogers.” He whispered. “I saw what you did in Siberia, I saw your lies, and your disgusting actions after that. So I’m gonna tell you this once. If you ever harm my family again, if you ever hurt my godson again. I will make sure the rest of your life is as miserable and painful as possible. And I promise you, I’m not alone in that. I do wonder though....does your team know what really happened on Siberia, or did you lie to them to ?”

Steve paled at hearing that. Then Fury finally left him go.

“Now follow me you idiots.”

The man walked away.

“Steve, are you ok ?” Clint asked.

He turned to the spies. “Did you know Tony is Fury’s Godson ?”

Both spies paled at the implication of that.

Fury’s anger made a lot of sense.

Steve shook his head.

"Don't worry guys. I will talk to Tony and get all of this settled. We are his family after all."

At that, Fury let out a dark chuckle.

"Oh Rogers. You are more delusional that I thought. You are not his family. But make no mistake, Tony Stark does have a family, and you better not piss any of them off, or they will make your lifes hell."

Fury left the idiots on their rooms. Of course it was not the custom rooms they were used to, and of course they are bitching about it.

But Fury was done catering their egos. Lord knows he made that mistake before.

The ball is on them. If they mess up, no one will come to rescue them or clear them of everything.

He truly pitted Hill, who would be at the meeting with the lawyers tomorrow, to explain them everything.

Though he expected Rhodes to be there again. Not only because he and Hill have been flirting with the other for a while, but because Rhodes needs to make some clear to the Rouges, specially Rogers.

Truthfully, punching Rogers had felt so satisfactory.

Fury had seen what the man did. How he punched his godson like he was some random enemy. How he left him behind, and weren't it for T'Challa and Vision, he would be dead. If that would have happened, Rogers would be a corpse, with a bullet on his brain.

He had also not been surprised that he had not told his team what really happened in Siberia. Lang had already told them the version he told them in Wakanda, which of course, ignored all important facts, and made it like he was the hero of the story.

Fury sometime wonders what would happen if he had never made Rogers part, much less leader, of the Avengers. Or if they never found him. Certainly many issues would have been avoided.

Truth is, Rogers was never in the original Avengers Initiative. Neither where Romanoff and Barton. Stark, Banner, and Thor had always been in it, but the other planned members were Danvers, and assuming she took the mantle from her mother, Van Dyne. But Loki came, and Peirce changed the plans. Maybe the bastard knew this would happen.

Well, they could not change the past. All what matters is that the time Rogers enjoyed free reign over the Avengers is long over, and he knows certain people are gonna make sure they all learn that.

His godson had true people on his back. He is safe now. He knows what friends are.

His relationship with Tony had always been kept a secret for safety reason. As had his long time friendship with Howard Stark. On SHIELD, the only ones that knew where Hill, Coulson, May, and Carter. The Agents he truly trusted, and his niece obviously. In the Avengers, Banner was the only one that learned the truth (Thor would learn it later on, after his change of personality and behavior), then on the new team, Rhodes and Vision knew it.

He did debate if he should have told the others, but in the end, he decided not to. He had no idea how they would handle the news.

He turned to the lab door, where Tony was with Yelena.

That woman had been a gift by the universe to his godson. Someone that truly understood him, and could be with him at his worst. He does have theories why Romanoff kept her from them, but frankly it does not matter now.

They had become friends so fast, that Fury smelled the romance coming, months before Tony asked her out.

"Hey Nicky" Tony said from his desk. "How did the meeting with the idiots went ?"

"As expected. They thought it was all gonna be back to how they were."

"Expected." Yelena snorted.

Fury saw a fiery rage on her eyes.

He has no doubt Rogers is gonna get a big scare today.

“I see you are out of the lab.”

“Well, Yelena here didn’t allow me to spend more time there.”

“Well someone got lost in the science world today and I refuse to let you skip dinner. So I’m taking him to dinner, even if it’s to McDonald’s.”

“Hey, McDonald’s is great !”

Fury let out a fond snort.

“Do take care of yourself Stark, you have important work to do, but don’t loose yourself in it.”

“Ah, you care.”

Fury actually smiled at that.

“Well....I did say once. I’m an old man that cares a lot about you.”

With that he walked away.

“Oh and don’t worry about confronting the idiots, I bet there are a lot of people here that want to say something to them.”

Steve awoke with a yelp, as he felt something cold...something sharp !

“What the....”

“Hiiii !”

Steve turns quickly but carefully to the voice.

In his room was a blond woman, who was holding a knife at his throat. Though he could not see her face clearly because of the dark.

“Who...”

“Papapa. Quiet there Mr. Rogers. I just came here to say something and that’s it.”

Steve glupped. He was trapped, and he couldn’t call for help from the team without risking it.

“Listen here, if you behave, it will all be well. But.....”

She pressed the blade closer to his throat.

“If you ever hurt the ones I love, if you keep being the delusional idiot you are, and hurt the man I love. This blade....will be nothing compared to what I do to you.....well, good chat, bye !”

A bright flash came, and Steve closed his eyes.

Then he didn’t feel the cold blade anymore, and the woman was gone.

Steve took deep breaths to calm himself.

All of this was temporal. As soon as he talks to Tony, it will all return to how it was.

Right ?
